SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JULY 06: Matt Freese #24 of the United States shows dejection after the team’s 1-4 defeat in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match between USA and Belgium at Seattle Stadium on July 06, 2026 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images) Getty Images Monday night’s FIFA Men’s World Cup match had the potential to be the biggest in modern United States Men’s Soccer history. Playing on home soil with an experienced group that looked relatively impressive in the tournament, the U.S. faced Belgium with a chance to advance to the quarterfinal round for the first time since 2002. And yet, much like the last time the U.S. played Belgium with a quarterfinal birth on the line (back in 2014), they lost. Yet in 2026, the defeat is accompanied by a far larger existential crisis about the state of the United States men’s soccer program as a whole. Mo

It was the first men’s World Cup on U.S. soil since 1994, the culmination of unprecedented investment in player development and the national team. Instead, it ended with a sobering reminder of how far the U.S. still has to go. Belgium’s emphatic 4-1 victory against the U.S. in Seattle on Monday was more than a round of 16 defeat. It was the end of what should have been a defining tournament for American soccer — and one that ultimately became a misse

The post New EU car rules bring driver-facing cameras, and higher costs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The European Union (EU) road safety drive just shifted into top gear as regulations in the bloc have evolved to the point where, as of today, July 7, every new car and van registered in the EU must ship with an infrared camera permanently directed at the driver’s face.  A standoff is now brewing as the EU’s explanation that the new update is its solution to drastically bring down road accidents has proven insufficient for critics, who insist that the privacy and extra expense tradeoff is a bad deal for drivers. While that drama plays out, motorists in any of the 27 member states where the new rule applies have to make choices, and none are comfortable.  Option A: Take a vehicle that studies your eyes, blinks, and gaze every time the engine runs. Option B: Hold on to an older car where the new infrared camera rules don’t apply. For drivers on the safety lane, Tesla’s Full Self-Dr

The post Looking for a New Crypto Exchange Because of MiCA? Switch to a Hardware Wallet Instead and Get Free BTC with a New Ledger appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) cryptocurrency regulation has come into full effect as of July 1, causing quite a bit of commotion among Europe-based crypto users.  Exchanges who were not able to fully comply with MiCA by the July 1 deadline have been forced to stop offering their services in the EU. The most notable example is Binance, a crypto industry titan that has over 300 million registered users across the globe.  European users on these exchanges are now scrambling to find a new home for their crypto assets, and MiCA-compliant exchanges like OKX and Coinbase are enticing users who are looking to migrate their funds with deposit bonuses and other promotions. Meanwhile, hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is going with a different approach, taking this opportunity to urge users to rethink if th
