<p>Portuguese player Bruno Fernandes has slammed the match officials after his side crashed out of the World Cup.&nbsp;Talking after the match,&nbsp;Fernandes said that Argentine&nbsp;referee Facundo Tello should not have been given the responsibility to officiate the match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I don't know if they're going to give the cup to Argentina. I don't care, I'm going to say what I think, and screw them. It's very strange that a referee from a team that's still in the cup officiates us. They've clearly tilted the field against us."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, 39-year-old Pepe also echoed his teammate's statements and added that the referee did not allow his side to play in the second half.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We dominated the game 100 per cent of the time, I think what the referee did today; this is an Argentinian referee. After what Messi said yesterday, it seems there's something very weird. We couldn't play in the second half because the referee kept stopping the game."</p>

<p>"Their goalkeeper was always stopped, only added eight minutes of injury time. After what I saw today, they can now give the title to Argentina.”</p>

<p>Notably, after Argentina's hard-fought victory over the Netherlands, Lionel Messi in an interview&nbsp;took a shot at&nbsp;referee&nbsp;Lahoz who handed as many as 18 yellow cards during the course of the match, setting a new record in the process.</p>

<p>"I don’t want to speak about referees because they will sanction you. But people saw what happened. I think FIFA must take care of this.&nbsp;It cannot put a referee like that for a match of such magnitude, of such importance. The referee cannot fail to be up to the task," said Messi.</p>

<p>Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was blunt in his assessment of the referee and said,&nbsp; "Hopefully&nbsp;we don't have that ref anymore...He's useless!"</p>

<p>Portugal went into the match with an unchanged XI named by manager Fernando Santos. Ronaldo found himself on the bench again. However, unlike the game against Switzerland, Portugal's attack could not penetrate the water-tight defence of the Moroccans.&nbsp;</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022: Portuguese players blame 'Argentine' referee for World Cup exit

<p>With an aim to restore parity, the Indian women's cricket team will be taking the field on Sunday after losing a contest where Australian batting proved too hot to handle for the bowlers. India did not do a whole lot wrong in the match&nbsp;but the Australian side, on its day, is a different kettle of fish.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Batting first, India managed to put up a decent score of 172/5 on board. The score, largely made possible due to the blistering start provided by the opening duo of Shafali Varma and Smriti Mandhana should have posed a stiff challenge.</p>

<p>However, Beth money, Alyssa Healy and Tahlia McGrath had other ideas. The Australian camp managed to chase the total in 19 overs at the loss of only one wicket.</p>

<p>The bowling lacked discipline and incisiveness. Barring Anjali Sarwani, all bowlers went above 9 rpo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though the game may be tilting in favour of the Australians once again, the Indians have the resources in their arsenal to make a comeback. With an eye on the T20 World Cup preparations, India will like to go toe-to-toe with this Australian outfit and hope that home advantage elevates their performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>UK's Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), a data watchdog has opened an investigation into two official World Cup apps over the concerns that Qatari authorities may be using the apps to secretly spy on England fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If anyone is concerned about how their data has been handled, they can make a complaint to the ICO,” said a spokesman of the public body.&nbsp;</p>

<p>English fans travelling to Qatar have been mandated to download the ‘Ehteraz’ and ‘Hayya’ apps to allow access to the stadiums and Covid contact tracing.</p>

<p>However, some security experts are of the view that the app allows Qatari authorities to collect sensitive information which can be used to monitor the fans.</p>

<p>The experts have cautioned the travellers to be extremely careful with the photos, videos or documents that they keep on their phones. Moreover, there is a high possibility that vulnerable groups that remain on the edge of archaic Qatari legislations could be monitored through the two apps.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was a tense knockout game where tempers flared and quarrels ensued on the pitch. Argentine skipper Lionel Messi and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez did not mince words in the post-match comments to settle scores against the Netherlands manager, players and referee&nbsp;Antonio Mateu Lahoz.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Messi hit out at the Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal, saying he felt disrespected by the Dutch following his pre-match statements.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I feel disrespected by Van Gaal after his pregame comments and some Dutch players spoke too much during the game," said Messi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Messi was referring to van Gaal's&nbsp;pre-match conference where the Dutch said he had the anti-dote to the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You will see on how I'll stop Messi on Friday, I won't tell you."</p>

<p>At the end of the match, Messi went towards the Dutch dugout and had a heated argument with van Gaal and his support staff as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Messi did not stop here as he took a shot at&nbsp;referee&nbsp; Lahoz who handed as many as 18 yellow cards during the course of the match, setting a new record in the process.</p>

<p>Messi wasn't too amused by the referring standards and said, "I don’t want to speak about referees because after they will sanction you. But people saw what happened. I think FIFA must take care of this."</p>

<p>"It cannot put a referee like that for a match of such magnitude, of such importance. The referee cannot fail to be up to the task."</p>

<p>Similarly, Martinez did not hold his punches back either as he advised&nbsp;van Gaal "to keep his mouth shut”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I heard van Gaal saying we [Netherlands] got an advantage in penalties, if we go to penalties we win. I think he needs to keep his mouth shut.”</p>

<p>A titan in the domestic circuit of India, veteran left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat has been called as Mohammed Shami's replacement for the Test series against Bangladesh, starting next week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While BCCI is yet to release an official statement, Unadkat's home association viz. Saurashtra Cricket Association has already been informed of the decision. The 31-year-old is currently in Rajkot and awaiting visa clearances after which he will travel to Chattogram to join the team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unadkat replaces fast bowler Mohammed Shami who injured his shoulder ahead of the Bangladesh series. The pacer was instantly ruled out of the ODI series but a slight chance remained that he may be back in time for the Test series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Shami, who is currently undergoing rehab at BCCI's National Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru will take more time before returning to the field.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ban-vs-ind-2022-injured-mohammed-shami-out-of-bangladesh-odis-doubtful-for-tests-reports-539624" target="_blank"><strong>Read more: BAN vs IND 2022: Injured Mohammed Shami out of Bangladesh ODIs, Umran Malik named replacement</strong></a></p>

<p>As for Unadkat, he will be walking into the Test setup 12 years after he made his debut against South Africa in December 2010. He ended with figures of none for 101 as India were bundled into a heap by the Proteas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time, the left-armer was fast-tracked into the Test setup as a teenager, only to not be recalled again. He had his chances in the limited-overs but the Test cap eluded him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For long, voices were raised within the Indian cricketing community to give Unadkat a due for his tireless performances in domestic matches. Unadkat may not have had the most stellar international cricket resume but for large swathes, he has dominated the domestic competition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unadkat led Saurashtra to its maiden Ranji Trophy title in 2019-20. During the winning campaign, Unadkat picked a record 67 wickets which was the most by a bowler in a single season.&nbsp;The last three Ranji seasons have fetched a total of 115 wickets for Undakat in&nbsp;mere 21 matches.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last week, the speedster added another feather to his cap by leading Saurashtra to its first-ever Vijay Hazare trophy title. En route, Unadkat picked 19 wickets in 10 matches, thereby becoming the tournament's highest wicket-taker.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brazil football legend Pele congratulated Neymar Jr. after the latter surpassed his goalscoring record on Friday. Neymar netted Brazil's first goal in the knockout tie against Croatia at the World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I saw you grow, I cheered for you every day and I can finally congratulate you for reaching my number of goals with Brazil. We both know that this is more than a figure,” wrote Pele in an Instagram post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Our biggest duty as athletes is to inspire. Inspire our teammates of today, the next generations and, above all, everyone who loves our sport."</p>

<p>The 82-year-old, however, acknowledged that it was not a happy day for Neymar or the Brazilians as the team in canary-yellow crahsed out of the World Cup on penalties.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Unfortunately, the day is not the happiest for us, but you will always be the source of inspiration that many aspire to become. I’ve learned as time goes by the more our legacy grows.</p>

Brazil football legend Pele congratulated Neymar Jr. after the latter surpassed his goalscoring record on Friday. Neymar netted Brazil's first goal in the knockout tie against Croatia at the World Cup. “I saw you grow, I cheered for you every day and I can finally congratulate you for reaching my number of goals with Brazil. We both know that this is more than a figure,” wrote Pele in an Instagram post. “Our biggest duty as athletes is to inspire. Inspire our teammates of today, the next generations and, above all, everyone who loves our sport." The 82-year-old, however, acknowledged that it was not a happy day for Neymar or the Brazilians as the team in canary-yellow crahsed out of the World Cup on penalties. "Unfortunately, the day is not the happiest for us, but you will always be the source of inspiration that many aspire to become. I’ve learned as time goes by the more our legacy grows.

Pele congratulates Neymar for breaking his 50-year-old record

<p>Brazil suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the quarterfinal contest against Croatia at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar. As soon as Brazil crashed out, there were speculations regarding the future of&nbsp;Neymar Jr - the team's superstar. While many suggested it was Neymar's last dance, the player cleared that he was not closing any doors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I am not closing any doors on the national team but I am also not guaranteeing 100 per cent that I will return,” said Neymar in a post-match conference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I need to think a bit more about this, about what is the right thing for me and for the national team," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before the beginning of the World Cup, Neymar said he was still undecided about his future but added that he will play the tournament like it was his last.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I can't guarantee that I'll play another [World] Cup. I honestly don't know. I'll play like it's the last. Maybe I'll play another one, maybe not. It depends. There's going to be a coaching change and I don't know if that coach will like me," said Neymar.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>How did Croatia defeat Brazil?</strong></p>

<p>The quarterfinal contest between Croatia and Brazil on Friday could not be settled in the stipulated 90 minutes. Deep into the first quarter of extra time, it was a moment of brilliance from Neymar that allowed the Seleção to break open the game via a powerful shot rifled to the top of the net.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The move was orchestrated by none other than Neymar who started as well as finished it. After the goal, it looked certain that Brazil will see the game through. However, Croatia, the 2018 finalists increased the intensity and manage to pin the Brazilian defence back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the 117th minute, Bruno Petkovic equalised via a huge deflection from Brazil centre-back Marquinhos. As a result, the game went into penalties where&nbsp;Dominik Livaković saved a couple of penalties, thereby ensuring his team went ahead while Brazilians sunk to the ground in dismay.&nbsp;</p>

'I am not guaranteeing...': Neymar on returning for another WC after knockout exit

<p>Legendary athlete PT Usha on Saturday was elected 'unopposed' as the first woman president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).&nbsp;The elections were held under the supervision of Supreme Court-appointed retired SC judge L Nageswara Rao. Her election is expected to bring an end to the turmoil within IOA&nbsp;which has been divided into factions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had issued&nbsp;a warning of a possible suspension if the elections were not held this month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>58-year-old Usha's election as the IOA president was proposed last month and received incredible support from the outset.&nbsp;Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, previously the Union Sports Minister, congratulated the athlete on her election.</p>

<p>The Sports Authority of India (SAI) also retweeted Rijiju's tweet. Star sprinter Usha is one of the greatest athletes to have ever come out of India. She has a rich haul of four gold medals and seven silvers at her disposal, all won at the Asian Games.</p>

<p>She missed out on a podium finish in the women's 400-metre&nbsp;hurdles at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics by 1/100th of a second. Her timing of 55.42 seconds in LA still holds as a national record.</p>

PT Usha on being elected as the President of Indian Olympic Association. I also congratulate all the sporting heroes of our country on becoming the office bearers of the prestigious IOA! A nation is proud of them!," tweeted Rijiju. Congratulations to legendary Golden Girl, Smt. P T Usha on being elected as the President of Indian Olympic Association.

"With the warm support of my fellow athletes and National Federations, I am humbled and honoured to accept and file for the nomination of the president of IOA!" PT Usha tweeted. With the warm support of my Fellow Athletes and National Federations I am humbled and honoured to accept and file for the Nomination of the President Of IOA! — P.T. USHA (@PTUshaOfficial) November 26, 2022 × After winning the elections, Usha said, "Heartfelt thanks to my team for their unconditional trust and support." The Sports Authority of India (SAI) also retweeted Rijiju's tweet. Star sprinter Usha is one of the greatest athletes to have ever come out of India. She has a rich haul of four gold medals and seven silvers at her disposal, all won at the Asian Games. She missed out on a podium finish in the women's 400-metre hurdles at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics by 1/100th of a second. Her timing of 55.42 seconds in LA still holds as a national record.

<p>Virat Kohli on Saturday smashed his 44th ODI century, breaking a three-year-long&nbsp;century drought. Kohli brought up the hundred against Bangladesh in the third ODI&nbsp;in Chattogram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The century came after a gap of 1,214 days spread&nbsp;across 25 innings. Kohli had last hit an ODI century against West Indies in Port of Spain in 2019.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli now has 72 international centuries which takes him ahead of Australian great Ricky Ponting. The only man ahead of Kohli now is Sachin Tendulkar who has 100 centuries to his name.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli was off the blocks in a slow manner as Bangladesh picked the early wicket of Shikhar Dhawan and pegged the Indian innings back. After consecutive failures in the first two matches of the series, Kohli was cautious and refrained from taking risks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli had the rub of luck going his way&nbsp;as well. Opposition skipper Litton Das dropped him twice during the innings. The first instance came in the seventh over when Das dropped a sitter at short midwicket off the bowling of Mehidy Hasan Miraz.</p>
