Spend five minutes on the World Cup side of TikTok or scrolling through X, and you might come away with one glaring conclusion: Everyone is rooting against Argentina.
That is not exactly true, of course. Argentina has one of the loudest, most passionate fan bases in the tournament, and Lionel Messi remains one of the most beloved athletes on the planet. But online, the defending champions have become the World Cup's biggest lightning rod, as every rival fan base seems ready to cast Argentina as the tournament's heel, the team that always seems to thrive amid controversy.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The latest fuel came after Argentina's dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Egypt in the Round of 16, a match that ended with Egypt filing a formal complaint to FIFA over disputed VAR decisions and officiating. Head coach Hossam Hassan even suggested the governing body wanted to keep Messi in the tournament, allegations FIFA has not substantiated.
BBC Sport later analyzed the match and concluded that while several officiating decisions were undoubtedly controversial, they did not amount to evidence of a conspiracy. Still, the outlet noted that perception has become part of the story, pointing to statistics that have fueled online debate and FIFA's decision to appoint an all-Argentine on-field officiating crew for France's quarterfinal against Morocco, a choice it described as "not a great look."
But the anti-Argentina pile-on is bigger than one controversial match. It is what happens when sporting rivalries, geopolitical tension, Messi fatigue, and internet fandom all collide.
That is the strange beauty of the World Cup. Every match carries decades of history onto the pitch before the opening whistle. Or, as one Portuguese-language X user put it, "The World Cup is 20% soccer and 80% colonial resentment."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Unlike club soccer, where rivalries are built around cities and leagues, the World Cup asks entire countries to compete. As writer Franklin Foer argued in How Soccer Explains the World, the sport often reflects far more than what happens on the field; it can become a proxy for nationalism, historical conflict, and cultural identity.
On social media, those fault lines get compressed into memes and 130 characters. Argentina is not just Argentina; depending on who is posting, it is the team that broke France's heart in 2022, the rival England still associates with Maradona and the Falklands, the opponent Mexico fans love to hate, or the Messi-led dynasty some viewers are simply tired of seeing win.
Geography doesn't always dictate loyalty, either. While fans often talk about Latin America rallying behind one of its own, the region's football rivalries run deep. Brazil and Argentina have spent more than a century battling for continental supremacy, while Uruguay and Chile each have their own sporting history with La Albiceleste. Mexico, meanwhile, has repeatedly seen its World Cup dreams ended by Argentina, helping turn every meeting between the two countries into an internet event of its own.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Argentina's relationship with the rest of Latin America is complicated by more than football. Historians and sociologists have written about the country's long-standing self-image as a uniquely "European" nation within Latin America, an identity that often minimized or erased its Black and Indigenous history.
That history has collided with soccer before. After Argentina won the 2024 Copa América, the French Football Federation said it would file a complaint with FIFA over "racist and discriminatory remarks" in a chant sung by Argentina players about France's diverse team; Enzo Fernández later apologized, and his Premier League club, Chelsea, opened an internal disciplinary process.
That broader conversation has followed Argentina into this year's World Cup. FIFA is investigating allegations of racist abuse directed at YouTube creator iShowSpeed during Argentina's Round of 32 victory over Cape Verde after footage from his livestream appeared to capture an altercation with an Argentina supporter. The investigation is ongoing, but the incident quickly became another flashpoint in the wider online debate surrounding Argentina and race.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.None of that means every Argentina fan shares those views, or that every anti-Argentina post is about race. But it helps explain why some Latin American and Black football fans online are reading this year's incidents through a broader history, one in which Argentina's image of itself as white and European has long been contested.
So, the next time your For You Page insists that "everyone hates Argentina," remember that you're probably looking at more than just another soccer take. You're watching decades of history compressed into a 90-second video and one very heated comments section.
The owner of X, the everything app, has announced a new feature that might be useful but also annoying.
In a standalone post on X, Elon Musk announced that Community Notes will get a new feature at some point soon. If a user interacts with a post that has since been corrected via Community Notes, a bot will send them a direct message about the correction.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk to pay SEC $1.5 million settlement, judge signs off despite 'serious misgivings' This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Musk's posts were pretty vague and raised a few questions. For starters, we don't know when this feature will launch. More importantly, though, Musk didn't specify what kinds of interactions will prompt one of these automatic DMs. Will any interaction, such as a like, trigger one, or does the user need to repost or quote the post for the bot to send a message?
Beyond that, it's worth asking how effective this will actually be in curbing the spread of misinformation. Oftentimes, a post will gain a ton of traction before a Community Note corrects it, and sending messages to people who helped spread the post will only work if the users actually check their DMs, and then actually feel like removing whatever interactions they made with the corrected post.
Still, some accountability is better than none, I suppose.
Next time you go in for a surgery, will your doctor be a five-foot tall, 60 pound humanoid robot named Surgie? It very well could be!
A team of surgeons and engineers at University of California San Diego just successfully completed the first ever pair of surgeries during a preclinical trial using teleoperated humanoid robots.
Both of the surgeries were performed on non-primate mammals, so we're not yet at the level of operating on humans quite yet. But, it seems headed in that direction.
One surgery involved a humanoid robot and a human surgeon teaming up to perform a gallbladder removal. The human doctor acted as the assistant during the procedure. However, the second surgery, a laparoscopic gallbladder removal, was performed completely by a team of two humanoid robot surgeons.
"This study shows that humanoid robots have a viable future in the field of surgery," said UC San Diego Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering's Michael Yip, who is also one of the paper's senior authors.
SEE ALSO: Hyundai's Atlas robot debuts on the biggest stage of all: The World CupA robot surgeon is more than just an impressive accomplishment. The team detailed the important and practical uses for humanoid robots like Surgie at the operating table.
"Remotely operated and autonomous humanoid robots have real potential for amplifying access to critical surgeries to which patients would otherwise not have access," Yip said to UC San Diego Today. "This can help address the healthcare crisis not only in the United States, but also worldwide.”
The team provided examples such as humanoid robots "being deployed in remote communities where staffing is challenging, or in austere environments like search and rescue scenarios where a massive deployment of field medicine is needed in a short period of time."
Standing at only five-feet tall and weighing just 60 pounds also makes Surgie extremely mobile and compact in size.
Featured Video For You The humanoid so real they had to cut it openHowever, there are still some kinks that need to be worked out. The team says the humanoid robot had to be recalibrated a few times during the surgery, which extended the time it took to complete the procedure. In addition, latency issues are still be worked on. Latency, or the time it takes for a human to control the robot and the robot responding, is especially important regarding deploying these robots in remote locations.
Regardless of these issues, the team behind Surgie believes there is a role the humanoid robot can play right now in the field. Being a humanoid robot means that Surgie can walk around and perform tasks similar to humans. Researchers envision scenarios where Surgie can work as an assistant in the operating room, getting tools for the human surgeons and cleaning up after procedures.
"Many communities struggle with adequate staffing on the surgical team, which means patients are not being treated," Yip said. "Our goal is an operating theatre of the future, where humanoid robots and humans work side by side as an integrated team to deliver procedures to those in need, both in traditional hospital settings as well as in non-traditional, field medicine scenarios."

SAVE $50: As of July 9, the Sony WH-1000X The Collexion headphones are on sale for $599.99 at Target. That's $50 off their list price and, at the time of writing, $48 cheaper than Amazon.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony WH-1000X The Collexion headphones $599.99 at TargetSony dropped a new pair of headphones in May to celebrate 10 years of its 1000X series. The name is terrible — WH-1000X The Collexion — but the execution is superb. They're extremely overpriced at $650, which is $200 more than the already excellent WH-1000XM6 headphones, but as of July 9, they've received their first-ever price drop.
You can grab the Sony WH-1000X The Collexion headphones in either black or platinum for $599.99 if you shop at Target, saving you a whole $50. It ain't much, but it's the best price to date. Plus, it beats Amazon by $48 at the time of writing.
What's so special about the anniversary headphones? Well, rather than the mostly plastic build of typical headphones, the Collexion headphones feature a stainless steel and vegan leather chassis with metal buttons and on-ear controls. Sony really prioritized quality and comfort with these babies, as well as sound. The Collexion headphones include a bespoke driver system that allows for more clarity and better high-frequency range. They also have a V3 integrated audio processor on board, which helps power an AI scale enhancement feature. Ironically, the battery life and noise cancellation are slightly less impressive compared to the XM6s.
As Mashable's Bethany Allard states, "Sony enthusiasts, folks who love a luxury look, and those who prioritize comfort above all else are the target audience for this Sony release." If that's you, and you've been waiting to grab these high-end headphones, I recommend grabbing them at Target and saving $50. Every bit counts.

The Lego Icons Pac-Man Arcade set is currently down to $215.99 for Lego Insiders, saving members $54 off its usual $269.99 price through July 12 or while supplies last. The good news? Joining Lego Insiders is free, and the purchase qualifies you for a complimentary Sea Serpent gift set ($24.99 value).
Designed for adult builders, this 2,651-piece set recreates the look of the original 1980s arcade cabinet, complete with a 4-way joystick, glowing coin slot, and adjustable score display. It’s not a playable arcade machine, but Lego packed in plenty of interactive touches to make it feel like the real thing.
Credit: LegoThe coolest feature is the mechanical maze hidden inside the cabinet. Turn the side crank and you can simulate Pac-Man’s classic chase through the maze as the characters move around the board. You can even remove the back panel to peek at the inner mechanics and see how the whole system works. Up top, you’ll find a display case featuring rotatable Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde figures, plus a tiny 1980s arcade scene with a gaming minifigure tucked inside the cabinet.
Credit: LegoBeyond the nostalgia factor, the set has a fun bit of gaming history behind its design. The yellow used for Pac-Man was reportedly inspired by the same shade of yellow found on Lego bricks — so this collaboration feels like a full-circle moment. Once built, the 12.5-inch-tall arcade cabinet makes a pretty impressive display piece for anyone who grew up feeding quarters into the original game or just loves a good retro gaming collectible.
For a little nostalgia you can actually display, this Lego Pac-Man Arcade set is a pretty fun pickup.

SAVE $120: As of July 9, the Sonos Ace noise-cancelling headphones are on sale for just $279 on Amazon. That's a saving of 30% on list price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sonos Sonos Ace $279 at AmazonWhen Sonos released its first-ever headphones in spring 2024, our biggest complaint was the steep $449 price tag. So it's a good thing the brand knocked $50 off the list price last summer, and even better that it just shaved an extra $120 off just because.
As of July 9, the Sonos Ace headphones are on sale for only $279 at Amazon — a much more palatable price for noise-cancelling headphone seekers. That's 30% off the current list price and just $14 or so more than their all-time low from Prime Day.

Thanks for signing up!The Ace headphones are an aesthetic knockout, but beyond looks, they also offer incredible sound quality, impressive spatial audio, top-notch battery life (30 hours with noise cancellation turned on), and extreme comfort. As Mashable's tester Miller Kern noted in her review, "No exaggeration, these are the most comfortable over-ear headphones I’ve personally tried."
The noise cancellation is just fine, but other brands have it beat. If cutting outside noise is your top priority, we'd recommend going with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2s or even the AirPods Pro 2. If you like to stay in touch with the outside world, Kern writes that Sonos Ace's aware mode is "probably the best transparency mode I’ve experienced."
Once a bit overpriced, the Sonos Ace headphones are now a pretty sweet value at just $279. But the deal won't last forever, so add it to your cart while you can.
Respect your teachers, folks. They're underpaid, underappreciated, and if you push them to the edge, well, good luck. That's the core message of the Saoirse Ronan-led dark comedy thriller Bad Apples, which has a trailer out today.
Directed by Jonatan Etzler and written by Jess O'Kane as an adaptation of Rasmus Andersson's novel De Oönskade, the film sees Ronan as a Somerset-based primary school teacher named Maria. She adores teaching, but the underfunded education system wears her down on the daily. When her disruptive student Danny (newcomer Eddie Waller) spins out of control, Maria makes some choices.
As I wrote in my review out of BFI London Film Festival, "With Ronan's always-impeccable talents supported by a sublime young cast, Bad Apples leans into unethical impulses, all the while exposing home truths about the under-resourced education system and social disdain toward children with behavioural, emotional, and social difficulties. Plus, it's really funny."
Bad Apples hits cinemas Sept. 18.

If you're in a public place or at work or surrounded by people whose opinion you care about, maybe watch the Hope trailer where you can have a little freak-out?
The latest action-packed South Korean horror from The Medium and The Wailing director Na Hong-jin, Hope promises a blood-soaked nightmare in a small village plagued by a violent creature. The film's name comes from its setting, Hope Harbour, a chill town that didn't expect its quiet streets to be pulverised by a strange (and incredibly strong) beast. Police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung- min), officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon), hunter Sung- ki (Zo In-Sung) have quite the task on their hands, to wrangle this rampaging terror before it tears them to shreds.
From the looks of it this is no straightforward monster movie, with intergalactic elements sneaking in. But there's plenty of action afoot, with the town fighting for their damn lives in this Neon trailer.
Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton, Alicia Vikander, and Michael Fassbender also star.

If you use Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot, and you're wondering if you're using it too much, assistance is coming from an unlikely source: Claude.
Anthropic says Claude's new "reflect" tool is designed to help users answer complex questions about their AI use.
SEE ALSO: How to spot an AI chatbot on AdultFriendFinderThat includes whether you're using Claude effectively, too often, or for too many tasks that are better suited for yourself instead of artificial intelligence, Anthropic said in a blog post Thursday.
What will Claude's reflect feature help with?The insights dashboard shows key topics, usage patterns, and frequent tasks. Users can review their chat activity over periods of one, three, six, or 12 months. They can also set (and dismiss) quiet hours and break nudges.
The feature "invites you to step back and examine the role Claude plays in your life," the company said in its announcement.
"It will periodically surface questions like, 'What's one thing you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?' and give you the chance to talk it through with Claude."
Reflection tool shows peak hour and number of conversations, among other insights. Credit: Courtesy of AnthropicGiven the growing concern about AI use, including cognitive offloading and atrophy, the feature could offer users genuinely useful information.
Users get in-depth details about how they "collaborate" with Claude, plus practical suggestions for prompting the chatbot without providing repetitive information.
The tool also incorporates Anthropic's proprietary framework for AI use, which helps decide how to delegate to a chatbot and how to accurately assess its outputs.
What about sensitive data and chats?The insight reports do not incorporate incognito chats. It doesn't access files in connected tools, such as your email inbox or health data.
Reflection insights will cover sensitive conversations, such as discussions about mental health, but only at a high level. If Claude has previously shared mental health support resources during a chat, that information may appear in the dashboard as well.
Anthropic consulted independent experts to develop insights that would help people evaluate what works best about Claude for them.
Though Anthropic requires users to be 18 or older, Ryn Linthicum, Anthropic's head of well being policy, told Mashable that the company learned from youth developmental experts what tools could help young adults and parents of children better understand their AI use.
The reflection feature is in beta for free and paid subscribers with their chat memories turned on.

Both models combine printing, scanning, copying, and faxing with features like automatic two-sided printing, mobile controls and higher-yield ink designed to keep interruptions to a minimum.

Chinese regulatory filings, unearthed earlier this week, revealed that Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a significantly larger battery than its predecessor, suggesting a longer battery life as well.
This, however, may come at the expense of added thickness and weight.
Reliable Chinese leaker Ice Universe revealed the details in a post on Weibo.
"The iPhone 18 Pro Max's 5500mAh battery comes at the cost of a 240-gram weight and a 9mm thick body," he wrote.
Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max is 8.75mm thick and weighs 233 grams. If Ice Universe's numbers are accurate, the iPhone 18 Pro Max would be 0.25mm thicker and 7 grams heavier; a small difference, but still noticeable, especially on a device that's already pretty large and heavy.
MacRumors pointed out that, for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple has reportedly adopted a new type of vapor chamber that uses stainless steel, which could also make the phone heavier.
Notably, Apple's largest phone has shed some weight over the years, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max still holding the title of being the heaviest iPhone ever. Its weight is exactly 240 grams, so the iPhone 18 Pro Max might come in at a tie.
SEE ALSO: Foldable iPhone Ultra vs. iPad: How their screens (reportedly) compareThere's no word on the dimensions and weight of the iPhone 18 Pro. Its battery will reportedly only be a little larger than before, so perhaps there won't be a significant change in thickness and weight, either.
It's also worth noting that Apple is rumored to be launching the iPhone Ultra, alongside the Pro models, in September. That one is almost certainly going to be the heaviest new iPhone, thanks to its foldable design.
Another day, another bizarre Trump gaffe.
Following his attendance at the recent NATO summit, Trump – while speaking about ongoing tensions with Iran – appeared to get his countries mixed up, saying missiles had been fired at a US air carrier by "the Islamic Republic of Japan."
In the Daily Show clip above, host Ronnie Chieng shares his thoughts.
"Oh my God. We're losing the war with Iran so bad it converted Japan to Islam," jokes Chieng. "And I know it sounds stupid when Trump says it, but if someone told you the Islamic Republic of Japan was a new fusion restaurant in Bushwick, you f***ing hipsters would be lining up for it."
