Spain 1, Argentina 0 – ET

SPA 1, ARG 0 – ET – Spain wins the World Cup by beating Argentina 1-0 on Ferran Torres’ goal in extra time
Spain substitute Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give his team a 1-0 win over defending champion Argentina in the World Cup final. Spain was absolutely dominant in terms of possession and shot attempts. Lionel Messi and Argentina found a way to hang on and force extra time — but barely. And in the opening moment of the second 15-minute period of extra time, Torres pounced on a bouncing ball in the box and used his left foot to bury a shot just under the crossbar and into the back of the net.

FIFA – Mbappé wins Golden Boot, and Spain’s Rodri gets Golden Ball with World Cup title
France’s Kylian Mbappé kept the Golden Boot award and Spain wouldn’t let Lionel Messi get anything else. Shortly after winning the World Cup title Sunday, the Spaniards claimed all three individual player awards, keeping Messi from leaving with any more personal hardware. Rodri won the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player, Unai Simón won the Golden Glove for the top performance by a goalkeeper, and Pau Cubarsí won the Best Young Player Award, beating out fellow 19-year-old teammate Lamine Yamal.

FIFA – Goals, technology and hydration are how this World Cup will be remembered
The World Cup final between Spain and Argentina marks the end of the biggest tournament in history. On Sunday, a record 104 games will have been played across six weeks and three countries. The expanded 48-team format brought surprises, with Cape Verde, Congo, and Curaçao making headlines. Lionel Messi became the all-time leading World Cup scorer. Video reviews sparked controversy, and high-tech balls led to disallowed goals. Despite high ticket prices, fans filled stadiums. Hydration breaks were unpopular, and Iran’s participation was politically charged. Former President Trump’s involvement raised questions about political interference.

Atlanta Dream 93, Chicago Sky 91

Dream 93, Sky 91 – Dream beat Sky 93-91 on Canada’s layup at buzzer after losing star Angel Reese to knee injury
Jordin Canada made a layup at the buzzer and the Atlanta Dream bounced back after squandering a 22-point lead and losing star Angel Reese due to a knee injury, beating the Chicago Sky 93-91. The victory was Atlanta’s seventh straight over Chicago. Reese’s knee buckled when she came to a jump stop under the basket early in the fourth quarter and she fell to the ground as she missed the layup. Atlanta has won three straight and four of its last five following a five-game skid.

Golf – Ryan Fox wins the British Open with a birdie on the final hole
Ryan Fox capped off an amazing week at the British Open with a finish he won’t forget. The 39-year-old from New Zealand made a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 68 to capture his first major championship. It was only the fifth birdie on the tough closing hole at Royal Birkdale on Sunday. It gave Fox a one-shot victory over hard-luck Cameron Young. The American shot a 64 and waited more than two hours to see if it would hold up. It almost did until Fox kept bouncing back from bogeys and finished with a birdie.

NASCAR – Joey Logano ends victory drought at North Wilkesboro
Joey Logano held off Denny Hamlin for his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season Sunday night in the first points race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 30 years.
