Achraf Hakimi, the captain of the Morocco national team, will stand trial for rape in France. He is accused of raping a 24-year-old French woman in Paris, and could face up to 15 years in prison.
A Moroccan player makes a throat-slitting gesture while shouting “Allahu Akbar” after scoring a goal, directly enacting Quranic verses about striking the necks of infidels.
They just have to turn everything into their religious war against non-Muslims. Zero sportsmanship.
The #Syriac (#Aramaic) word of the day is ܓܠܐ (glā), "to reveal." Pronounced "glo." Cognate with Hebrew גָּלָה (gālāh) and Arabic جَلَا (jalā). The book of Revelation is called "Galyono." #Assyrian#Aramaic#Languages#WOTD
Best of luck to 🇫🇷 against 🇲🇦. I expect a close match, with France winning 2-1, probably after extra time.
And hey, don’t place your bets based on my prediction. 🤪
People who insist on correcting others by saying it’s football, not soccer, have no clue how language works.
A word is correct because a community agrees to use it. If over 300 million Americans call it soccer, then in American English, it’s soccer. That’s how language works.
