Like Messi, Mbappe misses from the spot, but still sinks Morocco

Published by Webster

Sometimes, time is a player’s biggest enemy. Too much time, he broods, he doubts and misses. Hard-pressed for time, the instincts take over and the muscle memory kicks in. The tantrums of time don’t spare the most luminescent footballers in the world. In a day’s time, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both failed to beat the goalkeeper from 12 yards. Yet, with guilt gnawing like mites, time running out, legs tiring, they produced goals from more improbable directions in open play. Mbappe’s goal that soothed the French nerves and broke Morocco’s belief was a stunning blend of timing and precision, ruthlessness and opportunism. France would win 2-0 to be in the semi-final. For his goal, Mbappe had just two seconds to decide. His back was facing the goal, but he manufactured a pocket of space for him to take a sharp U-turn, took a velcro-touch to take the ball away from the defenders, just lifted his right leg and threaded the ball through the narrow space between Issa Diop and Noussair Mazraoui. The ball still had …

As Visakhapatnam rises skyward, groundwater sinks in Yendada-Madhurawada corridor

Published by Parlour News

On the surface, the situation appears reassuring. The Yeleru reservoir remains well stocked, Godavari water continues to supplement Visakhapatnam’s supply, and officials say there is no immediate threat to municipal drinking water. Beneath the ground, however, another story is unfolding. Groundwater levels have fallen sharply across several of the city’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods, where apartment towers, gated communities and commercial developments have turned what were once peri-urban villages into dense residential corridors. Experts warn that unless urban planning, groundwater recharge and water supply keep pace with development, dependence on borewells and tanker water will keep rising. Embed: Data from the Andhra Pradesh Water Resources Information and Management System (APWRIMS) shows that some of the city’s fastest-growing localities record among the deepest groundwater levels. As on July 2, 2026, groundwater stood at 31.69 metres below ground level (mbgl) in Arilova, 28.73 mbgl in Yendada, 27.23 mbgl in Madhurawada, 23.12 mbgl in Peda Rushikonda, 16.52 mbgl at YSR Park, 14.54 mbgl in Visalakshinagar and 11.72 mbgl in Marikavalasa.
