The Colombian Football Federation has condemned individuals who sent death threats to striker Haminton Campaz and his family following the team's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16. Colombia drew 0-0 with Switzerland in 120 minutes before losing 3-4 on penalties. During extra time, Campaz had a clear chance in the penalty area facing the goalkeeper but shot wide in a shocking miss.

Following the match, Campaz and his family received death threats from fans. The forward, who plays for Rosario Central in Argentina's league, posted on Instagram calling for people to show respect and prevent football passion from breeding hatred and fear.

The Colombian Football Federation released a statement declaring: "No athlete or national team member deserves to be threatened simply for representing their country. Football must be a space for unity, respect, and hope—not a place for hatred, threats, or violence. We call on all Colombians to stand together and ensure that what happens on the field of play does not transform into threats or attacks on those dedicated to representing our nation."

The statement also recalled the 1994 World Cup tragedy when defender Andrés Escobar, who scored an own goal against the United States, was shot and killed by gunmen just days after Colombia's elimination and his return home.

Barcelona is set to bolster its attacking lineup after reaching an agreement to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi, with only minor administrative details remaining. According to Athletic, Barcelona is strengthening its forward options by acquiring Adeyemi from German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. The deal is structured at €22 million guaranteed, plus additional conditions and a sell-on clause that would benefit Dortmund if Adeyemi is sold in the future. Only minor formalities remain. The 24-year-old joined Dortmund in 2022 and has been a key player for the club, though he experienced form and fitness issues last season that led to his exclusion from Germany's 2026 World Cup squad. Barcelona has an opening in its attack following Robert Lewandowski's contract expiration and exit, the sale of Ansu Fati, and the club's failure to exercise its option on Marcus Rashford.

Despite conceding their first goal of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Spain defeated Belgium in the quarterfinals on July 11 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to advance to the semifinals and face France.

Spain's reigning world champions faced Belgium's European powerhouse in the quarterfinal matchup. Spain had narrowly beaten Portugal 1-0 in the round of 16 and had been the tournament's only unbeaten team until this match, while Belgium crushed co-host United States 4-1.

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation with starters Unai Simón, Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsi, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Guéhi, Rodri, Fabián Ruiz, Lamin Yamal, Dani Olmo, Álex Balde, and Mikel Oyarzabal. Belgium, under Rudy García, used the same 4-2-3-1 setup with Thibaut Courtois, Timothée Castagne, Nathon Ngoyo, Brandon McKenzie, Maxim De Cuyper, Hans Vanaken, Nicholas Raskin, Leandro Trossard, Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku, and Charles De Ketelaere in their starting eleven.

The first half began competitively before Spain took control and applied sustained pressure on Belgium. After halftime, Belgium gained possession, but in the 30th minute Spain's Dani Olmo fired a shot that the keeper couldn't hold, and Fabián Ruiz followed up to give Spain a 1-0 lead.

Belgium adjusted their approach with aerial balls, and in the 41st minute Charles De Ketelaere equalized 1-1 with a chance from a direct ball into the box, marking Spain's first goal conceded in the tournament.

The second half saw Spain dominating possession while Belgium mounted dangerous counterattacks, keeping the match tense throughout. In the 88th minute, Pau Cubarsi's long-range shot deflected off Belgium's goalkeeper to Miguel Merino, who converted the rebound to restore Spain's lead at 2-1 and secure their advancement.

Spain will face France in the semifinals on July 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

A drug addict experiencing severe hallucinations deliberately set fire to his home after his wife fled with their child in fear for their safety. Despite undergoing treatment multiple times, he relapsed each time he returned, ultimately losing control and burning down his own house. On July 10, 2025, at 3:15 p.m., investigating officer Lieutenant Colonel Sopone Jeerasut of Prajuabkhirikhan Police Station in Prachuap Khiri Khan received a report of a man in a delusional state burning his own residence in Khamtonod subdistrict. Firefighters were dispatched and quickly arrived at the scene. The single-story wooden house was completely engulfed in intense flames that spread rapidly due to the old, dry timber serving as excellent fuel. Firefighters deployed water to contain the blaze amid strong winds and desiccated wood conditions, eventually extinguishing the fire. Only charred posts remained. The homeowner was apprehended at the scene. Local administrator Suchat Dechsuphaa explained that the man had developed severe drug-induced psychosis and mental illness despite multiple rehabilitation attempts. Each time he returned home, he would relapse and use drugs again until he lost his mind and burned down his house. He previously had a family with a wife and child, but they fled because they feared his dangerous behavior, eventually leading to divorce. Authorities have filed preliminary charges and ordered a psychiatric evaluation before proceeding with legal action.
