Harry Kane has officially written himself into the history books. The England captain surpassed Pelé on the all-time World Cup goals list with a strike against DR Congo, cementing his place among the game's true immortals. The record had stood for decades, and Kane broke it on the biggest stage.

That match was anything but routine, though. DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi delivered one of the more stunning individual performances you'll see in a World Cup, turning in four extraordinary saves that nearly stunned England entirely. The result went England's way, but Mpasi left that pitch having earned the respect of every fan watching.

Shifting to baseball, Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli is in damage control mode after shouting a racially charged remark at Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras during a benches-clearing incident. Cavalli has since apologized, calling it unintentional, but those words carry weight regardless of intent, and Major League Baseball will almost certainly be taking a close look at what happened.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
