The South Korean national football team was ranked 22nd in the June Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) rankings, securing the No. 1 port in the draw for the third Asian qualifying group for the 2026 North American Football Confederations Cup.

In the June 2024 men’s soccer rankings released by FIFA on Tuesday (June 20), South Korea was ranked 22nd, up one spot from April’s ranking of 23rd.

South Korea, which started the June A-match (inter-national team matches) period under interim coach Kim Do-hoon, won both of its two Asian qualifying group matches against Singapore and China for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup.

The team thumped Singapore 7-0 away from home and then defeated China 1-0 at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

The two wins secured the team’s third place in the FIFA rankings among Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member nations, giving them the advantage of being drawn into Port 1 in the third qualifying group draw on July 27th.

The third qualifier will see 18 teams divided into three groups, with South Korea as the top seed to avoid Japan and Iran, who are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in Asia.

With 1,572.87 ranking points, South Korea maintained its position in Asia’s top three with a narrow lead over Australia (No. 23 – 1,571.29 ranking points), which was closely followed.

Japan (17th), Iran (20th), South Korea, Australia and Qatar (35th) rounded out the top five in Asia.

Indonesia, led by Shin Tae-yong, remained unchanged at No. 134.

Vietnam, coached by new coach Kim Sang Sik, dropped one spot to 116th, while Malaysia, coached by Kim Pan Gon, climbed three spots to 135th.

North Korea (110th) also jumped eight spots.

Argentina, France, and Belgium remain at the top of the world rankings. Brazil moved up to No. 4, pushing England down to No. 5. 슬롯사이트 추천

English Premier League (EPL) captain Son Heung-min of Tottenham has embraced his teammate Rodrigo Bentancur after receiving an apology for a racist joke directed at him.

“I had a conversation with Bentancur,” Son wrote on his social media (SNS) on Tuesday, “and he made a mistake. Bentancur apologized to me after recognizing his mistake,” he wrote.

“I don’t think Bentancur meant to be offensive,” he said, adding, “We are still brothers, and nothing has changed.”

Son Heung-min himself addressed the controversy, saying, “We will come together again in the upcoming pre-season and fight as ‘one team.

Tottenham also announced on their official social media that they would be conducting anti-discrimination training for the entire squad, including Bentancur.

“We are working hard to address this issue,” the club said, “and we will provide training on diversity, equality, and inclusion for all our players.”

“We fully support our captain Son Heung-min as he puts the controversy behind him and focuses on the upcoming new season,” the statement continued, “We are proud of our global fans and players. There should be no discrimination of any kind in our organization and society.”

Uruguayan Bentancur recently sparked controversy when he made comments about Son Heung-min during an appearance on a local television program.

When asked by the host to “get Son Heung-min’s jersey,” he replied, “I could bring him his cousin’s jersey and he wouldn’t recognize it. They look the same,” he said.

This was a racist remark that revealed a racist perception that all Asians look the same.

After a lot of criticism from fans, Bentancur took to social media to apologize to Son Heung-min.

In the post, he wrote, “Sonny, I apologize for what happened. What I said was a bad joke, you know how much I love you, and I never meant to disrespect or hurt you,” he wrote. 카지노사이트

South Korean golfer Bae Sang-moon took a strong step toward his third victory at the national title event, the Korea Open Golf Championships (KRW 1.4 billion in prize money).

The South Korean shot a 4-under 67 with six birdies and two bogeys in the first round of the 66th Korea Open at Woojung Hills Country Club (Par 71) in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, on Tuesday.

He finished the first day tied for the lead with Kwon Sung-yul and Kang Kyung-nam.

Bae won back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009 and will be looking for his third win in six years in 2018.

Starting on the 10th hole, Bae carded four birdies with one bogey in the first half to trim three strokes off the lead before adding two more birdies and one bogey in the second half.

Bae struggled after her tee shot left the fairway, but she got out of trouble with accurate chip shots and putts.

“On this course, if your tee shot lands in the rough, you can’t get your iron shot to the green and it’s hard to make birdie,” said Bae. “I will try to stay in the fairway as much as possible and leave uphill putts for the rest of the round.”

Kwon Sung-yeol, who has one win on the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Tour, and Kang Kyung-nam, who has 11 wins, are also well on their way to their first victories of the season.

Jang Yoo-bin Jang, who leads the Order of Merit, shot a 3-under 68 and is tied for fourth place.

Jang struggled in the first half of the tournament, but picked up steam in the second half with three straight birdies on the 10th through 12th holes.

She bogeyed the 15th and 17th holes, but eagled the 18th (par-5) to end the day on a high note.

He hit his second shot with a 6-iron with 190 meters to go, dropped it to 4 meters and finished with a putt.

“I made a lot of mistakes off the tee today, which was disappointing, but I’ll work on it and continue my good results tomorrow,” said Jang.

Steve Luton (England), Byun Jin-Jae, Hsin-Hsiang Chung (Chinese Taipei) and Tae-Hoon Ok (South Korea) also shot 3-under 68s to trail the leaders by one stroke.

Meanwhile, defending champion Han Seung-soo dropped a whopping 11 strokes and slipped to the bottom of the leaderboard, leaving him to worry about missing the cut. 안전놀이터

Yong-taek Park, 45, a KBSN Sports commentator, traveled to Jamsil Baseball Stadium to watch the moment his KBO League record for career hits was broken.

“I was proud of my record,” Park said, “but it’s even more meaningful when a more talented junior comes out and sets a new record. I came to personally congratulate the athlete for setting a new record.”

An official from the NC Dinos said, “If Son As-seob (36) sets a new record for career hits today, Commissioner Park Yong-taek will deliver a congratulatory bouquet.” “Commissioner Park first contacted the club to say, ‘I want to personally congratulate Son As-seob on achieving the record,'” the official said.

Son will become the KBO’s all-time leader in hits with one more hit against the visiting Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday.

The day before, Son had accumulated 2,504 hits, tying him with Park Yong-taek for first place.

On June 23, 2018, Park hit his 2,319th hit in an LG Twins uniform, passing Yang Jun-hyuk, the chairman of the Korea Baseball Foundation, to become the all-time leader in hits.

At the time, Chairman Yang visited Jamsil Stadium and hugged Park Yong-taek, who surpassed his record.

Park, who retired after hitting 2,504 hits through the 2020 season, will be happy to see his name drop to second place in the KBO’s all-time hits list after six years.

“On the day I set the record, Yang Jun-hyuk met me right before the game and said, ‘I might not be able to come tomorrow. I’ve cleared my schedule until tomorrow, but I hope Son Asub can achieve the record today,” Park said, laughing.

“The career hits record is not something that can be set in one or two good seasons. He’s a hitter who values every at-bat and every at-bat more than anyone else,” he said, adding, “He’s still in his prime. I think he will be able to set the 3,000-hit record.” He also sent a message of support to his junior.

When Son hits his 2,505th hit, a “short ceremony” will be held when he comes home with a run or returns to the dugout after an out.

Commissioner Park Yong-taek will present a bouquet of flowers to Son, along with NC president Lim Sun-nam, manager Kang In-hwa and Doosan players.

The KBO decided to use a pre-marked ball at Son’s bat to retrieve his KBO career-high hit memorabilia.

Many stakeholders are waiting for the moment when Son achieves his hard-earned hit record.

“His record is the result of a lot of things, including self-management, ability, and concentration,” said NC coach Kang In-hwa. He is synonymous with steadiness that everyone recognizes.” “He says that he is not conscious of the record, but he should set the record soon to ease the pressure. I hope he gets a hit soon.” 파워볼

Footballer Hwang Ui-jo, who is under investigation for allegedly filming himself illegally, has been summoned by prosecutors.

According to SBS on Tuesday, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office is investigating Hwang as a suspect in violation of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.

Hwang is suspected of illegal filming and secondary sexual assault. He is also accused of disclosing identifying information that could lead to the victim’s identification in a statement he made last November.

Earlier, in June last year, Hwang filed a police complaint against a netizen who claimed to be his former lover and shared photos and videos of Hwang and the women on social media, accusing him of blackmail and other charges.

However, during the investigation, police discovered the circumstances of her illegal filming and turned her into a suspect, sending the case to prosecutors in February this year.

The person who threatened Ms. Hwang was her brother-in-law, Mr. A. Mr. A was indicted in December last year and sentenced to three years in prison in the first trial. The prosecution recently asked the court to “sentence him to four years in prison” in the second trial.

In addition to this case, Mr. Hwang is also suspected of illegal filming. “Mr. Huang has not committed any illegal filming, and the allegations that he has committed multiple illegal filming are completely unfounded,” said Mr. Huang’s legal representative, adding, “Mr. Huang is the only person whose face and identity were exposed in his brother’s dissemination crime, and he is the main victim of the crime.”

“During the police investigation, 13 communication devices, including personal and business cell phones and PCs, as well as the communication devices of Mr. Huang’s brother and other close acquaintances were also seized, but no illegal videos were found,” he added. 사설토토

Higashioka I can become a cycling hit now.

Catcher Kyle Higashioka (34), a teammate of Kim Ha-seong (29, San Diego), expressed pleasant confidence in a postgame interview after hitting the final triple in an away game in Philadelphia on June 20, 2024.
This hit was Higashioka’s first triple in the major leagues.

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Turibune, a local media outlet in San Diego, Higashioka began by saying, “Last Tuesday, I talked with my teammate Luis Areez (27) about the cycling hit he achieved during his time at his former team, Miami.”
“I told Areez I could never hit a cycling hit because I’ve never hit a triple in the majors. But now I can,” he added.

In baseball, a ‘cycling hit’ means hitting all types of hits in one game, including singles, doubles, triples, and home runs.
Higashioka started as a catcher and 8th hitter in an away game against Philadelphia held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on June 20, 2024.

Higashioka hits a triple with 3 RBIs

Higashioka was silent on this day with no hits in three at-bats, but faced the opposing team’s reliever Gregory Soto (29) in his fourth at-bat, which came with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the eighth inning with the team leading by one run, 2-1.

Soto is famous as a pitcher with good ball speed in the league, with his fastball velocity exceeding 100 mph (about 161 km).
Higashioka hit a 2-pitch, 87.9 mph (approximately 141 km) slider thrown by Soto with the ball count of 1, and hit a timely 3-run triple that fell behind the Philadelphia center fielder who attempted to dive to catch it.

San Diego, which had recently been mired in five consecutive losses until today’s game, beat Philadelphia 5-2 thanks to Higashioka’s three RBIs and a timely triple, and added one valuable win to get out of its five-game losing streak.
Higashioka, who is in his 8th year in the major leagues this year, is not an offensive catcher, as his big league batting average (0.207) as of the 21st suggests.

Evaluation of Higashioka

He is evaluated as a typical defensive catcher with good pitching lead and good defense.
As of the 21st of this year, he has appeared in a total of 27 games this season, recording a batting average of 0.171, 5 home runs, and 10 RBIs.

It’s not a batting record worth showing off, but Higashioka has a knack for hitting shots at important moments, like the final triple he hit in the game on the 20th.
In the home game against Oakland on the 12th, with the two teams tied 3-3, he led the team to victory by hitting a walk-off solo shot that went well over the left field fence while at bat in the bottom of the 9th inning.

In an interview with the media, Higashioka made everyone around him laugh by speaking honestly about the background that led to the triple hit that day.
He said, “Soto not only throws a fastball in the 100 mph range (approximately 161 km), but he also throws a slider.

“In the major leagues, when a pitcher with that much velocity throws a slider, it’s actually not easy for a hitter to understand the type of pitch,” he said. “Therefore, when facing a pitcher like Soto, many hitters, including myself, prepare by focusing on the fastball. However, when he hit a triple, he thought it was a fastball and tried to swing, but the moment he realized it was a slider, he tried to stop the bat, but it ended up being a hit,” he said, revealing that the triple that day was a hit with good luck.

In fact, the exit speed of the triple hit by Higashioka was only 78.7 miles (about 127 km).
The velocity of the slider thrown by Soto was slower than 87.9 miles (approximately 141 km). This means that the ball was hit incorrectly and did not hit the center of the bat properly.

Higashioka said, “No matter what the situation was, I was very happy that I was able to score an RBI.
“Because it was the most important thing I could do in that situation,” he said, expressing satisfaction with the result.

Thanks to Higashioka’s winning hit that day, San Diego not only broke its five-game losing streak, but also returned to second place in the National League West Division with 38 wins, 40 losses, and a winning percentage of 0.487 this season as of the 21st.

Lionel Messi showed off his muscular body.

Britain’s 안전놀이터 media reported, “Lionel Messi has started building his body by showing off his forearms at the gym ahead of the Copa America in 2024.”

“Lionel Messi has entered a body-building mode by showing off his bulging forearms at the gym ahead of the 2024 Copa America,” British Toto website media “Goal Dotcom” reported on the 18th (Korea Standard Time).

Messi led Argentina’s national team to victory at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Messi’s performance at the 2022 Qatar World Cup is the best individual performance of Messi’s World Cup, and one of the best single-tournament performances in the history of the World Cup.

Messi has made achievements that others cannot set, including eight Ballon d’Or, 10 La Liga MVPs, 10 La Liga MVPs, four Champions League wins, one Copa America win, two Copa America MVPs, and two World Cup Golden Bowls, and has been almost regularly included in the top three along with Pele and Diego Maradona in the all-time player rankings selected by various soccer media before winning the World Cup. He has been considered the closest player to GOAT in soccer since he worked on the final puzzle of his career of winning the World Cup.

It brought the team to the top of the league.

He also seemed to end his career in Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 by moving to Inter Miami CF, a football barren U.S. Major League Soccer, but he went beyond keeping the last-place team alive in every game and rebuilt it as one of the strongest teams in North and Central America by winning the League Cup.

Messi is also playing one-man show at Inter Miami this season, and has scored 12 goals and nine assists in 12 league matches, elevating his team to No. 1 in the league. In Argentina’s 4-1 defeat of Guatemala, he scored two goals and one assist, showing that he is still alive.

He showed off his bulked-up body.

Messi then revealed his training on his Instagram ahead of the Copa America match. In addition to his training photos on the ground, he also posted photos of him doing weight training at a gym. Messi also showed off his bumpy arm muscles and his bulking body.

Meanwhile, Messi has scored 108 goals in 182 matches for the Argentine national team, and is still in the best condition just like his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still alive at the age of 39. Argentina, to which Messi belongs, plans to hold its first Copa America match against Canada on Monday (Korea time).

The Orange County Register, a local media outlet in Los Angeles, said on the 14th (Korean time), “Kershaw played a three-inning simulation game at Dodger Stadium.”

His maximum speed was 89 miles (about 143 kilometers), and he threw two-seam fastballs and changeups together.

Manager Dave Roberts responded positively, saying, “It’s getting better than expected.” 토토사이트 추천

According to the Los Angeles Times, pitcher’s coach Mark Pryor also said, “I performed live pitching as well. Both commands were good. I felt alive in the zone.” “Kershaw’s speed is the same as in the second week of the spring camp. It’s time to throw BP. It can be seen that this is the pre-trial stage.”

Kershaw will now play in minor league rehabilitation games to learn how to play. He plans to make at least four to five rehabilitation appearances over the next month.

Initially, Kershaw’s expected return was in July or August. Recovery is fast, so it is expected to return before and after the All-Star break.

Kershaw had surgery in November last year to repair the left shoulder shoulder, upper arm ligament and joint sac. Kershaw has since signed a one-plus-one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Since then, Kershaw has begun full-fledged rehabilitation training, starting with bullpen pitching in early May, and is now set to take the mound in a minor league rehabilitation game.

Kershaw was selected by the Dodgers in 2006 as the seventh overall pick in the first round of the Major League Rookie Draft. Kershaw, who took the big league stage for the first time in 2008, stood out in 22 games (21 starts) with a 5-5 record with a 4.26 ERA. The following year, he played in 31 games (30 starts) with an 8-8 record with a 2.79 ERA, growing into a full-fledged “Ace.”

Career high was 2011 season. He pitched in 33 games and recorded a whopping 233 ⅓ innings, 21 wins and five losses and an earned run average of 2.28. In the same year, Kershaw achieved the “triple crown” by ranking first in ERA along with the National League’s most wins and best strikeouts (248 strikeouts) title, and even held the Cy Young Award in his arms.

He pitched 13 2/3 innings in 24 games last year, recording 13-5 losses and a 2.46 ERA.

In his 16 seasons in the Major League, he has played in 425 games (422 starts), including 10 All-Star games, 3 Cy Young Awards, 3 multi-win titles, 3 ERAs, 3 strikeouts, 1 World Series championship (2020), and 1 National League MVP (2014), and has a tremendous record of 210-92 losses and 2.48 ERA.
