Venezuela Takes On Bolivia In Huge FIFA 2026 World Cup Clash
Eduard Bello of Venezuela celebrates after scoring the team's second goal during the CONMEBOL Copa ... More America 2024 Group B match between Ecuador and Venezuela at Levi's Stadium on June 22, 2024 in Santa Clara, California. The biggest game in South American FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying this week doesn't involve the likes of Brazil or Argentina. It is a gigantic fixture between two teams vying for a World Cup play-off spot; Venezuela and Bolivia. Venezuela and Bolivia have comfortably been the two least successful soccer nations in South America in modern history. Bolivia hasn't qualified for the World Cup since 1994 and Venezuela has never made the finals of the tournament in the history of the national team. Thankfully for them the likes of Peru and Chile have seen massive dips in form. 17 JUN 1994: BOLIVIAN FANS HOLD UP THEIR NATIONAL FLAG DURING THE OPENING CEREMONY FOR THE 1994 ... More WORLD CUP AT SOLDIER FIELD IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. For one of these international teams things could soon change as they battle for a play-off birth at the FIFA 2026 World Cup. On Friday night Venezuela hosts Bolivia in a game where a win would see either team move into seventh place and a draw would leave Venezuela in seventh for now, but just one point ahead of Bolivia. A play-off victory for either nation would mean that they could become the seventh team to represent CONMEBOL and the continent of South America at the World Cup next summer. Rest assured that the Monumental de Maturín stadium in Venezuela will be absolutely bouncing for this one. Salomon Rondon of Venezuela celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the South of American ... More FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier between Venezuela and Peru at Estadio Monumental de Monagas on March 25, 2025 in Maturin, Venezuela. Despite being just one point behind Venezuela, Bolivia has a -16 goal differential to Venezuela's -4 and this begins to tell us a little bit about their story. Bolivia has been less consistent and lost eight from 14, where Venezuela has only lost 5 and picked up more draws. Generally this is because Bolivia is a completely different beast at home and away. Bolivia is probably the worst team in South American qualifying but results at home in the fierce altitude of El Alto has seen the side creep up the table. Draws at home to Uruguay and Paraguay and victories against Colombia and Venezuela simply would not have been attained at sea level. Opposition players have been seen fighting for breath and leaving oxygen tanks at the side of the pitch when they come to play Bolivia. Bolivia's defender #04 Luis Haquin and Uruguay's defender #02 Jose Maria Gimenez jump to head the ... More ball during the 2026 FIFA World Cup South American qualifiers football match between Bolivia and Uruguay at the Municipal de El Alto stadium in El Alto, Bolivia, on March 25, 2025. Venezuela started this campaign bravely but have struggled as of late. Last time out a home victory against Peru might have been enough to salvage their year and put them back on track for qualification, but now they must do it again. Bolivia may be buoyed by the altitude, but the truth is that Venezuela and Ecuador are the only teams unbeaten in home qualifiers so far. This doesn't take away from the fact that home advantage is what makes Bolivia competitive, it just means Venezuela also takes most of its points when they are hosting. A massive boost for 'vino tinto' fans ahead of Friday, where visiting Bolivia is the massive underdog despite being just one point away. After this tie there are still three games for each team to play, but fixtures suggest that this game will be the most important for Venezuela and Bolivia. A draw on Friday would leave the chase wide open, but a victory for either would be a huge push towards seventh place and a shot at a historic trip to the FIFA 2026 World Cup. Players of Venezuela celebrate during the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 Group B match between Venezuela ... More and Mexico at SoFi Stadium on June 26, 2024 in Inglewood, California.

Hawaii artist teams up with LA Rams for Maui Training Camp
When the Los Angeles Rams open their 2025 training camp on Maui later this month, the NFL franchise will showcase a fresh island-inspired identity, thanks to the creative vision of Hawai'i-born artist Aaron Kai. A graduate of Kamehameha Schools Hawai'i and a native of Hilo, Kai has been commissioned by the Rams to create exclusive artwork for the team's upcoming camp at War Memorial Stadium, which begins June 16. Now a Los Angeles resident, Kai described the collaboration as a full-circle moment, blending his Island upbringing with his current home on the mainland. 'It means a lot, man. Having the LA Rams reach out to me, especially living out here in Los Angeles now and being a local boy from Hilo. It's kind of nice to make that connection and bring the art together,' Kai said. 'I think it's great that they're tapped in with native Hawaiian artists to bring authenticity to it.' Kai's original artwork celebrates Maui's rich culture and landscape while also providing the Rams with limited-edition merchandise and on-site branding that will be featured throughout training camp. His custom logo design will even be painted directly on the team's practice field, a moment he called a 'pinch-me' experience. 'We're actually lucky enough to be painting this logo that I designed for the Rams, a little Hawai'i twist on it,' Kai said. 'Being able to do what I love, representing Hawai'i, and doing it on a scale like this for a team like the LA Rams, it's really incredible.' For Kai, the project is about more than branding. It's about inspiring youth and spotlighting creative pathways beyond the playing field. 'I hope the kids in Maui get inspired,' he said. 'Not everyone gets to make it to the league professionally. There are a lot of other great avenues where you can stay in the game and use your creativity.' Fans will have the chance to meet Kai and purchase his exclusive Rams merchandise at a special pop-up shop in Wailea Village from June 14 through June 18. The shop will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. leading up to the start of training camp. For more information on the upcoming Rams Training Camp on Maui, click here.

49ers overhaul defensive line with rookies and Bryce Huff after disappointing season
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers have built their defense out from the defensive line ever since coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch arrived eight years ago. An underwhelming performance from that unit during a disappointing 2024 season has led to a near complete overhaul at the position with San Francisco now counting on three rookies and recently acquired edge rusher Bryce Huff to give enough support to holdover star Nick Bosa to get back to having a dominant front.
