By Simon Zimmermann Wird es das letzte Spiel in der großen Karriere von Toni Kroos? Der Mittelfeld-Stratege wird nach der EM seine aktive Karriere beenden. Während die Spanier im Vorfeld des Viertelfinales mehrfach betonten, den langjährigen Real-Star in Rente schicken zu wollen, hofft man in Deutschland, dass Kroos im Anschluss noch zwei weitere Partien bestreitet. Das DFB-Team will gegen La Roja erstmals seit 1988 wieder ein Pflichtspiel gewinnen. Gegen die Mannschaft von Trainer Luis de la Fuente wird das allerdings eine Herkulesaufgabe. Spanien hat im bisherigen Turnier wohl am meisten übe...

Feature image of avocados via Canva Pro. In Samuel Beckett's “Waiting for Godot,” often described as the play in which nothing happens, the two main characters basically talk to each other under a leafless tree while awaiting the arrival of the mysterious Godot, who never shows up. The Caribbean in hurricane season should be so lucky. Instead, characters — because it often feels like an apocalyptic movie scene — huddle under shelter, too apprehensive to talk much as they await the arrival of the storm du jour, which almost always shows up. For these islands on the frontline of the climate cris...

Feature image via Canva Pro. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season had barely begun when Hurricane Beryl proved itself, in many ways, to be unprecedented. It reared its head earlier than most major storms tend to do, it gained power quickly, being upgraded to a Category 3 and then Cat 4 system within a mere 48 hours and, having left a trail of destruction through the Grenadines — including at least six deaths — it became the strongest storm on record this early in the season, briefly turning into a Category 5 hurricane. As at 9:00 p.m. (UTC4) on July 2, it has reverted to a Cat 4 as it headed tow...

An 11:15 a.m. update from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, said that the storm had continued to intensify, with maximum sustained winds of 241.4 kilometres (150 miles) per hour. The hurricane is currently moving in a west-northwesterly direction at a pace of about 32 km (20 miles) per hour. Other locations in the Grenadines, including Union Island and Petite Martinique have been experi...

ABI imagery of Hurricane Beryl from NOAA's GOES-16 Satellite, June 28, 2024 via Wikimedia Commons, Public domain. Every year, from the beginning of June to the end of November, the Caribbean is on tenterhooks as the Atlantic hurricane season unfolds. The region, after all, has suffered devastating storms, which seem to have become more frequent and more intense as the climate crisis continues. This year, on Friday, June 28, an early-season weather system began to form in the southern Atlantic; two days later, Beryl had morphed into the most quickly organised Category 4 hurricane on record. An ...

By Jamie Spencer England will face Slovakia in the last 16 at Euro 2024, while high-flying Spain against fantastic minnows Georgia is perhaps the pick of the ties in the tournament’s first knockout round. France will also face Belgium, while hosts Germany made light work of the group stage in front of expectant home fans and are now tasked with overcoming a potentially dangerous Denmark side. Germany and Spain are on a quarter-final collision course if they both progress. Portugal won’t want to dwell on their final group stage defeat to Georgia as they prepare to face Slovenia. The group stage...

Image by Arzu Geybullayeva, Canva. Summer wildfires have become a usual norm in Turkey. Every year, forests, residential rural settlements and agricultural land burn to the ground as a result. But just as the fires have become a norm, so has the criticism of the state, for its failure to invest and improve its first response infrastructure, quick intervention, and faster dispatch of rescuers. Experts say while climate change or excessive weather conditions may have had a role to play, these crises were also an outcome of poor planning and incorrect decisions made at the government level. On Ju...

By Jamie Spencer Olympiacos are just the third club to win the Europa Conference League after narrowly overcoming Fiorentina in Wednesday night’s tense final at the Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens. Ayoub El Kaabi’s 11th European goal of the season – his 33rd in all competitions – was the sole difference between the sides when it came with just four minutes of extra-time remaining. Having lost last season’s final against West Ham United, Fiorentina hearts were broken again as their hunt for a first continental trophy since lifting the now defunct Cup Winners’ Cup in 1961 goes on. But Olympiacos, ...

The group was created on May 18, 2023, a...
