Brazil were shocked by the Norwegians when Erling Haaland scored a brace for Norway before Neymar converted a penalty in the fag end of he match as the contest ended 2-1 in favour of the Scandinavian country. “It pleases me that Brazil are out. I simply can’t stand this moaning and gesticulating anymore. Instead of taking the penalty quickly, Neymar argued with the goalkeeper both before and after the shot. You can see from this behaviour that he puts his ego above the success of the team,” Matthaus wrote in his column for Sky Germany. One of Brazilian football’s most flamboyant talents, Neymar was reduced to tears following the 2–1 defeat to Norway, which brought the Seleção’s campaign to a crushing halt on Monday.

3 min readJul 4, 2026 09:49 PM IST Cristiano Ronaldo may have found the net against Croatia in Portugal’s Round of 32 match but former Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that the team cannot win anything with a 41-year-old leading the attack. Ronaldo has played 4 matches in the World Cup thus far and scored 3 goals with his latest effort coming from the penalty spot. “Portugal fans could have expected what’s happening. You can’t expect to win anything in 2026 with a 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo leading the attack. Especially since Ramos is on the bench, having come on and scored,” Ibrahimovic said as per Goal.com. “This isn’t ‘legendary leadership.’ It’s the ego that’s holding the team hostage. Ronaldo has lost his touch and mobility. Now he’s just in the box… At this point, his aura is supporting him more than his legs. Continuing to start him is pure nostalgia-driven madness,” he added. At 41, Ronaldo will get another match in a Portugal uniform, thanks to a penalty he scored, a stoppage time header by …

For years, Samantha Ruth Prabhu ran what she now calls a hallucination, a race with no finish line, no real competition, and no clear purpose, until illness stopped her in her tracks and forced her to start over. “I think I was also young and very very keen to run the race,” she spoke in an interview with Gulthe. “After my second break, I realised there is no race. You realise it is a hallucination that there is a race, that there is competition, that there is someone to beat or there is a finish line. Now I’m not running any race and I don’t see any finish line.” The addiction, she admitted, began early.
