Italy are flying in Nations League play after a dominant three-nil win over Turkiye that has the Azzurri sitting second in their group. Scamacca got things going, then Calafiori and Pio Esposito piled on, and now Roberto Mancini's squad has November circled with a quarter-final spot firmly in their sights.
Across to club football, and Raphinha is staying at Barcelona. Fabrizio Romano confirms the Brazilian winger has already signed a new deal running through June two thousand thirty, with the formal announcement expected Friday. After a season where he was arguably Barca's most dangerous attacker, locking him down long-term is a significant statement of intent from the club.
And in golf, LIV is not going quietly. The breakaway tour has secured up to three hundred million dollars in financing from BC Partners Credit, a move designed to pull the organization out of restructuring before the two thousand twenty-seven season gets underway. That is serious money, and it signals LIV's backers still believe there is a future worth fighting for.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
