Harry Kane breaks all-time record as England register 2-0 win over Panama after frustrating first half display | Football

New York: England eventually broke down a stubborn Panama side to win 2-0 in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group L clash, but Thomas Tuchel’s team were made to work far harder than expected after a frustrating goalless first half at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Despite dominating possession from the opening whistle, England struggled to find any real fluency in the final third. Panama defended with a compact, disciplined shape, denying space between the lines and forcing England into slow, predictable circulation. Harry Kane frequently dropped deep to try and connect play, but England’s attacking moves often broke…

Why is Abhishek Sharma’s half-century against Ireland in first T20I erased from record books? | Cricket

Belfast, Northern Ireland: Abhishek Sharma's half-century in the first T20I against Ireland was erased from the record books after a post-match scoring correction. His final score was reduced from 50 to 49 following India's embarrassing defeat to Ireland in the first T20I in Belfast. The opener had raced to what was initially recorded as a 19-ball fifty during India's chase before being dismissed off the very next delivery. However, once the match ended, officials revised his innings to 49 off 20 balls after one run was reclassified as a leg bye. The amendment did not alter India's total or the…

Which is the only team to not score a single goal in FIFA World Cup 2026? | Cricket

New Delhi: Panama have become the only team at the FIFA World Cup 2026 yet to score a single goal, following defeats in their opening two Group L matches against Ghana and Croatia. With two 1-0 losses, they are already out of the race for the round of 32.

Gap between India and Australia has narrowed in recent years, believes Smriti Mandhana, ahead of must-win game | Cricket

London: India and Australia will face off in a crucial women’s T20 World Cup clash amid contrasting form and renewed debate over the gap between the two sides in international cricket. Notably, the Sophie Molineux-led side has dominated the tournament so far, with commanding wins in all four of their league-stage games. They were forced to drop the likes of Phoebe Litchfield and Ash Gardner, but that didn’t affect the result at all.  India, in contrast, have struggled for consistency. A six-wicket defeat to South Africa exposed vulnerabilities, while a narrow win over Bangladesh was marked by multiple fielding lapses.…

3 reasons behind Uruguay’s downfall and being eliminated from group stage of FIFA World Cup 2026 | Football

New Delhi: Uruguay's disappointing FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign came to an end after a 1-0 defeat to Spain in their final league game in Mexico. The Marcelo Bielsa side finished third with just two points, which isn’t enough for a possible qualification for the Round of 32. Draws against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde had already put the two-time world champions under pressure before the decisive loss, which raised multiple questions now.  While individual mistakes proved costly, Uruguay's elimination was also shaped by controversial selection decisions, tactical shortcomings and growing unrest within the squad. 1. Bielsa's selection gamble backfires…
