How Lionel Scaloni engineered another Argentine remontada

How Lionel Scaloni engineered another Argentine remontada

Published by Webster

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing the world he didn’t exist. There is a touch of Keyser Söze about Lionel Scaloni. There is a reason why Luis de la Fuente’s positional organisation, Thomas Tuchel’s strategic detail and Didier Deschamps’ attacking framework have all been analysed, to the minutest of details. Yet, no manager at this World Cup has slipped through tactical scrutiny quite like Argentina’s. For every time Scaloni has been asked to explain an Argentine remontada, his answer has been the same: it is inexplicable, he does not understand it either. Wednesday’s semifinal against England was another case in point. Argentina overturned a deficit — only the second comeback in a World Cup semifinal this century — to win 2-1. Asked how his team did it, Scaloni offered only a smile. “I am surprised. This group never ceases to surprise me. It’s very difficult to get people to understand what the players are doing. My understanding is that when we face adversity, when we smell blood, that’s when we play …

Inside Operation Tiger: How Eknath Shinde engineered a Shiv Sena split, again

Published by Parlour News

Shiv Sena’s strategy to deal the final blow to its rival Shiv Sena (UBT) was inked soon after the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections; but the plan was actioned – under the label ‘Operation Tiger’ — when the delimitation bill was defeated in the Parliament, said top Sena leaders to HT. According to people aware of subsequent developments, Sena chief and deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde and his son Shrikant Shinde, a Lok Sabha MP who represents the Kalyan constituency, seized the opportunity to convince the BJP leadership at the Centre that Sena could add to its numbers by urging MPs from Sena (UBT) to switch over. Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde arrives to attend the NDA leaders’ meeting at Bharat Mandapam, in New Delhi. (ANI) The initial feelers to four Lok Sabha MPs from Sena (UBT) – Nagesh Patil Ashtikar, Sanjay Jadhav, Sanjay Deshmukh and Bhausaheb Wakchaure – yielded positive results, as they had a good rapport with union minister of state for health Pratap Jadhav. The aim was now to win over another …

Proving most political analyses and exit polls wrong, actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has emerged as the single largest party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections 2026. Despite it being their debut polls, Vijay and TVK earned a landslide victory in the state, and when the final results are out, the party is likely to secure over 100 seats out of the total 234. TVK’s massive victory is particularly noteworthy as only Axis My India had predicted that the party would achieve such success, while most other outlets predicted that the outfit would not even cross 30 seats. Based on current trends, Vijay is set to become the fourth actor in history to sit on the Chief Minister’s chair in Tamil Nadu after MG Ramachandran (MGR), his wife Janaki Ramachandran (née VN Janaki), and J Jayalalithaa.

Controlled Chaos: How Bangladesh’s Unrest Is Being Engineered Into Anti-India Pivot | Exclusive | World News

Published by Webster

Last Updated:December 20, 2025, 16:26 IST While the interim Bangladesh administration frames the unrest as a spontaneous eruption of grief, ground intelligence suggests a far more calculated design The relations between India and Bangladesh came under strain after the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus came to power in Dhaka. (File pic/PTI) The escalating turmoil in Bangladesh following the death of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi is being viewed by top intelligence sources as a meticulously timed and premeditated pivot towards a hardline anti-India stance. While the interim administration frames the unrest as a spontaneous eruption of grief, ground intelligence suggests a far more calculated design. The violence is not merely a byproduct of a power vacuum but a deliberate use of “controlled chaos” to reshape the country’s foundational identity and its relationship with New Delhi. The systemic failure to protect diplomatic missions—including the targeted stone-pelting at the Indian Assistant High Commission in Chattogram and the siege of the High Commission in Dhaka—stems from a lack of political will rather than a lack of security …

IndiGo chairman rubbishes claims that airline engineered crisis; says board was engaged on FDTL rules for ‘many months’ | Business News

Published by Parlour News

In his first public statement since widespread operational disruptions hit IndiGo last week, the chairman of the airline’s board Vikram Singh Mehta rejected allegations that the crisis was engineered and that the airline tried to influence the government over the revised Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules. Mehta also said that claims that the airline’s board was not engaged on the FDTL issue are “not correct”. The IndiGo chairman announced that the airline’s board will involve an external technical expert to work with the management and help determine the root causes and ensure corrective action, “so that this level of disruption never occurs again”. Apologising for the disruption that impacted tens of thousands of passengers, Mehta said that while he had been urged to make a statement on the issue, he chose to wait because the airline’s board felt that its first duty was to support IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and his team, restore operations, and help passengers who were affected. With the airline’s operations now stabilised, Mehta said that he felt it was the …

Starlight Didn’t Survive Vought—She Engineered It While Hughie Fumbled In The Dark

Starlight Stands Silent In Tactical Power ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) The Boys never promised us saints. And if you thought Starlight was the exception, you’ve been duped by her glow. From her first day in the Seven, Annie January knew she was stepping into a viper pit. But instead of turning into a victim or playing the superhero martyr, she recalibrated. Quietly. Strategically. Because Starlight was never the innocent one, she was just better at hiding her moves. Annie Controlled The Narrative, Not Just The Power From season one, we saw Annie walk into Vought with starry eyes and Midwest idealism. But she didn’t just crumble when the mask came off. She didn’t let the trauma break her, she adapted. Where Hughie often spiraled, Annie observed, recalculated, and played chess while he was still learning checkers. Take her public persona. While Hughie mostly stumbled from mission to mission, she built the “Starlight Army,” turned fans into allies, and used every camera lens as a weapon. That’s power in plain sight. She reshaped her …

IND vs WI: How Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh engineered India’s clean-sweep of Windies | Cricket News

Published by Webster

It wasn’t an ideal win to finish the year, but with just 10 months to go for the World Cup, India showed they are on the right track in the 50-over format. The series was already sewn up, after well-rounded performances in the last two matches. On Friday, Deepti Sharma’s all-round show and Renuka Singh’s early strikes helped India defeat West Indies by 5 wickets to clean-sweep the series 3-0. As it was in the first two ODIs, nothing went the West Indies way. For a 9.30 am start, they chose to bat first, though pacers would have enjoyed the moisture on the surface. But Hayley Mathews admitted post-match that the under-fire batting line-up was more concerned about how the pitch would behave in the second half, where spinners would extract considerable help. To avoid a clean-sweep, all they needed was a batting effort that would have carried them past 200. If they had seen off the new ball, they were in with a chance, but it is easier said than done when Renuka is …

BJP is `tukde tukde gang`, it engineered split in 2 parties in Maha: Khera

Published by Webster

Congress leader Pawan Khera on Friday dubbed the BJP as the “tukde tukde gang”, saying that it engineered a split in two political parties in Maharashtra, and added that people have not liked the saffron party`s act. He also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was creating religious polarisation through his poll speeches since the BJP does not have any issue to highlight among people in terms of the work that the party-led government at the Centre carried out in the last 10 years. Khera expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc would win 35 out of the total 48 seats in Maharashtra. “The BJP that has split two parties in Maharashtra is the `tukde tukde gang`, and people have not liked this. There is preference towards the INDIA bloc in Maharashtra and the same atmosphere is being seen across the country, including Gujarat,” chairman of the media and publicity department of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) said. He was referring to the split in the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) caused …
