TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - If bookmakers introduced a bet on who would be named official man-of-the-match at tournaments, Andres Iniesta would be a short-priced favourite in every Spain match at Euro 2016. Given that honour in the World Cup final of 2010, he is still going strong six years later, with more than 30 major trophies for club and country. The 32-year-old midfielder was again named for the individual honours after Spain’s 1-0 win over the Czech Republic in Group D on Monday, earned by his precise cross for Gerard Pique to head in a late winner....

The Argentina international landed heavily five minutes into Sunday’s match after hurdling goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu when trying to reach Miralem Pjanic’s throughball. The 29-year-old tried to continue after receiving treatment but eventually had to be replaced by Federico Bernardeschi. It appeared Higuain had hurt his ankle.

Just one player playing, the other staying on one side of the court,” Nadal said....

India went into the game wary of the minor errors that had denied them victory in their previous group encounters. The hosts, on the other hand, were brimming with confidence thanks in part to two successive victories and romped up the attack.
