No hope for the new poor

Opinion: Govt shoots a messenger
She wasn’t handcuffed. Yet, she was indeed guarded by hordes of police personnel all the time: from custody to court. Following an overnight stay in custody, she was taken to court with a “guard of dishonour” and then hauled on to a prison van to jail on Tuesday.

Here comes a game that no one wants to be involved in. What glory can two losers achieve from a third-place deciding game? For teams, nothing but the World Cup matters. It's just cruel to ask one of the losing semifinalists to lose again.

Respect Russia

Lady Luck was not with Brazil
What a match it was Friday midnight! A cracker of a contest that was fought hard till the end.
