Manchester United's dramatic advance to the final

 Manchester United succeeded in achieving a new record by advancing to the FA Cup final. British media ‘Sports Bible’ reported on the 22nd (Korean time), “Manchester United rewrote the history of the FA Cup by achieving a feat not seen in 139 years.” Manchester United drew 3-3 against Coventry City in the 2023/24 season FA Cup semi-final held at Wembley Stadium in London, England on the 21st (Korean time), but advanced to the final by winning 4-2 in a penalty shootout. The first goal was Manchester United. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Dalot crossed from the right side and McTominay finished lightly to make it 1-0. Manhester United did not end there. In the 45th minute of the first half, Maguire headed a corner kick from Bruno Fernandes to make it 2-0. Manchester United completely seized the momentum. In the 13th minute of the second half, Rashford overtook the opposing defense and entered the box, and Bruno Fernandes hit a shot in a mixed situation to make it 3-0. Up until thi

Masters Battle’ Masters opens on the 11th

 The Masters Tournament, the first major tournament of the men's golf season, begins on the 11th (Korean time) at Augusta National Golf Club (par 72, 7,555 yards) in Augusta, Georgia, USA. The Masters, which was founded in 1934 and is now in its 88th year, has the shortest history among the four majors, but is a prestigious tournament recognized by most players as the 'best major'. Among the four major majors, it is the only one where the tournament is held every year on the same course, and the total prize money is confirmed during the tournament period. It was $15 million in 2022 and $18 million last year. The number of players participating is the smallest among the four major majors, with 89 players competing for the championship this year. 'Defending champion' Jon Lam (Spain) was praised as 'Rambo' who saved the PGA Tour from a crisis when he almost lost the 'green jacket' given to the Masters winner to LIV Golf when he won last year. At that ti

LIV Golf must also be played in 4 rounds.”

 John Lam (Spain), ranked 3rd in the men's golf world rankings, who suddenly moved to LIV Golf ahead of this season, argued that the LIV golf tournament should be held in 4 rounds instead of 3. Rahm, who is participating in the season's first major tournament, the Masters, as the defending champion, said in an interview with the BBC on the 9th (Korean time), "It will help avoid controversy if LIV Golf is held as a 72-hole tournament." LIV Golf determines the winner through three rounds of 54 holes, and the World Golf Rankings (OWGR), which determines the world rankings, pointed to the fact that it is a 54-hole tournament as one of the reasons for not awarding ranking points to LIV Golf. Without exception, the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, as well as major men's professional golf tournaments around the world, determine the winner over 4 rounds and 72 holes. Lam added, “I don’t know if it’s just me, but I want to go back to playing 72 holes.” Rahm has left the PGA Tou

Park Chan-ho, Choi Won-jun, and Kim Do-young are deployed forward → Who will be the feared No. 9 hitter?

 KIA had three fast hitters. Chan-ho Park set a career high last year and established himself in the batting, Do-young Kim joined the team in 2022, and Won-joon Choi, who went to the military, was discharged, so the power of the three playing together was confirmed even if it was only for a short time last year. Having an effective batting lineup that allows the three to share the 9th batting order and table setter and lead to the central batting lineup of Na Seong-beom, Choi Hyeong-woo, and Socrates is one of the biggest reasons why KIA's power is considered strong. This year, KIA prepares a more solid batting lineup. We plan to try a lineup that completely deploys Park Chan-ho, Choi Won-jun, and Kim Do-young forward in 1-2-3 instead of 9-1-2. KIA coach Lee Beom-ho said, “I think it would be a good idea to try different things to see which batting lineup the opposing teams will be more burdened with. I plan to play a trial game by putting the three in 9-1-2 and 1-2-3. “I don’t kno

Will KT, led by Bass and Heo Hoon, take the second game and achieve 100% chance?

  The hero of Game 1 was Paris Bass. Bass performed well with 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 3 assists in 35 minutes and 24 seconds, giving Suwon KT a valuable win. In addition to scoring, he did not neglect rebounds, and showed off his presence on defense by recording two steals and two blocked shots. If Bass contributes in both offense and defense, it will be perfect for KT. It is true that he relies heavily on bass, but he is one of the best foreign players in the KBL, so if he bursts in, the game can easily be resolved. It is also nice to see that Heo Hoon, who will be a one-two punch with Bass, is alive. Until the third quarter, Heo Hoon failed to meet expectations with 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. In particular, he appeared to have poor zero-point aim, attempting five 3-point shots and only succeeding in one. However, he played an important role in the most important fourth quarter, scoring 11 points. If Heo Hoon scores along with Bath in the second game, KT's attack wil

Park Hye-jin, the protagonist of Woori Bank's victory,

  If you are choosing the ‘Best 5 famous scenes’ of the 2023-2024 women’s professional basketball season, this moment cannot be left out.

Park Hye-jin was a key player when Woori Bank achieved 6 consecutive wins starting from the 2012-2013 season. She has been named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the championship game three times, putting her in a tie for first place in the category. However, she began to show some signs of slowing down about two years ago as the psychological burden of her injury and 'burnout' increased. Woori Bank's Kim Dan-bi, who was also recruited as a free agent (FA) two years ago, and rookie Park Ji-hyun have establish

A match debut goal’ Park Jin-seop “I was surprised that my imagination of scoring a goal became a reality”

 Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk Hyundai), who scored his international debut goal in the World Cup qualifier against Thailand, expressed his thoughts on his first goal, saying, “I was surprised that my imagination became reality.” Park Jin-seop returned to Incheon International Airport with the men's soccer team on the 27th and said, "Even though it was an away game, many people came to support us, so I wanted to repay them with a better performance, and I was very happy to score my debut goal." Jin-seop Park led the team to a 3-0 victory by scoring his third goal following Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham) in the 4th game of Group C of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round match against Thailand the previous day. Park Jin-seop said, “I always imagined scoring a goal, and I was a bit surprised that it came true.” He added, “My first goal was to get out of the game, but I got into the game a little faster than I thought, and it fe

Interim director Hwang Seon-hong of ‘The End with Firefighters’,

I've never even thought about that. The Olympic team is entering the country tomorrow. It's a tight situation in terms of time. I'm planning to focus on that. I'm not thinking about anything more or less than that. ." Interim coach Hwang Seon-hong dismissed the possibility of taking over as official coach. 11 K-League players, including interim manager Hwang Seon-hong, and Kim Moon-hwan entered the country via Flight KE660 at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 around 5:30 pm on the 27th. The Korean national team went through a period of confusion ahead of the international match in March. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann was dismissed, and Olympic team coach Hwang Sun-hong was appointed as interim coach. It was not a formal director, but a concurrent role. In addition, there was internal strife within the national team that occurred during the Asian Cup, so the team was faced with the task of controlling the atmosphere and producing results.
