Germany's World Cup campaign is over, and it ended in the cruelest way possible — penalties against Paraguay in the round of thirty-two. Manuel Neuer, forty years old, made his final international bow, and despite the heartbreak, the veteran keeper says he has zero regrets about returning for one last run in the gold shirt. That's the mark of a competitor.
Shifting to the Premier League, Everton's Vitor Pereira era is officially in the books, and what a chapter it turned out to be. The Portuguese boss arrived with doubters circling, but he delivered an unbeaten run to safety, a European semi-final appearance, and a fanbase that remembered what it felt like to enjoy football again. Now attention turns to Oliver Glasner, and the expectation is the supporters are going to like what they see.
And over at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford's World Cup is going nowhere fast. Named in the starting lineup again but unable to make any kind of impact, the Manchester United forward is running out of time to remind the world why he belongs on this stage. The squad is through to the last sixteen, but Rashford's personal tournament remains a quiet, frustrating story.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
