🚨 Kings League World Cup: French clubs bow out 🥶
How hard it is.
This Thursday evening, the quarter-finals of the Kings World Cup were played, featuring the Panam All Starz from Pfut and Unit3d with Squeezie, Maxime Biaggi, and Djilsi.
Facing Fluxo, the Panam All Starz narrowly lost after a penalty goal from the Brazilian team (5-4).
In the other Franco-Brazilian quarter-final, Unit3d was simply destroyed by Furia, who won 8-1 after leading 6-1 at halftime.
There are therefore no more French clubs in the running, and the semi-finals will first pit Los Troncos FC against Fluxo FC, while Furia FC will challenge Ibai's Porcinos FC.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's Pep Guardiola wish revealed by Manchester City insider
Newly-unveiled Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has held a long-standing desire to work under Pep Guardiola in his career, according to new claims. The Liverpool Academy graduate brought an end to his stellar stay in English football and rise at Anfield by joining Los Blancos upon the expiry of his contract, becoming the latest English star to don the iconic Real Madrid shirt. Advertisement Trent Alexander-Arnold has been involved in some truly epic battles with Manchester City over the years, as they and Liverpool went head-to-head for numerous Premier League titles in one of the greatest eras in the competition's history. Such were the painful nature of City's remarkable comebacks to win the English top-flight crown that Alexander-Arnold spoke at length about the danger of giving Pep Guardiola's side an inch come the turn of the year in seasons. 'If you've ever got a chance to beat City, it's always before Christmas. Maybe they're still finding their feet in the first three, four months, then after Christmas to New Year, you can forget about beating them. Honestly, forget about it,' Alexander-Arnold said in December. 'Once it clicks around New Year, they go five months without losing, might draw one or two, but they just win and carry on winning,' he added. 'They've won four in a row, a Treble, incredibly strong with world class players, an incredible manager. Never rule them out.' Advertisement However, having now brought an end to his battles with Manchester City at Liverpool, new information has detailed the close relationship between Pep Guardiola and the defender, and the latter's long-standing ambition of working under the Catalan at some stage in his career. That is according to the information of Manchester City insider 'FPLMaineRoad' on X, who reveals that Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold began learning Spanish 12 months ago and also spoke with Pep Guardiola 'about five/six years ago' about wanting to work under him one day. While the two will no longer be going head-to-head in club football following the former Liverpool man's move to the Spanish capital, there remains an opportunity to meet as soon as this summer at the FIFA Club World Cup. The two sides will also be involved in next season's UEFA Champions League, with the draw for the revamped group stage of the competition to take place in August as sides look to dethrone Paris Saint-Germain from their new-found summit in European football.

Golf-Alligator near your ball? AI rules expert at U.S. Open will tell you what to do

Advertisement Inside a hospitality suite overlooking the 17th green at Oakmont Country Club are three demo terminals that feature an avatar of USGA rules expert Jay Roberts standing with steepled fingertips and awaiting any questions about golf rules. To interact with the Rules of Golf AI Avatar, a user must tap and hold their finger on the screen while asking a question in either English, Spanish or Mandarin and then get answered in that same language. When asked what to do if a golfer finds an alligator in the same bunker where their ball is, the avatar quickly shows some mental wit: "An alligator in the bunker, now that's a hazard." The avatar then proceeds to tell the user they can either take free relief by dropping their ball at the nearest point in the bunker where they are safe, no closer to the hole, or take a penalty stroke and drop outside the bunker. Advertisement Deloitte, in collaboration with the United States Golf Association, created the demo using four years of USGA expert-answered rules inquiry data, combined with advanced AI to provide real-time and accurate answers to rules questions. The avatar is not yet accessible to the broader community or stakeholders that the USGA works with but could ultimately serve players through an app on their phone or perhaps on a screen in their golf cart. According to Lou DiLorenzo, Deloitte's National AI & Data Strategy leader, the technology can help further educate golfers on the rules of the game, which can help ensure fair play and perhaps even speed up the pace of play. "What we are doing here is using technology to help make the game and the rules more accessible, which is good for more people to enjoy playing it under fair play conditions," DiLorenzo told Reuters. Advertisement "Ultimately we think it's going to help increase speed of play, we think it's going to help the interaction between the USGA and the courses that it serves and ultimately the membership that it represents."

OKTAGON confident in passing PFL as No. 2 MMA promotion – if it hasn't already
OKTAGON confident in passing PFL as No. 2 MMA promotion – if it hasn't already As MMA fans plead for PFL to find stability and assert itself as a viable alternative to the UFC, another budding promotion is making its own play for the No. 2 spot. After hosting its first event in December 2016, OKTAGON MMA has slowly but surely built momentum and a reputation in the industry. It has put on 86 events, with overwhelming majority happening in Czech Republic or Slovakia, with visits to Germany and England sprinkled in, as well. OKTAGON set an attendance record in October with more than 59,000 fans in Frankfurt, and that type of crowd didn't show up for no reason. The live event is not only a spectacle with shades of PRIDE and KSW mixed in, but the fights are often loaded with violence. "We really love our job, we love to sell out arenas and attract fans," OKTAGON co-promoter Pavol Neruda told MMA Junkie. "We have great TV deals around Europe, around the world actually. We're still trying to make it better. FightMatrix just said we are officially the third best promotion in the world after UFC and PFL. It's also very nice to hear that our effort is bringing it forward. We're always trying to deliver the most entertaining show for fans. This is the results. We are very, very happy with these events." Although the attendance numbers and interest in OKTAGON shows strong in Europe, Neruda, who is co-promoter along with his partner, Ondrej Novotny, admits there is still work to be done globally, and especially North America. That is still an untapped market for viewership, and he is confident it's there to be taken advantage of. Neruda said his company got a taste of what that audience can be during a streaming partnership with DAZN, but ultimately he said it wasn't as rewarding as desired, but there's confidence the next deal will have that upside. "Definitely we see North America as one of our most important markets," Neruda said. "We know that we have a great show. It's six hours of fun. It's good timing because it starts at noon and you can drink in the afternoon on Saturday with your friends and have a barbecue and watch fights. You don't have to wake up at 4 a.m. like we do to watch UFC here in Europe. It's in English, and it's a lot of entertainment. We know it has big potential. "We know the numbers when we used to be on DAZN. They were quite good, but we were not happy with the collaboration that much, so right now we are searching for a good partner, talking to different platforms in North America and we want to make a proper deal to make sure it will be super easy to access in North America for fans to watch, because we know it has great potential." As OKTAGON continues to build and hosts another event Saturday with OKTAGON 72 at Fortuna Arena in Prague (online pay-per-view), Neruda agrees there's a realistic path to taking the No. 2 position in the sport that PFL arguably holds purely by default. He said there is already data that shows the race is much closer than the casual fan might believe, and now it's Neruda's job to make sure that opportunity to grasped. "Many people say, 'But guys, you are already No. 2.' If you look at the metrics of how many people are going to our tournaments. PFL has a problem to sell small arenas for 20 pounds in the UK, for example, and we are selling every arena in Germany, Czechoslovakia at about 10,000," Neruda said. "Also the viewership, we know the numbers from DAZN, and they told us pretty fast, 'OK guys, you have better numbers than PFL and we don't even promote you that much because PFL is our product.' Depends how you look at it. I think the No. 2, if we are not there, we will be there very soon, and it's an amazing feeling. "I totally respect the UFC. That's the Olympics of our sport. I love them, and I love to watch it. It's too far. From the second place to first it's a pretty long way way. We would be very, very happy to be the No. 2 and the No. 1 in Europe for fans. Maybe for many people to be the most entertaining show in the world. In this category maybe we will be No. 1 from the perspective of some fans. That is our goal."
