The big moments at Stake this week
Spain vs Argentina: the final we all wanted
The semi-finals delivered. Spain produced a masterclass to beat France 2-0, while Argentina came from a goal down to beat England 2-1 with a stoppage time winner that broke English hearts. That sets up a dream final between the European champions and the defending world champions on Sunday, with France and England meeting in the third place match on Saturday. Every market is live on our 2026 international football tournament page, and our international football predictions blog has the full breakdown of both matches.
Sinner and Noskova reign at Wimbledon
Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon title on Sunday, holding off the challenge on Centre Court to cement his place at the top of the men's game. In the women's draw, Linda Noskova claimed her first Grand Slam title in a breakthrough fortnight. Two champions, two very different stories!
Holloway finishes the story at UFC 329
Max Holloway beat Conor McGregor in their long awaited rematch, settling a rivalry that started more than a decade ago. The BMF champ was simply too sharp on the night, and McGregor's comeback fell short in front of a packed Las Vegas crowd. Catch up on what comes next in our UFC picks blog.
