The League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational will wrap up in just two days. Riot Games recently updated its global team power rankings. BLG, which hasn't lost a single match at MSI, has once again topped the list. After T1 suffered an upset loss to G2, they dropped from third to fifth place. G2 took over T1's spot at second. HLE, now in the lower bracket, ranks third. GEN, who didn't even qualify for MSI, remains in fourth place.

Manchester United surprisingly and swiftly signed Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Andre Santos this week. Santos was photographed leaving Carrington in a car after undergoing a medical. British media claim he has already chosen his jersey number, continuing to wear the No. 17 shirt he had at Chelsea. After Garnacho's departure, this number had been vacant at United for a year.

Barcelona will not be able to start the 2026/27 La Liga season as originally scheduled after France advanced to the World Cup 2026 semifinals. The reason: defender Jules Kounde continues to compete with Les Bleus on American soil.

As the Frontier plane descended and tilted its wings to prepare for landing at Los Angeles Airport, concluding the flight from Atlanta, a vast expanse stretching to the horizon of the city appeared in an instant at the window. A fresh, cool breeze rushed in as I left the airport. Not the warm, humid, and immediately rainy welcome like in Miami last week on the East Coast of the United States. No, this is the West Coast, the Pacific Ocean, in the "City of Angels."

Manchester United goalkeeper Senna Lammers finally realized his dream of playing in a World Cup, but it turned into a nightmare. In the dying moments of the match, the 24-year-old made a critical error, allowing Spain to snatch a 2-1 victory over Belgium and advance to the semifinals, while the "Red Devils" were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Norway and England will face off in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA. The match is highly anticipated due to the showdown between two of today's top strikers: Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.

The Spanish national team secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Belgium in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, thereby booking their spot in the semifinals with a resilient performance.

In April 2026, Inter Miami inaugurated Nu Stadium, raising the total number of dedicated soccer fields in Major League Soccer (MLS) to 27. That is just one link in the over $11 billion investment MLS has poured into infrastructure since winning the right to host the World Cup. MLS gained 7 new clubs, numerous training centers, and a network of facilities designed to create a massive asset for football.

It didn't take until Cape Verde achieved a miraculous run to the knockout stage; right after they held Spain to a 0-0 draw in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup, a seemingly reasonable question emerged everywhere: if a nation of 500,000 people could accomplish something so extraordinary, why couldn't we? Singaporean football could not escape that comparison either, because in relation to other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore is wealthy, was once a pioneer in naturalizing players, and was also the region's top football power in the past.

The journey to conquer the 2026 World Cup gold trophy is approaching its decisive turns. The final two semifinal spots will be fiercely contested between England facing Norway and the reigning champions Argentina taking on Switzerland.
