The missing person has resurfaced. "White Side" Whiteside posted on his personal social media: No attacks, doubts, obstacles, or suppression can bring me down! Thank you, Shanghai! The cup championship is mine, the Defensive Player of the Year award is mine, and the CBA championship is mine!

Bac Ninh secured a V-League ticket for the first time in history after a thrilling victory over PVF-CAND, while the 2026 World Cup keeps heating up with Hwang In-beom's "declaration of war" against Mexico, an unprecedented VAR decision that left global fans bewildered, and a milestone that helped Christian Pulisic surpass Cristiano Ronaldo.

Foreword: The S16 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been following the recent matches.

Canada officially welcomed the 2026 World Cup with a vibrant opening ceremony in Toronto, featuring a host of renowned artists such as Alanis Morissette, Michael Buble, Alessia Cara, Elyanna, Jessie Reyez, and Nora Fatehi.

With a relaxed mindset and thorough preparation in both physical and technological aspects, the England team is ready to explode at the 2026 World Cup after a training camp filled with laughter in the state of Florida (USA).

On June 13, Beijing time, the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup (hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico) continued. A highly anticipated clash saw host nation USA take on South American defensive powerhouse Paraguay. The match turned into a one-sided affair, with the USA completely overpowering Paraguay 4-1 to secure a resounding opening victory. We can’t help but marvel at how formidable the US team is!

Today, LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul, revealed on a show that about 10-12 teams have called expressing interest in signing James. Who said no one wants LeBron? Furthermore, Rich Paul stated that he and James have not yet had a detailed conversation about his future destination. "Don't believe all the rumors flying around, because I haven't talked to him about it even once."

This match was the first real test of neutral fans' willingness to buy tickets, and the rows of empty seats exposed the problems caused by the tournament's excessive commercialization. Sky-high ticket prices, a controversial dynamic pricing model, and the extreme costs and administrative barriers fans face when traveling to the U.S. have made the World Cup—an event meant to be open to the whole world—increasingly inaccessible.

After the US team easily defeated Paraguay, the three co-hosts of this World Cup remained unbeaten in their opening matches with two wins and one draw, making Qatar 2022 the only host in World Cup history to lose its opening game.

Written by Han Bing. Although Canada's second opening ceremony was far from perfect — an inflatable device malfunction caused the World Cup trophy model on the field to quickly deflate — the Canadian team still managed a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the smallest-capacity stadium in World Cup history, earning their first-ever point in three World Cup appearances. Had luck been on their side, with Bosnia clearing two shots off the goal line, Canada could have even claimed their first World Cup victory.
