Norway and France each have six points from two matches heading into their Group I finale on Friday in Boston. France lead on goal difference, meaning they need just a draw to take first place in the group.

Well I was about to write that Senegal are still pushing Norway in the eight minutes of added time left. And they’ve just gone and scored! It’s not over yet in New Jersey.
Allow me to return to Messi briefly. Despite missing a penalty in the 9th minute, the Argentinian captain quickly turned things around to score his 17th World Cup goal later in the first half, passing Miroslav Klose’s goals record.

Keir Starmer’s resignation after less than two years in office leads every major paper on Tuesday, but across many front pages, images of the prime minister’s exit are relegated to second place, with the focus already turning to Andy Burnham the newly elected MP for Makerfield and leader-in-waiting.
The Guardian leads with an image of Starmer delivering his resignation speech, accompanied by the headline “Starmer bows out … as Burnham sweeps in”.

Despite an interruption of over two hours after a chain of severe thunderstorms disrupted play at Philadelphia Stadium, France brushed past the physical challenge of Iraq, and furthered Kylian Mbappé’s personal duel with Lionel Messi in the process.
The France captain got another two goals on the night, the first a rip-snorter from outside the box after a period of dominance, the second a tap in after disastrous defending from Iraq. Ousmane Dembélé got the third, his first goal at a major tournament, while Didier Deschamps, who had already made three changes to keep his side fresh, was also able to retire Dembélé and Michael Olise on the hour, preserving them for more taxing contests.

Ukraine may revise its ceasefire offer to Russia if the UN security council fails to pass a resolution urging a full and unconditional end to the hostilities, Kyiv’s envoy to the UN has warned. Ukraine had changed the dynamic in the war with recent strikes, said Andrii Melnyk, adding that some 40% of Russia’s oil refineries had been damaged.
Melnyk told a security council session that Ukraine stoody ready for direct negotiations with Russia but “our patience is not endless”. “If the security council would further choose a wait-and-see approach, I cannot exclude that Ukraine may recalibrate and modify its offer. Ceasefire along the de facto front line is already a great compromise.”
The envoy’s statement reflects growing confidence that Ukraine’s war effort is on the front foot, with Russian cities starved of fuel supplies and a “middle strike” campaign seriously disrupting supply lines to Moscow’s occupying forces. The campaign’s success has prompted Russian-held Crimea to halt civilian gasoline sales, Pjotr Sauer writes. All summer camps in illegally annexed Crimea on Monday stopped accepting children and new bookings until 1 September for security reasons, said Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of the illegally occupied peninsula. Aviation authorities temporarily closed Moscow’s four airports on Monday as air defences battled a wave of Ukrainian drones.
Ukraine’s military said it hit a plant producing electronics for missiles in Russia’s border Voronezh region on Monday and the Russian region’s governor said five people were killed and dozens injured in the attack. The Ukrainian general staff said precision air-launched cruise missiles hit the facility, which it described as a “critical component” in Russia’s defence production, making parts for missiles including the Iskander.
Russia’s Dubna satellite communications centre in the Moscow region was also hit, the Ukrainian general staff said. Russia’s state-run Tass news agency reported “a massive drone attack by the Ukrainian armed forces”. A top Ukrainian drone maker, General Cherry, meanwhile said that one of its factories had been hit – a rare disclosure.
In the early hours of Tuesday the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was put on air raid alert as authorities told people to seek shelter. Two people sought medical help after Russian forces struck the south-eastern region of Zaporizhzhia, said the governor, Ivan Fedorov. Three more people were wounded in Sumy, in the north, late on Monday, emergency services said. A drone attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv left one woman wounded, said the mayor, Ihor Terekhov.
Earlier a Russian drone strike on Sumy in north-eastern Ukraine killed three members of one family, including a 13-year-old boy. “Their home was destroyed,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president. “An ordinary home – not a military target whatsoever.” The attack also wounded two others, regional military head Oleh Hryhorov said on Monday.
A Russian nighttime drone strike also killed a woman and wounded three people, including an 11-year-old boy, in the south-eastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, regional head Ivan Fedorov said on Monday. Russia has continuously targeted Ukrainian civilian areas with drones and missiles, and the UN reports more than 16,000 civilian deaths in the war. Recent attacks have increased civilian casualties, with May seeing the highest monthly total since April 2022: at least 274 civilians killed and 1,763 injured.
A Russian drone attack hit a ship in the Black Sea, starting a fire and killing its Egyptian cook, said the Ukrainian deputy prime minister Oleksii Kuleba. Eight other sailors, including citizens of Turkey and India, abandoned ship on a life raft while the vessel “sustained significant damage and lost seaworthiness”, Kuleba said.

Microsoft has accidentally introduced a bug in Outlook for Mac that omits the original message from email replies, making it difficult for recipients to follow conversation history. Until Microsoft releases a fix, its suggested workaround is to roll back from version 16.110 and disable automatic updates, which is "great for users in full control of their devices -- not so good for anyone with a managed device," notes The Register. "Administrators with fleets of Macs running Outlook should brace for helpdesk tickets." From the report: In some instances, having a user copy and paste the salient bits of the email they are responding to might not be such a bad thing. We've all had emails that required epic amounts of scrolling to find what started the conversation, so forcing users to think about what they actually need to include is no bad thing. However, disrupting user workflows without warning -- well, that is undoubtedly a bad thing.
This is, after all, one of the most basic things an email client needs to do, so shipping a product with a bug that breaks this functionality says more about Microsoft's approach to quality than anything else.

PARIJS (ANP/AFP) - De Franse presentatrice France Pierron is de komende weken niet meer te zien in het sportprogramma L'Équipe de Choc. Volgens de Franse krant Le Parisien moet ze ook op gesprek komen bij personeelszaken na haar opmerkingen over de Belgische voetballer Jérémy Doku in een tv-uitzending eerder deze maand.
De 44-jarige Pierron uitte in het programma felle kritiek op Doku, die zijn deelname aan het WK wilde onderbreken om bij de bevalling van zijn vrouw te zijn. Pierron zei dat de vader "een bijrol" speelt bij een bevalling, een "walgelijk moment", volgens haar. "Er zijn honderden voetballers die jouw plek op het WK zouden willen innemen, terwijl de baby er altijd zal zijn", zei Pierron.
Een fragment van de uitzending ging viral op sociale media. L'Équipe liet zondagavond in een persbericht weten afstand te nemen van de uitspraken "die veel kijkers geschokt hebben" en bood excuses aan. Maandag was ze niet meer te zien als presentatrice.
Doku heeft niet op de rel gereageerd. Zijn vrouw is inmiddels in Londen bevallen van hun zoon Praise. De WK-speler was daar met toestemming van de Rode Duivels bij aanwezig, schreef de ploeg maandag op Instagram. De aanvaller van Manchester City keert terug naar Seattle voor de voorbereidingen op het volgende WK-duel van België tegen Nieuw-Zeeland, komende zaterdag.
