city is exploring options for a potential extension.

.S. men's national team overcame Costa Rica in
a penalty shootout, advancing to the semifinals
of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The game, held at U
.S. Bank Stadium, ended in a 2 -2 draw after
regulation. Goalkeeper Matt Fries emerged as
a star, making three crucial saves in the shootout,
while Damian Downs scored the decisive kick.

with second -half leads, but showed resilience
in this intense matchup. Yesterday morning at

approach 7%, homebuyer demand is shifting with
affordability becoming paramount. Experts note
that even minor fluctuations in rates can make
buyers hesitant, impacting market enthusiasm
and activity, as affordability remains a major
barrier for many aspiring homeowners. In business

you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. For the first time ever, a research
team named Colossal may have spotted a juvenile
colossal squid while exploring the waters around
Antarctica. This remarkable sighting could provide
the first video of this elusive creature, known
scientifically as Messonicotuthis hamiltoni.
The team used a deep -sea camera attached to
a polar tourism vessel to capture this footage.
While the video is currently under peer review,
it is a significant achievement for marine biologists,
revealing nearly 80 species, including giant
volcano sponges and Antarctic sunflower stars.
The colossal squid remains a mystery, but collaboration
with tourism could unlock more secrets of our
oceans. Entertainment News In a thrilling box
office showdown, F1, starring Brad Pitt, roared

internationally. Directed by Joseph Kosinski,
F1 follows a retired Formula One driver returning
to the sport to coach a rookie. Meanwhile, the
horror sequel Megan 2 stumbled, earning only
$10 million. Despite its modest budget, the sequel's
weak performance suggests it may not become a
lasting franchise. Well, alrighty folks, it's
