Mbappe’s World Cup Dream Shatters in Spain

As sports fans moved between BD Cricket and the World Cup semifinal, the defining image arrived in the 86th minute. Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon bent down to collect the ball when Kylian Mbappe charged toward him like a trapped animal hitting a cage. His shoulder struck the goalkeeper, the whistle sounded, and a yellow card followed. France were already 2-0 down, with their attack trapped by Spain almost all night.

Infantino Decision Unites the Football World

From the World Cup reporting front line, a BD Cricket perspective on global sport only makes the shock feel sharper, because the strongest impression over the past few days has not been the tension of the knockout stage, nor the sadness of watching Cristiano Ronaldo bow out after six World Cups, but a rules earthquake that has shaken football like never before.
