The white working class aren’t oppressed because they’re white. They are oppressed because they are working class.
They are oppressed by millionaires in slick suits and 5 houses, like Nigel Farage.
Man City have spent about £201 million on three players in the last six months. That's almost Arsenal's entire budget last summer.
First, Arsenal don't get enough credit for beating these guys to the league.
Secondly, we desperately need a guilty verdict on the 115 charges; it's now or never, for the love of the game.
Get rich the hard, slow, but guaranteed way. There are no lines at that counter.
If a good outcome is far enough out, humans discount its value to approximately zero.
This is why opportunity will always exist for those who can endure.
🚨 Daniel Noboa, président de la République de l’Équateur 🇪🇨, A OFFICIELLEMENT ANNONCÉ UN JOUR FÉRIÉ AU PAYS APRÈS LA QUALIFICATION EN 16es !!!! 🤩
« Merci aux joueurs et à l’entraîneur qui, malgré les critiques, les insultes et les mauvais moments qu’ils ont traversés, ont su se ressaisir et offrir cette immense joie à tout le pays.
Demain, jour férié !
Vive l’Équateur. »

Ecuador have probably qualified for the knockout stages in the funniest way. They lost to Ivory Coast, drew with Curacao but beat Germany
Fair enough Ecuador lmao.. 🤣
Note: Tunisia wasn't on track to qualify for the world cup until FIFA decided that Equatorial Guinea's capitan and all time leading scorer wasn't eligible and robbed them of 6 points.
😳🇺🇾 Ojo al lío que hay dentro del plantel de Uruguay, con discrepancias entre Marcelo Bielsa y un grupo de jugadores en la antesala al cruce vital vs España…
⚠️ Hoy Sergio Rochet, Manu Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancur y Fede Valverde pidieron HABLAR EN PRIVADO con el DT para decirle que NO les gusta la forma de entrenar y cómo hay que salir a jugar mañana.
⛔️ Se quejaron de la intensidad en las prácticas, de las lesiones que provocaron en algunos compañeros y le hicieron un pedido especial: JUGARLE CON BLOQUE BAJO Y DE CONTRAGOLPE A ESPAÑA.
🗣️ Bielsa pidió juntar a TODOS los jugadores, tomó la palabra durante 48 MINUTOS MIRANDO EL PISO y les echó en cara que algunos QUISIERON SACARLO de su cargo luego del tema Suárez y Nández, en dos ocasiones.
Además, dijo que él LE ARMÓ LA CARRERA a Seba Cáceres y Maxi Araújo, y que a España hay que jugarle ESPEJO.
Y cerró la charla diciendo que los futbolistas tocados que fueron convocados al Mundial son los que SON FIELES A ÉL.
Increíble, todo. 🥶

Sweden are, put bluntly, really confusing. Especially to Anthony Elanga.
He slumped to the ground at full-time and beat the ground in frustration. He didn’t realise 1-1 was enough for them qualify, despite what Graham Potter had said earlier.

The top 8 third-place qualification in the World Cup is a total farce. The current setup undermines the entire group stage.
It’s not a level playing field when the final round of group games are staggered across different times and days. The teams that play their final matches on later dates know exactly what result they need (or don’t need) because other matches have already finished. Also, many third place teams are playing teams who have already qualified and therefore, lack the motivation.
If FIFA wants this expanded 48 team format to have any credibility, every single match in the last round of groups has to kick off at the same time.
Brazil against Japan is as banana peel as banana peels come.
Japan will give Brazil all manner of problems and may even eliminate them. Technically, they look more coherent in their play.
I'm not sure that's an opposition Brazil will fancy at that stage of the competition.
Individual brilliance may well save the day, but Brazil will work their socks off if they hope to make any thing from that game.
Netherlands against Morocco is a very interesting fixture too, not least because of the links between both countries.
Moroccans are one of the largest minority ethnic groups in the Netherlands. Their football currently is probably on the same level.
That's another exciting game to look forward to.
It's crunch time.
