    Austria and Algeria's dramatic 3-3 World Cup draw sparked online claims that the match was fixed to send both teams into the knockout stage at Iran's expense. Conspiracy theories, misleading videos and fake FIFA notices have fuelled the speculation, with some dubbing it the "Disgrace of Kansas City" in a nod to the infamous 1982 "Disgrace of Gijón". But is there any evidence the game was engineered?

    Fact-checking Trump's birthright citizenship claims

    The US Supreme Court has dealt a major blow to President Donald Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship, ruling that children born in the US are citizens under the Constitution regardless of their parents' immigration status. The decision also casts fresh scrutiny on Trump's repeated claims about the policy, including that the US is the only country with birthright citizenship and that it's driving widespread abuse.

    Trump mocked for posting 'tacky' AI golden eagle on White House balcony

    Ahead of America's 250th anniversary, US President Donald Trump shared what appears to be an AI-generated image of a giant golden eagle mounted on the White House's Truman Balcony. Google detected a SynthID watermark, while photos taken after the post showed no eagle in place. Reposted by official White House accounts, the image sparked widespread mockery online with critics calling it "tacky" and "cheap", while pointing out that the White House isn't 250 years old.

    World Cup 'Pride Match': FIFA refuses to ban rainbow flags despite Iran, Egypt objections

    FIFA has rejected calls from Iran and Egypt to ban rainbow flags at their World Cup match in Seattle on Friday, despite both countries objecting to local Pride-themed celebrations linked to the fixture.

    Did Qatar's prime minister 'snub' JD Vance? Doha, Washington deny claim

    A viral clip from the first round of US-Iran peace talks in Switzerland has fuelled online speculation that US Vice President JD Vance was snubbed by Qatar’s prime minister, after users claimed the video showed him "ignore" Vance in favour of greeting Pakistan's prime minister. The Qatari PM, though, dismissed the claims as "unfounded", saying he and Vance had already spent hours together during the talks. The White House also rejected the narrative, pointing the finger at Iran for the rumours.

Trump has blamed the problems on "vandalism," claiming a 350-foot gash was deliberately cut into the pool, adding that multiple arrests have been made. However, he has not publicly provided evidence for the claims, despite journalists pressing him for proof.

    Lionel Messi is now the all-time top scorer in World Cup history, after scoring twice on Monday against Austria in the 2026 World Cup. But his first match, where he scored a hat-trick against Algeria, saw some online controversy. According to internet users, Algerian fans allegedly targeted him with an aggressive chant, calling Messi the "enemy of Allah" and threatening Argentina. But the audio is manipulated, and is in fact an old Arab protest chant against Egypt's president.
