I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹
In 1988, Arsène Wenger discovered George Weah while he was playing for Tonnerre Yaoundé in Cameroon 🇨🇲 and arranged his £12,000 transfer to Monaco.
At the time, Paul Biya was the president of Cameroon.
Years later, George Weah became the president of Liberia 🇱🇷, left office, while Paul Biya is still the president of Cameroon.
🚨I grew up in the era where Luis Nani was seen as “mid,” and now I’m expected to rate Sancho, Antony, and Garnacho?
Nani was a hard-working, useful player who still got hammered for “inconsistency” (and yeah, sometimes he was). Nobody cared about his confidence, whether he needed an overlapping full-back, or if he was better as an inside forward.
In 2010/11, he put up 28 G/A in 33 PL games as a midfielder and still got slated as the most inconsistent player in the squad.
Now, players with worse numbers get a laundry list of excuses. Standards have fallen, but it’s no shock — most United fans online have never even seen us win the league. #MUFC

Guys, this is insane.
Magdeburg are TOP of the table in 2.Bundesliga with ZERO home wins.
They the only team in the league without home wins.
And they are the leaders.
Statistically, the chances of that happening are zero.
In the shadows of communist-era Czechoslovakia, a quiet rebellion was underway. Whispers, quick handshakes, and a single word — “vexl” — were the tools of trade for the veksláci, the underground currency traders who defied a broken system. 🧵1/10
