Spain’s metronome: the statistics behind Rodri’s superb World Cup campaign
Midfielder’s supreme passing was too much for Argentina to handle in the final but his work without the ball proved just as crucial
Rodri is back to his best after multiple injury problems. The former Ballon d’Or winner has started only 22 games since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in September 2024 but you would have no idea from his performances at the World Cup that he had suffered so badly in the previous two years.
The 30-year-old was already leading several statistical categories coming into the final on Sunday. He pushed them higher than perhaps even Luis de la Fuente could have hoped. sportnewz.click

When news broke that former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell was arrested in Canton on a warrant from Michigan, there were no details as to the underlying reason for the move. Via Aaron Hughes of the Canton Repository, the arrest happened due to allegedly unpaid child support.
Bell's lawyer, Thomas Shaffer, told Hughes that Bell's support payments "inaccurately" reflect his NFL salary.
"Six months ago he cashed in an NFL pension to pay $50,000 in child support for that child," Shaffer told Hughes. "His guidelines are still inaccurately being deemed based on his NFL salary and his professional boxing career. This is a revolving door because he pays a number that doesn't reflect his true income. The issue will never end. The court needs to reflect his true income."
That's fine, but Bell's NFL salary ended five years ago. He's surely not the first person with child-support obligations who had a significant reduction in his income. Whatever the solution, it should have been solved long before Bell was arrested for not paying amounts based on his income from five years ago.

DeChambeau moves the dial for golf but is his posturing and pantomime worth the hassle? | Ewan Murray
Petulant reaction to a justified two-stroke penalty at the Open illustrates why the American is happier on the LIV tour
The potential for stigma was laid bare close to the conclusion of Saturday at the Open Championship. “Bryson, ya cheat,” a lone voice bellowed from the stand adjacent to Royal Birkdale’s 18th green. This is an environment in which being unfaithful to one’s spouse would be seen as preferable to breaching the sacred rules of a sacred game.
By Sunday the world No 1, Scottie Scheffler, was riding to the defence of Bryson DeChambeau. “I’ve known him for a long time and he’s a lot of things, but he’s definitely not a cheater,” Scheffler said. Except in this case, nuance is required. No one in authority has actually accused DeChambeau of cheating for the incident which incurred a two-stroke penalty. The R&A’s executive director of governance stipulated that DeChambeau’s action when breaching the rules during round two was “accidental”.
