The team seek to re-establish its international standing through a structured, physical approach following their absence from the 2022 tournament. Tunisia, led by manager Sabri Lamouchi, enter the match focused on tactical discipline and defensive resilience. Despite a challenging pre-tournament preparation period, the Eagles of Carthage look to the leadership of Montassar Talbi and the midfield presence of Ellyes Skhiri to initiate counter-attacks.

Samurai Blue, Clean Stadiums: The Beautiful Tradition Of Japan's World Cup Fans
Following their thrilling 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group F match, Japanese supporters at Dallas Stadium once again became the talk of the tournament, not for their chants, but for their conduct. As the final whistle echoed, hundreds of Samurai Blue fans remained in the stands, armed with blue plastic bags, meticulously clearing away trash from the seating areas. This heartwarming display has become a signature tradition for Japan’s travelling faithful, symbolising the culture of respect and mindfulness known as "souji." This ritual is well-documented; it gained global admiration during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where fans cleaned stadiums regardless of match results, and continued throughout the 2022 tournament in Qatar. By leaving their sections cleaner than they found them, these dedicated supporters continue to set a powerful example of integrity that transcends the game of football itself.
June 14 Encore! Super Sub Diallo Helps Ivory Coast Celebrate Triumphant World Cup Return - Relive Action
Ivory Coast Vs Ecuador Match Photos, FIFA World Cup 2026: In their historic first-ever meeting, Ivory Coast marked their triumphant return to the FIFA World Cup after a 12-year absence with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Ecuador at the Philadelphia Stadium. Coincidentally, on this very day (June 14) in 2014, the Elephants played the opening match of their last World Cup campaign, defeating Japan 2-1 before later exiting in heartbreak. Fast forward: substitute Amad Diallo broke the deadlocked Group E tie in the 90th minute, curling in a first-time strike from a Wilfried Singo pass to snap Ecuador's 19-match unbeaten streak. Ecuador controlled much of the tempo but fell short despite possessing South America's most solid qualifying defense. With Germany thrashing Curacao 7-1 early in the day, Ivory Coast currently sit second in Group E on goal difference. Next up, they face group favourites Germany on June 20, while Ecuador look to bounce back against debutants Curacao.

SubscribeThe West Bengal Assembly election has once again turned into the country’s most closely watched political battleground. Outlook's May 11th cover—Khela Hobe?—suggests, the contest is not just electoral but symbolic, with Mamata Banerjee guarding her political turf against an aggressive Bharatiya Janata Party . On the ground, however, as Satish Padmanabhan’s reportage from Murshidabad, Siliguri and Kolkata reveals, the election is shaped by far more than campaign rhetoric. Snigdhendu Bhattacharya on the other hand decodes the statistics at play in the Bengal elections. Running parallel to this electoral churn is a deeper national debate on representation, captured in our package on women in politics. The long journey of the Women’s Reservation law. In her column, Dr. Thamizhachi Thangapandian argues that while women have become central to electoral mobilisation, their empowerment must move beyond symbolism. The tension between visibility and power, runs through our profiles of women leaders across the country. Right from Nemcha Kipgen in Manipur, Mehbooba Mufti’s in Jammu and Kashmir, K.K. Shailaja in Kerala, Kanimozhi in Tamil Nadu , Atishi in Delhi and Deepika Pandey Singh in Bihar- who continue working in uneven political terrains. Zenaira Bakhsh examines the controversy around Prime Minister's televised address during elections, raising concerns about the use of state media and the erosion of a level playing field while NK Bhoopesh writes about the election theatrics in Tamil Nadu. Beyond elections, this issue turns to conflicts that continue to shape lives. Mrinalini Dhyani’s report on Manipur captures the persistence of violence nearly three years after the initial outbreak. Seema Guha tracks the uncertain nature of Iran–US engagement while Manoj Kumar Jha reflects on how moments of global tension are increasingly reduced to spectacles. Gurjit Singh analyzes the Gulf situation where conflict dynamics have redrawn strategic landscapes. Get all this and more in this power packed issue of Outlook.

SubscribeJust as the US-Iran ceasefire appears to be holding, electoral battles in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are heating up. The Union government has suffered an unexpected setback: its bid to pass a constitutional amendment linking women’s reservation and a fresh delimitation exercise, has been defeated. This round belongs to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, one of the fiercest critics of the Delimitation Bill . In West Bengal, the exclusion of over 90 lakh voters has emerged as the defining poll issue. Can these two states resist the saffron surge this election season? In a special interview with Outlook, Stalin calls the delimitation a conspiracy to silence the southern states. Snigdhendu Bhattacharya reports an elaborate mechanism aimed at reshaping Bengal’s electorate in favour of the BJP, as part of its all-out battle against the Trinamool Congress. Campaigning in Tamil Nadu is revolving around delimitation and federalism, while on the ground the TVK factor is generating excitement, reports NK Bhoopesh from the ground. Ilyas Mohammad in his column profiles the actor -politician, Vijay and asks whether Thalapathy can become Thala. With Nitish Kumar's exit an era has ended. Asghar Khan and Mrityunjay Sharma trace the trajectory of Nitish's political career and what the future holds for Bihar. Seema Guha taken an overview of the latest developments in the US -Israel war on Iran while K.P Fabian looks at the new geopolitical equations and the social and economic impact of the war. Bhaskar Roy interviews Booker Prize winner David Szalay on his work while Shikha Jhingan turns the spotlight on Asha Bhosle, whose unforgettable voice became the soundtrack of generations of Bollywood films.
