2026 World Cup: good but not great, with the Balogun affair casting a long shadow

Columnist Jonathan Wilson rates the 2026 World Cup as good rather than great on the pitch, with the tournament's most troubling legacy being the so-called Balogun Affair — a politically driven compromise that was swept aside by the tournament's momentum. The final saw a moment involving Leandro Paredes and Gavi. Wilson argues the full consequences of certain events, including apparent bending to political pressure, may still become clear over time.

Was the 2026 World Cup a successful tournament overall?

New EU tariffs on Chinese parcels end the era of cheap Temu and Shein shopping

New EU tariffs on parcels from China have effectively ended the era of cheap everyday shopping on platforms like Temu, Shein and AliExpress. Previously, goods worth under €150 entered duty-free, enabling mass imports of inexpensive Chinese products. The regulatory change has stripped Chinese budget goods of their main price advantage in the European market.

Are the new EU tariffs on Chinese parcels a good decision for European consumers?

Scientists bypass 160-year-old physics law to create programmable heat flow

Researchers have found a way to circumvent Kirchhoff's 160-year-old law of thermal radiation, which was previously considered a fundamental constraint on heat emission. The new method allows heat flow to be manipulated in a programmable, more flexible manner. The breakthrough could have major implications for thermal energy management in electronics and energy systems.

Should scientific breakthroughs that bypass classical physics laws be fast-tracked for industrial use?

Gen Z buys CDs as collectibles, not to listen to music

Despite the dominance of music streaming, CDs are experiencing an unexpected revival among Generation Z. For many young people, physical music releases have ceased to be a listening format and become collectible objects and shelf decorations — something to own and display. The trend is reshaping how the younger generation relates to music.

Do CDs deserve a comeback as a mainstream music format?

Trump Snubbed Carney and Sheinbaum to Spend Time with FIFA's Infantino

At the FIFA World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, President Donald Trump largely ignored Canadian PM Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in favour of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Trump took Infantino's call about striker Folarin Balogun's red card and appears to give the FIFA chief standing access to the Oval Office. It was only the second time the three North American leaders had appeared together publicly.

When you should skip nail polish and hybrid manicures

Hybrid and regular nail polish manicures are not always safe to apply, and several situations call for skipping them altogether. These include damaged nail plates, certain skin conditions and allergies to product ingredients. Checking these risk factors before booking an appointment can prevent further harm.

Poland Registered 68,871 Premium Cars in the First Half of 2026

Poland registered 68,871 premium-segment cars in the first half of 2026, according to data from the Samar automotive research institute. Although sales of luxury cars are nominally growing, their market share is declining as Poles increasingly opt for cheaper vehicles. BMW, Mercedes and Audi remain the most frequently purchased premium brands.

Is buying a premium car in Poland still a good investment?

The discovery was described as "history literally emerging from the Danube." The find has attracted significant interest from historians and local authorities.

Family gifts tax-free only if you file SD-Z2 within six months

Family gifts are fully exempt from tax in Poland, but only if the recipient files form SD-Z2 within six months of receiving the money and confirms the transfer via bank statement. Missing either requirement can attract the tax authority's attention and result in a costly bill including interest. The issue was highlighted by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

Are Poland's family gift tax-exemption rules clear enough for ordinary people?
