Back to Vale: Tiago Lemos Skates His New Balance Numeric 808 Lite Back Where It All Began
New Balance Numeric just dropped a rad new clip of Tiago Lemos putting his new 808 Lite to work at a skate spot that means a lot to him—Vale. If you don't skate, it's hard to understand the deep relationship skateboarders can have with random skate spots, but that feeling is universal for many of us. Many of us have that random slab of cement, crusty parking lot or local park that we spent hours at growing up, and for Tiago, it was Vale. Take a look: "I love Vale. I practically grew up skateboarding here," Tiago mentions. "If I had no place to stay, sometimes I slept on the street just so I could be here skateboarding in Vale with my friends."

Hearing Tiago talk about sleeping on the streets and looking at where he is now is pretty inspiring, to say the least. He's come a long way and he ain't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, it seems to me like he's only getting stronger and stronger every day. It seems like people have been super stoked on Tiago's reimagined New Balance Numeric 808 Lite. "We've reduced the overall weight, increased the flexibility and improved the fit," NB# mentioned on Instagram. "Still the same durability and protection that Tiago loves, simplified and refined for his personal preference." Advertisement Look for 'em at your local shop. And hey, go skate your favorite childhood spot this weekend. Your skateboard will thank you.

Mexico president calls for US immigration forces to spare fans at LA soccer game
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent a message to US immigration forces in Los Angeles, asking for grace for fans at the Mexico vs. Dominican Republic Gold Cup soccer game at SoFi Stadium Saturday. 'We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any [immigration] action … we call for none to be taken by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,' Sheinbaum said in a Friday press conference. Advertisement 'Mexico will always promote peace,' she added. A now-deleted post to social media post by US Customs and Border Protection stated a promise to be 'suited and booted' at the first round of Club World Cup soccer matches this week. In response to its social media post, the CBP said it regularly provides security at big sporting events. 'US Customs and Border Protection is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the FIFA Club World Cup 25 is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the Super Bowl. Our mission remains unchanged,' it told The Associated Press on Thursday.

'Murderers, pedophiles, and drug traffickers. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect. How much longer will Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass continue to prioritize these criminal illegal aliens over their own citizens?'

FIFA president Gianni Infantino feels World Cup fever: 'Soccer is conquering America'
We might still be one year out from the 2026 World Cup, but FIFA president Gianni Infantino is already feeling the energy from sheer anticipation of the world's biggest tournament coming to Canada, Mexico and the United States next summer. "Football or soccer is conquering America," Infantino told FOX Sports' Alexi Lalas during FOX's "FIFA World Cup 26: One Year To Go" celebration in Miami on Friday. "It will be a great celebration. Millions of fans will celebrate in the 16 host cities, in the stadiums but also in the fan festivals everywhere. "We will flip the country upside down, and then back up and back down." So far, 13 countries have punched their tickets to the 2026 World Cup, including the three co-hosts, all of which automatically qualified. Of the 10 countries that qualified through competing in group play, two — Uzbekistan and Jordan — will be making their first-ever appearance, thanks in large part to the new 48-team format. "The emotion is exactly the same whether you're Argentina, a world champion, or Uzbekistan or Jordan," Infantino said. "This is what we want all over the world. It's a big emotion." Before the 2026 World Cup next summer, FIFA will host the revamped Club World Cup in the United States. "One month, the best players in the world, the best clubs in the world, to determine who will be the real world championship for clubs," Infantino said. "Not only national teams, but clubs. It's about time someone created a new Club World Cup, right?" The tournament's opening match between Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly FC will take place on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
