Daily Recap

Sunday, 12 July 2026

Sport delivered drama on every surface Sunday, with England and Argentina grinding through extra time to set up a blockbuster World Cup semi-final. Jude Bellingham was the day’s defining figure, scoring twice in England’s 2-1 win over Norway in Miami, then pushing back after coach Thomas Tuchel called the performance “lucky,” exposing a hint of tension inside a winning camp. Argentina, meanwhile, wore down 10-man Switzerland 3-1, Julian Alvarez breaking the deadlock late in extra time before Lautaro Martinez sealed it. At Wimbledon, Jannik Sinner confirmed his authority on grass, defending his title by beating Alexander Zverev in four sets after dropping the opener, a composed comeback that delivered a fifth Grand Slam crown. And in the UFC, Conor McGregor’s much-hyped return ended almost before it began, a knee injury after just 69 seconds handing Max Holloway a swift stoppage win.
