    Ancelotti Admits Mistake: Brazil's World Cup Exit Due to Tactical Error Against Norway

    Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian national team, has taken responsibility for Brazil's elimination from the World Cup, pinpointing a tactical error during the Norway match as the crucial moment. In interviews with ge.globo, ESPN, and other sources, Ancelotti revealed that he misread the game during the hydration break, believing Brazil was over-controlling due to Norway's retreat and possession in their defensive areas. This misconception led him to make hasty changes, disrupting the team's positioning and allowing Erling Haaland to score the decisive goal.

    RBI Governor Says Indian Rupee is Undervalued

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra has stated that the Indian rupee is 'undervalued' in both nominal and real effective exchange rate (REER) terms. He attributed the rupee's weakness to global factors such as geopolitical tensions and emerging market volatility, rather than domestic economic weakness. The Governor clarified that the RBI does not target any specific exchange rate or band, but intervenes to curb excessive volatility. An undervalued rupee boosts exports and makes imports expensive, which can impact inflation and trade deficit.

Vujović linked this to Montenegro's approaching EU membership, which he believes is causing panic among supporters of imperial and great-power plans.
