Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂
African teams for future world cups TAKE THOSE SHOTS! Ivory Coast vs Germany should’ve been 2-2 if they took that shot, France vs Senegal could’ve been a tie or 3-2. You miss 100% of the chances u don’t take so it’s better to take a shot than not take one
Those breaks might be called hydration, but they are actually advertising breaks. Once we see it that way, it's easier to understand why they won't remove them regardless of weather conditions.

Before the 1993 presidential election became one of the most controversial moments in Nigerian history, the SDP and NRC were locked in chaotic power struggles during their presidential primaries. This is the story of how MKO Abiola won.

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.
Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.
Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.
The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.
Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.
That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.
Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.
People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.
