Norway v England is the World Cup QF's only match where both countries lost important battles to Scotland in the 13th century.
King Haakon's claim on Scotland effectively ended in 1263 when he was defeated at Largs. In 1297, King Edward Longshanks was beaten by William Wallace.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography(ish)-based World Cup analysis.

To give you an idea of how British politics has degraded into deranged radical-right lunacy, just consider what the public reaction would have been had a politician in the 60s or 70s proposed the following:

For 37 years, over 2,000 images taken by a Chinese state media photographer were hidden in a metal box, surviving brutal purges—until now.
These raw, powerful photos show the courage of the students, the scale of the protests, and the horror of what the Chinese Communist Party did.
Now, The @EpochTimes is making the photos public for the first time. [1/2]

Canada : you wonder why Trump is acting the way it does? Constantly making the decision that benefits Russia, even to the detriment of the USA and -always- to the detriment of its allies like Canada?
This Guardian exclusive explains it all :
"Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election... according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents."
"There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory”."
"There is a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex”."
TRUMP, TO THIS DAY, WHO SUES EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER, HAS NEVER SUED THE GUARDIAN.

Manufacturers blamed cocoa prices for removing chocolate from products. Cocoa has since fallen 45% from its peak. No reformulation reversed. No price reduced.

What about the ownership of Union Corner?
There's two main landlords at the centre.
One is Afton Estates Ltd, who own the unit the vape shop is located in.
The other is an offshore company with a trail to Tel Aviv. They own most of Union Corner. 👇

How did Trump come up with the most unprecedented tariffs in world history?
There is growing evidence that Trump’s team used an AI-based algorithm to devise a tariff formula. But the team is so incompetent, they couldn’t even interpret correctly their own tables.

The exact moment Fox News decided to hide the fact that the #StockMarket is crashing today by hiding their market ticker (the first time in 28 years they’ve done this) If Fox isn’t outright lying, they’re hiding the truth. #stockmarketcrash #Trump Tariffs
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This clip is from 2024, not of april 2025. In the video itself it says 2024 on the center bottom when the ticker disappears.

The Daily Mail just won the right to say Douglas Barrowman has "cocktail-sausage fingers".
And it won the right to say his actions ruined thousands of lives, led to two suicides, and that he lied about his ties to a likely fraudulent tax scheme. Thread.

Both Streeting & Starmer have committed to keeping the NHS “free at the point of use”…
But that can look like many different things

It’s Michael Matheson all over again.
Newspaper correctly reports what a politician has been up to.
Politician denies it.
Newspaper prints more details.
Politician has no choice but to admit the truth.
Neil Gray should be sacked for dishonesty alone.
