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 …

Argentina survive Cape Verde scare with 111th-minute winner

2 min readJul 4, 2026 06:22 AM IST Argentina escaped by the skin of their teeth in Miami, with Cristian Romero’s 111th-minute strike, later ruled an own goal, sealing a dramatic Round of 16 berth after Cape Verde had pushed the defending champions to the brink at World Cup 2026. The tiny island nation of Cape Verde played with their hearts out, more than matching the heavyweight Albiceleste, but Lionel Messi’s side kept their composure to eventually come out on top. Argentina will now face Egypt for a place in the quarterfinals. Messi had earlier put the reigning champions ahead with his record-extending 20th career World Cup goal in the 29th minute. However, Cape Verde’s Deroy Duarte scored a stunning equaliser in the 59th minute – his first international goal – silencing the pro-Argentina crowd in South Florida. It was a preview of what could have been one of the most shocking outcomes in World Cup history had Cape Verde pulled off the upset. Cape Verde’s memorable World Cup debut has been a stunning run …

Late Erling Haaland winner takes Norway past Ivory Coast and into last 16

Late Erling Haaland winner takes Norway past Ivory Coast and into last 16

4 min readNew DelhiJul 1, 2026 01:11 AM IST It had been 28 years since Norway last played a FIFA World Cup knockout game, but it was well worth the wait for the Nordic country when they beat a valiant Ivory Coast 2-1 with a late goal from, who else, Erling Haaland. The match seemed to be progressing towards extra time when the Manchester City phenom found the net with a rather fortuitous finish past goalkeeper Yahia Fofana after a square pass from Patrick Berg. The Scandinavians were set on their way by Antonio Nusa with a sumptuous curling strike in the first half, before Amad Diallo put the cat among the pigeons with an equally eye-catching equaliser with a little over a quarter of an hour of normal time left. Tranquility reigned supreme in Dallas for 37 minutes. Perhaps unexpectedly so, given Norway’s reputation as one of the tournament’s most prolific attacking forces. Ståle Solbakken’s side had plundered 37 goals in eight qualifying matches before adding another eight in the group stage. Leading the …

‘McCullum got to go with Stokes’: Former Ashes winner uses strong words and wants New Zealander out of England set-up

Published by Parlour News

Former England fast bowler and Ashes winner Steve Harmison wants head coach Brendon McCullum to quit too in the wake of the international retirement of Ben Stokes on Sunday, during day four of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum shared a great bond. (AFP) The 47-year-old, who played 63 Tests for England and took 226 wickets, is not happy with the Bazball cricket that McCullum has introduced in English cricket since taking over as a coach. After some initial success, it has floundered big time in recent months. They lost the Ashes 4-1 and, before they drew 2-2 at home against India. The ongoing series… they might end up losing too. They need 270 more to win with just six wickets in hand on the last day.

Two years ago, when Stephen Eustaquio walked onto the pitch, he felt a sense of purposelessness. He had lost his parents in the space of a year, and when he couldn’t find them in the stands, he felt like crying, to quit the game his parents helped build. “I felt there was no meaning in my life, and we were playing world champions Argentina in the COPA,” he told Canada Football website. In the next few months, he took a break, spent time unto himself and returned revitalised. “It was their dream to see me achieve something big, so I should keep playing for them,” he said. Two years later, in Los Angeles, he found the purpose of his life. To score the most historic goal yet in Canada’s football history, the one that stamped their boarding pass to its first-ever round of 16 encounter. The exact moment came a minute and twenty seconds into the stoppage time, when the game seemed meandering into the inevitability of extra time and potentially the shootouts. But pounced in Canada’s …

2 min readJun 29, 2026 03:13 AM IST A later 92nd minute winner from Stephen Eustaquio helped co-hosts of the ongoing FIFA World Cup become the first team to secure a spot in the Round of 16 after overcoming South Africa. The match looked destined to be decided in extra time or penalties, when Eustaquio slotted his shot to the right of the South African goalkeeper Ronwen Williams at the Los Angeles Stadium. “You guys are Canadian heroes! Canadian heroes!” Canada coach Jesse Marsch was heard telling his players in a huddle after the final whistle. It was a battle between two teams that had never made it to the knockout phase of a World Cup before this – and Canada will now continue their World Cup journey. They will face the winner of the Netherlands versus Morocco clash in the last 16. It was a heartbreaking end to the campaign for South Africa. Ronwen Williams pulled off five saves for South Africa while their opponents had 12 attempts including seven on target. But eventually, …
