Mass brawl
HUNDREDS of people were arrested and at least another 55 injured after a pitched battle broke out at an Eritrean festival in Järvafältet in Stockholm, Sweden. Visitors to the four-day event clashed with demonstrators who had turned up to protest against it. The Eritrean festival grounds turned into a battleground as the two sides clashed, armed with stones and sticks. Among those injured were three police officers.
Historical win
SWEDEN clinched victory in a nail-biting Women's World Cup clash, ending USA's journey in the round of 16. After a goalless tie through regulation and extra time, penalty kicks decided the fate. USA's Megan Rapinoe, Sophia Smith, and Kelly O'Hara faltered, handing Sweden a 5-4 shootout win. This untimely exit marked USA's earliest World Cup departure.
