Written by Nino. In the World Cup quarterfinal at Kansas City Stadium, Argentina faced a grueling battle on both tactical and physical levels. Against a Swiss team with near-perfect defensive discipline, they could not settle the match within 90 minutes and even appeared shaky after the score was leveled.

By Han Yixi. At the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the felt temperature reached 43 degrees Celsius, the quarterfinal between England and Norway took an unexpected turn. The highly anticipated duel between the two star strikers, Haaland and Kane, never materialized, as both players had rather lackluster performances. The spotlight was entirely stolen by Bellingham, who scored twice in the knockout stage for the second consecutive game.

By Han Bing. Perhaps the 33°C heat at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium dulled the edge of Haaland, who hails from Scandinavia. Norway lost 1-2 to England in extra time, missing out on the World Cup semifinals. Haaland, who had a lackluster performance, was substituted early by Solbakken, thus losing the chance to compete for the Golden Boot. Regrettably, Norway was perhaps only one "Flying Cat" camera distance away from becoming the fourth consecutive World Cup dark horse.

The Cong Viettel and Song Lam Nghe An each won their semi-final matches to earn a spot in the final of the 2026 National U13 Championship.
