Portugal vs Spain World Cup 2026 Match Today Live Updates:

 Two generations will collide when Portugal’s 41-year-old superstar Cristiano Ronaldo comes face to face with Spain’s 18-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal at the Dallas Stadium on Monday night. Ronaldo, on three goals, will look to silence his critics while Yamal will be eager to burst into form in what has been an ordinary tournament thus far.


Yamal won’t have fond memories of facing Portugal, having being defeated by them last year UEFA Nation’s League final on penalties. In World Cups, this is the first time these two sides are meeting since the 2018 edition in Russia where Ronaldo singlehandedly took the game away from Spain with a hattrick in what eventually turned out to be a 3-3 draw.

Beyond three Cs, the new lexicon of India-Australia ties

Image
 During his visit to Australia in May 2023, when the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Australia was almost three years old, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had characterised India-Australia ties as having entered T-20 mode. He also stressed that the relationship had gone beyond the conventional three Cs — of Commonwealth, Cricket and Curry — and the subsequent three Ds — Democracy, Diaspora and Dosti. As Mr. Modi undertakes his third visit to Australia this week, it would be instructive to look at some of the recent progress in two other important dimensions, the Ds of Development and Defence.

All Indian exports to Australia now have duty free access under the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), benefitting textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, engineering goods, gems and jewellery.
