Real Madrid midfielder Isco’s first goal, on his first international start, was the standout moment as Spain cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Belarus in Huelva on Saturday.

All week his assertions were met with a certain amount of skepticism by those who heard them. Not any more.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland — A popular line this week at the Ryder Cup is that the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles is the fourth best golf course in Auchterarder. The joke, of course, is that there are only four golf courses in Auchterarder.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland—The Ryder Cup has never been anything other than brilliantly unpredictable—Medinah reminded us all of that—but, even with that being established fact, on Friday it seemed to be going out of its way just to be contrary. For a while the world seemed to be upside-down. In the opening fourballs session the two twenty-something American rookies, Jordan Spieth and Patrick...

The news, announced on Friday, that Wembley Stadium will host the semi-finals and final of the 2020 European Championships should not come as a significant surprise. Wembley is one of the biggest and best modern stadiums in Europe, if not the world. Its combination of capacity, infrastructure and travel links made it an almost unrivalled candidate for the showpiece as soon as UEFA, the competition...
