After wins over Uzbekistan and Congo DR, Colombia had already booked their place in the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup.Losing to Portugal would have sent them to Toronto to face Croatia, while anything else would set up a clash with Ghana in Kansas City. Option No. 2 was preferable, but sufficiently so to take the risk of…
Sheinbaum’s mañanera in 60 seconds 🤝 USMCA “remains in force”: A day after the U.S. said it wouldn’t renew the USMCA for an additional 16 years, Sheinbaum and Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard emphasized the trade pact remains valid until 2036, subject to annual reviews.

Mumford & Sons have a short break in their touring schedule, so they’re holding auditions for the role of “Marcus” in their new video for “Here,” a track that featured Chris Stapleton on this year’s Prizefighter. A plucky, boot-scuffling, upbeat ditty with lyrics about finding oneself, “Here” is the sort of song made for Mumford (and technically made by Mumford since he cowrote it with his bandmates, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane, with co-producer Aaron Dessner). So Mumford ought to be a shoo-in, right? Well, it turns out Mumford has some stiff competition, and, worst of all, he’s first up.…
The Invite – the sparkling new film directed by Olivia Wilde – starts with a quote from the florid wit of Oscar Wilde: “One should always be in love… that is the reason one should never marry.” Well, quite. A four-hander, nearly all set in the apartment belonging to music teacher Joe (Seth Rogen) and his wife Angela (Wilde), it’s a shrewd, savage and frequently hilarious take on coupledom, so wincingly accurate it’s hard not to see yourself up on screen.

Mexico’s national team jersey is the best-selling shirt of this World Cup cycle. I don’t want to get too sociological about it, but the jersey is, above all else, a symbol. The green of our flag — which stands for hope — the sun, the graphics nodding to the Piedra del Sol (the cosmogonic centerpiece of Mexica civilization), and the eagle that recalls both our flag and the founding myth that gave Mexico its name. It’s national pride translated into performance fabric. After decades of being told to ponte la verde, the jersey became shorthand for Mexican solidarity itself. On…
