The FIFA World Cup 2026 is down to its final four, and the tournament has delivered exactly the semi-finals many expected before it began.

France, Spain, England and Argentina are all former world champions. They also occupy the top four places in the FIFA World Rankings and were widely regarded as the favourites before the tournament kicked off. Now, only two matches separate them from a place in the final.

France and Spain Renew a Modern Rivalry
The first semi-final on Tuesday, 14 July at 8:00 pm reunites two European heavyweights who have become familiar foes in recent years.

France booked their place by beating Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco, while Spain overcame Austria, Portugal and Belgium. Mikel Merino once again proved Spain's hero, coming off the bench to score the winner for the second consecutive knockout match.

Spain beat France 2-1 in the UEFA Euro 2024 semi-finals before edging another thriller 5-4 in the 2025 UEFA Nations League semi-finals. Now, France have the chance to settle the score with a place in the World Cup final on the line.

England and Argentina Finally Collide
The second semi-final follows on Wednesday, 15 July at 8:00 pm, as England and defending champions Argentina meet at a World Cup for the first time since 2002.

England defeated DR Congo, Mexico and Norway to get here, while Argentina overcame Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland to keep their title defence alive.

With Lionel Messi chasing another World Cup and England pursuing their first title since 1966, another memorable chapter awaits.

The Golden Boot Race Is Still Wide Open

The race for the Golden Boot is just as tight as the race for the trophy.
Messi and Kylian M
bappé lead with eight goals each, while England teammates Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane have six apiece. France's Ousmane Dembélé remains in contention with five goals and two assists.

With all four teams still boasting match-winners, the semi-finals could reshape both races.

As far as you are grinding, continue and some day ,you will have everything you dream of.

Crossing is not even the best because you really do not know how worse that place is if it's even worth it or not.
Mind you , the angels came to this earth and refused to go back so there must be something here on earth for everyone .

Stop bringing rubbish here.

Rather than always talking about Tinubu nd Akpabio.

This nobody should be busy telling Nigerians what he can do differently and about his experience.

You call adebayo a no body and yet support somebody is is too ashamed to beat his name but stole and beats someone else's name

Shame

seunmsg:
You are just a presidential candidate and not a real contender. The contest in 2023 was between Tinubu and Atiku and the contest in 2027 will still be between Tinubu and Atiku. If you want a presidential debate so badly, go and debate Sowore of AAC and Gbenga Olawepo of Accord party candidate. Those are the presidential candidates in your cycle of presidential wannabes.

Obi won the last presidential election even Tinubu knows this .
Won hands down in Lagos 😂

Shame

Absolutely correctly put together.

In every relationship, understanding iis very important.

Look out for one another with love and understanding

9jatriot:
This is all that this man needed to have been doing from the beginning; instead, he was allowing enemies of state to lead him down the path of unconstitutionality.

As much as Buhari did not like Saraki, he was always mandated by law to go and bow there every year. It is the law. Instead, this one went and brought down the assembly complex because he was listening to the sore losers in the country who wanted to use him to get back at their supposed enemy.

He learnt his lesson too late. Far too late

My friend say what you know.

Fubara didn't do anything to warrant those wike and his boys nonsense.

How many times did he try to present budget and they refused?

Keep supporting tyrants because ur brother is in power

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has updated its travel frameworks to clarify the specific entry documentation international visitors need based on their nationality and mode of transport.

The new guidelines divide global travelers into distinct categories, explicitly outlining who can enter the country visa-free, who needs electronic clearance, and who must obtain a traditional visa.

Under the regulations, a small group of individuals can cross Canadian borders without a traditional visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

This selective exemption applies to United States citizens, lawful U.S. permanent residents holding a valid green card, and French citizens who reside in and fly directly from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Diplomatic passport holders and commercial transit flight crews meeting specific operational criteria are also exempt from both requirements.

A broader registry of nations allows citizens to bypass traditional embassy visas, provided they travel by air and secure an online eTA beforehand.

These travelers do not need an electronic permit if they arrive by land or sea. The countries under this electronic travel framework include:

• Andorra
• Australia
• Austria
• Bahamas
• Barbados
• Belgium
• Brunei Darussalam
• Bulgaria
• Chile
• Croatia
• Cyprus
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Estonia
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Hungary
• Iceland
• Ireland
• Israel
• Italy
• Japan
• Republic of Korea
• Latvia
• Liechtenstein
• Lithuania
• Luxembourg
• Malta
• Monaco
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Norway
• Papua New Guinea
• Poland
• Portugal
• Qatar
• Romania (Electronic passport holders only)
• Samoa
• San Marino
• Singapore
• Slovakia
• Slovenia
• Solomon Islands
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• Taiwan
• United Arab Emirates
• United Kingdom
•Vatican City State

Conditional eTA Required (Air Travel Only + Must Hold Specific Active Foreign Permits)

• Antigua and Barbuda
• Argentina
• Brazil
• Costa Rica
• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Mexico
• Morocco
• Panama
• Philippines
• St. Kitts and Nevis
• St. Lucia
• St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Seychelles
• Thailand
• Trinidad and Tobago
• Uruguay

Dumb party,dumb publicity secretary......shows how bereft they are as a party,instead of your candidate coming out to tell us what he will do better,you are asking silly questions.......the increased allocations your candidate had been collecting to run his state was from his generator engineer business abi?the several road construction projects all over the country is been funded from your father's salary?

Hiw can a so called party be so pedestrian in logic,pls we dont want another group of headless mob on our hands......how can you be asking for subsidy savings when you were actually borrowing to fund the subsidy regime......you end subsidy you stop borrowing to fund it and rechannel those funds elsewhere, simple! So what savings are these dimwits talking about.

Account for everything money on subsidy removal.
Tinubu must account for every money from subsidy,both education and naira subsidy removal


U go wail and explain taya

OCHKESTINE:
I converted my Honda Accord 07 a year ago, it has been wonderful.
For example, from where I live to the office cost 10k petrol daily (to and fro) that's 50k per week.
After I converted to CNG, it cost me 2k (to and fro) that's 10k weekly with CNG.
So you can see the cost saved by CNG.
I still buy petrol like 5k weekly, because the car starts with petrol and switches to CNG, I warm the car with petrol every morning then when I want to drive out I switch to CNG.
Some people don't mind starting their cars in the morning with CNG but I prefer petrol to start to give my pistons little lubrication before I switch to CNG.
The only downside to CNG is the cylinder weight in your trunk.
Since I began Uber fully, I had to add a second cylinder to make it total of 2 cylinders, that's because it helps reduce the amount of time I frequent the station to buy(CNG queues are kind of tough in Abuja where I live because we have few stations and many car owners have converted especially since iran and USA war increased the price of petrol.
I must say it is the only reason I am still doing e-haling.

That means the CNG thing is actually kind of hybrid because you can still use ur petrol to drive if you want .

For instance,if the CNG has finishes ,u can switch to your petrol and drive till u refill ur CNG?

That's the car I'm currently using. I bought mine a few months ago.
My advise go with a mechanic to inspect the car. If you can scan it, better.
Check the engine and gearbox. Make sure the gear selects well.
Generally the car is a sweet ride. Honda built that car way ahead of its time.
The handling is superb
The speed is great
The AC Na freezer
The sound system? Oh my goodness!
Mine has heated seats and heated side mirrors
Volume control on the steering.
The parts are cheaper than its counterpart Toyota. Imagine I bought shock absorber for 8k direct Belgium.
In terms of fuel consumption make sure the oxygen sensor is working.
If the thermostat is there it's an added advantage for fuel economy.
The gear is a 5speed automatic, so on long distance journey it is more economical.
You have to be careful about the ball joint maintenance. Buy original ball joint 12k and you won't experience leg pull. Also make sure they put locking pin after tightening the nut.
Enjoy your car.

Your detailing is very nice .

How much was it when you bought it

I have used same car for more than a year doing Uber.
I changed from Toyota Corolla 2010 to DC because of maintenance cost.
I couldn't keep up.
DC has been serving me, I changed both engine and gear box for less than 700k, the parts are far cheaper than Toyota, but if u want fuel economy I suggest u go for Corolla or Honda irobot, DC is not economic with fuel.
Though I converted mine to CNG.

How is the CNG serving you? Is it ok compared to fuel and can you throw more light on the CNG and how much was your DC when you bought it

Yet the car dealers keep reaping people off their hard earned money in this difficult time

They should mandate the car dealers to reflect it in their car ssles

Richtaiwo:
This VDM and the mentally challenged animals he is trying to impress should go take several seats.

Pastor Adeboye said,


What exactly does he expect President Tinubu to do after issuing directives and with the military actively carrying out its responsibilities? Should he personally put on a uniform and head to the battlefield? Even their god and saviour, Donald Trump, is not the one pulling the trigger in combat.

Asymmetric warfare is among the most complex forms of conflict and has challenged militaries across the world. Despite the application of both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, the same clowns remain the loudest in condemning every effort.

VDM is 100% right.

Psr Adeboye is now the spoke person of Tinubu defending inefficiency in the face of worse form of insecurity in the history of Nigeria when he could have done same thing he did during Gej.
It shows bigotry

Good one. But I think the 6 weeks should be reduced to just 4 weeks.
I didn't enjoy being locked up in camp for 3 weeks. And I don't think everyone will like it; although the routine is different now.

Good initiative from the presidency. I hope it becomes a success.

It should even be 13 weeks for intensive boot camp like training

Dpsychologist:
One of the biggest shocks of adulthood is discovering that your parents were making sacrifices you never noticed.

When I was growing up, I thought my family was comfortable because I never lacked food, school fees, clothing or pocket money. It was only after I became responsible for my own bills that I realized how much effort it took to provide those things. That realization changed how I viewed money. It forced me to become intentional about building my life instead of simply enjoying it.

Many young people, both men and women, do not fully understand their financial reality because someone else is still carrying their responsibilities. Parents, relatives, partners or even friends often cushion the true cost of life. It is easy to develop expensive tastes when you are not paying the bills yourself.

This is why financial self awareness is so important before entering a serious relationship or marriage.

For men especially, there is another lesson worth learning. Society often pressures men to marry immediately after they make their first significant income. A young man struggles for years, finally saves a few million naira, then feels compelled to spend a huge portion of it on a wedding instead of investing in assets or expanding his business.

That first breakthrough is often your seed capital. It should be treated carefully because it can determine whether you remain financially stable or return to where you started.

Marriage is not just about love. It is also a lifelong financial partnership. If you are not emotionally, mentally and financially prepared, rushing into it because of pressure from family, friends or society can create unnecessary hardship for both partners.

The right partner should add value to your life, not become another financial burden. Likewise, you should also be someone who brings value into your partner's life. Healthy relationships are built on mutual commitment, shared responsibility, respect and a common vision for the future.

Before saying "I do," ask yourself a simple question.

Am I building a future, or am I responding to pressure?

The strongest marriages are rarely those that begin in haste. They are usually built by two people who understand responsibility, communicate honestly, support each other's growth and are committed to building something greater together.

Do not rush because others are getting married. Build your foundation first. A solid future is far more valuable than a hurried celebration.

RyanAutomotive:
Good day sir,

Congratulations on planning to purchase your first vehicle.

From the options you’ve listed, all three are good vehicles, but the right choice depends on your priorities. As a first-time buyer within a budget of ₦4.5m–₦5m, here’s my professional opinion.

Ryan Automotive Limited Professional Buying Insight

1. Toyota RAV4 – My Top Recommendation

If your budget can get you a clean one, this would be my first choice.

Why?

• Excellent reliability
• Higher ground clearance for Nigerian roads
• Readily available spare parts
• Strong resale value
• Comfortable for both city driving and long-distance trips
• Relatively affordable to maintain when properly cared for

For many first-time buyers, the RAV4 offers a good balance of practicality, comfort, and durability.

2. Honda CR-V – Also an Excellent Choice

The CR-V is another reliable SUV with a comfortable ride and good driving dynamics.

However, compared to the RAV4, some engine and suspension components can be slightly more expensive or less readily available in certain areas.

A well-maintained CR-V is still a very good buy.

3. Toyota Matrix – Best if Fuel Economy Is Your Priority

The Matrix is a practical hatchback known for:

• Good fuel economy
• Lower maintenance costs
• Easy parking in busy cities
• Reliable Toyota drivetrain

If you mostly drive alone or have a small family, it’s an economical option. However, if you want higher seating, more cargo space, and better road presence, the SUVs may suit you better.

Professional Advice

Rather than choosing based on the model alone, focus on the condition of the individual vehicle.

Before making payment, ensure the vehicle undergoes:

• Computerized diagnostic scanning
• Engine health assessment
• Transmission performance check
• Suspension and steering inspection
• Underbody inspection for accident repairs or rust
• VIN verification and confirmation of vehicle history where possible

A well-maintained vehicle is always a better investment than a newer-looking one with hidden mechanical or electrical issues.

Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

Based on your budget and considering this is your first car, I would rank them as follows:
1. Toyota RAV4
2. Honda CR-V
3. Toyota Matrix

That said, I would rather buy a clean, properly maintained CR-V than a neglected RAV4. The condition of the vehicle should always take priority over the badge on the bonnet.

If you’re still searching, Ryan Automotive Limited can also assist with vehicle sourcing, pre-purchase inspections, and professional computerized diagnostics before you commit your money.

Whether you’re within Lagos or travelling from another location, we’d be glad to help you make a confident and informed purchase.
