Jude Bellingham is England's savior once again. The Three Lions found themselves trailing Norway one-nil before Bellingham dragged them back into it before halftime, then delivered the decisive blow in extra time to seal a two-one victory. England are through to the World Cup semifinals, and this kid is carrying a nation on his back.
Meanwhile the other side of the bracket is still being decided, as Argentina and Switzerland battle it out in the quarterfinals. All eyes are on Lionel Messi, who continues to operate at a level that defies logic and age. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner is being tracked for every touch, every run, every moment of brilliance as the defending champions push for a semifinal berth.
And shifting to the octagon, Gable Steveson announced himself to the UFC in the loudest possible way. With Jon Jones watching from his corner, the Olympic wrestling gold medalist needed just one round to put his opponent away with a thunderous knockout in his promotional debut. The combat sports world is officially on notice.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
