Lewandowski earned the penalty after a VAR check 11 minutes into the second half when Hector Moreno tugged at his shirt. However, the striker, who has never scored at the World Cup, saw his shot saved by Guillermo Ochoa. “Today I feel sorry for Robert, because I know how much he wanted to score at the World Cup,” Poland coach Czeslaw Michniewicz said. “So far he has not succeeded, but I hope that in the next opportunities that lie ahead of him he will convert them into goals.” The result leaves Saudi Arabia as surprise group leaders following their stunning 2-1 upset of Argentina, one of the pre-tournament favourites, earlier on Tuesday. Temporary arena In a temporary arena built using 974 recycled shipping containers that overlooks the Arabian Gulf, a sea of Mexico fans in green outnumbered their Poland counterparts and made their presence felt in the 40,000-capacity venue. The Mexicans gave a stirring ren...

The public eye on single people can make eating alone seem more awkward and strange than it actually is. It is because so much in our society is structured around couples, it puts pressure on the unmarried or singles in their late 20s and early 30s. Among other pursuits in life, twenty-somethings people are worried about who to take to meet the family for holidays, or feel like a stranger in a group of married friends. They also cannot seem to find time to date or having given up on blind dates after a few fails. This kind of pressure does not only come from family members, but also people from work or from friend circles. Everyone in their lives seem to be concerned if they reach a certain age without a ring on their finger, or no date on Valentine’s day. It is a constant reminder for you that the clock is ticking and you are not getting any younger. Single’s Day (November 11) November 11 is chosen as the day for single and unattached adults because the date, 11.11, l...

Cristiano Ronaldo become the first man to score in five World Cups as Portugal overcame Ghana in their first game, although they will surely face a more difficult task against Uruguay. As has been the case since their Euro 2016 win, Fernando Santos’ side haven’t proven convincing and were even somewhat fortunate to come through the Ghana game with three points. Uruguay, meanwhile, were hardly the most progressive during their draw with South Korea but certainly have the quality in attack capable of hurting Portugal.

Portugal vs Uruguay team news Santos is not a manager to tinker too much but Rafael Leao impressed against Ghana and could feature from the start here. Nuno Mendes is another fresh option, over Raphael Guerreiro. For Uruguay, it will be fascinating to see wha...

On his fifth and final quest for the only major trophy to elude him, the 35-year-old Messi scored a 10th minute penalty in a dominant first half display where he and Lautaro Martinez also had three goals disallowed for offside. But Saudi Arabia, the second-lowest ranked team in the tournament after Ghana, threw caution to the wind at the start of the second half, charging at Argentina’s defence in front of a frenzied 88,012 crowd.

Representative image According to the World Jewish Congress, the terrorist attack shook the human conscience and drew widespread global condemnation and the Jewish community, equally became a target during the attacks. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his pregnant wife Rivka, as well as four other captives at the Mumbai Chabad House who were killed by the terrorists, were among the casualties. Meanwhile, in the Hague, global human rights defenders held a demonstration in front of the peace palace in Hague to commemorate the Mumbai terror attack on November 26, 2008, and raised voices against ‘ruthless terrorism’ and demanded justice from Pakistan, according to the press statement released by Global Human Rights Defence.

The 10 terrorist...
