The latest @MezoNetwork tasks is live on @akindo_io , the mezo Buildathon is open to everyone.
Go through this thread, come up with brilliant projects to get a chance at the reward.
🚨There are NO signs of any build-up play, tactics or ideas in possession. Nothing. No tactical identity, no clear patterns, no signs of tactical brilliance whatsoever.
We’re pressing a lot, but Fulham are escaping it far too easily, and then our defence simply can’t keep up with them.
Yes, we’ve created a few chances, but this has been an awful watch so far. Fulham are outclassing us in almost every attack. We aren’t playing 1/10th as effectively as they are offensively.

Afrobeats And Its Links To US Secret Intelligence
Have you ever found yourself wondering why Afrobeats - the joyful soundtrack to the "Africa Rising" era from the late 2000s through the early 2010s - seems to have lost much of its energy and lustre of recent? Does it seem to you like the music no longer belongs to the fans and has become a distant, expensive product that nobody can relate with anymore?
You are not imagining it - in fact the reality of what has happened to Afrobeats is a lot darker than you would possibly imagine. Far from just a fresh music genre that embodied the sounds and aspirations of a new generation across the continent, it has been coopted into the arsenal of the US government's extensive foreign influence and interference tools. In fact, your favourite Afrobeats artist, as incredible as it sounds, most likely now has a handler permanently assigned to them by the US State Department.
In this special report, The Spearhead Senior Reporter Mckay Chukwu examines a story that has been hiding in plain sight for years, detailing the State Department's well-funded cultural interference infrastructure which has been deployed all over the Global South to bend entire populations and their governments toward the foreign policy goals of the US government.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the broke billionaire.
MANCHESTER UNITED
He paid $33 a share. It closed at $20.00 this week.
At a $3.44bn market cap, his roughly 29% stake is worth about $1.0bn on the market. Around 39% below what he paid.
Club net debt passed $1bn for the first time. The $425m of 3.79% notes were refinanced into $550m at 5.36%. Cash at 31 March: £60.9m, down from £73.2m.
A £3bn new stadium, "privately financed" with no commencement date in sight.
Until February 2027, if the Glazers accept $33+ a share for the club, Ratcliffe is legally forced to sell too.
OGC NICE
Bought for about €100m in 2019. Asked €200m. Price cut. US sale collapsed in June 2026. Now needs €40m in player sales just to spend.
INEOS AUTOMOTIVE
Built to make 30,000 cars a year at Hambach. 2025 production came in under 7,000, down from 7,500 in 2024. Two straight years of nine-figure losses. Hundreds of job cuts.
PERSONAL FORTUNE
2023: £29.69bn
2024: £23.52bn
2025: £17.05bn
2026: £15.19bn
£14.5bn gone in three years. Down about 50%. From 2nd richest in Britain to 9th.
DEBT
By late 2025, INEOS Group Holdings and INEOS Quattro carried over £18bn of debt, up almost £3bn in a single year.
Annual debt servicing costs: £1.8bn. Up £600m in a year.
Projected Quattro's debt at 16.7x earnings for 2026.
In February 2026, S&P cut Group Holdings to B+ and Quattro two notches to B. No sustained recovery before 2028.
BORROWING
May 2026: €700m of new notes at 7.875%.
Group Holdings paid €474.8m in interest and finance items in just the first half of 2026.
INEOS QUATTRO
Even in the best chemicals quarter in years, Quattro lost money.
Q2 2026 loss: €34.7m
H1 2026 loss: €66.2m
Debt: €7.14bn
Total equity: €1.82bn
Shareholders had to inject €200m of fresh equity to prop it up.
NO DIVIDENDS
INEOS skipped its dividend for a second straight year. Group revenue fell from €16.2bn to €14.3bn in 2025, and European earnings nearly halved, from €470.2m to €252.3m.
Meanwhile, in H1 2026 alone, Group Holdings and Quattro paid a combined €86.1m in management fees to INEOS Services, a company owned by the same parent Ratcliffe controls.
Cash fell from €2.58bn at New Year to €1.85bn by June.
EUROPE
Antwerp: €3.0bn already drawn on its loan facilities. Start-up pushed to 2027 after the final modules got stuck at the Strait of Hormuz. INEOS is now suing Flanders and taking Belgium to international arbitration over about €1.5bn of claimed losses.
