The route to this World Cup victory involved beating the other 2022 finalist and then suffocating Argentina as they dried out in the sun
Time to break the staff, bury the book and call time on that rough magic. There was, by the end, an undertone of sadness about Lionel Messi, New Jersey and a World Cup final that brought Spain the glory of an entirely deserved second trophy, and which saw Argentina offer almost nothing beyond a gnarled and gristly sense of resistance.
This is an Argentina team built on faith, devotional energy and a belief in the frankly irrational magic of your lone scurrying 39-year-old genius. Well, sometimes that magic will forsake you. The deus ex machina will refuse to appear. And he is perhaps gone from this stage now for good, a Prospero giving his final address to the crowd from a clanky metal bowl outside New York.

A stodgy final saw silky Spain deservedly beat cynical Argentina. Football wasn’t coming home after all as England suffered semi-final heartbreak again, before salvaging some pride to finish third – their best World Cup finish since 1966. The Tartan Army drank America’s bars dry as their team went out with a whimper. Cape Verde lasted longer than Germany. It was the end of the road for Ronaldo and Modric, while the phrase “hydration break” entered everyday parlance. But beyond the pitch, it has been an eventful five weeks, too.
Here are 26 viral World Cup moments you might have missed …

Europe has entered a new era of outsourced migration management. After a vote by the European parliament, the EU’s return regulation is nearing adoption – promising “more efficient” returns and “swifter” procedures to deport unwanted migrants. This will give countries the legal runway to set up return hubs – that is, offshore facilities to process people deemed to have no right to stay in the EU.
Despite opposition from countries such as Spain and France – and an outcry from rights groups – many other governments appear anxious to join in. An open letter signed by 19 EU member states just days after the vote at the European parliament, urging the “full use of the new possibilities”, indicates that implementation might be coming soon. Frontrunners like Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands are already on the starting block, poised to establish joint hubs which are likely to become operational in short order.

In 2024, John Carpenter had a dream that sounds like one of his movies: it involved a portal to the underworld beneath a disused church, monstrous demons and people being turned inside out. “I woke up and thought: wow! What an elaborate story,” he says. “I rarely have cinematic dreams, but this was one of them.” He liked it so much that he has turned it into a graphic novel, Cathedral, with an accompanying soundtrack. “It seemed to fit this heavy metal groove that we were starting on, and it worked out pretty well.”
Most people would consider this a nightmare rather than a dream, I suggest. “No. Nightmares, for me, are personal – something that happened to me,” he replies. “Usually my nightmares are, I’m directing a movie and no one will listen to me. No one will follow my directions. Seriously, that’s what I wake up from.”

After Germany’s Ruhr conurbation – the third-largest urban area in western Europe – was pummelled during the second world war, planners came up with an ingenious idea. About 80% of the sprawl – which incorporates big cities such as Essen and Duisburg, and dozens of smaller towns like Bochum and Gelsenkirchen – had been destroyed. And so, for the reconstruction, a newly formed Diocese of the Ruhr built literally hundreds of closely packed Pantoffelkirchen or “slipper churches”, so named because they were close enough to housing developments for churchgoers to walk to mass in their slippers.
Today, Pantoffelkirchen are declining sharply. Estimates of the amount of disused or derelict churches are as high as 300, and 100 have been sold off in the last year alone. Until October, 12 of them are home to Manifesta, the travelling art biennale. They stand as centrepieces of communities that have been ravaged this time not by war, but by deindustrialisation, mass unemployment and environmental decline.

For many birdwatchers, recording a species outside its normal range is the holy grail. In the UK, the discoveries often make national headlinesThe western reef heron, for example, usually found in Africa and southern Europe, spotted in a seaside town in north Wales in June, which was widely celebrated on birding forums.
But a new scourge is threatening to disrupt the fun: AI slop.

Afgelopen halfjaar waren er bijna 7900 geregistreerde gevallen van drugsmisdrijven, tegenover ruim 7200 in de eerste jaarhelft van 2025.
Volgens de politie worden drugsmisdrijven geregistreerd bij bezit, verhandeling of productie van verboden middelen. De politie noteerde afgelopen halfjaar in Zuid-Holland de meeste drugsmisdrijven, zo'n 1750. Noord-Brabant volgt met bijna 1550 misdrijven.
In Flevoland nam het aantal registraties met meer dan de helft toe; dit is landelijk de sterkste stijging. Daarna volgen Noord-Brabant en Friesland. Limburg zag in de eerste helft van dit jaar de grootste daling van het aantal drugsmisdrijven. Daar nam het aantal met bijna 12 procent af tot 861 registraties. Per 100.000 inwoners werden hier nog steeds de meeste drugsmisdrijven gepleegd, bijna 76.
Almere
In de twintig grootste gemeenten was de toename het grootst in Almere, waar het aantal registraties op jaarbasis meer dan verdubbelde. Van deze gemeenten daalden de cijfers het sterkst in Zoetermeer, met een afname van bijna 44 procent.
Het ANP heeft de politie om een verklaring gevraagd voor de toename van het aantal drugsmisdrijven, maar zij heeft daar nog niet op gereageerd.
