Saka strikes hat-trick; Mbappe slips away from Messi in a bona fide thriller

Saka strikes hat-trick; Mbappe slips away from Messi in a bona fide thriller

6 min readNew JerseyJul 19, 2026 06:36 AM IST The minds stalked the past, treading the grey lines between what could have or what should have been. But the eyes wandered into the future, what could, what abounded for the two teams that lost the semifinals in distinctive ways. France lost in tactics; England lost in the weight of emotions. Both combined to produce a wild thriller, a tennis set score of 6-4 in England’s favour, which could have made a sure-shot case to enter the thriller hall of fame, had it not been for the peculiarly intrinsic nature of third-place games, struck between a formality and a ghost match. The spectators were absurdly entertained, there was a goal every tenth minute if the stoppage allowances were taken into account. Bukayo Saka, confined to cameos in the knockouts, as he was not optimally fit, pummeled the lapses  in French defence, seemingly disinterested, the 90 minutes on the field a punishment for the collective shutdown against Spain. In the second half, it was England’s to be sloppy, …

(File Image/Getty) Unlike many passport rankings that mainly measure visa-free travel, the Global Passport Index assesses the overall strength of a passport by considering factors such as global mobility, investment potential and quality of life. The latest report ranks passports not only on the ease of international travel but also on the benefits they offer for living, working and investing in other countries. This is a developing story.

Rust Hits New High as Python Slips

Rust Hits New High as Python Slips

June brings another dip for Python, a familiar switch between C++ and Java, and a reshuffle near the bottom of the top 10. The bigger discussion, though, sits just outside the main table, with Paul Jansen now saying his earlier call on Rust may have been too cautious after the language reached its highest TIOBE ranking yet. The TIOBE Programming Community Index tracks programming language popularity using search engine activity. Historical trends trace the popularity of programming languages over decades. Python falls again, while C keeps second place Python remains #1 at 18.96%, down from 19.98% in May. It still leads the index by a wide margin, but June continues the downward drift that has been building through 2026. C stays second at 10.77%. Its rating is lower than last month’s, but the rank is unchanged, and it still has a comfortable cushion over the languages behind it. C++ moves back ahead of Java The closest contest near the top is once again between C++ and Java. C++ returns to #3 at 8.03%, while Java …

Indian rupee hits all-time low, slips past 96 per dollar amid oil price surge

The Indian rupee weakened to an all-time low on Friday, as oil prices neared $110 per barrel, intensifying economic challenges for the world’s third-biggest crude importer, with strains emerging in key indicators.

India office vacancy slips to 13.8 pc in Q1 amid surging demand

India office vacancy slips to 13.8 pc in Q1 amid surging demand

Office vacancy across India’s top eight cities averaged 13.85 per cent in Q1 2026, slipping below the 14 per cent threshold for the first time since the pandemic driven by sustained occupier demand and a sharp moderation in new supply, a report said on Wednesday.  The report from commercial real estate services firm Cushman; Wakefield said vacancy declined by about 48 basis points quarter‑on‑quarter and around 191 basis points year‑on‑year in Q1 2026. It also marked the eleventh consecutive quarter of compression. New completions across the top eight cities stood at 8.8 million square feet (MSF), down 43 per cent QoQ and 18 per cent YoY, largely due to delays in project completions, the report said. Notably, Bengaluru (35 per cent), Delhi NCR (25 per cent) and Chennai (18 per cent) accounted for the bulk of new supply, while Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata recorded no completions, resulting in faster absorption of available vacant stock across several established office locations. Net absorption stood at 11.51 MSF in Q1 2026, reflecting a 28 per cent QoQ and …

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office: Ranveer Singh’s film slips to single digit on 3rd Monday, crosses Rs 875 crore mark

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office: Ranveer Singh’s film slips to single digit on 3rd Monday, crosses Rs 875 crore mark

Dhurandhar: The Revenge slipped to a single-digit figure on its third Monday, adding Rs. 8.25 crore to the tally. The movie recorded a drop of 60 per cent over its third Friday. The third week’s cume has reached Rs. 76.75 crore in the first four days. It is looking to close around Rs. 95 crore to Rs. 100 crore.  Currently standing at Rs. 878.50 crore, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will wind up its three-week cume at Rs. 900 crore nett at the Hindi box office, becoming the first ever Indian film to achieve this feat. The all-India collection of the Ranveer Singh starrer is chasing the Rs. 1000 crore nett. However, achieving this huge feat in the Hindi version alone seems difficult now. Had Bhooth Bangla been releasing this weekend, Dhurandhar 2 would have cut short its box office journey much earlier. But now, it has the benefit of another free week at the box office. There might be some sense of underwhelm seeing the film fall behind its predecessor in daily collections, but that was always how …
