Sports › Kick Argentina Out Of The World Cup Petition Nearly Breaks Guinness World Record by Ironfaceman(op): 9:23am On Jul 24
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".

Politics › Atiku-hired US Lobby Firm Submits Tinubu Forfeiture Records To Trump by Ironfaceman(op): 7:39pm On Jul 21
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.

Sports › Mbappe First To Win Golden Boot Twice As Rodri Named Best Player by Ironfaceman(op): 7:54am On Jul 20
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.


The France forward netted 10 goals in eight games to edge out Lionel Messi in a high-quality race.

Having struck eight times to finish top scorer at Qatar 2022, Mbappe has won the Golden Boot in back-to-back World Cups.

The 27-year-old was the first man to reach double figures for World Cup goals since Gerd Muller for West Germany in 1970.

Only Just Fontaine, who hit 13 for France in 1958, and Hungary's Sandor Kocsis with 11 in 1954, have scored more individual goals in a single tournament.

Mbappe is also now the men's World Cup all-time top scorer with 22 goals - one ahead of Messi.

World champions Spain swept the rest of the awards, including captain Rodri winning the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player.

Mbappe moved clear of Messi on Saturday with two goals in the bronze match, although he could not stop France falling to a 6-4 defeat against England and finishing fourth.

"When you score that many goals in the World Cup, it certainly takes you to a whole new level," he said after Saturday's match in Miami.

"But I would have preferred not to be the top scorer and to have played in the final. It's good for my legacy once I've retired, but right now, that's not what's on my mind."

Mbappe also scored twice against Senegal and Iraq in the group stage, as well as Sweden in the last 32.

He followed that with strikes against Paraguay in the last 16 - the 70th-minute winner from the penalty spot - and against Morocco in the quarter-finals.

Messi could have overtaken the Real Madrid forward with a hat-trick in the World Cup final on Sunday.

However, the 39-year-old could not find the net in New Jersey as his Argentina side were beaten 1-0 by Spain, and ended the competition with eight goals in as many matches.

England's Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland of Norway scored seven times, while France forward Ousmane Dembele and English captain Harry Kane followed them in the list with six.

Sports › Over To You, Messi - Mbappe Leads Golden Boot Race For The Ages by Ironfaceman(op): 9:21am On Jul 19
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.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Mamdani Says He’s Still Looking Into Arresting Netanyahu If Israeli Leader Visit by Ironfaceman(op): 5:46am On Jul 19
Funny though. Don't know how that pans out.

But this Mamdani guy is giving Trump sleepless night.
Foreign Affairs › Mamdani Says He’s Still Looking Into Arresting Netanyahu If Israeli Leader Visit by Ironfaceman(op): 5:45am On Jul 19
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.”

Crime › Asylum Seeker Who Raped Vulnerable Man In Park Jailed In England by Ironfaceman(op): 2:13pm On Jul 18
An asylum seeker who raped a vulnerable man who was "in need of assistance" in a park has been jailed

Leicester Crown Court heard Islamuddin Talash raped the man, who had run away from home and was approaching strangers in the hope of buying a bike in Abbey Park, Leicester, in the afternoon of 9 October 2023.

The court was told Talash, from Smethwick, invited the victim back to his hotel where he said he had a bike he could give him, before he took him to a "secluded" area of the park and attacked him.

Recorder Sacha Ackland sentenced the 43-year-old to six years in prison on Wednesday, minus the time he has spent on remand, of which he will serve no more than two thirds in custody.

Ackland told Talash, an Afghan national, that upon completion of his sentence he would be liable to automatic deportation.

Talash was convicted of one count of rape following a trial at Leicester Crown Court in June, after the court was told he had stood trial twice before.

The court heard the victim had never visited Leicester before, and had conditions that impacted his social functioning and reduced his ability to recognise danger.

Sentencing Talash, Ackland said the victim - who was 20 at the time - was "in need of assistance" and he "naively decided to trust you".

The court heard Talash took the victim to an area of the park "clearly used by people having sex", where there were used condoms on the ground.


[color=#000099]The recorder said Talash instructed the victim to perform MouthAction on him, to which he "reluctantly agreed" despite not wanting to do so. [/color]

Ackland told the court the victim took the "path of least resistance", not recognising "you would do further".

Prosecutor Paul Cavin KC said a severe aggravating factor in the case was he left the victim "open" to contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

The court heard Talash had a sexually transmitted disease at the time of the offence, which he had been taking treatment for.

The victim did not contract a disease, the court heard, but he had to undergo treatment.

"I'm sure at least on some level you knew you were exposing him to a risk of contracting the disease," Ackland said.

Tom Welshman, defending, said the offence was "serious" and has had a "serious impact", but told the court he had a "number of points to make professionally".

Welshman told the hearing a number of Talash's family members were killed in Afghanistan and he had come to the UK to "escape a hellish existence".


Ensure justice was done'
Ackland said during the trial, she was told he arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker, having escaped the Taliban.

Listing mitigating factors, Welshman told the court Talash had no previous convictions.

Ackland said before the victim met Talash, he met two teenagers who had "maturity and compassion" to recognise the victim was vulnerable, and kept an eye on what was happening.

Ackland said the two boys discovered what was happening, helped the victim, and took him to a police station to report the offence.

They have since attended court three times in the past two years "to ensure justice was done", the court heard.

Ackland commended the two teenagers and said they would receive £250 each.

In addition to his prison sentence, Talash was placed on the sex offenders register for life.

Det Sgt Sarah Jones, the officer in the case, said: "The actions of the witnesses on that day were crucial in this investigation, they did absolutely the right thing by acting on their suspicions.

"They, along with the victim, deserve enormous credit for giving an account in court that led to today's outcome."
