At Petco Park, the Padres dropped the opener against Toronto in what's becoming a frustrating pattern. Xander Bogaerts gave San Diego a spark with a two-run shot in the first, but the offense went quiet after that, managing only a late scratch of runs before the final whistle. Not the send-off they wanted heading into the All Star Break.
Shifting to the World Cup, and England manager Thomas Tuchel is not happy. Defender Jarell Quansah picked up an upgraded two-match ban from FIFA for serious foul play in the win over Mexico, and Tuchel says he's received zero explanation for the decision. Quansah misses the quarter-final against Norway and potentially the semi-final, a brutal blow for England's defensive depth at the worst possible moment.
And speaking of Norway, the quarter-final matchup is set — Erling Haaland and his side now face Harry Kane's England in what could be the defining game of this tournament. Norway have been nothing short of electric, but England represent a wall unlike anything they've encountered. Meanwhile, Spain are celebrating a semifinal berth after dismantling Belgium, with fans flooding the streets in scenes of pure joy.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
