Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport.

Vietnam fail to solve Singapore’s defense in goalless AFF Cup clash

Vietnam had a difficult game at Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as they struggled to find a way through the disciplined and multi-layered defense of the hosts. The 2008 and 2018 winners, who started with a line-up including many reserved players, barely created a relevant chance in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam put several key players in and created more profound attacks. However, Singapore’s defense remained solid. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh, forward Nguyen Van Quyet and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had many good chances to score, but all of them ended up in vain as their precision was lacked. Vietnam were the closest to goal when Nguyen Hoang Duc’s shot hit the post in the 84th minute. The 0-0 draw against Singapore still retains Vietnam’s top spot in Group B and leaves the door to the semifinals wide open for the two-time winners. The Vietnamese will only be eliminated if they lost to Myanmar from eight goals and Malaysia defeat Singapore in the la...
