Match on Sunday
(Gold Coast Stadium)
5 p.m. – Iran vs Philippines

SOUTH KOREA sent the Philippines reeling to back-to-back losses in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup on Thursday in Australia, seizing a 3-0 verdict that put the Filipinas in a tight fix in the quarterfinal chase.

The three-goal setback at the Gold Coast Stadium, which came after a narrow 0-1 defeat to host Australia on opening day, left the Pinay booters in a must-win situation in the final day of Group A action on Sunday against Iran.

With the Koreans (six points on 2-0) and the Matildas (three points on 1-0 at presstime) expected to finish Top 2 and secure the two outright tickets to the quarterfinals, the Pinay booters and the Iranians (0-1 at presstime) are left to dispute the No. 3 and earn a crack at a last-8 berth.

A victory against Iran will get the Filipinas in the running for the KO seats to be awarded to the first and second-ranked teams among the three group third placers.

“We’ll pick it up and put it together again. We’re in a tough group and we always know it’s going to be tough. But I believe in this group, I believe that we can get a result that could push us forward to the next stage,” said Philippine defender Angie Beard.

“We’ll reflect, look back on all those mistakes, look at the positives, and hopefully we can create more goal chances because that’s going to be important for goal difference coming up (in tiebreak). Regardless of who we’re playing next, we have to look at ourselves and make sure we’re doing all the right things that we need to.”

Like they did in a previous 3-0 disposal of Iran, the Taegeuk Ladies dominated ball possession against the Philippines at 77.4%, which allowed them to manufacture 15 shots.

They converted all three of their on-target attempts with young gun Jeon Yu-gyeong opening the account at the 12th, Park Soo-Jeong doubling it three minutes later, and Mun Eun-Ju capping scoring at the 56th. — Olmin Leyba

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
