Fifa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over their behaviour after their World Cup final loss to Spain and throughout the tournament.

Last week, the world governing body appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess what happened after the final whistle at the New York New Jersey Stadium, with multiple Argentina players and backroom staff involved in altercations with Spain players following their 1-0 loss in July.

On the recommendation of the prosecutor, Fifa will investigate Argentina players Nahuel Molina (two counts) and Leandro Paredes (three counts), and Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala (one count) for alleged assault under article 14 of Fifa’s disciplinary code.

Molina may also face disciplinary action for one count of alleged unsporting behaviour under article 14.

Team-mate Thiago Almada and Spain midfielder Gavi are also accused of the same breach.

Under Fifa’s disciplinary code, players and officials face at least a one-match suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct and at least three matches for assault.

Wednesday is Tote Galway Plate Day with a seven-race card getting underway at 5.05pm.

The evening’s featured race, the Tote Galway Plate, worth €270,000, goes to post at 6.40pm.

Gilligan going for third Plate win

Gordon Elliott has won the race twice in the last three years – with Ash Tree Meadow in 2023 and Western Fold in 2025 – with both winners ridden by local jockey Danny Gilligan.

This afternoon the Cullentra House handler will saddle four runners – Three Card Brag (Kevin Healy), Nowhatdoyouthink (Jack Kennedy), Maxxum (Danny Gilligan) and King Of Kingsfield (Josh Halford).

Four runners for Mullins

Champion trainer Willie Mullins, who last won the Tote Galway Plate with Royal Rendezvous, is responsible for four horses in the Grade 3 contest, namely Funiculi Funicula, the choice of Paul Townend, King Alexander (Daniel King), Spread Boss Ted (Brian Hayes) and Ballygunner Castle (Danny Mullins).

County Waterford handler Henry de Bromhead has three runners in the race – Downmexicoway, who will be ridden by Darragh O’Keeffe, the French-bred Nouvotic (Mike O’Connor), and Gorgeous Tom, from whose weight Patrick O’Brien will take five pounds.

2025 runner-up Jesse Evans contests Galway Plate

Noel Meade, who won the main prize with Pinkerton in 2024, returns to Ballybrit with last season’s runner-up Jesse Evans, the mount of Sam Ewing.

J.P. McManus, often mob handed in the race, relies on the Gavin Cromwell-trained Perceval Legallois, who will be the mount of McManus’ retained rider, Harry Cobden.

Course winners Rocky’s Diamond, from the Declan Queally yard, and Ol Man Dingle, from Eoin Griffin’s Kilkenny barn, are other interesting runners in the 2 mile 6 furlongs and 111 yards highlight.

Life is going to look a little different in Storrs this season. UConn, fresh off its third Final Four appearance in the last four years, is facing the reality that it must replace three starters, three more role players and two coaches from one of the smartest game-planning staffs in America. Long-time UConn assistant Tom Moore retired, and sharp offensive mastermind Luke Murray took the Boston College gig. 

And yet, the Huskies enter 2026-27 with legitimate National Championship aspirations. Such is life for a big-boy program. Change is inevitable. Sky-high expectations are unavoidable.

Let’s dive into the weeds of Dan Hurley’s new roster. 

Projected starting lineup

1. PG Silas Demary Jr. | 6-5 | 191 | Sr.

Demary will be the standard-bearer for this group now that program pillar Alex Karaban is off to the NBA. Demary has all the tools (on the court and between the ears) to be the best point guard in college basketball next season. The jumbo lead guard is a vicious point-of-attack defender who will take tough assignments every night, and he plays such a physical brand of basketball on both ends. Over 40% of Demary’s shots came at the rim last year, and he notched the fourth-best free throw rate in Big East play. Oh, and he led the league in assists (5.9 per game). 

Getting fully healthy was a big priority this offseason because of how much it impacted his offensive aggression. UConn needs more from Demary offensively this year without Karaban, Tarris Reed and the injured Solo Ball. Demary was a bit too deferential for stretches, and his nasty ankle injury in March sapped a ton of his explosiveness. More drives. More 3s, especially to restock the nearly 12 attempts per game that the Karaban-Ball, 1-2 punch provided last season.

With a huge workload on tap, Demary has every opportunity to be a 15-5-5 guy in 2026-27. No high-major player hit that threshold last year, but it’s in play for Demary. That’s an All-American, just like Tristen Newton evolved into in his second year under Hurley on the way to the 2024 National Championship.

Way-too-early Big East basketball tiers: St. John’s and UConn primed to jostle for supremacy, again

2. G Braylon Mullins | 6-6 | 198 | So.

Mullins is not a true breakout candidate (he averaged 12.1 points last year and started 29 games for a team that went to the natty), but he will be one of the faces of college basketball next season. 

The Shot. The Return. The Sequel. 

It’s all there.

But even the most historic shots don’t carry over to the next season. Mullins passed on the NBA to return to UConn for his sophomore year to do some special things. Remember, he suffered a preseason ankle injury that knocked his freshman season off-kilter for over two months. A full, healthy offseason should work wonders for his development. Getting stronger is a huge priority, and Mullins has already packed on over 10 pounds. 

The situation has changed drastically, too. UConn’s layered, complex offense created the second-most 3s off screens in the country last season. Karaban (141 possessions) and Ball (134 possessions) sopped up a ton of that usage with Mullins (91 possessions) mixing in behind ’em. Mullins goes from No. 3 on the pecking order to No. 1 for those movement treys. He will have every chance to lead the Big East in triples next season. 

But Mullins’ secret sauce may be that he doesn’t tie his value to the jumpers going in or not. Mullins knows how to use leverage to his advantage, slipping off curls to get to his pull-up jumper or saucy floater. I think UConn will give him a chance to play with the ball in his hands a bit more and show his full arsenal. Pressuring the rim even more should be a priority with a stronger frame. He’s also a willing offensive rebounder and a competitor defensively.

Mullins is in for a gigantic year. The All-American prophecies will age wisely.

3. G/F Jayden Ross | 6-7 | 210 | Sr.

If Ross pans out, UConn may have the best backcourt in America. The role allocation may be a bit easier with Ross on the floor while Ball is on the mend. Ross is not the shooter of Ball’s ilk, but he brings more defense, athleticism and rebounding. UConn rated in the 98th percentile nationally with a +23 net rating with Ross, Demary and Mullins on the floor together. I think that’s real because you have no duplicative skill sets in that backcourt.

Demary is the point guard who makes others better. Mullins is the elite shot-maker. Ross brings a sky-scraping athlete on the wing. It’s a sharp mix, and it’s one that UConn is betting big on.

Demary is an elite guard defender, and Ross can be an elite wing defender. That gives UConn two big, strong perimeter stoppers who can go toe-to-toe with anyone. Decision-making will be everything for Ross. Tightening up his handle and playing cleaner will be essential. He’s made strides as a shooter (39% on 64 attempts last year), but if he can be trusted to attack long closeouts and make the right read at the right time, Ross is going to help this club a ton. 

4. F Nik Khamenia | 6-8 | 225 | So.

Processing and passing are two vital qualities for a UConn offense that moves the basketball more than so many others. Those are two of Khamenia’s superpowers. He made plenty of enemies jumping sides in the burgeoning Duke-UConn rivalry, but the former five-star recruit should succeed in Storrs. The 6-foot-8 stretch 4 is not a movement shooter like Karaban, but he offers a bit more mismatch hunting. UConn could use Khamenia in backdowns to create advantages in late-clock situations. He’ll help this offense with his spot-up shooting, cutting and offensive rebounding.

Plus, he’s got some nastiness that should jive well with Hurley’s personality. Khamenia isn’t afraid to stick his nose in the fan. It could be a little clunky at first — the adjustment process for transfers in this scheme is real — but Khamenia should develop into an excellent role player with room to grow into so much more down the road.

5. C Na’jai Hines | 6-11 | 278 | So.

Bart Torvik’s database goes back to 2008. There are dozens of stats for thousands of players.

Hines legitimately broke the spreadsheets with his freshman season at Seton Hall.

Hines notched 2.2 blocks and 2.4 offensive rebounds per game for the Pirates in 18 minutes. That percolates out to a 15.3 offensive rebound rate and a 16.4 block percentage. Hines is the only player in the last 19 seasons of college basketball who has notched a season with an offensive rebound rate and block rate north of 15.0.

That’s the type of monster that UConn landed in the portal.

The 6-foot-10, 278-pound big fella may be the skeleton key to the Huskies making it back to the Final Four, yet again.

If Hines can clean up his body to be a guy who can consistently play 25 minutes, there’s a lot to like about this portal marriage. Hines rated in the 94th percentile in post-up efficiency last season. That’s ideal for a UConn offense that uses a bunch of flowery off-ball actions to open up deep duck-ins. Hines’ screening, offensive rebounding and rim protection will all be major assets for this UConn club, too. 

Hurley’s track record with bigs is flawless. Hines is up next to ride the jetpack joy ride.

Off the bench

F Colben Landrew 6-6 | 235 | Fr.

The fact that a prized top-30 recruit like Landrew could come off the bench is a promising sign of where this UConn roster is at. Landrew is an outstanding prospect with one-and-done potential thanks to his blend of positional size, bucket-getting abilities and versatility. But my favorite part of his game is his physicality. The 6-foot-6, 235-pound wing is always trying to go through defenders, especially in the open floor. The jumper looks a lot smoother and less hitchy than it did earlier in his high school career, and he’ll impact the game on the glass, defensively and as a secondary creator.

Landrew should fill a bunch of gaps for this UConn rotation because he is such a positionless player. If Khamenia is struggling, Landrew is burly enough to guard 4s. If it isn’t Ross’ night, Landrew can slot right into the mix at the 3. He’s got a path to play starter minutes. I’m curious how long it takes for Landrew to force his way into the starting 5. It might be sooner rather than later.

C Oskar Giltay 6-11 | 240 | So.

You ready for some good screens? Giltay brings blockade screens to the table to go along with rim protection and plenty of rebounding. UConn quietly needed to replace both Tarris Reed and top backup center Eric Reibe (who transferred to USC). Giltay may not have the ceiling of Reibe, but the Stanford transfer will be a serviceable backup 5-man. With Hines and Giltay, UConn will have an elite rim protector on the floor for all 40 minutes.

G Junior County 6-5 | 205 | Fr.

County is one of my favorite role player bets from the incoming freshman class. County is just good at basketball. The 6-foot-5 guard has terrific positional size, and he is a high-feel player. He can cut. He can slash. He can make 3s. He can play on or off the ball. He’s one of the best guard rebounders in the entire 2026 recruiting class. County has a real shot to help this team because he does a little bit of everything well.

F Egor Amosov 6-8 | 235 | Fr.

Size, shooting and playmaking? Sounds like a UConn forward. The 6-foot-8 Russian product should push Khamenia for minutes at the 4. Amosov’s quick-trigger jumper sets up his entire game, but the rest of his toolkit is promising. Patience may be required early, but Amosov’s got a chance to crack this rotation. He had 16 points and nine rebounds for Real Madrid in a late-May, head-to-head showdown with UCLA’s Nikola Kusturica, Duke’s Joaquim Boumtje-Boumjte and Mohamed Dabone, one of the top prospects in the world. Amosov can hoop.

PG Jaye Nash 6-2 | 193 | Jr.

Nash, a Jacksonville State transfer, brings a bit of speed that this roster was missing. Scoring is not his forte, but his knack for creating advantages gives him a chance to earn minutes as a backup point guard. He better be ready to pressure the basketball if he wants to earn more time, though.

G Nils Machowski 6-4 | 190 | Sr.

Machowski shot over 38% from downtown on 7.2 attempts for Wofford last season. He’s a veteran who won’t rock the boat if he doesn’t earn major minutes in the rotation. Machowski, County and Nash are in a three-headed camp battle for backup guard minutes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes will have the edge.

Filling out the roster

Two-year starting shooting guard Solo Ball is currently expected to miss the entire season after wrist surgery. However, it remains unclear how the new 5-in-5 eligibility model from the NCAA could influence Ball’s decision-making. The current expectation is that injury redshirts will not exist under the new model. Ball only has two years of eligibility remaining. Even if he doesn’t play a second in 2026-27, he’d only have one more year of eligibility left. Texas Tech star JT Toppin is in a similar boat after suffering a knee injury last February. Instead of sitting out the entire year, Toppin is planning to return around conference play. Could Ball change his mind and follow suit? That’s a midseason variable that could shake up UConn’s outlook (and rotation).

Market watch

Odds to win 2026 NCAA Tournament (via Fanduel): +1200, third-best odds

Your bigs control your floor, and your guards control your ceiling. That means UConn could be a bit more mercurial in 2026-27. On the nights when UConn’s new-look frontcourt isn’t up to snuff, it will be vulnerable. On the nights when the frontcourt is playing well, UConn’s tremendous backcourt can elevate it to a special level. 

I’m bullish on Demary and Mullins playing like two of the best guards in America, but defense has to be the backbone of this group. Demary, Ross and Hines give Hurley three excellent defenders at all three levels: the point of attack, the wing and the paint. Can UConn be a top-10 defense again? The personnel is there, even though the Huskies will miss Karaban’s ability to be in the right place at the right time defensively and will ask a ton of young guys to play real minutes. There’s a chance seven of the top nine players in the rotation are underclassmen. But freshmen like Landrew and County are the right freshmen, and sophomores like Hines and Khamenia are the right sophomores.

That’s why it’s hard to see this group falling flat. If you were looking for transfers in the portal to replace Karaban and Reed, they’d probably look a lot like Khamenia and Hines. Could this offense be better? I think that’s firmly in play after rating 29th in offensive efficiency last year. UConn averaged just over 8.0 transition points last year. Accessing easier shots in transition should be in play with Hines’ ability to rebound and the willingness from guys like Khamenia, Mullins, Landrew and Ross to run the floor. This is a more athletic team than a year ago, and UConn has loads of shooting, rim pressure, post-up presence and offensive rebounding, to boot. 

If Hines is an All-Big East center and Khamenia is the answer at the 4, UConn can win the National Championship. Check ball.

As we count down to the first college football game of the 2026 season, we continue our new series: The records of each top CFB program in the West against all the others in the region.

Some schools have met many times over the years, while others are beginning new rivalries in the wake of recent realignment.

For each opponent in the table below, we provide the total games played, wins, losses, ties, winning percentage, first year played, and most recent contest.

We continue with USC, which has played 795 games against regional foes, winning 547, losing 217, and recording 31 ties, for a winning percentage of .708.

The Trojans have recorded the most wins (73), played the most games (112) against Cal, and lost the most games (37) against Stanford.

Here is a breakdown of USC’s records vs. the region’s teams.

Roberto De Zerbi has told Lucas Bergvall he must show the “right spirit” if he wants to stay at Tottenham amid speculation linking the midfielder with a move away from the club.

The uncertainty comes after Bergvall made his first pre-season start in Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Sydney FC on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old endured a challenging 2025-26 campaign, making only 17 starts and frequently playing out of his preferred position. This summer has seen further competition arrive in the centre of midfield with the big-money signings of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

It is understood that bids from Nottingham Forest and Newcastle for Bergvall this month have been rejected. However, the midfielder could still depart Tottenham before the transfer window closes, driven by his desire for regular first-team football in the upcoming season.

Despite De Zerbi speaking positively about the Swedish international staying at Spurs after the Sydney draw, an element of the unknown persists regarding immediate plans for Bergvall.

Sources close to the player claim there has been no dialogue between De Zerbi and Bergvall for two months, a sentiment seemingly confirmed by De Zerbi himself on Saturday when he stated, “I have not spoken to Lucas yet” during a press conference in New Zealand.

However, De Zerbi offered a different perspective to reporters on Wednesday, saying: “I am speaking with (Bergvall) before the end of the last season, during the World Cup two times but now we are speaking better, face to face, without a competition in this moment.”

When asked if Bergvall had expressed a desire to leave, De Zerbi was unequivocal.

“No, never. I’m always being very clear with him and with you. I would like that he stays with us. I think he’s potentially a top, top, top player, but then I don’t want to convince anyone to stay. Tottenham is already, without me, a top club and we are not to convince anyone to stay. He can find the space if he stays with us.”

The manager stressed the intense competition within the squad.

“The competition within the players will be very strong because we are Tottenham and we have to build a strong squad. Not just 11 players,” he explained. “It’s very clear, his idea. He wants space. He wants to play as a double pivot as a position. I can’t give, for any player in the world, the place in the first XI guaranteed, especially for me, I want to be honest with the players. I want to be clear.”

Mathys Tel scored in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Sydney, which concluded with a penalty shoot-out won 4-2 by the Premier League side after a Panenka penalty by 17-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett. However, Bergvall’s future dominated De Zerbi’s post-match agenda.

“I would like that he stays. I would like that he stays, but if he doesn’t want, then what can I do? Nothing,” De Zerbi reiterated.

“He has to speak with Vinai (Venkatesham) or Johan Lange. To stay with us, we have to have the right spirit to stay. He’s a good guy. We will see in the next weeks.”

Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain on Tuesday said she has been unable to fully focus on her Commonwealth Games campaign because of the devastating floods in her home state of Assam, and appealed to people to extend help to those affected.

The 28-year-old boxer from Assam is assured of at least a bronze medal after receiving a direct entry into the women’s 75kg semifinals because of the five-boxer draw.

“I am feeling very bad that a lot of people have lost their lives because of the flood in Assam. A lot of people are facing a lot of problems at this time,” said Borgohain, who became only the third Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal when she claimed bronze at the Tokyo Games, in a video message.  Check CWG 2026 DAY 6 (July 29) LIVE UPDATES, MEDAL NEWS AND INDIA FULL SCHEDULE here

“A lot of people have lost their homes and everything has been washed away. At this time, people are not getting food, water, clothes, and other necessities.

“I am not able to focus properly here because of the condition of my people. I am trying to do my best. Our people are working hard to deliver the necessities to the people.

“The government is also doing its best. A lot of people from Assam are also coming out to help them. I need everyone to reach out to the people and help them. I request everyone to help us reach out to the people and deliver the necessities to them.”  According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), 68 people have lost their lives in floods across the state so far this year. The disaster has affected 445,495 people in six districts, namely Sivasagar, Golaghat, Charaideo, Jorhat, Nagaon and Kamrup (Metropolitan).

Indian boxer Sakshi Chaudhary vowed to “change the colour of the medal to gold” after she advanced to the women’s 51kg semifinals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 after defeating Northern Ireland’s Caitlyn Fryers with a dominant unanimous 5-0 decision in the quarterfinal on Wednesday. Sakshi, who came into the Games in good form after moving back to the 51kg category and beating top Indian boxers during the trials, controlled the bout with a composed performance. She won all three rounds by identical 5-0 margins, using her movement and accurate punches to keep Fryers under pressure, according to ESPN.

The victory also assured Sakshi of a Commonwealth Games medal. She will now face Canada’s Amber-Jane Wall in the semifinal on Friday for a place in the gold medal bout.

Speaking to ANI, Sakshi said her aim is now to change the colour of the medal she assured to gold. She added that she will focus on staying calm and giving her best in the next bout, while dedicating the achievement to India, her family, coaches and supporters.

“The colour needs to change, but achieving this milestone was also very important. After this, there will be a little less pressure. Now I just have to change the colour of the medal to gold, and I want to win a gold medal for India. My focus will be to stay calm and play my game to the fullest,” she said.

“I would like to dedicate my medal to the whole of India, who supported me to reach here, my family, all the coaches, and everyone else,” she added.

Earlier, Sakshi had defeated Botswana’s Lethabo Modukanele in the previous round to book her quarterfinal spot.

India has enjoyed a successful campaign in Glasgow, winning 12 medals so far — two gold, seven silver and three bronze.

India’s medallists are Mirabai Chanu (gold, weightlifting), Sharmila Dhankar (gold, women’s shot put F57), Rishikanta Singh (silver, weightlifting), Muthupandi Raja (silver, weightlifting), Gyaneshwari Yadav (silver, weightlifting), Sarvesh Kushare (silver, men’s high jump), Gulveer Singh (silver, men’s 10,000m), Harjinder Kaur (silver, weightlifting), Valluri Ajaya Babu (silver, weightlifting), Bindyarani Devi (bronze, weightlifting), Shilpa K. Shyla (bronze, women’s shot put F57) and Jhandu Kumar (bronze, para powerlifting).
