England coach Thomas Tuchel says there is total confusion over the disciplinary process at the World Cup after Fifa’s shock decision not to ban Folarin Balogun.United States striker Balogun, who was sent off against Bosnia-Herzegovina, should have been banned for the last-16 tie against Belgium (Tuesday 01:00 BST).But Fifa opted not to enforce an immediate suspension, meaning the co-hosts’ leading goalscorer will be available to play.With Jarell Quansah’s sent off in England’s 3-2 win over Mexico, Tuchel was asked if he would be petitioning Fifa to get the ban cancelled before Saturday’s quarter-final against Norway. “Where does this start and…

I was not one of those, choosing to get some sleep and catch up on things when I woke up, and the World Cup continues for Thomas Tuchel’s side and the Arsenal lads involved after a 3-2 win at the Azteca. Bukayo Saka started the game and provided an assist for Jude Bellingham to open the scoring, and the Real Madrid man put England 2-0 up with another goal straight from…
Tour de France fans have been urged not to attend the end of the third stage because of wildfires in the south of France.Monday’s mountain stage will begin in Granollers, Spain, and conclude within 60 kilometres (37.3 miles) of some of the worst of the fires across the border in Les Angles.While the 195.9km route is not expected to change, Tour organisers have asked fans and unessential personnel to stay away from the final 40km.”An exceptional fire calls for exceptional measures for the Tour,” said race director Christian Prudhomme.”We invite the public not to come to the edge of the…

India’s N. Shree Charani finished as the highest wicket-taker in this edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 with 14 wickets in five games.In what was a disappointing group stage exit for the reigning ODI World champion side, Charani was a stable presence with her left-arm spin. Her standout game was a four-wicket haul against Netherlands where she gave away just 19 runs.

The major negative for Welsh rugby was the fact the match was played in front of a disappointing crowd of 16,456 in the first rugby international played at Cardiff City’s football stadium, which has a capacity of more than 33,000.This victorious Wales side, who beat a team two places above them in the world rankings, deserved to have celebrated that success in front of more fans.International rugby is supposed to be the pinnacle and should not be performed in front of thousands of empty seats.This was the second successive week the Wales men’s side have played in front of underwhelming…
Jaron Ennis has named his primary target after becoming a two-division unified champion against Xander Zayas. The two super-welterweights squared off last Saturday, with ‘Boots’ scoring three knockdowns en route to a seventh-round stoppage victory. As a result, the 29-year-old now holds the WBO and WBA titles at 154lbs, putting him in position for a three-belt unification match with either Sebastian Fundora or Josh Kelly. The latter champion claimed his IBF title by defusing explosive puncher Bakhram Murtazaliev in January, when a classy performance earned him a majority decision triumph. Kelly is now expected to defend his strap against Caoimhin…
