There were echoes of the 2018 World Cup semi-final against Croatia and England’s two European Championship final defeats under Gareth Southgate. They found themselves in a promising position, retreated into their shell and invited the opposition onto them.Thomas Tuchel was supposed to make the difference, but this could almost have been a replay of a Southgate-era defeat, such was the sense of deja vu.Yesterday, Spain continued attacking after taking the lead against France.

Sean O’Malley isn’t so sure what would happen if the UFC brass offers him a bout with ex-teammate Mario Bautista. O’Malley was in his home watching the UFC 329 broadcast live. While Conor McGregor’s injury was the top story coming out of the show, there were major implications with one bout in O’Malley’s division.
