My, my how the tables have turned.When FIFA announced that they’d suspended the red card punishment of US Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun, it set off a firestorm of criticism. European soccer fans, the Belgian national soccer federation, the Union of European Football Associations, and many other commentators were outraged that Balogun’s unjust red card had essentially been delayed.Their complaints have been mostly incoherent and illogical, with UEFA’s statement in particular being laughably inaccurate.EUROPE IS FURIOUS OVER BALOGUN REPRIEVE BUT FIFA SUSPENDED RED CARD BANS FOR RONALDO AND OTHERS BEFORE THIS”Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition,” they said. “Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted. It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension.” Notably, UEFA had no complaints when Cristian Ronaldo’s three-match red card suspension was…

Echo Core is a new suppressor company, and they came out swinging. These are Silencer Shop exclusives with five models launching, including two 5.56 cans, two .30 cal options, and a modular multi-cal suppressor. What makes them different is what’s happening inside. The Sector 5.56 and Sector 5.56 Compact are fully 3D-printed Inconel suppressors using a helical flow-through baffle system. Instead of straight-through gas and that familiar hiss, gas moves through corkscrew-style channels designed to reduce back pressure while keeping a deep, clean tone. And the results speak loud and clear. At the 2025 Silencer Summit, the Sector 5.56 full size placed first overall, and the Compact placed second overall in Shooter’s Ear LEQ dBA testing. That means the compact can outperformed dozens of full-size suppressors in one of the most respected tests in the industry. In this video, Dave shoots the Sector 5.56 Compact on an 11.5″ rifle with no ear pro and immediately notices the difference. No gas to the face, no ringing ears, and a tone that doesn’t sound like a typical flow-through can. We also get behind the gun to hear what it sounds like from the ejection port side. Other highlights: Low back pressure with…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A New York resident is suing after officers went to his home to serve him with a warning after he sent an email criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership over the agency’s tactics in immigration raids.David Streever, a U.S. citizen in Rochester, filed the lawsuit on Monday in Washington, D.C., against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, arguing that officials violated his First Amendment right to speak out against the government, according to the complaint reviewed by Fox News Digital.Streever was on a trip to Finland with his 7-year-old daughter last month when two officers showed up to his home and handed his wife a warning notice informing him that an email he sent months earlier was considered a threat.He had sent an email in January to Todd Lyons, who was the acting director of ICE at the time, after an ICE agent shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good during an immigration raid in Minneapolis.ANOTHER NEW YORKER SAYS OFFICERS CONFRONTED HIM AFTER HE CRITICIZED ICE In the email, Streever told Lyons he was “a monstrous human being” who “will never know peace” and will “go down in history as…

Photos by Rob Curtis Sub-caliber training rifles are nothing new to the long range and precision crowd. Most serious competitors have used .223-caliber training rifles for years. But now, with highly accurate .22LR rifles such as the CZ455 and builds based on the Vudoo Gunworks Remington Model 700 pattern rimfire action, shooters can mimic a competition or duty rifle in a caliber that’s much more palatable to the wallet. The trick is turning .22LR’s ballistic drawbacks into training advantages. Chief among this list is range considerations. Instead of looking at .22LR’s short range as a handicap, with the right drills, it’s amazing how well the round can simulate a centerfire experience. It’s also a good way to get some long-range training in on a non-centerfire rated range. SET A BASELINE First things first, you have to set a performance baseline — otherwise you’ll never know what’s attainable with your platform once your training progresses. Start with ammunition selection. .22s can be very ammunition sensitive, so trying out a few loads until you find one that your gun likes is important. Once that’s out of the way, it’s time to focus on basic rifle marksmanship fundamentals. While it’s in vogue to…

In this episode of the RECOIL Podcast, host Tom Marshall sits down with Freddy Osuna, founder and lead instructor of Green Side Training, for one of the most wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversations we’ve ever recorded. Freddy’s story starts long before the military. Raised on the Pascua Yaqui Reservation in southern Arizona, his earliest lessons in tracking came from his grandmother and tribal elders, learning to read sign, behavior, and patterns in the desert as a way of life. Those early foundations followed him into the United States Marine Corps, where he served as an infantryman, sniper, and combat veteran during the early years of the Global War on Terror. From jungle warfare in Southeast Asia to urban combat in Iraq, Freddy explains how primitive fieldcraft, observation, and human behavior analysis became survival skills long before technology caught up. He breaks down how those same skills later shaped the Marine Corps’ Combat Hunter Program, a groundbreaking effort to teach Marines how to think like predators, read nonverbal cues, track human movement, and conduct pursuit operations after contact. This conversation goes far beyond military applications. Freddy explains how tracking is not just about footprints in the dirt, but about pattern recognition, emotional regulation,…

A freak mishap Sunday night abruptly ended England midfielder Jordan Henderson’s 2026 World Cup.Henderson, 36, spent the match on the bench in England’s 3-2 win, but quickly drew attention after falling over an advertising board, leaving him writhing in pain during a moment of victory for England. On Monday, Henderson opted to undergo surgery, bringing an unusual ending to the World Cup campaign of one of England’s veteran leaders.ENGLAND PLAYER INJURES WRIST HOPPING OVER AD BOARD DURING TEAM’S WORLD CUP VICTORY CELEBRATION VS MEXICOAs the stadium speakers blasted Oasis, Henderson tried to climb over a pitch-side advertising board to celebrate with the traveling supporters.

With the focus on short-barreled-everything, we figured it only appropriate to spend a little time talking about the legal process to obtain your very own not-so-long gun. One way is to wait for a regular tax stamp, another is to complete an ATF Form 1 eFile. Despite the undisputed sex appeal of SBRs, the extraneous red tape required to get one is more than a little intimidating at times. In a rare stroke of common sense, the ATF has established an electronic system for filing some of their NFA-related forms, including the Form 1 “Application to Make and Register a Firearm.” This is the form to use when you are making an SBR yourself. If you’re purchasing a factory-configured SBR, you’ll need to file a Form 4, which is a separate process. It should be noted that “making” a firearm doesn’t require a professional assembly line or QC shop. Slapping a store-bought 10.5-inch AR upper on a lower you already own counts as “making” a firearm. In this case, you’d simply file a Form 1 to get the lower approved to take shorty uppers. The screenshots you see here were for the registration of a spare Palmetto State Armory lower.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Team USA’s run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has come to an end. Belgium, in front of a sold-out, U.S.-heavy crowd in Seattle, defeated the USMNT, 4-1, in a match where they took full advantage of their opponent’s mistakes. Charles De Ketelaere was the man who not only scored just nine minutes into the match for Belgium, but his goal in the 39th minute made Team USA manager Mauricio Pochettino kick water bottles on the sideline.  The reason? Malik Tillman, who scored a free kick against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 victory in the Bay Area, took another just in front of Belgium’s box, and it deflected off a Belgian defender and threw off legendary keeper Thibaut Courtois to even the game at one apiece.The momentum was back for the USMNT in that moment in the 37th minute. But once again, shotty defense for the U.S. resulted in an easy goal for De Ketelaere right in front of Matt Freese’s net. USA COACH MAURICIO POCHETTINO KICKS POWERADE BOTTLES IN FRUSTRATION AS TEAM’S FIRST HALF DEFENSE LOOKS SHAKYFreese, though, had a massive error of his own in the second half that crushed…
