The World Cup final is live and it is a war. Argentina and Spain are grinding through a physical, tightly contested match in what has been more muscle than magic so far. Argentina are doing exactly what they did to England — relentless, aggressive, right on the edge of the rules, and giving Spain absolutely nothing for free.
Shifting to baseball, Yoshinobu Yamamoto walked into Yankee Stadium on Sunday and reminded everyone why Los Angeles paid him like royalty. The Dodgers ace went the distance in the doubleheader opener, outdueling Yankees starter Cam Schlittler in a complete game performance that had the Bronx crowd going quiet early and staying that way.
And keeping an eye on the NFL, Giants running back Cam Skattebo gave his team a scare after attempting a backflip and landing awkwardly on his surgically repaired ankle. The good news — Skattebo says he is perfectly fine. The less good news — a surgically repaired ankle is not exactly the ideal landing pad for postgame acrobatics, and New York will be watching that situation closely heading into camp.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
