Warren Barton was hit by a beer during his World Cup 2026 commentary duties in Colombia’s 3-1 win over Uzbekistan while “dripping with blood.”

Barton was at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to team up with Jacqui Oatley during the Fox broadcast.

Luis Diaz had inspired Los Cafeteros to victory, assisting the opener and scoring a second either side of Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s historic first goal for Uzbekistan at a World Cup.

And Jaminton Campaz sent the Azteca wild in stoppage time with a third goal for Colombia to lift them top of Group K and ahead of Portugal, who were held by DR Congo earlier on Wednesday.

The wild atmosphere saw both commentators drenched with beer in the first half after Daniel Munoz broke the deadlock.

And Barton appeared to be hit by a projectile in the closing stages of the contest, but persevered with the commentary to the end, which saw a frantic finale, including Campaz’s stoppage time strike.

Oatley concluded the broadcast by stating: “Nobody in Mexico City is going to get much sleep tonight.”

More to follow…

Ghana secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama thanks to Caleb Yirenkyi’s stoppage-time winner in their first Group L match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Just when the game appeared destined to end goalless, Yirenkyi struck in the 95th minute to hand the Black Stars a priceless three points and move them into second place in the group behind England.

The winning goal came after excellent work from Brandon Thomas-Asante down the left flank. The Coventry City forward skipped past a challenge from Panama defender Jose Cordoba before delivering a low cross into the box. Yirenkyi arrived at the far post to turn the ball into the empty net, sparking wild celebrations among Ghana’s players and supporters.

The match had been a tense and closely fought contest with few clear chances. Panama looked set to earn the first World Cup point in their history and even pushed their goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera forward for a late corner in search of a winner.

However, Ghana held firm before producing the decisive moment deep into added time.

Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz praised his players after the match, saying his side executed their game plan perfectly.

“First we had to suffer, we battled like warriors. We won the game with the brains,” Queiroz said.

“We knew they would control parts of the game. Our strategy was to remain patient and take our chance when it came.”

Former Nigeria striker Efan Ekoku described the goal as one of the most important moments in recent Ghanaian football history, saying Panama would be devastated to see a valuable point slip away so late in the game.

The victory gives Ghana a huge boost in Group L and sets up a mouth-watering clash against group leaders England on Tuesday. The winner of that encounter will secure a place in the Round of 32 with one group game still to play.

Panama, meanwhile, remain without a point in World Cup history after losing all four of their matches at the tournament. They will now face Croatia in a must-win game to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Ghana’s dramatic victory means the race for qualification remains wide open, with the Black Stars now dreaming of a place in the knockout stages.

Mike Phillips has been cleared by Fiba to play as a local for Gilas Pilipinas.–MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines–Mike Phillips was selected to the 12-man roster of Gilas Pilipinas, which will be missing some key players for the third window of the Fiba World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

The La Salle product and MPBL standout for San Juan is set to make his international debut for the two road games against Australia and New Zealand after Fiba declared him a local player.

Gilas, however, won’t have Quentin Millora-Brown and Calvin Oftana for the conclusion of the first round qualification, leaving coach Tim Cone with a different lineup than in previous windows.

Headlining the squad are PBA Press Corps Finals Most Valuable Player Scottie Thompson, Troy Rosario, Best Player of the Conference RJ Abarrientos and naturalized player Justin Brownlee, who all played key roles in Barangay Ginebra’s road to the Commissioner’s Cup title.

Also included in the 12-man roster are PBA standouts June Mar Fajardo, Chris Newsome and Justin Baltazar, along with Kevin Quiambao and Carl Tamayo from the Korean Basketball League.

Dwight Ramos completed the roster as the only B.League player for the window.

Gilas will have its hands full for the qualifiers after losing to both Oceania teams at home during the second window in late February.

This time, the Nationals will be travelling to Auckland for the July 3 contest with New Zealand before heading to Perth for the July 6 matchup against Australia.

The Philippines carries a 2-2 record in Group A, but is already assured of a spot in the second round of the qualification stage for the 2027 competition in Doha.

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — If the PGA Championship taught us anything, it is that even amid an era of professional golf catered towards the world’s best, any player can be the world’s best on any given week. At Aronimink Golf Club, it was Aaron Rai who played his way into the winner’s circle at the second major championship of the season by teeing it up in an alternate field event across from a signature event the week prior.

This week at Shinnecock Hills, it could be someone similar as the U.S. Open has had a way of crowning champions who were perhaps on the second or third page of potential contenders. Last season, it was J.J. Spaun who shocked the world with a birdie to remember on the 72nd hole at Oakmont Country Club. Two years earlier, Wyndham Clark fended off fan favorites in Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler at Los Angeles Country Club amid a week of record scoring.

It is true, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is likely to threaten the career grand slam on Sunday — a day that triples as the final round of the championship, Father’s Day and Scheffler’s 30th birthday. McIlroy has done everything but win a U.S. Open since his last trip to Shinnecock Hills in 2018. Schauffele has never finished outside the top 15 in the U.S. Open. Fitzpatrick has the most wins this season.

The big names one should expect to be there in the final round should be present, but there are surprises every single year, and at the U.S. Open, those surprises have had a knack of bettering both expectations and the rest of the field.

Check out the nine golfers who we believe could be the last man standing come Sunday at Shinnecock Hills, along with a full slate of U.S. Open picks and expert predictions from the CBS Sports staff before play begins, and a complete breakdown of the U.S. Open TV schedule and coverage guide for the week.

Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders Odds

Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders Preview

Melbourne will aim to continue its resurgence when it hosts Canberra at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon. After a difficult patch earlier in the season, the Storm have rediscovered the defensive discipline and composure that have long been hallmarks of Craig Bellamy’s sides. Their improvement has coincided with a return to form from key playmakers, helping Melbourne re-establish itself as a genuine premiership contender. Canberra’s finals hopes are beginning to fade, making this a must-win match for the Raiders if they are to remain in touch with the top eight. The challenge is considerable, however, with Melbourne traditionally difficult to beat at home and carrying momentum into the second half of the season.

Caitlin Clark finally has her own signature shoe.

The Indiana Fever star announced the Nike Caitlin 1 on Wednesday afternoon, ending months of anticipation after Nike revealed her signature logo last year.

Clark’s first signature model is expected to release Oct. 1, according to multiple reports. ESPN reported the shoe will cost $140 in North America and $135 in the rest of the world.

“This is like your debut album, you want it to be killer,” Clark told ESPN.

MARY CAIN’S BOOK AND NIKE’S TRANS-ATHLETE STUDY REVEAL THE SAME PATTERN OF CORPORATE HYPOCRISY

The first look shows a royal blue basketball shoe with Clark’s interlocking “CC” logo on the tongue and outsole, a textured upper and a layered Nike Swoosh on the side. ESPN reported that the stacked Swooshes were designed to mimic Clark’s initials, while the outside of the foot includes nodes made of “C’s” and the inside features “2’s” as a nod to her No. 22 jersey.

There are also messages underfoot, including “Shoot More Threes,” “From Anywhere” and “It was never a long shot.”

“There’s a lot of different Easter eggs all over the shoes that people can search through the shoe and kind of find,” Clark told ESPN. “The shoe looks one way when you’re watching me on the court, but when you physically hold it in your hand and see it up close, there’s a lot of little discoverables for the consumer, which I think is really fun too.”

Clark teased the announcement throughout the week. She hinted that her long run of wearing Kobe Bryant sneakers was coming to an end, changed her Instagram profile to show part of the upcoming shoe and wore an all-blue outfit before Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Tempo with a bracelet that read “10-01-26.”

The Caitlin 1 also uses Nike’s new “Opticast” technology, which the company said is designed to reduce drag and improve on-court movement, according to ESPN. Nike said the shoe was built around Clark’s speed, range and unpredictability.

Clark told ESPN she wanted the shoe to work both on and off the court.

“I wanted this to be something that looked different than something that’s on the shelves,” Clark said, “but I also wanted it to be something that people are comfortable wearing.”

Nike is also launching an 18-piece Clark apparel line that includes jackets, T-shirts and graphic hoodies, according to ESPN.

EEOC INVESTIGATING NIKE FOR ALLEGED ANTI-WHITE BIAS AGAINST EMPLOYEES, JOB APPLICANTS

Clark becomes the fifth active WNBA player with a signature shoe from a major brand, joining Angel Reese with Reebok, Breanna Stewart with Puma, Sabrina Ionescu with Nike and A’ja Wilson with Nike.

It’s another major business marker for Clark, whose arrival in the WNBA has driven ratings, attendance and attention around the league.

Now, she has the signature shoe to match.

Clark said Tuesday that she “probably was never a kid that grew up thinking that this was going to be in the cards” for her.

It is now.

The 2026 U.S. Open will bring the world’s best players to one of its most iconic and historic venues this week in Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. It’s a fitting venue for golf’s latest pursuit of history, as Scottie Scheffler takes his first crack at joining the exclusive club of players to complete the career grand slam.

Scheffler has not been as dominant in 2026 as we’ve grown accustomed to in recent years, winning just once on the PGA Tour so far this season — the American Express in his first start of the year. Despite a months-long winning drought, Scheffler remains the favorite heading into the U.S. Open on the odds sheet at 11/2 at FanDuel Sportsbook, as bookmakers aren’t willing to cede his place as the clear No. 1 in the world just yet. 

The closest to Scheffler on the pre-tournament odds board is the man he’s trying to join in the grand slam club. Rory McIlroy enters the week at 12-1 after capturing his second straight Masters earlier this year. McIlroy has made it clear that what motivates him now is making history and winning at golf’s cathedrals, and Shinnecock Hills undoubtedly counts as one of those great venues of the game.

Nipping at McIlroy’s heels is Jon Rahm (13-1) after the Spaniard returned to major contention for the first time in a year with his runner-up at the PGA Championship last month. Bryson DeChambeau, once part of a clear-cut top four, is no longer viewed in that same category after back-to-back missed cuts at majors to start 2026; he finds himself all the way back in ninth on the odds sheet at 25-1. The two-time U.S. Open champion will be hoping to find a little magic again to reassert himself as a legitimate threat at majors, but his performances to start the year have dropped him out of the conversation alongside the likes of Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm.

While much of the focus entering the week will be on the favorites, last year’s U.S. Open produced a surprise winner in J.J. Spaun — who comes into 2026 at 50-1 in his title defense — and perhaps another long shot will walk away with the U.S. Open trophy on Sunday afternoon. Below is the full odds list for the entire field at the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have a history of success with fillies at Canterbury’s mid-June race meetings, and on Wednesday, they introduced another promising youngster who appears destined for greater achievements.

Demerzel secured her maiden victory at her second career start in the $60,000 event contested over 1250 metres. This marked the first of three wins for the day for the Waterhouse and Bott stable.

The Tulloch Lodge trainers achieved a similar win three years prior with Tropical Squall, who subsequently triumphed in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) and Surround Stakes (1400m) as a three-year-old.

While Bott refrained from directly comparing Demerzel to Tropical Squall, he expressed confidence that the daughter of Ole Kirk is also on track for more significant races over longer distances than her Wednesday assignment.

A classy win to Demerzel at Canterbury! ⭐️@clarkyhk @GaiWaterhouse1 @aus_turf_club pic.twitter.com/IIXRQCbatq

— SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 17, 2026

“She’s very professional and put them away nicely,” Bott said.

“I think the improvement’s really going to come when we can see her get over a bit further.

“I think over 1400 (or) 1600 metres as a three-year-old, we’re really going to see her be very effective.”

Demerzel, a $550,000 Inglis Easter yearling purchase and the comfortable $3.40 favourite, led from start to finish, winning by 1-3/4 lengths. Consulate ($3.90) secured second place, finishing a nose ahead of Woodenbridge ($3.90).

Tim Clark was the jockey for Wednesday’s victory, which followed a fourth-place debut over 1100m under Rachel King. Clark shares Bott’s assessment of the filly’s potential.

“For her to do what she did at 1100 the other day, it was a really good run, and then she obviously improved once she got out in trip a little bit,” Clark said.

“But I think her future lies when she gets out over a little bit further, she’s going to be a really nice filly.”

Demerzel was not the sole winner for Clark riding for Waterhouse and Bott; the imported galloper Mo Chroi also made a successful Australian debut, showing potential to progress through the grades.

The four-year-old son of Galiway, who arrived in Australia after two starts in Ireland yielding a win and a third, settled just off the pace but finished strongly along the inside rail in the home straight to win by 1-1/4 lengths in the 1550m BM72 event.

Waterhouse and Bott’s third winner was Think I Will, who triumphed in the 1900m BM72 race with Siena Grima in the saddle.

Sydney Roosters vs Cronulla Sharks Preview

The final game of the round sees the Roosters host Cronulla in a contest that could prove pivotal in the battle for a top-eight position. Sydney has shown it can match the competition’s best through the middle of the field, but discipline and execution have too often undermined its performances. The arrival of Daly Cherry-Evans was designed to provide leadership during the demanding Origin period, and the veteran playmaker will be eager to guide the Roosters back to winning ways. Cronulla enters the clash with confidence after enjoying strong contributions from a healthy backline and remains one of the more consistent attacking teams in the competition. With both sides chasing valuable competition points, a close and entertaining contest is expected at Allianz Stadium.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) had a few more shakeups to its talent and personnel roster on Wednesday.

Anthem Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of TNA, announced that it had parted ways with pro wrestling legend Tommy Dreamer and former TNA world champion Tessa Blanchard in a press release. Fox News Digital confirmed Blanchard’s departure on Tuesday.

“TNA Wrestling today announced a workforce reduction, designed to streamline operations and sharpen strategic focus and profitability,” the organization said.

“TNA’s creative leadership team will see an immediate shift. Tommy Dreamer, who has worked in TNA’s Creative and Talent Relations Departments, is leaving the company as TNA and Dreamer mutually agreed to part ways.

“TNA Wrestling also has come to terms on the release of Tessa Blanchard.

“We wish Tessa, Tommy and others the best in their future endeavors.”

Dreamer announced his departure in an emotional interview on Busted Open Radio earlier Wednesday.

Additionally, pro wrestler Sami Callihan announced he had parted ways with the company.

“Thought I was getting called today to be offered a position in creative… nope. I’ve parted ways with TNA.  Oh well… onward to the next adventure,” he wrote on X while encouraging fans to watch Pro Wrestling Revolver.

Dreamer, Blanchard and Callihan’s departures are the latest to hit the company.
