Sport today is dominated by Spain’s World Cup triumph and the storm that followed it. La Roja returned to Madrid for a royal welcome and a huge open-top parade after Ferran Torres’s extra-time winner over Argentina, with vast crowds expected to turn the capital into a sea of celebration, even as the festivities were shadowed by the reported death of a teenager in a separate celebration accident. Argentina, meanwhile, was left reeling: manager Lionel Scaloni broke down in tears after the defeat, fuelling fresh uncertainty over his future. FIFA has also opened an investigation into post-match clashes between players and staff from both sides, ensuring the final’s fallout will continue well beyond the trophy lift. Away from football, golf delivered its own surreal subplot, with reports that Bryson DeChambeau sought Donald Trump’s help after a costly Open penalty dispute.
