Nineteen-year-old Pau Cubarsi is about to step onto the grandest stage in football. The Barcelona center-back is set to become the second-youngest defender ever to start a World Cup final, with Spain facing Argentina. Cubarsi spoke openly about the experience, even saying he could imagine playing alongside Lionel Messi someday. That's a teenager with serious composure.
Staying in the transfer market, Manchester United are in a race against the clock for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville. AS Roma have already made their move according to The Athletic, and the Red Devils, who made Summerville their leading target on the left wing ahead of a Champions League return, are scrambling to respond before the window slams shut on them.
On the diamond, the Boston Red Sox are rolling and looking to close out a four-game series sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Boston has been finding ways to win in unfamiliar fashion this season, while Tampa continues searching for answers. Meanwhile in Philadelphia, the Phillies handled the Mets but their offensive inconsistency remains a real conversation worth watching.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
