FIFA has confirmed that Argentina will face an investigation into the “disgusting” scenes at the end of the World Cup final. The team has gone viral for all the wrong reasons at this year’s tournament; and now, a petition to kick them out of the World Cup has amassed more than 23 million signatures. What a fun World Cup this has been... If only FIFA and Argentina hadn't ruined the whole thing. It's a sentiment shared by many online, who believe that this year's tournament has brought the culture of football further into disrepute - whether it's the exorbitant ticket prices, the controversial "hydration breaks", the Trump-Infantino relationship leading to the infamous red card scandal, some dubious refereeing and allegations of favouritism... The list goes on, and went on up until the final, in which Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time. Indeed, FIFA has confirmed that Argentina will face an investigation regarding altercations with Spain players, with players like Nahuel Molina, Leandro Paredes and Thiago Almada appearing to be involved, as well as assistant coach Roberto Ayala. Molina appeared to throw a punch at Spain’s captain Rodri as he ran past him, while Paredes clashed with Spain’s Eric Garcia. Faced with these pathetic scenes, FIFA's disciplinary committee has appointed an ethics prosecutor to assess what happened The actions of the Argentinian team could be judged as "violating the basic rules of decent conduct" and "behaving in a way that brings the sport of football and/or Fifa into disrepute". https://x.com/Kontrolla19/status/2078414993079332884?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2078414993079332884%7Ctwgr%5Ebacea27d67cc987ddc98f54480b368951965ca65%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.euronews.com%2Fculture%2F2026%2F07%2F21%2Fkick-argentina-out-of-the-world-cup-petition-nearly-breaks-guinness-world-record

This is one of the best news Ive heard. Let us see how Trump will interpret the ruling on Tinubu’s drug money forfeiture. Onanuga go explain tire. |
Atiku-hired US lobby firm submits Tinubu forfeiture records to Trump administration, congress A Washington-based lobbying firm engaged by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says it has begun sharing documents relating to a long-running United States forfeiture case involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with officials of the Donald Trump administration, members of Congress and congressional staff. The firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., disclosed that it was providing records from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning allegations linked to a 1993 civil forfeiture proceeding involving funds connected to Tinubu. The lobbying company was contracted by Atiku, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, in March under a 12-month agreement reportedly valued at $1.2 million. The engagement includes advocacy, diplomatic outreach and efforts to present Atiku’s perspectives on issues relating to Nigeria-US relations. In a post on X, the firm said it had held discussions with officials within the US government and congressional offices before sharing more than 60 pages of DOJ documents and related court materials. The firm said some officials were previously unaware of the historical case and that the materials were being provided to ensure that relevant records were available for review. “Following discussions with members of the Trump administration, Congress and senior congressional staff, we began providing more than 60 pages of Department of Justice documents concerning the DOJ’s allegations relating to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s alleged involvement in a heroin trafficking investigation spanning the late 1980s and early 1990s,” the firm stated The documents circulated by the firm include a background chronology titled: “Background and Chronology of the 1993 U.S. Department of Justice Heroin-Proceeds Forfeiture Case and the 2023 FOIA Litigation Concerning Alleged Heroin Trafficking from Nigeria to the United States Involving Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the current President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria According to the chronology, the DOJ’s 1993 civil forfeiture action arose from an investigation into a suspected drug trafficking organisation operating between Nigeria and the United States . The records referenced a case filed at the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, identified as United States v. Funds in Account No. 263226700 et al., involving funds that the government alleged were proceeds of narcotics trafficking or connected to money laundering activities The documents identified Tinubu, Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele as individuals named in the government’s allegations. The chronology stated that US investigators examined activities between 1988 and 1991 and alleged that proceeds from a drug trafficking network were deposited into bank accounts in the United States associated with Tinubu. It further stated that the DOJ alleged that Tinubu controlled multiple accounts and that some funds in those accounts were linked to proceeds of illegal activities The document also referenced Akande as an associate of Tinubu whom the DOJ alleged was connected to the organisation under investigation, while Agbele was described as an associate whom Tinubu said he knew through Akande. The DOJ later filed a civil forfeiture action in 1993 seeking the seizure of funds identified in the case. According to the chronology, the matter was resolved through a civil settlement, with a portion of the funds forfeited to the United States government The documents also highlighted subsequent legal efforts to obtain records connected to the historical investigation It stated that journalist Aaron Greenspan filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in 2023 seeking documents from several US federal agencies, including records relating to the investigation . According to the chronology, a US District Court in Washington, DC, in 2025 ruled that some agencies could not rely on a blanket refusal to confirm or deny the existence of records and directed them to process parts of the FOIA request in line with legal requirements. The firm said the FOIA litigation remains ongoing and that the documents were being shared with congressional committees for “informational and oversight purposes,” citing Nigeria’s strategic relationship with the United States The issue of the 1993 forfeiture case was also raised during legal challenges to the outcome of Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election. Atiku Abubakar and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi had argued before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) that Tinubu’s involvement in the forfeiture proceedings affected his eligibility to contest the election However, the PEPC dismissed the argument, holding that the petitioners did not establish that Tinubu had been convicted of any criminal offence in the United States. The court also ruled that the forfeiture proceeding was civil in nature and that the evidence presented did not prove that Tinubu provided false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by not disclosing the matter. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/07/atiku-hired-us-lobby-firm-submits-tinubu-forfeiture-records-to-trump-administration-congress/ .

Kylian Mbappe has become the first player to win the World Cup Golden Boot twice after earning the award for top scorer at the 2026 tournament.https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cre4z58pzj9o

Say it again and again ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ blackslayer: |
What a record. Mbappe got this one. Haters will only sob and die I wish Mbappe and Messi played at the same age. |
A Golden Boot race for the ages has the perfect finale - it will go down to the final match of the tournament. Kylian Mbappe's two goals in France's incredible 6-4 defeat by England in the third-place play-off moved him two goals clear of Lionel Messi, but the Argentine still has one match left to respond. And if the 39-year-old can score twice in the final against Spain, he will take the Golden Boot by virtue of having more assists. Anything less and Mbappe, 27, will become the first player to scoop the prize twice. That is before we even mention the fight between the two men to be the World Cup's all-time scorer. Mbappe now leads that race on 22 goals with Messi one behind. Mbappe's double against England took him to 10 for the tournament - the most in a single edition of the World Cup this century. The last player to make it into double figures at a men's World Cup was Gerd Muller for West Germany in 1970. And to put that feat further into context, prior to this tournament only eight players had scored eight or more goals at a single World Cup - Muller, Just Fontaine, Sandor Kocsis, Ademir, Eusebio, Guillermo Stabile, Ronaldo and Mbappe. The 2026 World Cup has certainly been a tournament for the stars. England talisman Jude Bellingham's goal against France moved him into third in the Golden Boot standings on seven - the most an Englishman has scored at a single World Cup. That edged him ahead of Erling Haaland by virtue of assists, with Three Lions captain Harry Kane one goal further back alongside France's Ousmane Dembele. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c89nl42dnpyo

Funny though. Don't know how that pans out. But this Mamdani guy is giving Trump sleepless night. |
Mamdani says he’s still looking into arresting Netanyahu if Israeli leader visits New York New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his office is still looking into arresting Benjamin Netanyahu if the Israeli prime minister visits the city for the United Nations General Assembly in September. Speaking on The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast, Mamdani said his administration’s legal department is actively discussing the potential arrest of Netanyahu, something he vowed on the campaign trail to pursue. “I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani said. “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.” Asked what he believed the law allowed him to do, Mamdani responded: “That’s an active conversation with our legal department. However, what we’ve seen at the national level is a desire sometimes to write your own laws, to go outside of the bounds of legality. That’s not something we have an interest in.” Asked what he believed the law allowed him to do, Mamdani responded: “That’s an active conversation with our legal department. However, what we’ve seen at the national level is a desire sometimes to write your own laws, to go outside of the bounds of legality. That’s not something we have an interest in.” The US has not ratified the Rome Statute, which obliges countries to arrest people who have ICC warrants against them. The Trump administration has escalated its long-running battle against the ICC, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently promising to “dismantle” the court and accusing it of “waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles” but with “the force of so-called international law.” Mamdani is a fierce critic of the Israeli government and has repeatedly criticized Israel’s war in Gaza as a “genocide.” Israel denies those claims. US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz on Saturday called the mayor’s comments “pure political theater” and noted the US is not a member of the ICC. Speaking to WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg earlier in the week, Netanyahu dismissed concerns about Mamdani’s calls for his arrest. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said on social media Saturday that Netanyahu “will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride, and stand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens.” https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/18/politics/mamdani-netanyahu-new-york
