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...

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธRemembering Michael Coleman, R.I.P ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Galway GAA are deeply saddened at the sudden and untimely passing of the former Galway Hurling Captain Michael Coleman of the Abbeyknockmoy HC Club. Michael represented Galway with distinction at Minor, Intermediate and Senior levels. He won an All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling title with Galway in 1983. He went on to play a starring role at midfield when Galway retained the All-Ireland Senior title against Tipperary in 1988. In an Intercounty career spanning over 10 years, Michael also won three National League Titles including captaining the winning Galway team in 1996. His contribution on the National stage was recognised by his selection on three All-Star hurling teams in 1989, 1990 and 1995. Michael also represented University College Galway in the Fitzgibbon Cup as well as being the star of the St. Jarlath's College team that narrowly lost the Connacht Senior B Post Primary Hurling Final in 1981. Michael took great pride in his club and was an important part of the Abbeyknockmoy team which won the Galway Senior Hurling Championship in 1988. When his playing days were over his commitment to the club was unwavering: serving as mentor, coach and officer over the years. Michael was also active within Bรกireoirรญ Na Gaillimhe, a group consisting of former Galway hurlers. Michael was coach with the Leitrim Senior Hurlers when they claimed the Lory Meagher Cup in 2019. Outside of the GAA, Michael was a committed community activist involving himself in many activities within the locality. He will be sorely missed by the Galway GAA community. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Mary, daughter Sinead and son Dara, his extended family, the Abbeyknockmoy Hurling club and community at this incredibly difficult time. Ar dheis Dรฉ go raibh a anam dรญlis Funeral arrangements as follows: Grant me O Lord, a hurlerโ€™s skill, With strength of arm and speed of limb Unerring eye for the flying ball And courage to match whateโ€™er befall May my stroke be steady, and my aim be true My actions manly and my misses few No matter what way the game may go May I rest in friendship with every foe When the final whistle for me has blown And I stand at last before Godโ€™s judgement throne May the great referee when he calls my name Say, you hurled like a man; you played the game.

Keegan Bradley says losing the Ryder Cup at Bethpage was the โ€œdarkest time of his lifeโ€. However, he also would love to do it again and โ€œavenge that loss.โ€ Speaking ahead of the Hero World Challenge, he said: โ€œI have this like gaping hole in my career now that I don't know that I'll ever be able to fill. This isn't something that you lose the Masters, you lose a tournament, I'm going to work extra hard to get back and win. โ€œBeing the captain of the Ryder Cup team is not something you can work hard for, it's just something that's sort of elected on you. โ€œI don't know. Of course I would love to do it again, I would love to avenge that loss, but that's not up to me. That's not up to -- I don't think that's fair for me to come out here and say that. โ€œBut I would love to do it again at some point. I don't know if that will ever happen, probably won't. I think if you ask any losing captain if they would like to do it again, they would all want another shot.โ€ On what the weeks after the Ryder Cup were like for him emotionally, he said: โ€œI mean, the darkest time of my life probably. I mean, I don't know how else to describe it. Certainly, definitely of my career. There's always this letdown after a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup regardless of the outcome because the emotions are so extreme. It's Ryder Cup hangover and you're just exhausted and you're down, you know. That takes a toll on you. โ€œBut there's just, it just was, it just was a tough time. Still is. But to be honest with you, the last couple weeks I've felt more like myself. Getting back, getting ready to play tournaments, playing the Skins game, getting ready to come play here. โ€œReally, it's been tough for all of us; not just me, the players as well. I feel like every time I see a player on the team here I want to just go give him a hug and sit down and chat. But I'm grateful for everybody. I'm in a unique position where I could make another team, which has never been done. I would love to do that.โ€ What are your thoughts on this, would you give Keegan another shot at being Captain in 2027?

Sheila Ebana, Lamine Yamalโ€™s mother, speaks ahead of Spainโ€™s World Cup final against Lionel Messiโ€™s Argentina. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œAs the final gets closer, my emotions become stronger every day. People keep showing me that famous photograph of Lionel Messi bathing Lamine when he was just six months old, and every time I see it, I smile. None of us could have imagined that years later they would meet in a FIFA World Cup final.โ€ โ€œTo me, itโ€™s more than a picture. Itโ€™s the story of a little boy who grew up admiring one of the greatest footballers in history and is now preparing to face him on the biggest stage of them all. As a mother, itโ€™s impossible not to feel emotional.โ€ โ€œIโ€™ve watched Messi throughout this tournament, and honestly, what heโ€™s doing at 39 years old is incredible. Heโ€™s still leading Argentina, still deciding matches and still making the impossible look easy. There is a reason the whole football world respects him.โ€ โ€œBut tomorrow, Messi isnโ€™t Lamineโ€™s idol heโ€™s Spainโ€™s biggest obstacle. My son has admired him all his life, but dreams donโ€™t stop when the whistle blows. Sometimes you have to challenge the people who inspired you.โ€ โ€œI told Lamine to enjoy every second because very few players ever get the chance to face the greatest on the biggest stage. Respect him, learn from him, but donโ€™t fear him. If youโ€™re in a World Cup final, itโ€™s because you belong there too.โ€ โ€œWhatever happens, I know football will witness something beautiful. The little baby once held by Lionel Messi will now stand across from him with a World Cup on the line. As his mother, I couldnโ€™t be prouder.โ€

๐Ÿ”ด Bruno Guimarรฃes opens up on Arsenal's long-standing interest: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "Arsenal tried to sign me in 2020, but I'd already given Lyon my word that I would stay and continue my development there." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Back in 2022 when I was at Lyon, I spoke to clubs like Arsenal but the only concrete offer came from Newcastle. I really wanted to come here and believed in the project at St James' Park." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธI remember telling the fans; "This is my second home. We are making history. Someday, when I leave this club, I want the fans to sing my name the way they do Shearer." ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธOn World Cup: Linking up with Martinelli to score the goal that helped Brazil๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท book our place in the next round was a special feeling. Celebrating together in those moments reminds you why football is so beautiful. But football has a cruel way of humbling you. A few days later, our World Cup dream was over. Defeats like that make you reflect on everything... where you've been, what you've achieved and what's still left to chase. Sometimes football gives you another chance to finish a story that was never meant to end the first time. Arsenal knocked once, but the timing wasn't right. Maybe this time the story is different. Reuniting with my Brazilian teammates, playing alongside Declan Rice, competing for every trophy and hearing the Champions League anthem every season... that's a challenge that excites me. If Arsenal somehow signed Bruno Guimarรฃes this summer, who starts alongside Declan Rice: Bruno or Zubimendi?๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท

A driver says he was given a parking ticket on Southall High Street before heโ€™d even finished parking. Have you got your UB1UB2 discount card yet? Discounts at 150+ local spots for only ยฃ3 a month ๐Ÿ‘‰ link in our bio Dashcam footage sent in shows him pulling alongside a space with his indicator on, and two enforcement officers approaching within seconds. One speaks to him at the window while the other photographs the car. He tells them repeatedly that the vehicle is in drive and he isnโ€™t parked, saying traffic stopped him completing the manoeuvre. The officer says the car is stationary more than 50 centimetres from the kerb, which counts as double parking, and tells him he can appeal. Some context on the numbers: Ealing issued 142,903 parking tickets in 2024, raising ยฃ5.7 million, the second highest in London. In 2022 it was 34,661 tickets and ยฃ1.7 million. Thatโ€™s more than four times the tickets in two years. Since April 2025 a ticket here is ยฃ160, or ยฃ80 if you pay within a fortnight. Worth saying, the officers arenโ€™t the ones setting this. Ealingโ€™s own wardens have been in dispute with the council over alleged ticketing targets, which the council denies. The council also says it canโ€™t legally use fine income as general revenue and has to reinvest it in transport. If you get one you think is wrong: challenge it in writing within 14 days with your evidence, and if the council refuses, take it to London Tribunals. Nearly 17,000 of the 42,000 appeals heard there in a year were allowed, and dashcam footage like this is exactly the kind that wins. Has this happened to you around here? ๐Ÿ“ Southall High Street ๐ŸŽฅ Submitted by @azim_m_a2 #ub1ub2 #london #southall #ealing

Lionel Scaloni on losing the FIFA World Cup final to Spain. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œIโ€™ve lost matches before, but nothing prepared me for this. The moment the final whistle blew, I looked at my players, I looked at my staff, then I looked at Leoโ€ฆ and I couldnโ€™t hold back my tears. I broke down because I knew how much every single one of us had sacrificed to be here.โ€ โ€œWhen I saw Messi standing there in silence, it shattered me. At 39 years old he gave everything he had left for Argentina. Every sprint hurt, every touch carried responsibility, every minute was played with his heart. As his coach, watching him walk away without lifting the trophy is one of the most painful moments of my life.โ€ โ€œI walked into the dressing room and there wasnโ€™t a single voice. Only tears. Men who fought for their country until they had nothing left were sitting there with their heads down. Leo apologized to usโ€ฆ apologized. Imagine that. The greatest player in history apologizing after giving us absolutely everything. That broke me even more.โ€ โ€œI told him, โ€˜No, Captain. Donโ€™t you ever apologize. We followed you because you never stopped believing. You carried this shirt with pride until the very last second. If anyone should be thanking someone tonight, itโ€™s Argentina thanking you.โ€™โ€ โ€œThis defeat will stay with me forever. Not because we lost a final, but because I witnessed one of the greatest footballers to ever live leave the biggest stage with tears in his eyes after giving his country everything he had. Some defeats hurt far deeper than the scoreboard.โ€ โ€œThe trophy belongs to Spain tonight, and they deserve congratulations. But no result can erase what Lionel Messi means to Argentina. He didnโ€™t fail us. He gave us a lifetime of memories, another unforgettable World Cup and one final lesson in courage. Iโ€™ll forever be proud that I had the privilege of coaching the greatest player football has ever seen.โ€
