20.07.2026The Day Spain Won the World Cup

The day was dominated by Spain's 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in the World Cup final, covered across all major outlets from late evening into the next morning. Headlines emphasized Spain's dominance and Argentina's lack of shots on goal, with some noting Trump's presence at the trophy ceremony. Earlier, the escalating US-Iran conflict drew attention, with reports of a ninth night of airstrikes and Houthi threats to blockade Saudi Arabia, raising oil market fears. Other stories included a €550 million EU fine for AliExpress, Israel's announcement of new Gaza settlements, and domestic issues like water scarcity and infrastructure decay, but none rivaled the World Cup's editorial priority.
