Published by Webster

If Antonin Panenka had his way, Mo Salah would have paid royalty to the former Czech midfielder, the inventor of the chip-shot penalty named after him. Panenka’s original, the last of the five spot-kicks taken by Czechoslovakia, won his country the Euro 1976 title against West Germany. Panenka even tried to get his creation patented. But officials didn’t entertain him, he said on the 50th anniversary of the deceptive spot-kick. Plenty of high-quality Panenkas have come in crunch moments. Egypt won their first-ever knockout game at a FIFA World Cup, beating Australia 4-2 on penalties with Salah scoring the third one with a Panenka. Australia brought on their penalty expert Matt Ryan to go where Mohamed Salah normally puts his penalties. But Mohamed Salah had different ideas with the panenka. 🥶 pic.twitter.com/anN8fZ9Qo4 — Samuel (@SamueILFC) July 4, 2026 When Salah prepared to strike in the shootout after the game was tied 1-1 after extra time, he seemed to be going for a full-blooded shot into one of the corners. The Liverpool legend took a few …

In a rare summer sighting, flocks of flamingos have arrived at Nandur Madhmeshwar Bird Sanctuary in Nashik district, popularly known as the ‘Bharatpur of Maharashtra’, bringing a splash of pink to the reservoir amid April’s scorching heat. The migratory flamingos, locally known as Rohit, were spotted descending on the sanctuary on April 28, creating a striking visual across the water body at the confluence of the Godavari and Kadwa rivers. The sight is unusual for this time of the year, as flamingo congregations are typically associated with winter months.

Minutes before Switzerland’s match against Chile at the FIH Men’s Junior World Cup was scheduled to start, a man wearing Swiss gear made his way to the stands while taking cover from the incessant rain. He began distributing miniature Swiss national flags – easily over a 100 of them – attached to plastic straws. It was Punleuk Kam, Managing Director of Swiss Hockey, who asked fans to pose for a photograph holding the flags and asked them to cheer as well. He then turned to the press and joked, “Switzerland is a neutral country.
