The World Cup is dealing with a scandal off the field, as reports of a sex-related controversy have begun making headlines and creating plenty of buzz around the tournament.
Meanwhile, Scottish soccer fans have scored a different kind of victory in the United States. In an effort tied to the World Cup, supporters pushed to have haggis recognized in Massachusetts, and state officials have symbolically embraced the traditional Scottish dish. For those unfamiliar, haggis is a savory pudding made from minced meat, oats, spices, and organ meats, including sheep lung. That's also the reason traditional haggis has effectively been banned in the United States since the 1970s under federal food regulations.
In Maryland, a judge has weighed in on a rather unusual controversy involving two large public art sculptures—one shaped like an eggplant and the other resembling a peach. Critics argued the displays carried obvious sexual undertones, but the judge ruled there was nothing inappropriate about the artwork.
Down in Florida, a casual game of pickleball reportedly escalated into a violent confrontation. Authorities say a woman repeatedly struck another player in the head with her paddle during an altercation. Michele Bannister is now facing felony battery charges in connection with the incident.
Also in Florida, police stopped an elderly driver who was allegedly participating in a street race. According to authorities, the man was clocked traveling at approximately 110 miles per hour alongside another vehicle, proving that some people never quite outgrow their need for speed.
The entertainment world is mourning the loss of legendary television producer and director James Burrows, who passed away Friday at the age of 85. Burrows played a major role in shaping some of television's most successful and beloved sitcoms, leaving behind an incredible legacy in the industry.
And finally, excitement continues to build for Team USA as they prepare for their highly anticipated World Cup matchup against Australia on Friday. Fans are hoping the Americans can keep the momentum going as tournament play heats up.
