22 days ago SBS

After leading Argentina to their first World Cup victory since 1986 and the first of his career at the age of 35, Messi became just the third player in history to win the Best Men's player award. It's an honour for me to be here tonight and win this award," Messi said in his acceptance speech. The World Cup winning Argentina squad was well represented at the awards, with coach Lionel Scaloni taking out the Best Men's Coach award and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez recognised as the Best Men's Goalkeeper. Spain and Barcelona midfielder Alexia Putellas won her second consecutive Best Women's player award after an incredible season, top scoring in an unbeaten Primera Division campaign and also the Champions League where Barcelona reached the final. While Mead missed out in her category, England's amazing Euro 2022 triumph saw national coach Sarina Wiegman take out the Best Women's Coach award and shot-stopper Mary Earps took Best Women's Goalkeeper.

Brazil dispatch Korea Republic with ease to set up Croatia clash

After Japan's penalty shootout loss to Croatia earlier, and Australia's loss to Argentina, it means that all three Asian Confederation teams were eliminated in the first knockout round. They took only seven minutes to breach the Korean defence for the first time. Five minutes later Richarlison was hauled down in the penalty box and the referee instantly pointed to the spot. Brazil were effervescent in attack and organised in defence, restricting the South Koreans to long shots. Brazil had too much quality up front, and were being given far too much space.

Penalty pain for Kane as France send England packing

England's hopes were dashed by Aurelien Tchouameni's early thunderbolt, only for Kane to level from the spot and equal Wayne Rooney's goalscoring record for the national team. Penalty appeals for a Dayot Upamecano foul on Kane were also ignored after the VAR concluded the decision occurred outside the box. But England deservedly drew level when Tchouameni upended Saka early in the second half, with Kane beating Hugo Lloris to move level with Rooney's all-time record of 53 goals. Southgate's side responded impressively to Tchouameni's early gut punch with Lloris smothering a Kane effort and then tipping Jude Bellingham's stunning half-volley over early in the second half. A long delay followed but Kane kept his cool to send Tottenham teammate Lloris the wrong way.

Malaysia is facing a hung parliament for the first time in history. Here's what to expect

Mr Muhyiddin said he hoped to conclude talks by Sunday afternoon, although negotiations could take days. But a minority government is possible if neither Mr Anwar nor Mr Muhyiddin can cobble together a majority. In an interview with Reuters this month, he ruled out partnering with Mr Muhyiddin's and Mr Ismail's coalitions, citing fundamental differences. Mr Muhyiddin and Mr Ismail's coalition prioritise interests of the ethnic-Malay majority, while Mr Anwar's is multicultural.
