Spain and Belgium are set to collide in a World Cup quarterfinal that has the football world buzzing. SportsLine's experts have been breaking down the matchup with picks and parlays, and this one shapes up as a genuine tactical chess match between two of Europe's most dangerous sides. Do not sleep on this game.
Speaking of football on a different scale, Worthing FC are making history. The Rebels earned promotion to the National League, meaning fifth-tier football is now their reality, and their very first game at that level sends them to Brunton Park to face Carlisle United on the eighth of August. For a club from Sussex, this is a landmark moment that their supporters will remember for a long time.
And rounding out the day, England's men's football program has issued new behavior guidelines advising players to stay off alcohol on the day before and the day after matches. It sounds straightforward, but the fact it needed formalizing tells you something about the standards the program is working to establish ahead of a crucial international calendar.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
