England arrived at their permanent World Cup base in Kansas City on Saturday and immediately got down to business.
Shortly after dropping their bags off at the Inn at Meadowbrook Hotel in Prairie Village, where the team will stay for the duration of their stay in the United States, they made the 20-minute trip to their training centre at Swope Soccer Village for their first session since arriving in Missouri.
The locals welcomed Thomas Tuchel’s men into their community with open arms but also with a high security, the team escorted by a motorcade of protection.

England had $18,000 (£13,500) of property stolen in a theft from a vehicle that was carrying equipment, according to Jackson County’s prosecution office.
Two men, Mustafa Salik and Erfan Kamal, have been charged in connection with the incident, which happened as the vehicle was taking equipment from England’s pre-tournament camp in Florida to Kansas City.

There’s no city like New York City. And to New York City, there’s no team quite like the Knicks.
So when a city that’s been on the verge of and over the edge of eruption in anticipation of the franchise’s first NBA championship in 53 years, New York produced scenes like nowhere else can when the Knicks got the job done Saturday night.
New Yorkers packed watch parties across the five boroughs as the Knicks played the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
They watched in the streets as strangers handed out pizzas.

NEW YORK (AP) — It was bedlam on Broadway as the New York Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years on Saturday night, with exuberant celebrations marred by mayhem and violence.
Outside Madison Square Garden, a crowd watching on a big screen roared as the Knicks rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat the Spurs in San Antonio in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Soon after, rowdy fans were clashing with police, smashing windows on a police car, climbing scaffolding, light poles and a statue, standing atop school buses in Times Square and trying to hitch a ride on a moving fire truck.

Swansea City’s Cameron Burgess helped Australia begin their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Turkey in Vancouver.

Dylan Harper is a 20-year-old rookie, but he did not look like that during the NBA Playoffs. He stepped up and became arguably the San Antonio Spurs‘ second-best player at times behind Victor Wembanyama.
It was a magical run for both Harper and the Spurs as they reached the NBA Finals in their first postseason as a core group.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Tartan Army invaded Boston Stadium in the hopes of seeing Scotland earn its first World Cup win since 1990.
The Scottish supporters were not disappointed. Scotland beat Haiti in a tightly contested 1-0 match while establishing that the country will have a manufactured home-field advantage as long as it remains in the 2026 World Cup.
Scotland fans have made their presence in the Boston area known during the early stages of the World Cup. From playing bagpipes at 6:30 a.m.

Scotland fans are no strangers to pondering permutations. But the stakes are much, much higher at a World Cup finals.
What would a point here mean? What if we lose that one? Might our rivals drop points elsewhere?
The conversations will already have started, in that most Scottish of ways. Win your first World Cup game in 36 years, immediately think you’ll probably lose the next two, and wonder if you’re out or not already.
That’s the spirit.
After the opening round of matches, Scotland sit top of Group C, Brazil and Morocco trailing in their wake.

A technical malfunction caused confusion among TV viewers during the World Cup match between Switzerland and Qatar after an onside graphic could not be produced before a penalty awarded to Switzerland.

History will be made as Germany and Curacao meet on the third day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Houston.
Germany is no stranger to the World Cup stage, having won four times already in the nation’s history. The Germans haven’t experienced that glory since 2014 though, and actually suffered underwhelming group stage exits in both 2018 and 2022.

Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz credited India head coach Gautam Gambhir for helping him refine his batting approach after producing a stunning century against the hosts in the opening ODI at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Saturday.
Gurbaz was the standout performer in Afghanistan’s innings, blasting 102 off just 51 deliveries. His explosive knock featured eight fours and eight sixes and marked his ninth ODI century. However, despite his heroics, Afghanistan were bowled out for 194 in 24.5 overs as no other batter managed to make a significant contribution.

John McGinn’s first-half goal sealed victory for Scotland in their World Cup opener in Boston – their first victory in the tournament since 1990.
BBC Sport Scotland’s Andy Burke assessed how the players performed – and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.
Scotland starting XI
Angus Gunn – Very fortunate not to concede after spilling a fairly routine shot. Otherwise, Haiti’s erratic finishing meant he was not overly tested.

Scotland’s John McGinn says his “scuffed” goal which downed Haiti in their World Cup opener left him “beaming with pride” – and he hopes kids around the country wake up feeling exactly the same way.
The Aston Villa midfielder’s deflected effort in the first half gave Scotland their first World Cup win since 1990 at their first finals since 1998.
They sit top of Group C as they aim to reach the knockout stages for the first time ever, despite a nervy second half during which Haiti threatened to equalise.

The biggest World Cup ever has arrived, with 104 games set to take place over the next five weeks, as the US, Canada and Mexico host football’s most-prestigious competition.
Fans in the UK will naturally be keen to follow England and Scotland’s progress at the tournament, but every single game in the competition will be available to watch on free-to-air TV for UK viewers – meaning you can watch more than just the Three Lions’ and Tartan Army’s endeavours.

The late Aldon Smith spent most of his career with the 49ers. His second NFL team, the Raiders, has issued a statement mourning Smith’s passing.
“The Raiders Family is deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Aldon Smith, who passed away at the age of 36,” the Raiders said. “Aldon played nine games for the Raiders in 2015 as part of a career in which he posted a remarkable 52.5 sacks in six active seasons. Aldon proudly wore the Silver and Black, was respected by his teammates and will be missed dearly.

John McGinn was ecstatic to have delivered a World Cup win for Scotland to a generation of fans who have only experienced hurt at major tournaments.
McGinn scored the all-important goal as Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their first World Cup game since 1998, seeing his shot deflect past goalkeeper Johny Placide to break the deadlock in the first half.
Having failed to win at two Euros appearances in the past five years, this was Scotland’s first victory at a major competition in three decades, and McGinn could not hide his joy at seeing youngsters now proud to wear the country’s colours.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jalen Brunson was fully aware of how much money some people spent to see the New York Knicks finally become champions again. Some tickets during the NBA Finals sold for $5,000, some for $50,000, some for probably more.
Of course, Brunson parted with more money than any of those fans.

The New York Knicks have won the National Basketball Association championship for the first time in over 50 years.
The Knicks clinched the title against the San Antonio Spurs, 94-90, in the fifth game of the best-of-seven series.
While the game was in Texas, New Yorkers took to their hometown streets in droves to watch and celebrate the milestone moment for the team, its fans and the entire city.
