Colombia have secured their spot in the quarter-finals, leading Group D with six points from their first two games. Brazil sits comfortably in second place with four points. Costa Rica and Paraguay bring up the rear, with one and zero points respectively. Paraguay’s hopes of advancing have been dashed after consecutive losses. The match sprung to life from the first whistle, with Vinicius’ pace and trickery causing havoc for Paraguay down the left flank. This was a marked improvement from his lackluster performance in Brazil’s goalless draw against Costa Rica, where he struggled to make an impact. Brazil dominated the early exchanges, but it was Paraguay who came closest to opening the scoring in the 15th minute. Damian Bobadilla’s effort took a wicked deflection off Eder Militao, forcing a quick reaction save from Alisson Becker to keep the scores level. The game took a turn in Brazil’s favor when they were awarded a penalty for a handball in the 28th minute. However, Lucas Paquet

Exploring Hanoi is an enchanting experience, and there are many ways to discover the city’s allure. Whether by cyclo, electric car, double-decker bus, or self-drive hire car, each mode of transportation offers a unique perspective. However, the best way to truly immerse yourself in the charm of the city is on foot. Walking tours in Hanoi provide a relaxing and meditative experience, allowing visitors to wander through the medieval streets and absorb the peaceful atmosphere. One can almost imagine themselves transported back in time as they stroll through the capital. Visitors to Hanoi are often captivated by the simple pleasures and beauty of the city, such as a chilly morning on Phan Dinh Phung Street, where golden rays of sunlight dance through the leafy canopy.

Colombia sits atop their group with an impressive six points from their first two games, leading Costa Rica and Brazil, who have one point each. Paraguay brings up the rear with zero points and will face Brazil later today. ‘Los Cafeteros’ are on a remarkable run of form, having secured ten consecutive victories and an unbeaten streak of 25 matches. With their sights set on their first Copa America title since 2001, they look unstoppable. Nestor Lorenzo’s squad could potentially secure their top spot in the group if Brazil and Paraguay draw later today, which would spare them from a likely quarter-final clash with Uruguay. Even if that doesn’t happen, a draw in their final group game against Brazil on Tuesday will likely be enough to see them through. Costa Rica, despite their loss, still has a chance with one point. However, they need to win their last match against Paraguay and hope for favorable results in other games. Colombia dominated from the start and took the lead in the

In the 111th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Modi shared an audio clip from a radio program broadcast in Kuwait, highlighting the strong cultural ties between India and Kuwait. The program, aired in Hindi every Sunday, showcases the vibrant Indian culture and has gained popularity within the Indian community in Kuwait. PM Modi expressed his gratitude to the Kuwaiti government for this initiative, stating, “I heartily thank the Government and people of Kuwait for taking this wonderful initiative. It is a matter of pride for every Indian to see our culture being celebrated on a global stage.” The first-ever Hindi radio broadcast in Kuwait commenced in April, and it has since become a platform to discuss Indian films and art, connecting with the Indian diaspora in the country.
