By Amanda Langell The battle for Group B at Copa America 2024 begins this weekend as Mexico take on Jamaica for the 33rd time in history. Of the four Copa America groups, Group B, featuring Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Jamaica, is the hardest to predict. With tournament giants Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay split among the remaining groups, all four Group B sides have a chance to advance to the Knockout Stage. Mexico, though, are the early favorites to finish first. Despite El Tri's inconsistent year and recent losses to Uruguay and Brazil, Jaime Lozano's squad has the talent to make a run ...

Human-caused climate change made this month's killer heatwaves in Mexico, Central American and the US southwest even warmer and 35 times more likely, a new study has found. Sizzling daytime temperatures that triggered cases of heat stroke in parts of the United States were 1.4C hotter because of the warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, World Weather Attribution, a collection of scientists that run rapid and non-peer reviewed climate attribution studies, calculated on Thursday. “It's an oven here; you can't stay here,” says 82-year-old Margarita Salazar Pérez of Veracruz, Mexi...

By Amanda Langell Just one year after Mexico won the CONCACAF Gold Cup, El Tri are competing at Copa America 2024 with a young squad that does not include some of Mexico's most experienced players. The last few years have been full of highs and lows for Mexico. El Tri went from getting eliminated in the Group Stage of the 2022 World Cup to winning the Gold Cup the next year to losing the CONCACAF Nations League final just three months ago. Fortunately for Jaime Lozano's men, they have another opportunity for silverware this summer at Copa America 2024. Here's 90min's guide to Mexico at Copa Am...

Taxes are an inevitable, if somewhat unwanted part of most of our lives. Some of the most common taxes include income tax, dividend taxes, property taxes and sales taxes, amongst others. Several countries also levy taxes on things such as inheritance, long-term and short-term capital gains, as well as excise duties and insurance premiums. However, would you pay a junk food tax? What about a baby name tax? Or a tax on the number of times you flush the toilet? These and several more odd taxes might make you pause and draw the purse strings tight again. Below are some of the strangest taxes in th...

New York (AFP) - Two alleged leaders of the Mexican drug cartel La Nueva Familia Michoacana have been indicted on heroin trafficking charges in the United States, officials said Thursday. Rodolfo Maldonado-Bustos, 59, also known as "Don Jose," and Euclides Camacho-Goicochea, 51, aka "El Quilles," were indicted by a federal grand jury in Georgia, the Justice Department said in a statement. "These cartel members allegedly imported massive amounts of heroin from Mexico to the Atlanta area and elsewhere in the United States," said US Attorney Ryan Buchanan of the Northern District of Georgia.

On Sunday, June 2, Mexico elected Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo as the first woman president of Mexico with a coalition of leftist parties following the political line of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).

Los Angeles (AFP) - The US Justice Department on Tuesday accused Chinese "underground bankers" of helping Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel launder more than $50 million in drug trafficking proceeds. An indictment unsealed in California charged 24 defendants with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine and money laundering offenses. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief Anne Milgram said a multi-year investigation dubbed "Operation Fortune Runner" had "uncovered a partnership between Sinaloa Cartel associates and a Chinese criminal syndicate operating in Los Angeles and China to laund...

Mexican officials are once again criticizing Ceci Flores, who searches for the bodies of people who have disappeared and are presumed to have been kidnapped and murdered. She typically searches in areas known to be places where drug cartels dump bodies. The problem is that she is too successful in finding those bodies, undercutting the government's claims to be searching for them and its efforts to downplay the scope of violence and kidnapping in the country. After her latest find, prosecutors initially claimed she'd found dog bones before admitting she'd found human remains, but they then acc...

By Amanda Langell After losing the Concacaf Nations League final to the United States back in March, Mexico are eager to begin their Copa America 2024 campaign and hunt for more international glory. The last time Mexico competed in the Copa America, they suffered a devastating 7-0 defeat against the future tournament winners, Chile, in the quarter-finals of the Copa América Centenario. El Tri were not included in the 2019 edition of the tournament, and only CONMEBOL teams competed in the last Copa America. Copa America 2024, though, features six CONCACAF teams who successfully qualified for th...

By Amanda Langell The worst Copa America 2024 kits belong to both CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams that debuted boring, hectic, or just downright bizarre designs. As the days until the first match of the Copa America 2024 tournament slowly tick down, players are preparing to take the field wearing their country's badge on their chest. Although soccer remains the focus of the competition, each nation's kit always draws extra attention from viewers. Of course, not all designs can be as iconic as Argentina's white and blue stripes, but some of the 2024 Home kits are, let's just say, underwhelming. Her...
