Argentina is clear that Argentina had to give away Argentina’s fourth World Cup. And no one in Argentina is very clear why.

“Let’s forget about everything. Let’s just play. Let’s just think about playing, people” With these words Leo Messi tried to raise the morale of his teammates before taking the Met Life Stadium field on July 19. In the scene you can see Enzo Fernández crying and Lisandro Martínez also congested. The video cuts off. It is, probably, the first video that begins to unleash the madness. The first one after Spain’s victory against Argentina to proclaim herself as World Champion is used to begin to suspect that something has happened, that something strange has escaped us. That the World Cup final is rigged. Why, by whom and how is something for which no one has an answer. What is certain is that some Argentine fans, YouTubers and certain press have combusted. “There is no doubt, they gave him the order to lose” “There is no doubt that the Argentine National Team was given the order that it had to lose. As a psychologist, I am trained to see and hear what was not said. And in Sunday’s game I saw strange things. They treated us like fools and put on a show” This time the words are an Argentine fan who claims to be a psychologist, an expert in gestural language and “not to talk about conspiracy theories.” He does not understand that “strange injuries” occurred or the approach and changes of Lionel Scaloni, Argentine coach. Click on the image to go to the original tweet The reason for this fan was clear: Fifa had to crown a 19-year-old world champion (Lamine Yamal) because that sells more than a champion Argentina “with a Messi who has already earned money and who is coming to an end.” The idea that Argentina could not win this World Cup because it played with Messi is somewhat funny because it has its counterpart in all the theories that pointed out that, precisely, Argentina had to win because it was Messi’s last World Cupthe best story for a competition that has shone for its individuality and for its own American commercialism. What we can praise about the previous video is the calmness with which the fan speaks. “I have no proof but I also have no doubt that they sent us to die in the final”assures this other fan who links the final lost by Argentina with the end of Italy 90a competition in which Argentina lost against West Germany when it arrived as World champion after Mexico 86. Of that match, Diego Armando Maradona said that Grondona, then president of the AFA (Argentine Football Association), had already warned them that they had no chance of winning the final because the designated referee was Mexican. “We were dedicated,” Maradona repeated in this interview. Comparisons with that final have been repeated for the obvious bridges that can be built between both games: Argentina competing against a European team after becoming champion and its star playing, supposedly, his last game with the national team (Maradona would return for United States ’94). But the accusations of fixing have been growing and slowly getting out of hand: “Everything that was predicted on the cover of The Economist magazine came true. We live in a simulation, everything is timed. I don’t know if they have a time machine. If they also know how to manipulate the energy of the mind worldwide so that what they want to happen happens…” For example this video from another fan in which he proposes “we continue feigning dementia, accepting that everything is written and we live in a simulation.” Click on the image to go to the original tweet For this other fanit is clear that “they were squeezed” because there were snipers in the stadium. Reasons are not known but This talk show does put them on the table: It was all a plan by Florentino Pérez, Atlético de Madrid, Giani Infantino, Donald Trump and the United Kingdom. The basis on which this theory is based is that Argentine players who play in Europe were threatened with losing the final. “They robbed us again (…) they turned us around and the best player told his teammates. The guy who headbutted England (Lautaro Martínez, who did not play in the final), the most important goal from the hand of God or the greatest goal in history (the two that Diego Armando Maradona scored against England in Mexico 86)… was he banned from playing? (…) No one will ever tell the secrets of football. Neither Messi nor Chiqui Tapia (president of the AFA). Do you know why? Because they were squeezed. And this is going to cost me dearly. Yesterday they squeezed Argentina like with the Malvinas, like with wealth, like the hectares sold in Bariloche. Yesterday it was sold to the Argentine team and it was not sold by the Argentines, nor by Chiqui Tapia, nor by Messi, nor by Scaloni, nor by the players. Because we put ‘the Malvinas are Argentine’ on a flag that two Argentine blacks took who if they weren’t footballers they would have to leave their lives in the Malvinas. Let them tell it to me however they want Click on the image to go to the original tweet One of the ideas that has been repeated the most in recent days is that Argentina lost because the designated referee was European. A decision that had its controversy before the final (It was even rumored that an Iranian referee would whistle the match) However, in this other gathering Another reason was pointed out why Argentina would have had to let itself lose. Eduardo Feinmann, well-known journalist in the country for his controversial interventions on politicsrejected the idea floated by one of the members that Argentina had sold the final in exchange for the FBI not arresting Chiqui Tapia. And the AFA is being investigated for an alleged diversion of money to two associations that operated in the United States. Click on the image to go to the original … Read more

The fourth highest-grossing Spanish film in history lands on Netflix full of political incorrectness

28 years ago, Santiago Segura shot the first film in the highest-grossing saga in the history of Spanish cinema in eight weeks and with 1.7 million euros. Now, the sixth part of the series, ‘Torrente President’lands on Netflix with a history of records that speaks for itself: the best first weekend of a Spanish film in the last 15 years, more than 3.7 million spectators in cinemas, the fourth highest grossing of a Spanish film of all time, and a budget that Segura estimated at just under six million euros. Twelve years after ‘Torrente 5: Operation Eurovegas’, José Luis Torrente, the former fascist and Atleti police officer, returns, always convinced that Spain is going through its most critical moment and that only he can save national dignity. This time he discovers that politics may be his best opportunity to thrive and after a series of entanglements he ends up leading the populist NOX party thanks to his unmistakable and demagogic style, so similar to current political reality. It was clear that Spain was thirsty for Torrente, and Segura, who can be accused of many things but not of not having a commercial nose, has been able to take advantage of a very specific social moment to return Torrente to the billboards. Right now, ‘Torrente, Presidente’ has already grossed more than half of all Spanish cinema released in 2026, and will surely become one of the most viewed films of the moment on Netflix, which helped co-finance the production and which has the rest of the saga exclusively in its catalog. The notable thing about all this is that ‘Torrente Presidente’ is not a rarity for Segura’s commercial career. Beyond the fact that the series has already raised more than one hundred million euros, Bowfinger International Pictures is behind the film, the production company directed by Segura together with María Luisa Gutiérrez. The company has more than forty titles and a history that includes ‘The Infiltrator’ (Goya for Best Film) and the sagas ‘Padre no hay más que uno’ and ‘La familia Benetón’. Between 2025 and 2026, its productions accounted for 30% of the Spanish box office. And between its traditional production agreement with Atresmedia and now the entry of Netflix into the company’s finances, the production company has a muscle with little to envy of much larger traditional production companies. In Xataka | Today on Disney+, the film that, despite exceeding one billion at the box office, has left the continuity of its franchise up in the air

The owner of an Audi A3 was fined three times for driving without a license. On the fourth, the court took away the car

What prevents a driver from driving without a license? Obviously, the law. But going down to a purely practical field, what prevents a driver without a driving license from going to the garage at home, taking his car, turning the key and putting it in first gear to take the car to work, take a walk or go out? That’s what has happened in Vigo where Justice has only found the way out for one woman: to take away her Audi. The Provincial Court, tired of imposing sanctions on him that emphasized that he was prohibited from driving, has decided to confiscate his Audi to avoid greater harm. By then the sentences had had “no deterrent effect,” in the words of the ruling. Either you give it to me or I’ll take it from you There are not many violations for which they can keep our car. There are not many reasons why they can revoke our driving license. Surely you have already found one of them. Bingo. A positive for alcohol or drugs leaves, for the moment, the car immobilized and depending on the severity of the positive, it can leave us without a driving license. In cases that the car is immobilizeda passenger who does not test positive may well take charge. alcohol control Or a family member or friend can come pick it up, as long as the immobilized car is not hindering driving. If neither of these two cases occur, the tow truck comes and takes it to the municipal warehouse. The next day, the car can be removed. By a person who has a driver’s license, of course. But, as we said, what really prevents a person from taking their car again when they arrive at the garage at home? The limits have been found by the resident of Vigo who stars in a story collected by The Voice of Galicia. The Provincial Court has ended up confiscating his Audi to prevent him from driving again without a license and in the process has answered the question of how many times is too many times. They explain in the Galician media that on March 15, 2025, she was caught driving without a valid driving license because all her points had previously been removed. Taking charge of the case, the Criminal Court sentenced him to six months and one day in prison for a crime against traffic safety. But he applied a less common decision: seized his Audi A3. The reason is that the convicted woman was the fourth time she had faced justice for similar events. To the point that the judge in charge pointed out that his record includes three other similar convictions in just 11 months. On those three previous occasions, the driver was fined for driving without a driving license. In the third, in addition to the financial penalty, he was imposed 60 days of work for the benefit of the community. On the fourth occasion lost the Audi A3 with whom he was driving. Upon hearing the verdict, the accused appealed to the Pontevedra Court, alleging that the three previous convictions for the same reason (driving without a license) are not enough to apply the aggravating circumstance of multiple recidivism. In addition, he requested that a mitigating circumstance be applied for drug addiction and asked that the car be returned because he considered that the measure was disproportionate and unjustified. For its part, the Pontevedra Court has confirmed that the seizure of the vehicle was a correct measure because the three previous convictions had had “no deterrent effect.” In addition, he emphasizes that the car itself was a “potentially dangerous instrument” since the driver had been detected driving without lights at night or under the influence of drugs.

The fourth iPhone syndrome

Apple just present the new iPhone. We already have all the characteristics of the iPhone 17 and of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Of which we have not had news is from an iPhone Plus because, simply, it does not exist anymore. Instead, we have the iPhone Air. Apple carries years obsessed with an idea: the fourth iPhone. And during all that time, Things have not done well. This year there is no iPhone 17 plusa family with warm results The one that has ended up cutting off the wings to bet on a new trend: that of ultra -launching mobiles. Because the iPhone Air does not stand out in technical characteristics if we compare it with the rest of the family, but if for something it stands out it is for a thickness of just 5.6 millimeters. Forks Apple’s weapon to stand up in an unexplored niche in which its greatest rival, Samsung, has already positioned itself with the Galaxy S25 Edge. iPhone Air and Apple’s desire Until the launch of the iPhone 5sthose of the apple only had one model every year, but in a market that advanced at high speed and with great competition, in 2013 they threw themselves into the pool with the iPhone 5C. It went so bad that they wanted to repeatbecause it was a iPhone 5but cut at a price that made it unattractive. Later they began launching larger plus models, but in 2021 they tried again to position themselves with a new product: the iPhone 12 Mini. It was an iPhone 12, but in a smaller format. The following year they repeated with the iPhone 13 Mini that solved the main problem of the previous one -autonomy -but the accounts still did not leave. Simply, the market was talking and I shouted bigger screens. The diagonal of the phones did nothing more than increase and less and less small mobiles were thrown. Even asus, whose zenfone were champions of this niche, They deposed the weapons With the latest generations, hugging the biggest screens. Apple was clear: if the market wanted large screens, that would give the market, and that’s how they created (again) Plus models. The latest generations have had iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 16 Plusmobiles that were like the ‘normal’ model, but with more screen and battery. But as the mini (although perhaps not in such a beast), the plus models have not finished curdling. The user who wants to spend the least possible money on an iPhone goes for the normal one. And the one who is willing to stretch the budget to buy the plus, If stretches a little more it reaches the PROr, with better screen, best processor and more versatile cameras. The Plus were running out of hole, but Apple’s story is clear: They sell more the more models they offer. Taking that into account, Those of Cupertino have redesigned the iPhone and have not limited themselves to launching one with a screen of different dimensions: The iPhone Air does not carry a “17” because it does not need it: it is unique. It is a new member of the family that comes to live with the rest, not in the shadow. It has only one camera, yes, but the processor is the same A19 Pro that we find on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It is a different bet for an Apple that wants to have that fourth iPhone compatible with the rest of its range, that smartphone that is not “the cheap iPhone” or “the most pro iPhone”, but the one that attracts attention by itself. Memories of Jony Ive Apple And yes, it draws attention, but here the question will be resolved within a few months. Because the response to whether the user needs a 5.6 millimeter mobile thickness (which implies in battery limitation, for example) will be elucidated when the List of the best -selling mobiles. In the end, that Apple’s strategy is successful or not, will be responded with sales, which It was what ended the compactsbut in the absence of having that thermometer, there is something obvious: whoever wants this iPhone Air should be very clear that it needs – or wants – that extreme thinness, because The price is on complicated land: 260 euros more expensive than the iPhone 17 … and 100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro. It will also have to be clear that It means goodbye to esim. But The iPhone Air has an ace in the sleeve: The Apple of recent years has been blamed that it is late for trends (AI is a very clear example), But with an ultra -elapsed mobile, it comes from the first to this unexplored land in which, apart from Samsung, There are other brands like Tecno.

It is the fourth blackout in just over a month

The palm has run out of light. The entire island went to energy zero on Tuesday at 17:32. Two hours later, 50,289 users still without electricity supply because of a breakdown. Energy zero. The origin of the total black in La Palma this June 10 was the “shot of a generation turbine” at the Central de los Guinchos, in Breña Alta, according to an Endesa statement. The failure caused the complete collapse of the system, which as we all know since the end of April It is known as an “energy zero”. The island still had no supply two hours later, according to The breakdown map of the distributor. Red Electric is Informing live of the advances in the replacement of the supply: 6.2 megawatts of the demand had been replaced at 20:10. Emergency Plan. Since there could be people trapped in elevators and others who depend on electricity, the Canary Islands government has activated The “Emergency Plan of the Canary Islands” (Platca) in alert situation. Meanwhile, technicians work at the start of the generation, still without a clear forecast for the complete restoration of the service. Fourth blackout. While it is the first that affects the more than 50,000 palm supplies, this is the fourth big blackout suffered by the island in just over a month. The most popular until now occurred on May 8, when a ruling in a substation of the same central of the Guinchos left 19,526 customers without light for almost two hours. Without light on the beautiful island. Insular electrical systems such as Palma are more vulnerable because they are not interconnected with large continental networks, so a serious failure in a main generation plant, as has happened today in the Guinchos, can more easily cause the collapse of the entire network. But with the energy zero as a drop that fills the glass, the situation has revealed the fragility of the island’s electrical infrastructure. After four blackouts, the question is what structural measures to take to guarantee the stability of the service. Image | E-Distribution In Xataka | Spain has flooded its territory of solar panels.

Sweden has just found another damaged underwater cable in the Baltic. The fourth case already has a suspect

Last week there were two news that gave an idea that everything that surrounds the cuts and damage of underwater cables in the Baltic is far from ending. After an investigation carried out in the United States, it was slid that the cases in recent months They were not due to a Russian sabotage, but to inexperience and the deterioration. Hours later, United Kingdom put the focus on Russia After detecting a ship in its waters for the second time. Sweden too. A Sweden-Leonia cable. Apparently, A new underwater data cable, now between Sweden and Latvia, was damaged yesterday Sundaymarking the fourth recent incident in the Baltic Sea, one that generates concern in NATO about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Latvia’s prime minister, Evika Siliņa, has described the damage as significant and probably “caused by an external force”which has led to the opening of a criminal investigation. As we have explained, previous incidents They have been linked to Russian and Chinese ships. Ongoing research and measures. The Financial Times had a few hours ago That the systemal authorities already have a suspect. In fact, they sent a patrol boat to inspect a vessel near the cable at the time of damage, while two other ships are also being monitored. Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, confirmed the damage to at least one cable and said that Sweden is collaborating closely with Latvia and NATO to clarify the incident. In response to these attacks on critical infrastructure, NATO has deployed drones, submarines, ships and airplanes in the region Under the “Baltic Sentry” operationan action that aims to detect and prevent possible sabotage attempts. As we also count, United Kingdom has deployed its p8 posidon fighters. Background and suspicions. The situation, by repetitive, leads to the affected nations that there is something else. The Recent incidents in the Baltic They have fueled suspicions about possible acts of sabotage by Russian and Chinese vessels. Finland recently seized An oil tanker of the so -called “Shadow Flot” by Russiacomposed of old ships registered in remote jurisdictions such as the Cook Islands, which evade international sanctions. Finland Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen declared that It is unlikely that the damage will be accidentalalthough he avoided pointing directly to Russia. Not just that. In previous incidents, a Chinese ship, the Newnew Polar Bear, damaged a gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia by dragging your anchor, while Chinese load Yi Peng 3 crossed on two data cables In the same region in November. Subsequently, he remained a month in international waters between Denmark and Sweden, where he was approached by Chinese researchers, although access to Swedish inspectors was denied, generating criticism from Stockholm. Why are they so important. It We have underlined On more than one occasion, but now something else joins. This last incident occurs in a high voltage context, since Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are preparing to disconnect in February from the Soviet Electricity Inherited and join the European continental system, a key step for its total integration in the West. The three countries, NATO members and the EU, consider this transition as His last separation from Russian influencewhich has generated fears of possible sabotage attempts to hinder the process. In this regard, Lithuania Defense Minister Kęstutis Budry A review of navigation standards in the Balticespecially when it comes to the use of anchors, underlining the most obvious: that the high number of recent incidents reduces the possibility of accidents. Repairs and contingency measures. Unlike gas pipelines and power lines, whose repair can take months, Fiber optic cables damaged in the Baltic are usually restored in weeks. In fact, the State Radio and Television Center in Latvia has assured that it has already found alternative routes to maintain communications in operation. Be that as it may, the repetition of these incidents, The room in the Baltic in such a short timeposes a significant strategic challenge for the region, one that has intensified its cooperation with NATO to strengthen the protection of its critical infrastructure. In fact, the organization has made it clear that any new sabotage action will be faced with firmer measures to guarantee the protection of communications and energy supply in the region.
