🚨Declan Rice Defends Tuchel and Hails Messi: "He Was Pure Football Genius
🗣️Declan Rice
I don't want to hear people blaming the manager because that's completely unfair. Thomas Tuchel gave us everything we needed to win this match. The preparation was outstanding, the tactics were spot on, and every single player knew their job. As players, we're the ones on the pitch, not the manager. He can't control moments of individual brilliance, and unfortunately we came up against the greatest player of this generation.
Lionel Messi was the difference. We tried to limit his influence, we stayed disciplined, we closed the spaces, but he still found a way. That's what separates him from everyone else. His vision, his first touch, his passing, the way he reads the game it's like he's always two or three steps ahead. You can spend an entire week preparing for him, and he'll still produce one moment that changes everything. That's why so many people call him the greatest footballer to ever play the game.
We're hurting because we dreamed of reaching the World Cup final, but this defeat isn't on Thomas Tuchel. He put us in the best possible position to win. Sometimes you simply have to accept that you've been beaten by a player whose talent is beyond ordinary. Messi inspired Argentina when it mattered most, and that's why they're going to the final. We have to accept it, learn from it, and come back stronger.
A former Japanese official who was personally involved in the Mumbai Ahmedabad Shinkansen project has expressed deep anguish over its setbacks.
He criticises the Indian side’s repeated recklessness, breaking promises, flipping positions at the last minute, and prioritising self interest till the end.
He notes that even the minister in charge was particularly difficult, making decent negotiations nearly impossible.
Despite Japanese teams pouring their hearts into the project, he is 100% convinced that the lack of progress is entirely on the Indian side.
Prime Minister Takaichi’s recent visit also yielded no breakthrough. Japan has now been excluded from the signal system, the critical safety backbone, according to Toyo Keizai Online.
This is profoundly disappointing for a flagship India Japan collaboration. Reliable execution and keeping commitments are essential if we want such high impact infrastructure projects to succeed.
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

If Argentina win tonight, the two people in this photo will face off in the World Cup Final 19 years later.
What are the odds that:
> Baby wins a raffle to get a pic with Messi
> Baby grows up to be a generational talent
> Baby becomes third youngest player to ever start a World Cup final
> Messi remains so great that he would be the oldest outfield player to ever start a final
> Both of their teams beat the odds of reaching a final in the same tournament
The odds of this happening are impossibly small.
And yet we're one game away.
The same year that photo was taken, Messi featured in an Adidas campaign about being too small to make it. The slogan:
"Impossible is Nothing."
A part of Kala Ghoda, with redesigned streets, improved lighting, open-air café seating and landscaped public spaces was inaugurated by CM Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday morning. The first phase covers five roads in the area. Every Saturday and Sunday from 6 pm to midnight, these streets will be vehicle-free and open exclusively to pedestrians.
This Full Interview of @MeghaSPrasad ji with @nitin_gadkari ji is just amazing.
I remember this quote - You cannot wake a person who is pretending to be asleep 🙏🙏
Salute to courage of Megha ji. She raised all our questions. Every single one.
After a long time, watching some real journalism. Hats off Megha ji. I am your fan.
Every timeline must watch this full interview. Request my audience to watch fully and share.
I honestly hope that our Government keeps ego aside and provides E10 at a good rate, and slowly and steadily moves to E20 in 2030 (as planned) !!!

Jai Jagannath🙏
May His blessings bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to everyone.
I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.
This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.
Let me tell you what actually happened.
The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.
381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.
India sent five kids.
All five came back with gold.
Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.
We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)
That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.
Now here is what the exam actually was.
Two papers. Each five hours long.
The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.
The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.
That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.
Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.
HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.
Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.
Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.
In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.
Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.
Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.
So who built this.
The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.
They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.
The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.
The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.
Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.
This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.
The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.
That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.
But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.
That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.
So yes, be proud. Loudly.
HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.
But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.
I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.
But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.
Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

Shame on @CMOMaharashtra if he doesn’t act. This chap is daring to defend his behaviour. Perhaps courts should initiative suo moto action! It will keep the politics out!! Remember these goons forced a hospital run by #Raymond to shut down after similar vandalism! The entire community lost a good hospital in Thane!!
🗣️ Thierry Henry sobre Leo Messi:
“Primero mírenlo llorar. Eso muestra cuánto significa para él. Nos recuerda que es humano… y enseguida vuelve a demostrarnos que no lo parece.”
“No despierten a la bestia que lleva dentro. Lo viví en los entrenamientos: si sentía una injusticia, cambiaba la mirada, agarraba la pelota y te hacía tres goles seguidos. Después se daba vuelta y decía: ‘La próxima vez cobrá la falta’.”
*“Cuando su equipo más lo necesita, eleva su nivel como muy pocos. Venía de jugar 120 minutos y aun así tomó la pelota, encaró a todos e intentó cambiar el partido. Es simplemente increíble.” 🐐
