The World Cup hangover is real, and it's getting ugly. FIFA has opened a formal disciplinary investigation after Argentina players and coaches were caught on camera physically attacking members of the Spain squad following Sunday's final. What should have been a moment of sport is now a matter of record, and both federations are bracing for consequences.
Meanwhile, Spain isn't thinking about any of that right now. An estimated two million fans flooded the streets of Madrid on Monday as the new world champions rolled through the city on an open-top bus parade. The players soaked in every second of it, and honestly, who could blame them. This is what winning the world's biggest trophy looks like when the confetti finally settles.
Shifting to the diamond, and if you love watching a pitcher throw absolute smoke, tonight's Brewers-Mets matchup is your game. Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound against Freddy Peralta, a former Milwaukee arm who built his reputation throwing heat. Two power arms, one summer night in New York — that's must-watch baseball any way you frame it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
