Welcome to the Full-time Report, where the best content from The Straits Times sports desk is delivered to your inbox every Monday evening.
There was plenty of drama in the Singapore Premier League on Sunday (July 24). After watching Albirex Niigata close the gap to just two points, leaders Lion City Sailors responded with a battling win against Tampines Rovers in an ill-tempered game that has led to a police report lodged for an alleged headbutting incident.
Meanwhile, some of our top athletes will also be competing at the July 28-Aug 8 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. We've profiled several Team Singapore athletes, including badminton mixed doubles pair (and married couple) Terry Hee and Jessica Tan as well as weightlifter Nicole Heng. Check them out.
Next, if you've ever wondered what it's like to play in goal for Liverpool and England, check out Rohit Brijnath's in-depth interview with former Reds star David James.
Finally, our regular columnists John Brewin and David Tremayne discuss the latest happenings in European football and Formula One. John examines Barcelona's risky transfer policy despite their financial trouble while David ponders what's next for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari after a dreadful showing at the French GP.
