The two thousand twenty six World Cup knockout stage is here, and Canada has a massive moment on Sunday. South Africa stands between the Canadians and the round of sixteen, a clash that carries serious weight for a host nation that has never advanced this far in a World Cup on home soil. The country is watching.
Speaking of the World Cup, England's path through the knockout rounds is set, and BBC One will carry their last thirty two tie against DR Congo live for the nation. With France sitting at the top of the remaining field and Algeria at the bottom of the rankings, the bracket is wide open and the drama is only building from here.
Shifting to the hardwood, Nikola Jokic may not be rushing to the negotiating table, but the word out of Denver is that the big man wants to stay. League sources tell HoopsHype that Jokic has privately reiterated his long term commitment to the Nuggets, and if he waits until next summer, he actually picks up an additional year on any extension. Denver fans can breathe for now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
