The champion reigned supreme as Joey Chestnut staved off a horde of hungry challengers at the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on New York’s Coney Island. Chestnut endured sweltering temperatures to wolf down 66 franks and buns in 10 minutes and claim his 18th Mustard Belt during the Independence Day tradition. His next closest competitor, Patrick Bertoletti, managed to eat 51 wieners for a distant second. “I knew right away that I was fast, and I knew I was going to be able to get the win — and I knew also I wasn’t going to break…

Morocco suffered a major early setback in their World Cup 2026 last-16 tie against Canada in Houston on Saturday when top scorer Ismael Saibari had to be replaced through injury. Reigning Eredivisie player of the year Saibari, who scored once in each of the Atlas Lions’ group-stage games and converted the decisive penalty in their last-32 shootout against the Netherlands, showed his anguish after making way for Soufiane Rahimi in the 22nd minute. “This is a real concern,” former England striker Chris Sutton told BBC Radio 5 Live of Morocco’s plight without Saibari. “He’s pulled his shirt over his head.…

The company’s robotaxi roadmap mentions future expansions to Orlando and Tampa. Miami residents are getting another option for autonomous taxi services, at least for those who live in a specific portion of the Floridian city. As posted on X, Tesla has expanded its Robotaxi service to a small section of West Miami.

When you first walk into the Museo del Juguete Antiguo México (MUJAM) — an easy-to-miss collection of old, discarded toys that are kept inside a former apartment building in Mexico City’s Doctores neighborhood — there is nothing that can prepare you for the onslaught of surrealism that will unfold. Founded in 2008 by Roberto “Beto” Shimizu, a Japanese-heritage Mexican, the museum is an archive (if not a hoarder’s den) of cultural objects and, over the years, graffiti. In a likely never-before-seen combo, it holds the world’s largest collection of publicly viewable toys — the museum claims they have over one…

Now that the World Cup is underway, green soccer jerseys seem to be on at least half of the people I see when I go out. I don’t have one myself — I’m missing the gene that makes one able to enjoy team sports — but I like them. They’re nice.

Mexican fans are now talking of “Fortress Azteca’”where their team has won four games without conceding a goal. England, in contrast, has looked mediocre up front and vulnerable at the…
