The World Cup provided the day’s sharpest drama, with the United States beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 to reach the last 16 for the first time in 24 years, but at a cost. Folarin Balogun opened the scoring, then became the story after a controversial straight red card following a VAR review, a decision that stands and rules him out of the next match against Belgium. Malik Tillman’s late free kick sealed the win, even as debate over Balogun’s dismissal raged on. Spain moved through more serenely, dispatching Austria 3-0 behind a Mikel Oyarzabal brace and a Pedro Porro header in a commanding display that underlined their attacking depth. Away from football, Wimbledon got a royal flourish as the Princess of Wales made a surprise visit to the famous Queue, greeting fans before taking in the tennis.
