Ownership & classification

Independent

Founded: 2007

Ownership

tportal (tportal.hr) is a leading Croatian news and entertainment web portal run by Hrvatski Telekom (HT), the country's largest telecoms operator. HT's majority shareholder is Germany's Deutsche Telekom, which holds roughly 53-54% of the company; the Croatian state and institutional investors hold the remaining shares. The portal is thus a corporate property of a publicly listed, foreign-majority-owned telecoms group rather than of a media family or political actor.

Funding

Financed commercially through online advertising and cross-subsidy from its corporate parent Hrvatski Telekom; it is not a paywalled subscription product and receives no party or direct state media budget.

Affiliation & stance

tportal maintains a broadly mainstream, centrist editorial line with no overt party allegiance. Although its owner Hrvatski Telekom is partly state-held and majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom (itself part German-state-owned), the portal operates as a commercial product without party or government editorial control, so it is best classified INDEPENDENT (commercial) rather than a state broadcaster, while noting the telecom-conglomerate ownership.

Cold shower from northern Europe: Clean penalty! Many missed what Vlasic did before that

The Croatian national football team suffered a dramatic and painful 2-1 defeat to Portugal in the Round of 16 at the World Cup. The match was marked by numerous controversies and controversial decisions, including disallowed goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Petar Sučić due to freezing conditions, as well as a controversial goal by Gvardiol that was later overturned after VAR review. One of the most contentious moments was a penalty awarded to Portugal following an incident involving Ronaldo. Norwegian referee Espen Eskås initially did not show a yellow card after a challenge by Nikola Vlašić on Gabriel Veiga, but after a call from VAR and reviewing footage, he changed his decision, citing that Vlašić had prevented the Portuguese attacker from reaching the ball. This decision sparked outrage among Croatian fans. However, a Swedish referee analyst from the Referee Channel, Victor, argued that Portugal was justified in receiving the penalty. He explained that many viewers focused only on the handball and missed key details, such as Vlašić hitting the attacker in the face and using his legs to bring him down. Victor concluded that Vlašić committed three fouls in one action and deserved a

An American gets the maximum amount of recovery time at Wimbledon.

The article discusses the scheduling of the first-round doubles match at Wimbledon involving American tennis player Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams against the Argentine-Colombian pair Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio. The match was initially scheduled for Thursday and Friday but has been postponed due to Serena's injury during her singles match. Tournament organizer Andy Murray (likely a misstatement, as Andy Murray is a British player, and the correct name might be someone like Ashley Barker or another official) stated they are giving Serena as much time as possible to recover. They ruled out postponing the match to later dates unless necessary for safety or tournament flow. The match is expected to take place on a larger court to accommodate the large crowd attracted by Serena and Venus, who are major stars. Serena returned to professional tennis after four years, but she lost her first singles match and injured her knee. She did not attend a press conference afterward due to health reasons and expressed her commitment to participating in the doubles event. Serena and Venus have won six doubles titles together, including a title in 2016.

Josip Šimunić after a sleepless night even harder: I suggest Kustić and HNS...

Josip Šimunić, current president of NK Rudeš, who is currently in Mississauga, Canada, where his wife is from, has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the outcome of Croatia's recent World Cup matches against Panama and Portugal. After Croatia's win over Panama, Šimunić was satisfied with their performance despite playing poorly. However, he was deeply upset by the loss to Portugal, where Croatia played at their highest level but lost due to a controversial VAR decision involving a handball by Croatian player Dominik Matanović. Šimunić criticized FIFA and the VAR system for causing harm to Croatian football and the nation, pointing out the inconsistency in the technology's application during the match. He urged referee Espen Eskas and the Croatian Football Association (HNS) to demand compensation from FIFA for the damage caused, suggesting that the financial support could help improve Croatia's infrastructure. Šimunić argued that Croatia's potential had been stifled by such decisions, referencing past successes at the World Cup.

Posljednji sraz nogometnih ikona: Za jednog od njih to bi mogao biti kraj karijere

The article discusses an upcoming match between Croatia and Portugal in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup, highlighting it as a significant encounter between two teams with strong historical ties and featuring two legendary players nearing the end of their careers: Luka Modrić and Cristiano Ronaldo. Modrić, now a free agent after his contract ended, may retire from international football after this tournament, while Ronaldo, at 41 years old, continues playing in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League. The article notes Ronaldo’s goal-scoring record across six World Cups and mentions his performance in previous matches, including two goals against Uzbekistan but fewer contributions against Congo and Colombia. Meanwhile, Modrić contributed an assist in Croatia’s win over Ghana, advancing them to the knockout stage. The match is expected to showcase contrasting styles of play, with Portugal relying on attacking flair and Croatia potentially using a more centralized attack supported by midfield strength.

Here's what a famous Spanish referee had to say about Guardiola's nullified goal

During the dramatic quarter-final match of the World Cup between Croatia and Argentina, a controversial goal by Josko Gvardiol was disallowed due to a subtle handball by Croatian player Igor Matanović. The incident occurred in the 13th minute when Matanović barely touched the ball with his head, which was detected by the embedded chip in the ball. This led to the goal being nullified because the Croatian player was in an offside position at the moment of contact. Spanish referee Iturralde González explained that modern technology, including the chip in the ball, has eliminated human error in such decisions. He emphasized that the system automatically draws lines and determines offside positions, removing the need for manual intervention by referees. Despite this, the final decision to disallow the goal was made by Norwegian referee Espen Eskås. González clarified that the Portuguese defender Renato Veiga's subsequent touch did not negate the offside call, as it was considered an accidental deflection rather than an intentional kick.

Inflation in the euro area eased in June

The inflation rate in the Eurozone slowed down in June, according to preliminary calculations by the European Statistical Office. The annual inflation rate measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) was 2.8% in June, down from 3.2% in May, which was the highest since September 2023. This decline came after three months of accelerated price increases linked to rising energy costs due to the war in Iran and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. Energy prices rose by 8.7% compared to the same period last year in June, but this was significantly lower than the 10.8% increase seen in May and April. Fresh food and services also saw price increases of 3.2% compared to last year. Excluding energy and fresh food, the inflation rate in June was 2.2%, according to Eurostat calculations. On a monthly basis, prices fell slightly by 0.1% in June, marking the first decrease since the start of the year.

Mayor of London to Sarajevo: 'Hate comes when people are not safe, and then someone comes along and tells a lie and it spreads'

London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, visited Sarajevo and Srebrenica as part of his efforts to address rising hatred and discrimination. During his visit to Sarajevo, he met with local leaders including the president of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Presidency, the city's mayor, and the head of the Sarajevo Canton. In Srebrenica, he paid tribute to the victims of the 1995 genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces against Bosniaks. In an interview with Klix, Khan expressed deep concern over the spread of hate and dehumanization based on ethnicity or religion, warning that such attitudes can lead to violence and even genocide. He emphasized the importance of mutual understanding to combat prejudice, stating that fear leads to hatred when people are uncertain and someone spreads falsehoods. British ambassador Julian Reilly praised Khan’s visit as a strong message of support for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty and multiculturalism.

In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.

The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño.
