The World Cup delivered both drama and defiance, with Curaçao claiming a historic first point on the game’s biggest stage thanks to an extraordinary performance from goalkeeper Eloy Room, whose record 15 saves frustrated Ecuador in a remarkable 0-0 draw. Germany, meanwhile, booked its place in the knockout stage for the first time since 2014, Deniz Undav’s late double completing a 2-1 comeback against Ivory Coast and signaling a more resilient edge from the four-time champions. Attention also turns to Group H, where Spain faces Saudi Arabia in a match carrying early pressure and plenty of global viewing interest. Beyond the tournament, football paused to mourn after Mark Hughes announced the sudden death of his son Alex at 38, prompting tributes across the game. In golf, Scottie Scheffler heads into the final round of the U.S. Open as the chief pursuer of leader Wyndham Clark.
