Canada will host Iran in a men's soccer friendly on June 5 in Vancouver.

The Canadians topped the final round of CONCACAF qualifying with an 8-2-4 record. Their last game was a 1-0 loss in Panama on March 30.

Canada has a 1-2-0 all-time record against Iran, winning the most recent encounter 1-0 in April 2001 in Cairo. Iran posted 1-0 wins in 1997 and 1999 games in Toronto and Edmonton, respectively.

1 of few World Cup warmups

The Iran fixture is one of the few World Cup warmups for John Herdman's team in advance of Qatar. Herdman has said he will look to take the team to Europe in the fall to play several more matches to prepare for Qatar.

The Canadian men have played just two non-CONCACAF teams since Herdman took over in January 2018 — a 1-0 loss to Iceland in January 2020 and a 1-0 win over New Zealand in March 2018 in Herdman's first game at the helm.

Herdman's record with the Canadian men is 29-8-4 with the only losses to the U.S. (twice), Mexico (twice), Haiti, Iceland, Costa Rica and Panama.

Canada opens World Cup play Nov. 23 against No. 2 Belgium before facing No. 16 Croatia on Nov. 27 and No. 24 Morocco on Dec. 1.

'My favorite look [from the shoot] was the pink African print. Honestly, whatever I wear on the wedding day will probably be African print. It might have a little white, so it looks like a wedding dress, but it's definitely going to be colorful.'

Gabourey Sidibe talked about her plans to walk down the aisle with fiancé Brandon Frankel in a rare interview, which detailed her desire for an unorthodox ceremony with no bridesmaids and a wedding gown that is not white. 

As 39-year-old Academy Award nominee gave Brides readers a heads up on what to expect when she ultimately ties the knot in spring 2023, the bride-to-be gushed that she wants her big day to be 'fun' and a 'true party.'

'It cannot be a traditional wedding. Really, it can't be. I don't want anything done the traditional way,' she stressed to the magazine while appearing on their latest cover. 'I'm super against tradition. I definitely don't need a white dress.'

On Instagram, 6ix9ine appeared tickled by a recent acting performance of Gunna coincidentally while he was in jail in the movie.

One scene, in particular, was shared by 6ix9ine with three laughing emojis. The scene is where Gunna appears to bargain for food in exchange for information he can supply.

“Get me McDonald’s, and when you come back, I might remember something,” his character tells an investigator while in a prison cell wearing an orange jumpsuit.

“Can you do that?” he asks. “Oh yeah, Big Mac, fries? Coke?” the man in a suit responds. “Yeah,” the rapper confirms before hearing, “Done!”

Tekashi 6ix9ine also trolls Young Thug by posting a series of photos of Thugger wearing dresses. “Now bro can be himself put the koolaid on them lips and run the yard,”

ATLANTA - 

Atlanta rapper Young Thug co-founded a violent street gang that committed multiple murders, shootings and carjackings over roughly a decade and promoted its activities in songs and on social media, prosecutors allege in a sprawling indictment that charges him, rapper Gunna and 26 others with racketeering.

The 88-page indictment filed Monday in Georgia's Fulton County quotes multiple music videos as evidence and accuses alleged gang members of targeting other high-profile rap artists.

“It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is, if you come to Fulton County, Georgia, and you commit crimes, ... you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney's office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Tuesday at a news conference announcing the charges.

Vivica A. Fox Sounds Off After Controversial YouTube Star Kevin Samuels' Sudden Death: 'When Karma Comes Knocking' According to Radar online

Vivica A. Fox reacted to news of Kevin Samuels' sudden death, reflecting on his controversial comments and how "karma" may have played a role.

"This man was a hypocrite, in my honest opinion," she said of the famed YouTube star and image consultant on a recent episode of Cocktails With Queens.

Fox shared her piece while discussing actor Marlon Wayans' social media post defending Samuels for speaking his "truth" to callers on his show.

"I didn't find anything about him to be healing. He insulted African-American women on a consistent basis," the Set It Off actress continued.

She went on to discuss one of his last viral videos, in which Samuels described unmarried women over 35 as "leftovers."

"I hope this is teaching folks a lesson about the karma that you put out, the negativity that you put out in the world," Fox noted. "That when karma comes knocking at your door, she might not be so kind. So, the fact that he keeled over real quick and was supposedly with a woman that we don't yet know the nationality … rest in peace."
