Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will have their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the security plans. The festivities will kick off with a smaller rehearsal dinner planned for Thursday night, the official said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the events. Speculation about the superstar singer and football player’s nuptials has built to a frenzy in recent days, following weeks of unconfirmed reports that it would take place over July Fourth weekend at one of New York’s iconic landmarks. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Wednesday that a permit had been filed for a “large event” at Madison Square Garden. “We are fully prepared,” he added. “There isn’t anything to share beyond that.” New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said police “will of course have a detail in place,” but also declined to go into further detail. This week, crews have been unloading equipment from trucks outside the Manhattan arena. A large carpet was briefly unveiled outside one entrance and then promptly removed. Nothing has been publicly confirmed by the couple, despite multiple requests from The Associated Press to Swift’s representative for comment, including on Wednesday.

World Cup Best Bets — Thursday, July 2 Spain vs. Austria Spain hasn’t conceded in the tourney and I don’t think it will here either. I don’t hate a Spain HT/FT, as I think it will get an early goal and then control the ball the rest of the way to see it out. Austria played that wild match against Algeria and netted three to get here, but this is a completely different animal. Portugal vs. Croatia Portugal has been non-threatening against everyone outside Uzbekistan. I see no reason that won’t continue here against a veteran Croatia side that has been through all the battles. There is an immense amount of pressure on Portugal here after failing to win the group and give it an easy draw. I get the sense there’s a lot going on behind the scenes which we do not know about, and we’ll eventually learn after the tournament. That said, no result would surprise me here, and I’ll just default to a tight, feeling-out first half in which neither team wants to make a critical early error. Switzerland vs. Algeria I keep thinking Switzerland is better than it actually is. It just feels like it should be winning knockout stage matches and making deep runs, but we haven’t seen it. The Swiss get a pretty good draw here against an Algeria side that doesn’t have too many offensive options, despite Riyad Mahrez’s brace the other night. This feels like a stereotypical knockout stage match that won’t see much action or goals.
Lionel Mpasi blocked shots with his right hand, his left hand and even took one a bit below the belt. At one point, England midfielder Jude Bellingham gave him a hug of respect with Mpasi sprawled on the World Cup turf, the ball safely in his grasp. In the end, though, the Congo goalkeeper couldn’t stop Harry Kane. The England striker scored two late goals, the winner in the 86th minute, to prevent the upstart team from Africa from pulling off one of the greatest shockers in World Cup history. England is moving on to the round of 16 after a 2-1 victory on Wednesday, while Mpasi will have to console himself with one of the great defensive performances in a tournament filled with stellar play from the keepers. “I offered my body to science,” he said through a translator, managing a wry smile. “But we knew Harry Kane is a super striker and that we had to center on him. Too bad that twice we paid a little less attention to him.” Indeed, the Congolese couldn’t hold off one of the world’s most dangerous goalscorers. Still, it didn’t diminish what Mpasi and his teammates nearly pulled off. “It is my job to help the team and make saves,” Mpasi said in French. “Happily, I was able to make some during the game. I would have loved to save the two that turned into goals.” Already, this was a historic tournament for a country whose only other World Cup appearance came in 1974, when the nation was known as Zaire. That was a quick three-and-out, the squad failing to even score a goal in its defeats — the most embarrassing of them a 9-0 blowout by Yugoslavia. There was nothing to be ashamed about at its second World Cup. Much of the credit should go to the 31-year-old Mpasi, who plays club soccer in his native France but represents the country of his parent’s birth internationally, a nation best known in sports circles for Muhammad Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle” upset of George Foreman in 1974. While a round of 32 victory over England wouldn’t have been as impactful as that landmark heavyweight bout, it showcased a country — and a keeper — eager to make their mark on the international scene. “I’m just proud — proud of my country, proud of my team,” Mpasi said. “We fight until the end of the game.” He finished with five saves, the most painful of them coming near the end of the first half when he flung his body in front of a shot by Kane off a cross at the right post — appearing to take a ball somewhere between, uh, his waist and upper thigh. “He made some incredible saves,” Kane said. “It looked like it was going to be one of those days.” It was reminiscent of Mpasi’s performance in a group game against Colombia, when he blocked eight shots in a 1-0 setback to the South American powerhouse. “He’s been phenomenal for us all tournament, especially the game against Columbia. He really kept us in the game,” Congo defender Axel Tuanzebe said. “Credit to him, the work he puts in, and just the togetherness that we have as a group. We’ve been together for a while now and the relationship is there, and the communication is there. I just look forward to playing with him and having my back for many more games.” Mpasi, too, looks forward to using this tournament as a building block for Congo soccer. “I am filled with pride in how we represented Congo,” he said. “We fought with all we had, but unfortunately. it didn’t work out. Now, we will rest and then work hard to make sure we can do things like this again.” Reporting by The Associated Press.
