Another quadruple-header at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and another breathless day of action. It all began with Cabo Verde staving off Spain’s threat, and securing a historic goalless draw. Belgium and Egypt played out a stalemate (1-1) themselves, with Saudi Arabia and Uruguay reprising that score-line soon after. Iran and New Zealand then indulged in a breath-takingly wild World Cup game, although both had to settle for a 2-2 draw. Here is how all the madness unfolded: Iran versus New Zealand: A hundred miles per hour, everywhere and all the time Phew. What a game. Frenetic from the start, frantic through the middle and fittingly chaotic at the end. New Zealand and Iran traded punches like two heavyweight boxers and at no point did either contemplate settling for what they had. Both teams, having seen Belgium and Egypt battle to a draw, shed their inhibitions and gave it a proper rattle, which is what made this such a spectacle This was not a game for the tactical purists because, well, there were no out-of-the-box tactics involved. It was almost entirely fuelled by vibes. And by that desire to make a mark on the world stage. Neither was able to leave with three points. But anyone who watched this madcap game will now know not to miss any Iran and/or New Zealand fixtures. Did not expect Iran and New Zealand to play the most bonkers game of the tourney — Dennis Bakke (@dwbakke) June 16, 2026 Iran v New Zealand... Send it to extra time and penalties if need be.

And generations. Qualifying for the World Cup was, in itself, a monumental achievement for Cabo Verde. Most of their players have overcome severe hardship, and some of their journeys could actually make for good movies. So, you can imagine where this result will rank. Perhaps they have not even drawn up a tier for it yet. Everything will feel surreal. Because...it is. Cabo Verde defended against Spain like their lives depended on it. They put their bodies on the line. There were heroic blocks. There were terrific saves. And they suffocated Spain. Legend has it that Spain are still playing and still trying to score.

And that perfectly captures a tale of grit that those in the crowd might still be pinching themselves about, and those wearing that proud Cabo Verde jersey will reminisce for generations. And generations. And every time, it will be spine-tingling. The hair on the back of their necks will stand up. It will create a flutter in the stomach, and it will give this African island nation goosebumps. Forever and ever. Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese.

He gave Belgium a focal point, with his powerful and industrious run forcing an own goal. Lukaku then also missed a presentable chance to seal the deal, but that seems to be part of the Lukaku package. He was Belgium's break-glass-if-absolutely-necessary choice.

If you are an American sports fan, this might be a slightly alien concept. Games in the NBA, NFL and MLB are designed to produce a winner. No such thing in round-robin football. Or indeed at the FIFA World Cup. The tally of draws, after 16 matches, stands at eight. And four of those materialized across approximately eleven hours on Monday. Each was different, though. For example, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay scored, unlike Spain. Speaking of the Saudi Arabia-Uruguay game, it was probably one neither warranted losing. But it was also one neither did enough to win. It was a disjointed contest eventually decided by two indecisive goalkeeping moments. Which somehow almost always tends to be the case in such games. That aside, this felt like a missed opportunity, especially for Uruguay. But from a neutral perspective, it has left Group H wide open. Although given how day one of this group panned out, folks in North America might need to definitively begin wrapping their head around the concept of draws. And of teams being forced to share the spoils. At least until the knockouts roll in.

(Photo credit: Nathan Giese/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL's supplemental draft, the school announced on Monday, ending a growing legal drama surrounding his college eligibility. Sorsby had until June 22 to decide whether to apply for the supplemental draft, which the league opens for players who miss the filing deadline for the standard draft or have college eligibility issues crop up. Texas Tech board chairman Cody Campbell said in a statement on Monday, in part, 'This decision was made with Brendan and his family and is purely an output of practical analysis of the situation. Brendan and Texas Tech stand on very solid and legitimate legal ground, but he faces a June 22nd deadline to be eligible to enter the NFL's supplemental draft, and there is no practical way to resolve all the various pending legal disputes and ensure his eligibility prior to this date. 'This is the only viable and fair path for Brendan and his future, as well as for his teammates, and our university.' The supplemental draft appeared to be a likely option for Sorsby earlier this month -- until a judge in Lubbock County, Texas, granted him a temporary injunction against the NCAA regarding the governing body's decision to rescind his eligibility over sports betting violations. Texas Tech stood by Sorsby as he fought to regain his college eligibility, but in doing so the university angered its peers. The Big 12 Conference filed a complaint against Texas Tech and the Texas attorney general earlier Monday as it sought a ruling allowing it to enforce its own bylaws. The Big 12 asked the court to clarify that it has the authority to establish and administer its own eligibility rules. Separately, the NCAA filed a formal appeal in Lubbock County District Court with a request for expedited resolution in Sorsby's case, aiming to settle it before the 2026 college football season began. Sorsby's trial date had been set for February 2027. Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, told ESPN on Monday of Sorsby's lawsuit against the NCAA regarding the quarterback's eligibility, 'It is now moot, so we will withdraw it.' The 15 Big 12 athletic directors, excluding Texas Tech, met last week and unanimously expressed their opposition to Sorsby playing for the Red Raiders. Big 12 university presidents were scheduled to meet Monday to discuss potential sanctions. Sorsby was the source of an offseason firestorm after his legal team admitted the quarterback placed at least 40 bets on the Indiana football team while a member of the program in 2022 and 2023. In all, he wagered about $90,000 on college and professional sports over a four-year period. He entered an addiction treatment program on April 27. Texas Tech was prepared to have Sorsby play the entire regular season and any playoff games after he served a two-game suspension at the start of the campaign. The NFL's supplemental draft has not been conducted since 2023, as it's only held when a prospect chooses to enter. No player has been chosen as a supplemental draft pick since 2019. The supplemental draft is likely to be conducted in late July, with a precise date not set. The Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are among the QB-needy teams that may consider Sorsby, though first-year Browns coach Todd Monken said this month that considering Sorsby was 'a slippery slope' due to his history of gambling on sports. Sorsby threw for 5,613 yards, 45 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over the past two seasons at Cincinnati. He also ran for 1,027 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games. --Field Level Media

Title: Brendan Sorsby's potential NFL supplemental draft bidders identified

Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby is expected to enter his name into the upcoming NFL supplemental draft, according to a USA TODAY report. Sorsby, who had been considered a potential NFL draft first-round pick in 2027, played the past two seasons for the Bearcats after spending his first two seasons at Indiana University. Sorsby left UC for Texas Tech, which he chose over LSU. Sorsby placed at least 40 bets involving IU football while quarterback for the Hoosiers, used sportsbook accounts registered to a family member and friends to wager approximately $90,000 over four years and continued to gamble after transferring from UC to Texas Tech, according to ESPN. What is the NFL supplemental draft? The supplemental draft was created in 1977 for draft-eligible players who failed to declare for the regular NFL draft. The NFL doesn't hold a supplemental draft every year. The league only has a supplemental draft when players are eligible. Players declaring for the supplemental draft usually do so because of an issue involving college eligibility. NFL supplemental draft history includes Hall of Famer Cris Carter. No eligible player was selected in 2023. The last time a player was selected in a supplemental draft was in 2019, when the Arizona Cardinals picked safety Jalen Thompson. The Cleveland Browns selected receiver Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft in 2012; the Raiders selected Terrelle Pryor in 2011; the Philadelphia Eagles selected former Middletown High School standout Cris Carter in 1987. Carter is the only supplemental draft pick elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The last quarterback to be selected in an NFL supplemental draft was Ohio State's Pryor. The Raiders selected Pryor in the third round of that supplemental draft. Pryor had been dismissed from Ohio State because of NCAA violations related to the sale of memorabilia. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Pryor for five games as a condition of his eligibility, meaning Pryor couldn't practice or play with the Raiders until the team's sixth game of the 2011 regular season. How does the NFL supplemental draft work? Any NFL team selecting Sorsby, or anyone else, in a supplemental draft would forfeit a draft pick. The supplemental draft order is determined by a lottery system related to win-loss record from the previous season. The draft order is divided into three groups: Teams with six or fewer wins; other non-playoff teams; and the 14 playoff teams. A team expresses interest in drafting a player by bidding on that player in a certain round. If multiple teams submit bids in the same round, the team picking first in the draft order gets the player. The team loses its pick in the same round of the regular draft that it used in the supplemental draft. The NFL supplemental draft could be held in July. If there are eligible players, the draft would take place on or before the seventh day before the opening of the first training camp. That would place a supplemental draft sometime in early-to-mid July. Which NFL teams could bid on Sorsby in the supplemental draft? The Cincinnati Bengals were among the 10 teams to win six or fewer games last season, along with the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs. Browns head coach Todd Monken indicated June 2 that he wouldn't be inclined to select Sorsby in the NFL's supplemental draft, if Sorsby entered it. Of the 10 teams with six or fewer wins in 2025, the Jets appear to have the most open starting QB competition. Geno Smith, traded to the Jets during the 2026 NFL Draft, was 2-13 in 15 starts for the Raiders last season, with 19 touchdowns and a league-leading 17 interceptions.

However, before the USA versus Paraguay match, many of the activations and events surrounding the stadium were empty or lackluster. I should add, I arrived two hours before the match started. Then, when I got into SoFi, it seemed half-empty until maybe 15 minutes before the game started. I was worried we (as Americans) would look bad on TV with a half-empty stadium, but lo and behold, every seat was filled by game time. I'm sure this is an American experience — as I've seen some pretty wild tailgating videos from soccer games in other nations — but crowds seemed to arrive and get seated later than at NFL games. Which honestly...was amazing. Since I got to the stadium early, traffic wasn't horrible, and navigating the lines and security was pretty efficient given how long they were. If you're going to any World Cup games, I'd recommend going early.

Title: Travis Kelce Honors Taylor Swift With ‘Pretty Man’ Movie Poster at ‘New Heights’ Live Show in L.A.

Travis Kelce and brother Jason Kelce delivered an entertaining live show for fans of their podcast, “New Heights.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, and the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 38, hosted a live installment of their popular podcast at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. While Travis' fiancée, Taylor Swift, didn't make it in person to the event — she instead stayed back in New York City and was spotted arriving at Electric Lady Studios — the NFL star found a way to honor the pop star in his own special way. In the hours before the live show began, a parody movie poster of the 1990 rom-com Pretty Woman was displayed on stage, per footage circulating online. But instead of stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere being featured, it was Travis and Swift, with the title reading, Pretty Man. The inside joke spawns from a 2025 episode of "New Heights," where Travis joked he was living out a gender-swapped version of the beloved film by being with a "high-class" woman like Swift. (The movie follows a successful businessman who hires a Hollywood escort to be his companion for the week before the pair end up falling in love.) “That’s why me and Julia Roberts — when I met Julia — it felt like we were the same person. She spoke to me in this movie,” Travis joked at the time. “I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it — just an NFL hooker, man.” Despite being in the NFL offseason, the “New Heights” live event comes amid a busy time for Travis. Career-wise, he participated in a Chiefs mandatory minicamp in Kansas City, Missouri, from Tuesday, June 9, through Thursday, June 11, and released his and Jason’s book, No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers, on June 2. In his personal life, Travis has been enjoying downtime with his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with date nights in New York City and Cleveland in recent weeks. The couple are also counting down to their highly anticipated wedding. Although details are still under wraps, the nuptials are expected to take place before Travis begins Chiefs training camp in late July. In April, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Travis and Swift, 36, are working together to plan their big day. “They’re both involved and making decisions together,” a source told Us at the time, adding that the pair are “focused on actually enjoying the process rather than getting caught up in the pressure” as their wedding approaches. “They’re keeping things light.” According to the insider, the bride and groom “have both been very laid back” about the planning after making “a conscious decision not to let it cause any tension between them.” As for Travis’ desire to participate, the source added, “Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis cares about a lot of the details.” To keep the specifics private, Travis and Swift “aren’t even sure they will” mail hard-copy invitations to their guests. Regardless, “their closest friends and family know the venue and the date,” the insider noted, “even if nothing formal has been sent out.” Meanwhile, the duo’s families are “letting Taylor and Travis do their thing and aren’t getting too involved or giving too many opinions.” For his part, Jason has been vocal about his aspiration of standing beside his younger brother when Travis and Swift exchange vows. “Hopefully I’m the best man. We’ll see. Trav has a lot of friends,” he said on a September 2025 episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast. “I’m just hoping to get the opportunity.” Later that year, Jason addressed whether he was “prepared” to make a best man speech at Travis’ wedding. “Time will tell if there is one or anything like that,” he replied during a December 2025 appearance on Good Morning America. “I’ve been given no details on that front, but however I’m involved, I’ll be happy to be. I’m just happy for those two.”

But on a Monday evening in June, they took in their first Diamondbacks game, which happened to be against another L.A. team, the Angels. "These are my brothers," Jeremiyah Love said. "We train together. I see them every day. We're building relationships off the field and that's what it's all about." The Cardinals' first-round pick was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, a throw which had some zip on it. The aforementioned chemistry was apparent quickly after offensive tackle Jayden Williams threw his arms out to the side because Love did not throw from the mound. Williams joked that he wasn't sure if Love would have reached the plate from the pitchers rubber. Love said his throwing motion needed some work, although he did have experience with throwing out a first pitch -- he has done it for the baseball Cardinals in his hometown of St. Louis. "It was very poor," Love said with a smile. "A lot of people seen me throwing (were) cringing a little bit because I probably don't throw like a baseball player." Love, and the rest of his teammates, will stick to their day jobs and continue learning what life in the NFL is like. As the players walked onto the diamond, each were given a Diamondbacks jersey with their name and number on the back. From the moment third-round pick Carson Beck put on the jersey, it was as if he was taken back to his glory days as a do-it-all ball player. When he was a high school freshman, Beck began receiving offers to play baseball at the SEC level. Originally, Beck committed to Nick Saban and Alabama with the intention of playing both baseball and football. While football is his passion, there remains a love for America's Pastime. "I played baseball growing up and really is what I thought I was going to play and try to go pro," Beck said. "The path changed a little bit. I've always enjoyed football a little bit more, but my heart is always with baseball, so this is cool being here." But the part that meant the most to Beck was being at the game with his teammates. Before the rest of the rookie class goes on break before training camp, the D-Backs game is another chance to form those bonds. "It's good for the for the camaraderie of the team," Beck said. "We spend a lot of time with each other in the building, and that's super focused on football and you're still building chemistry that way, but this is an even better way to build chemistry outside of football where everybody can be themselves."

After winning his legal battle against the NCAA for reinstatement, Brendan Sorsby appears to be done with college football. The quarterback is planning on entering his name into the NFL's Supplemental Draft, two people close to the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports on June 15. HAYES: Brendan Sorsby drama ends, but not before tearing college football apart The news comes just over a week after a judge in Lubbock County ruled in favor of the Red Raiders quarterback in his lawsuit against the NCAA, which granted him a temporary injunction to become eligible to play this upcoming season after he was under investigation by the NCAA for a gambling addiction. REQUIRED READING: 8 dumbest quotes I've heard in Brendan Sorsby saga as Texas Tech rallies around QB "The NCAA strongly disagrees with the court's ruling in Sorsby's case and is deeply concerned about the damaging, far-reaching and broadly destabilizing ramifications of the outcome — which undermines and corrupts the integrity of sports," the NCAA wrote in a statement after the June 8 ruling by the Lubbock County judge. Sorsby, though reinstated to join the Red Raiders for the upcoming season, had until Monday, June 22 to decide whether he'd enter his name into the supplemental draft. He was set to be suspended for the first two games of Texas Tech's upcoming season against Abilene Christian and Oregon State as per the terms of the court ruling. Texas Tech and Sorsby have been at the center of a firestorm in college football since last week's ruling, as the ex-Indiana and Cincinnati quarterback violated the NCAA's gambling protocols by placing bets on college athletics and professional sports. In court documents filed by Sorsby's legal team to the NCAA on May 29, Sorsby placed more than 9,000 bets for a total of over $90,000. These bets were placed under accounts that were registered under the names of family members and friends. Within the last day, the Big 12 Conference filed a complaint in federal court seeking a declaratory judgment that would allow the league to enforce its bylaws and potentially sanction member Texas Tech should the school play Sorsby. The complaint comes after Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark has spoken out against Sorsby's reinstatement, as it presented "great concern" among conference members, and had held several meetings with conference members and stakeholders in recent days. "The ramifications of today's ruling are significant and could have broad impacts across college athletics, creating great concern amongst our membership," Yormark said in a statement on June 8. What did Brendan Sorsby do? In short, Sorsby violated the NCAA's gambling protocols and admitted to it. Sorsby placed "thousands" of online bets on a variety of sports via a gambling app — including ones involving Indiana games during his true freshman season as a Hoosier in 2022. He'd spent over $90,000 worth of bets in a four-year period that also included wagers on professional sports leagues. He had been under investigation by the NCAA, which also denied his request for reinstatement for the 2026 season on Tuesday, May 26. That led Sorsby to file a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking reinstatement on his own. In documents included with his injunction filing, Sorsby admitted to placing the bets during his freshman season at Indiana in 2022, which he mentioned he placed "as a way to feel more connected to the team, to root for my friends, and to feel like I had a real 'take' in the games that I otherwise was not involved in." Sorsby — who also included in the injunction that he was "clinically diagnosed" with a gambling disorder and that it was "a mental health condition" — completed a 35-day inpatient rehab program in Arizona for his gambling addiction. Cody Campbell releases letter on Brendan Sorsby In a letter-formatted statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday night, a prominent Texas Tech booster and Chairman of the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System, confirmed that Sorsby will not be a member of Texas Tech's football program this season. Campbell almost mentioned that Texas Tech "conducted thorough and appropriate background checks before signing" Sorsby and that "Texas Tech had absolutely no knowledge of any of his history of gambling activity until months after he arrived in Lubbock." He also pointed to "one important fact that has been broadly misunderstood" on the matter, which was that Texas Tech did not file the "at-issue lawsuit against the NCAA" seeking Sorsby's reinstatement and that Sorsby himself filed it and "paid for the full legal expenses of doing so." He'd go on to mention that "the bottom line is that Texas Tech did absolutely nothing but act with complete integrity through this entire process. We broke no rules, no laws, and crossed no ethical lines." Texas Tech statement on Brendan Sorsby Texas Tech issued a statement on Sorsby's departure on June 15, stating it will continue to support Sorsby's mental health as a "student and athlete," although he won't be part of the program. Brendan Sorsby statement Sorsby, for his part, also released a statement on the decision, thanking those around him. "I am grateful for the support from my family, my Tech coaching staff, teammates, the community, and so many others who have encouraged me to address and learn more about this important issue," Sorsby wrote in a post on Instagram. "As my journey continues, I remain fully committed to and focused on being the best I can be, both on and off the field." What is the NFL Supplemental Draft? The NFL supplemental draft provides an opportunity for players who planned to play college football but have since become ineligible a chance to apply for NFL membership. Here's what the NFL rulebook says about the supplemental draft, per CBS Sports: "If such player participates in spring football or other team-related activities at his school, or otherwise indicates that he intends to return to college to play football, he is not eligible for selection in the Principal Draft," the NFL rulebook reads. "If he subsequently fails to become eligible for participation in the following college football season, he may apply for a Supplemental Draft, if the League elects to schedule one." The supplemental draft is typically held in June or July – if the NFL schedules one. Players have to apply for eligibility for it and their applications are reviewed by the NFL on a case-by-case basis. Unlike the actual NFL draft, players are selected via an auction process. NFL teams place bids on players on a round-by-round basis using picks from next year's draft. The highest bidder is then awarded the player. Should a player not be selected, he is eligible to sign with an NFL club as a free agent. This story is developing.

Mali's al Qaeda branch offers 2 million euros for president's capture Trump and Iran confirm preliminary agreement on ending war 'Slave labor' building new $350m US consulate in Milan US will deport Iranians, other migrants to Central African Republic Reports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter supplemental draft (Photo credit: Nathan Giese/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL supplemental draft, multiple reports said Monday, which may put an end to a growing legal drama surrounding his college eligibility. Sorsby had until June 22 to decide whether to apply for the supplemental draft, which the league opens for players who miss the filing deadline for the standard draft or have college eligibility issues crop up. It is not clear, however, what Sorsby would do should no NFL team choose to take him. The supplemental draft appeared to be a likely option for Sorsby earlier this month -- until a judge in Lubbock County, Texas granted him a temporary injunction against the NCAA regarding the governing body's decision to rescind his eligibility over sports betting violations. Texas Tech stood by Sorsby as he fought to regain his college eligibility, but in doing so the university angered its peers. The Big 12 Conference filed a complaint against Texas Tech and the Texas attorney general earlier Monday as it sought a ruling allowing it to enforce its own bylaws. The Big 12 asked the court to clarify that it has the authority to establish and administer its own eligibility rules. Separately, the NCAA filed a formal appeal in Lubbock County District Court with a request for expedited resolution in Sorsby's case, aiming to settle it before the 2026 college football season began. Sorsby's trial date had been set for February 2027. The 15 Big 12 athletic directors, excluding Texas Tech, met last week and unanimously expressed their opposition to Sorsby playing for the Red Raiders. Big 12 university presidents were scheduled to meet Monday to discuss potential sanctions. Sorsby was the source of an offseason firestorm after his legal team admitted the quarterback placed at least 40 bets on the Indiana football team while a member of the program in 2022 and 2023. In all, he wagered about $90,000 on college and professional sports over a four-year period. He entered an addiction treatment program on April 27. Texas Tech was prepared to have Sorsby play the entire regular season and any playoff games after he served a two-game suspension at the start of the campaign. The NFL supplemental draft has not been conducted since 2023, as it's only held when a prospect chooses to enter. The supplemental draft is likely to be conducted in late July, with a precise date not set. The Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are among the QB-needy teams that may consider Sorsby, though first-year Browns head coach Todd Monken said this month that considering Sorsby was 'a slippery slope' due to his history of gambling on sports. Sorsby threw for 5,613 yards, 45 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over the past two seasons at Cincinnati. He also ran for 1,027 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games. --Field Level Media Reports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter supplemental draft Reports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter supplemental draft Field Level Media 16th June 2026, 11:40 GMT+11 (Photo credit: Nathan Giese/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL supplemental draft, multiple reports said Monday, which may put an end to a growing legal drama surrounding his college eligibility.

It all began with Cabo Verde staving off Spain’s threat, and securing a historic goalless draw. Belgium and Egypt played out a stalemate (1-1) themselves, with Saudi Arabia and Uruguay reprising that score-line soon after. Iran and New Zealand then indulged in a breath-takingly wild World Cup game, although both had to settle for a 2-2 draw.\nHere is how all the madness unfolded:\nIran versus New Zealand: A hundred miles per hour, everywhere and all the time\nPhew. What a game. Frenetic from the start, frantic through the middle and fittingly chaotic at the end. New Zealand and Iran traded punches like two heavyweight boxers and at no point did either contemplate settling for what they had. Both teams, having seen Belgium and Egypt battle to a draw, shed their inhibitions and gave it a proper rattle, which is what made this such a spectacle\nThis was not a game for the tactical purists because, well, there were no out-of-the-box tactics involved. It was almost entirely fuelled by vibes. And by that desire to make a mark on the world stage. Neither was able to leave with three points. But anyone who watched this madcap game will now know not to miss any Iran and/or New Zealand fixtures.\nDid not expect Iran and New Zealand to play the most bonkers game of the tourney\n— Dennis Bakke (@dwbakke) June 16, 2026\nIran v New Zealand... Send it to extra time and penalties if need be. This is the sort of cross-continental classic that makes the World Cup special.\n— Carl Anka (@Ankaman616) June 16, 2026\nAlso Read: FIFA World Cup 2026 points table standings: Brazil and Morocco open campaign with draw\nA story for generations. And generations. Qualifying for the World Cup was, in itself, a monumental achievement for Cabo Verde. Most of their players have overcome severe hardship, and some of their journeys could actually make for good movies.\nSo, you can imagine where this result will rank. Perhaps they have not even drawn up a tier for it yet. Everything will feel surreal. Because...it is.\nCabo Verde defended against Spain like their lives depended on it. They put their bodies on the line. There were heroic blocks. There were terrific saves. And they suffocated Spain. Legend has it that Spain are still playing and still trying to score.\nSpain trying to break Cabo Cabo Verde defense today #ESPvsCPV pic.twitter.com/TBwrFi9igk\n— DYNO Football (@dyno_events) June 15, 2026\nThat does not paint Spain a rosy picture, although chances are they will not face a team who show as much heart as Cabo Verde did on Monday. And that perfectly captures a tale of grit that those in the crowd might still be pinching themselves about, and those wearing that proud Cabo Verde jersey will reminisce for generations. And generations.\nAnd every time, it will be spine-tingling. The hair on the back of their necks will stand up. It will create a flutter in the stomach, and it will give this African island nation goosebumps. Forever and ever.\nCape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted.

But still, Belgium took a punt on their all-time scorer - a gamble they had to turn to just after the hour-mark against Egypt.\nAnd Lukaku did what he usually does: create chaos. He gave Belgium a focal point, with his powerful and industrious run forcing an own goal. Lukaku then also missed a presentable chance to seal the deal, but that seems to be part of the Lukaku package.\nHe was Belgium's break-glass-if-absolutely-necessary choice. In a needs-must type of situation. And Lukaku did enough. Just.\nHE WAS ON THE PITCH FOR LESS THAN 20 SECONDS 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/DgqascwkSH https://t.co/iXR0CISXlE\n— Nuel (@LfcNuel) June 15, 2026\nAlso Read: FIFA World Cup 2026 Golden Boot Race: USA's Balogun still in lead after six matches\nWait, can matches keep ending in a draw? If you are an American sports fan, this might be a slightly alien concept. Games in the NBA, NFL and MLB are designed to produce a winner. No such thing in round-robin football. Or indeed at the FIFA World Cup.\nThe tally of draws, after 16 matches, stands at eight. And four of those materialized across approximately eleven hours on Monday. Each was different, though. For example, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay scored, unlike Spain.\nSpeaking of the Saudi Arabia-Uruguay game, it was probably one neither warranted losing. But it was also one neither did enough to win. It was a disjointed contest eventually decided by two indecisive goalkeeping moments. Which somehow almost always tends to be the case in such games.\nThat aside, this felt like a missed opportunity, especially for Uruguay. But from a neutral perspective, it has left Group H wide open. Although given how day one of this group panned out, folks in North America might need to definitively begin wrapping their head around the concept of draws. And of teams being forced to share the spoils. At least until the knockouts roll in.","url":"https://www.firstpost.com/sports/football-news/fifa-world-cup-day-5-wrap-four-draws-iran-new-zealand-spain-cape-verde-14022925.html","image":"https://images.firstpost.com/uploads/2026/06/world-cup-day-5-2026-06-4d344a48a02ac2dbc3a41d6e0c491213-1200x675.jpg?im=FitAndFill=(1200,675)","video":null,"publish_date":"2026-06-16 05:34:07","author":"Shashwat Kumar","authors":["Shashwat Kumar"],"language":"en","source_country":"in","sentiment":-0.061,"sourceName":"Firstpost"},{"id":441872282,"title":"Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter NFL's supplemental draft","text":"(Photo credit: Nathan Giese/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images)\n\nTexas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL's supplemental draft, the school announced on Monday, ending a growing legal drama surrounding his college eligibility.\n\nSorsby had until June 22 to decide whether to apply for the supplemental draft, which the league opens for players who miss the filing deadline for the standard draft or have college eligibility issues crop up.\n\nTexas Tech board chairman Cody Campbell said in a statement on Monday, in part, 'This decision was made with Brendan and his family and is purely an output of practical analysis of the situation.

Sorsby left UC for Texas Tech, which he chose over LSU.\n\nSorsby placed at least 40 bets involving IU football while quarterback for the Hoosiers, used sportsbook accounts registered to a family member and friends to wager approximately $90,000 over four years and continued to gamble after transferring from UC to Texas Tech, according to ESPN.\n\nWhat is the NFL supplemental draft?\n\nThe supplemental draft was created in 1977 for draft-eligible players who failed to declare for the regular NFL draft.\n\nThe NFL doesn't hold a supplemental draft every year.\n\nThe league only has a supplemental draft when players are eligible. Players declaring for the supplemental draft usually do so because of an issue involving college eligibility.\n\nNFL supplemental draft history includes Hall of Famer Cris Carter.\n\nNo eligible player was selected in 2023.\n\nThe last time a player was selected in a supplemental draft was in 2019, when the Arizona Cardinals picked safety Jalen Thompson.\n\nThe Cleveland Browns selected receiver Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft in 2012; the Raiders selected Terrelle Pryor in 2011; the Philadelphia Eagles selected former Middletown High School standout Cris Carter in 1987.\n\nCarter is the only supplemental draft pick elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.\n\nThe last quarterback to be selected in an NFL supplemental draft was Ohio State's Pryor. The Raiders selected Pryor in the third round of that supplemental draft.\n\nPryor had been dismissed from Ohio State because of NCAA violations related to the sale of memorabilia.\n\nCommissioner Roger Goodell suspended Pryor for five games as a condition of his eligibility, meaning Pryor couldn't practice or play with the Raiders until the team's sixth game of the 2011 regular season.\n\nHow does the NFL supplemental draft work?\n\nAny NFL team selecting Sorsby, or anyone else, in a supplemental draft would forfeit a draft pick.\n\nThe supplemental draft order is determined by a lottery system related to win-loss record from the previous season.\n\nThe draft order is divided into three groups: Teams with six or fewer wins; other non-playoff teams; and the 14 playoff teams.\n\nA team expresses interest in drafting a player by bidding on that player in a certain round.\n\nIf multiple teams submit bids in the same round, the team picking first in the draft order gets the player.\n\nThe team loses its pick in the same round of the regular draft that it used in the supplemental draft.\n\nThe NFL supplemental draft could be held in July.\n\nIf there are eligible players, the draft would take place on or before the seventh day before the opening of the first training camp.\n\nThat would place a supplemental draft sometime in early-to-mid July.\n\nWhich NFL teams could bid on Sorsby in the supplemental draft?\n\nThe Cincinnati Bengals were among the 10 teams to win six or fewer games last season, along with the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs.\n\nBrowns head coach Todd Monken indicated June 2 that he wouldn't be inclined to select Sorsby in the NFL's supplemental draft, if Sorsby entered it.\n\nOf the 10 teams with six or fewer wins in 2025, the Jets appear to have the most open starting QB competition.\n\nGeno Smith, traded to the Jets during the 2026 NFL Draft, was 2-13 in 15 starts for the Raiders last season, with 19 touchdowns and a league-leading 17 interceptions.","url":"https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/othercolleges/2026/06/16/brendan-sorsby-nfl-supplemental-draft-potential-bidders-jets-saints/90568082007","image":"https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2025/10/26/PCIN/86908332007-baylor-bears-at-cincinnati-bearcats-52660.jpg?auto=webp&crop=3199,1801,x0,y166&format=pjpg&width=1200","video":null,"publish_date":"2026-06-16 04:43:33","author":"The Enquirer","authors":["The Enquirer"],"language":"en","source_country":"us","sentiment":0.224,"sourceName":"Cincinnati"},{"id":441864220,"title":"Firsthand Experience At The 2026 World Cup","text":"However, before the USA versus Paraguay match, many of the activations and events surrounding the stadium were empty or lackluster.

I was worried we (as Americans) would look bad on TV with a half-empty stadium, but lo and behold, every seat was filled by game time. I'm sure this is an American experience — as I've seen some pretty wild tailgating videos from soccer games in other nations — but crowds seemed to arrive and get seated later than at NFL games.

In the hours before the live show began, a parody movie poster of the 1990 rom-com Pretty Woman was displayed on stage, per footage circulating online. But instead of stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere being featured, it was Travis and Swift, with the title reading, Pretty Man.\nThe inside joke spawns from a 2025 episode of \"New Heights,\" where Travis joked he was living out a gender-swapped version of the beloved film by being with a \"high-class\" woman like Swift. (The movie follows a successful businessman who hires a Hollywood escort to be his companion for the week before the pair end up falling in love.)\n“That’s why me and Julia Roberts — when I met Julia — it felt like we were the same person. She spoke to me in this movie,” Travis joked at the time. “I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it — just an NFL hooker, man.”\nDespite being in the NFL offseason, the “New Heights” live event comes amid a busy time for Travis. Career-wise, he participated in a Chiefs mandatory minicamp in Kansas City, Missouri, from Tuesday, June 9, through Thursday, June 11, and released his and Jason’s book, No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers, on June 2.\nIn his personal life, Travis has been enjoying downtime with his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with date nights in New York City and Cleveland in recent weeks. The couple are also counting down to their highly anticipated wedding. Although details are still under wraps, the nuptials are expected to take place before Travis begins Chiefs training camp in late July.\nIn April, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Travis and Swift, 36, are working together to plan their big day.\n“They’re both involved and making decisions together,” a source told Us at the time, adding that the pair are “focused on actually enjoying the process rather than getting caught up in the pressure” as their wedding approaches. “They’re keeping things light.”\nAccording to the insider, the bride and groom “have both been very laid back” about the planning after making “a conscious decision not to let it cause any tension between them.”\nAs for Travis’ desire to participate, the source added, “Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis cares about a lot of the details.”\nTo keep the specifics private, Travis and Swift “aren’t even sure they will” mail hard-copy invitations to their guests. Regardless, “their closest friends and family know the venue and the date,” the insider noted, “even if nothing formal has been sent out.”\nMeanwhile, the duo’s families are “letting Taylor and Travis do their thing and aren’t getting too involved or giving too many opinions.”\nFor his part, Jason has been vocal about his aspiration of standing beside his younger brother when Travis and Swift exchange vows.\n“Hopefully I’m the best man. We’ll see. Trav has a lot of friends,” he said on a September 2025 episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast. “I’m just hoping to get the opportunity.”\nLater that year, Jason addressed whether he was “prepared” to make a best man speech at Travis’ wedding.\n“Time will tell if there is one or anything like that,” he replied during a December 2025 appearance on Good Morning America. “I’ve been given no details on that front, but however I’m involved, I’ll be happy to be. I’m just happy for those two.”","url":"https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/travis-kelce-honors-taylor-swift-at-live-l-a-podcast-show","image":"https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GettyImages-2277907006.jpg?crop=0px%2C39px%2C1998px%2C1051px&resize=1200%2C630&quality=86&strip=all","video":null,"publish_date":"2026-06-16 03:18:49","author":"Erin Crabtree,Kat Pettibone","authors":["Erin Crabtree","Kat Pettibone"],"language":"en","category":"entertainment","source_country":"us","sentiment":0.347,"sourceName":"Usmagazine"},{"id":441856522,"title":"(SP)U.S.-KANSAS CITY-FOOTBALL-FIFA WORLD CUP-PRESS CONFERENCE-ARGENTINA","text":"Latin America\n\n International\n\n Search News\n\n Tue, 16 June 2026\n\n «Back to Home\n\n (SP)U.S.-KANSAS CITY-FOOTBALL-FIFA WORLD CUP-PRESS CONFERENCE-ARGENTINA\n\n 16 Jun 2026, 08:46 GMT+\n\n (260616) -- KANSAS CITY, June 16, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Nicolas Otamendi (R) of Argentina attends a press conference at Kansas City Stadium in Kansas City, the United States, on June 15, 2026.

He was set to be suspended for the first two games of Texas Tech's upcoming season against Abilene Christian and Oregon State as per the terms of the court ruling.\n\nTexas Tech and Sorsby have been at the center of a firestorm in college football since last week's ruling, as the ex-Indiana and Cincinnati quarterback violated the NCAA's gambling protocols by placing bets on college athletics and professional sports. In court documents filed by Sorsby's legal team to the NCAA on May 29, Sorsby placed more than 9,000 bets for a total of over $90,000. These bets were placed under accounts that were registered under the names of family members and friends.\n\nWithin the last day, the Big 12 Conference filed a complaint in federal court seeking a declaratory judgment that would allow the league to enforce its bylaws and potentially sanction member Texas Tech should the school play Sorsby. The complaint comes after Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark has spoken out against Sorsby's reinstatement, as it presented \"great concern\" among conference members, and had held several meetings with conference members and stakeholders in recent days.\n\n\"The ramifications of today's ruling are significant and could have broad impacts across college athletics, creating great concern amongst our membership,\" Yormark said in a statement on June 8.\n\nWhat did Brendan Sorsby do?\n\nIn short, Sorsby violated the NCAA's gambling protocols and admitted to it.\n\nSorsby placed \"thousands\" of online bets on a variety of sports via a gambling app — including ones involving Indiana games during his true freshman season as a Hoosier in 2022. He'd spent over $90,000 worth of bets in a four-year period that also included wagers on professional sports leagues.\n\nHe had been under investigation by the NCAA, which also denied his request for reinstatement for the 2026 season on Tuesday, May 26. That led Sorsby to file a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking reinstatement on his own. In documents included with his injunction filing, Sorsby admitted to placing the bets during his freshman season at Indiana in 2022, which he mentioned he placed \"as a way to feel more connected to the team, to root for my friends, and to feel like I had a real 'take' in the games that I otherwise was not involved in.\"\n\nSorsby — who also included in the injunction that he was \"clinically diagnosed\" with a gambling disorder and that it was \"a mental health condition\" — completed a 35-day inpatient rehab program in Arizona for his gambling addiction.\n\nCody Campbell releases letter on Brendan Sorsby\n\nIn a letter-formatted statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday night, a prominent Texas Tech booster and Chairman of the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System, confirmed that Sorsby will not be a member of Texas Tech's football program this season.\n\nCampbell almost mentioned that Texas Tech \"conducted thorough and appropriate background checks before signing\" Sorsby and that \"Texas Tech had absolutely no knowledge of any of his history of gambling activity until months after he arrived in Lubbock.\"\n\nHe also pointed to \"one important fact that has been broadly misunderstood\" on the matter, which was that Texas Tech did not file the \"at-issue lawsuit against the NCAA\" seeking Sorsby's reinstatement and that Sorsby himself filed it and \"paid for the full legal expenses of doing so.\" He'd go on to mention that \"the bottom line is that Texas Tech did absolutely nothing but act with complete integrity through this entire process. We broke no rules, no laws, and crossed no ethical lines.\"\n\nTexas Tech statement on Brendan Sorsby\n\nTexas Tech issued a statement on Sorsby's departure on June 15, stating it will continue to support Sorsby's mental health as a \"student and athlete,\" although he won't be part of the program.\n\nBrendan Sorsby statement\n\nSorsby, for his part, also released a statement on the decision, thanking those around him. \"I am grateful for the support from my family, my Tech coaching staff, teammates, the community, and so many others who have encouraged me to address and learn more about this important issue,\" Sorsby wrote in a post on Instagram. \"As my journey continues, I remain fully committed to and focused on being the best I can be, both on and off the field.\"\n\nWhat is the NFL Supplemental Draft?\n\nThe NFL supplemental draft provides an opportunity for players who planned to play college football but have since become ineligible a chance to apply for NFL membership.\n\nHere's what the NFL rulebook says about the supplemental draft, per CBS Sports:\n\n\"If such player participates in spring football or other team-related activities at his school, or otherwise indicates that he intends to return to college to play football, he is not eligible for selection in the Principal Draft,\" the NFL rulebook reads. \"If he subsequently fails to become eligible for participation in the following college football season, he may apply for a Supplemental Draft, if the League elects to schedule one.\"\n\nThe supplemental draft is typically held in June or July – if the NFL schedules one. Players have to apply for eligibility for it and their applications are reviewed by the NFL on a case-by-case basis.\n\nUnlike the actual NFL draft, players are selected via an auction process. NFL teams place bids on players on a round-by-round basis using picks from next year's draft. The highest bidder is then awarded the player. Should a player not be selected, he is eligible to sign with an NFL club as a free agent.\n\nThis story is developing.","url":"https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2026/06/15/brendan-sorsby-nfl-supplemental-draft-texas-tech-football/90566755007","image":"https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2026/06/08/USAT/90463323007-usatsi-28753263.jpg?auto=webp&crop=2047,1152,x0,y0&format=pjpg&width=1200","video":null,"publish_date":"2026-06-16 00:46:44","author":"The Enquirer","authors":["The Enquirer"],"language":"en","source_country":"us","sentiment":0.211,"sourceName":"Cincinnati"},{"id":441844172,"title":"Reports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter supplemental draft","text":"Mali's al Qaeda branch offers 2 million euros for president's capture\n\n Trump and Iran confirm preliminary agreement on ending war\n\n 'Slave labor' building new $350m US consulate in Milan\n\n US will deport Iranians, other migrants to Central African Republic\n\n Reports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to enter supplemental draft\n\n (Photo credit: Nathan Giese/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images)\n Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL supplemental draft, multiple reports said Monday, which may put an end to a growing legal drama surrounding his college eligibility.\n Sorsby had until June 22 to decide whether to apply for the supplemental draft, which the league opens for players who miss the filing deadline for the standard draft or have college eligibility issues crop up.\n It is not clear, however, what Sorsby would do should no NFL team choose to take him.\n The supplemental draft appeared to be a likely option for Sorsby earlier this month -- until a judge in Lubbock County, Texas granted him a temporary injunction against the NCAA regarding the governing body's decision to rescind his eligibility over sports betting violations.\n Texas Tech stood by Sorsby as he fought to regain his college eligibility, but in doing so the university angered its peers.
