Saudi Arabia v Uruguay is the World Cupโ€™s only group-stage match where the worldโ€™s largest country without a permanent river faces a country named *after* a river. Saudi Arabia has no permanent rivers. Uruguay takes its name from the Uruguay River. Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

A former banker who took football seriously at 25. Played local league in Cape Verde before going to Angola, back to Cape Verde, then Moldova, Portuguese Segunda, Cyprus (where he actually did very well), Slovakia and currently back to Portuguese Segunda with CD Chaves. Played in 4 AFCONs for Cape Verde, led Cape Verde to their first World Cup, while dropping 7 saves in a masterclass performance against Spain tonight in their first game at the age of 40. An inspiration to the people of Cape Verde and beyond. Ladies and Gentlemen, Josimar Josรฉ ร‰vora Dias a.k.a Vozinha

Canada is the first non-European nation to join SAFE โ€” the EUโ€™s joint defence readiness initiative โ€” and weโ€™re already seeing results. Because we joined, Montrรฉal-based Marconi Technologies will build made-in-Canada tactical radios for the Polish Cyber Command. This contract is worth more than $10 million and will benefit nearly 100 Canadian suppliers, their workers, and their families.

Whitefish salad is a distinctly American Jewish creation. Drawing on centuries old Ashkenazi traditions of smoking fish for preservation, immigrants in the late 1800s embraced abundant Great Lakes whitefish. The result became a beloved staple of Jewish delis and food culture.

Republicans are worried: Graham Platner received over 150,000 votes in the Maine primary, more than any Democratic Senate candidate in ME history. People in Maine are tired of establishment status quo politics. They want to take on the billionaire class & fight for REAL change.

The Russian dictator is now so paranoid that he had this Russian artist murdered in Poland for paintings like this. It'd be a shame if we made his works more popular than ever.
The overly sensitive Russian dictator continues to murder his critics globally. Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky, known for his sharp criticism of the Kremlin was reportedly shot dead in the Polish city of Biaล‚a Podlaska. According to Polish media reports, the attacker approached Skrepetsky in the parking area of a residential building and opened fire at close range. A suspect has reportedly been detained near the Belarusian Embassy, while investigators are also examining the possible involvement of a taxi driver who allegedly transported the attackers. Authorities have increased security around schools and kindergartens attended by his children. Reports also indicate that Skrepetsky's Telegram channel has disappeared. Born in Russia's Altai region as Robert Kuzovkov, Skrepetsky became widely known for political cartoons depicting Putin, Kadyrov, Lukashenko and Navalny. After relocating to Poland in 2021, he remained active in anti-Kremlin demonstrations across Europe.

Why did the President *and* VP need to sign?
Trump and Vice President JD Vance both virtually signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, a senior US administration official says Iranโ€™s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf signed the document for the Iranian side, the official said.

Luis de la Fuente on Cape Verde national football team after their shock draw vs Spain national football team: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œI have to be completely honest, Iโ€™ve rarely seen a match like this in my career. It wasnโ€™t football at times it was pure chaos. Cape Verde didnโ€™t try to play. They tried to destroy rhythm. Time wasting, constant interruptions, bodies everywhere, no space, no flow. It was extremely difficult to watch from the bench. And yes, I know their coach. Heโ€™s a close friend of Mikel Arteta. And if Iโ€™m being honestโ€ฆ I can see some of that influence in how they break the game up and turn it into something completely unnatural. But let me be clear this is not an excuse. Spain still had enough chances to win this game three or four times over. At this level, you cannot miss that many opportunities. What frustrates me most is that we allowed ourselves to get dragged into that kind of match. Instead of controlling it, we got impatient, emotional, and rushed. Cape Verde will call it tactical discipline. I call it surviving football. And if weโ€™re honest, they got exactly what they wanted: a game that had nothing to do with quality, and everything to do with disruption. But Iโ€™ll say this too if you donโ€™t kill games early, this is what happens at a World Cup. Teams like this grow in belief minute by minute. So yes, credit to them for the result. But Spain should never be in a position where a match like this becomes a problem in the first place.โ€
