Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is facing another wave of social media trolling — this time after highlighting his grand red-carpet welcome at the Kyrgyz presidential palace. The latest backlash comes after the controversial SCO summit photo posted by Sharif’s office, where several world leaders were cropped out, making Sharif appear more prominent in the frame. Then came another viral moment during PM Narendra Modi’s strong message on terrorism and the need to dismantle the entire terror ecosystem. Sharif’s visible reaction during the speech also triggered a wave of online memes and trolling.

The United States' FIFA World Cup campaign has come to a crushing end after Belgium stormed to a 4-1 victory, but the fallout has quickly expanded beyond football into politics, diplomacy and social media. The defeat has triggered a fresh wave of controversy after Iran appeared to take a veiled swipe at US President Donald Trump. An Iranian Football Federation spokesperson reacted to the American exit by declaring that the world was celebrating "politics' humiliating defeat by football," remarks widely interpreted as criticism of both political influence and the tournament's controversies. Adding to the drama, Belgium's players celebrated with a viral dance before the country's football federation posted the message "Overturn This" on social media, an apparent reference to FIFA's decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's automatic one-match suspension ahead of the knockout clash.
