Norway dare to dream big again after a quarter century of heartbreak
After a quarter of a century of near misses and heartbreak, Norway's rout of Italy in their World Cup qualifier has reignited the country's hope of a return to international football's biggest stage. There was little doubt that Norway were the better team on Friday as they easily dominated Italy in Oslo, pushing on until the scoreboard read 3-0 and taking a big step towards next year's World Cup. For supporters of the Norwegian team, the result has sparked a glimmer of hope in hearts that have been broken many times over the past decades. Norway have not participated in an international football tournament since the European Championship in 2000, which was hosted in Belgium and the Netherlands. There have been many close calls since then, with the margins consistently going against the squad, but now there is a shift in attitude after Norway dominated against the four-times world champions. "I am 100 per cent sure", former Norway, Denmark and Iceland coach Age Hareide told newspaper VG when asked if Norway would go to the World Cup. SOLID STATISTICS Norway are in pole position in Group I with nine points out of nine and a goal surplus of 10. Israel, Estonia and Moldova are the other nations in the group. The Football Meets Data statistics platform gives Norway a 77 per cent chance of winning the group and qualifying directly for the tournament hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Key striker Erling Haaland, who put himself on the scoresheet against Italy, agreed with the statistics. "We are too good not to play in championships. I will play both the World Cup and the European Championship. Not to put pressure on myself but I will," he told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. While World Cup fever in Norway is reaching a point not seen since 1998, when Norway last participated, manager Stale Solbakken, wise from experience, is lowering expectations. "It is a coach's misfortune that I have to concentrate on the next match, so you can enjoy yourselves and ask those questions. I would have liked to say that it was 100 per cent certain but I can't," he told reporters after Friday's game.

Brumbies join New Zealand heavyweights in Super Rugby semis
The 'Canes arrived in frigid Canberra unbeaten in six games, but after a fast start they were bossed by the Brumbies' front-rowers who bagged four of their five tries. Their reward is a semi-final next week in Hamilton against the Chiefs, who suffered a last-gasp 20-19 defeat to the defending champion Blues. Despite losing, the Chiefs still advanced to the semis, and kept home advantage, as the highest-seeded loser under a revamped play-off system. The Blues travel to Christchurch to face the Crusaders, who opened the elimination round with a 32-12 win over the Queensland Reds on Friday. "It felt good to earn ourselves another week," said Brumbies skipper Allan Alaalatoa, who crossed for a try. "We knew it was probably going to take everything we had. I thought it was a much-improved effort from last time we played them." A fifth-minute try from fullback Ruben Love after a free-flowing move set the 'Canes on their way, but the Brumbies quickly struck back when hooker Billy Pollard finished off a patient trademark rolling maul. They exchanged converted tries again before Pollard put the home side in front for the first time on the cusp of half-time, again crashing over after a rolling maul for a 21-14 advantage. The hosts extended their lead six minutes after the break when Tom Wright combined with Wallabies teammate Rob Valetini to slice open the defence. A determined Hurricanes kept bouncing back, but a further converted Brumbies try from veteran prop James Slipper ultimately sealed the win. Grind In Hamilton, Josh Beehre scored a try after the final hooter to keep the Blues' title defence alive. Fly-half Beauden Barrett added the extras in a dramatic finish to a game the Chiefs dominated before being over-run by their fast-finishing opponents, who only snuck into the play-offs as the sixth and lowest qualifiers. Both Blues tries came in the final 15 minutes after trailing 19-6. Hooker Kurt Eklund burrowed over to get the Blues back in the contest before another substitute forward, lock Beehre, stretched out in the 82nd minute. "There's been a whole lot of ups and downs in our season so we've got to enjoy that kind of moment," said Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu, whose side lost five of their first six games this season. "The Chiefs have been number one all season, they've pretty much set the tone. "We didn't want to draw too much on emotion tonight, we knew emotion would only get us so far. I'm glad we were able to grind it out in the last 10 minutes." Chiefs captain Tupou Vaa'i was unhappy his side couldn't knock out a Blues team who beat them in last year's grand final. "Definitely disappointed, I thought we had that game in the bag," Vaa'i said. © 2025 AFP

From India-Nepal's Dharchula To Norway-Sweden: Borders Worth Travelling For
The world is a magnificent mosaic of cultures, landscapes, and stories. From snow-capped mountains to sun-drenched deserts, from bustling cities to quiet villages, every corner offers something unique. But sometimes, the most intriguing experiences lie not within countries-but between them. Borders are often seen as lines that divide. But in many places, they do the opposite - they connect. They tell tales of shared histories, cultural overlaps, and natural wonders that defy man-made boundaries. Some are marked by rivers, others by fences, and a few by nothing more than a change in language or cuisine. So, whether you are a curious traveller, a geography nerd, or someone who simply loves discovering the unexpected, here are 15 international borders that will make you rethink what it means to cross from one country into another. 15 Stunning International Borders That Go Beyond Lines On A Map: 1. India-Nepal: A Border That Feels Like Family At Raxaul-Birgunj, one of the busiest land crossings between India and Nepal, the atmosphere is anything but tense. Citizens of both countries cross over freely-no passport checks, just a warm welcome. One side serves Indian chai, and a few steps ahead, you will find steaming Nepali-style momos. But the real charm lies in Dharchula, a picturesque twin town split by the Kali River. On one side, it is Dharchula in Uttarakhand, India. On the other, it is also Dharchula, but in Nepal. A border that feels more like a bridge. 2. Argentina-Chile: A Mountain-Top Peace Pact At the summit of the Andes between Mendoza and Santiago stands the Cristo Redentor de los Andes-a towering statue of Christ the Redeemer, installed to commemorate peace after near-war tensions. Surrounded by snow, silence, and sheer altitude, it is a place that humbles even the most seasoned traveller. 3. USA-Canada: A Library That Divides A Town In Derby Line (Vermont) and Stanstead (Quebec), the international border runs through homes, streets, and even a shared library. Before stricter post-9/11 rules, residents crossed rooms, not borders. Today, it remains one of the quirkiest and most peaceful divides in the world. 4. Norway-Sweden: A Ski Track Through Nations Skiing from one country into another? Absolutely. In some parts of the Norway-Sweden border, there are no guards or barriers-just snowy forests and crisp, clean air. Ideal for nature lovers, it is the kind of border where your GPS works harder than immigration. 5. Belgium-Netherlands: Baarle's Baffling Border Welcome to Baarle, a town that looks like a jigsaw puzzle made by someone who gave up halfway. Belgian and Dutch enclaves are scattered throughout-sometimes mid-street, sometimes mid-house. Borderlines are marked on pavements, and some homes have two addresses depending on which door you use. 6. India-Bangladesh: The Tin Bigha Corridor Connecting the Bangladeshi enclave of Dahagram-Angarpota with mainland Bangladesh, the Tin Bigha Corridor is controlled by India and opened during specific hours. It is more than a border; it is a tug-of-war of identity and accessibility, wrapped in barbed wire and bureaucracy. 7. Germany-Poland: A River, A Bridge, A Shared Past In the twin towns of Gorlitz and Zgorzelec, a small pedestrian bridge spans the Neisse River. Once a site of wartime division, today it is a peaceful European crossing filled with street music, coffee shops, and quiet reminders of reconciliation. 8. Vatican City-Italy: Faith Flows Into Rome In St. Peter's Square, a simple line on the ground marks your entry into the world's smallest independent nation. Vatican guards stand quietly, tourists roam freely, and the border blends into the cobblestone charm of Rome. You walk from one of Christianity's holiest sites into the art-laden chaos of Italy-without even realising it. 9. Spain-Morocco: The Contrast At Ceuta In North Africa, the Spanish enclave of Ceuta meets Morocco-and the contrast is striking. From European-style avenues, you step into buzzing Moroccan bazaars within minutes. High fences and tight patrols guard this crossing, but the human hustle never really stops. 10. India-China: Nathu La's Cloud-Kissed Crossing Located on the ancient Silk Route, Nathu La Pass connects Sikkim in India with Tibet in China. At over 14,000 feet, this snowy border sees tricolours on one side, red flags on the other, and icy winds that don't care for politics. A special permit is required, but the views-prayer flags, military posts, and the chill of history-make it worth the effort. 11. Brazil-Paraguay-Argentina: The Triple Frontier Triangle At the meeting point of three nations, two rivers - the Iguazu and Parana - form a natural Y. Each country has its own lookout point, marked by colourful pillars and flags. But the best view is from above: waterfalls, green canopies, and three countries stitched together by nature. 12. Haiti-Dominican Republic: A Border Of Two Realities Even satellite images show the stark contrast-lush forests on the Dominican side, deforested stretches on Haiti's. On the ground, it is a bustling space of trade, chatter, and visible differences in policy and fortune. A border that tells a tale of two nations, side by side. 13. South Africa-Zimbabwe-Zambia: Border By The Falls Right where Victoria Falls roars in full might, three nations meet. You can stand in Zimbabwe, peer into Zambia, and if you plan your route, enter South Africa nearby. Rainbows form in the mist, and the thunder of the falls drowns out any conversation, or thoughts of division. 14. France-Italy: Through The Mont Blanc Tunnel Travel beneath Europe's tallest peak in the Mont Blanc Tunnel and emerge into another country. What begins in Chamonix, France ends in Courmayeur, Italy. It is efficient, scenic, and just a little surreal to drive under a mountain and arrive in a different culture. 15. India-Myanmar: The Melting Cultures At Moreh In Manipur's Moreh, the border feels more like a cultural handshake. Manipuri and Burmese communities share markets, wear similar fabrics, and even speak overlapping dialects. Cross into Myanmar's Tamu, and you'll find familiar spices and smiles. It is one of India's quieter, yet more harmonious frontiers. Which of these borders would you add to your travel wish list first? Let us know, and maybe pack your passport while you are at it.
