World Cup 2022 highlights: Japan upsets Spain, 2-1
The 2022 FIFA World Cup continued Thursday on FOX with all eyes on Group E, as Japan (2-0-1) handed Spain (1-1-1) its first loss of the tournament at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar
Japan advanced to the knockout stages with the victory, and Japan has won its group for the first time since 2002.
Elsewhere, on FS1, Germany (1-1-1) took down Costa Rica (1-0-2) in the tournament’s final Group E match.
Here are the top plays!
Japan 2, Spain 1
8′: What could have been
Japan was this close to getting on the board first, but Junya Ito’s early attempt missed just to the right.
12′: Goal!
Minutes later, Álvaro Morata’s header put Spain on top early, 1-0.
35′: Battling
Both teams continued to battle as the first half winded down, but Spain continued to control the game.
Japan’s Ko Itakura, Shogo Taniguchi and Maya Yoshida all picked up yellow cards ahead of halftime.
48′: Knotted up
Ritsu Doan came out strong for Japan, evening things up just minutes into the second half.
51′: Japan takes over
Minutes later, Ao Tanaka put Japan ahead, 2-1, which was confirmed following a VAR review.
89′: Final push
Spain had a huge opportunity in the final few minutes to tie the game, but its efforts came up short.
Just like that, Japan pulled off a stunning win, 2-1.

Morrissey upsets crowd after ending concert 30 minutes in
CNN
—
Morrissey abruptly ended his concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles just 30 minutes in.
The singer left fans upset on Saturday after he left the stage after performing only a few songs.
The former Smiths front man did not explain his departure. Instead, a bandmate of his told the crowd, “Sorry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the show is not going to continue. Very sorry. We’ll see you next time. Apologies.”
Fans took to Twitter to try to figure out what the “unforeseen circumstance” was, with one speculating it was too cold outside. Earlier on, the singer had commented on the weather, saying it was chilly.
“So, #Morrissey just walked off the stage at @Greek_Theatre after 30 min. Apparently, he was too cold. Meanwhile, it’s in the 50s,” the fan wrote.
Morrissey’s Instagram account had a post after the incident, but did not apologize for his early departure.
“Thank you for coming out last night, L.A. We love you and are grateful for your support,” the post read. “Please stand by for further announcements coming shortly.”
Morrissey is currently on a North American tour, which started Nov. 11.
His next stop is on Nov. 14 at The Magnolia in El Cajon, California.
NFL Week 4 picks against the spread: Saints, Falcons and Panthers all score upsets in tough week
Finally got a good week going on the overall picks in Week 3, so let’s keep it rolling into Week 4, a very tough layout for picking NFL games. Virtually all of the spreads are under a touchdown, with only the Pack/Pats line climbing into double digits.
The Dolphins’ loss Thursday means there’s only one remaining undefeated team — Philly — and we continue to see an outrageous amount of parity across the entire league.
It only makes picking a slate of games that much tougher, but let’s give it a try anyway.

NFL Week 4 Picks
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET
TV: NFLN | Stream: Fubo (click here)
Latest Odds:
New Orleans Saints
+4
Early morning London football! The thing you never missed and yet somehow didn’t realize you wanted. The first international game is always so jarring — it’s like when there’s a random 11 a.m. ET college football game and you’re completely thrown for a loop. This line is extremely stinky. Minnesota is less than a three-point favorite against a Saints team that needed a miracle Week 1 rally against the Falcons to avoid 0-3 with a bad loss against Tampa Bay and a VERY bad loss against the Panthers. This feels like a situation where Andy Dalton starts and we get Spiderman Meme’d to death with him battling Kirk Cousins in not-quite-prime time. Weird feeling the Saints steal something here even though the Vikings are the better overall team.
The pick: Saints 21, Vikings 17
Props, Best Bets: Saints +2.5

Latest Odds:
Baltimore Ravens
+3
If this game doesn’t turn into a crazy shootout with one of Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen surging to the forefront of the MVP race, it will be really disappointing. The Bills and Ravens have defensive issues and are two of the most explosive teams in football. Both were roundly criticized for accuracy and passing skills coming into the 2018 draft and both have emerged as clear dominant forces. Rashod Batemen and Devin Duvernay are answering questions about Baltimore’s receiving corps. The Bills have some lethal quick-score options as well. It’s probably square but the over feels like a lock here.
The Pick: Ravens 35, Bills 31
Bets: Ravens +3, Over 51

TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Atlanta Falcons
+1
Are the Falcons better than we thought? This will be an interesting test game against a 2-1 Browns team lingering quite large with Deshaun Watson coming back. The Browns are second in rush DVOA on offense and the Falcons are a bottom five team in rush defense by DVOA (worth noting: usually it’s best to wait four weeks for adjusted stats on that based on Football Outsiders reevaluating preconceived biases). Cleveland’s defense has been lacking and it’s hard to imagine Myles Garrett is playing this Sunday; it’s great news he’s doing well as he is. Despite the rushing matchup, Atlanta is going to hang in this game and maybe find a way to steal it.
The Pick: Falcons 24, Browns 21
Bets: Pass

Latest Odds:
New York Giants
-3
Looking at this 39.5 total, it’s hard to tell whether or not it’s simply these two offenses or the possibility of hurricane weather coming in that direction. My thinking is the former. The Bears are an improbable 2-1 … but so are the Giants! I’ve heard multiple people suggest (shoutout my new buddies from RGA) Daniel Jones played his best game as a pro against the Cowboys on Monday night. He was pressured 26 times on 36 dropbacks, just an insane number. Roquan Smith is on an absolute bender right now with 27 (!) tackles in his last two weeks. He’s the difference maker here, as is the Bears ground game.
The Pick: Bears 17, Giants 14
Bets: Bears
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Philadelphia Eagles
-6.5
Two of my three favorite teams from 2022 squaring off in a difficult game to pick. The Jaguars are the only team in the entire NFL with a top-five offense and defense by DVOA. Doug Pederson, a.k.a. “NUM” a.k.a. (Not Urban Meyer) has some big time Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco 2011 vibes. But I’m not sure this week is the max-out spot for the Jags, even in a Doug Pederson Revenge Game. The Eagles are simply just very good, and their defense can lock people down late when it’s clicking.
The Pick: Eagles 27, Jaguars 17
Bets: Pass
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
TV: Fox | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
Detroit Lions
-3.5
The Lions are a fun team, but there are a lot of injuries on offense — D’Andre Swift and Amon Ra St. Brown are out — and the defense is capable of letting anyone storm through the back door. We could look back at this game and point to the seventh seed in the NFC.
The Pick: Lions 27, Seahawks 24
Bets: Pass
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Houston Texans
+6
Justin Herbert has to remain a question mark, almost as big a question mark as keeping Justin Herbert in the game when the Chargers were up not only three but four scores. Brandon Staley is a good coach, but it feels like he abandoned his principles this season and maybe it has him a little shook? There’s zero reason Herbert should have played as much as he did. The Texans are 0-2-1 but have been in every game they’ve played. I think they are live for an upset here courtesy of a big game from Damion Pierce.
The Pick: Texans 27, Chargers 24
Bets: Texans +5
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
TV: Fox | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers
-3.5
The Steelers are not good on offense, but the Jets are really bad on offense. The under here is probably a pretty good look even if the total is sub 40. There’s a chance this becomes the Kenny Pickett game, although Mike Tomlin’s seemed pretty set on continuing to roll with Mitchell Trubisky as his quarterback. I’m taking the Steelers but by no means am I confident with it.
The Pick: Steelers 20, Jets 15
Bets: No bets
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
TV: Fox | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
Indianapolis Colts
-3.5
This a huge AFC South game — the winner ends up likely getting a little bit of a leg up on the Jaguars, assuming the Eagles take care of business. Indy has the better overall roster/team, I think. The Titans can get a ton of interior pressure with Jeffrey Simmons and that should disrupt Matt Ryan enough to keep this division battle close.
The Pick: Colts 20, Titans 17
Bets: No bets
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET
TV: Fox | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
Dallas Cowboys
-3
Dallas is a remarkable 2-1 despite rolling out Cooper Rush at QB the last few weeks. Washington got stomped by the Eagles last week, but I’m not sure they’re as bad as they looked against Philly. The Eagles might simply be the best team in football. The Cowboys defense could be a big problem pressure-wise here, but I think Washington can keep it close enough with Carson Wentz throwing the ball downfield in the second half. It’s also fair to wonder if we might see some adjustment from defenses against Rush and perhaps a correction.
The Pick: WFT 21, Cowboys 17
Bets: N/A
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
TV: Fox | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
Carolina Panthers
-1
Nasty little plot twist for the Cardinals who find themselves at 1-2 and an underdog on the road against a Panthers team no one thinks is particularly great. Carolina could be 2-1 pretty easily however, and the defense is playing at a pretty high level. Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense is operating in an unsustainable fashion and against a Panthers defense with enough speed to contain and chase down Kyler Murray, this is a spot for Matt Rhule to flip some of the FCF (first coach fired) pressure onto Kliff Kingsbury, whose offseason contract extension looms awkwardly at the moment.
The Pick: Panthers 20, Cardinals 17
Bets: Pass
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Las Vegas Raiders
-2.5
The Raiders are an incredibly desperate team — the only 0-3 team in the NFL — getting ready to host the … first place Denver Broncos. Russell Wilson’s struggled badly on deep passes and he and Nathaniel Hackett simply can’t get on the same page. Hackett’s in-game decision making has obviously lacked a certain competence. For that reason give me the Raiders to find a way to win this game, even though it’s difficult to be confident in their defense. Davante Adams needs a signature performance here.
The Pick: Raiders 31, Broncos 24
Bets: Raiders -3
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here)
Latest Odds:
Green Bay Packers
-9.5
Mac Jones is “day to day” according to Bill Belichick, who had some interesting media sessions this week. There are rumors about him wanting to force his way out on the field for this game, but I’m not sure it matters when looking at the handicap here. Aaron Rodgers on a bigger stage (key CBS game on Sunday afternoon) against Belichick with the Packers offense starting to get rolling and the defense playing outstanding football. The Patriots simply aren’t very good right now and Brian Hoyer vs. an injured Mac won’t change that much.
The Pick: Packers 24, Patriots 7
Bets: Pass
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET
TV: NBC | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
-1
The Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl Revenge Game! The Chiefs are favored here but it could simply be a result of expectation for the game being moved to a neutral site. That’s not the case, with Tampa clear of Hurricane Ian much sooner than expected. Mike Evans is back, Tom Brady is in prime time at home and the Bucs defense should still be able to give Mahomes some fits.
The Pick: Buccaneers 28, Chiefs 27
Bets: Buccaneers
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET
TV: ESPN | Stream: fuboTV (click here)
Latest Odds:
San Francisco 49ers
-1.5
Really wanted to make the Rams a best bet this week, but Kyle Shanahan’s history of dominating L.A. just has me too concerned. The Rams got their offense going against Arizona to the tune of 7.4 yards per play last week. San Francisco offers a much tougher defensive test. Unfortunately so do the Rams and Jimmy Garoppolo hasn’t looked great since taking over for Trey Lance. Making matters worse is Trent Williams absence. I’ll buck trends and take the Rams to steal this one on the road in prime time.
The Pick: Rams 24, 49ers 21
Bets: Pass

Frances Tiafoe vs Rafael Nadal: American upsets grand slam champion in the fourth round of US Open
In a match that lasted more than 3 hours and 30 minutes, the Maryland native defeated Nadal 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Tiafoe, 24, is the youngest American man to get this far in the US Open since a then-24-year-old Andy Roddick was a finalist in 2006.
“It was definitely one hell of a performance,” he said following the match. “I played really well today. Yeah, I guess, I mean, I just came out there and I just believed I could do it. It helps I played him a couple times.”
Earlier in the tournament, Tiafoe said he was happy to be going mostly unnoticed.
After his win Monday, he expressed joy for what his victory against Nadal meant to his parents, who immigrated to the United States from Sierra Leone.
“I just had a big passion for the game. Not even mainly for me, but to do it for them. To see them experience me beat Rafa Nadal, they’ve seen me have big wins, but to beat those Mount Rushmore guys, for them, I can’t imagine what was going through their heads.
“Yeah, I mean, they’re going to remember today for the rest of their lives.”
Nadal, 36, recorded his first loss in a grand slam event this year and is now 22-1 this season. The Spaniard won the Australian Open and French Open before withdrawing from Wimbledon in July before his scheduled semifinal showdown with Australian Nick Kyrgios.
“The difference is easy,” Nadal said afterward. “I played a bad match and he played a good match. At the end that’s it, no?”
Nadal said Tiafoe played more solidly than in previous matches between the two, served well, had good backhands and was quick.
“But I don’t think I pushed him enough to create him the doubts that I need to create,” he said. “Of course, he did the things well. If not, he will not win, without a doubt. Congrats to him.”
Nadal said he needs to “fix things” and when he feels mentally ready to compete again, he will, but he is unsure about the timetable.
Tiafoe will face Andrey Rublev of Russia in a quarterfinal on Wednesday.
The US Open men’s singles final is scheduled for Sunday.
Tiafoe’s parents met in the United States, where they would have twins, Franklin and Frances.
Their father signed on as a day laborer at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in 1999 in College Park.
While working around the clock, his father was forced to move into a vacant storage room at the tennis center, where his two boys would stay with him, sleeping there, while their mother worked night shifts as a nurse. Tiafoe picked up the sport, getting to play at the center for free, and fell in love with the sport.
Tiafoe previously said that while his family didn’t grow up wealthy, he wouldn’t change anything.
On Monday he told reporters: “Us being around tennis was kind of gets us getting out of our neighborhood. My dad kind of being able to watch us. It wasn’t anything supposed to be like this. Once we got in the game of tennis, it was like my dad was like, It would be awesome if you guys can use this as a full scholarship to school. I mean, we couldn’t afford a university.”

Martian meteorite upsets planet formation theory
A new study of an old meteorite contradicts current thinking about how rocky planets like the Earth and Mars acquire volatile elements such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and noble gases as they form. The work is published June 16 in Science.
A basic assumption about planet formation is that planets first collect these volatiles from the nebula around a young star, said Sandrine Péron, a postdoctoral scholar working with Professor Sujoy Mukhopadhyay in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Davis.
Because the planet is a ball of molten rock at this point, these elements initially dissolve into the magma ocean and then degass back into the atmosphere. Later on, chondritic meteorites crashing into the young planet deliver more volatile materials.
So scientists expect that the volatile elements in the interior of the planet should reflect the composition of the solar nebula, or a mixture of solar and meteoritic volatiles, while the volatiles in the atmosphere would come mostly from meteorites. These two sources—solar vs. chondritic—can be distinguished by the ratios of isotopes of noble gases, in particular krypton.
Mars is of special interest because it formed relatively quickly—solidifying in about 4 million years after the birth of the Solar System, while the Earth took 50 to 100 million years to form.
“We can reconstruct the history of volatile delivery in the first few million years of the Solar System,” Péron said.
Meteorite from Mars’ interior
Some meteorites that fall to Earth come from Mars. Most come from surface rocks that have been exposed to Mars’ atmosphere. The Chassigny meteorite, which fell to Earth in north-eastern France in 1815, is rare and unusual because it is thought to represent the interior of the planet.
By making extremely careful measurements of minute quantities of krypton isotopes in samples of the meteorite using a new method set up at the UC Davis Noble Gas Laboratory, the researchers could deduce the origin of elements in the rock.
“Because of their low abundance, krypton isotopes are challenging to measure,” Péron said.
Surprisingly, the krypton isotopes in the meteorite correspond to those from chondritic meteorites, not the solar nebula. That means that meteorites were delivering volatile elements to the forming planet much earlier than previously thought, and in the presence of the nebula, reversing conventional thinking.
“The Martian interior composition for krypton is nearly purely chondritic, but the atmosphere is solar,” Péron said. “It’s very distinct.”
The results show that Mars’ atmosphere cannot have formed purely by outgassing from the mantle, as that would have given it a chondritic composition. The planet must have acquired atmosphere from the solar nebula, after the magma ocean cooled, to prevent substantial mixing between interior chondritic gases and atmospheric solar gases.
The new results suggest that Mars’ growth was completed before the solar nebula was dissipated by radiation from the Sun. But the irradiation should also have blown off the nebular atmosphere on Mars, suggesting that atmospheric krypton must have somehow been preserved, possibly trapped underground or in polar ice caps.
“However, that would require Mars to have been cold in the immediate aftermath of its accretion,” Mukhopadhyay said. “While our study clearly points to the chondritic gases in the Martian interior, it also raises some interesting questions about the origin and composition of Mars’ early atmosphere.”
Péron and Mukhopadhyay hope their study will stimulate further work on the topic.
