We wake up to a lot of good things today. It’s Friday, a long week has come to an end and the football ruckus in France starts tonight! The world is eagerly awaiting a month of tasty ties and some heavyweight matches. There will be a lot of support, a lot of real supporters and a million dreamers. 

Presently it's alright to like and cheer your group, it's another to be sensible about their odds. While you may truly imagine that Germany will do the 'Global Double', or that Rooney will at long last lead England to something (anything!), you may need to get your trusts down.

Here is a dissection of the contenders and how your favourite team is doomed to failure. Your unrealistic expectations, of the top contenders lifting the Euro, end here. 

Team France, the hosts, the shining star of the next generation of football, is delectable to look at. Likes of Paul Pogba, Martial, Kante all set your heart aflutter. So it is really disappointing to see Koscielny and Rami in the back. See the main flaw here is while people like Evra can still go at a world class rate, it’s been a while since France had a rock at the back. Someone like a Lewandowski or Vardy on their day can dismantle this French B Defence. When they come across a team that realises that these men can be rather easily exploited if you just nip at them, the game is over. There’s no Hummels or Ramos at the back, who marshalls the troops from the back. It’s a shame Varane is injured, at least his pace and timing are among the best. 

Spain has rather lost its force. That is the primary thing that runs over when you consider the greatly embellished group. Pre-2014, they had ruled the world football like no other. It began with Luis Aragones and after that with Pep mavericking Barca, the tiki-taka got fused with exact results. What's more, now as I keep in touch with this, Spain has quite recently lost to Georgia in a worldwide amicable match. Losing right on time in a competition isn't different to them however, they lost to Switzerland in South Africa at the 2010 Fifa World Cup. In any case, with any semblance of Xavi maturing, and any semblance of Fabregas not by any stretch of the imagination topping off that void, it feels like the brilliant age has hit its crescendo. Manor is gone, Torres is a swan tune away and the youthful felines haven't generally ventured up. Morata is a hit in an alliance where Evra has recently won the Scudetto. With Iniesta and co. at the end of their life, it appears this is a competition where a star may report himself in Koke or Thiago or even Morata. On the other hand it's a tribute to one of the best sides ever and it's a great opportunity to say farewell.

The German squad is like a well-oiled machine, efficient and sleek; that just looks like Thomas Mueller up front. Seriously how does he score?! He is one of the most prolific strikers in Europe and it just baffles the lot of us. He looks like the waterboy had to be the 11th man because the reserves were all injured. Anyway, it’s what’s behind him that matters. The Germans are the favorites, after all, and have players at the right peak and playing at the right positions. The likes of Bastian, Gotze, Ozil, Kroos all make a legendary midfield and further back you have Boateng and Hummels as the foundation. And then there is Michael Neuer. It’s hard to find a spot but there is one, and it takes us back to the handsome Thomas Mueller. If he is shut down or injured then you have an over-the-hill Mario Gomez, and the ghost of Lukas Podolski. By any stretch of imagination, a squad like Spain or even France could handle those two at their mid-30s. 

See I’m a fair man, I live by fair rules. So I am graciously putting my team through the ropes as well. I support England and here is why they won’t win. The reason won’t be enthusiasm and passion because we are just past the most inspiring and storied-EPL ever! This is better than Rooney or Aguero scoring for the two Manchester clubs. This is a Cinderella story like no other. The likes of Vardy and the Leicester gang have now their names etched in the history books for their heroics this season. Equally buoying was Tottenham’s performance. Boasting of young, spirited English talent, Spurs rose through the ranks to clinch at the third position. All this passion and bravado pumping through… and that’s the Achilles. The tournament is won by precise, discipline execution (a la Greece 2004) as much as sparkling team play. England have a lot going for them, but a cool and calm Germany can easily pick them off, frustrate them, and go in for the kill.

The disturbing gatherings have at the end of the day rejected the administration call to resume exchange to determine the political stop, saying that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli "is not genuine" about tending to their requests.

The government on Sunday wrote to the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM), claiming that “it is eager to resolve the present deadlock”.

The Morcha had earlier declined three invitations from the government.

The Morcha and Janajati strengths, which have shaped the Sanghiya Gathabandhan, are at present organizing a hand-off craving strike in Khula Manch as a component of their Kathmandu-driven dissent.

They have accused the government of creating media buzz rather than working to break the stalemate.

Leaders of the agitating parties say there is no possibility of dialogue unless their three preconditions-withdrawing cases against their cadres, declaring those killed during Madhes protests martyrs and providing treatment expenses to those injured during the protests—are addressed.

"Months have gone subsequent to the administration guaranteed to address [our] concerns, yet no advancement has been made as such," said Hridayesh Tripathi, bad habit seat of the Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP). "By what means would we be able to believe the legislature?"

As many as 55 people, including nine security personnel, were killed and scores were injured during the five-month-long Tarai protests led by the Morcha.

Though the government in the second week of March released Rs 3.1 million for the treatment of those injured during the protests and provided Rs 1 million each to the families of those who died during the protests, the agitating parties have claimed that the money is yet to reach the victims.

The disturbing gatherings are likewise not content with the administration for welcoming just the Morcha, and not the Sanghiya Gathabandhan, for talks. The administration's Sunday's letter is likewise tended to the Morcha, which is an organization together of seven Madhes-based gatherings.

There are altogether 29 parties in the Sanghiya Gathabandhan and leaders are demanding that the government invite all these parties, not only those Madhes-based parties which are in the Morcha.

“The government should invite all the parties under the Gathabandhan if it indeed is willing to hold dialogue,” said Ashok Rai, senior leader of the Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum-Nepal. “We will take a formal decision about the government letter after our meeting,” he added.

The agitating parties have so far held as many as 36 rounds of talks, but without any progress.

The Gathabandhan leaders have long been accusing the government of not being serious about holding serious talks to resolve the crisis facing the country.

Going to British Prince Harry has chosen to amplify his stay in Nepal for six more days. He was planned to leave Nepal on Thursday. 

In his discourse before wrapping up his official voyage through Nepal, Prince Harry declared he'll be staying in the nation for the following week to deal with a seismic tremor help venture. "The general population I have met and the magnificence of this nation make it difficult to take off. Thankfully anyway, I'm not leaving just yet," he said in his discourse.

"I really hope that everyone who took an interest in the tour can see Nepal is a country you really have to come and visit," the British Prince said in a twitter post of Kensington Palace. "But most of all you have to come to meet the Nepali people. I've rarely in my life felt so welcomed as I have over the last few days."

"You have to come and see world heritage sites like Patan Durbar Square and be inspired by Nepal's history. You have to come to see beautiful Bardia National Park. The work there is an example of how the conservation battle can be won," said the British Prince during a programme at British Embassy in Kathmandu.

I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google.

While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometres without human commands!

“You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this.” Google co-founder, Sergey Brin said. However, innovation is an achievement, consumerization is the headache, as Google currently face the challenge to forge the system into an affordable gem that every worker with an average salary could benefit from.

Badlapur has developed as a decent achievement of the season. After a progression of fizzled movies after a long time, industry was getting anxious and there was a robust believed that the following huge achievement would come up when the World Cup finals. On the other hand, exactly when it appeared like a sad situation, an Adult evaluated film like Badlapur hit the screens and wound up developing as a beneficial endeavor for all included.

On the off chance that the weekend was great, the weekdays stayed steady too, subsequently bringing about around 37 crores coming in toward the end of the week. Presently these are great results without a doubt for the Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer as one would have expected an aggregate like this to be earned amid the film's lifetime run, thinking of it as' dim and exasperating subject. In any case, now that the film has been acknowledged by the crowd, and there is very little rivalry in next couple of weeks either, 50 crore is a given for Badlapur.

With this, Varun Dhawan has now kept his record in place and is currently the main young person from his era to score four straight victories consecutively, what with Student of the Year, Main Tera Hero and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya being acquiring issues too.

With respect to Irrfan Khan's Qissa, there was zero buzz around its discharge and vanished without making any clamor at all.

 Ireland put the world in the cup as the obliging West Indies sleepwalked to an embarrassing - does it embarrass them anymore, though? - defeat during which only Darren Sammy and Lendl Simmons seemed awake in rescuing them from 87 for 5. The West Indies bowling was as flat as their top order as the adventurous Paul Stirling, smooth Ed Joyce and nerveless Niall O'Brien coasted to the target of 305 efficiently and without any anxiety despite a late wobble that came too late. Fittingly the most compelling story played itself out in Nelson, whose population is 45000 and whose cricket ground, the Saxton Oval, holds a maximum of 6000.

There was immense joy as Ireland's discipline and nous stood in a two-finger salute to the administrators' plans to keep them and other smaller cricket teams out of the World Cup. There was grief too as West Indies showed for the most of the match a lack of application, fight and cricketing smarts. It was almost as if they had a long night out in Nelson but forgot to invite Sammy and Simmons. Only rarely do two men win matches against teams that maximise their resources as Ireland do.

Successful 300 chases in World Cups

    Ireland 329 for 7 v England in 2011
    Sri Lanka 313 for 7 v Zimbabwe in 1992
    Ireland 307 for 4 v Netherlands in 2011
    Ireland 307 for 6 v West Indies in 2015
    England 301 for 9 v West Indies in 2007

It doesn't matter that Sammy posted the highest score by a No. 7 in World Cups - 89 off 67, it doesn't matter that the 218 their lower half added was the second-highest in ODI history, it doesn't matter that Simmons accelerated from 26 off 44 to 102 off 84. What mattered was that this was a flat pitch with boundaries hard to defend, and that they didn't have the bowling to defend. Stirling and Joyce showed them how to do it, letting at no point in the chase the asking rate go beyond 6.64. This was no upset; there were 25 balls to spare when the match finished. This was a clinical defeat of a team that could not look less interested even if it tried.

The Ireland attack is made up of quicks who bowl in the mid-120s and spinners who don't turn the ball. They rely on accuracy and tenacity and clever changes of pace. West Indies have some of the biggest hitters going around who make millions through Twenty20 freelance. This was a small ground. Ireland's industrious scrappers could have come unstuck at any point of time, but by the time that happened West Indies had decisively dug themselves a hole too big through woeful shots and attitude.

Sammy, Mooney fined for inappropriate language

West Indies allrounder Darren Sammy and Ireland bowler John Mooney have been fined 30 per cent of their match fees for breaching the ICC code of conduct during their World Cup match in Nelson. Chris Broad, the match referee, found both players guilty of violating Level 1 Article 2.1.4 of the code, relating to "language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting".

According to an ICC release, Sammy was heard using inappropriate language during the 34th over of the West Indies innings, while Mooney "swore several times when a fielder dropped a catch in the 45th over".

Both players admitted their offences and accepted the fines imposed on them.

Take a look at the replays from the umpire's point of view during West Indies' first innings. None of their non-strikers backed up. They avoided singles with the faithfulness of committed men. And then take a look at the wickets. Only two fielders are allowed outside the circle in the first 10 overs. When one of them is at long-on, it takes some special skill and thinking to hit a catch down his throat. You'd venture a batsman with such skill and thinking won't be averaging more than 20; Dwayne Smith averages 19 and scored 18 here. Later in that over, Darren Bravo, possibly the worst runner going around in international cricket, took some time taking his eye patch off and registered the first diamond duck of this World Cup.

Chris Gayle played his slowest innings against a non-Test-playing nation, 36 off 65, before holing out to deep midwicket. When Marlon Samuels was caught plumb later in the same over, he proceeded to display self-indulgence by wasting a review. Denesh Ramdin went on to sweep without getting outside the line and missed. There would have been a lesson in there for Samuels had Ramdin actually got outside the line and missed out on the review, but West Indies until then were too woeful for that.

There was redemption in the air for Ireland spinners. Andy McBrine, the offpsinner chosen ahead of Craig Young and Alex Cusack, known better for his 24-run over in their rout by Netherlands in the World Twenty20, turned the screws on. He began with a maiden to Gayle before running Bravo out. George Dockrell, the other spinner who was bowled for only three overs in Ireland's defeat to West Indies in the last World Cup, then handcuffed the other big hitters and took the three wickets in the middle overs.

The last of the wickets brought Sammy and Samuels together in the 24th over. Sammy and Sameuls batted sensibly for their 154-run stand in 21.1 overs. Sammy reiterated what a grave mistake it was to strip the ODI captaincy of him. West Indies took 167 off the last 15 overs, but the telling comment was made by the centurion Simmons in a spot interview. He said they would have ideally wanted 340 on this surface.

The words rang true from the time William Porterfield and Stirling began to hit boundaries early in the chase. Stirling wore one on the head early in the piece, but hooked the next bouncer for a six. There was emphasis on bowling short, and there was limited success enjoyed by West Indies with that. However, the wicket of Porterfield fell to Gayle's part-time offspin. That hardly broke the momentum as Joyce and Stirling flowed smoothly. Stirling took the odd risk, but Joyce hardly made a mistake.

There was a ruthlessness to how the two went about the chase. There had been a relatively quiet phase when Kemar Roach came back to bowl the 23rd over. The asking rate was at its highest at this point, but Roach's three overs earlier had gone for 26. Stirling just took him on. The first ball he slogged over midwicket for six. The third he pulled for four. The pressure had dissipated. In the next over Joyce went after Sammy, hitting him for three fours. West Indies went back to Jerome Taylor in the next over, and Stirling hit him out of the attack too, taking 18 off the over.

The ask was now down to less than a run a ball, and now the only question was if there would be an icing with centuries to both. They weren't to be. Stirling fell eight short, Joyce 16, but ever the scrapper, Niall O'Brien made sure there were no major stutters with an unbeaten 79 off 60. The biggest icing, though, was that of the five successful chases of 300 in all World Cups, three have been delivered by Ireland, two of them against Test nations. Still want to keep them out?
