Germany coach Nagelsmann says no pressure to prove himself

3 min readJun 29, 2026 12:54 PM IST Julian Nagelsmann stated that he feels no pressure to prove his worth as Germany prepare for their World Cup Round of 32 clash against Paraguay. The upcoming game marks a significant milestone for the four-time world champions, as it is their first appearance in a knockout match of the tournament in 12 years. After entering the World Cup with nine consecutive victories, Germany dominated Curacao 7-1 in their Group E debut and later clinched the top position with a last-minute win over the Ivory Coast. Despite previous early exits in the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, the team appeared to be cruising toward a 12th straight win until a surprising 2-1 defeat by Ecuador in their final group fixture ended their streak and sparked immediate concern among supporters. While the defeat had no consequences on Germany’s standing in the group, it piled on immediate pressure on Nagelsmann and his cohort. Germany have also conceded a goal in all three group matches they played. ALSO READ | Cape Verde …

In Absence of Citizenship Document, How Do You Prove You Are Indian?

In Absence of Citizenship Document, How Do You Prove You Are Indian?

Published by Parlour News

Citizenship is a vertical relationship between the individual and the state. Originally, citizenship used to signify a belief in certain liberal and republican ideas and did not have much to do with territory and status. Today, it is all about territory, status, and exclusion rather than inclusion. The Foreigners’ Tribunals in Assam reportedly denied citizenship to people despite some possessing as many as 15 documents. The judiciary, too, has become quite restrictive in this regard. In Shabbir Hussain’s (1951) case — a trader who got stuck in Lahore during Partition and returned to India only on a temporary permit but was subsequently arrested for overstaying in India — the apex court refused to treat him as a Pakistani national. Similarly, in Abdul Khader (1960), the Supreme (SC) Court refused to treat Khader as a foreigner despite his having a Pakistani passport. But in Izhar Ahmad Khan (1962), the court treated possession of a Pakistani passport as conclusive proof of Pakistani citizenship. By 2008, the Court had become even more restrictive when, in Razia Bergum, it held that even possession of …

“It will be difficult for our rivals” — and he has the record to prove it

2 min readJun 10, 2026 07:27 PM IST “It will be very difficult for our rivals to face Argentina because it’s a very strong, united group with undiminished enthusiasm.” Lionel Messi‘s message before his sixth World Cup was short and unambiguous. He delivered it after scoring in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Iceland in Auburn on Tuesday — his 117th international goal, and one that made him the oldest player to score for the Albiceleste at 38 years, 11 months and 14 days, surpassing Angel Labruna’s record that had stood since 1957. It was his 199th cap. Next Tuesday against Algeria will be his 200th. Three players will appear at a sixth World Cup when the tournament opens on June 11 — Messi, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa. No player in history has reached that number before. “It all happened very quickly,” Messi said. “I felt good, and even though I’m playing for Inter Miami, I never stopped competing, pushing myself. It just happened naturally that I was able to be in most of …

Gurindervir Singh and his obsession to prove naysayers wrong drives him to 100m NR

Published by Webster

4 min readMay 24, 2026 07:00 AM IST Gurindervir Singh, 25, from Punjab, broke the men’s 100m national athletics record at the Federation Cup in Ranchi Saturday, clocking 10.09 seconds to become the first Indian to run a sub-10.10-second time. In fact, Gurindervir broke the record twice in two days. In the first semifinal on Friday, he ran 10.17s to better Animesh Kujur’s previous mark of 10.18s, though in the second semifinal, Kujur sprinted back with a faster 10.15s. The performances of India’s fastest two men have raised the country’s hopes for an athletics medal in the Commonwealth Games (in Scotland, from July 23) as well as the Asian Games (in Japan from September 19), where they could go even faster as they are expected to be in peak form. To be sure, Gurindervir’s 10.09s in Ranchi would have been good enough to win him a silver in the last Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022. On Saturday, when Gurindervir snapped off his bib after crossing the finish line at the Birsa Munda Stadium, coach …

There has been plenty of talk about Kohli being a part of the Indian team for next year’s 50-over World Cup.

Performance—no one can guarantee performance in any space. But in terms of effort and commitment, I know what I can deliver because I literally live my life like that. It’s not like I prepare for a series and suddenly start working hard two or three weeks before. I’m like that through the year. So if you call me and if you say there’s a series coming up, I’m ready.

Tamil Nadu Governor asks Vijay to submit list of supporting MLAs, prove majority

Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Thursday asked Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay to submit a list of supporting Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and demonstrate the numbers required to prove majority during their second meeting at Lok Bhavan, sources told news agency ANI. According to the sources quoted above, the Governor sought complete clarity on the magic number for government formation and wanted details of all legislators backing TVK’s claim. Vijay, who met the Governor for the second consecutive day, is not inclined to seek support from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), sources added. After the meeting, he held consultations with senior TVK leaders and legal advisors at his residence in Neelankarai. Some senior leaders have reportedly advised the party to explore legal options by approaching the Supreme Court or the Madras High Court. A section of leaders also suggested the possibility of going for fresh elections if required. TVK has staked claim to form the government with the support of the Congress, which has five MLAs. However, the alliance is still …
