Reigning World Cup champion Argentina is back in action at AT&T Stadium on Monday when Lionel Messi leads his troops back into battle against Austria.

If the Boston Celtics head into draft day with their eyes on landing a point guard to fill a genuine need within the rotation, Bennett Stirtz could be their guy. The Iowa Hawkeyes guard is entering the NBA following two impressive seasons in the collegiate ranks. This past season, Stirtz put up 19.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 35.8 percent from 3-point range and 47.7 percent from deep.
Stirtz is a reliable shot creator, playmaker and scoring threat. He can run the pick-and-roll, operate off the ball, and play as a connector within the seams.

Real Madrid are close to signing promising Swedish player Felicia Schroder.

Real Madrid Women are close to pulling off a strategic move with enormous impact on the international market. According to journalist Daniel Kristoffersson, the Madrid side are in very advanced talks to sign Felicia Schröder, the 19-year-old Swedish forward who plays for BK Häcken and is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the world.

Trading Jaylen Brown isn’t the only way the Boston Celtics can acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo. Brad Stevens could match salaries by parting with a string of players, headlined by Derrick White and Sam Hauser, if they wanted to create a new big three with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
On paper, adding Giannis to a core including Brown and Tatum would be the ideal result. The Celtics would have three top-20 players on the roster, and would have one of the best trios in league history.

Ex-Red Sox Star Rafael Devers Shows Immaturity In Embarrassing Moment, Refuses To Leave Giants Game originally appeared on NESN.

Former Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers has had a largely disappointing first full season with the San Francisco Giants.
It was reported in April that Devers was avoiding the media and now, with a career-worst .238 batting average through 77 games, the Giants trading the first baseman/designated hitter just one year after acquiring him from the Red Sox could be “a possibility.

The 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills delivered drama, as Wyndham Clark emerged with the trophy — his second major title and second U.S. Open — but not without a Sunday that teetered on the brink of collapse.
For three days, Clark looked untouchable, building a commanding six-shot lead that suggested a procession. By late Sunday afternoon, that confidence waned. Shot by shot, his margin evaporated, tension thickened and what once felt inevitable suddenly felt fragile.

West Ham United have signed Switzerland defender Nadine Riesen following her departure from Eintracht Frankfurt.
She has signed a three-year deal after making 69 appearances for the German club in the Frauen-Bundesliga between 2023 and 2026.
The versatile 26-year-old full-back has experience of playing in the Women’s Champions League (WCL) and has 42 caps for her country.
She becomes West Ham manager Rita Guarino’s fourth signing this summer after the arrivals of Katie Zelem, Constance Picaud and Laia Codina.

The Dallas Mavericks were finally able to escape the Luka Doncic trade fallout thanks to No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, who put together a marvelous Rookie of the Year-winning season in 2025-26.
The Duke product was the clear top prospect heading into the draft, but plenty of question marks followed him. Some teams found the missing pieces to their young cores while others struck out with high picks. Thus is the crapshoot of evaluating young, unproven players.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be traded before the start of the NBA draft Tuesday, with the Celtics and Heat emerging as finalists to land the Bucks superstar, sources told ESPN.

Journalist: European giants still targeting Liverpool star
Liverpool face Mac Allister dilemma as Real Madrid interest grows

Liverpool may soon find themselves confronting a decision few supporters would have anticipated when Alexis Mac Allister arrived at Anfield three years ago. The Argentine midfielder remains one of the most technically gifted players in Arne Slot’s squad, yet reports emerging from Football Insider suggest Real Madrid are closely monitoring his situation ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Erik Weihenmayer is the first blind person to climb the tallest peak on every continent. For him, summiting is not the most thrilling part of climbing. The real excitement lies in the movement, in the process, in each hold and step along the way. Born in a small Norwegian town, Erik was diagnosed at four or five years old with retinoschisis, a rare disease that attacked and unraveled his retinas. When he finally went blind, he felt a strange relief. The worst had already happened, and there was nothing else to lose.
