The Washington Capitals Stanley Cup celebration is hitting the ground running, and made its way to Nationals Park on Saturday.

Eric Hosmer is known for hitting the ball hard and Dan Straily got in the way of one of his potent line drives.

Los Angeles finished last season with a 42-40 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010-11.

Denmark are heading into the World Cup on a high after their difficulties in front of goal were ended by Yussuf Poulsen against Mexico.

England have been involved in some eventful matches since Eddie Jones took over as their head coach two and a half years ago but none as spectacular as this. In a breathless contest they had initially dominated, the visitors were thrillingly overhauled by a youthful South African side who conjured one of the more stunning comebacks of the modern era.

The game had appeared to be all over inside the opening quarter as England stormed into a 24-3 lead thanks to three quick-fire tries from Mike Brown, Elliot Daly and Owen Farrell, all converted by Farrell, plus a monster 61-metre penalty from Daly. It proved to be a mirage as the Springboks came roaring back to condemn Jones’s side to their fourth successive Test defeat.

Eoin Morgan has poured cold water on Jofra Archer making his World Cup squad next summer should the highly rated fast bowler’s England qualification be fast-tracked.

Archer was born in Barbados but despite holding a British passport is midway through a seven-year wait to become eligible for selection. The 23-year-old, who plays for Sussex, will be available in 2022 provided he is in the UK for 210 days each year between now and then.

Four years ago, Argentina managed to play seven games at a World Cup for the first time since Italia 90, but lost the final to Germany in extra-time. For a country twice world champions, proud exporters of football talent, it was not without frustration that even staying in the tournament past the quarter-finals had become an elusive task. For a short while after the last World Cup, then, Argentina’s success in keeping the nation enthralled until the very last minute was praised, a cause for celebration. And one player in particular became the viral pin-up hero of the day: Javier Mascherano.

“It was a unique experience because we had never lived or experienced anything like what happened in 2014 – it was spectacular,” an older, wiser Mascherano tells me when we meet in Spain for Argentina’s warm-up tour. “The World Cup itself sets the pace and indicates what we can and can’t do: we changed the way we played, the system, as we went along, but always with total clarity about what we were doing. That was what led us to the final. The conviction of our idea, of doing things in a certain way, up to the very last minute. And if you look back I think it was Argentina’s best match in years.”
