“Alexis Mac Allister is the first player in FIFA World Cup history to go 13 consecutive matches without suffering a defeat.”

True

Alexis Mac Allister's 13-match unbeaten run at the FIFA World Cup — 11 wins and 2 draws across the 2022 and 2026 tournaments — is confirmed as a historical record by multiple outlets citing Opta statistics. His streak extended past the previous 12-match ceiling when Argentina defeated England in the July 15, 2026 semifinal, making him the sole holder of the record.

“Argentina's 2024–2025 macroeconomic stabilization program was based on a 'zero money issuance' ("emisión cero") policy.”

Mostly True

The evidence shows “emisión cero” was a central monetary pillar of Argentina’s 2024–2025 stabilization program. Official BCRA and Economy Ministry materials, along with credible outside analyses, consistently describe the plan that way. The key caveat is that this did not mean an absolute halt to all money creation; it mainly referred to stopping monetary financing of the Treasury within a broader stabilization package.

“Stormwater drainage channels in Chilecito, La Rioja Province, Argentina are clogged with garbage, creating an imminent flood risk for families living in precarious settlements.”

False

Reports from Chilecito support that heavy rains caused flooding and damage, but they do not show that local stormwater channels are clogged with garbage or that this is creating an imminent flood risk for families in precarious settlements. The strongest location-specific sources attribute impacts to intense rainfall and overflow, while the garbage-clogging evidence comes from other places.
