   Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call.  So he proceded to score three more!   All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria.  It was spectacular.  But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.  KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride.    There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69.  We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode.    The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer.  The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference.    President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market.  Then he just hammers Obama.    JD Vance's book tour is not going well.  It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now.  The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner.    And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.

With the Ukraine war and the conflict in the Gulf, Algeria finds itself well placed to benefit economically. So Arab Digest editor William Law asked the North Africa and Western Mediterranean energy and security analyst Francis Ghilès to talk about how Algeria can exploit the opportunities and whether a country facing structural economic challenges can get past those challenges to realise the windfalls that wars in Europe and the Middle East are creating.

Tigran Grigoryan, director of the Center for Democracy and Security, a Yerevan-based think tank, argues that the road ahead for Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is fraught with risk. Pashinyan won by a wide margin in the June 7 election, but failed to clinch the super majority needed to push through peace with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Economic pressure from Russia is adding to his woes. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The World Cup is starting on June 11th with matches across the United States, Mexico and Canada. 104 matches will be played, with the majority in the 11 venues across the US. But as this week's openers get closer, chaos is spreading around visas, travel and the question of whether fans are even going to bother coming to the United States. Host cities like Kansas City, MO are relying on revenue from an increase in tourism to boost their local economies, with the city estimating 650,000 visitors over the next few weeks. Economists question whether the predictions on visitor count or economic impact will hold true as the Trump administration has instituted steep visa bonds for people from some countries, including Tunisia and Algeria, which will play in Kansas City.At the same time, the U.S. government has already forced the Iranian team to stay in Mexico, despite having its three games in June scheduled for Los Angeles and Seattle - requiring the team to travel across the border on game day. Customs and Border Protection also just denied entry to the only Somali referee, Omar Artan.Plus, we talk about Trump's appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals and the NYPD's response to a watch party in Bryant Park.Support the show

In Group I, featuring France, Norway, Senegal, and Iraq, we examine whether France can live up to its status as one of the tournament favorites and whether Norway or Senegal has the quality to make this one of the most competitive groups in the field. In Group J, we break down Argentina, Austria, Algeria, and Jordan. Can the defending South American giants cruise through the group, or could Austria or Algeria emerge as a legitimate threat to challenge for the top spot? We also analyze Group K, which includes Portugal, DR Congo, Colombia, and Uzbekistan. With Portugal and Colombia both carrying significant expectations, we discuss which side offers the best value and whether an underdog can disrupt the group hierarchy. Finally, we preview Group L, featuring England, Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. This group brings together tournament experience, emerging talent, and plenty of intriguing betting opportunities as teams battle for a place in the knockout rounds. As always, we focus on team strengths, weaknesses, qualification paths, futures markets, and potential dark horses to help you find the smartest bets before the World Cup begins.

In this episode, Alex examines the infamous "Disgrace of Gijón" from the 1982 World Cup in Spain and why it remains one of the most fascinating examples of game theory in sports. Alex explores how FIFA's tournament structure created incentives that made competition irrational once West Germany took an early lead against Austria, ultimately leaving Algeria as the victim of a flawed system. The discussion goes beyond soccer to explore what this controversial match can teach us about politics, institutions, and the unintended consequences of poorly designed incentives.

On January 1 this year, Mohammed Harbi died at the age of 92. Harbi was one of the leading historians of modern Algeria and the movement that led it towards independence. Harbi began writing about the Algerian revolution after taking part in it himself. Born under French colonial rule, Harbi became a member of the National Liberation Front in the 1950s. He was an adviser to Algeria's first president, Ahmed Ben Bella. But Harbi was sent to prison after Ben Bella was removed from power in a military coup. He later escaped from house arrest and went into exile. Harbi remained deeply engaged with political events inside the country, from the civil war of the 1990s to the hirak protest movement of the last decade. Muriam Haleh Davis joins Long Reads for a discussion of Harbi's life and work. Muriam is a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She's the author of Markets of Civilization: Islam and Racial Capitalism in Algeria. Read her obituary for Jacobin, “Mohammed Harbi Was Algeria's Revolutionary Historian”: https://jacobin.com/2026/02/mohammed-harbi-algeria-historian-obituary Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's writers.

The World Cup is eight days away and the pre-tournament window just delivered its biggest result. Algeria beat the Netherlands 1-0 in Rotterdam, with Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa scoring a stunning 86th-minute curler at his own club's stadium for his first international goal. Jason breaks down what it means for Algeria heading into Group J against Argentina, Austria, and Jordan, and why Argentine media was treating it as breaking news. Also on the show: Lamine Yamal's injury update ahead of Spain's opener, the DR Congo Ebola situation threatening their World Cup prep, Real Madrid's contested presidential election, and André Jardine parting ways with Club América after three Liga MX titles. Plus, Atlanta's World Cup history — how the city went from not having a seat at the table in 1994 to hosting a semifinal in 2026. The 3-4-3 covers the three oldest players in the tournament, four headlines, and three things making Jason smile, including Greenville Triumph opening their new stadium and Bank of America's free ticket program for veterans and first responders. Stoppage Time goes long on Atlanta United's transfer window, the state of the club since 2018, and the pure joy of what this World Cup moment means for soccer in this country.

After Barbary: Algeria's Roles in the French and American Empires (Cornell University Press, 2025) by Dr. Timothy Mason Roberts explores the connection between the United States and North Africa between the Barbary Wars of the early nineteenth century and the era of European decolonization after World War II. Dr. Roberts offers a new approach to the study of empires, highlighting the significance of Algeria in French-American relations from France's first occupation of the country through the first years of independence of the Republic of Algeria. As Dr. Roberts demonstrates, imperial authorities in Washington, DC; Paris; and Algiers rarely collaborated intentionally in institutional partnerships or alliances. Rather, American, French, and Algerian politicians, soldiers, writers, and revolutionaries—often acting at cross purposes and across political and cultural boundaries—sought power by imagining and constructing Algeria as a fissured, dynamic, transimperial space. Focusing on issues of settler colonialism, irregular warfare, racialized citizenship, territorial incorporation, and pan-African identity, After Barbary shows how French Algeria helped make the American and French empires. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode, we catch up with Helen Dainty — solo female cyclist, self-described "full-time global hobo," and one of the most committed long-distance bike travellers you'll ever meet. For the past decade, Helen has spent nine years on the road, travelling exclusively by bicycle and living on around £50 a week. She's cycled across Australia, ridden from London to Nordkapp and back, travelled extensively through the Middle East and North Africa — and in 2025 became the first woman to cycle across Libya. When war in Sudan forced her to abandon an overland route into East Africa, Helen adapted and rerouted — because that's what life on the road demands: flexibility, resilience, and the ability to trust the process. In this episode, we dive into what's happened since we last spoke in January 2022. From navigating complex visa systems (including Algeria and Libya), to travelling with police security details, being detained in Libya, and accepting incredible hospitality through the Warm Showers community — Helen shares the raw, practical realities of long-term cycle touring. We also talk about: The logistics of visas with a British passport Working with visa agents and last-minute plan changes Cycling in Algeria and Libya Budget travel (sticking to AUD $100 per week) Her bike setup — switching from chain to belt drive Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres and long-distance reliability Not collecting souvenirs and living with less Documenting her journey on YouTube (and the time spent editing!) Saying yes to unexpected opportunities Helen also opens up about going through perimenopause and menopause while cycling through deserts — dealing with extreme sadness, brain fog, hot sweats in the middle of the night, and coming out the other side feeling stronger and more balanced. At 47, she believes she has another strong decade of adventure ahead — and she's not slowing down. Looking forward, Helen plans to spend the next two years cycling down the west coast of Africa in an attempt to circle the continent, before eventually heading back towards Australia through Asia. Her advice for women wanting to do something different? Say yes to the opportunity — you can work out the details on the way. Accept without hesitation. Raw, honest, practical and deeply inspiring — this is a powerful catch-up with a woman who has built her entire life around two wheels. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!
