World Cup scenarios: How Belgium, Croatia can advance despite finishing third | Football News

Published by Webster

The expanded 48-team World Cup has changed the dynamics of the group stage. Gone are the days when finishing outside the top two automatically meant elimination. In the new format, the top two teams from each of the 12 groups are joined by the eight best third-placed teams, meaning two-thirds of the field will reach the knockout rounds. As the group stage enters the final matchday, the race for those eight third-place spots is beginning to take shape. Four points should be enough for most teams. Three points may still be sufficient, but only with a favourable goal difference and goals-scored record. Scotland, Croatia and Sweden are well placed If there is a group of teams sitting comfortably ahead of the final round, Scotland, Croatia and Sweden belong in it. Scotland sit third in Group C with three points and a neutral goal difference. They face Brazil knowing that a draw would take them to four points and leave them in an excellent position to qualify, even if they remain third. Victory could yet send …

India slams Pakistan over ‘politicising’ UN forum: ‘J&K was, is, and will remain internal matter’

Published by Parlour News

India once again sharply rebuked Pakistan at a United Nations Security Council meeting, accusing Islamabad of “politicising” the international forum and reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir was an “internal” part of India. This is the second time in a month that New Delhi has criticised Pakistan’s remarks at the UNSC. (ANI Video Grab) In response to the remarks made by Pakistan’s representative during the meeting, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Harish Parvathaneni, said these were “unwarranted.” “I also refer to the unwarranted remarks made by the representative of Pakistan.

The Indian envoy to UN further reiterated a position asserted by New Delhi several times in the past. “I would only like to stress for brevity of time that the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is a matter strictly internal to India, it has always been is and will remain so,” Harish added. Pakistan has previously made …

India’s leading table tennis player Manika Batra has intensified her challenge to her exclusion from the Asian Games squad, issuing a strongly-worded statement demanding answers from the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) and warning that she could pursue legal action if a satisfactory explanation is not provided.

I am not asking to be selected. I am not asking anyone to overturn the decision. I am asking for answers,” Batra said. The former Asian Games medallist questioned the basis on which players were evaluated, pointing out that she is currently ranked World No. 51 and that international rankings operate on a rolling points system.

India, US intensify trade talks ahead of July tariff deadline

India, US intensify trade talks ahead of July tariff deadline

Published by Webster

India and the United States opened high-level trade talks on Tuesday aimed at salvaging and recalibrating a proposed bilateral trade agreement after changes in US tariff policy upended a framework negotiated earlier this year. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal met US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer here as both sides sought to conclude an interim trade pact before July 24, when Washington’s temporary 10 per cent tariff on imports from trading partners is due to expire. The talks are focused on reworking a framework agreement announced in February that was built around tariff commitments later rendered uncertain by a US Supreme Court ruling striking down sweeping tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump. Under the February framework, the US had agreed to reduce tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent, lower than duties facing several competing exporters.   However, the subsequent court ruling and Washington’s decision to impose a temporary 10 per cent tariff on imports from all countries have forced both sides to revisit key elements of the arrangement. On June 17, US …
