Megan Rapinoe also scored in the 2-0 victory that earned the United States its second straight World Cup trophy, and fourth overall.

New York (CNN) — Skittles’ newest flavor doesn’t taste like the rainbow.In celebration of National Mustard Day on August 5, the candy brand has partnered with French’s to make its first-ever mustard-flavored skittle.

People brave enough to try the new flavor can do that at French’s “Mustard Mobile” that’s stopping in three US cities, including Atlanta on July 31, Washington on August 2 and New York on August 5.

Readers sound off on new MLB rules, NYCHA homes and rewriting Black history

Don’t shorten baseball games by cheapening themFlushing: It has become obvious that fans watching the recently construed shortening of Major League Baseball games have become turned off by the new rule speeding up the conclusion of games that have been tied at the end of nine innings. And starting the 10th inning by placing a player of the offensive team on second base before the inning starts is not a legitimate method of bringing the game to an early conclusion.I suggest that another solution is right before our eyes if we dare to examine prizefighting: If neither fighter has scored a knockout, then at the end of a 10-round boxing match, a point system is invoked to declare the winner. If this is working for boxing, why can’t it work for baseball? The point system would be easy to execute by assigning a 4 for every home run, a 3 for every triple, a 2 for every double and a 1 for every single or walk acquired by the offensive team. The team that has acquired the most po...
