England rebounds from South Africa loss by crushing 14-man Fiji 73-8 in Nations Championship
LIVERPOOL: England mollified their critics for a week after smothering a dismal Fiji by a record 73-8 in Nations Championship rugby on Saturday. Relevant questions about England’s lineup, tactics and attitude after the hammering from world champion South Africa in Johannesburg last weekend were pacified somewhat by coming home and posting an equally unsurprising 11-try win against outclassed Fiji. Fiji struggled for possession and could not handle England’s scrum, maul and defense. Under pressure, Fiji conceded 12 penalties — nine by halftime — and a red card to scrumhalf Simione Kuruvoli for lashing out with his boot into the stomach of Ellis Genge. That meant Fiji played the entire second half down a man and England could play wider and be ruthless.

African results justify World Cup slots increase amid criticism
JOHANNESBURG: When four-time World Cup winners Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 tournament, then head coach Gennaro Gattuso lamented that Africa had so many places at the global showcase. “Africa deserves fewer World Cup slots,” he said, referring to the number of automatic qualifying places allocated to that continent rising from five to nine in an expanded 48-nation event. It became 10 when the Democratic Republic of Congo won an inter-continental play-off and returned to the World Cup after 52 years. Was Gattuso, a midfielder in the Italian 2006 World Cup-winning team, correct? Was Africa over represented in the United States, Canada and Mexico? Apart from a disastrous showing by Tunisia, who axed coach Sabri Lamouchi after their first group game and lost all three matches, African flag-bearers proved competitive, justifying their presence. The other nine representatives reached the knockout stage, five as group runners-up. The other four were among the eight best third-placed teams. That represents 90 percent success, the highest among the FIFA regions, followed by South America (83.33), Europe (81.25) and Asia (22.22). Europe did surge to the fore in the knockout phase with six quarter-finalists.
‘Sleepless night’ for Swiss bars to show World Cup quarter-final
GENEVA: Pubs and restaurants in many cantons and cities in Switzerland will be allowed to stay open all night on Saturday to allow football fans to watch their World Cup quarter-final against Argentina which kicks off at 3am local time (0100GMT) on Sunday morning. In Geneva, the cantonal authorities announced in a press release all public establishments in the cafe-restaurant and bar categories could open “without time restrictions during the night of July 11 to 12 and to show the match.” Switzerland, who have qualified for the quarter-finals of a World Cup for the first time since 1954, face Lionel Messi’s much-fancied Argentina, the reigning world champions, overnight in Kansas City. For the Nati, as the Swiss team is known, it is a chance to avenge the shattered dream of the round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup, when Argentina won at the very end of extra-time. According to the ATS-Keystone agency, the cantons of Jura and Bern have granted a similar exceptional waiver for public establishments. The curfew has also been lifted in a number of other cities including Lausanne, Sion and Sierre while Zurich has granted a “Freinacht” (“sleepless night“) in indoor restaurants and bars. The canton of Basel-Landschaft has likewise “authorized extended opening hours for restaurants and bars, including those operating temporarily as part of the World Cup,” until 6am local time on Sunday.
