MLB Cubs bullpen pitcher fractures left hand after hitting wall in anger after

Allowing 3 runs

Cubs reliever Colton Brewer

Colton Brewer (31), a bullpen pitcher for the Chicago Cubs in the US Major League Baseball (MLB), suffered a fracture after hitting the dugout wall in a fit of anger after being pulled from the mound.

On the 7th (Korean time), Brewer came on as a relief pitcher for starting pitcher Kyle Hendriks in the top of the 3rd inning when the Angels were down 0-2 in a home game against the Los Angeles Angels held at Wrigley Field in Chicago, USA.

But Brewer was taken off the mound after allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks, including a throwing error in ⅔ innings.

After coming down from the mound, Brewer seemed disappointed with his pitch and hit the dugout wall with his fist, breaking a bone in his left hand.

Brewer, who was eventually placed on the 60-day injured list (IL), will not be able to play for the time being.

The only silver lining is that Brewer, a right-handed pitcher, injured his left hand.

Brewer, who made his major league debut with the San Diego Padres in 2018, played for the Boston Red Sox in 2019, the New York Yankees in 2023, and is wearing the Cubs uniform this season.

His career record over 6 seasons is 2 wins, 5 losses, 8 holds, 1 save, and an ERA of 5.10 in 100 games. 해외 카지노 사이트

Ohtani, MLB's third career 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases

Otani, steals third base

Shohei Ohtani (30, Los Angeles Dodgers) achieved 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases for the third time in his career since entering the Major League Baseball (MLB).

On the 8th (Korean time), Ohtani started as the designated hitter in the home game against the Milwaukee Brewers of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA, and added two stolen bases.

In the bottom of the third inning, with one out, Ohtani got on base on a center-field hit, stole second base for his 19th stolen base of the season, and then double-stealed with Freddie Freeman, who drew a walk, to reach his 20th stolen base of the season.

Ohtani, who had already hit 28 home runs, reached 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases on this day.

Ohtani, who has played in the MLB since 2018, recorded 46 home runs and 26 stolen bases in 2021 and 44 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 2023 while wearing the Los Angeles Angels uniform.

This year, after transferring to the Dodgers, he became the first player in MLB to join the 20-home run-20-steal club in the 2024 season, on the day the team played its 91st game.

With the team having 71 games left in the regular season, it seems likely that Ohtani will achieve 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases for the first time.

Ohtani finished the game with 1 hit and 2 stolen bases in 5 at-bats, and the Dodgers lost 2-9.

As of the 8th, Ohtani is batting .314 with 28 home runs, 20 stolen bases, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 1.036. 카지노사이트 추천

MLB's 'Monster Rookie' Skins, All-Star selection in less than a year

'Doosan Ramos' younger brother SF Ramos also makes his first All-Star appearance

Pittsburgh Monster Rookie Paul Skins

'Special rookie' Paul Skins (21, Pittsburgh Pirates), who showed skills that could dominate the league as soon as he debuted in the major league, will step onto the stage of the 'star-studded' Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game.

Skins was named to the final roster for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, announced by the MLB office on the 8th (Korean time).

Skins, a right-handed orthodox pitcher who throws fastballs exceeding 160 km/h, was selected first overall in the first round of the 2023 MLB Draft held on July 10th last year and wore the Pittsburgh uniform.

This year, he appeared in 7 games for the Indianapolis Indians, a Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, posting an ERA of 0.99, and was promoted to the major leagues in May.

Since his promotion to the major leagues, the Skins have been bombing the league with a 5-0 record, 59⅓ innings, 78 strikeouts, and an ERA of 2.12 in 10 games.

The MLB office has set out to create stars by nominating the Skins, who are quickly emerging as the league's representative stars, as All-Star players.

Drafted by Pittsburgh on July 10th of last year, Skins earned the honor of being named an All-Star less than a year after being drafted.

"I thought my chances of going to the All-Star Game were slim because I started the season in Triple-A," Skins told MLB.com. "It's an honor to be able to play in the big leagues for a little while and go to the All-Star Game."

Skins is even tipped to be a possible National League starting pitcher in the All-Star Game.

"I'm not expecting it, but it would be really cool if it happened," he said.

Outfielder Heliot Ramos (24, San Francisco Giants), younger brother of Henry Ramos (32), who plays for the professional baseball team Doosan Bears, was also selected for his first MLB All-Star.

Ramos, who debuted in the major league in 2022, had only appeared in 34 games until last year.

This year, the season opened in the minor leagues as well, but San Francisco center fielder Lee Jung-hoo (25) suffered a shoulder injury in mid-May, ending the season, increasing his opportunities to play.

Ramos, who made a dramatic return to the major league stage, led the San Francisco offense with a batting average of 0.299, 12 home runs, and 41 RBIs in 54 games, and became an All-Star.

"I still can't believe it. I played with all my might, not to become an All-Star, but to help the team win. I'm so grateful," Ramos said.

This year's MLB All-Star Game will be held on the 17th at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, the home stadium of the Texas Rangers. 카지노사이트

World No. 2 Goff eliminated Two 10th seed remaining in Wimbledon women's singles

Sinner Alcaraz advances to men's singles quarterfinals

Coco Gauff (USA), ranked 2nd in the world in the women's professional tennis (WTA) singles, failed to advance to the round of 16 in the Wimbledon singles (total prize money of 50 million pounds, approximately 87.5 billion won).

On the 7th day of the tournament held at the All England Club in London, England, Goff lost 0-2 (4-6 3-6) to Emma Navarro (17th, USA) in the round of 16 of the women's singles.

Last year's US Open champion Goff showed a particularly weak performance at Wimbledon.

He finished runner-up at the 2022 French Open and reached the semifinals of the Australian Open this year, but has never reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

With Iga Swiatek (No. 1, Poland) eliminated in the third round the previous day and Aryna Sabalenka (No. 3, Belarus) unable to compete due to injury, Elena Rybakina (No. 4, Kazakhstan) is the top seed remaining in the tournament.

Of the top 10 seeds, only two remain: 2022 champion Rybakina and this year's French Open runner-up Jasmine Paolini (7th, Italy).

Four of the eight women's singles quarterfinalists were determined today, and three of them, excluding Paolini, have never reached the semifinals of a major tournament.

Lulu Sun (123rd, New Zealand), who defeated Emma Raducanu (135th, Great Britain) 2-1 (6-2 5-7 6-2) in the round of 16, became the first player to advance to the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon women's singles since Kaia Kanepi (Estonia) in 2010, 14 years ago.

It is also the second lowest ranking in the last 15 years that a world number 123 has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon women's singles.

The lowest ranking was 181st in 2018 by Serena Williams (USA), who had dropped down the world rankings in 2017 after giving birth.

This year marks the first time a New Zealander has reached the quarterfinals of a major women's singles event since Belinda Cordwall at the 1989 Australian Open, a span of 35 years.

Sun was born to a Croatian father and a Chinese mother and played as a Swiss player until last year, but changed his citizenship to New Zealand this year.

Sun will compete for a spot in the semifinals against Donna Vekic (ranked 37th, Croatia), who reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open last year

In the men's singles, Yannick Sinner (No. 1, Italy) and Carlos Alcaraz (No. 3, Spain) both advanced to the quarterfinals.

Sinner will face Daniil Medvedev (5th, Russia) in the quarterfinals, and Alcaraz will face Tommy Paul (13th, USA) in the semifinals if they win.

The head-to-head record between Sinner and Medvedev is 6-5 in favor of Medvedev, but Sinner has recently won five straight. Alcaraz and Paul are tied at 2-2.

Kim Jang-jun (ranked 12th, junior ranking below), a member of the Orion Tennis Team who participated in the junior men's singles, defeated Jack Kennedy (ranked 31st, USA) 2-0 (6-3 6-1) in the first round.

In the junior women's singles, Jang Ga-eul (ranked 38th) lost 0-2 (1-6 1-6) to Jelline VanDromme (ranked 11th, Belgium) in the first round. 해외 카지노 사이트

Big match from the start of the second half

1st place KIA vs 2nd place LG Jamsil Stadium showdown

The match between 5th place SSG and 8th place Lotte, and 3rd place Samsung and 4th place Doosan is also of interest.

The 10 professional baseball teams that had a short All-Star break are resuming their fierce battle for rankings.

With the gap between 1st and 10th place being just 13 games, even the top teams have no time to catch their breath.

Lower-ranked teams have hopes of making the leap to the top.

A big match that will steal the attention of baseball fans has been scheduled for the first week of the second half of the season starting on the 9th.

The KIA Tigers, who finished the first half in first place, will play three games in a row against the second-place LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul from the 9th to the 11th.

KIA led LG in head-to-head matches in the first half with 6 wins and 3 losses.

James Nail, who ranked first in ERA (2.66) in the first half of the season, pitched well in the LG game with 1 win and an ERA of 1.96 in 3 appearances.

KIA's replacement foreign player Cam Aldred also pitched once against LG and although he did not get a win, he pitched well, allowing 2 hits and 2 runs (unearned) in 6 innings.

KIA is expected to field Nail, Aldred, and homegrown ace Yang Hyeon-jong as starters for the first three games of the second half.

In the first half, LG did not have a pitcher who won as a starter against KIA.

Dietrick Enns and Son Ju-young each started three times against KIA, but failed to secure a win.

In the first three games of the second half, LG plans to deploy Casey Kelly, Ens, and Lim Chan-gyu.

LG manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop predicted, "We will have a proper fight for rankings starting in the second half."

With starting shortstop Oh Ji-hwan about to return, LG's offense and defense could get a boost.

The results of the three-game series between 5th place SSG Landers and 8th place Lotte Giants in Incheon during the week could be a turning point in the battle for mid-ranking positions.

The gap between SSG and Lotte is only 3 games.

Lotte, which finished March and April in last place (winning percentage of 0.276, 8 wins, 21 losses, 1 draw), narrowed the gap with the middle ranks by rising to 3rd place in winning percentage in May (0.565, 13 wins, 10 losses, 1 draw) and 1st place in winning percentage in June (0.609, 14 wins, 9 losses, 1 draw).

SSG has been holding on to 5th place with a winning percentage of around 0.500 throughout the season.

The lower-ranking teams, including Lotte, look at the rankings, conscious of the gap with 5th-place SSG.

SSG, which narrowly edged Lotte with 4 wins and 3 losses in the first half of the match, needs to gain the upper hand in the first three games of the second half to escape Lotte's pursuit.

Another game to watch is the three-game weekend series between the Samsung Lions and Doosan Bears at Jamsil from the 12th to the 14th.

Samsung suffered five consecutive losses at the end of the first half, slipping from second place to fourth place.

However, the gap with 3rd place Doosan Bears is not that big, with a 1 game gap and a 5 game gap with 1st place KIA.

Samsung made a major personnel change during the All-Star break, replacing all of its first-team head coach, pitching coach, batting coach, and battery coach.

Head coach Lee Byeong-gyu, pitching coach Jeong Min-tae, and battery coach Lee Jeong-sik were sent down to the Futures team, and hitting coach Lee Jin-young changed his role to assistant hitting coach. Bullpen coach Kwon Oh-joon was also sent down to the rehabilitation team.

Futures manager Jeong Dae-hyun was promoted to first-team head coach and pitching coach, third-team coach Tachibana Yoshiie was promoted to batting coach, and second-team coaches Kang Young-sik and Chae Sang-byeong were promoted to first-team bullpen coach and battery coach, respectively.

With the team undergoing a major coaching staff shakeup, many eyes are paying attention to the Samsung dugout.

Doosan, which suffered a crushing defeat to Samsung in the first half with 1 win and 8 losses, is looking to get revenge in their first match in the second half. 온라인카지노사이트

Dodgers' Kershaw resumes rehabilitation pitching

3 innings scheduled for Triple-A game on the 14th

Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw (36), the 'living legend' of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the US professional baseball league, is putting his efforts into rehabilitation pitching to make a comeback this season.

American sports media ESPN reported on the 8th (Korean time) that Kershaw will pitch 3 innings in a Triple-A game on the 14th to check the condition of his shoulder.

Kershaw previously pitched two innings in a simulated game held before a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodger Stadium on the 7th.

"It was nice to see him pitch two innings," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who watched Kershaw pitch. "He's doing what we want him to do."

Kershaw, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation after undergoing shoulder surgery after the 2023 season, pitched three innings of rehabilitation in Single-A on June 20, but stopped training after experiencing shoulder pain.

Kershaw, who has started rehabilitation training to get back in shape, is expected to have his return in the second half of the season determined by his performance in Triple-A.

Kershaw, who has won the Cy Young Award three times, is a special star who is considered to have a guaranteed spot in the Hall of Fame after retirement, but due to injuries and poor performance in recent years, he signed a '1+1' contract with the Dodgers in February.

"I think this is a contract that will lead the team and me in a good direction," Kershaw said shortly after signing the contract, which was said to have more incentives than guaranteed money. "The fact that I can choose whether to extend the contract after a year will be a good motivation for me." 카지노사이트 추천

Kim Ha-seong, hits for 2 consecutive games Team loses due to silence in batting line

Kim Ha-seong celebrates after hitting a ball

Ha-seong Kim (28), who plays for the San Diego Padres in Major League Baseball (MLB), hit a hit in two consecutive games.

Kim Ha-seong started as the 8th batter and shortstop in the home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA on the 8th (Korean time), hitting 1 hit in 3 at-bats, maintaining his season batting average of 0.229 (71 hits in 309 at-bats).

On this day, San Diego's batting lineup only managed 1 run with a total of 4 hits, and starting in the 7th inning when the score was tied 1-1, they gave up 8 runs, losing 1-9.

Former coach of the disabled national team found guilty in second trial for

‘forced sexual assault’ “Victim’s credibility”

It has been belatedly revealed that the former head coach of the national fencing team for the disabled was found guilty in the appeal trial for sexually assaulting a female coach in her 20s, breaking the not guilty verdict in the first trial.

According to the legal community on the 1st, the 2nd criminal division of the Gwangju District Court (presiding judge Kim Young-ah) overturned the original verdict and sentenced Mr. A (54), who was indicted on the charge of forced sexual assault on March 20 and found not guilty in the first trial, to a fine of 5 million won.

The case is currently in the process of an appeal to the Supreme Court due to Mr. A’s appeal.

Mr. A was indicted on charges of sexually harassing a female victim in her 20s (then a coach) in a hotel parking lot in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, in the early morning of August 17, 2020.

The prosecution indicted Mr. A after seeing him grab the victim's hand and say things like "let's kiss" and "let's go on a date" and repeatedly touching specific parts of her body.

Mr. A denied all of the charges. The trial court found Mr. A not guilty in August 2022, citing the fact that the victim's statement was contradictory and inconsistent. The 카지노사이트

trial court impeached the credibility of the victim's claim based on the players' KakaoTalk conversations in which "other players talked about framing the coach as a sexual harasser and getting him removed from the coach position" and the witness's statement that "the coach did not sexually harass." In addition, the court ruled that the victim and others seemed to have hoped for disciplinary action against the defendant, citing the fact that the victim applied for the vacancy created by the defendant's resignation from the coach position due to the incident. However, the second trial court found that the original trial misunderstood the facts. The second trial court ruled, “The witness statement that ‘the defendant did not sexually harass the victim’ was a draft provided by the defendant,” and “It seems that the players had negative feelings toward the defendant as a coach, but it does not seem that they fabricated the sexual harassment.” At the same time, it emphasized, “The victim’s statement of sexual harassment is consistent and not contradictory,” and “It can be admitted that the defendant forcibly harassed the victim, just as in the indictment.” Regarding the victim’s application for the coach position, it was explained, “The victim applied for a full-time coach position at the Korea Disabled Fencing Association, which is responsible for recruiting new players, but it does not seem that he applied for the national team coach position.” The court emphasized, “The defendant harassed the victim, who had a close work relationship, and the nature of the crime is not good considering the relationship between the defendant and the victim, the circumstances of the crime, and the method of the crime,” and “The sentence will be determined by taking into account all sentencing conditions, including the fact that he was not forgiven by the victim.”  토토사이트 추천

Lingard runs wild with captain's armband on FC Seoul enjoys 3 consecutive wins

Seoul, who plays as captain with K-League debut goal, wins 3 consecutive games for the first time in the season… rises to 6th place in the league

Professional soccer K League 1 FC Seoul is on the rise with its first three consecutive wins of the season. At the center of this is Jesse Lingard (32), who is wearing the captain's armband and playing an active role.

As of the 1st, Seoul is ranked 6th in the league with 7 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses (27 points). It has raised its ranking from 9th place last month to 6th place, which is the final A (upper split) Maginot Line.

At the center of Seoul's rise is Lingard, who has completely blended in with the team.

Lingard, who has been a starter for 8 consecutive games since returning from injury, has even worn the captain's armband in the last 4 games while captain Ki Sung-yong is out with an Achilles tendon injury.

Lingard, who has been showing off his active performance in both offense and defense, even scored his first goal of the season in the home game against Gangwon FC in the 19th round on the 26th of last month, which many fans had been waiting for. In 카지노사이트

the away game against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 20th round on the 29th of last month, which was a 5-1 victory, he did not directly score an attack point, but he contributed to the goal by creating opportunities with his sensible development.

In particular, Lingard's picturesque backheel pass opened the attack when Han Seung-gyu scored an additional goal in the 47th minute of the first half. With this, Lingard led the team to victory in 3 out of the 4 games he has been captain, and improved both the team's performance and the team's atmosphere. In addition, he broke the Jeonbuk jinx that had plagued them for the past 7 years, failing to record a win in 21 consecutive games, adding more meaning than just a simple victory. Former Manchester United striker Lingard of the English Premier League (EPL) was a superstar who drew a lot of attention just by wearing the Seoul uniform this season. On March 10th, the home opener against Incheon United, 51,670 spectators came to Seoul World Cup Stadium to see Lingard, setting a new K-League record for the largest attendance since 2018. However, after the 3rd round match against Jeju, he complained of knee pain and underwent knee surgery, leaving the team. He returned to the ground after two months in the 13th round match against Daegu FC on the 19th of last month. After his return, he showed his active movements as expected from his reputation, but he failed to score, leading to rumors of his return to the EPL. As Lingard faltered due to his absence and goal drought, his team Seoul also fell into a long slump in the middle of the season, recording five consecutive home losses. It wasn't just the team atmosphere that was excited by Lingard's comeback. Seoul's supporters, the 'guardians', were also excited by Lingard's performance. Lingard, who immediately threw his heart toward the supporters after scoring his debut goal in the Gangwon match, also showed off his trademark flute celebration from his EPL days right after the match ended. After the victory against Jeonbuk, he took off his uniform and threw it at the fans who came to cheer him on even on the away game. After the match, he did not hide his love for the team and the fans by posting related photos and messages on his social network service (SNS). As Seoul is about to play against Jeju United, who have been struggling with 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 matches, on the 6th, soccer fans are paying attention to whether Seoul can achieve their 4th consecutive win and Lingard can score his first field goal.  토토사이트 순위

Instead of renewing the contract British media “Tottenham expected to activate

Son Heung-min’s 1-year extension option”

"We will have the option to sell him for a transfer fee or persuade him to renew his contract."

There are foreign media reports that Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL) will exercise a one-year extension option instead of renewing Son Heung-min's contract. The

British media outlet Football Insider exclusively reported on the 1st (Korean time), "Tottenham is expected to exercise the contract extension option for Son Heung-min."

Son Heung-min is a key resource for Tottenham, having served as captain for the 2023-2024 season, but has recently been embroiled in transfer rumors.

As his contract with Tottenham expires next summer, there are many talks about re-signing and transfers. 메이저사이트

In particular, the one-year contract extension option included in the four-year contract renewal signed in 2021 is also known to be one of Tottenham's options.

'Football Insider' predicted that Tottenham will choose to exercise this contract extension option. If the media claims, Son Heung-min could stay at Tottenham until the summer of 2026.

The media explained, "With Son Heung-min's contract continuing until 2026 with the extension option, Tottenham will be able to make long-term plans for the striker." He added, "Similar to the case of Harry Kane (who transferred to Bayern Munich last season), Tottenham will be able to sell Son Heung-min for a large transfer fee (or) have the option to persuade him to sign a longer contract." He also pointed out that the renewal is not only about the club's intentions, but also Son Heung-min's will to stay with him. The media emphasized, “Of course, Tottenham’s biggest problem is that they need to convince Son Heung-min that this is the right club for them to win trophies at the club level.” Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who is the subject of the rumors, remained tight-lipped despite the various possibilities. After playing in the 6th match of Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asia 2nd Qualifiers at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 11th of last month, Son Heung-min said in a mixed zone interview, “I have nothing to talk about. I haven’t talked to the club,” and “It’s true that the reports have been distorted and I feel a little uncomfortable.” He also said, “I’m always doing my best for Tottenham. I still have time left on my contract,” and that nothing has been decided regarding his future. 토토사이트

'Final preliminary round confirmed'

Kim Do-hoon returns to Korea today Meeting with open training fans on the 8th

The final match of the second preliminary round against China on the 11th.

Kim Do-hoon, who secured a resounding victory over Singapore to advance to the final Asian region qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup, will return to Korea today through Incheon International Airport.

The Korean men's soccer team, led by interim coach Kim Do-hoon, is scheduled to return to Korea via Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 7th.

In the 5th match of Group C of the Asian region 2nd qualifying round against Singapore held at the Singapore National Stadium on the 6th, Korean soccer team consisted of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Joo Min-gyu (Ulsan HD), Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City). , achieved a 7-0 victory thanks to goals from key strikers such as Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton).

Core resource Son Heung-min, as well as Lee Kang-in and Hwang Hee-chan, continued their upward trend by scoring goals.

In addition, frontline striker Joo Min-gyu recorded the second-oldest debut goal in A-match history at 34 years and 54 days old, and 'rookie' Bae Jun-ho scored a debut goal in his debut match.

Korea, with 4 wins and 1 draw (13 points) with this victory, will secure first place in the group regardless of the result of the final 6th home game against China scheduled for the 11th at Seoul World Cup Stadium and advance to the 3rd preliminary round where the 2nd place in each group will be awarded. Successfully advanced.

The Korea Football Association, which was unable to find a new head coach after the dismissal of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany), appointed former Ulsan HD coach Kim Do-hoon as its second 'temporary head coach' following Hwang Sun-hong, then coach of the U-23 national team, in March. We participated in this Singapore expedition. Despite successive temporary manager systems, Korean soccer did not waver and moved one step closer to the finals for the 11th consecutive time. They secured first place in their group and advanced to the final qualifying round, but a victory against China is desperately needed. Korea (23rd) ranks 3rd among Asian countries in the April FIFA rankings, following Japan (18th) and Iran (20th). Only by maintaining third place in Asia can they advance to the World Cup with relative ease by avoiding top seeds Japan and Iran in the final qualifying round, which is divided into three groups. However, the point gap with Australia, which is 24th in the FIFA rankings, is not large, so the rankings may change depending on the result of the China game. Although it is a must-win game, the team is expected to run at its usual pace without overdoing it. According to the Korea Football Association, the national team is scheduled to take a break after returning to Korea today. The next day, on the 8th, they reconvened at Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do to prepare for the match against China through recovery training.

After a complete loss, Singapore coach said, “Korea is a team of a different class “

“Our players were scared.”

Korean players are taking commemorative photos during the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying group match between Korea and Singapore held at The National Stadium in Singapore on the afternoon of the 6th (local time). On this day, South Korea won 7-0 against Singapore. 

After Singapore's Japan-born coach Tsutomu Ogura was completely defeated by Korea, he praised Korea, saying, "They were a team of a completely different class."

Singapore lost 0-7 in the 5th match of Group C of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia Region 2nd qualifying round against Korea held at Anbang National Stadium on the 6th (Korean time).

Singapore used a tactic of actively pressing rather than defending against the powerful Korea, but as a result, it gave up space behind them and ended up collapsing early on. Singapore failed to mount a counterattack and lost helplessly in front of a crowd of 48,183 people.

After the game, Coach Ogura said through the Singaporean media ‘The Straits Times’, “I apologize to the Singapore fans. “A lot of people came to watch us play, but we couldn’t do what we wanted to do,” he apologized.

He continued, “Korea was a team that played soccer of a completely different class. It wasn't easy. “But I promise not to give up and make even more progress next time,” he added.

Coach Ogura placed significance on the attempt to be aggressive rather than defensive. “The approach was good,” he said. “There is more to Singapore soccer about taking on challenges and meeting them rather than simply setting up blocks and holding on,” he argued.

He said, “But as we continued to concede goals in the second half, the players became nervous and were completely intimidated by Korea. “From then on, everything was over,” he said, expressing regret that the players suffered a mental breakdown. 고스톱

‘22 consecutive wins’ Deoksu High School

One-two punch – perfect inside and outside fields “The level is different”

The 78th Golden Lion Cup opens tomorrow Deoksu, the ‘king of kings’ chosen by professional baseball scouts, has an iron wall on the mound between Hyunwoo Jeong and Taehyung Kim Park Jun-soon is aiming for an upset of Se-Gwang High, the winner of the Chungcheong region, who hit .500 in 14 games this year. Attention is also paid to the opening match between Daegu Senate and Gyeonggi Commercial High School.

‘This feeling’ this year Busan High School players are happy after defeating Sunlin Internet High School 12-3 in the finals of the 77th Golden Lion National High School Baseball Championship and Weekend League King of Kings last year.

The 78th Golden Lion National High School Baseball Championship and Weekend League King of Kings will be held for 15 days from the 14th to the 28th. The Golden Lion boasts the longest history as a high school baseball tournament hosted by a single media company in Korea. In this tournament, held at Mokdong Baseball Stadium and Shinwol Baseball Stadium in Seoul, 57 teams, the largest ever, including the 'defending champion' Busan High School, advanced to the finals. Another feature of this competition is that the number of participating club teams has increased to double digits (10).

Deoksu High School was chosen as the top candidate for this year's championship by scouts from 10 professional baseball teams. 8 out of 10 people predicted Deoksu High School to win. Deoksu High School, which is attempting to win this tournament for the first time in 7 years after losing twice in a row in 2016 and 2017, has been on a 22-game winning streak in official games of the Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) since last year, including winning the Seoul Region A championship in the first half of the weekend league by winning all 6 games.

Kim Min-soo, head of the Samsung scouting team, said, “Duksu High School has a tight pitching and fielding staff, led by ‘one-two punch’ Jeong Hyun-woo and Kim Tae-hyung (both seniors). “The players’ ability to solve problems with each other is also at a different level,” he commented. Among Deoksu High School hitters, second baseman Park Jun-soon (3rd year) is receiving the most attention. Park Jun-soon has a batting average of 0.500 (23 hits in 46 at-bats), 4 home runs, 19 RBI, and 7 stolen bases in 14 games this year.

Segwang High School (7 wins, 1 loss), the winner of the Chungcheong region, which has the potential to face off in the semifinals, was selected as a candidate to prevent Deoksu High School from advancing to the finals. Lee Sang-won, Kiwoom team leader, said, “It is true that Deoksu High School is ahead in terms of power, but we don’t know what kind of surprises will happen in the tournament. “Segwang High School has a good combination of Kwon Min-gyu (2nd year), a left-handed pitcher who throws a variety of pitches, and right-handed power pitcher Woo Seung-wan (3rd year),” he commented. Lotte team leader Kim Poong-cheol said, “There is a high probability that Sekwang High School will meet last year’s champion, Busan High School, in the round of 16. “If Se-Gwang High School takes on Busan High School and is on the rise, it will be difficult to predict victory or defeat even if they face Deoksu High School,” he said.

The potential of Busan High School, which is challenging for the championship for two consecutive years, cannot be ignored. KT team leader Lee Chung-mu said, “Busan High School has good skills not only among third-year students but also first- and second-year students,” and chose Busan High School as the dark horse for the championship. Busan High School won the weekend league Gyeongsang C title again this year with 8 wins and 1 loss. Ahn Ji-won (2nd year), last year's Golden Lion Most Valuable Player (MVP), will challenge for MVP for the second consecutive year, which has only happened twice in the history of the Golden Lion.

The most notable match was the Mokdong opening match between Daegu Sangwon High School and Gyeonggi Sangwon High School. Daegu Sangwon High School (12 wins, 1 loss), the winner of the Gyeongsang Area B weekend league, is said to have a solid team batting average of 0.350 and a team ERA of 1.84. Gyeonggi Commercial High School, ranked second in Seoul Area C (5 wins, 3 losses), has high hopes for ‘returning ace’ Lim Da-on (3rd year). Da-on Lim underwent elbow ligament joint surgery (Tommy John surgery) last year and was unable to pitch in practice, but returns to the mound through the Golden Lion.

Doosan team leader Yoon Hyuk said, “There is a high probability that the team that wins this game will face Jeon High School (10 wins, 2 losses), the winner of the Daejeon/Jeonbuk region, in the round of 16. “This team that wins the round of 16 will continue to advance to the finals,” he predicted. Jeon High School's strength is the mound supported by right-handed fastball pitcher Jeong Woo-joo (3rd year). Gyeonggi Area A champion Yoo Shin-go (10 wins, 1 loss) is also considered a dark horse to win the championship. Yushin High School's strength is that it has a diverse lineup of players, including second baseman Shim Jae-hoon (junior), who recorded a cycling hit in a weekend league game. 온라인섯다
