Fourteenth and final World Cup commentary of this tournament for me and @landondonovan on Saturday in Kansas City…. Argentina and Messi in their adopted city against Switzerland , aiming for a first ever semi. Very much enjoyed another trip to USA and thanks for watching.
SHOHEI OHTANI UPDATE LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start on the mound this evening against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to continued irritation in his left knee. He will serve as the designated hitter the rest of the weekend, but following the series against the Diamondbacks he will have some interventions on his knee to put him in the best position for the second half of the season. Unfortunately, due to these events, he will not be able to travel to Philadelphia and participate in the 2026 All-Star Game.
