France coach Didier Deschamps will return home from the World Cup following the death of his mother and will miss his team's final group game against Norway, the French football federation said Tuesday. The FFF said Deschamps learned of his mother's death on Tuesday morning and that he is going back to France to attend her funeral. "At this incredibly painful time, we wish the head coach great strength and assure him of everyone's support," the FFF said, adding that assistant coach Guy Stphan will take temporary charge of the squad including for Friday's game in Massachusetts until Deschamps returns. The federation did not say when Deschamps was expected to return to the United States. The 57-year-old Deschamps had previously announced he is stepping down as France coach after the tournament, 14 years after taking charge. The former France captain led Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and his team lost the final to Argentina in 2022 in a penalty shootout. France won its opening two matches at this World Cup, beating Senegal 3-1 and Iraq 3-0 to advance to the knockout stage. Norway has also won its two matches. Reporting by the Associated Press.

Josh Hokit made plenty of noise as usual after his win over Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House. But rather than his performance gaining attention, it was Hokit's post-fight interview that garnered headlines in the days after the event.Known for his brash character work and controversial interviews, the heavyweight contender initially appeared to speak without a persona following his second-round stoppage of Lewis. That was, until he closed out his in-cage interview with Joe Rogan by calling the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, a man.Speaking Tuesday on "The Ariel Helwani Show" in his first interview since the fight, in a rare appearance as himself rather than a character, Hokit declined to apologize and said he has no regrets about the comments he made on UFC's arguable biggest platform ever."I thought I was giving her a compliment," Hokit told Uncrowned. "Michelle Obama, being a man, that's like, she knows how to deal with adversity. She knows how to work hard like a man; when the times get tough, the tough keep going."I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show the world how great this country is with the freedom of speech. You can go somewhere and you say something like that, and you die. And I'm not suicidal, by the way; I'm in good spirits. I'm a little under the weather right now, but other than that, I'm good. And so in other parts of the world, you say something like that, and you're not here to speak to Ariel Helwani, you know?"Hokit, 28, hasn't been shy to trash-talk anyone and everyone since arriving in the UFC late last year. Considering the large viewership UFC Freedom 250 figures released by Paramount, and the attention the event drew as a White House spectacle, Hokit's latest remark generated his most blowback yet. But that doesn't mean he regrets it."There's a certain side that pokes at another side and there's no outrage there. And so I thought it was a perfect time to take a jab," Hokit said."That's one thing about my career. Im never going to I think I was watching a [Henry] Cejudo video and he was like, Thats one thing I regret, is all the stuff I did [to promote fights]. Or you hear people backtrack even the [Sean] Strickland post-fight speech [after the Khamzat Chimaev fight], where he was like, 'I'm trying to sell the fight, and I don't mean the things I say.' You'll never hear me backtrack from what I say."UFC CEO Dana White was among the many voices to condemn Hokit's comment. White called the remarks nasty and nonsense the morning after UFC Freedom 250, then echoed those thoughts again Saturday after UFC Vegas 119, distancing himself from Hokit's "disgusting" remark but also reiterating that White believes in free speech.Ultimately, Hokit has become a top UFC contender at heavyweight despite the controversy, extending his undefeated promotional record to 4-0 with his latest win. Hokit said 2026 has already been a million-dollar year for him in the UFC and that neither White nor UFC CBO Hunter Campbell reached out to him about his post-fight comments.As for everyone else, he's not concerned.If Hokit had made a remark like that in his past life while on the NFL's San Francisco 49ers practice squad, he knows he wouldn't have expected to keep his spot on the roster."That's why I respect [White] so much," Hokit said. "That's why I wanted to fight in the UFC, because you got bosses like that. If I would have said that in the NFL, I don't have a job anymore. That's why I respect them so much. Yeah, they could always feel some type of way, I respect their opinions, but we do got freedom of speech. So it is what it is. I don't like what other people say, but Ive got to deal with it, Ive got to live with it.""At the end of the day, I don't care [if anyone's upset]. Now, I'm not trying to piss off the Dana Whites and Hunter Campbells. But they would also message me if they really felt like a certain way. They could comment and stuff like that, but if they really felt a type of way, they would message me. All the other people, they weren't there when I was down. They weren't there when I was broken. So, I could care less what anybody thinks. I'm here to make a splash and back up my words. If anybody feels some type of way, they know where to find me."

Long after Mexicos World Cup win against South Korea, fans young and old lined up outside the stadium to take photos with Hctor Chvez and his big black sombrero.Also known as Caramelo, candy in English, Chvez is arguably as well-known in Mexico as the members of the national team.He says the game last Thursday in Guadalajara was his 543rd match watching El Tri, which he has followed around the world since Mexico last hosted the World Cup in 1986.Now at his 11the World Cup, Chvez is flanked by his 21-year-old son, also called Hctor Chvez, and known as Caramelo Jr. Both wear oversized sombreros with their nicknames written in all caps, making them hard to miss at stadiums.Mexico has one of the best fan bases in the world, one that travels the most to matches, and one of the most colorful ones in the world, with tradition, identity and pride, the 64-year-old Chvez told The Associated Press. Im very fortunate to be here, with my son by my side in his fifth World Cup, to keep supporting the national team with everything weve got.Chvez has become a familiar sight in every stadium where the team plays in Mexico and around the world, including friendlies. He said the first national team match he attended was on Feb. 19, 1986, when Mexico faced the Soviet Union in the countrys capital. His first World Cup match was that same year, on June 3 against Belgium.Despite being at another World Cup at home, Chvez said he struggled to make it to the games this time.This has been the most expensive World Cup in history, some of my friends who usually accompany me couldnt come, he said. I had to break the piggy bank, and we are here with the support of our family, because without this support it wouldnt be possible. The truth is that weve worked hard to be here, but finally we made it and we will keep following the national team to the end.Caramelo is popular but also has his criticsDespite his popularity, Chvez is not universally loved in Mexico. Critics say hes getting too much attention and question whether hes promoting himself or the national team. Hes annoyed some fans by throwing his hat onto the field, including at the game between Colombia and Uzbekistan in Mexico City last week.Well, they say that if they are criticizing you, it's because you are doing something good. We try not to pay too much attention to it. We preferer to hold on to the great support that the fans have shown us in person, the younger Hctor Chvez said.Many teams have superfans who attract headlines at World Cups. Spain had Manuel Cceres, known as Manolo el del bombo or Manolo the bass drummer, who followed the Spanish national team since the 1982 World Cup. He died last year. Brazils Clvis Acosta Fernandes, known as the Gacho Da Copa, died in 2015.Congo has Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, who gained fame during the Africa Cup of Nations for posing as a statue of Congos assassinated independence hero Patrice Lumumba. He missed the teams first game at this years World Cup but was expected to make it to Tuesdays match against Colombia.Chvez worried that die-hard fans are being priced out of the World Cup, affecting the atmosphere in stadiums.I miss the hardcore fans who follow their teams, who chant and cheer during the whole 90 minutes. Did you notice that they couldnt even get the wave to work again?" he said after Mexico's match against South Korea on June 18. And why is that? Its because we dont have these fans. And why dont we have these fans? Its because they cant afford these expensive tickets.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/FIFA-World-Cup
