Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Thomas Tuchel's England are heading into their second World Cup group game against Ghana with defensive questions hanging over them despite that four-two opening win over Croatia. Tuchel was caught on camera shouting at Djed Spence to wake up in training, though Ollie Watkins admitted he was lucky it wasn't aimed at him after making his own error just moments before. The attack is clicking, but the back line needs to hold firm.
Meanwhile at the two thousand twenty six World Cup, Day twelve brings a stacked slate with Argentina taking on Austria, France squaring off against Iraq, and Norway facing Senegal. The tournament is building real momentum, and with knockout places starting to take shape across multiple groups, every result from here carries serious weight for teams on the edge.
And switching codes entirely, Wyndham Clark has won his second US Open title at Shinnecock Hills, doing it the hard way against a crowd that was openly rooting against him. Clark stood firm under that pressure and earned the respect of even his harshest critics by the time he walked off eighteen. A champion who had to fight the fans and the field to get there.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
