Mejía Barón to Ferretti: When you get old, you cry over anything
"Tears are for use. Hasn't anyone of you used them? You have to use them when it's convenient. "Tuca", my buddy, I love him so much. That's his way of directing. He told him to stop being a crybaby. When one wants to cry, it doesn't matter that much, that's what I've learned over the years and it's gotten worse with time. When one is already old, one cries for anything," he mentioned.
"Tuca" called the young blue-and-gold goalkeeper a crybaby after he cried at the end of the match against Santos, in which his teammates, and even the rivals, approached him to console him, as his mistakes in goal were decisive in the 3-0 defeat.

Football and falls as first humanoid robot games launch in China
The first World Humanoid Robot Games began on Friday in Beijing with over 500 androids alternating between jerky tumbles and glimpses of real power as they compete in events from the 100-metre hurdles to kung fu. Hundreds of robotics teams from 16 countries are going for gold at the Chinese capital's National Speed Skating Oval, built for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Events include traditional sports like athletics and basketball, as well as practical tasks such as medicine categorisation and cleaning. "I believe in the next 10 years or so robots will be basically at the same level as humans," enthusiastic 18-year-old spectator Chen Ruiyuan told AFP. Human athletes might not be quaking in their boots just yet. At one of the first events on Friday, five-a-side football, 10 robots the size of seven-year-olds shuffled around the pitch, often getting stuck in a scrum or falling over en masse. However, in a 1500m race, domestic champion Unitree's humanoid stomped along the track at an impressive clip, easily outpacing rivals. The fastest robot AFP witnessed finished in 6min 29.37sec, a far cry from the human men's world record of 3:26.00. One mechanical racer barrelled straight into a human operator. The robot remained standing while the human was knocked flat, though did not appear to be injured. - 'National strategy' - Robot competitions have been held for decades, but the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games is the first to focus specifically on robots that resemble human bodies, organisers said. The Chinese government has poured support into robotics hoping to lead the industry. Beijing has put humanoids in the "centre of their national strategy", the International Federation of Robotics wrote in a paper on Thursday. "The government wants to showcase its competence and global competitiveness in this field of technology," it added. Joost Weerheim, an operator with a Dutch five-a-side robot football team, told AFP he was impressed. "I think right now if they are not already the world leader, they are very, very quickly becoming it," he said. Domestically, authorities are working to raise awareness of the sector across society. Cui Han, accompanying her 10-year-old, told AFP that her son's school had organised and paid for the trip to the Games. "I hope it will encourage him to learn more about these new technologies," she said. In March, China announced plans for a one-trillion-yuan fund ($139 billion) to support technology startups, including those in robotics and AI. The country is already the world's largest market for industrial robots, official statistics show, and in April Beijing held what organisers dubbed the world's first humanoid robot half-marathon. Chen, the 18-year-old, told AFP he was about to begin studying automation at university. "Coming here can cultivate my passion for this field," he said. "My favourite is the boxing because... it requires a lot of agility and I can really see how the robots have improved from before." At the kung fu competition area, a pint-sized robot resembling one from the popular Transformer series attempted to execute a move, but fell flat on its front. It spun around on the floor as it struggled to get back up, the crowd happily cheering. bur-reb/pst

⛈️ Golf ball-sized hail halts Leverkusen's DFB-Pokal match
The first round of the DFB Cup is in full swing - now everywhere (again). However, there have been significant complications in the Leverkusen match. In Aspach, where Bayer is currently aiming to secure their place in the second round against the regional league team SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, the ball initially rolled smoothly for only about 17 minutes. After that, rain, hail, and finally storm gusts, lightning, and thunder caused referee Michael Bacher to interrupt the game at 0:0 at 6:17 PM. "The game was interrupted because hailstones the size of golf balls are currently covering the playing field," the English 'X' account of Bayer Leverkusen aptly wrote. Even after about ten minutes break, there was no indication that the game could continue soon. However, at 6:45 PM, the stadium announcer announced that the game should resume at 7 PM, after the field was cleared of water. This then happened - the game resumed at 7 PM in the 18th minute after about a 40-minute interruption. So far, it doesn't seem like the home team could benefit from the interruption: In the 32nd minute of the game, Patrik Schick scored the opening goal for his team. Arthur increased the lead to 2:0 in the 74th minute. Thus, Leverkusen is on track to advance to the second round - albeit still delayed and with a later end of work than on the fields of the parallel games.
