Turkey stuns USA with last-second World Cup winner
Turkey defeated the United States with a goal in the final seconds of the match, handing the American co-hosts their first loss of the 2026 World Cup. The dramatic victory came despite Turkey's otherwise disastrous campaign in the tournament. Multiple outlets highlighted the last-kick nature of the winning goal as a stunning conclusion to the group-stage fixture.
Ukraine has seized what it describes as a 'chance to win,' with President Zelenskyy declaring a 40-day military blitz aimed at influencing Russia. Meanwhile, sources warn that Russia may be preparing provocations in Baltic states or Poland, raising fears of a wider conflict. The Guardian reports both the Ukrainian offensive and the growing concerns over Russian actions near NATO borders.
