Australians slam ban on World Cup screenings at Federation Square | World Cup 2026 News

0

Matches from the World Cup 2026 will not be screened after poor fan behaviour at previous public watch parties in 2023.

Football players, fans and officials in Australia have criticised the ban on World Cup match screenings at Melbourne’s Federation Square due to poor fan behaviour during Australia’s games in past tournaments.

The venue’s management said on Wednesday that the public square will not show any World Cup matches ⁠on its big screen ⁠for the first time in at least 20 years.

Hundreds of thousands of fans ⁠have gathered in the heart of Melbourne’s central business district to watch Australia matches at the square since the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Video of fans celebrating wildly went viral during ⁠the 2022 tournament in Qatar when Australia advanced to the round of 16.

A number of incidents soured the celebrations, though, with fans being injured by flares and projectiles.

Fans stormed barricades during the 2023 Women’s World Cup semifinal between Australia and England, prompting management to cancel plans to screen the ‌Matildas’ subsequent third-place playoff at the square.

“After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision not to show the World Cup on Fed Square’s Big Screen this year,” Melbourne Arts Precinct Director and CEO Katrina Sedgwick said in a statement.

“This is due to the behaviour of a small number of people at previous screenings which was simply unacceptable and damaging to Fed Square.”

The decision triggered a furious response from Australian football players, officials and a fan group, who said the majority of well-behaved supporters ⁠were being made to pay by a tiny minority.

“The pictures and videos of Fed Square during World Cup 2022 went viral around the world, we want to see this repeated,” Patrick Clancy, chair of the Football Supporters Association Australia, ⁠told local media.

Football Australia said they were extremely disappointed and urged the Melbourne Arts Precinct to reverse its decision.

“Melbourne is one of Australia’s ⁠sporting and multicultural capitals, and this decision goes against this ⁠tradition,” Football Australia CEO Martin Kugeler said.

“Federation Square has created some of the most memorable moments in Australian sporting history, dating back to the Socceroos’ historic 2006 FIFA World Cup matches and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“We are ‌asking our fans to join us in calling on the Melbourne Arts Precinct and the Victorian government to correct their decision in the best interests of football fans, local businesses and ‌all ‌Victorians.”

Australian women’s team captain Sam Kerr condemned the decision, writing in response to the decision on her social media account, “booooooooo”.

Australia play Turkiye, Paraguay and the United States at the June 11 to July 19 World Cup.

NASCAR’s viral star Natalie Decker has a new nicotine pouch deal and truck to drive, Topanga turns 45 & more


Two weeks after finding a ride for the Talladega O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race, TikTok and Instagram star Natalie Decker broke news Tuesday that she’s found a truck to drive for this upcoming weekend’s truck race at Watkins Glen. This will be the first time since 2020 that she’s raced in the truck series.

Add in a new nicotine pouch deal that Decker, 28, promoted on Monday and it’s turning into a massive moment for one of the most recognizable female names in racing. Oh, and she found a Maryland-based bagel and brunch restaurant to sponsor her ride in Watkins Glen and at Dover on May 15.

Just when it looked like Decker’s 15 minutes of fame were over in racing, she’s BACK. After completing her two-race deal with the bagel shop, Decker will have raced four times this year, which is the most action she’s seen behind the wheel since 2021.

Quick hitters of things that are on my mind this morning

• Be honest, do you find yourself slipping and turning on Screamin’ A. Smith to see what he has to say on a topic? I get that Screencaps readers aren’t the targeted demo outside of anything Mike Greenberg appears on, but, still, it feels like ESPN would be MTV if it didn’t have football.

• My Reds are in big trouble. They went on the road against the NL Central and have now lost five straight, the closer is out with a torn hamstring and the bats have quieted down. If there’s anything positive to report, it’s that they’re still four games over .500 and the Astros (6-13 on the road) are coming to town over Mother’s Day weekend.

• Did you guys see we’re closing in on a 24-team CFB playoff? I don’t know where this all goes other than the destruction of mid-majors because I can guarantee you they WILL NOT be invited to a made-for-TV playoff where ratings are on the line. We’re heading for two conferences – B1G & SEC – and NFL-like programming where you’ll have Michigan playing Alabama in the middle of the season or Ohio State on the road to Ole Miss on October 28. SEC teams will still play SEC teams, but there will be cross-overs. It’s coming guys. The TV dollars would be too high for these schools to pass up.

• I think the track season ends tonight. Thank God. I really enjoy watching Screencaps Jr. and his buddies compete, but there are something like 200 kids on his school’s boys and girls teams. These meets are taking 4 to 4 1/2 hours. I’m not kidding. Monday night, the event started at 4:30 and ended after 8:30 and we had a 40-minute drive home. Give me cross country season over this hell that I’m living.

ARE PEOPLE WHO PARK ON STREETS FACING THE WRONG WAY THE WORST PEOPLE ON EARTH?

E-bikes and Costner movies

– Chris W. in California writes: Reading your article about e-bikes brought to mind two recent events that have been in the news here in the land of the overtaxed involving e-bikes and the like, both of which give me at least a small glimmer of hope for this Godforsaken state.

The first involves an idiot teen that killed a Vietnam vet while doing dumb shit on a way overpowered e-bike.  Apparently the teen and the mother who allowed him to operate the bike had been warned in the past and as such the Orange County D.A. is coming down hard on both of them, throwing everything possible in the book at not only the teen but most importantly the mother, holding her responsible for her son’s negligence.

The second involves a bike, motorcycle, ATV (?) takeover of the Bay Bridge up North.  The CHP and local PDs  became aware of what was going on and closed off both ends of the bridge effectively trapping all the dumbasses.  A bunch of them ran off, a few of them tried to jump in the water and all of the vehicles were confiscated and impounded.

It’s wonderful to see some law and order meted out!  Since the first incident took place in Orange County, where they tend to actually try to enforce the law the D.A.’s actions aren’t as surprising, but the fact that law enforcement was actually able to do their job up in the area that Newscum drove into the ground before he started doing the same to the state offers the smallest bit of light in the eternal darkness that idiot has cast across the Golden State.

Also, a few days ago one of your readers chimed in with his top 5 Kevin Costner movies.  I’m surprised this didn’t cause more discourse.  Here’s my take:

  1.  Silverado (Costner is super young and has this batshit crazy energy, plus this is one of the best Western’s of all time.)
  2.   The Untouchables.
  3. Field of Dreams
  4. Bull Durham
  5. J.F.K.

Screencaps reader retires from his job, but his role of being a dad will never end

– Doug in Mason shares his story: First time, long time.  I found Outkick at the beginning of the PLANdemic as I was sick and tired of the woke bs on ESPN.  Been a fan ever since.  SC is a daily must.  You gave me something to look forward to at lunch when I was working my 8-5 job.  I have been retired for about a month after working 32 years at a lighting manufacturer and it continues to be a must read.  And no, I am not bored!  Far from it and that’s why I’m writing.  

Regarding Do Hard Things, not sure if I have seen this subject come up, but I was wondering if there are any fellow SC’ers who are caretakers for their special needs sons or daughters?  My wife had twins (boy/girl) in 2004, and they were delivered 3 months premature.  Olivia had a few minor issues and was in the NICU for about 2 months.  Today she is a happy, healthy college graduate (Go Bearcats!) and will be a high school teacher in the fall. (Our oldest son is in medical school at OSU).  But Joey wasn’t so lucky.  He had a LOT of issues and was in the NICU for 5 months.  With help from some doctor errors (won’t bore you with the long story), Joey was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and does not walk or talk and is confined to a wheelchair.  Our entire life turned upside down.  

My wife and I have been his 24/7 caretakers for 22 years now.  My wife could be an RN at this point.  She is the CEO of Joey.  Taking care of him is not for the faint of heart.  But through the blood, sweat and (many) tears, he is a survivor—and so are we!  There are no off days.  When we’re sick–too bad—we still have Joey to take care of.   He loves TV and has his favorite animated shows he watches daily.  But our saving grace is that he loves watching football.  Notre Dame on Saturdays and Bengals on Sundays.  But really, his face lights up when ANY football game is on.  On Football Saturdays it’s GameDay and Big Noon Kickoff.  He will watch the Combine and the Draft from beginning to end. Wish he was a Reds fan like his dad, but for some reason, he grunts when I turn baseball on and wants me to change the channel!

NFL’S PUSH FOR GROWTH IS INEXORABLE AT EXPENSE OF FANS AND AMID AN ‘EXISTENTIAL THREAT’

Now that I’m retired, Joe and I go on daily walks and I take him on my trips to Costco, Kroger and wherever the day takes us.  We go to family parties and weddings but it’s a challenge.  My wife works from home so having me home is a huge burden lifted off her shoulders.  We have taken Joe with us on our annual vacations, but now it’s getting to be too much as we age so we need to start looking at respite care facilities.  The point of this long gospel—being a caretaker is the epitome of ‘doing hard things.’  IYKYK.   But I can’t stress this enough– the smile on Joey’s face when I walk through the door is worth all the drama.  Can’t imagine life without him.   So–are there other SC fans out there who are in similar situations?  

Kinsey: I cannot stress enough how grounding this column can be for me. Working on the Internet can be a very odd place where there are days people will scream at me over and over and over via email and then along comes a message like this from Doug.

It resets my brain to remember that there’s a real world out there where people are dealing with bigger issues than I’ve ever had to deal with. There are people with real struggles who have to get out of bed every single day to handle what Doug and his wife tackle.

MORNING GLORY: LEGACY MEDIA DIDN’T LOSE READERS, IT DROVE THEM AWAY

These people are what I consider to be the backbone of this country.

NBA championship question

– Jase wants to know: Of the teams that are left, who do you like to play for and win the NBA Championship?

Kinsey: If you remember, I’m on record saying how much I respect the way the Detroit Pistons play the game. I think it was November when I wrote about the topic. But, that said, I have a very long-standing tradition of NOT watching the NBA until mid-May. It’s not mid-May, so I haven’t watched more than 5-10 minutes of the playoffs and that was pretty much on accident when I hit the wrong YouTube TV button. Give me the Pistons.

That is it this morning. Enjoy those marathon track meets. Enjoy those baseball games. The sun is out and life goes on for another day, at least. Let’s go make the most of it.

MuddyWater hackers use Chaos ransomware as a decoy in attacks


MuddyWater hackers use Chaos ransomware as a decoy in attacks

The MuddyWater Iranian hackers disguised their operations as a Chaos ransomware attack, relying on  Microsoft Teams social engineering to gain access and establish persistence.

Although the attack involved credential theft, persistence, remote access, data exfiltration, extortion emails, and an entry on the Chaos leak portal, the attackers used infrastructure and techniques associated with the MuddyWater attacks.

Rapid7 researchers believe that the ransomware component was likely used to conceal the actual cyber-espionage operation and to complicate attribution.

“The strategy highlights the convergence between state-sponsored intrusion activity and criminal tradecraft, where a big “tell” lies in the techniques that were deployed – and those that weren’t. This strategy suggests the primary goal was not financial gain,” explains Rapid7.

Despite the facade, Rapid7 has moderate confidence in attributing the incident to MuddyWater, a threat group also known as Static Kitten, Mango Sandstorm, and Seedworm.

The conclusion is based on infrastructure overlap, a specific code-signing certificate that the state-sponsored group used to sign Stagecomp and Darkcomp malware attributed to the threat actor, and various operational tradecraft.

MuddyWater is an Iranian state-sponsored cyber-espionage group, notorious for long-term network intrusion campaigns that align with the country’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

The Chaos is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation that emerged in 2025 and is known for big-game hunting attacks, double-extortion tactics, and social engineering campaigns mostly targeting organizations in the United States.

Attack progression

The intrusion Rapid7 examined started through Microsoft Teams social engineering, where the attackers initiated chats with employees, established screen-sharing sessions, harvested credentials, manipulated multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings, and, in some cases, deployed AnyDesk for remote access.

Credential theft occurred either via phishing pages masquerading as Microsoft Quick Assist or by tricking victims into typing their passwords into local text files.

After compromising accounts, the attackers authenticated to internal systems, including a domain controller, and established persistence using RDP, DWAgent, and AnyDesk.

Next, they leveraged a malware loader (ms_upd.exe) to drop a custom backdoor (Game.exe), disguised as a Microsoft WebView2 application.

The malware features anti-analysis and anti-VM checks, and supports 12 commands, including PowerShell and CMD command execution, file upload and deletion, and persistent shell access.

Overview of the attack

Rapid7 notes that MuddyWater has used ransomware in the past to mask its cyber-espionage operations. In late 2025, the threat actor deployed Qilin ransomware in an attack against an Israeli organization.

The researchers suggest that the threat group might have pivoted to a different ransomware branding following the attribution of that late 2025 to MOIS operatives.

India Ratings lifts Syrma SGS to ‘IND AA’; stock hits 52-week high


India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) on Wednesday upgraded Syrma SGS Technology Limited’s long-term bank loan facilities rating to ‘IND AA’ with a Stable Outlook, from the previous ‘IND AA-‘. The short-term commercial paper rating was affirmed at ‘IND A1+’. The upgrade covers bank loan facilities worth ₹7,800 million and commercial paper of ₹1,100 million.

The rating action comes on the same day Syrma SGS stock touched a 52-week high of ₹1,075.95 on the NSE, closing at ₹1,059.35. The stock has returned over 130 per cent in the past year and nearly 47 per cent year-to-date, against a Nifty 500 return of negative 3.25 per cent over the same period. Total market capitalization stands at approximately ₹20,364 crore.

Ind-Ra cited sustained revenue growth and improving profitability as key drivers of the upgrade. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew 20 per cent year-on-year to ₹37,867 million in FY25 and a further 17 per cent year-on-year to ₹33,540 million in the first nine months of FY26. EBITDA margins improved sharply to 11.3 per cent in 9MFY26 from 6.8 per cent in the same period a year earlier.

The agency noted that Syrma SGS became net cash positive following a qualified institutional placement of approximately ₹10,000 million in August 2025, with proceeds used to repay debt. Net leverage stood at 1.0x in FY25.

The company has announced four major investments for expansion, including a ₹15,950 million plant for multi-layer printed circuit boards spread over six years, acquisition of a majority stake in Elcome Integrated Systems, and joint ventures with KSolare Energy and Italy-based Elemaster SPA. Ind-Ra said the spread-out nature of these investments, alongside strong internal cash accruals, would keep credit metrics comfortable.

Key risks flagged include the working capital-intensive nature of operations, dependence on imports for 60 per cent of materials exposing the company to forex risk, and execution risk around the large PCB plant.

Barn fires ravage farms nationwide — millions of animals pay the price



NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

On April 11, over 70 animals were killed in a New York barn fire, and it was far from the first incident of its kind this year. In just the first three months of 2026, nearly 120,000 farm animals perished in fires. Particularly on factory farms, large-scale disasters happen far too often — and thousands of animals are left with no escape from danger as smoke and flames ravage their crowded barns. These are preventable tragedies, but until we shift from reactive bailouts to proactive measures, we are only adding fuel to the fire.

The scale of the problem is evident. From 2013 to 2023, 6.8 million farm animals died in fires. In a single year, 2024, the tragic figure reached over 1.5 million, the highest total reported since 2020. While worker deaths due to barn fires are far less common, people are also at risk, as we saw in 2023, when a Texas dairy farm employee was killed along with 18,000 cows.

Yet in a profit-driven industry, there seems to be little incentive to address this issue, and while faulty electrical or heating equipment is sometimes found, the causes of many fires go unknown or unreported.

MINNESOTA DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY AS DISEASES CRIPPLE MIDWESTERN FARMS

On industrial farms, the deaths of animals before slaughter (such as in fires or natural disasters) are considered “property loss,” and owners can be reimbursed. However, it’s animals who pay the true price of the hazardous conditions in these operations. This January, a North Carolina fire resulted in an estimated $5 million in damage, but the most devastating cost was the deaths of at least 85,000 chickens. Just weeks later, a fire claimed the lives of 6,000 pigs in Ohio, prompting the local fire chief to state that there was “catastrophic damage to the business.”

It is the business of factory farming itself that creates a situation in which so many lives can be lost to a single disaster. On the Ohio farm mentioned above, for example, four out of five barns confined around 7,500 pigs each. Statewide, 47% of pigs are kept on farms with 5,000 or more animals, and the industry continues to intensify. As of 2022, the average number of pigs on Ohio farms is 850, a statistic that has been climbing for decades even as the total number of farms has decreased. 

Nationwide, from 2018 to 2021, 42,000 pigs fell victim to fires. When it comes to chickens, the toll is usually even more severe because factory farms house hundreds of thousands of birds. During the same three-year period, over 2.7 million chickens were killed. Even a single fire can cause many deaths, like in May 2024, when over 1 million birds died as fire raged through an Illinois “free-range” farm, prompting 20 fire departments to respond to the inferno.

Farm Sanctuary has seen firsthand the trauma left behind by fires, having rescued survivors like Phoenix. This resilient bird was saved after a New Jersey egg farm burned. Over 300,000 birds died — trapped despite the “cage-free” conditions in which they were kept.

In 2025, Ohio surpassed Iowa as the U.S. state with the most hens raised for egg production, at nearly 40 million birds. The state is also home to farms raising over 127 million chickens for meat. This is a recipe for disaster, and the February 2025 fire that killed 200,000 birds and drew first responders from six counties is not likely to be the last tragedy of its kind — in Ohio and elsewhere across the nation.

The West Coast fire season is soon to begin, and is expected to be severe as climate change creates extreme heat and drought. But it’s not too late to act.

Rather than giving bailouts in the wake of fires, proactive measures should be taken to fix a food system that fuels them. For animals and our planet, we must shift away from factory farming.
