Eight saves, many of them excellent. Good distribution. And a man of the match performance. If timing is everything, Scott Bain may just have played his way into the forefront of the new Scotland head coach's thinking.
Sebastien Pocognoli will soon be announcing his first squad for the forthcoming Nations League games.
With the retirement of Craig Gordon and the lack of recent first-team minutes for Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly - the other two World Cup squad goalkeepers - is Bain the obvious answer to Pocognoli's potential problem?
On the evidence of his display against Dundee United on Saturday - without which his side may well have been beaten given the number of chances United created - he'll be very unlucky not to be recalled to the international fold.
Unsurprisingly, Bain's manager John McGlynn was happy to sing his praises.

Austin FC is at least keeping the end of its MLS season interesting.
For the second straight week, the Verde and Black pulled out points in the match's final moments, this time using Guilherme Biro's goal to earn a 1-1 draw Saturday with the San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium.
And while Austin FC is still five points out of the ninth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with two months and 11 contests to go, it turned in another solid performance that indicates it should be in every match the rest of the way.
Here are four key takeaways from the contest as Austin FC (6-10-7, 25 points, 14th West) has a quick turnaround with a Wednesday home match against Colorado.
Credit has to be given to Brandon Vazquez and Christian Ramírez for their short passes in the box that eventually got the ball to him, but Biro was the one who put the ball past Earthquakes goalie Angus Gunn from a tough angle. Gunn had been brilliant most of the night, but in the sixth minute of stoppage time and one of the final kicks of the game, Biro came through in the clutch.

DUBAI, Sept 3 (Reuters) - A U.S. campaign to throttle Iran's economy by blockading its oil exports and stopping sanctions evasion is growing increasingly difficult to withstand, three senior Iranian sources said.
Washington has in recent weeks sought to ratchet up the economic pressure on Tehran, in an effort to extract concessions in any future negotiation that six months ‌of conflict have so far failed to secure.
Although Iran's clerical rulers managed to bypass sanctions for decades, the latest U.S. moves have left them in a far more sensitive position, with few remaining ‌channels to secure foreign currency or buy goods, the sources said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is pressing the Army to explain why it told a unit based in Europe to stop specializing in drone warfare, an order that comes as the world's battlefields rapidly evolve and military tactics increasingly rely on uncrewed systems to fight.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade was building its own drones and practicing the kind of warfare that Ukraine has pioneered against Russia and that Iran has fought against the U.S. — warfare that has killed and wounded American troops. The brigade of 600 soldiers was set up in November to be deployed anywhere that drones were needed.
"We have deep concerns that eliminating this specialized drone unit will limit our ability to learn from allies, particularly the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and hinder our efforts to modernize drone warfare at the speed necessary to compete on the modern battlefield," the lawmakers said in a letter shared with The ****** ociated Press.
It requests a briefing from the Army to explain its decision and was sent Tuesday to departing Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Gen. Christopher LaNeve, the Army's acting chief of staff. It was signed by Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, independent Sen. Angus King of Maine and Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio.
"This specialized unit was a prudent response in a moment when the character of warfare is changing faster than a conventional formation's ability to adapt," the lawmakers say.

Everton have agreed a deal for Jack Grealish to return to the club on a season-long loan from Manchester City while striker Beto has joined Serie A club Fiorentina in a £14.58m move.
Grealish, 30, is set for a medical at the Toffees, with his switch expected to be completed before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline.
The England international spent a large chunk of last term at Everton under a similar arrangement, scoring twice and providing six ******* ists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.
Grealish had been linked with other teams - including his boyhood club Aston Villa - but his preference was to return to Everton, whose chief executive Angus Kinnear told BBC Radio Merseyside had "remained in contact" with the winger.
Everton have also agreed a £3m deal to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from French side Lyon.

DUBAI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Six months after the airstrikes that began the war and propelled a badly wounded Mojtaba Khamenei into the role of Iran's supreme leader, he remains entirely unseen and unheard by Iranians — a vacuum at the heart of his country's leadership.
Questions over his condition and role are growing increasingly fraught, with Iran facing critical ‌decisions over a war that has set the Middle East aflame while trashing the country's already fragile economy.
Iranian officials and other senior sources in the country say Khamenei remains in control, ruling ‌from the shadows for security reasons as he recovers from disfiguring wounds while delegating broad daily authority to a coterie of top figures.
But with no photograph, video or audio message released since his appointment a week into the war, Iranians are ever more sceptical about his position in an Islamic Republic in which the leader's voice is meant to be absolute.

Fans attending the latest Ultimate Fighting Championship event at Golden 1 Center inSacramento, California, were treated to an action-packed card.

The UFC Sacramento headliner featured a middleweight clash betweenAnthonyHernandez and GregoryRodrigues. The two delivered an entertaining fight, butRodrigues ultimately had his hand raised. In the co-main event,VitorPetrino defeated SergheiSpivac in a heavyweight bout. Although the co-feature did notlive up to expectations, the event produced 10 finishes in 13fights.
Let's examine what could be next for the main-card winners.
Thanks to sharper striking and punishing leg kicks, Rodrigues(20-6, 11-3 UFC) outstruck fellow former Legacy Fighting Alliance ****** leholder Hernandez (15-4, 1 NC; 9-4UFC) in the UFC Sacramento main event. Hernandez rallied in Rounds3 and 4, but "Robocop" did enough to earn a unanimous decision.Rodrigues has won seven of his past eight Octagon appearances.

The next logical step for Rodrigues could be a clash with NassourdineImavov. Both fighters consistently pursue finishes, making thisan appealing matchup. Although Imavov has called for a ****** le shot,he might have to wait with KhamzatChimaev and Dricus DuPlessis also pursuing the championship currently held bySeanStrickland. A victory over Imavov could move Rodrigues close tohis own shot at the middleweight crown.
In the heavyweight co-main event, Petrino (15-2, 8-2 UFC) grappledhis way to a unanimous decision over former World Warriors FightingChampionship ****** leholder Spivac (18-7, 9-7 UFC) in a lacklusteraffair. It was not Petrino's best performance, but the victoryextended his winning streak to four.

The Brazilian continues to climb the rankings in a heavyweightdivision badly in need of new contenders. A matchup with notedfinisher BrandoPericic, who is building momentum of his own, could offer aninteresting test. The pairing would give both men an opportunity toestablish themselves as emerging threats in the division.
Former two-division OneChampionship ****** leholder Reinierde Ridder (22-4, 5-2 UFC) made a successful UFC lightheavyweight debut by defeating RomanDolidze (15-6, 9-6 UFC). De Ridder capitalized on Dolidze'sdecision to pull guard early, overwhelming his opponent on thecanvas by continually advancing position and landing punches.

The end came 4:01 into the first round, when Dolidze could no longer intelligently defend himself as de Ridder poured onstrikes from back control. Although "The Dutch Knight"rebounded from consecutive defeats, the victory came against afellow middleweight competing outside his usual weight class.

To secure a spot in the light heavyweight rankings, de Riddershould next face an established 205-pounder such as BogdanGuskov. Although Guskov lost his most recent ****** ignment, heremains a dangerous opponent who could provide a meaningfultest.

Retaining top talent is a challenge for established Premier League clubs even when they are performing well, Everton chief executive officer Angus Kinnear has said.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Kinnear acknowledged the challenges Everton and clubs of their size face, as he attempts to retain attacker Iliman Ndiaye and re-sign last season's loanee Jack Grealish.
"Our vision is very much that our best players like Ndiaye are retained, play at the club and help us achieve what we all want to achieve," said Kinnear.
"I really hope that at he's with us for many years to come but you've seen at Newcastle, Aston Villa, clubs who are performing well, retaining top talent is challenging and that is a challenge that Everton also face."
Premier League sides are subject to squad cost ratio limits, which means they are limited to spending 85% of their total revenue on their playing staff, while Uefa's limit for clubs playing in Europe is 70%.

Democratic senators are still backing Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson, who replaced former candidate Graham Platner on the ballot, after the latest allegations threaten to yet again shake up the race for U.S. Senate in the Pine Tree State.
Platner, following a series of scandals culminating in ***** ual misconduct claims, was forced to drop out ahead of the Democratic primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, earlier this summer. But now, a bombshell report claims Platner's replacement fathered two children with his second cousin.
The recent report wasn't enough to turn lawmakers against Jackson, with most stressing the necessity for Democrats to win swing state races in order to win back a majority in the upper chamber — not an easy feat in Maine, where Collins, a moderate, has represented the state in the Senate since 1997.
Maine's other senator, independent Angus King, said: "I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm not going to comment on it anyway."
Troy Jackson speaks as he became the Maine Democratic Party's choice to be their U.S. Senate nominee to replace Graham Platner on the ballot in November on July 25, 2026, in Bangor, Maine.

South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus insists the world champions face a "massive challenge" against Argentina on Saturday despite the recent poor form of their opponents.
The Springboks stretched a winning Test run to 11 matches with home victories over England, Scotland and Wales during July in the inaugural Nations Championship.
Facing the same northen hemisphere teams in South America, the Pumas beat Wales, but lost to Scotland, and England in an ill-tempered clash.
Argentina thought they had scored a late try against England, giving them a chance to draw the Test.
When Australian referee Angus Gardner disallowed it after a lengthy review, Pumas fly-half Tomas Albornoz was furious.

#england

Argentina rugby fly half Tomas Albornoz has been banned for four matches after angrily confronting referee Angus Gardner following his side's defeat to England rugby.
The Pumas were contentiously denied a potentially match-tying try in the final minute of the clash in Santiago del Estero, with Bautista Delguy's score ruled out by referee Gardner in consultation with television match official Brett Cronan.
Albornoz had to be restrained by teammates after twice rushing over to Australian official Gardner in the aftermath.
The 28-year-old accepted his conduct, taken as a whole, was intimidatory but did not accept that his actions were abusive, insulting, offensive or threatening – a distinction which was accepted by both World Rugby and the disciplinary committee.
He has therefore been banned for four matches, including this weekend's encounter between Argentina and South Africa in Buenos Aires.

#match

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Argentina flyhalf Tomás Albornoz has been suspended for four matches after admitting to misconduct for "intimidatory" interactions with match officials following the Pumas' Nations Championshiprugby loss against England last month.
England won 31-24, holding on despite twice being reduced to 13 men. The referee issued seven yellow cards during the July 18 match and both teams were reduced to 13 at stages in the second half at Santiago del Estero, Argentina.
The committee on Wednesday said that contact with referee Angus Gardner, "although limited in nature, occurred while disputing a match official's decision and formed part of that overall course of intimidatory conduct."
It also found that Albornoz approached the referee on two separate occasions and had to be restrained by teammates.
Although the offense could carry a six-match suspension, the committee took into account Albornoz's early acceptance of the charge, private written apologies and his previously clear disciplinary record to reduce the ban to four games.

Vanessa Drozda is still ******* med over missing out on a chance as a child to be in the Grand Parade during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival.
The Stark County native and "Age of Attraction" reality television star was 7 years old when she misunderstood her aunt's invitation to carry a banner during the big parade.
"My uncle was on the Hall of Fame committee at the time," recalled Drozda, 51. "I misunderstood and thought (my aunt) meant play in the marching band, so I said, 'No way!"' thinking I don't how to play an instrument.
"Then, as I attended the parade and saw my little cousin carrying the banner instead, I was so upset because I realized I'd passed up on an awesome opportunity. I remember thinking I'd blown my only chance to ever be part of the parade."
But Drozda will get a do-over of sorts when she rides in a convertible in the Grand Parade presented by Certified Angus Beef on Aug. 8.

With those official sources for picks handled, we wouldlike to take the edge off here and get a bit lighter with one finalbreakdown.

The industry of sports betting is exploding before our very eyes,with billions of dollars pumping in since legalization stateside.Oftentimes, those driving the lines are right on the money withtheir openings, valuations and ***** yses. Occasionally, they are wayoff, or otherwise merit some additional conversation. That is wherewe come in with this reinvigorated series of Prime Picks, where,swiping a line from game show host Sam Reich, we hold hands andjump into the abyss together for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's maiden voyageto Serbia on Saturday. Try it out.
JanBlachowicz (+260)
OR
MarcinTybura (+280)
Why Not Both Total: (+1268)

First off, we are not suggesting that one should go out on a limbfor both Blachowicz and Tybura, but rather that one should choosetheir poison. The most daring, optimistic bettors might be temptedto throw a few bucks on the flier, but we see that as just a way topad the betting company's bank account. One or the other, however,could pull off the upset as elder statesmen in their respectivedivisions of light heavyweight and heavyweight. The "fightinguncle" movement is still very much in play.

Having turned 43 in February, former champ Blachowicz isunquestionably on the tail end of his UFC career. The last time hewon a fight, GloverTeixeira held the belt in their weight class and future starPaddyPimblett just picked up his second win under the UFC banner.There is an age cliff that every athlete encounters, and thatincludes Yoel Romeroeven as he draws Darren Tillsoon without gloves on. With that gloom-and-doom surrounding thePolish vet's tenure out in the open, there are still ample ways hecan pick up the win. After all, if a top-10 BogdanGuskov—whom he drew with in December—is the worst loss he hassuffered in that stretch, who is to say how "washed" he is againstburgeoning talent?

Blachowicz is an equal opportunity finisher despite his reputationof "Polish Power," with that expectation looming so large that mostforget he posts an equal number of subs to knockouts. It has notbeen since 2018 that he landed one, and it is not the implicationthat he will put NavajoStirling in danger with offensive submission grappling, butrather that he has demonstrated a wherewithal in the field to addanother wrinkle to his game. Additionally, Blachowicz serves ***** neakily effective takedown artist, practically shutting downIsraelAdesanya in a performance that at the time seemed shockingwhile in hindsight might have been predictable. Blachowicz canspoil the record of the unbeaten upstart in a variety of ways, aslong as he does not keep his chin on the proverbial gunnery rangehoping to s

JanBlachowicz's journey back to ******* le contention has taken anotherunexpected turn.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight ******* leholderwas originally slated to rematch BogdanGuskov at UFC Belgrade on Aug. 1 in Serbia. However, those plans changedwhen Guskov was offered the UFC Abu Dhabi main event spot against MagomedAnkalaev following KhalilRountree's withdrawal.

As such, Blachowicz (29-11-2) will now square off against NavajoStirling in the new co-main event in Belgrade and the Polishveteran is unfazed by the change.
After Guskov accepted the short-notice bout against Ankalaev,Blachowicz was paired with Stirling. The former champion insistslittle has changed in his preparation.

"I am doing this all my life," Blachowicz said in a recentinterview. "It's a new opponent. I have a lot of respect for him,but it's just another fighter who I have to stop. I don't thinkabout this mess around because I don't want to waste energy forthat. Okay, it's a new opponent; that's it. We do small changes andwe are here to win the fight against him, or a different opponentdoesn't matter."

The upcoming matchup gives Blachowicz an opportunity to halt thelongest winless stretch of his UFC tenure. He has gone fourstraight outings without a victory and is coming off a majoritydraw against Guskov this past December. His last win came all theway back in May 2022 when he defeated AleksandarRakic.

He'll have his work cut out for him against the surging Stirling,who boasts a perfect 10-0 record.

To say Angus Doig did not expect to win Commonwealth Games weightlifting bronze would be an understatement.
The 27-year-old firefighter was 27kg behind the leader at halfway in the 88kg category. After making his three clean and jerks he finished around 25kg short of what would normally be considered the mark for a medal.
Perhaps understandably, Doig gathered up his things and headed off to meet his friends and family.
But, one by one, those ahead of him faltered and Doig had to make his way back to the warm-up area. He was there in time to see the decisive failure by South Africa's Will Swart, which ensured he would finish in a remarkable third place.
"When I heard the barbell hit the platform I knew he'd missed it," the Scot, who trains along at his garage in the Peak District of England said. "It's absolutely unbelievable – and here I am back doing more interviews."

BogdanGuskov has addressed his loss to MagomedAnkalaev.

Guskov (18-4-1) stepped up on 14 days' notice to replace KhalilRountree against Ankalaev (21-2-1) in the main event of theUltimate Fighting Championship's recent Fight Night in AbuDhabi. Guskov never quite found momentum as Ankalaev slowly andsteadily picked him apart. The former UFC champion eventually tookthe Uzbek contender down and finished him with ground-and-pound inthe final round.
Guskov apologized to his fans and thanked them for their unwaveringsupport. He vowed to bounce back stronger from his defeat atUFC Abu Dhabi.

"I'm sorry to everyone who believed in me," Guskov wrote on X."That night wasn't my night, but I'm grateful for everyone whostood behind me and supported me through this journey. Thank youfor all the kind words and messages. I'll learn from this, comeback stronger. I'm not done yet."

This was Guskov's first loss since a submission defeat in his UFCdebut in 2023. "Hitman" had bounced back from that result with afour-fight finishing streak before fighting JanBlachowicz to a draw last year.

Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn suffered a nightmare debut for San Jose Earthquakes as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to Orlando City in their first match following Major League Soccer's break for the World Cup.
It was the 30-year-old's first game since his national side failed to qualify for the knockout stages following a 3-0 loss to Brazil in their final group game - and his first club game since coming on as a substitute in Nottingham Forest's 1-1 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace in February.
But, in truth, Gunn could take little blame for any of the goals while also producing a couple of saves that prevented a more painful loss for Bruce Arena's hosts.

MagomedAnkalaev (-575)
MagomedZaynukov (-290)
MagomedTuchalov (-900)

We admit, we're getting away with a technicality here by notincluding MuhammadSaid in our same-name parlay. After all, Magomed is the Russiantransliteration of Muhammad. Also, good luck trying to search thename "Muhammad Said" without any additional qualifiers and stillgarner any information about the fighter of that namesake. All ofthese Magomeds are rightful favorites, and in the case of two ofthe more expected victors of Tuchalov and Ankalaev, moneyline betsare just not worth it.

Therefore, we pair these three gents together, all of whom haveclear paths to victory against foes who have displayed exploitableweaknesses. Some are giving BogdanGuskov a proverbial "puncher's chance" to win this fight,although he might have some surprise jiu-jitsu in his back pocket.Nevertheless, unless Ankalaev chooses to take things horizontal—heis not nearly as keen on doing this despite his reputation, onlydoing so in his first triumphant meeting against AlexPereira. Against "Poatan," he did attempt a clean dozen shots.While he did not land a single one, the mere threat of the takedownallowed him to get in on the stoic striker and do some work. A fewfaked shots against "Hitman," whose takedown defense has alreadycome into question despite his recent successes, would payimmediate dividends.

We get to the meat of the order. More specifically, the pork. JohnPork. "Wild Chanco" Zaynukov, who actually had his nickname onFight Finder as "John Pork" until specifically reaching out torequest that it be taken down. RobertWhittaker didn't have the same problem when Ben Fowlkes andChad Dundas first crowned him "Bobby Knuckles" in the always-great"Co-Main Event Podcast" and it stuck.

Argentina fly half Tomas Albornoz has been charged with misconduct and faces a disciplinary hearing after "remonstrating with match officials" follow his side's defeat to England in Santiago del Estero.
Albornoz was denied a chance to kick for a potential draw after a last-minute try was ruled out by referee Angus Gardner in consultation with television match official (TMO) Brett Cronan.
The officials ruled that Bautista Delguy had grounded the ball simultaneously on the try-line and corner flag, and thus not scored, as England held on for a 31-24 victory.
Albornoz appeared to approach Gardner and his ******* istants aggressively thereafter, and has now been charged by World Rugby under its Match Official Abuse Sanction Process,

The Utah Men’s State Amateur is usually dominated by collegiate golfers. After Thursday’s two rounds of matches, seven collegians have advanced to Friday’s quarterfinals.
It was almost an all-collegiate golfer quarterfinal until Cameron Crawford came from behind to defeat BYU golfer Angus Klintworth on the 19th hole of their match. Crawford played college golf 16 years ago for Dixie State College and is the “old man” of the bunch at age 38.
Leading the way Thursday was defending champion and Arizona State golfer Bowen Mauss, who swept past Brock Sivulich 6 and 5 in the morning round before defeating Aidan Thain 3 and 2 in the afternoon.
He’ll face Layton’s David Liechty, who is transferring from Utah Tech to BYU for the coming season.
Liechty burst onto the local scene three years ago when he made it to the State Am finals. He showed his match play skills again last year when he made it to the semifinals and also qualified for match play at the U.S. Amateur.

Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn has signed for Major League Soccer ***** le hopefuls San Jose Earthquakes after being released by Nottingham Forest.
The 30-year-old, who has 25 caps for his country, has agreed a contract until the end of the 2030 MLS season.
Bruce Arena's side currently sit second in the Western Conference 15 games into the season, only behind Vancouver Whitecaps on goal difference but having played one game more.
They also sit third in the overall table and Gunn has targeted a ***** le challenge.
"It feels incredible to join the Earthquakes," he told the club website. "Coming off the World Cup, which was an unbelievable experience, I'm just really excited and grateful for the opportunity to come to San Jose and show the best version of myself.

Ouster (NASDAQ: OUST) shares jumped by more thab 28% on June 29, extending a multi-week rally that has taken the stock to near $55.
The move follows a stack of newly announced manufacturing and partnership deals tied to the company's Rev8 lidar platform.
Ouster is a San Francisco-based lidar company, founded in 2015 by Angus Pacala and Mark Frichtl, that makes high-resolution digital lidar sensors giving 3D vision to vehicles, robots, drones, and fixed infrastructure like traffic systems.
Year-to-date, the company is up 142%, but on Monday, it rose 28.68% in a single day. Trading volume on the rally days has run several times above Ouster's average. The stock's 52-week high was set in the same stretch at around $54.
The centerpiece of the run is an expanded manufacturing partnership with Benchmark Electronics. Ouster is committed to building more than 100,000 Rev8 OS digital lidar sensors per year over a 10-year horizon, targeting industrial, robotics, automotive, and smart infrastructure customers.

One week after Scotland made their triumphant return to the World Cup, it was time to face 2022 semi-finalists Morocco.
With just 70 seconds, though, many were fearing a hammering after Ismael Saibari's powerful drive lodged in the top corner of Angus Gunn's net.
In the end, a 1-0 defeat is perhaps not the worst outcome. But before attention turns to Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil on Wednesday, lets take a look at the story of the Morocco game through some of the best pictures from the night.

Ismael Saibari's second-minute goal condemned Scotland to a 1-0 World Cup defeat by Morocco in Boston and leaves their hopes of progression from Group C in the balance.
BBC Sport Scotland's George O'Neill ***** sed how the players performed – and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.
Angus Gunn- No chance for Saibari's early goal. Strong saves to deny Achraf Hakimi and Bilal El Khannouss. 6
Nathan Patterson - Off the pace early on and struggled against El Khannouss. One great cross that led to Scotland's best chance of the opening period. 5
Grant Hanley - Caught out for the opening goal trying to play Saibiri offside. A mistake that ultimately proved costly. 4

Morocco took very little time to score the first goal of the match to take a 1-0 lead over Scotland.
With 1:10 elapsed in the match, Ismael Saibari took a pass down the right side from Brahim Díaz and blasted a kick past Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn before the 2' mark. It was the fastest goal scored thus far in the 2026 World Cup.
However, as quickly as Saibari scored, his goal wasn't among the 10 fastest scored in World Cup history. Here are the 10 quickest scores, led by Turkey's Hakan Sukur scoring 11 seconds into its match versus South Korea in 2002.
