Football Fever: Premier League Drama and MLS Action

A late VAR call erased what could have been an Everton winner, leaving fans buzzing. Catch the replay on NBC Sports (US) or Sky Sports (UK) if you missed it.

South of the border, Inter Miami closed their 2025 preseason unbeaten run with a 2‑2 draw against Orlando City. Messi and Luis Suárez linked up nicely, but defensive lapses kept the score level. Goals from Martín Ojeda and Ramiro Enrique for Orlando balanced the tally, while Tadeo Allende and Fafà Picault kept Miami in the game. The team now eyes its Champions Cup opener.

In a surprising tactical twist, Ruben Amorim explained why Manchester United dropped Patrick Dorgu into right wing‑back during his FA Cup debut versus Leicester.

Tragic Skies: Two Fatal Aircraft Crashes in the US

The Learjet 55 carried a child patient, her mother, and four crew members – none survived. Debris spread across the neighborhood, prompting NTSB and FAA investigations to find out what went wrong.

Less than a month later, an American Airlines regional jet collided mid‑air with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over Arlington, Virginia, near Reagan National Airport. Both aircraft plunged into the Potomac River, killing all 67 people aboard. Recovery crews retrieved bodies and flight data while officials confirmed no terrorist link.
