By Braden Chalker Group B action continues at Copa America 2024 with Ecuador taking on Jamaica on Wednesday night. Ecuador collapsed in their opening Copa America contest last weekend at Levi's Stadium, falling 2-1 to Venezuela. Jeremy Sarmiento put Ecuador 1-0 up on the brink of halftime despite his side playing with 10 men due to Enner Valencia being sent off for a rash challenge earlier on in the match. Venezuela would go on to take advantage of having an additional player on the pitch in the second 45 with Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello getting on the scoresheet to propel their nation to t...

Volkswagen Beetle enthusiasts took part in a vehicle parade in Mexico City on Sunday (23 June) - a day after the car model's international day was celebrated. The Beetle, or 'Vocho' as it’s known in Mexico, may have been discontinued years ago, but restored and remade vintage models roll on in the Mexican capital, where they remain highly popular. In the northern neighborhood of Cuautepec, classic Beetles still line the streets - so much so that the area has been nicknamed 'Vocholandia.' For the residents of Cuautepec, these iconic cars are here to stay - for as long as physically possible.

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...

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...

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...
