Hearts 3-0 Motherwell: Analysis
As much as manager Michael Wimmer said his players are playing for contracts next season, Motherwell have the vibe of a team 'on the beach.'
They secured safety last weekend and realistically are looking to next season when Wimmer will have the summer to build his own squad and instil his playing philosophy.
Callum Slattery was the pick of the players in claret and amber, with a few lovely turns demonstrating his quality in midfield.
His goal - which was ultimately ruled out because Dan Casey jumped in front of Fulton when offside - also showed his attacking threat.
The ball sat rather awkwardly but he managed to find the net by playing it off the grass and into the corner.
Having a player like him fit and back to his best for next season, having missed half of this campaign with a knee injury, will help Wimmer hugely.

Porsche Secretly Entered the 2027 Cayenne EV in a Hill Climb, and It Set a Record
The latest car news, reviews, and features. The upcoming electric Porsche Cayenne doesn't exist yet, but Porsche just ran it up a public hill climb. On Sunday, Porsche entered the electric Cayenne in prototype form at the 2025 UK British Championship Hillclimb at Shelley Walsh. It's hard to miss what this thing is because the 'camo' wrap has Porsche Cayenne written all over it in neon purple and blue letters. Hilariously, the prototype also had a roof rack installed. Porsche slid the prototype into the Road Cars Series Production Electric category of the event. The automaker's Formula E factor test driver Gabriela Jilkova piloted the prototype through the course. The event announcers commented how the EV rocketed off the line thanks to the instant torque and it only took 1.94 seconds to hit 60 feet. The action all takes place at the 2:36:42 mark in the video stream. 'For a big car that is scuttering up the hill something special,' the announcers said. The prototype, which it's unclear if this was a production-spec vehicle, ran the course in 31.28 seconds, smashing the SUV record up Shelsley Walsh by over four seconds. The camo-wrapped Cayenne EV prototype looks like a Porsche Cayenne with a slightly evolutionary design. The headlights include the now trademark quad LED daytime running light dots, and the rear features horizontal LED taillights. The greenhouse feels familiar, but the window line in the C-pillar is specific to the EV compared to the gas-powered Cayenne. Large wheels, maybe 22s or 23s, fill the wells. Active aero both up front and possibly in the rear can be seen working throughout the blazing run up the hill. Off the line it sounds like the Cayenne EV is making noise, presumably from a speaker, and during certain points up the climb it sounds as if there are noises coming from the electric SUV. Those sounds seem like they are coming during hard acceleration, but it's all quick and hard to be sure. The next-generation Cayenne was set to be electric, but now Porsche has backtracked and will keep a gas-powered version alive past 2030. With the electric Cayenne running up the hill climb in prototype form with only a mild camo wrap, it seems as if it's only a matter of time before the automaker reveals or starts talking about the upcoming EV.

World Cup 2026 odds: Spain the favorite a year out from tournament
Soccer fans around the world have been waiting for the inaugural 48-team edition of the World Cup, and this week the tournament is officially just one year out. The 2026 World Cup will be held in North America, with live coverage on the FOX and the FOX Sports app. Bettors and fans already have their sights set on the world's biggest sporting event, which will kick off on June 11. After Spain defeated England to win the UEFA Euro 2024, its odds of winning the World Cup shifted drastically, moving to +600 from +900 overnight— and is now at +500 despite a runner-up finish against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final. The Spanish are slight favorites over France— with Les Blues currently sitting at +600. Another team to watch are defending champions Argentina, who defeated Colombia to claim the Copa América trophy last year. The team's odds have dropped slightly since last summer, moving to +900 from +800. The World Cup final will be held at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026. Let's dive into the odds via DraftKings Sportsbook. 2026 WORLD CUP ODDS: * Spain: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)France: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Brazil: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)England: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)Argentina: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)Germany: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Portugal:+1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)Netherlands: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)Italy: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)Uruguay: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Colombia: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)United States: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)Belgium: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)Croatia: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Denmark: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Mexico: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total) * odds as of 6/10/25 On the USMNT side, the team's poor showing last summer has left fans wondering if the next big tournament will yield a more favorable outcome. Since the group stage was introduced in 1975, the United States was the first host nation to fail to reach the Copa América knockout stage. This summer's Gold Cup was supposed to serve as an opportunity for the team to gel with new manager Mauricio Pochettino, but the roster is not what most expected. Christian Pulisic, Jedi Robinson, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Sergino Dest are among a group of regular stars not participating in this summer's tournament for various reasons. Additionally, the team's odds to win the World Cup moved from +3000 at the time of their Copa América elimination, to +3500 currently. In February, FIFA released the dates and locations for the 104-match tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The US Men's National Team has group stage matches: – June 12, SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California – June 19, Lumen Field, Seattle – June 25, SoFi Stadium The semifinals will be at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 14 and at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on July 15. France is a team to watch, as they were one of the youngest teams at the 2022 tournament and boast one of the best players in the world in Kylian Mbappe. When you factor in that they had numerous key players out for injury in 2022, it's no surprise that they are now near the top of the board. Brazil and England have the next best odds to take home the Cup, at +650 to win it all. After being derailed by injuries in 2014, 2018 2022, and 2024, Neymar will be focused on his own Messi-like mid-30s redemption story. Or will he? Either way, The Seleção will be loaded, but they need their younger talent to step up to get back on the podium. Defending champion Argentina is fifth on the oddsboard at +900. Star Lionel Messi, after moving to MLS to play for Inter Miami, has not officially committed to playing in 2026— but their have been rumblings that he will. He did suffer an injury during Argentina's win over Colombia in the Copa América final last summer. Will that cloud his 2026 World Cup status is even further? La Albiceleste will return young talent such as Julián Alvarez and Enzo Fernández, so with or without Messi, Argentina will still be a force to be reckoned with. The USMNT at +3500 has long odds but a few things are working in their favor. The Americans will have home-field advantage for the first time since 1994.

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain has short-listed two sites outside the capital city to build its future stadium.
