Below the Tides is partnering with local communities and young people to advance environmental protection through sustainable mangrove planting as part of the Mangroves Protect the Land Season 4 project at the Mangrove Forest School in Samut Songkhram province. Founded by environmental activists and siblings Arinchaya and Arisa Thongtaeng, Below the Tides continues driving change on the ground.

Most recently, the project returned to the Mangrove Forest School for Season 4 activities, bringing together student groups from local schools and working professionals as volunteers to plant mangroves and restore coastal ecosystems. Despite intense heat, volunteers remained committed to the cause.

This year's event marks the fourth consecutive year of Below the Tides' conservation work. The effort was graced by Phu Yai Daeng (Wisut Navamsiri), a former village headman and key figure in transforming eroded coastal land into the Mangrove Forest School. He also pioneered fish sauce production known locally as "mangrove rescue fish sauce." Community leaders welcomed the volunteers and updated them on environmental conditions.

Phu Yai Daeng expressed gratitude for the program's consistency, noting: "Though mangrove seedling survival rates may not reach one hundred percent, what truly matters is the 'heart' and 'dedication' of everyone returning year after year. This is the community's genuine driving force."

Mangrove forests represent nature's strongest yet most fragile defenses. Restoring fishing areas and coastlines enhances carbon sequestration, protects communities from erosion, and nurtures aquatic biodiversity. For Below the Tides, this annual event transcends tree planting—it creates lasting bonds between people and land, inspiring future generations to protect the environment.

Below the Tides thanks all students, working professionals, and community members who participated this season. The project continues advancing toward a greener, more sustainable future—one tree, one step at a time.

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said the encounter with Cape Verde demonstrated there are no easy matches in World Cup football, while praising his opponents' performance.

The defending champions were pushed to extra time after a 1-1 draw before securing a 3-2 victory in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 on July 3.

Argentina advanced to the Round of 16 to face Egypt on July 7 at 11 p.m. Thailand time.

After the match, Scaloni, who reached his 100th game in charge, said: "For those who said we had an easy draw, of course we deserved to win and advance, but it was an extremely difficult game."

"I want to congratulate our opponents. Today they showed they are an excellent team. When people say there are no easy games in the World Cup, it's the truth."

"The players finished exhausted. There are areas to improve, but they showed their strength. They were tired from extra time and had some cramping, but when they play with heart, they can overcome everything."

"I will discuss the negatives with the players, but we remain focused on the positives. What stands out most is this team never gives up. We conceded at convenient moments, but throughout the game we were determined to win."

Argentina captain Lionel Messi spoke candidly after his team's narrow 3-2 extra-time victory over Cape Verde in the round of 16 match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, emphasizing that no match is easy at this level. The defending champions required extra time to overcome Cape Verde, who were making their World Cup debut. With this victory, Argentina remains on track to defend their title and will next face Egypt in the round of 32.

Following the match, Messi discussed the team's performance: "This is what makes the World Cup special. Every team competes fiercely, every game is difficult. We gave everything we had, but we didn't show our best football." He added, "We knew this would be a tough match. In the World Cup, nothing comes for free. Now it's time to rest, learn from today, and focus on the next game. I want to congratulate Cape Verde on their excellent performance."

Messi also reflected on the match's tactical challenges: "Scoring the first goal was the hardest part. We thought it would help us control the game and play more calmly, but it was the opposite. At times we lost possession, retreated too deep, and couldn't press them as we wanted. They used their strengths and managed to equalize."

In this match, Messi set several World Cup records: he became the first player in history to score 20 goals in World Cup history, the first player to score in 8 consecutive World Cup matches, and the first player to score against 14 different national teams in World Cup history.
