"Just one minute is enough to understand why our generation fell in love with football. Demonic mind, divine feet. He turned the simplest moves into the most impossible art. Diego wasn't just the best – he was football itself." 🇦🇷

Spoke with @AbsaKomal about the raising of voting age to 25 and how the government was testing these waters only because it knew the depths of its own illegitimacy.

@izeeshaan3 It shouldn't be called a "progress report" when there is no progress at all.

[Zeeshan Shafi @izeeshaan3]

Pakistan Football Federation’s first-year progress report shows that Hafiz Zaka Ullah or Taha Ali Zai might have done a better job. At least, they would not have spent nearly eight months of the year abroad, and could have taken more responsibility in addressing Pakistan football’s ongoing issues and delivering more meaningful progress on the ground, including the appointments of the GS and TD. 😄

@PakPassion This analysis is as useless as the team's performance

Since emigrating to the #UnitedStates from #Pakistan nearly four decades ago, Bajwa has built his Bajco Group into a flourishing company alongside two brothers and other family members, with interests in construction and accounting, along with its 300 #PapaJohn’s locations.

Professor Rayaz Malik at Weill Cornell Medicine–Qatar has developed a 2–3 minute eye scan that uses AI to analyse nerve fibres.

It can detect dementia at least three years before symptoms and diabetic neuropathy up to five years earlier, allowing early intervention.

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures across bases or sites used by the U.S. military since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Post analysis of satellite imagery.

The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.

For this examination, The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet, a major U.S. commercial provider, when available.

A military spokesperson disputed the characterization of base damage by experts as extensive or evidence of failures, saying assessments of destruction are complex and can be misleading in some cases, but declined to provide specifics.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

This is the kind of arrogance one sometimes develops when they derive their legitimacy from the electorate, based upon a lifetime of service.

It isn’t something you inherit through generations of autocratic nepotism disguised within a democra-

“The PAF’s performance in the first phase of the conflict was genuinely remarkable,” he said. “It displayed both coherence and escalation discipline. However, later BrahMos strikes on airbases depicted gaps in ground air defences.” https://t.co/NyeBATcpZW

all those who in Pakistan who say "cricket is not played on a laptop" are going to have a brain explosion on reading this.

Using a combination of ball tracking, shot data, and biomechanics for the first time, I try to illuminate the methods and dynamics behind Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Was great fun writing this, first time delving into batting technique.

100% agreed. everyone has an opinion but express it respectfully.

CBA is a vile YouTuber and a digital bhand masquerading as a cricket expert with laughably poor analysis. The perfect example of a parha likha jaahil.

[Khowaja Obaid Ilyas @koi1]

and what sinfully boring cricket is being played after that 124 day gap. not one world class player amongst the 22 playing. the focus needs to be on quality not quantity. #PAKvsBAN #TestCricket

[Wisden @WisdenCricket]

Pakistan and Bangladesh facing off in Mirpur marks the end of a 124-day gap between the starts of two consecutive men’s Test matches.

Outside of Covid-19 and men's ODI World Cups, there has not been a longer gap in over 50 years.

@ovshake42 wonders what it means for the format.

Welcome to the one-year anniversary of this gem:

[Khowaja Obaid Ilyas @koi1]

@faizanlakhani words fail me to describe what level of nonsense this is. no sport in Pakistan has a defined pathway. and where else in this world do we see this method of identifying talent. as usual we are reinventing the wheel. PSB is making a mockery out of the dreams of young people.
