Seiya Suzuki’s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday night lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 win over the visiting San Diego Padres.
Dansby Swanson started the winning rally with an infield single against Jason Adam (2-2).
Trent Thornton (3-2) worked around a one-out infield hit by Fernando Tatis Jr. in the ninth as Chicago prevailed for the seventh time in eight games. It was the third straight defeat for San Diego.
Neither starter was involved in the decision. San Diego’s Griffin Canning yielded two runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out three. Chicago’s Shota Imanaga scattered nine hits in his 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs with no walks and four strikeouts.

In the closing metres, however, the Netherlands’ Van Vliet edged into silver, leaving the Irish sculler with bronze and Ireland’s first podium finish of the regatta.
For the third straight World Cup, Germany have not made it to the round of 16. They lost 4-3 on penalties to Paraguay in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup, after the game finished 1-1 following extra time. Kai Havertz, Nick Woltemade and Jonathan Tah missed penalties in the shootout, and even Manuel Neuer’s heroics weren’t enough to save Germany this time.
“Yes, it seems so for sure,” Havertz said after the loss, when asked if Germany had become a second-tier team.
It was Germany’s first ever loss on penalties at a World Cup. Germany had won all four previous shootouts. They have now not won a knockout game at a World Cup since 2014, when they went on to win the tournament. The defeat has been met by shock in much of the national media, with many frustrated that Germany suffered defeat at the hands of a “limited opponent.”
Who is to blame for Germany’s exit?
The reasons for Germany’s exit are varied.
Firstly, key players did not deliver on the field. Captain Joshua Kimmich underwhelmed. Florian Wirtz appeared to carry his poor club form into the World Cup. Jamal Musiala looked like a player desperately trying to get back into gear after a lengthy injury. It was far too disappointing stuff from far too many players who needed to deliver to keep the group together.
Advertisement
Collectively, Germany were shaky in defense, and lacked penetration and decisiveness in attack. They did not go a game at this tournament without conceding, and other than against Curacao, failed to transfer promising passages into convincing results.
Injuries certainly didn’t help. Losing Serge Gnabry before the tournament was a blow. To then see Lennart Karl suffer a major injury in Chicago, just days before the tournament began, really stopped Germany in their tracks, as the Bayern teenager looked set to shine down the right-hand side. Nico Schlotterbeck being ruled out for months during the first half of the Ivory Coast game was perhaps the biggest loss of all, though. The Borussia Dortmund defender was an integral part of Germany’s play, particularly in the build-up, which coach Julian Nagelsmann said was “too slow” against Paraguay.
Then there’s Nagelsmann himself. His decision to recall 40-year-old Manuel Neuer did not prove, despite a save in the shootout against Paraguay, to be the factor he made it out to be. His substitutions suggested a coach still searching for his best 11. Against Ecuador, with the group already won, his changes left Germany disjointed and wiped away any hope of maintaining their momentum into the knockouts. Even though this Germany team were not contenders, it would also be fair to say that Nagelsmann appeared to struggle to get the best out of this group.

Did anything go right for Germany at this World Cup?
There were some bright moments. Deniz Undav’s performances off the bench were some of the most magical moments, particularly his last-minute winner against Ivory Coast in Toronto.
Coaching wise, Nagelsmann used the hydration break in Houston to turn the tide, and made the right changes in Toronto to bring Germany back into the game. Also, the facilities Germany used at Wake Forest University were top notch and certainly did not contribute to the team’s early exit.
Will Nagelsmann get sacked?
Whether Nagelsmann has a future in his current post is, of course, the pressing question. The performance on the field suggests he’s on thin ice, but recent history suggests that he might well retain his job for Euro 2028. After all, both Hansi Flick and Joachim Löw stayed longer than many expected.
“I’m here to work and if the DFB [German Football Association] decide otherwise then they should tell me,” Nagelsmann said after the defeat. “I’m not the type of person who runs away.”

If the DFB decide to retain Nagelsmann, he will have a lot of goodwill to earn back. This performance will not have endeared him to Germany fans, especially after his communication troubles around Undav, Kimmich, Neuer and the roles assigned to player.
If they decide to move on, it will prove costly for them because of the contract extension they agreed with Nagelsmann in January 2025. For an association that has only just started to recover from the financial impact of two consecutive World Cup exits, another disappointment on the field combined with another head coach sacking would make balancing the numbers at the end of the year a bit more difficult.

Who could be the next Germany head coach?
If he is replaced, Jürgen Klopp has been touted as the favorite to take over. The former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool head coach, who has been working with Red Bull since early 2025, was quick to shut down any talk of such a move, though.
“I understand that my name is being mentioned, but this is not the moment to talk about it – and especially not with me,” Klopp said afterwards.
Earlier in the tournament, Klopp caused a stir while working as a pundit for MagentaTV, saying: “Luckily, it’s Julian Nagelsmann who’s picking the team,” before adding: “For now.”

Those two wordshung over Nagelsmann, and even though Klopp apologized, many feel the 59-year-old is waiting in the wings for the job.

Will any players retire?
It seems likely that many of this playing group will move on. At 40, Neuer’s return was only ever going to be for this tournament. Following Monday’s match he confirmed to German public broadcaster ARD that this had been his last with the national team. Sadly, at 36, it is unlikely that Oliver Baumann, the man who looked set to be Germany’s number one at the tournament, will ever play for his country again.
Captain Joshua Kimmich (31) has endured a torrid time in his international career, and while one might think that a Euros aged 33 would just a bridge too far, he appeared to rule out cutting it short.
“I will always have the energy for a fresh start,” he told reporters. “What I will never do is give up!”
Antonio Rüdiger (33), Leon Goretzka (31), Leroy Sane (30), and Pascal Gross (35) will likely not be back.

Germany’s next game is against the Netherlands in the Nations League at the end of September. With it comes the start of Germany’s next new era.
Cincinnati Reds center fielder Dane Myers needed to be carted off the field after a play that could be a candidate for “Catch of the Year” turned scary after he crashed into the fence in Milwaukee on Monday night.
Milwaukee Brewers veteran Andrew Vaughn smashed a ball to center field in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Myers got a great jump as he started to track the ball.
As he sprinted toward the gap, Myers reached up and made an acrobatic catch, but he lost his balance and was too close to the wall when he collided with the fence at top speed. It was a miracle he even held on to the ball considering the collision, but it clearly took a toll.

Myers, writhing in pain on the warning track, was bent over when his fellow outfielders came over to tend to him, while Reds training staff started the sprint out onto the field.
Myers was holding his right shoulder, though his collision was head-on with the fence. Trainers looked at Myers for some time, as the crowd was hushed in hopes he would walk away from this somehow.
Eventually, a cart came out and Myers rose to his feet with some assistance as the crowd gave him a round of applause for sacrificing his body for his team. TJ Friedl ended up taking his spot in center field.
Myers was taken to a local hospital in Milwaukee for further testing, and it was a good sign that initial X-rays came back negative, according to manager Terry Francona following the Reds’ 5-3 loss to the Brewers. Francona wouldn’t go into specifics on what ailment Myers may be dealing with.
Myers, a 30-year-old Columbus, Texas, native, is in his first season with the Reds, where he serves as a bench outfielder.

He has played in 63 games this season, owning a .256/.358/.385 slash line with a .742 OPS, three homers and 14 RBI across 117 at-bats.

Prior to his time in Cincinnati, Myers made his big league debut with the Miami Marlins in 2023, playing 22 games that year and hitting .269 over 67 at-bats. He spent the next two seasons with the Marlins, though his longest tenure in MLB came in 2025 when he played 106 games and hit .235/.291/.326 with six home runs and 31 RBI with Miami.
Unfortunately for the Reds, they were unable to get the win for Myers in the end. Joey Ortiz’s two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning broke the 3-3 tie at the time in this NL Central bout, which capped a comeback that also saw Brice Turang, who starred for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic, smash a solo home run to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh.

Enzo Maresca is better equipped to deal with a recurring Manchester City issue than Pep Guardiola was last year
A few weeks ago there were questions over what Manchester City could do with Rodri. A contract offer has gone unanswered and the Spain midfielder was ignoring all talk of his future until after the World Cup as his deal ticks into its final year.
It continues what has been an incredibly frustrating two years for the club and the player since he suffered that ACL injury. After a string of comebacks couldn’t keep him fit, Rodri finally found some rhythm in the first half of this year only to fall down again at a critical point of the season.
City want to be able to rely on Rodri, but it is difficult to. And when you cannot turn to a Ballon d’Or winner, there need to be alternatives for such a crucial position.
Pep Guardiola did not last summer, hence why he arrived in Sicily in August for the club’s only pre-season looking like a man who knew he was in trouble. Rodri wasn’t fit to start games, Mateo Kovacic was injured until October and Nico Gonzalez still wasn’t a No.6.
Advertisement
For the second successive season, that No.6 position was a significant issue that proved costly for City’s hopes of more silverware. And more bad news for Rodri threatens to take that into a third year, with more uncertainty for the midfield.
Enzo Maresca does not have the same scale of problem as Guardiola though because he has a £116m midfielder to drop into that position. Elliot Anderson has even bigger expectations on him in football after such a price-tag and taking on Rodri’s role is not for the faint-hearted.
It remains to be seen how City will use Anderson in the longer term, with some suggestion that he could play further forward as he has done at times for Forest. However, he is seen by Thomas Tuchel in the England team as a No.6 and so has spent the summer playing that role at the World Cup.
If City are not going to be able to rely on Rodri at the beginning of the season, Maresca can at least take comfort in being able to call on one of the best and most consistent midfielders in the Premier League from the last campaign. There is of course also the possibility of signing Moroccan teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi to secure City’s future in the position.

Anderson will have greater competition for a place at the Etihad and will have been warned about the dangers of not being in the team, but a problem for City in the form of Rodri’s fitness looks like securing the £116m signing for a major role at the base of the midfield as his first assignment for his new team.
France coach Didier Deschamps is back with Les Bleus for their round of 32 match against Sweden at the World Cup on Tuesday after traveling to Europe for his mother’s funeral.
Deschamps learned of his mother’s death the day after France’s win over Iraq on June 22, which clinched advancement from the group stage. He missed Friday’s victory over Norway.
“I’m here. I’m good, and it’s good to be busy since Friday evening when I arrived back in the United States,” Dechamps said Monday through a translator.
France swept its group matches for the first time since 1998, joined by Argentina and Mexico as the only nations to win all three games. Seeking their third title after 1998 and 2018, Les Blues would face Germany or Paraguay in the round of 16 if they get past the Swedes.

“For me it was very difficult. And for me and for the French national team it was important that I left. They did what they had to do,” Deschamps said. “And now we’re preparing a competition within the competition.”
Assistant Guy Stephan led the team to the 4-1 win over Norway in Deschamps’ absence.
“It was somewhat of a shock,” midfielder Adrien Rabiot said through a translator. “He completely trusted in us and we delivered the best way possible. We’re happy that he’s back. I don’t think that it’s so easy to have to grieve in these conditions. This is football and now we have the World Cup and it is the way it is.”
Deschamps coached France to the 2018 title and to the 2022 final, a penalty-kick loss to Argentina.
Captain of France’s 1998 champions, Deschamps took over as coach in 2012 and said in January he would retire this summer. He is trying to become the second coach to win two World Cup titles after Italy’s Vittorio Pozzo in 1934 and 1938.

“Didier came back with the willpower to go as far as possible in this World Cup. It is something that, of course, will also help him to forget a little bit about these tragic events,” Rabiot said. “He smiled a lot. He tried to be enthusiastic, although I know that he’s very affected by his grief. I think he’s trying not to show it, not to transmit any negative to the squad.”
FIFA denied France’s request to wear black armbands for coach’s motherFIFA denied a request by the French soccer federation to wear black armbands against Norway in honor of Deschamps mother.
“It doesn’t change a lot for me, to be very honest with you,” Deschamps said. “I didn’t need that to have an additional sign. I already had enough signs as it was, whether it was directly or indirectly.”
FIFA did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Marcus Thuram to miss match against Sweden and N’Golo Kante uncertainStriker Marcus Thuram won’t be available against Sweden because of a calf injury and midfielder N’Golo Kante is uncertain.
“As far as Markus, no, he has a little issue. It’s not very serious but muscular,” Deschamps said. “As far as N’Golo, it’s not muscular, but maybe it’ll be too tight for him to be in the starting 11 tomorrow.”
Thuram, a son of 1998 World Cup champion Lilian Thuram, entered in second-half injury time against Iraq in his only appearance so far.

Defender William Saliba went the distance in the first two matches and rested against Norway.
“Of course he has issues with his back, and that is not something new,” Deschamps said. “He’s not at 100%, but if he’s at 99% it’s good for the matches. Everything is good.”
First-time World Cup meeting between France and SwedenFrance is meeting Sweden at the World Cup for the first time.
Les Blues had the best goal difference in the group stage at plus-8, outscoring opponents 10-2.
“We could have scored more,” Deschamps said. “We did concede two goals, but we did concede too many goal-scoring opportunities.
The full card has been announced for the Katie Taylor vs. Flora Pili event, including a fan favourite heavyweight star along with an upcoming welterweight world title challenger.
It will serve as Taylor’s final professional fight, as she draws the curtain on a remarkable career that has seen her also become undisputed lightweight champion whilst beating fighters such as Amanda Serrano and Chantelle Cameron.

The undercard for the event has now been revealed, featuring a heavyweight battle between Dave Allen and Irish fighter Thomas Carty.
Following that bout he will then turn his attention to Carty, who is bidding to rise up the ranks again after suffering a setback defeat to Dajuan Calloway in March 2025.
Elsewhere on the card, Paddy Donovan collides with Tyrone McKenna. Donovan became mandatory for the IBF welterweight title in May when he defeated Karen Chukhadzhian, with a clash against new IBF champion Liam Paro expected in the future.

First he will take on McKenna, who last time out was able to earn a stoppage win over Dylan Moran, and has also shared the ring with the likes of Jack Catterall, Regis Prograis, Lewis Crocker and Harlem Eubank.
Other fights announced for the event including Molly McCann vs. Sylwia Doligala, Taylor Bevan vs. Emmet Brennan, Joe McGrail vs. Matthew Boreland and Paul Ryan vs. Paddy Gallagher, while Adam Olaniyan and Bobbi Flood are also in action.
There’s a reason more golfers are choosing to walk the course these days. You get more exercise, a better feel for the layout and, in many cases, you can enjoy a more relaxed pace that lets you enjoy the round instead of rushing through it. And, maybe best of all, no cart fee!
The only downside? Carrying your bag for four-plus hours can be a strain on your back and shoulders.
That’s where a good push cart comes in. Today’s models are lighter, fold smaller and include features like built-in storage, drink holders, umbrella mounts and simple one-step setups that make walking the course easier than ever. And while motorized push carts are gaining popularity, we’re sticking to human-powered models in this round-up (we’ll cover the motorized variety soon.)
Whether you’re looking for premium performance, a cart for rugged terrain or a cart that practically unfolds itself, we have you covered below.

After scoring in the 72nd minute, Cody Gakpo immediately sank to his knees. As his teammates immediately rushed toward him in celebration, the 27-year-old forward covered his face while weeping, later pointing to the sky and appearing to pray. While this marked Gakpo’s third goal of the World Cup, this goal in the Round of 32 loss to Morocco on Monday was especially emotional for him. On Saturday, Gakpo and his partner, model Noa van der Bij, announced the death of their unborn child. Despite the grief, Gakpo was determined to continue on in the tournament.
“I think he dealt with it very well,” Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman had said before the game. “There was never a moment where he said he wanted to leave the squad and go home. That says a lot about his maturity and the way in which he can deal with this.”
And just as Gakpo has been a key contributor for the Oranje, his teammates have been there to support him and his family during this difficult time.
“The most important thing is to ask, ‘What do you need?’” Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk said. “It’s awful news, and reminds us that football is secondary and there are much more important things in life.”

In the 113th minute, Gakpo was substituted off for Justin Kluivert.
As he walked off the pitch, the Netherlands fans in a section behind the goal immediately rose for a standing ovation. As Gakpo rounded the corner toward the bench, the applause only grew louder — a show of appreciation for someone who showed up for his team while dealing with tragedy.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin celebrated Iran’s elimination from the World Cup, saying he did a “happy dance,” Sports Business Journal reported on Monday.
The Iranian team barely missed out on reaching the knockout rounds of the tournament. They drew all three of their matches in Group G and finished as the ninth-best third-place team after Austria scored a last-minute goal against Algeria in the final group-stage match. The top eight third-place teams earned spots in the round of 32.
Mullin didn’t hide his overjoyed reaction to the news that Iran was eliminated. He spoke at a World Cup security briefing in Washington, per SBJ, saying he was “so glad they’re gone” and that he was “very happy they’re going back because there wasn’t a single team that we dealt with more than them.”
With the United States in the middle of a military and political conflict with Iran, the U.S. government restricted the Iranian soccer team’s movements during the World Cup. Prior to the event, Iran moved its planned training base from Tucson, Ariz., to Tijuana. The U.S. limited the amount of time the Iranian team could spend in the country preceding each match and required the squad to exit the nation right after each contest.
Mullin told reporters following the Monday briefing, according to SBJ, “I’m just glad they’re done, and they’re not coming back. I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave the U.S. soil, and I might’ve sung a song or two or maybe even danced a happy dance.”

Mullin maintained that “almost half” of the people Iran wanted to bring to the U.S. for the World Cup were directly tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an assertion that the Iranian federation stated was “completely unsupported by any evidence.”
Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei said his team was treated “very unfairly” during the tournament.
Speaking following Iran’s 1-1 draw against Egypt on Friday in Seattle, Ghalenoei said, “It was the host that wasn’t very good to us. I urge FIFA to not let the hosts treat teams and players the same way in the future. I hope Mr. Infantino will actually stand up to such behavior.”

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is famously close to Donald Trump, having awarded the U.S. president the inaugural “FIFA Peace Prize” in December.
Ghalenoei added that the United States’ “behavior towards us has been really terrible and we hope the world will be aware of that. Despite all of these problems, we’ve been able to perform well and the world is proud of Iranians and our team. I think that’s our greatest achievement despite all the obstacles and the hurdles they put in our way.”
The Iranian team left notes in the locker room for the hosts after their final two matches. The note in Inglewood, Calif., following a scoreless draw with Belgium on June 21 read: “From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilized Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and steadfast. We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity.”
The note left in Seattle read: “Perhaps points can be won in many ways. Perhaps a team can advance from a group, but only through fairness and honor can one stand tall before history. Fair play is not a line in football’s rules; it is the soul of the game. Thank you, Seattle, for your hospitality, and thank you to all Iranians, who gave their hearts, voices, and their whole being for Iran.”
United States’ security chief Markwayne Mullin said he “danced a happy dance” when Iran were eliminated from the World Cup.
The Iranian team exited the tournament in heartbreaking fashion when they were denied a late winner against Egypt by VAR, which deemed goalscorer Shoja Khalilzadeh’s toes offside.
The 1-1 draw saw Iran finish third in Group G, and they narrowly missed out on one of eight spots in the knockout rounds for third-placed teams, falling short on goal difference.
Mullin, who runs the US Department of Homeland Security, told reporters: “I’m just glad they’re done, and they’re not coming back. I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave the US soil, and I might’ve sung a song or two or maybe even danced a happy dance.’
He added: “There wasn’t a single team that we had to spend more time dealing with than Iran.”

The Iranian team’s preparations for World Cup games have been affected by international relations between the countries.
Iran were forced to move their training base from Tucson, Arizona to Tijuana, Mexico, and the squad was only allowed to enter the US the day before its first two matches in Los Angeles, and two days before the final game in Seattle. They were made to return to Mexico immediately after each match had finished. Some staff members were denied visas to enter America.
Mullin also accused the Iranian delegation of trying to sneak a person tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into the United States. The Iran Football Federation called the claim “false, fabricated and entirely baseless.”
Responding to Mullin’s latest remarks, a spokesperson for the federation said: “Iranians are used to the mistreatment and lies of US officials, so no one in Iran is surprised by these hostile remarks. These remarks once again demonstrate that US officials have no commitment to international law or the principles expected of a host nation capable of organising a global sporting event.
“The fact that he openly celebrates Iran’s elimination says far more about him than it does about our team. It reflects a level of pettiness that cannot even tolerate the presence of a football team competing on the world’s biggest stage.

“After our match against New Zealand, our head coach said that the United States did not want Iran to remain in this tournament because of the inhumane and unprofessional treatment our team experienced. These latest comments only reinforce that belief.”

Referring to the bombing of a school in the Iranian town of Minab in February, which Donald Trump blamed on Iran, the spokesperson added: “When they kill 168 children and lie to the whole world about it, nothing this person says is surprising to any of us.”
Reuters reported in March that an initial internal US military assessment found American forces were likely responsible for the strike. The Pentagon has since elevated the investigation but has not publicly confirmed any conclusions. The New York Times reported that the investigation determined the US was responsible for the missile strike.
