Well, by now there must be some Germans still looking for Jhon Arias at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey.

The Colombian star put Dortmund's defenders in his pocket, tormenting the defense of the powerful German team, in the draw – which felt like a win – for Flu against BVB in the opener.
Now it's time to see the Colombian in action against a theoretically weaker opponent. Will the star put on another show?
Unmissable video 🎥
The energy of the fans at the Club World Cup is unmissable! Even more so with supporters like those of Mamelodi Sundowns, current leaders of group F!
It's also worth highlighting the Botafogo fans, celebrating the victory over the Champions League winners, PSG.
Interesting facts 📊
Did you know that Ulsan has already faced Fluminense in a friendly? It was in 1994, when the Tricolor was preparing for the Carioca tournament. The two teams faced off at Laranjeiras, and Fluminense won 1-0, with a goal from Rogerinho. Thirty-one years later, the two teams meet again – now in an official match.
Borussia Dortmund should keep a close eye on Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners, who has scored seven goals in his last nine matches, in addition to scoring in the opener and having two other goals disallowed.
Inter and Urawa Red Diamonds have faced each other only once before – at the Saitama City Cup in 2004, where the Nerazzurri sent a reserve team coached by Fernando Orsi to participate, while the rest of the squad was in pre-season in Italy. They lost 1-0.
River Plate heads into their match against Monterrey having scored an impressive 28 goals in their last 10 games.
Our predictions 🔮
Mamelodi Sundowns 0-2 Borussia Dortmund
Inter 1-0 Urawa Red Diamonds
Fluminense 4-0 Ulsan
River Plate 1-1 Monterrey

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle, foreground, reacts after a home run by Boston Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela, bottom, during the sixth inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Friday, June 20, 2025. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle has been accused of abuse by his wife, and MLB is now investigating the allegations, according to a statement the Giants put out Saturday. According to The Mercury News, Hjelle said Saturday that he doesn't have an official comment at the moment but that he'll eventually make a statement after speaking with his agent and lawyer. Advertisement Hjelle's wife, Caroline Hjelle, posted a TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children. The video's caption read, "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mother's Day a week after this [video was taken] once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone." The Giants said in their statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and have been in contact with MLB, which is looking into the situation. 'Obviously we're aware of it,' Giants manager Bob Melvin said before the Giants' 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox Saturday, via The Associated Press. 'He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it's in their jurisdiction right now so I really can't comment on it further." Advertisement Melvin also said before the game Saturday that Hjelle would be available to pitch. He didn't make an appearance, however. Hjelle, a 28-year-old righty, made his debut with the Giants in 2022. The organization drafted him in the second round in 2018. This season, Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six outings, the most recent of which took place Friday night in a 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. Hjelle was responsible for the defeat after allowing a tie-breaking home run to center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning.
