3 min readJul 12, 2026 06:55 PM IST Switzerland’s head coach, Murat Yakin, slammed the VAR after their quarter-final game against Argentina. Swiss team forward Breel Embolo, who initially received a yellow card in the game, was later given another, resulting in a red card. Embolo’s subsequent absence affected Switzerland’s balance, and Yakin stated there was no need for that red card. “We were punished because of a mistake. There was no reason for that red card. I don’t understand it. It was an innocent situation; there was nothing malicious about it. The refereeing error punished us and completely disrupted our game plan,” he said. “That decision was simply unbelievable. I completely disagree with it. There was clear contact, and I don’t understand how the referee and the VAR came to that conclusion,” he added. Although the coach clarified that Argentina was not favoured in the game and said the referee did a fair job, he ultimately claimed football was not the winner. “I wouldn’t say they were being favored. We had fair and open …

Published by Parlour News

For Tom Holland, working with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey came with an unexpected moment of self-doubt. Speaking in Mumbai ahead of the film’s India premiere, the actor recalled briefly thinking the Oscar-winning filmmaker wasn’t happy with his performance. During the same conversation, Holland and co-star Matt Damon also opened up about the enormous challenges of making Nolan’s most ambitious film yet. Recalling the experience, Holland explained that he misunderstood one of Nolan’s early directions on set. “I thought Chris wasn’t happy with my performance because he called ‘cut’ within three minutes,” Holland said. He later realised that the interruption was purely technical. IMAX film cameras can only record for around three minutes before the film magazine needs to be replaced. “Shooting in IMAX requires a lot of collaboration with not only the directors, but also the camera crew. We were lucky that our camera crew was like an F1 crew because they were so fast. We were doing such emotional scenes that their delay would have been the loss of momentum. Our team made …
