- Senegal has sacked coach Pape Thiaw and his entire technical staff after the team’s World Cup exit in the round of 32.
- The elimination was dramatic — Senegal led Belgium 2-0 with about five minutes left in regulation but still went out.
- Earlier this year they won a continental title that was later overturned, and the federation has appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- A judge set a non‑negotiated plea and sentencing hearing for Colt Gray (now 16) to begin July 24 in the September 2024 Apalachee High School shooting case.
- Gray faces multiple counts including murder; a non‑negotiated plea means there’s no plea deal and the judge — not prosecutors and defense — will decide the sentence.
- Gray’s father was convicted earlier this year for supplying the assault‑style rifle used in the attack and is scheduled for sentencing later this month.
- The sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham kicks off a sprint to replace him on the November ballot — state law points to a special primary on Aug. 11 (possible Aug. 25 runoff) with candidate filing in late July; the winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews.
- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster can appoint a temporary replacement, and because he’s a Republican that appointment should keep the Senate’s GOP majority intact.
- Graham’s absence removes a high‑profile voice on major issues — from budget reconciliation and extra defense funding to Judiciary Committee matters — which could complicate key votes in the short term.
- Scheduled rest day — no World Cup matches today as the tournament pauses between quarterfinals and semifinals.
- Semifinals set: France (Mbappé) vs Spain in Dallas Tuesday; Argentina (Messi) vs England in Atlanta Wednesday.
- Key storylines: Mbappé and Messi headline the semis (both tied atop the Golden Boot race) and England’s Kane/Bellingham are in form — both games on FOX/FOX One.
- Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (R–South Carolina), 71, has died.
- Emergency responders were called to his Washington home after a reported cardiac arrest.
- His family said his death followed a "brief and sudden illness."
- Racing is as mental as it is physical — drivers battle the “yips,” work with mental coaches to reset instantly after mistakes, and rely on tight-knit teams to bounce back.
- Mid-Ohio showed how brutal heat can be — cockpit temps can hit 120–130°F, so drivers use heat-acclimation training, saunas with cognitive drills, cooling vests and strict hydration plans.
- Big lineup shake-up brewing: Scott Dixon (and Felix Rosenqvist) to McLaren opens coveted seats, Christian Lundgaard is the hottest free agent, with Rinus VeeKay and rookie Caio Collet also in the mix for 2027.
