José Mourinho on Hossam Hassan's claim that Argentina were favoured because of World Cup marketing:
🗣️ “When you lose a match after leading 2–0, the first analysis should be about your own team, not about conspiracies. As a coach, you must look at what you could have done better before pointing the finger elsewhere.
“I don't like these kinds of excuses. Saying the tournament is designed to favour one team or one player takes attention away from the football. If you believe you were treated unfairly, present the facts. If not, accept the result and move on.
“Football is decided by what happens on the pitch. If your team cannot protect a two-goal lead, that is where the discussion should begin. Managers must take responsibility, especially after painful defeats. That is part of the job.”
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate:
“Every week, every month, every year, somebody asks me the same question.”
🗣️ “‘Zlatan, who is the GOAT? Messi or Ronaldo?’”
🗣️ “Honestly? I get tired of hearing it.”
🗣️ “Not because they aren't great players. They are.”

🗣️ “Records everywhere.”
🗣️ “Cristiano created a legacy that may never be repeated.”
🗣️ “But then there is Lionel Messi.”
🗣️ “And this is where people get angry with me.”
🗣️ “Because for me, Messi is not normal.”
🗣️ “Cristiano mastered football.”
🗣️ “Messi became football.”
🗣️ “When I watch Messi, I don't see a player following the game.”
🗣️ “I see a player creating the game.”
🗣️ “The goals.”
🗣️ “The assists.”
🗣️ “The dribbling.”
🗣️ “The vision.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is a legend.”
🗣️ “A football icon.”
🗣️ “A player who changed history.”

🗣️ “One player for one match.”
🗣️ “One player for my life.”
🗣️ “One player to represent football itself.”
🗣️ “I choose Messi.”
🗣️ “Every time.”
🗣️ “Because goals can be broken.”

🐐🇦🇷⚽
🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in history.”
🗣️ “Lionel Messi is history.”
قبل الهدف الثالث في بداية المقطع تظهر دكة مصر مع مدربهم لحظة سقوط صلاح، الغريب مافيه ولا شخص بالدكة حتى عطى ردة فعل او احتج لكن بعد ما سجلت الأرجنتين يدورون اي شي يحتجون عليه😭😭
Alvarez wins the ball first, Salah gets nutmegged, ball is behind him, clatters his foot onto Alvarez as Alvarez is progressing play. Not a foul in a million years. Referee got it spot on. 💯
Hello My BMC
Do you really want to know why trees fall in Mumbai?
1- Excessive Trimming
That weakens trees
Year after year
2- Bottom trimming
That makes tree taller & top heavy
And ready to fall
3- Sucking away ground water for basement construction
Drying away the tree roots
Cape Verde's athleticism and mentality are the standout feature of their World Cup campaign. Unmatched intensity. Constant running in both directions, w/ goalkeeper with genuine pace. That level of sustained intensity is rarely seen and never matched by any other team here.
The last of our iconic singers from that golden era of music breathed her last yesterday 31st of May. She hailed from a Saraswat Brahmin family belonging to Hemmadi, a village in Kundapur Taluk of Udupi District, Karnataka. She started her career singing for Marathi movies. She entered Hindi cinema with the movie Mangu in 1954. In the same year she sang 5 songs for the movie Darwaza , which released first. May her soul attain Sadgati 🙏🙏🙏
“India is no longer struggling to attract tourists… it is now struggling to handle the crowd.
From mountains to beaches, every tourist destination is packed. People spend more time stuck in traffic than actually enjoying the journey.
This scene from Sikkim’s Zero Point is not an exception anymore it’s becoming the new normal across India.”
A male bee mates for less than 5 seconds in midair. The ejaculation is so explosive you can hear it pop from a few feet away. His body rips in half. He falls dead before hitting the ground. And he is one of the lucky males in the hive.
When a male bee, called a drone, chases down a queen mid-flight at speeds of 22 miles per hour, his entire reproductive organ turns inside out. The pressure required for this comes from nearly all the blood in his body, which rushes downward to force the organ outward like a spring. The semen fires into the queen with so much force it makes the audible pop. The organ then snaps off and stays lodged inside her like a cork. As he flips backward off her body, his abdomen rips open. The next drone waiting his turn has to physically yank out the dead male's cork before he can mate. The same thing then happens to him.
The queen does this 12 to 20 times in a single afternoon. She flies up to a spot in the sky that beekeepers call a drone congregation area. Picture an invisible meeting point about 50 to 130 feet above the ground where up to 11,000 male bees from as many as 240 different hives are hovering, waiting for her. These spots stay in the exact same locations year after year, sometimes for over a decade. No one fully understands how brand new drones, born only weeks earlier, find them.
By the end of her mating run, the queen has collected around 100 million sperm cells. She keeps only 5 to 6 million in a tiny internal storage organ that keeps them alive for years. From that supply, she uses just two sperm cells per egg for the rest of her life, laying up to 2,000 eggs a day for 2 to 7 years. After that one afternoon in the sky, she will never mate again.
A 2019 study from UC Riverside, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Western Australia found that bee semen contains toxic proteins that temporarily blind the queen by interfering with how vision genes function in her brain. If she can't see well, she can't fly out again to mate with more males. Their semen also carries a separate protein that attacks and kills sperm cells from rival drones still inside her. The males keep competing long after every one of them is dead.
The 99.9% of drones who never get to mate have it worse. As autumn arrives, the female worker bees in the hive stop feeding their brothers, then drag them out of the entrance after biting off their wings. The drones can't fly back in. They starve or freeze in the grass within days. The colony raises a fresh batch of disposable males the next spring, and the whole cycle starts over.
A beautiful Rafi song from the 1964 movie Ishara. Music KA. Lyrics Majrooh. The only movie to pair Joy Mukherjee and Vyjayanthimala. There's a lata version of the song, which is equally good. Directed by K. Amarnath. Song courtsey @Upjeet7
BMC says "compensatory tree plantation for Mumbai's mega projects will now be outside Mumbai."
I am getting convinced that environmentalists are being proven right in fighting against infrastructure. They have not made it a environment vs infrastructure clash. The State has.
Couple of years ago, I was knocked over by a bike coming in from the wrong direction behind me. This was in Goregaon, mumbai. No response ever from @MTPHereToHelp when i complained
This video just hit a nerve...hope there are severe punishments for such callous vehicle owners
Now only Mars is left to be littered, rest remotest of areas are now littered by Indians. Mana village, the home to the mystical Saraswati River, such clean waters now being turned into a pile of garbage.
If PM wants every place to be clean like Sikkim, time to introduce a special force for cleanliness, else nothing will change.
People take offence when I say Hindu culture is one of the biggest reasons behind pollution of rivers in India.
Volunteers are literally crying & begging them to not throw stuff in already polluted river but who tf cares?
No wonder no one wants us in their countries!!
