The World Cup delivered both drama and definition, with Argentina surviving a major scare to beat Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time, Lionel Messi again at the center of it all as the holders were pushed to the brink before sealing a place in the last 16 against Egypt. Colombia joined them with a far calmer passage, Jhon Arias scoring early in a 1-0 win over Ghana to book a meeting with Switzerland. Morocco, meanwhile, continued one of the tournament’s most efficient runs, weathering Canada’s bright start before striking three times to reach the quarter-finals and end the co-hosts’ campaign. Attention also turned to Philadelphia, where France and Paraguay prepared for a heat-affected knockout clash with Morocco awaiting the winner. Beyond football, India’s 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made a record-breaking T20 debut, offering a glimpse of cricket’s next generation despite England’s win.
