As the new year unfolded, Los Angeles faced the terrifying fury of wildfires—powerful enough to leave even the most secure Hollywood mansions trembling.

In one corner, you’ve got Conor McGregor, a UFC legend who made his mark as the first-ever dual-weight world champion. And in the other, Logan Paul—a man who carved out his own lane in the boxing world and WWE, and arguably does just as much for the sport outside of the ring as he does inside of it.

The multiplayer experience in Call of Duty games has changed a lot over the past few years. Initially, things like skins and calling cars were more military-themed, a serious tone that worked perfectly with the game’s theme.

Hollywood villains are often portrayed as the epitome of evil, the exact opposite of the story’s protagonist. However, it wouldn’t be wrong to argue that some Hollywood villains challenge the simplistic good-versus-evil narrative, leaving viewers to question whether the “hero” was truly on the moral high ground.

Not only do their motivations reveal surprisingly valid points, but they also make such compelling arguments that their actions, if not entirely justified, at least seem understandable. While Thanos is often cited as a popular example due to his ideology of ‘balancing the universe,’ there are many other on-screen characters who fit this mold just as well.

Consisting of 22-minute episodes, “Messi and the Giants” will follow Leo as he tries to save the once-thriving world of Iko from the giants who rule the 10 realms. The 12-year-old boy — who is the size of a flea compared to the giants, is...

Saudi Arabia has been confirmed as host of the 2034 soccer World Cup.

The tournament will come just 12 years after Qatar hosted the world’s biggest global soccer tournament.

In the past half hour, Saudi Arabia has been confirmed by the sports governing body FIFA. Saudi Arabia ran unopposed for the tournament after FIFA tweaked the rules and brought forward the deadline, and so the outcome was wholly expected. The nation has said it will embark on an enormous construction project with 11 new stadiums required to support a World Cup that will feature 48 teams.

The decision has already been widely condemned by human rights organizations, who cite the abuse and deaths of migrant workers and suppression of the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people in the country. Similar criticism was leveled at Qatar before 2022, with question marks remaining throughout the tournament.

Meanwhile, the 2030 World Cup was confirmed to be hosted by Spain,...

The shattering of a childhood dream is symbolic of the cruelly contorted fate of a nation in “Baghdad Messi.” Kurdish-Belgian filmmaker Sahim Omar Kalifa has expanded his much-acclaimed 2012 short into an affecting social drama that unfolds amid violence and fear in Iraq, 2009, during the second Gulf War. Centered on a soccer-mad young boy whose family is forced to move from the capital to a small village after his leg is blown off in a terrorist attack, “Baghdad Messi” has an almost documentary-like realism that makes compelling viewing of Iraq’s international feature Oscar submission.

Born in Iraqi Kurdistan during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-88), Kalifa fled to Belgium in 2001 and has since forged a successful career with Oscar-shortlisted shorts, feature fiction (“Zagros”) and co-directing the 2023 documentary feature “Iraq’s Invisible Beauty,” a portrait of Iraqi photographer Latif al-Ani, whose work since the 1950s has documented Iraq’s architectural landmarks and urban landscape,...

Some analysts are wondering how the streamer can afford to pay so much, only to offer matches for free, after recent financial losses.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will see 32 of the world’s top club soccer teams competing in a winner-take-all tournament. Global soccer stars like Lionel Messi and many others are set to participate, and on Wednesday it was announced that Dazn had won the tournament’s global broadcasting rights. Now, analysts are questioning how the company can afford to pay for the games, especially in light of its plan to stream them to non-paid subscribers.

Key Details: Dazn plans to offer all matches from the Club World Cup for free. The streamer lost $1.2 billion in 2022, but still reportedly agreed to pay around $1 billion for the rights. The Saudi Public Investment Fund is considering a $1 billion investment in the service. Sign Up $24.99+ / month dazn.com
