Gary Lineker highlights that England should have had a penalty — Harry Kane was clearly fouled by the DR Congo goalkeeper going through on goal — and that VAR had a terrible day with three poor decisions across the tournament's games. Joe Cole breaks it down precisely: the goalkeeper came off his line, was in no man's land, Kane knocked it past him and then simply slowed to wait, at which point the keeper's outstretched hand clipped him.

Rico Verhoeven dominated approximately 10 of 12 rounds against undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk before a controversial post-bell stoppage.

Glory Kickboxing uses 5 judges rather than boxing's 3, which Joe Rogan argues reduces the chance of a corrupt or incompetent minority swinging the result.
