My take on the Real Madrid first game of the season against Espanyol.
> Bernardo deep position is ineffective
> Valverde needs freedom to join the attack
> We need more presence in the opponent box
> Vinicius is too slow and ineffective
> The team need to be more compact
The girl in the photo is not the same graduate trainee girl. That photo was from his daughter's event sometime last month. I'm surprised y'all are jumping on it. 🤭
It’s fine. When we use the right hand to admonish/caution a child, we must use the left to pull them closer to reinforce the fact that the correction was from a place of love. Distinguished TOE makes great choices. A leader indeed. 🫡
@K3N3_X@PrincePR01 Check most of those El-clasico we lost, Casillas was useless. For him to still harbour hate against Mourinho after all these years, he should stay far away from the club, please.
ESPN's Ryan O'Hanlon was NOT impressed with Real Madrid's summer acquisitions 😳

* José Mourinho
* Yan Diomandé
* Denzel Dumfries
* Marc Cucurella
* Bernardo Silva
* Ibrahima Konaté
What in God's name is going on in Real Madrid. First, you signed Diomande for an outrageous fee then you proceed to Rodri, a 30 years old player with only 1 year contract left for another outrageous fee and after selling Garcia you want to buy another striker. Why sold Garcial?
🚨⚪️ Real Madrid have asked Carlos Espí today to wait before signing with Premier League clubs ready to pay the clause.
Espí, seen as opportunity as Real informed player’s camp on internal talks about the possibility to trigger €25m clause.
Levante, waiting for formal steps.
UEFA has rejected a FIFA plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors after president Gianni Infantino unveiled a proposal on Tuesday to create a $20 billion company running the World Cup.

Real Madrid fans say Lamine Yamal who was born in Spain is lying about being only 19 years old but Believe Yan Diomande who looks like an Ancient warrior of Abidjan is 19 years
🚨⚪️ Thiago Pitarch has suffered a knee injury on Real Madrid first training session.
He’s expected to be out until the beginning of September, reports @aranchamobile.
I honestly don't know what to make of this Diomande's deal. The fee is scary, especially for a player who is yet to make his mark in European football.
@GbengaWemimo It was intentionally designed that way to protect their citizens from being out of good jobs. A job after your graduation is just a perk, not something that was promised. You are expected to go back to your country after your studies.
I INDEPENDENTLY SEARCHED NIGERIA'S BUDGET DOCUMENTS FROM 2019 TO THE PRESENT. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND ABOUT THE PFIPC SCANDAL THAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.
THE NAME DID NOT COME FROM NOWHERE
Everyone is focused on Adeyemi the man. Nobody has gone back to ask where the name "Presidential Economic Advisory Council" actually came from. I did. And the answer changes this entire story.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is not a Tinubu creation. Tinubu's economic body is called the Presidential Economic Coordination Council. He established it in March 2024, inaugurated it in July 2024, and chairs it himself alongside Dangote, Elumelu, the Senate President and the Governors Forum Chairman. It has a different name, a different structure and a different budget code.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is a creation of Buhari. Buhari established it in September 2019 to replace the Economic Management Team that Osinbajo was heading. It had real named members. Prof. Doyin Salami as chairman. Charles Soludo. Bismark Rewane. Eight economists reporting directly to the President with a defined mandate and a legal institutional identity.
When Tinubu came in and created the PECC in 2024, the Buhari-era PEAC was never formally dissolved. No gazette removing it. No Budget Office circular revoking its institutional identity. It simply went dormant. But dormant in Nigeria's government system is not the same as deleted.
That dormant status is exactly what was exploited.
