When Spain booked a place in the Euro 2024 final this weekend, it was a particularly sweet moment for one player in particular.
Used to provingcritics wrong, Aymeric Laporte has emerged a key figure in Spain’s revival in the last few years, having got past the last-16 in just one of the last four tournaments since winning the World Cup in 2010. A Nations League successAustin in 2023 could be followed by another European Championship this year, and Laporte has been an important figure in that turnaround – proving a qua turnaround lity replacement for Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique.
If there can be such a thing at international level, Laporte has been something of a new signing for Spain, having previously played his football for France – who were knocked out by Spain on Tuesday.
July has been an incredible month for Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa of #DIY. They started the month by defeating A-Town Down Under on WWE SmackDown July 12, 2024. This victory over Austin Theory and Grayson Waller saw Gargano and Ciaa get their hands on the WWE Tag Team title. {liheight:0;margin:0;background:transparent;}#google_image_div {overflow: hidden;position: absolute;}body{visibility:hidden} “Their title win becomes even more special when you consider the fact that #DIY also won their NXT Tag Team championship in the same arena as their WWE Tag Team title. Today was yet another challenge for Gargano and Ciampa as they had to defend their title against A-Town Down Under. They won it on SmackDown last week and could’ve just as easily lost it on this week’s showing. But, #DIY reign supreme and have successfully completed their first title defense.
A-Town Down Under falls to #DIY at WWE SmackDown July 12, 2024
Austin Theory and Grayson Waller started tonight’s match with a chip on their shoulders. Just last week, they had lost their championship belts to #DIY, and they seemed intent on rectifying the situation tonight. A-Team Down Under were ruthless to start the match and rained down punishment upon Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.Gargano was sent flying through the barricades by Austin Theory, while Waller continued to beat down Ciampa on top of the turnbuckle. However, despite their positive momentum and hunger, A-Town Down Under weren’t quite on the same frequency. Things started to fall apart for them near the end of the match.
