Kylian Mbappe is speaking out after a Paraguayan senator posted a series of racist remarks mocking his background and education following France's World Cup action. Mbappe called her despicable and flat out unworthy of her position, and frankly the condemnation has been swift and loud across the football world.
Shifting to the World Cup knockout round, Belgium midfielder Nicolas Raskin says his team carried a genuine sense of injustice into their last-sixteen clash with the United States, after FIFA suspended Folarin Balogun's red card ban just before kickoff in Seattle. Raskin made clear that decision lit a fire under Belgium, and the Red Devils used that edge to push through and take the win.
And out in Los Angeles, the Dodgers are the first team in baseball this season to reach sixty wins, but they had to work for it Monday night. Shohei Ohtani homered and drove in four runs against Colorado, but a blown three-run lead in the ninth forced extras. Dalton Rushing came through with a walk-off single in the eleventh against a drawn-in infield, sealing an eight to seven thriller and keeping Los Angeles rolling at sixty and thirty-two.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
