This week on Yesterday in Sports:

On this episode of Yesterday in Sports, Chris Horwedel recaps a loaded day across the World Cup, WNBA, MLB, NBA rumors, Wimbledon, and women’s cricket. The show opens with Portugal surviving a chaotic World Cup knockout match against Croatia, as Gonçalo Ramos scores a stoppage-time winner after Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty made him the oldest player ever to score in a World Cup knockout match. Chris breaks down the VAR drama, Croatia’s late heartbreak, and Portugal’s upcoming Round of 16 showdown with Spain.

Spain also advances with one of its cleanest performances of the tournament, beating Austria 3-0 behind two goals from Mikel Oyarzabal, another from Pedro Porro, and a defensive performance that kept Austria without a shot on target. Switzerland makes history as well, beating Algeria 2-0 for its first World Cup knockout win since 1938, ending an 88-year drought behind goals from Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye.

In the WNBA, Paige Bueckers delivers a major homecoming performance in Connecticut, scoring 25 points with 7 assists and 7 rebounds as the Dallas Wings beat the Sun. Chris also covers Azzi Fudd’s late basket, the Wings’ title and MVP context from oddsmakers, and the Washington Mystics upsetting the Atlanta Dream behind Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen.

The episode also covers the Dodgers beating the Padres and maintaining their place as World Series favorites, the Cardinals’ win over the Braves, the Rangers beating the Tigers, and why Tarik Skubal remains one of the biggest potential MLB trade-deadline names. In the NBA rumor section, Chris highlights Anfernee Simons reportedly joining the 76ers after the Jaylen Brown trade and LeBron James’ possible destinations. The show closes with Wimbledon updates on Iga Świątek, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, and England reaching the Women’s T20 World Cup final.
