Day two of the FIFA World Cup belonged to a co-host clinging on. Canada drew 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina after Jovo Lukic had headed Bosnia in front from a corner. Substitute Cyle Larin equalised in the 78th minute to spare Jesse Marsch's side an opening-night defeat in BMO Field, leaving Group B finely poised before the second round of fixtures. The late nightcap pitted USA against Paraguay in Group C, the Stars and Stripes carrying real pressure on home soil.
Friday's domestic action came from Sandown, with the Coral Charity Day card serving up plenty of competitive handicap heat ahead of today's televised treble of meetings. Goodwood's two-year-old maiden produced another smart winner for the Gosden yard, and trainers were largely focused on declarations for Saturday's ITV Racing triple-header.
At Queen's Club, 18-year-old American Iva Jovic stunned second seed Amanda Anisimova to become the first player into the semi-finals of the women's HSBC Championships. On the football front, the day was dominated by Marcus Rashford's loan saga at Barcelona, with reports that the Catalans will not trigger the €30m purchase option before its expiry — pushing the England forward towards a return to Old Trafford after the World Cup.
It is a four-game World Cup card with the standout being Brazil v Morocco at MetLife Stadium, kicking off at . Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil are clear favourites against a Moroccan side that reached the last four in 2022 and remain unbeaten in their last five. Earlier, Qatar v Switzerland opens proceedings at in Santa Clara.
Scotland's first World Cup match since 1998 is the one for the tartan diaspora — Haiti v Scotland in Foxborough kicks off at on Sunday morning. Steve Clarke's side face four-time semi-finalists Brazil and Morocco in the group, so points against Haiti are essential. The night closes with Australia v Türkiye in Vancouver at .
The summer Saturday flagship comes from three tracks. At York, the feature is the William Hill Stakes at , with First Legion and Thunder Call heading the market. The John Smith's Cup trial sees last year's winner Al Qareem bid for back-to-back successes. Sandown's card peaks with the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard at , while Chester stages a competitive Listed two-year-old contest at .
The women's semi-finals at the HSBC Championships, Queen's Club feature breakout teen Iva Jovic, with play from . Up at Hove, England Women v India Women continue their T20I series with the third match getting under way at , Heather Knight's side looking to take an unassailable lead.
Selection: Hot Cash to win the Brigadier Gerard Stakes. Reasoning: Highlighted by Racing Post's Phill Anderson at a juicy double-figure price, Hot Cash steps up in grade off the back of a smart Group 3 effort. The flatter Sandown ten-furlong trip plays to a tactical, hold-up run style. With the favourites short and the race looking open, 12/1 is generous each-way value.
Selection: Bobby Bennu to win the William Hill Hambleton Handicap. Reasoning: Andy Newton's headline call. He shaped well behind a tough handicapper at Chester last time and is now 1lb lower in the weights. The Knavesmire's wide, galloping mile suits his late-burst style and Tom Marquand books a meaningful claim. Each-way punters should take the four places on offer.
Selection: Under 2.5 goals in Brazil v Morocco. Reasoning: Group-stage openers between heavyweights routinely tighten up. Morocco are unbeaten in their last five and were the most defensively disciplined side at Qatar 2022, while Brazil under Ancelotti have favoured controlled possession over open exchanges. With Brazil short at 4/7 (bet365) on the win market, the totals line looks the more efficient angle.
Selection: Scotland to win and both teams to score. Reasoning: Scotland's defensive structure is built on transition not lock-down, and Haiti's Duckens Nazon-led front line will create a chance. Clarke's group needs a positive result, John McGinn and Ben Doak should provide the goals at the other end. A neat each-way alternative to the short outright price about a Scotland win (10/11 with Coral).
Selection: Iva Jovic to lift the Queen's Club title. Reasoning: The 18-year-old American beat second seed Anisimova in the quarters and has not dropped serve in four matches. With the top seeds out of her half of the draw, she is the form pick of the remaining four. Confidence and clean ball-striking on a faster grass court give her an edge over the heavier hitters.
Fabrizio Romano confirms Barcelona will not pay the €30m permanent clause for Marcus Rashford, which expires in days. The Catalans have asked Manchester United about extending the loan for another season; if no agreement is struck, Rashford will return to Old Trafford after the World Cup, with United owed a small €5m penalty for non-execution of the option.
Trabzonspor are in advanced talks to make goalkeeper André Onana's move permanent following last season's loan in Turkey. Senne Lammens is the long-term gloves at United, and the Cameroon international's wage profile makes a clean break appealing to both clubs.
Spanish reporting has Real Madrid in advanced negotiations with Bernardo Silva, available on a free this summer with his Manchester City deal expiring. Pep Guardiola is on record as wanting him to stay, but Xabi Alonso's project, plus a lucrative four-year contract, is said to be tilting the Portuguese towards Spain.
Steve Clarke confirmed a clean bill of health from his Foxborough training session. John McGinn trained fully after a tight calf scare earlier in the week, while Lewis Ferguson is expected to start in central midfield. Goalkeeper Angus Gunn is preferred over Craig Gordon for the opener against Haiti.
