Abema congratulates itself for its record high viewership during the Kyushu Basho--in November 2025.
The station also plugs its exclusivity of 66th Yokozuna Wakanohana (who currently goes by his birth name, Hanada Masaru) as its match commentator and incomparable instructor.

Sumo is trending!

Stoke long throws and set pieces - shite, anti-football.

Arsenal with long throws and set pieces - inventive and ground breaking.

A red card for violent conduct in a FIFA match is a three game ban. Portugal more than likely have one competitive match before the World Cup starts. So in theory, Ronaldo will miss the first two matches of the World Cup.

Any ideas for how FIFA are going to weasel out of this one people?

unreal bending of rules for this guy.
Cristiano Ronaldo has avoided a suspension for the start of next summer’s World Cup after FIFA handed the Portugal captain a three-match ban, with the final two games suspended for “a one-year probation period”.

It's the age-old question... San Diego has had like 80 percent of the possession, but #MNUFC has had four shots on target and has spaces to attack on the counter, while #SDFC has had no shots and no space.

So who is really controlling this game?

The shimpan department decided to promote Aonishiki to Ozeki.

Officially, the board has to decide that in a special meeting on Wednesday, but that's a rubber stamp - they have never voted against a promotion.

It would be brutal to sack Slot. He’s managing a group of grieving men. Any wonder they make mistakes? Getting rid of Arne would maybe bring the players down further too. There’s no magic wand for this.

But it’s also hard to know where Liverpool go from here. Loooong season ahead.

Up the Reds.

🤼Ura went for a number of tricks in this relatively long bout with Tobizaru but Tobi was able to hold him off until Ura got an inside grip for the oshidashi push out. Ura goes kachi-koshi at 8-6; Tobizaru a mirror record make-koshi at 6-8. Pleasantly surprised by Ura's record at Maegashira #3.

Oz Kotozakura 7-5 (L)
Yz Hōshōryū 10-2 (R)
Less than 100 percent Zakura works hard to stay in it. Hoss needs a win to stay in running to get that as yet elusive first yūshō as a Yokozuna. Zakura can get his KK #kyushubasho2025

Ura is doing so well at this level with his economical use of pink magic that he isn’t even doing that little self satisfied look he usually does when he wins #kyushubasho2025
