Slovakia upset Belgium as VAR denies Lukaku twice

Ivan Schranz scored Slovakia’s quickest goal at a major tournament to take his side to a gritty upset 1-0 triumph over wasteful Belgium in European Championship Group E on Monday. It was Belgium’s first loss in 16 matches under coach Domenico Tedesco and a flashback to their disastrous 2022 World Cup campaign, although they did have two goals ruled out by VAR. Both were from the boot of Romelu Lukaku, the first for offside and the second a handball in the buildup on a hugely frustrating day for the Roma striker in which he also missed several clear-cut chances. After the match in Frankfurt, Germany, […]

Celtics survive Mavericks comeback to take 3-0 lead

Despite a nightmare fourth quarter that nearly saw them squander a 21-point lead, the Boston Celtics are one game from winning a record 18th NBA championship. Boston held off a spirited comeback attempt from the Dallas Mavericks to collect Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals 106-99 and take a 3-0 lead, all but putting the series away in front of the American Airlines Center crowd. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. Game 4 is arranged Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET in Dallas (ABC). The Mavericks entered the match with some reason for hope after Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis, […]

Scottie Scheffler brushes off being ‘target’ at U.S. Open

Even though Scottie Scheffler won in five of his last eight starts and is an overwhelming betting favorite to capture his third major championship victory at this week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, the world No. 1 golfer insists that he doesn’t feel like there’s a target on his back. “Like I said, when we start the tournament week, we’re all at even par and it’s not like anybody is out there playing defense,” Scheffler said Tuesday. With his 1-stroke victory at last week’s Memorial Tournament, Scheffler became only the fourth PGA Tour player in the past 60 seasons to pile […]

Max Verstappen claims victory over Lando Norris in thrilling Canadian GP

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came out on top in a thrilling Canadian Grand Prix, defeating McLaren’s Lando Norris to victory by 3.8 seconds at the chequered flag. The Mercedes of George Russell, Norris and Verstappen all led the race at different phases, with Norris losing the lead to Verstappen as a result of the timing of a safety car on lap 25 of 70. Once out in front, Verstappen avoided a number of potential pitfalls — including a switch from intermediate to slick tires and a second safety car on lap 53 — to take his sixth triumph of the […]

UConn coach Dan Hurley traveled to Southern California for a Friday meeting with Los Angeles Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss — with the organization eager to close on a deal to hire the two-time national championship coach. The Lakers’ pursuit of Hurley to become the franchise’s next coach has accelerated and the sides are already discussing the contractual parameters of a potential deal that would be significant in its length and salary, sources said.

Can Ferrari leave Canada top the constructors standings?

Three different winners in the past three races, and a real challenge starting to mount in both championships, has certainly increased the intrigue around each race weekend. And it’s time for the now-traditional interruption to the European season with a trip to Montreal, where selecting a winner stays tricky. We know, “struggles” is a relative term when talking about the team that are currently top of the constructors’ championship and leading the drivers’ standings too, but in recent context it’s been a tough run of form for Red Bull. Lando Norris’ victory in Miami was helped by a Safety Car […]

Islam Makhachev submits Dustin Poirier to retain UFC title

Dustin Poirier is widely recognized as the greatest UFC fighter to never hold an undisputed championship, and Islam Makhachev made sure that remained true Saturday night, submitting him in the fifth round to retain the lightweight title during UFC 302 at the Prudential Center. Makhachev had to fight hard versus a resilient adversary who did everything in his power to dethrone UFC’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in front of a crowd that desperately wanted to see Poirier achieve his dream. But on this night, Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) would gladly accept the role as both villain and dream shatterer. For 4½ rounds, […]

Patrick Reed out of U.S. Open qualifying, ends majors streak

Patrick Reed’s streak of playing every major since the 2014 Masters ended Monday when he withdrew from U.S. Open qualifying, leaving the LIV Golf player no other avenue to earn a spot at Pinehurst No. 2. Reed did well enough in the Masters (tie for 12th) to move enough into the top 100 in the world, and the PGA Championship gave him an invitation to play last week at Valhalla. The U.S. Open took the top 60 in the world from this week’s ranking. Reed is at No. 92 — he would have needed third place at Valhalla to crack […]

Tyson Fury ‘having fun’ as ‘fight of the century’ vs. Usyk nears

Tyson Fury danced and sang along to some of his favorite hits during a light workout Wednesday evening, three days out from his undisputed heavyweight championship clash with Oleksandr Usyk. England’s Fury, 35, wrapped his hands to the tune of AC/DC’s anthem “You Shook Me All Night Long.” He glided around the ring with trainer SugarHill Steward and pumped his right fist to the beat of The Killer’s “Mr. Brightside.” “I’m having fun. I always do, don’t I?” Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) told ESPN following his 15-minute workout at the open-air entertainment hub Boulevard City. “All these fight weeks I […]
