Soccer World Cup Championship in Qatar

Messi hailed as the greatest ever: "Slightly taken"  

 

The World Cup final between France and Argentina is being hailed as "the best final ever" in the TV4 studio after the dramatic penalty shoot-out that ended 3-3 after 120 minutes played.  

 

France's Kylian Mbappé, but especially Argentina's Lionel Messi, are praised. The former national team player Kim Källström says that "everyone did everything" so that the 35-year-old would not be able to crown his career with the only trophy he was missing. No one could have written a better ending, he says of the two-goal scorer. 

 

- You are a bit taken.  

 

Henok Goitom says that with the title, Messi also gets another title. 

 

- He is "the greatest of all time".

The 2024 US election  

Task: The Democrats are developing a campaign in secret 

 

Joe Biden's staff is preparing a media strategy for the 2024 presidential election with a focus on newer platforms, where it is reviewing the possibility of getting more influencers to publish material in support of the current president. This is stated by party sources for the Washington Post.  

 

With the new strategy, they also want to find ways to reach voters where direct advertising is not possible. According to WP, the strategy is designed in secret based on analyzes of a number of senate campaigns in the autumn midterm elections.  

 

According to party sources, the new options are not supposed to replace traditional campaigns, but rather are a way to reach voters who spend a lot of time on, for example, Tiktok and Whatsapp.  

 

Biden is believed to be running for another term but has yet to officially announce a candidacy.
