NEED TO CATCH up? TheScore.ie brings you a round-up of today’s sports news…
World Cup
Argentina were pushed all the way through 118 goalless minutes by Switzerland until Angel Di Maria popped up and sent South Americans into the quarter-finals.
Here’s hoping for better football on offer tonight. The Americans are pumped anyway.
Home
Roy Keane was confirmed as the new assistant manager at Aston Villa, he’ll combine it with his role with Ireland.
Kerry under 21s will be managed by Darragh Ó Sé and not Pat Spillane.
Armagh’s Ciaran McKeever is taking his talents to North Dublin.
Richie Towell scored twice as Dundalk defeated Jeunesse Esch in the first qualifying round of the Europa League.
Away
Rafa Nadal and Maria Sharapova both crashed out of the Singles tournament at Wimbledon today.
Serena Williams appeared disorientated before and during three games of her doubles match with sister Venus and was forced to retire.
Chelsea have agreed a €40 million fee with Atletico Madrid for Diego Costa.
Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony could combine their talents under the Phoenix Suns’ banner.
The best thing we shared
After yesterday’s epic arm-folding action, you’d be amazed at the reasons some footballers get into a strop with you. Have a go and witness all the footballers you thought you’d forgotten about halfway through the group stage.
Where we were today
Eamon O’Donoghue went to speak to Jack Guiney and Cian O’Callaghan ahead of the under 21 Leinster hurling final. You can read what they had to say tomorrow.
On the record
“If David Humphreys was still at Ulster, there’s no doubt Mark Anscombe would still be here.”
A source in Ulster tries to make some sense of the goings on in the northern province.
The Fixture list
There’s no World Cup…. but that doesn’t mean that sport takes a day off. Cork meet Kerry in the Munster junior football final (Tralee, 7.30pm).
The quarter-finals in both the men’s and women’s draw at Wimbledon get under way. Andy Murray faces Gregor Dimitrov, Roger Federer meets Stan Wawrinka, Sabine Lisicki meets Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber takes on Eugenie Bouchard.
Showbiz, Baby
If you’re going to unleash a shot this ridiculously good, you might as well go ahead and beat Rafa Nadal while you’re at it.
“That waffle pun was completely unintended.”
Oisin is one of the stars of the future. Great win for Cashel. I’ve never seen this happen before.
