  • FIFA's Most Debated Call? Balogun's Red Card Saga In Photos

    FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of U.S. forward Folarin Balogun has caused an uproar. Balogun was red-carded against Bosnia-Herzegovina last week in the round of 32 but shockingly cleared to play against Belgium on Monday in Seattle in the round of 16. The Belgian federation was making a last-ditch appeal against the rare ruling. The suspension was erased after President Donald Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, fueling debate over whether political influence played a role.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup Journey In Photos: From 2006 Debut To 2026 Farewell

    Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo made his World Cup debut in 2006 in Germany. He and Lionel Messi of Argentina are the only players to appear in six World Cups. Ronaldo's defining moments include a hat trick against Spain in 2018. He has scored at least one goal in all six World Cups in which he's appeared, something not even Messi has done. The 41-year-old Ronaldo made his final World Cup appearance on Monday, a 1-0 loss to Spain in Arlington, Texas. He ends his career with 11 World Cup goals, which is tied for ninth. His 146 goals in 233 appearances for Portugal are both records in international soccer.

After leveling the match, she dominated the decider with powerful groundstrokes and composed shot selection, ending the teenager's impressive run at the All England Club.

  • Tour De France 2026: Isaac Del Toro Claims Stunning Stage 2 Victory In Barcelona

    Mexican sensation Isaac del Toro claimed the biggest victory of his young career by winning Stage 2 of the 2026 Tour de France, powering UAE Team Emirates-XRG to a memorable one-two finish ahead of teammate Tadej Pogacar on the uphill finish in Barcelona. The 22-year-old recovered from an earlier mechanical setback before launching a decisive attack on the final ascent of Montjuic, with Pogacar choosing not to contest the sprint and allowing Del Toro to celebrate his maiden Tour stage win. The result made Del Toro only the second Mexican rider to win a Tour de France stage, while Pogačar gained valuable bonus seconds to cut Jonas Vingegaard's overall lead to just six seconds. Remco Evenepoel finished third on the stage, while Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey despite losing ground to his chief rival.
