SportsSpain have won their first Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 win over England.
Victory for Spain in their third World Cup appearance prevented the Lionesses – the reigning European champions – from bringing the trophy back to England for the first time since 1966. England’s men’s team won the country’s only World Cup that year.
Spain won with Olga Carmona’s goal in the 29th minute. The left-back scored in back-to-back World Cup matches for Spain, who have a tournament-best 18 goals at this World Cup, and became just the seventh player in the tournament’s history to score in both a semi-final and final .
Spain, who had a near mutiny last year when 15 players left the national team, were the more aggressive team in the final and applied pressure throughout the game.
England’s defeat was the first at the tournament for coach Sarina Wiegman, who was hired at the end of 2021 as the team’s first non-British coach. It was also Wiegman’s second straight loss in the finals.
She is the only coach in the history of the tournament to lead two nations to the final; Wiegman was the coach of the Netherlands when the Dutch lost 2-0 to the United States in 2019.
The final guaranteed a first-time Women’s World Cup winner as neither Spain nor England had ever lifted the trophy.

Sports USAInter Miami has managed to win the America’s Cup, defeating the team from Nashville.
It was exactly captain Messi who unlocked the result with a super goal in the 23rd minute of the match, with Nashville not going to give up easily and would manage to tie the game in the 57th minute with Picault.
Messi would come close to the second goal, but it would be stopped by the post, while the final was decided at the end with the 11-meter shot.
During the first 5 shots, both teams made one mistake, while after that it would be the shots from the goalkeepers that would determine the winner, as the goalkeeper of Nashville did not manage to send the ball into the net, unlike that of Inter Miami.
Messi thus secures the 44th trophy in his career, thus becoming the player with the most trophies in history.

Business LifeStyleIsabelle Lux, a 32-year-old blogger from Palm Beach, Florida, said she was terrified as she sat in the chair waiting for her ‘Barbie Botox’, 40 units of the neurotoxin injected into each trapezius, the muscle that holds up her neck. She was looking to tone up her shoulders in preparation for the wedding as well as relieve some upper back pain.
“I kept thinking, ‘If it goes right, this is going to be great and I can’t wait to share it (online).’ If this goes wrong, I better warn people. So I basically figured that whatever happens, I’m going to tell people. And God, I just prayed that it would go well,” she said.
“Barbie Botox” has “conquered” social networks. The hashtag ‘Barbie Botox’ currently has over 7 million views on TikTok. Simply put, it’s a procedure that elongates the neck, slims the shoulders, and creates a very subtle physique when done right. This is why the last sentence is worth emphasizing “when done properly”. Because if administered incorrectly, or in the wrong dose, Botox can completely paralyze the muscles.

Politics UncategorizedFrom the once impenetrable skies of Russia, Ukrainian drones continue to fall. One crashed into a building in central Moscow on Friday after being shot down by Russia’s air defenses, causing traffic problems at all of the capital’s civilian airports.
A witness quoted by the Reuters news agency described a powerful explosion, while images from the scene showed emergency response teams inspecting the terrace of a non-residential building hit by the drone.
“At around 4:00 a.m., the Kiev regime launched another terrorist attack using an unmanned aerial vehicle against objects located in Moscow and the Moscow region,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Mayor Sergei Sobianin announced that there were no casualties and that the air defense had destroyed the drone that fell on a building of the Expo Center complex.
The complex includes large exhibition sections and multi-functional facilities, and is located less than 5 km from the Kremlin.
Air traffic was temporarily suspended at the 4 largest airports around the capital – Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky – which were later reopened.
Drone attacks inside Russia have increased significantly since one such aircraft was shot down over the Kremlin in early May. Civilian areas in the capital were hit later that month, while a business district in Moscow was targeted twice in three days during August.

EntertainmentThis was the year of “Barbie” with the iconic character who knows no bounds in the race to conquer the world.
Director Greta Gerwig’s film has surpassed “The Dark Knight” as the highest-grossing film ever for Warner Bros. in the United States. The fantasy film about the famous doll, starring Margot Robbie, has grossed more than $537 million in the United States, less than a month after it opened in theaters on July 21.
The Academy Award-winning film The Dark Knight, which opened on the same weekend in July 2008, took in $536 million from US theaters.
But, this is not the only record that has been broken by “Barbie”. The film has surpassed the success of “Captain Marvel” of 2019. “Barbie”, which also stars actor Ryan Gosling, has earned more than 1 billion dollars from ticket sales worldwide, breaking all the records of films that were made by women directors. Although some conservatives, including Senator Ted Cruz and commentator Ben Shapiro, have criticized what they called the film’s discriminatory message, that has not stopped its long-term success.
Margot Robbie, who also produced the film, is expected to earn about $50 million from the film, thanks to ticket sales and additional benefits from the company that distributes it.

EntertainmentAn independent Scottish production company is hoping to revive one of the most famous names in horror from the heyday of the British film industry.
Fife-based Hex Studios, which specialises in low budget horror and fantasy films, is bringing back the name Amicus for their latest production.
Amicus was once one of the UK’s leading horror studios, enjoying a long rivalry with Hammer Film Productions in the 1960s and 1970s before going out of business.
The new film In The Grip of Terror will be partly funded by the public and is due to begin production in September.
The plan to bring back the defunct studio name is the brainchild of Hex Studio’s owners Lawrie Brewster and Sarah Daly, who have made 11 films over the past decade from their headquarters in Kirkcaldy.
They specialise in producing and distributing horror and fantasy films with budgets of between $300,000 to $450,000 (£235,000 to £354,000). Previous films include The Owlman, For We Are Many, and The Unkindness of Ravens.
The company part finances its films through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, which allows backers to pre-order the film on DVD or Blu-Ray. Higher value donations can lead to a credit on the final film, a set visit, or even a walk-on part.
Mr Brewster has been working on the deal with the owners of the Amicus brand for two years and is excited by the chance to bring the name back.
“Our aim is to re-establish Amicus Productions as a beacon of independent British horror. We’re concocting a film that captures the essence and panache that rendered the studio iconic. By emphasizing atmospheric storytelling, tangible effects, and a genuine respect for the genre, our vision is to teleport audiences back to British horror’s golden epoch,” he said.
Amicus Productions was set up in London by American producers Milton Subotsky and Max J Rosenberg in 1962 and became a major player in the UK film industry. It is best remembered for a series of seven “portmanteau” films starting with Dr Terror’s House of Horrors in 1965.
These featured four or five short horror stories linked by a connecting story in which a group of people share their tales of the supernatural. Some of the biggest horror names of the day, including Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, were regular stars.
The studio, which operated on strict budgets and short production schedules, produced several films a year including big screen versions of Dr Who and dinosaur adventures such as The Land That Time Forgot. Changing tastes and the decline of the British film industry led to its closure in 1977.
Milton Subotsky retained the rights to the name Amicus and these were passed on to his family after his death in 1991.
Hex Studios started speaking to the Subotsky family two years ago. The proposed new film’s title and stories came from the late producer’s archives. They were suggested by his son Sergei and widow Fiona.
Sergei Subotsky said: “The Amicus name has been kept in my name since it was bequeathed to us by my late father Milton Subotsky, so I am greatly looking forward to its reincarnation,”.
Mr Brewster said they would like to make one film a year under the Amicus banner and they hope the productions will retain the feel of the brand’s older titles.
“It’s a continuation of the Amicus that many people know and love. We don’t want to ‘re-invent’ them for modern audiences. I almost want us to pretend that Amicus didn’t die and the films we make feel like they were made in 1973.
“If we do our job carefully the it will feel like something that sits very comfortably with the old Amicus films,” he said.
Amicus’s great rival Hammer ceased production in the mid-1980s but came back from 2010 with Let Me In, and the box office hit The Woman in Black.

SportsEngland-Spain. This will be the challenge in the Women’s World Cup final. The British girls triumphed in the semi-final played in Melbourne against the native Australia, with the result 3-1.
England opened the scoring in the 36th minute of the game, through Ella Toone. The tournament hosts’ response came in the second half with Samantha Kerr, whose shot deflected wide enough to send the keeper offside.
The draw did not demoralize the English, who scored two more times in the space of 5 minutes of play, with Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.
Spain will play their first major tournament final, while England Women also qualify for the World Cup final for the first time in their history. The advantage of the British is experience, as they are the reigning European champions.
The England-Spain final will be played in Sydney at noon on Sunday. Meanwhile, the third-place final between Sweden and Australia will take place on Saturday morning in Brisbane.

SportsCity is the winner of the European Super Cup.
Citizens have won thanks to penalties against Sevilla.
As for the match, the 90 minutes ended in a 1-1 draw. The Spanish took the first lead with Youssef En-Nesyri 25′, while the English equalized with Cole Palmer.
“Kevin’s injury is a big loss for us. His absence is felt when he does not play in a game or two, imagine for such a long time. Regardless, we have to focus on the final. After the triumph in the Champions League, we have the chance to win the Super Cup trophy. We must use this opportunity, as we do not know when we can play such a match again”, said Pep.
At Sevilla, it is clear that they are playing against all predictions. However, the Spaniards are not backing down and intend to take advantage of the given opportunity.
“It’s a final, 90 minutes of play where anything can happen. A week ago they were defeated by Arsenal in the English Super Cup. This makes us think that Siti can lose this match as well. There is very little difference between victory and defeat. If we are lucky, or the opponents will be on a bad day, Sevilla can win”, said the coach of Sevilla.
For Man City, this trophy is the first in the club’s history, while Sevilla has won it only once, losing a total of 7 finals.
