LONDON: Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign England World Cup midfielder Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, according to several reports on Saturday.

NEW YORK: FIFA President Gianni Infantino deemed the World Cup a success on Friday, saying the tournament achieved its mission of uniting people from all corners of the globe. Infantino spoke at the United Nations as part of a daylong session there about how the game can be a catalyst for youth mental health. He brought one of the official game balls that are to be used in Sunday’s World Cup final between Argentina and Spain to the stage, calling it “a magic object which has the power to unite the world.” “We hear it many times, don’t we, that we live in a divided world, that we live in an aggressive world, that there are so many things that divide us, that create us problems,” Infantino said.
DHAKA: There are rooftops draped in blue and white and murals of Lionel Messi everywhere — but this is not Argentina, it is Bangladesh where football-crazy fans are again celebrating their unique bond with the South American giants. The craze for Argentina has endured for decades in a country of 170 million people who have never qualified for the World Cup, but embrace the global showpiece with unmatched passion. The connection is once again on display ahead of Sunday’s final in New Jersey, where the defending champions will face Spain. While fans in Buenos Aires prepare for what they hope will be another night of celebration, the mood more than 10,000 miles away in Dhaka is also reaching fever pitch. “I was tense during the Argentina-Egypt match. I was sweating and almost cried,” motor mechanic Nurul Islam told AFP. “But now I can confidently say that Argentina will win.” Football fans in Bangladesh have traditionally split their loyalties between Argentina and Brazil, South America’s football powerhouses. But once Brazil were eliminated in the last 16 by Norway, many of their fans also threw their weight behind Argentina. By some accounts, Bangladesh is home to the largest number of fans of the Albiceleste outside Argentina. For many the love affair began with Diego Maradona’s performances at the 1986 World Cup.

SOUTHPORT, England, July 18 : New Zealand's Ryan Fox shot a record-equalling eight-under-par 62 at the 154th British Open on Saturday, the third such score in two days at a becalmed Royal Birkdale, to move into a share of the lead.
