‘Never seen that': America reacts to unusual changeroom scene at Club World Cup
If you can't handle the heat, head to the sheds. Borussia Dortmund defeated South African team Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3 in their FIFA Club World Cup match on Sunday (AEST) to move into second spot in Group F. Watch every game of The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The expanded Club World Cup is being held in America and the summer heat at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium proved too hot to handle for some of the players. Substitute players from German side Dortmund retreated to their changerooms during the change to escape the heat, watching the game on a TV screen. Temperatures reached 30.5 degrees celsius (87 degrees fahrenheit) in Cincinnati during the game, but the sight of Dortmund's bench players seeking refuge from the heat took some fans by surprise. American sports commentator Joe Pompliano said: 'I've never seen that before.' Borussia Dortmund's bench is watching their Club World Cup match from the locker room because of the heat. It is currently 87 degrees (30.5 degrees Celsius) in Cincinnati, Ohio where the match is being played. (via @BVB) — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) June 21, 2025 One person commented: 'This is normal weather. Euro countries can't handle this is too funny.' A second said: 'Humidity over 50 per cent as well. Feels like 96 degrees according weather app.' A third said: 'Lol, just came back from my men's league game, it's 100 (degrees) right now.' Another said: '30.5 degrees and they are acting this way. They shouldn't come to Africa.' Players were doing their best to stay hydrated during the game and applied ice packs to their necks in an effort to stay cool. Next year's FIFA World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico in July to July. For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the stadiums used an airconditioning system to maintain comfortable temperatures for players and fans despite the desert heat. As for the game itself, Dortmund held off Mamelodi Sundowns to win a seven-goal thriller. Jobe Bellingham got his first goal for Dortmund as his new club overcame stifling heat in Cincinnati to beat Sundowns 4-3 and move to four points from two matches in Group F. The South African champions had taken a surprise early lead through a fine solo goal from Lucas Ribeiro. However, Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams handed Dortmund their equaliser on a plate, passing the ball straight to Felix Nmecha, who stroked home. Serhou Guirassy gave Dortmund the lead with his 35th goal since the beginning of the season. English midfielder Bellingham, who this month followed older brother Jude's footsteps in joining the German side from Sunderland, started for the first time for Dortmund and made it 3-1 just before the break. Khuliso Mudau's own goal made it 4-1 before the hour mark, but Sundowns salvaged some pride by reducing the deficit through Iqraam Rayners and Lebo Mothiba. 'I'm sweating like I've just come out of a sauna,' said Dortmund coach Niko Kovac when asked about the conditions in a game which started at midday local time. 'It was tough going for both teams, but the opposition are used to it. We certainly didn't give our best performance, but that wasn't possible today.' Sundowns will still go into their final game in Group F with a chance of qualifying for the last 16. 'The boys made a wonderful performance … it was a hell of a match. I'm not happy but very proud,' said their Portuguese coach, Miguel Cardoso. Mbappe release from hospital Meanwhile, Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was released from hospital after undergoing tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released. Mbappe did not travel to Charlotte for the team's Club World Cup match against Pachuca, but could be back for the final group stage game, coach Xabi Alonso said. 'He's doing better, he's back from the hospital and is recovering. We're optimistic about having him against Salzburg,' Alonso said. Madrid face Salzburg in the final game of Group H on Thursday in Philadelphia. Mbappe, 26, missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's debut as coach. Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe's stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents.

Nine hospitalised, 200 evacuated after chemical incident at public pool in Melbourne
Nine people were taken to hospital and 200 evacuated following a chemical incident at a public pool in Melbourne's north. Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) were called to the Broadmeadows Leisure Centre about 6.15pm on Friday night after people reported the smell of gas inside the centre. Firefighters found multiple people affected by the chemicals upon arrival. A FRV spokesperson confirmed to NewsWire that nine people were taken to hospital for treatment following the incident. About 200 people were evacuated from the leisure centre while FRV hazmat specialists ventilated the premises. A positive reading for sodium hydrogen sulphate was found by the hazmat specialists. The centre was confirmed to be safe to re-enter two hours later by FRV. A Hume City Council spokeswoman said the incident was sparked by the occurrence of a chemical reaction during routine pool maintenance on Friday evening. The spokeswoman said the nine people taken to hospital had been in contact with the council, and 'we understand they are all doing well'. 'Following a thorough assessment by WorkSafe immediately after the incident, it was confirmed the facility was safe to reopen Saturday morning,' the spokeswoman said. An internal review has been launched to confirm the incident's cause, and to ensure it doesn't happen again. 'We thank our staff and emergency services for their swift and professional response and thank the community for their understanding and support,' the spokeswoman said. Sodium hydrogen sulphate, also known as sodium bisulphate, can be used to adjust pH levels in water.

Hailey Bieber ditches her wedding ring as Justin Bieber divorce rumours loom
Hailey Bieber fuelled rumours that she and husband Justin Bieber are headed for divorce after she was spotted without her wedding ring while out and about in New York City. The model was photographed going ring-less on Thursday as she stepped out on two separate occasions — the first being for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village. Photos obtained by Page Six reveal she wore a khaki trench coat and sunglasses for the outing, but made sure to leave her $US500,000 jewellery piece at home. Hailey, 28, was later seen that evening with models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse as they headed for a girls' night out at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side. For her second look, the billionaire babe looked chic in a black leather coat and matching high-neck top with wide-leg jeans. A rep for Hailey did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Divorce rumours have followed the couple for some time. However, the speculation appeared to be reignited earlier this year after Hailey unfollowed Justin, 31, on Instagram in March. The Rhode Skin founder claimed the unfollowing happened because of a glitch that took place when Justin deactivated and reactivated his account. Hailey addressed the incessant divorce speculation that has plagued the famous pair since their 2018 wedding in her Vogue interview last month, calling out 'bitches' who won't 'move on.' 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she said. 'You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no,' the first-time mom, who welcomed son Jack Blues with Justin last August, added. 'So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' The couple also continues to face added scrutiny as many have expressed their concern for the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer's wellbeing after he was seen acting erratically and recreationally smoking marijuana on several occasions. In April, a source confirmed to Page Six that Justin is 'going through a hard time' and that Hailey was worried for him. 'Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do,' the source said at the time. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.'
