You're locked in, this is Sports Desk.
At the World Cup, the panic meter is running hot after Brazil, Spain, and Portugal all dropped points in their openers, but Colombia had absolutely no such problems. Luis Diaz was unplayable against Uzbekistan, finishing with a goal and an assist as the South Americans cruised to victory and shot straight to the top of Group K. Ghana also got the job done, beating Panama late to add some drama to the day's slate.
Speaking of the World Cup, England are giving their fans something to believe in. Jude Bellingham looked locked in as the Three Lions dismantled Croatia four goals to two, with Harry Kane and company earning every bit of the thunderous reception from their traveling supporters. Thomas Tuchel's side looked sharp, organized, and genuinely dangerous going forward.
And shifting to baseball, Shohei Ohtani gutted through a rough one in Los Angeles. The Dodgers ace battled a bloodied finger and surrendered a season-high four earned runs, but he found a way to get the win regardless. That kind of toughness on the mound is exactly why this man remains must-watch television every single time he takes the ball.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
