So much happening in the world of sports besides the box office fanfare this weekend.
Messi's debut with MLS (Major League Soccer)
Today could be one of the most monumental days in US soccer. Lionel Messi makes his debut for David Beckham's Miami FC team. While we're so excited to see Messi in that iconic pink jersey, but is he as popular as Taylor Swift? The tickets to his debut match cost about $712 on average. If you've ever looked at Taylor Swift concert tickets, you realize it is a deal.
The Open Championship (Golf)
Will Rory McIlroy take away his sixth top-10 finish in a row? Let's see what the Natterjack Toads say about this. The rare Natterjack Toad inhabits the grounds of the golf course, and the groundskeepers have been trained to ensure the safety of the Toads so that spectators or golfers do not harm them. Golf has a rule that you play it where it lies, and if the ball lands next to an alligator or in thick grass, you have to figure out how to hit it. In this case, referees will assist if a ball falls near one of those toads.
Women's World Cup (Soccer)
Let's talk Women's World Cup. It started this week, and the US Women's Team will take on the team from Vietnam on Friday evening for their first game of the Women's World Cup. They are trying to go for a historic back-to-back-to-back win. Veterans Alex Morgan and self-proclaimed "fun grandma" Megan Rapinoe lead the team. Keep an eye out for Trinity Rodman, the daughter of Dennis Rodman. She's one of the young talented members of the group.
Before we go
Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL) strength coach Kevin Maxson came out gay, and that's a first for a male coach in major men's US professional sports.
In F1 (Formula 1), originally intending to take the year off, one of the best personalities in the sport, Daniel Ricciardo, is back on the track racing this weekend. Let's hope that he gets a win so we can see him do a shoey, which is when he takes a drink of his champagne out of his dirty race shoe.
It is the final weekend for the Tour de France, so watch for that in our Monday update.
That's what you need to know for the weekend.
