Brazil supplied the day’s sporting drama in Houston, coming from behind to beat Japan 2-1 and reach the World Cup last 16 thanks to Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time winner after Casemiro had cancelled out Kaishu Sano’s opener. Attention now turns to Boston, where Germany face Paraguay in a Round of 32 tie that offers the Germans a chance to reassert themselves in the knockout stages for the first time in years. Off the pitch, sport was shadowed by legal turmoil. Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis were indicted in a widening federal sports gambling probe, with prosecutors alleging bets were tied to manipulated on-court performance. In the NFL, the Detroit Lions released cornerback Terrion Arnold just hours after he was granted bond in a Florida kidnapping and armed robbery case. Outside sport, Germany was also confronting tragedy after a deadly shooting in Stade left several people dead.
