Mexico first to reach 2026 World Cup knockouts with cagey 1-0 win over South Korea

Published by Webster

5 min readJun 19, 2026 09:43 AM IST The chorus of boos that came with the half-time whistle at the Guadalajara Stadium on Friday confirmed what the statistics showed. The first 45 and a few minutes of football between Mexico and South Korea, which was to decide which side becomes the first in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to confirm a place in the knockouts, was a cagey snoozefest. Just one save to show and an xG of 0.11 for both sides, which roughly translates to almost negligible chances of seeing a goal. The Mexican players looked somewhat befuddled at the fans’ response. It was no secret they would take the pragmatic route when needed at this tournament. “At a World Cup, the team that plays the prettiest football does not always win. The team that knows how to compete does,” manager Javier Aguirre had said in the run-up to the tournament. At that point, however, it might be safe to assume that at least some of those playing for El Tri were wishing that …

South Korea come from behind to defeat Czech Republic in FIFA World Cup Group A tie

South Korea come from behind to defeat Czech Republic in FIFA World Cup Group A tie

Published by Parlour News

South Korea came from behind to stun the Czech Republic in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group A encounter at the Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico on Friday. Hwang In-beom and Oh Hyeon-gyu got on the scoring board as South Korea outclassed Czechia 2-1 to register a win in their opening match of the tournament. The first half of the contest remained goalless, and there wasn’t much to talk about the first 45 minutes of the tie. However, the second half made up for the lack of thrill and excitement, and both teams put on quite a show in front of a robust crowd.

Deepika Kumari leads India to historic win over Korea at Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai

Deepika Kumari leads India to historic win over Korea at Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai

Published by Webster

Before the semi-final against Korea at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai, Indian coach Prafull Dange kept his message simple. “Khud ko challenge kar ke fight karo. Korea ya kuch aur sochoge toh dikat ho jayegi (You have to challenge yourself to fight. If you think about Korea or other things, there will be difficulty),” he told Deepika Kumari, Ankita Bhakat and Kumkum Mohod. Moments later, the Indian trio beat Korea 5-1 to enter the final — only the fourth time in history that an Indian recurve women’s team has defeated Korea, a nation that has won ten Olympic titles in the women’s team event. The previous three victories tell the rarity of the achievement: the Indian team of Deepika, Bombayla Devi and Rimil Buriuly won gold at the Asian Grand Prix defeating Korea; Kumari, Devi and Chekroyolu Swuro edged out Korea in the World Championship semi-finals; and Devi, Kumari and Buriuly beat Korea in the World Championship final. India arrived in Shanghai with something to prove. At the Archery World Cup Stage …

South Korea seek to arrest Bang Si-Hyuk, the K-pop mogul behind BTS

Published by Parlour News

South Korea police said Tuesday they are seeking to arrest music mogul Bang Si-Hyuk, chairman of the agency behind K-pop supergroup BTS, as they expand an investigation into allegations that he illegally gained more than $100 million in an investor fraud scheme. Bang Si-hyuk, also known as “Hitman” Bang The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency confirmed that it has asked prosecutors to request a court warrant for Bang’s arrest. Representatives of Bang’s agency, HYBE, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bang has been under investigation since November over allegations that he misled investors in 2019 by telling them HYBE had no plans to go public, inducing them to sell their shares to a private equity fund before the company proceeded with an initial public offering. Police believe that the fund may have paid Bang around 200 billion won ($136 million) in a side deal that promised him 30% of post-IPO stock sale profits. Bang, a music executive and producer who founded HYBE as Big Hit Entertainment in 2005, is widely seen as one of …
