SOUTH AMERICAN titans Argentina and Colombia rekindle their rivalry as they dispute a ticket to the semifinals of the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup on Monday at the PhilSports Arena.

The world No. 6 Argentines go into the marquee quarterfinal duel at 6 p.m. with the momentum of a spotless three-game run in Group A capped by a 5-1 verdict over host Philippines.

The Albiceleste were among the first to clinch a Last-8 ticket early after victories over Morocco, 6-0, and Poland, 3-2.

On the other hand the No. 8 Colombians split their first two assignments in Group B then banked on a 4-1 win over Thailand to claim the second and last quarters slot.

“They’re a very good team, they finished first in their group. And it’s going to be a heated match, because we’re two very strong South American teams,” Colombia winger Nicole Mancilla said of the Argentines.

“It’s a final,” Colombia fixo Merlin Salcedo said in highlighting the enormity of this showdown. “It will be about who makes fewer mistakes, who shows the most heart. We’ll have to give it everything.”

Also seeking to advance to the semis of the inaugural showpiece for women’s futsal supported by the Philippine Sports Commission and Philippine Football Federation are Spain and Morocco.

The 8:30 p.m. pairing pits a traditional power in the No. 2 Spaniards, the Group B topnotcher, and a fast-rising side in the 31st Moroccans, Group A’s runner-up.

La Roja, a three-time Euro champion, breezed to the quarters with a 3-0 sweep of their group while the Atlas Lionesses, winner of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, had to beat the Filipina5, 3-2, and Poland, 1-0, to catch the bus to quarters as Group A No. 2.

Meanwhile, the Last 8 continues on Tuesday with Group D ruler and world No. 1 Brazil taking on Group C No. 2 Japan and Group C supremo Portugal facing Group D No. 2 Italy.

The semifinal matches are set for Friday. — Olmin Leyba

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
