The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Yesterday’s refereeing was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.
For the first 15 minutes, the ref fell for Arsenal’s shenanigans: blowing a foul for every slight fall and every little touch. Then, all of a sudden, he clocked their dirty antics and took complete control of the game.
He stopped buying their silly theatrics: Mosquera time wasting, Havertz falling at every slight touch, Saka wasting time for the corner, Arteta touchline tantrums, Madueke diving. I can go on and on
Arsenal have become so used to getting away with this cunning stuff from Premier League refs that they seemed genuinely shocked when it didn’t work.
I’m glad the referee refused to be intimidated and stood his ground. That’s how you referee a final.
You might con your way to a Premier League title, but you can’t do it in the UCL. Either you play like real men or go home
🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on the Madueke incident (PSG 1-1 Arsenal, UCL Final extra time):
“That challenge on Madueke… come on, it’s in no way a foul! The lad’s gone in, he’s gone for the ball, bit of contact, that’s football!
But what the camera clearly shows is Madueke pulling his arm — he’s wrapped his arm around Nuno Mendes, pulling him down, trying to con the referee and VAR!
He’s dragging him with him! He should be getting a yellow card for simulation, not rolling around like he’s been fouled.
And this is the problem — Arsenal have been doing this all season! Madueke’s been at it, they’ve been pushing the boundaries with these theatrics, trying to buy penalties left, right and centre. That’s taking the game away from the honest defenders. No way that’s a penalty, no way. Ref and VAR got that absolutely spot on!”
