    David Sullivan resigned as West Ham joint-chair after being made aware of impending serious historic allegations. The 77-year-old denied the claims and said they relate to his personal life, not the club or his football work.

    Germany beat the USMNT 2-1 at Soldier Field in the hosts’ final World Cup warm-up. Kai Havertz scored early, Antonee Robinson replied with a stunning volley, and Leroy Sane struck the second-half winner in Chicago.

    Mauricio Pochettino said the early setback tested his side’s character before the Paraguay opener. The performance still showed familiar issues against European teams, while Robinson’s late cramp added a small fitness concern before the tournament.

    England beat New Zealand 1-0 in Tampa, with Harry Kane scoring the only goal just before half-time. The World Cup warm-up gave Thomas Tuchel minutes in Florida heat, but England created little against the lowest-ranked qualified side.

    Djed Spence crossed for Kane’s flicked header before Tuchel changed the full team at half-time. Marcus Rashford looked sharper than Anthony Gordon, while Jude Bellingham improved the tempo after replacing Morgan Rogers in the second half.

    Wales lost 2-1 to Romania in Bucharest, extending their winless away-friendly run since 2008. Florinel Coman and Adrian Rus scored either side of David Brooks’ equaliser, leaving Craig Bellamy frustrated before the Nations League campaign.

    Wales had more possession and nine shots on target, but Bellamy said they moved the ball too slowly and failed to break lines. Ethan Ampadu, Brennan Johnson and Lewis Koumas missed chances as Romania punished them more efficiently.

    Jurgen Klopp’s agent rejected claims linking the former Liverpool manager with Real Madrid after Enrique Riquelme promised to pursue him if elected president. Marc Kosicke said Klopp is committed to his current executive role.

    Riquelme had placed Klopp at the centre of his sporting pitch alongside Raul Gonzalez and other bold promises. The denial weakens another campaign claim before Sunday’s vote, with Florentino Perez still expected to remain favourite.

    Julio Enciso suffered an injury scare in Paraguay’s final World Cup warm-up match against Nicaragua, leaving their opener against the USMNT uncertain. The Strasbourg forward was substituted after 25 minutes following knocks to his hamstring and waist area.

    Gustavo Alfaro said Enciso would undergo tests but hoped the problem was impact-related rather than muscular. Paraguay need clarity quickly, with the forward expected to be one of their main attacking threats at SoFi Stadium on 12 June.
