Ochoa Retires, Joins Messi/Ronaldo Club
Mexico icon Guillermo Ochoa officially announced his retirement from active competition on Tuesday, bringing to a close a career that spanned 22 years and six World Cup tournaments. The 41-year-old shot-stopper, widely considered among the greatest Mexican goalkeepers in history, shared his heartfelt decision on social media, stating: "I gave it my all; I left everything on the field for my clubs and the national team, and today I hang up my gloves."
Ochoa's longevity is perhaps his most staggering achievement, as he featured for Mexico in six World Cups - a number shared only by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He served as Mexico's starting goalkeeper in three consecutive tournaments: Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, and Qatar 2022. In his final match against Czechia at the Estadio Azteca, where his career began, Ochoa received a proper send-off, playing the final 13 minutes before an emotional farewell at the venue where his journey started.
Seahawks place Zach Charbonnet on PUP list
Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the divisional round of the playoffs and the team confirmed that he's not ready to resume practicing on Wednesday. hiddenlangkawi.club
Charbonnet has been placed on the physically unable to perform list ahead of the start of training camp. Charbonnet can be activated from the list at any point in camp, but the timing of the injury means that it will likely be some time before the team will be moving him to the active roster.
The Seahawks previously placed safety Nick Emmanwori, running back Kenny McIntosh, cornerback Tyrone Broden, and defensive tackle Deven Eastern on the PUP list.
Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. First-round pick Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones, and Jacardia Wright are the healthy options at running back in Seattle.
Glasgow Commonwealth Games organisers hope for late surge in ticket sales
Opening ceremony and several events yet to sell out
Programme reduced from last time city hosted in 2014
Commonwealth Games organisers will hope for a late surge in ticket sales as Glasgow prepares to stage the opening ceremony on Thursday night, with seats still available across a number of events at the four competition venues despite the Games’ significantly reduced scale.
The opening ceremony at the OVO Hydro still had adult tickets available on Wednesday, with prices ranging from £45 to £95. The 13,000-capacity arena will host live music, the parade of nations and the arrival of all 74 Commonwealth batons. The six-time Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy, who revealed in 2024 that he has stage-four cancer, will also take part.

Seixas, placed fourth overall and a home favorite, was tested on Monday evening as part of the biological passport testing program. However, unlike race leader Tadej Pogacar and withdrawn rider Jonas Vingegaard, the teenager has not yet undergone nocturnal testing.
Authorities have denied that the French doping agency plays any role in determining which riders are tested, responding to claims from rivals who have raised concerns about potential favoritism towards the young French cyclist.
