Football: Daichi Kamada, Takefusa Kubo spur Japan to big win over Indonesia
SUITA (Osaka) -- Daichi Kamada netted a brace, and match-day captain Takefusa Kubo was also among the scorers Tuesday as Japan concluded their Asian World Cup qualifiers with a 6-0 thrashing of Indonesia. The Samurai Blue, who booked their ticket to the 2026 World Cup with three matches to spare, finished on top of qualifying Group C with seven wins, two draws and one defeat. Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu continued to experiment with his lineup after starting an untested side in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Australia, handing the captain's armband to the 24-year-old Kubo. Crystal Palace midfielder Kamada opened the scoring at a rainy Panasonic Stadium in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, when he headed in Shunsuke Mito's cross from the left in the 15th minute. Kubo doubled the margin with a stylish finish four minutes later, intercepting a deflected ball and chipping high into the net from close range. The Real Sociedad star set up Kamada to tap home his second in injury time, giving the Samurai Blue a 3-0 halftime lead. After starting on the right, winger Ryoya Morishita of Polish outfit Legia Warszawa found the net early in the second half for his first international goal, which was quickly followed by a Shuto Machino strike that made it 5-0. Mao Hosoya completed the scoring off the bench in the 80th minute. "The players' efforts led to this result," said Moriyasu, who has set the ambitious target of winning the World Cup, to be hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States next summer. "There is still a lot we need to learn and improve, both the players and the team as a whole." Indonesia, coached by former Netherlands international Patrick Kluivert, finished fourth in the group with three wins, three draws and four losses.

Kubo, one to watch in the transfer market for Sky Germany
Kubo, one to watch in the transfer market for Sky Germany According to journalist Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany, Takefusa Kubo, the Japanese winger from Real Sociedad, is one of the players to watch in the upcoming transfer window. At 24 years old, Kubo has stood out in LaLiga with 7 goals and 4 assists this season. His contract with Real Sociedad runs until 2029, but his release clause is set between 30 and 40 million euros, which has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs. Although his release clause is high, the interest from English teams could facilitate his departure. Advertisement His playing style, characterized by his agility and ability to break through on the right wing, has caught the attention of teams looking to strengthen their attack. With the possibility of making the leap to the Premier League, Kubo faces a crucial decision that could mark the next chapter of his promising career.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (June 6-8)
If you're trying to find something to watch, but you're sick of just picking through the most obvious titles in Netflix's algorithm, it can sometimes feel a little hopeless. Underrated gems don't necessarily get surfaced by the algorithm, and even if they do, you might not be familiar with them enough to click. That's where we come in. We've pulled together this list of three underrated titles that are all available on Netflix. Check them out and give them a shot. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) An important reminder that animation is not just for kids and that Disney is not the only company capable of producing it, Kubo and the Two Strings follows a young boy with a magical instrument who teams up with two other creatures to battle mystical creatures and solve the mystery of his own family. Featuring stunning stop-motion animation and the kind of attention to detail that only Laika Studios is capable of, Kubo is a visual marvel. Just as crucially, the story at the movie's center is one of a young boy trying to understand his origins and what that means for who he should become. You can watch Kubo and the Two Strings on Netflix. The Harder They Fall (2021) A brilliant revisionist Western that imagines a version of the Old West populated by Black outlaws, The Harder They Fall follows an outlaw who discovers that his sworn enemy is being released from prison and decides to get his gang back together to seek revenge. Featuring a cast that includes Regina King, Lakeith Stanfield, Idris Elba, and more incredible Black performers, The Harder They Fall isn't just an excuse to see all of them bounce off of one another. It's also one of the most stylish Westerns you're likely to encounter and one of the century's best. You can watch The Harder They Fall on Netflix. The Piano Lesson (2024) Adapted from an August Wilson play of the same name, The Piano Lesson follows a family as they gather in Pittsburgh to debate their family history and a beautiful piano that is tied up in it. Featuring brilliant performances from John David Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, and Danielle Deadwyler, The Piano Lesson is set largely in a single room. However, you're never bothered by that relatively tight setting. Instead, director Malcolm Washington knows exactly how to expand the canvas of his story so that The Piano Lesson feels epic not because of its budget or its elaborate sets, but because of the roiling drama at its center. You can watch The Piano Lesson on Netflix.
