Belgium handed the United States a lesson last night, and the internet was absolutely here for it. The Red Devils cruised to a convincing victory, with a massive chunk of the viewing audience actively rooting against the Americans following the controversial overturning of Folarin Balogun's red card earlier in the tournament. The hatewatch delivered in full.
Meanwhile the World Cup quarterfinal bracket is taking shape fast, and the ticket market is heating up. England face Norway in Miami, while France and Morocco are set for a blockbuster rematch in Boston — a repeat of their two thousand twenty two semifinal that ended in heartbreak for the Atlas Lions. Demand is surging and prices are climbing by the hour.

The twenty six year old Olympic heavyweight wrestling gold medalist makes his UFC debut on July eleventh at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and Jackson believes this kid could genuinely reshape what mixed martial arts looks like at the highest level.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
