'Have faith': Vozinha's mom speaks out as Cape Verde heads back to World Cup field

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Sunday is Father's Day. Except, perhaps, for Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha.

The feel-good story of the World Cup will be back on the field Sunday, when Cape Verde takes on Uruguay in the second group-stage match for both teams. And Vozinha — whose name is Josimar José Évora Dias — will have his mother in the stands for that match; she was unable to attend Cape Verde's stunning opening draw against Spain because she couldn't obtain a visa.

Ana Candida Evora is here now, though — making Cape Verde's story even better.

France restricts public drinking and outdoor sports as heat wave bakes parts of Europe

PARIS (AP) — France sizzled Sunday, canceling trains, concerts and sports events and cracking down on public drinking as an exceptional heat wave unfurled across parts of Europe. Multiple drownings were reported as people sought relief in whatever water they could find.

Their choice is between businessman and lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda, a lawmaker and heir to the political movement of outgoing President Gustavo Petro, the nation’s first leftist leader. The two defeated nine other contenders in a May 31 vote.

Both are pitching strategies that they say... Read More

Wyndham Clark chases another US Open title barring another Sunday surprise at Shinnecock

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Two winners could emerge at the U.S. Open barring any Sunday surprises at Shinnecock Hills.

That starts with Wyndham Clark, who went into the final round with a six-shot lead. No one has ever lost a 54-hole lead that large in U.S. Open history, and the last time anyone failed to win this major with a five-shot lead happened 107 years ago.

The other winner might be the USGA.
