Spain is the first men's World Cup champion ever to concede just one goal across their entire run to the title.
Argentina failed to record a single shot through all 90 minutes of regulation and the first half of extra time in the World Cup final.
England and Argentina are meeting at the World Cup for the sixth time, this time in a semifinal loaded with historical rivalry.
Lionel Messi, aged 39, has scored eight goals at the 2026 World Cup, leading Argentina as defending champions.
Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with the winning goal coming from Ferran Torres in the 106th minute.
England is vying for its first World Cup final appearance since 1966, when it won the tournament on home soil.
Lionel Messi, 39 years old at the time of the World Cup final, was visibly emotional during the awards ceremony after Argentina's loss.
Folarin Balogun scored 3 goals in 3 games — tied for second-most ever by any American man in a single World Cup — before his red card suspension.
Belgium beat the US 5-2 in a friendly match in March, though Belgium has looked beatable in this World Cup.
After Balogun's red card, the US played a man down for more than 25 minutes plus stoppage time and still won 2-0.
When reporters pressed Trump on his billion-dollar earnings, he insisted he has no contact with those managing his investments. His answer — that he has 'closed accounts or something' — left more questions than it answered about where presidential and financial interests diverge.
Qatar gifted Trump a brand-new Air Force One worth more than $400 million. Unlike typical government assets, this plane is set to remain in the Trump realm after he leaves office — framed by the White House as a future presidential library donation.
DSA-backed candidates have won high-profile primaries in New York and Colorado by combining economic populism with hard-left positions — rejecting corporate PACs, calling for abolishing ICE, and ending US military aid to Israel. It's a formula energizing voters in deep-blue areas, even as centrist Democrats fear it will cost them swing seats.
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old first-time candidate, defeated Diana DeGette — a Denver congresswoman who has held her seat since 1997, the year Kiros was born. The win is the latest sign that the anti-establishment wave is powerful enough to topple even respected progressives.
The US men's national team beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 in the World Cup round of 16 — their first knockout-stage win in 24 years. The victory came under dangerous heat after star striker Folarin Balogun was sent off, forcing the US to play a man down for more than 25 minutes.
Malik Tillman is so quiet that reporters often struggle to hear him speak. Then he stepped up to a free kick in a shorthanded World Cup knockout game and buried it over the wall. Born in Germany with an American military father, Tillman is the dual-national wildcard the US needed.
Folarin Balogun scored 3 goals in 3 World Cup games — tied for second-most ever by a US man in a single tournament — before a red card suspension rules him out against Belgium. It's a massive blow to a team that had just found its clinical striker.
Belgium beat the US 5-2 in a March friendly, but they've looked beatable in this tournament. A US win — without Balogun — would send them to the quarterfinals for the first time in the modern World Cup era, matching their all-time deepest run.
Democrats not aligned with DSA now face a bind: tap into the same anti-establishment energy without being painted as socialist extremists. Matt Bennett of Third Way warns it's 'very hard to distinguish yourself' — and the GOP is already calling every Democrat a communist.
Trump's 2025 financial disclosure shows the president and his family earned over $1 billion — led by $600M in meme coin sales and $500M from World Liberty Financial. The crypto haul dwarfs his real estate empire and has sparked conflict-of-interest alarms that the White House flatly denies.
Iran struck at least seven commercial ships in a single week, leaving nearly a dozen crew members killed, wounded, or missing. The US has reinstated a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump demanding full control — a goal that military analysts say would require eliminating Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
China's economy grew just over 4% in Q2 2026, the slowest pace in more than three years. While export booms in AI goods and electric vehicles offered partial support, youth unemployment and weak domestic demand exposed deep structural cracks — and Beijing's own target is now the least ambitious since 1991.
Two men died during immigration enforcement traffic stops — one in Maine, one in Texas — and neither was the intended target. DHS has now paused all such stops, with border czar Tom Homan ordering a review of ICE officer training, while no video evidence has been presented to support the agency's claims about the men.
New York just became the first US state to put the brakes on large AI data center development. Governor Kathy Hochul's moratorium could last up to a year while the state writes new environmental and energy standards — and she wants to strip away sales tax exemptions too, as dozens of other states watch closely.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee for two days of confirmation hearings. Senators are expected to press him on the Justice Department's independence and its handling of the Epstein files — two of the most politically charged issues facing the department.
