🚨Malick Yalcouyé on Declan Rice.
🗣️ I used to have huge respect for him but not after what he did today. He thinks he can do anything on the pitch and go scot-free because the referee will overlook it as usual.
He clearly kicked me without making any contact with the ball. Then he came straight to me and said " you're lucky I didn't break your feet young baldie!
For me that's an attitude of a sore loser because he was so pained to see his team losing 3-0 to us while still playing tough.
Arsenal are the PGMOL most protected team and their players are now beginning to believe they can hurt other players without being punished.
@lankaweporak@Nsukka_okpa@afzalrazik27 It’s a dark day for humanity and for football. Let it be, come 30th we can laugh back.
Come World Cup and we can all forget about it. Thank God this year is the World Cup.
Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
BREAKING: Manchester City appear to have secured a potentially significant victory in their legal battle with the Premier League after a vote on APT rule amendments was dropped from today’s meeting. Points to wider implications for the rules. More to follow on @TimesSport
Before making any structural changes across all sectors, the economy needs to be stabilised. For this, the govt intends to continue with the IMF program & proceed with the debt restructuring, with the aim of achieving debt sustainability as soon as possible -President #AKD
“The voters of Sri Lanka will have to choose between Anura Kumara Dissanayaka (AKD), who is promising a Sweden-like welfare state, Sajith Premadasa, who is riding high on populism, Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is promising a stable economy and prosperity in the future”

When I kept saying it was possible to provide a middle class tax relief the government said no that can’t. When we tabled calculation in @ParliamentLK they laughed. When we presented it in the #Blueprint3 now suddenly it is possible. Anyway glad our efforts have borne fruit.
