🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿| 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 What a start to the game back in October 2007 as Scotland scored two goals inside the opening 10 minutes in this EURO 2008 qualifier v Ukraine at Hampden! Two goals came from two free kicks as Kenny Miller and a beauty from Lee McCulloch gave Alex McLeish’s men a dream start. The visitors main man Shevchenko halved the scoreline. But James McFadden (who else?) ultimately secured the win against a side that reached the quarter finals of the World Cup a year before. Who was at Hampden that day? What are your memories of the game?

39 years ago today! ⏰❤️ 🗣️ “A spectacular goal quelled the nervousness shown by Heart of Midlothian against Clydebank on Saturday and it pushed the league leaders to within a point of their first championship win for 26 years. The goal, splendidly struck by Mackay after 34 minutes gave Hearts a 1-0 victory over a stubborn Clydebank side and stretched their unbeaten run to 31 matches. The climax to Hearts' astonishing season will come next Saturday at Dens Park, which is expected to house its biggest crowd for years as an army of Edinburgh supporters travel to Dundee to encourage their team over the final hurdle. Hearts will find Dundee in more combative mood at home than they were at Parkhead because their opponents need two points to give them a glimmer of hope of finding a place in next season's UEFA Cup.” ❤️ Gary Mackay against Clydebank. 26/4/1986. #HeartsFC #HeartsGoals #ClassicHeartsFCGoals #HeartOfMidlothianFC

🚨 Ronaldo Nazário on Lionel Messi’s performance at the 2026 World Cup after Argentina’s defeat to Spain in the final. 🗣️ Ronaldo Nazário: “Watching that final was emotional because it reminded me of how cruel football can be. Messi gave everything once again, just as he did years ago, but sometimes even your very best isn’t enough to win the biggest prize.” “Eight goals, four assists, and another World Cup final at his age. Tell me, what else could anyone realistically ask from him? You can’t expect one player to score every goal, create every opportunity, defend every attack, and win the match alone.” “I’ve always believed greatness is measured by consistency at the highest level, and Messi proved that again. At an age when most players have already stepped away from international football, he was still the driving force behind Argentina’s campaign. That’s extraordinary.” “This tournament reminded me that football is a team sport. The greatest players in history still need teammates to rise to the occasion in the biggest moments. One player, no matter how talented, cannot carry an entire nation forever.” “I’m happy he won the World Cup in 2022 because a career like his deserved that achievement. Nobody can erase what he accomplished or what he means to football.” “Spain will be remembered as deserved champions, but people who truly understand football will also remember the individual brilliance Messi displayed throughout the tournament. He was the heartbeat of Argentina from the opening match to the final.” “He gave everything for his country—his talent, his experience, and his leadership. If eight goals and four assists still weren’t enough to win the trophy, then the blame should never fall on one man. Football has never worked that way.” “Years from now, people will look back on this as one of the greatest individual World Cup campaigns ever. Messi didn’t fall short; he simply showed once again that even the greatest player in history cannot win football’s biggest prize on his own.”

Since Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20is, here something which I had written something for him few months back:(attaching an edit made by Amit Dubey which I found these lyrics fit aptly on Virat) March 2, 2008 This day holds great significance for Indian cricket because, on one hand, India defeated Australia in their own backyard in the first final of the CB series, and at the same time, nearly 6000 kilometers away, India's young brigade had won the Under-19 World Cup. After the World Cup victory, when this team returned to Bangalore from Kuala Lumpur, BCCI gave a grand welcome to the Under-19 team, and Kumble and Dravid were also present there. Dravid congratulated all the young players and imparted some wisdom. He said, "We are proud of you, but I want you to remember that from the Under-19 team that won the World Cup in 2000, only one member was part of the Indian team that won the CB Series." "What you have achieved is not everything, and your goal should be to win the World Cup one day." The young captain of that Under-19 team was listening carefully , and just three years later, he was part of the ODI World Cup-winning team. But the world had yet to witness the prowess of Kohli - the batter in a World Cup... By the next World Cup, Kohli had established himself among the World's best batsmen, but as in life, achieving everything in cricket is not easy. Kohli and the Indian team ended their 2015 World Cup campaign in disappointment. After becoming a regular part of the Indian team, 2015 was the first year when Kohli scored runs at an average of less than 40! Soon after, Kohli was given the responsibility of captaincy, which brought out a new brilliance in his batting. By the next World Cup, Kohli had scored 18 centuries & more than 4000 runs in ODIs at an average of 85 in just three years... Once again, India entered the 2019 World Cup as favorites and justified this tag, entering the semifinals as table toppers. But like in 2015, both Kohli & the Indian team were left with disappointment once again. Whereas the defeat in 2015 had shown us a new level of Kohli, after the loss in 2019, much had changed. In the meantime, there was COVID, a lack of regular games, a century drought, captaincy controversies, and numerous challenges, and another World Cup had arrived... The batsman who had scored more than 11,000 runs and 42 centuries between the 2011 World Cup and the 2023 World Cup (where no one else had even scored 10,000 runs or 30 centuries in ODIs)... I'm not even talking about Tests and T20Is where Kohli has set countless records. Despite all this, the expectation of "Doing even better" from fans and Kohli himself is the true mark of Virat's success. This "excellence" has always defined Virat, which is why a boy from West Delhi, along with Basu Shanker, trained himself like Olympic athletes and influenced not just fellow cricketers but the entire nation's fitness culture. Kohli's competition has never been with any cricketer, but with himself. Nonetheless, this World Cup was special too. Like in 2011, this World Cup was about playing and winning in front of his own people, and it must have reminded Kohli of Dravid's words once again: "What you have achieved is not everything." From winning the first match of this World Cup when India was 2/3 to sealing the victory, to exorcising the ghosts of 5/3 against the Kiwis in the semifinals with a 397/4, and breaking two long-standing records of his idol in front of him, only to get the biggest heartbreak of his career in the final against Australia... Such losses can break your mental toughness & especially in India where experts judges you even on the basis of franchise leagues,Virat too found himself again " evolving himself" in a format which he had already mastered... He came into this T20 World Cup with a new role & responsibility for the Team which supported by the Captain & Coach... He couldn't performed as per his fans expectations but you can see that willingness to prove that I can change myself with the demand of modern T20 even at final stage of my career... Virat is not just a name but a symbol that signifies: if there is truth in your dreams & strength in your resolve, everything is possible...

A 2500 year-old burial of Celtic Prince reveals stunning secrets... In 2015, a small village in eastern France (Lavau) became famous when archaeologists first uncovered 5th Century BC, tomb of a Celtic prince. Now, the researchers are beginning to finally unveil the secrets of the tomb. The tomb rests in the heart of a small business industrial park. Archaeologists discovered it when they were asked to search the site and ensure no history would be lost in a new construction project. It’s a good thing that they did. After a few months of looking around, archaeologists discovered a large number of well-preserved Greek and Etruscan artifacts. The French state ruled it a historical site and ordered a more detailed investigation of the area. After more digging, archaeologists found more and more artifacts in lower archaeological layers, dating all the way back to 5th Century BC, including jewelry and an impressive bronze cauldron. Upon digging further, they discovered the area’s most significant find to-date: the remains of an ancient Celtic prince laid to rest beside his chariot. Historians are now calling this find is one of the most important discoveries in all of France. Over the past couple of years, using x-ray radiography and 3D photography, researchers have documented the artifacts. These methods allowed them to discover priceless information about how and when the artifacts were made, and learn about their state of conservation. The research at Lavau has revealed just how intricate and beautiful these artifacts were when they were made. The prince was found with a belt decorated with silver threads all woven together into Celtic motifs. It’s a unique object. No other object like it has ever been discovered in the world. The bronze cauldron they found at the site is decorated with the face of Dionysius and demonstrates perfect mastery of smelting and engraving. The prince was buried with all sorts of golden jewelry, including beautiful bracelets and a Celtic torc signifying his social rank. The artifacts uncovered also tell a story of trade and communication between ancient cultures – a pattern that is becoming increasingly prevalent in recent archaeological finds. A jar used to pour wine was buried with prince that is made from Greek ceramic, decorated with gold Etruscan motifs, and silver Celtic designs. It’s physical proof of cultural and economic interactions taking place between Celtic and Mediterranean worlds during 5th Century BC. During this period in history, the Greeks were fighting a war for their very existence against Persia at Thermopylae, Salamis Bay, and Marathon. For a brief time, the Greek city-states put away their differences and united against a common enemy. That clearly didn’t stop trade from happening, though. Greeks were famous for their bronze-work and iconic pottery. Etruscans, on the other hand, were famous for their art and glossy black pottery. Finding artifacts from both cultures in this tomb tells us just how rich and important this Celtic prince really was. His pockets were deep, and he had hundreds of connections. Since 2021, the archaeologists working on the site hope to learn more about the prince’s identity and about the origins of the objects he was given to take with him into his afterlife. This find has given us a vital look into life in ancient France, Greece and Italy. #archaeohistories
