Spain win second World Cup after suffocating Argentina out of game

Spain’s second World Cup title did not arrive in a blaze of chaos or a flurry of goals. It came through something far more familiar, control. Luis de la Fuente’s side beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time in New Jersey. Ferran Torres delivered the decisive moment, but the story of this final was written long before the ball hit the net. Spain dominated every phase, every rhythm, every inch of the pitch. This was a victory for football philosophy. Spain dominated The match never resembled the dramatic, end‑to‑end final of 2022. It never threatened to. Spain imposed their game immediately, pinning…

Nigel Farage had state security after accepting £5m, so what is the truth?

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have several ongoing scandals, with some of them being interlinked. Farage’s biggest controversy is probably the undeclared £5 million gift he received from a foreign-based crypto donor. This is linked to Reform UK’s controversial recent claim that their MPs receive no security from the state because Farage has at times claimed he needs that £5 million for security. Now, it turns out he was getting state security. The arrogance of Farage’s lie about being refused state funded security is exceeded by his crass stupidity in thinking he could get away with it Yesterday Yusuf revealed that…

Argentina criticised over Falklands banner after England clash

Argentina’s players have been criticised after displaying a banner referencing the Falkland Islands in the aftermath of their 2-1 World Cup semifinal win over England. The banner, held aloft on Wednesday night, translated as: “The Falkland Islands are Argentinian,” prompting immediate political reaction and renewed scrutiny over FIFA’s rules on political messaging. The Falkland Islands remain a UK overseas territory, with islanders voting overwhelmingly in 2013 to retain that status. The islands have long been a point of tension between the two nations, most notably during the 1982 conflict, when Argentinian forces invaded before being forced to surrender two months later.…

Palestinian father attacked at son’s grave, one year after Israeli settlers murdered him

On 11 July 2025, Israeli occupation settlers brutally murdered Sayfullah “Saif” Musallet – a 23 year old Palestinian- American, and his friend, 23 year old Mohammed al-Shalabi, in al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya, near Sinjil in the occupied West Bank. Now, a year later, the father of Saif – Kamel Musallet – has been attacked by Israeli settlers when attempting to visit his son’s grave. A group of journalists accompanying Kamel were also attacked by the unaccountable settlers. Israeli settler attacks Several months before the summer of 2025 Israeli settlers set up an outpost amongst Palestinian olive groves in the occupied West Bank. They…

US Congressman Ro Khanna slams IOF after detention by armed Israeli settlers

Extremist Israeli settlers — is there any other kind? — detained US lawmaker Ro Khanna as he visited the occupied West Bank last week. Khanna — one of the more critical of Israel among US politicians — was held for around 90 minutes by land-thieves armed with M4 assault rifles. He said that when Israeli troops finally turned up: they sided with the settlers and continued our detention. Khanna becomes the first US politician held by the apartheid colony. Surely his brown skin had nothing to do with it. The detention has been ignored by the White House and US Israel…

Deranged Israel-first senator Graham dies after visit to Ukraine arms factory

Rabidly Israel-first US senator Lindsey Graham has died aged 71. His office described his death as coming after a “brief and sudden” illness. Graham was one of the more unhinged US politicians, even among Trump supporters. Irredeemably Israel-first, he even threatened a US invasion of the International Criminal Court over its arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. Lindsey Graham — Shameless genocider Graham was a shameless supporter of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, though he would never have admitted it is a genocide. His comments make clear he had no concern whatsoever for Israel’s hundreds of thousands of Palestinian victims: “I am with…

Jarell Quansah receives two-match ban after Mexico red card

England’s last‑16 win over Mexico came at a cost. Jarell Quansah, starting at right‑back in the Azteca stadium, was sent off just before the hour mark and has now been handed a two‑match suspension after FIFA ruled his challenge on Jesús Gallardo amounted to serious foul play. The decision leaves Thomas Tuchel short of options on the right side of defence as England prepare for Norway on Saturday. Corrupt FIFA extends ban The incident came in the 54th minute. Quansah slid in on Gallardo, catching him high on the shin. Referee Alireza Faghani initially let play continue, but VAR intervened. After…

US attacks Iran less than a week after blocking extra Epstein file release

The US has recommenced its bombing of Iran — less than a week after Trump’s ‘justice’ department (DOJ) blocked a court-ordered release of further Epstein files. Epstein revelations, or Trump’s attempts to avoid them, have been so synchronised with the US-Israel war on Iran that it has been dubbed “Operation Epstein Distraction”. The attacks breach the US’s commitments under its ‘Memorandum of Understanding‘ with Iran. US protecting the guilty A US judge had ordered the Trump regime to release files no later than 2 July, along with the identities and email addresses of individuals the DOJ had unlawfully redacted. Under legislation…

Police tell immunocompromised protesters wearing masks ‘get arrested and plead after’

Police have told a campaign group for the families of people suffering a reduced immune system that they will be prosecuted for wearing masks at protests. The police also told them they will have to use their health issues in court as part of their defence. The Clinically Vulnerable Families (CVF) group played a major role in the Covid inquiry and represents people who could become seriously ill, or even die, from infections most of us would shrug off. Immunocompromised people wear masks in public as a defence against such infections. But the Police and Crime Act Section 157 criminalises the…

Israeli arms firm returns after Westminster scandal

RUK Advanced Systems Ltd helped fund a group of British MPs as part of a ‘PR and marketing campaign’ A British weapons firm owned by the Israeli government has been brought back to life, after its lobbying activities were exposed by Declassified last year. RUK Advanced System Ltd is registered in London, but records show it is a subsidiary of Israel’s state owned arms giant, Rafael. In October, documents were filed with Companies House to shut the business down, following our investigation. But it’s now been revived – and claims to be supplying British armed forces.

FIFA rulebook faces stress test after Trump intervention

Not every crisis to hit football begins with a refereeing error. Some begin when fans lose faith that the law will have the final say, and when politics fills the space left behind. The latest controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun’s red card is no longer about whether the punishment was right or wrong. It is about whether FIFA’s disciplinary rules can withstand political pressure. Politics enters the equation Referees can make mistakes, but the rules have always been the final word. In fact, that was football’s strongest defence against those who suspected something more sinister. Errors are part of the game. However,…

People power works: evil Thiel’s Ireland retreat cancelled after campaign

In a sign of how hollow power can be once confronted, a Wicklow hotel has cancelled a Peter Thiel led event after a relatively brief campaign from Irish activists. A collection of the world’s most despicable ruling class parasites were set to infest the Powerscourt Hotel as part of a conference run by a secretive group called Dialog. Co-founded by tyranny advocate and genocide backer Thiel in 2006, Dialog were set to use the meeting just south of Dublin to discuss topics entitled Navigating WWIII, Battlefield Technologies and Build-a-Cult. That list of talks gets even more sinister when you know Dialog’s…

CPJ reverses decision to discount slain Gaza journalists after global outrage

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has reportedly reversed its decision to delete Gaza journalists from its database of murdered reporters. The decision came after the CPJ board overruled its chair Jacob Weisberg, considered the main driver of the original change. Weisberg, a vocal supporter of Israel appointed as chair in 2023, has argued against boycotts of the apartheid colony and described the BDS movement as “repellent”. He described supporters of BDS — the Palestinian ‘boycott, divestment and sanctions’ campaign against the occupier — as “sheeplike, liberal opinion”. CPJ — Who counts? The CPJ had changed its criteria of who counts…

Minister responsible for regulating social media quits X after two years of inaction

Lisa Nandy has announced that she and her government department for culture, media and sport are leaving the social media platform X as it: favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn’t healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it. However, many have pointed out that one of Nandy’s crucial responsibilities for the last two years since taking up her position has been to regulate social media. Her decision to just walk away from the platform suggests she’s either giving up, or alternatively – and more likely – the trillionaire has made regulation impossible…

Black football players targets of racist abuse after missing penalties

Black football players from the Dutch national team faced a wave of racist abuse after the team was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup on penalties. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) strongly condemned the treatment suffered by Justin Kluivert, 27, Quinten Timber, 25, and Crysencio Summerville, 24, after they missed their penalties against Morocco. The association confirmed it would take legal action against the perpetrators, in a message reflecting the widespread concern within football circles over the rise in hate speech following major matches.
