⚽️ 4:00: Venezuela – Canada, Copa America – 2024, quarter-finals
Intrigue: Who will make it to the semi-finals of the Cup?
The Venezuelan and Canadian teams made it to the Copa America playoffs from tough groups. Venezuela took first place alongside Ecuador, Mexico and Jamaica. Canada finished behind Argentina, ahead of Chile and Peru. Now the teams are waiting for the quarter-finals. Neither Venezuela nor Canada have won medals in the Kop. But the winner will at least get close to the bronze medal match. Therefore, the upcoming match is the most important in history for both teams.

🎾 13:00*: Anna Kalinskaya (Russia, 17) – Lyudmila Samsonova (Russia, 15), Wimbledon, third round
*Match schedule may change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: How will the third Russian derby at Wimbledon end?
There are only two Russians left in the women’s singles draw at Wimbledon: Anna Kalinskaya and Lyudmila Samsonova. It is they who will fight each other for access to the fourth round. This will be the third Russian derby at the tournament after the Khachanov-Karatsev and Samsonov-Avanesyan clashes. Anna and Lyudmila met once before, in Courmayeur 2021, and then Samsonova turned out to be stronger. The winner of the new match will next fight one of the pair Elena Rybakina – Caroline Wozniacki.
Lyudmila defeated Avanesyan and reached Kalinskaya:
Samsonova won the Russian derby. And Khachanov lost to the world number 220 in five sets.
⚽️ 14:35: Shanghai Shenhua – Shandong Taishan, China – Super League, matchday 18
Intrigue: Will Slutsky’s team’s unbeaten streak continue?
Shanghai Shenhua has not lost a single time in 17 rounds. However, Leonid Slutsky’s team is five points behind leaders Shanghai Port (with one game in hand). Shenhua has a home game with Shandong Taishan ahead of them. The team is in fifth place in the table. So Slutsky faces a tough opponent. Will the unbeaten streak continue?
Slutsky really doesn’t want Golovin to return to the RPL:

⚽️ 15:30: Dynamo Moscow – OFK, Brotherhood Cup, 2nd round
Intrigue: Will Dynamo get its first victory in the Brotherhood Cup?
Both teams started the Brotherhood Cup with defeats. Dinamo lost to Partizan on penalties (2-2, 2-4) and CSKA defeated Serbian OFK (4-0). Now the losers will meet in a second round match. There is a chance to win and keep their chances of winning the title.
Dynamo, where are the transfers?
Will Dynamo get stronger?
🏎 17:00: Formula 1, British Grand Prix, qualifying
Intrigue: Who is faster? Will the rain have an influence?
The typical British weather may well influence the outcome of qualifying: yes, the fastest cars are still the fastest, but the chance of a mistake on the track or a wrong decision by the steering wheel increases considerably. Consequently, it is not a fact that the representatives of Red Bull or McLaren will be the fastest on Saturday. By the way, according to the results of Friday’s practice, it is not clear who is faster at the moment, but we are expecting a new battle between Verstappen and Norris!

Who is more worthy of entering F1: Antonelli, Lawson or the ex-Mercedes junior?
🏀 17:30: Greece – Slovenia, 2024 Olympic Games, qualification, quarter-finals (Piraeus)
Intrigue: Giannis Antetokounmpo or Luka Doncic: who will qualify for the Olympic final?
Greece cruised through its group, beating the Dominican Republic and Egypt. The second game did not even require Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was gaining strength for the upcoming final qualifying round for the Paris Olympics. Slovenia did not start with much confidence, losing to Croatia, but then the team led by Luka Doncic bounced back and defeated New Zealand (104:78). Either Greece or Slovenia will not go to the Olympics. Which NBA superstar will perform better?
Grick Freak in all his glory!
Antetokounmpo and Vembanyama already play for national teams. But will this help at the Olympics?
⚽️ 19:00: England v Switzerland, EURO 2024, quarter-finals
Intrigue: Will England reach the semi-finals of the European Championship?
England is the most criticised team at the European Championship. With an incredible squad, coach Gareth Southgate gives his team a terrible performance. In the round of 16, England was saved from embarrassment by Jude Bellingham’s goal in the 90+5 minute, otherwise the team would have lost to Slovakia. But the British made it to the quarter-finals. Ahead of them is Switzerland, who knocked out Italy in the last round. Great team, one of the best in the tournament. Will Switzerland send England home? Or will they once again bring out the stars in individual skill?
Southgate is paid a generous salary for his work with the England national team:
How much are national team coaches paid for Euro 2024? Southgate is a real paradox!
🏀 21:00: Dominican Republic – Croatia, 2024 Olympic Games, qualification, quarter-finals (Piraeus)
Intrigue: Who will win and play the final against the strongest of the Greece-Slovenia pair?
The Dominican Republic, although playing without Karl-Anthony Towns, is still a decent team with several NBA players. For its part, Croatia had a great start to the qualifying phase with a win over Slovenia, but then the European team lost to New Zealand. Croatia also includes NBA players Dario Saric and Ivica Zubac, so the match should be very interesting.
Italy breaks Olympic qualification record:
This has never happened before! Italy showed its opponent in the Olympic qualification
🏀 21:30: Finland – Spain, 2024 Olympic Games, qualification, quarter-finals (Valencia)
Intrigue: Will the Spaniards be able to face their first serious test in the Olympic selection?
What are the Olympics without the Spanish national team? Furia Roja is always a formidable force in any international tournament. In the group stage, the Spaniards, led by Sergio Scariolo, beat Lebanon and Angola, but the team will face Finland in the semi-finals. The Finns are playing without Lauri Markkanen, the team’s main star, but they keep fighting until the end. Only one team will advance to the qualifying final, where they will face either the Bahamas or Lebanon.

⚽️ 22:00: Netherlands – Türkiye, EURO 2024, quarter-finals
Intrigue: Who will make it to the semi-finals of Euro 2024?
The Netherlands and Turkey are approaching the quarter-finals in different moods. The Netherlands defeated Romania in the round of 16 (3-0) and earned praise. Turkey beat Austria in a tough fight (2-1), but defender Merih Demiral caused a scandal. He made a fascist gesture and caused a scandal at the Euros. According to Bild, Demiral is suspended for two matches and will miss the semi-finals. Will the negative context affect Turkey? Maybe. And the Netherlands is already the favourite of the pair. Ronald Koeman’s team needs to justify its status.
The Turkish national team defender caused the biggest scandal of Euro 2024:
