MIAMI, July 1 : By any measure, Cape Verde should have next to no chance of knocking Argentina and Lionel Messi out of the World Cup on Friday, but the Africans have huge confidence in their ability to defy the odds and keep their fairytale debut campaign alive.
VANCOUVER, July 1 : Sweden's World Cup came to an abrupt and inevitable end at the hands of Kylian Mbappe and a French side who are among the favourites to win the whole tournament, but after treading a rocky road to get to the finals, the path forward has become a little clearer for Graham Potter and his team.
LONDON, July 1 : Defending Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner had several members of Europe's Ryder Cup team watching his second-round clash with Nuno Borges on Wednesday and in golfing parlance he kept it straight down the middle in a relatively risk-free victory.
TORONTO: Portugal and Croatia’s World Cup last-32 clash on Thursday could be Cristiano Ronaldo or Luka Modric’s final game on soccer’s biggest stage, and the massive moment will unfold at the tournament’s smallest venue. If there was any skepticism about how the 43,036-seat Toronto Stadium would hold up against its much bigger counterparts in the US and Mexico, that was squashed by electric atmospheres, sellout crowds and special moments in the five group matches it hosted. Toronto Stadium is not the grandest venue, but what it lacks in size it makes up for by bringing fans closer to the action and players, with few bad seats in the house. Before hosting World Cup matches, the home of Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC underwent a C$158 million ($111.4 million) facelift to bring its capacity up to tournament standards, and those temporary changes are paying off. Soccer fan James Cuthbert said the venue did not feel like a World Cup stadium in March when Canada played Iceland in a friendly as it was still being renovated. But when he returned for Senegal and Iraq’s group match last Friday, he was impressed. “It feels different, it feels more like a world-class stadium,” said Cuthbert, who also attended the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Cuthbert and his wife were sitting in the back row of a 200-level section at Toronto Stadium but were very happy with the view. “We’re (in) the very highest seats but it feels amazing,” he said.
