The news, distilled into what matters.
- Lionel Messi will not play in the 2026 MLS All-Star Game — MLS removed him from the roster and named replacements.
- His absence is excused (no suspension) because he just returned from Argentina’s World Cup run that ended in the final.
- Although named to three straight All-Star rosters, Messi has never appeared in MLS All-Star Weekend (missed 2024 with an ankle injury and opted out in 2025).
- Arsenal are surprise contenders to sign Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior as his contract talks stall — the Gunners are reportedly monitoring the situation but no formal talks yet.
- Vinícius is entering the final year of his deal and is demanding big wages (reported €20m net), leaving Real Madrid in a tricky position over whether to cash in.
- A move to Arsenal would be a major statement — adding elite attacking quality and potentially linking him up with fellow Brazilians like Gabriel and Martinelli.
- Aaron Donald's return to the Rams is still possible — Sean McVay said the team would try to make it happen but gave no confirmation.
- Reports say Donald recently worked out in full pads and a source believes he's leaning toward unretiring.
- If he returns he'd join a star-studded Rams lineup (Stafford, Adams, Puka) and pair his decorated résumé (111 sacks, 3 DPOYs, Super Bowl ring) with new addition Myles Garrett.
- Zelenskiy says Russia plans to bring in 30,000 North Korean troops, with preparations reportedly underway in the Voronezh region.
- He notes North Korea already sent about 14,000 soldiers to Russia’s Kursk region in 2024 under a mutual defense pact.
- Kyiv warns North Korea is supplying missile launchers and gaining combat experience — a wider threat to Asian countries — and says Ukraine will respond.
- The Patriots have reportedly offered Christian Gonzalez an extension that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL and the largest contract in team history — and talks are ongoing.
- Gonzalez broke out in 2025 with a Pro Bowl nod, led the postseason with seven passes defended and made the game-sealing interception in the AFC Championship vs. Denver.
- A 2023 first-round pick, Gonzalez has rebounded from early injuries and emerged as a rising cornerstone of New England’s defense.
