Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim has acknowledged making mistakes during his time as head coach of Manchester United at Old Trafford. Amorim recently took over as the new head coach of AC Milan in Serie A Italy, following his dismissal from Manchester United's Premier League post in January after approximately 14 months in charge. In a recent interview, Amorim stated: "It's difficult to explain the mistakes because I need to explain the full context of this recent adventure first." "It's hard to tell you about every mistake. The only thing I can say is that I've learned a lot, and I did make mistakes in some things." "I didn't get the opportunity, and I regret that. As for Manchester United fans, I'm truly proud to have been their coach for a year." "But now it's a different history. There are many things I could have done better from the recent experience, but sometimes that's how it is. You need to learn to find the right point to move to the next level, and I think that's here." "Everyone learns from experience. I've learned a lot. I made some mistakes, and there are many things I'm trying to change, and some things you never change, but I think I'll be a better coach."

Courtois: Belgium Can Spring Upset Over Spain
11h ago Khaosod

Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes his team, the "Red Devils of Europe," can pull off a shock at the World Cup by defeating Spain in the last eight. Belgium faces Euro champions Spain in the World Cup 2026 quarterfinals on July 11.

Courtois stated that Belgium could achieve a major upset by beating Spain, one of the tournament favorites. "Everyone in our team knows it's possible. I think we have a strong team with the quality that Spain must respect," he said.

"Upsets happen in every tournament—Champions League, Europa League, the World Cup—there are always surprises. I believe we can be one of them. Knocking out the European champions would certainly defy expectations. The confidence is already there."

"Of course, Spain are favorites. They have excellent possession, and when they lose the ball, they press quickly," Courtois added. "That's the key point—knowing how to exploit the space behind their defensive line quickly."

Woman in Viral Video Files Complaint Over Life Ruined

A woman featured in a viral video claiming 77 million views filed a police complaint after losing her job and facing public shaming, insisting she was deceived about the man's marital status and was heavily intoxicated during the incident.

Woman in Viral Video Files Complaint Over Life Ruined
11h ago Khaosod

A woman featured in a viral clip insists she is not a mistress and has filed a police report seeking maximum legal action. Her life has been devastated—she lost her job and faced public shaming—after a video showing her with a married man went viral on social media, racking up 77 million views. She claims she was deceived into believing the man was single and didn't know he had a registered spouse.

The case began when Bam, the man's wife, discovered him in bed with another woman and recorded video footage. The clip spread rapidly online under the title "Doraemon Pillow Leaves Green Thermos." Bam appeared on a talk show and stated that despite her love, she cannot forgive him this time and will proceed with divorce.

The woman in the viral video, a coworker of the man, spoke publicly for the first time after filing her complaint. She revealed the incident happened quickly and she was heavily intoxicated at the time, unaware of what was occurring. She emphasized she is pursuing the case against the woman who posted the video and will not negotiate.

"I don't know what to say—it's too severe. I can't handle this right now because everything happened so fast, and I was drunk so I didn't understand anything," she stated. "I've filed a complaint and will pursue this to the end. The defamation and indecency—they didn't blur my face, I'm visible in everything. My family is suffering because people know who we are."

She clarified that the man told her he was single when they first met. "The first time we talked and got together, he said he was single. He confirmed he was always single," she explained, adding she didn't see any signs at his place indicating he was married.

When asked about the impact on her life, she said: "It's been a lot. I lost my job because I didn't have the courage to face anyone. My parents called crying, asking why I did this. I had to explain to my mother that I didn't intend this, I didn't know anything, I was drunk. Before meeting or talking to someone, you need to know if they're single. In the video, he said he was single. I had no idea about his marriage certificate. I only knew he'd had an ex-girlfriend."

She stressed she was not in a relationship with him: "We were friends who worked together, went to parties, and hung out. I was extremely drunk that day—I lost consciousness. I thought he was just a friend getting food with me. That woman and I normally joke around like that."

Regarding the moment captured in the video, she said: "When I smiled, I didn't realize I wasn't wearing clothes. I forgot. When I started to realize it wasn't right and regained some consciousness, I tried to cover up. Before that, we were drinking heavily."

She firmly denied being a mistress: "It hurts. I'm not a mistress. I don't even know him that well. It was my first time going there, never before. You can ask his side because my intentions were pure. I never saw Bam, never knew her. I just found out her name is Bam."

When asked if she fears Bam filing charges against her, she replied: "No, because I didn't do anything. It might be legally wrong that he had a marriage certificate, but I didn't know. I really didn't know if he was married or had a wife. He only told me he was separated, and he said that when the incident happened, but before that, he said he was single the whole time. There was no one else."

She added: "When a husband cheats, you have to look at another angle—was the other woman complicit? Did she know? In my case, I had no idea. But posting it like that was inappropriate and excessive. How am I supposed to live my life now?"

Paraguay Senator Continues Criticism of Mbappé's Sportsmanship

Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla escalated her feud with French footballer Kylian Mbappé, accusing him of disrespecting her country's culture after he refused to shake hands with Paraguay's goalkeeper following their World Cup match.

Paraguay Senator Continues Criticism of Mbappé's Sportsmanship
11h ago Khaosod

Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla continues her relentless criticism of French captain Kylian Mbappé, now focusing on his alleged lack of respect for opponents after he refused to shake hands with Bernardo Gill, Paraguay's goalkeeper, following their World Cup match.

On July 4, during the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, France narrowly defeated Paraguay 1-0, with Mbappé scoring the winning penalty kick. After the match, Amarilla posted insulting comments on X, calling Mbappé a marginalized Cameroonian attempting to pose as French and an illiterate savage.

Mbappé responded on X, calling the senator disgusting and unfit for her position. He accused her of being incompetent and damaging her own country's reputation, vowing not to allow her to spread hatred worldwide.

Amarilla then countered by threatening legal action against the Real Madrid star, accusing him of sexual assault.

Most recently, the Paraguayan senator has resumed her attacks on Mbappé, this time criticizing his refusal to shake hands with Bernardo Gill. "Greeting people is part of Paraguayan culture. Saying hello, wishing people well, offering blessings—that is our culture," Amarilla stated. "What made us all angry was seeing young player Orlando Gill humbly extend his hand to Mbappé in the Paraguayan manner, only for him to ignore it and yell at him. The French would never do that. Never. Never."

China is rapidly allocating additional emergency funds to assist disaster-stricken areas following severe storms that destroyed buildings and homes, displaced thousands of people, and triggered landslides. Local media reports that the central government has allocated 50 million yuan (approximately 246 million baht) for repairing roads, schools, and other facilities in central Hubei Province, with an additional 20 million yuan (nearly 98 million baht) designated to help rebuild homes and provide new housing for disaster victims.

On the evening of Monday, July 6, Huanggang City in Hubei Province was struck by an EF2-rated tornado, a moderate to severe storm that triggered severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. The disaster claimed at least 11 lives, injured over 330 people, affected approximately 14,600 residents, destroyed over 20 homes, and damaged another 4,800 structures.

The government also allocated 30 million yuan (approximately 147 million baht) to Gansu Province, where a landslide killed at least 21 forestry workers, supplementing a previously allocated 100 million yuan (nearly 492 million baht).

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Maysak has caused severe flooding in southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, resulting in 6 deaths and the evacuation of approximately 130,000 people. Multiple reservoirs have collapsed or been damaged. Unconfirmed local media reports indicate hundreds of snakes escaped from breeding facilities after being swept away by floodwaters, with one woman in Yunpiao reportedly killed by a snake bite, though regional authorities could not verify the details.

Super Typhoon Bawei, which has weakened to a strong typhoon, is expected to strike southeastern China this weekend. Taiwan reports some farmers are rushing to harvest rice in preparation for the typhoon expected to hit the island Friday evening, July 10. Other Asian regions are also experiencing severe weather, including Bangladesh, where landslides triggered by heavy rainfall in the southeastern region have claimed lives among refugee populations.

Jewelry Worth Millions Vanishes During Hospital Transfer

An 87-year-old woman lost jewelry worth millions of baht, including a rare amulet and gold chain, during ambulance transport to a hospital in Rayong on July 8. Her family is filing a police report to investigate whether the items disappeare

Jewelry Worth Millions Vanishes During Hospital Transfer
12h ago Khaosod

On July 9, 2569, a complaint was filed by Sumet (name withheld), 87, from Ban Khai district, Rayong, reporting that his wife, Niang, lost consciousness at home while eating on July 8. He immediately called the emergency hotline 1669, and family members and rescue workers provided first aid before hospital staff transported her to the emergency room with one sister-in-law accompanying the ambulance.

At the hospital, nurses returned only one ring to Niang. However, upon careful inspection, the family discovered that a one-baht gold chain and a genuine Luang Pu Tim amulet from 2517—worth several million baht that his wife wore constantly—had vanished. When questioned, the nurse who returned the ring stated that only the ring had been handed over. The family also learned the ambulance had no security camera installed.

Sumet expressed sadness, saying the family did not fault the staff's work but wanted the facts investigated. His wife cherished the jewelry deeply and never removed it, even while bathing, or would leave it only with him or in a clearly visible place. His brother, Wichit, a former sub-district headman, stated the family had no financial problems and sought no blame, but the incident deeply troubled them as the amulet held spiritual significance.

The family prepared evidence to file a police report for investigation into which stage the valuables disappeared and to identify which officials were involved in transporting the patient. The sister-in-law who accompanied the ambulance noted that a curtain blocked her view of the rear compartment, preventing her from noticing anything unusual until learning later that the items were missing. The family conducted a three-day search at home without success, believing the items disappeared on the day of the incident. They plan to file a police report to trace the property and examine the patient transfer process to resolve the matter.
