Germany's football future just got thrown wide open. Julian Nagelsmann has resigned as men's national team head coach, and the German FA is now pursuing talks with Jurgen Klopp about taking the job. Klopp, of course, has been out of management since leaving Liverpool, and this would be a homecoming of historic proportions.

Switching to the World Cup, where Argentina and Cape Verde are set to collide in the Round of thirty two, with kickoff drawing serious attention from bettors and broadcasters alike. Argentina enter as overwhelming favourites, but Cape Verde have been one of the tournament's feel-good stories, and nobody's writing them off just yet.

And staying with the World Cup, there's a compelling subplot brewing at Newcastle. Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa both endured difficult debut seasons at St James' Park, but the two combined for five goals on the World Cup stage, and that kind of form in the tournament's biggest moments has Newcastle supporters suddenly very optimistic about what next season could bring.

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