Two quarter-finals on today's agenda
Real Madrid are leading Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the last Club World Cup quarter-final at MetLife Stadium.
Gonzalo Garcia scored in the 10th minute for his fourth goal of the tournament, justifying his selection over Kylian Mbappe. And the other Garcia, Fran, added the second goal soon after, finishing nicely from Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross.

This is the place to be for the rest of the Club World Cup as each of the last four matches of the tournament will be played here. Both semifinals and the final will be played in the same stadium that will host the 2026 World Cup final. Javing been to MetLife Stadium multiple times to cover the Copa America last summer, I can understand why the venue has been chosen for back-to-back FIFA tournament finals.
It's gigantic. It's the type of stadium that makes one feel tiny in comparison with the colossal concrete structure. Argentina's Copa América semifinal against Canada was a prime example of what MetLife Stadium can sound like for a big international football match. The Argentines took over the ground, chanting and singing throughout the game. The Athletic

Video: Mom Shows ‘Stages Of Going Out Kid-free' Is An ‘Emotional Rollercoaster'
Taking care of kids is not an easy task, especially if you are a new mommy. To prove the point, a mom shows the 'five stages of going out kid-free' in an Instagram video, which shifts between guilt, happiness, and missing her child. Although she delivers a significant message through her reel, the mother creates her outing clip in a fun way. The caption reads, 'It's truly an emotional rollercoaster isn't it.' On Instagram, a mom outing kid-free video has recently gained attention. In it, Hannah, a mother of a newborn, shares the 'five stages of going out kid-free' in a hilarious manner. Celine Dion's 1996 song, 'All by Myself,' adds dramatic effect to the clip as Hannah lip-syncs the track throughout the reel. The video begins with Hannah all glammed up for a party, happily singing the song. It depicts the first stage — 'Freedom.' But, as soon as she gets behind the wheel, the 'mom guilt' hits her, highlighting the second stage in the outing kid-free video. She looks doubtful and concerned, questioning if she should leave her child and husband alone. Her anxious self further thinks, 'Will they be okay?' Or 'Am I the literal worst?' In the next scene of the outing kid-free video, the mom's mood changes when she joins the party, indicating the third stage — 'Enjoying Yourself.' With a smiling face, she enjoys a drink and 'hot' food while having 'uninterrupted convo' and 'gets to sit down.' Feeling relaxed, she drives home thinking, 'Why don't I do this more often?' which is the fourth stage. Finally, stage five says, 'I miss my babies so much.' Hannah rushes inside her home and jumps into a swimming pool to hug her child and husband. Viewers enjoyed the mom outing kid-free video and also found it 'funny.' One user wrote, 'Gets to sit down sounds so incredibly nice,' while another commented, 'So accurate.' An individual also added one more stage, saying, 'STAGE: 6 : Im never leaving you again.' While the Instagram reel received a positive response, it has garnered over 114K likes at the time of writing.
