‘FIDE must punish players’: Hans slams Russia No. 1 Nepo over comments on 14-yo
American chess grandmaster Hans Niemann urged FIDE to punish players for publicly making accusations, especially involving young competitors. His comments came after Ian Nepomniachtchi questioned a move by 14-year-old Canadian IM Aaron Mendes during their Titled Tuesday game. Nepomniachtchi described the move as suspicious, while Mendes went on to win after Nepomniachtchi’s blunder and eventual resignation.“GOAT debate settled”: Lionel Messi shares receipt-style Instagram post after international retirement
Buenos Aires [Argentina], September 3 (ANI): Lionel Messi has added his own twist to the long-running debate over football’s greatest player by sharing a receipt-style Instagram post highlighting his achievements with Argentina.
The Instagram post, part of a new brand campaign, presents Messi’s international career in what could be seen as a bar receipt, with his goals, assists, minutes played, and major honours listed as itemised entries.
The creative campaign uses the receipt as a visual representation of Messi’s remarkable journey with the Argentina national team, turning his career statistics and achievements into a symbolic “tab." sports24.club
Among the honours highlighted were Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph, multiple Copa America titles, an Olympic gold medal and the Finalissima.
The receipt also references the wider impact of Messi’s career, including the millions of fans he has inspired throughout his time representing Argentina.
The campaign does not mince words. Instead of a standard subtotal or tip line, the receipt rolls out Messi’s achievements line by line before ending with a conclusion at the bottom: “GOAT debate-settled".
The Instagram post comes after Messi decided to retire from international football, adding another chapter to the legacy of the Argentina captain.
In 2022, after years of heartbreaks, particularly the 2014 FIFA World Cup final loss to Germany, Messi tasted FIFA World Cup glory, beating Kylian Mbappe-led France in the final. It was his country’s first WC in 36 years and their third overall, as per ESPN.
Before that, Messi had also played a massive role in ending Argentina’s 28-year title drought, securing the Copa America title in 2021 and winning it back-to-back after World Cup glory in the 2024 edition.
Messi had previously announced his international retirement back in 2016 after Argentina lost to Chile in the Copa America final that year, but reversed it, leading his nation to World Cup glory six years later in Qatar.
Messi scored two goals in the title clash and also converted a penalty, winning the match 4-2 for his side after the match ended in a 3-3 draw at regulation time. The legendary footballer appeared in six FIFA World Cups from 2006 to 2026, scoring 21 goals in 34 matches.
He is the second-highest goal-scorer in the tournament’s history, with France’s Mbappe holding the record with 22 goals. In this year’s World Cup, Messi had eight goals to his name and four assists, making him one of the standout performers in the tournament.
This also included his maiden FIFA WC hat-trick against Algeria. He had overtaken Germany legend Miroslav Klose’s record of most FIFA World Cup goals before Mbappe snatched the top spot from him. (ANI)

Mbappé named in kidnap plot: 26 rich targets, gang allegedly run from jail cell
French investigators reportedly found Kylian Mbappé’s address among information on 26 wealthy individuals discovered on phones seized from an 18-year-old suspect. The teenager allegedly continued running a criminal organisation from prison and was reportedly planning kidnappings. Authorities are investigating whether the alleged operation progressed beyond identifying potential targets, with the case still under investigation.IND-W vs HK-W Live Streaming Info, Women’s Asia Cup 2026 match No 7: When, Where, How to Watch India Women Vs Hong Kong Women Live Score, TV Telecast Online
India Women vs Hong Kong Women Women’s Asia Cup 2026 Group A: Harmanpreet Kaur’s India Women cricket team will go up against minnows Hong Kong in their second Group A match of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup 2026 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. The Indians got their campaign off with a massive 94-run win over Thailand in their opening game of the tournament last week.
A win over Hong Kong will almost ensure a berth in the semifinals ahead of their all-important clash against arch-rivals Pakistan women team on Saturday. There were, however, a few concerns for India after they collapsed from 108 for 2 at one stage to 137 for 9 – losing 7 wickets for 29 runs. “We are playing T20s so it’s not that every time we will be executing our plans. There will be times when we will probably not execute the plans as great as we would have wanted to and so there will be a downfall,” Indian bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi said in the pre-match press conference in Dubai on Wednesday.
Indian opener Shafali Verma was the top-scorer in their opening match against Thailand with 64. “If you see, there was a comeback also. They came back really well (and) stretched the partnership at the end. Those important runs were contributed from the lower-order batters, which probably created that 160 mark and then after that, you saw how they bowled in the game,” Salvi said.
Hong Kong, on the other hand, began with a heartbreaking six-run loss to Thailand in their opening match of the Asia Cup last week. Chasing 121 to win, the Hong Kong side ended up with only 114 for 7 in 20 overs.
