FIFA World Cup 2026: Alan Shearer makes big England vs Argentina prediction: ‘VAR might impact us’

3 min readJul 15, 2026 12:24 PM IST Former England captain Alan Shearer has predicted a player to be sent off in the England vs Argentina FIFA World Cup semi-final on Wednesday, but admitted that he was worried about the level of refereeing and the intervention of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the match. Shearer captained the England team, which was knocked out in the Round of 16 clash against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, which famously saw David Beckham sent off after a tackle on Diego Simeone. “I would not be surprised at all if we saw another red card this time too, but I am slightly concerned where the refereeing will be at, and how VAR might impact us,” Shearer wrote in his BBC column. “It was an unbelievable night with everything that happened, and, while I know I should be over it by now, I still don’t think the best team won. What happened to us then should be a warning to England now, because these are the kind of …

Trump administration’s new fee proposal could make US green card costlier. How can it impact Indians?

Trump administration’s new fee proposal could make US green card costlier. How can it impact Indians?

The Trump administration has proposed a new rule to significantly increase the cost of filing a form required for immigrants to apply to become naturalised US citizens. If the rule takes effect, it could potentially make green cards costlier — an impact that would also be felt by Indians in the States. The DHS proposal notes that the new rule would not take effect for at least 60 days after it is posted, as it must first go through a public comment period. (Representative File Image) According to the rule proposed by the Department of Homeland Security, the cost of filing Form N-400 (application for naturalisation) by paper would increase from $760 to $1,330 — a 75 per cent surge. Meanwhile, the cost of filing the form online would increase from $710 to $1,280 — an 80 per cent surge. The form for naturalisation for those with a household income below 400 per cent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines remains at $380, with no change proposed. The reduced-fee option form is only available for paper …

The actor gave a heartfelt account of how the experience changed her idea of self and the way it shaped her behaviour in public spaces. Recalling those years, she said, “I used to be ashamed of my eyes. “I used to feel ashamed of my eyes. Since childhood, whenever I walked outside, I faced stalking. Boys would make ‘meow’ sounds because they called them cat eyes. I felt embarrassed, so I stopped walking with my eyes up and always looked down. Even when I went out with my family, I kept some distance so I could walk with my eyes lowered.” Her experience reflects how repeated unwanted attention can quietly alter self-perception. According to psychiatrist Dr Anitha Chandra, Consultant – Psychiatry, Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore, such reactions are rooted in how the brain …
