June 21 Social Zone: Wales through despite Bale miss, while dark horses fall at first hurdle
Dismal exit for Turkey, while even Mancini is showboating for impressive Italy.
SOCCER: Wales are through to the last 16 of the Euro 2020 but not without a little bit of drama as Switzerland threatened to produce the five-goal swing needed to overhaul Robert Page's side. It would have been much more relaxed had Gareth Bale converted this gilt-edged chance.
By Gareth Bale's standards, that is a sitter 😱

SOCCER: It had been classier still if Roberto Mancini had trapped it behind his knee.

SOCCER: Turkey's abject performance at Euro 2020 has certainly given Hakan Calhanoglu plenty more time to weigh up his options. Did anyone say dark horses?
Inter are confident to sign Calhanoglu as free agent. AC Milan contract bid [€4m net per season] will not be raised, it’s up to Hakan. 🇹🇷⌛️ @SkySport

Inter are waiting to receive new bids for Hakimi. Talks ongoing with PSG, Chelsea are offering players but Inter want €80m. 🇲🇦
🚨 STOPPAGE TIME GOALKEEPER GOAL ALERT! 🚨

SOCCER: Former Argentina striker Gabriel Batistuta is not one for disposable barbecues.
SOCCER: Austin co-owner Matthew McConaughey fires up fans ahead of the franchise's first home MLS game. It failed to have the desired effect on the players, however, as they drew 0-0 with San Jose. How about that suit, though?
