Is the World's Best Squash Player Testing the Rules, or Is He Cheating?
Not long ago, an anonymous YouTuber known only as Quash Bad Squash reposted one of the strangest moments in the history of the sport. It's match ball in the finals of last year's British Open tournament, with a check for $26,600 on the line. The four-time world champion Ali Farag, an Egyptian with the physique of a pipe cleaner and the speed of Mercury, is about to lunge forward and hit a backhand. But as he tries to get past his opponent, a rising superstar and fellow countryman named Mostafa Asal, Mr. Farag does something baffling. He stops playing. Instead, he wheels around to look at Mr. Asal, as if he's momentarily stunned. 'Oh, my goodness gracious me!' shouts one of the commentators broadcasting live on the website SquashTV. 'What has he done?' shouts another. The referee isn't sure. So a second referee, whose job is to handle tough calls, looks at instant replay video footage to determine if Mr. Asal blocked his opponent — a no-no that would cost him the point. The second referee watches the sequence a few times and sees nothing wrong. Point and match to Mr. Asal. He buries his face in his hands, overwhelmed with joy. For everyone else, a mystery remained: Why did Mr. Farag stop playing? Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Lionel Messi to Break 1100 Game Streak as Club World Cup Finally Ignites
Lionel Messi to Break 1100 Game Streak as Club World Cup Finally Ignites originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 Club World Cup is starting to become a must-watch spectacle, with groundbreaking moments that promise to reshape soccer's legacy. From unexpected heroes to unprecedented milestones, this tournament is now teasing fans with a series of thrilling firsts that are finally captivating global audiences, especially as a GOAT gets a first. Schoolteacher's Stunning Goal Auckland City FC's Cameron Howieson, a schoolteacher by day, scored a historic equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal, marking the first time a semi-professional club held a Saudi Pro League giant in the tournament ( His goal, a precise 20-yard strike, stunned fans and highlighted the competition's inclusivity. Auckland's grit proves smaller clubs can compete on the world stage. All-African Lineup Triumphs Al Ahly made history as the first Club World Cup team to field an all-African starting XI, leading to a 3-1 upset over River Plate ( This bold move, featuring stars like Percy Tau, showcased African talent and tactical unity. Their victory signals the growing influence of African clubs globally. Youngest-Ever Goal scorer Bayern Munich's 17-year-old Jonah Kusi-Asare became the youngest-ever Club World Cup goal scorer with a curling strike against Urawa Red Diamonds ( His record-breaking goal, at 17 years and 45 days, marks a new era for youth in elite competitions. Kusi-Asare's emergence underscores the tournament's platform for rising stars. Kane & Very Able - Jonah Kusi-Asare (#41) became the youngest-ever Club World Cup by PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty Images Body-Cams For Refs and New Goalkeeper Rule Referees are wearing body cameras, a first in major club competitions, broadcasting live footage to enhance transparency and fan engagement, with monitor reviews displayed in stadiums. Alongside this, the 8-second goalkeeper rule, penalizing delays with a corner kick for the opposition, debuted to curb time-wasting. These innovations, paired with semi-automated offside technology, mark a bold step toward modernizing soccer's officiating and pace. GOAT gets a first - Lionel Messi For the first time in 1100+ professional games, Lionel Messi confronts a former club on Sunday. Inter Miami will take on PSG, where he won Ligue 1 twice from 2021-2023. Leading Inter Miami with ex-Barcelona stars Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, he faces PSG's Luis Enrique, his former coach, in a tactical showdown. This clash, set for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, blends personal history with high stakes and a bucket-load of cash. A New Era for Soccer Inclusivity These firsts: Messi's PSG reunion, Howieson's teacher-turned-hero moment, Al Ahly's all-African triumph, and Kusi-Asare's record, all highlight the Club World Cup's role in uniting diverse soccer cultures. By spotlighting semi-professionals, underrepresented regions, young talents and old GOATs, the tournament fosters inclusivity. It's a bold step toward a more global, accessible soccer future in a divided world.
