Joe Cole responds to Thomas Tuchel’s comments after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina.
🗣️ “I don’t want to hear excuses about facing strong teams. Everyone knew Argentina were the defending world champions before a ball was kicked. That’s not an excuse that was the challenge. If you want to win the World Cup, you have to beat the best.”
“You scored first and then completely abandoned your identity. The moment England took the lead, they started playing with fear instead of belief. It was like watching a small team desperately hanging on instead of a nation trying to reach a World Cup final.”
“You don’t score against Argentina and then spend the rest of the game camped inside your own penalty area. That’s football suicide. You invited pressure, gave Lionel Messi more time on the ball and practically begged Argentina to come back into the match. Against the greatest player of his generation, that’s asking to be punished.”
“The tactical approach was shocking. Instead of going for the second goal and killing the game, England retreated deeper and deeper. Every substitution sent the same message: ‘Let’s survive.’ You don’t survive against world champions you either finish them off or they finish you.”
“Don’t tell me England lost because Argentina were too good. England helped create their own downfall. This squad has enough quality to compete with anyone, but they were coached with fear instead of confidence.”
“The painful truth is England weren’t beaten by talent alone they were beaten by a lack of courage. A World Cup final was within touching distance, and it slipped away because the manager chose to protect a one-goal lead instead of chasing history. That’s a decision England will regret for years.”
"If that guy thinks this is the best, we ain't going to win. So either sack him, or you leave your job."

🚨🗣️🇪🇬Egyptian football Manager Hossam:
“I’ll speak my mind regardless of the consequences. This match was clearly rigged, and the whole world saw it.”
“And one more thing—if they want Argentina to win so badly, why invite everyone else to compete?”
Argentinian spectators spray Egyptian fans with alcohol and raise the Israeli flag in support of Netanyahu to Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan
Is this what the spirit of the World Game looks like?
A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.
The files are embedded into the minds of each survivor.
The millions of files released indicating the actions of those associated with Epstein, are extremely dark and disturbing.
What's equally disturbing is the DOJ is actively covering it up!
