โAfricans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I canโt figure out why our own case is different,โ South Africa captain Ronwen Williams said. โMany Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but itโs truly sad. As Africans, letโs stand for each other, letโs stand together.โ

Jamie Carragher argued that Arsenal doing the double this season would make them better achievers than the Invincibles but not a better team than the Invincibles:
"It's the best achievement in Arsenal's history, no doubt. It's not a better team."
๐จ Arne Slot: โI congratulate Arsenal on winning the league, Mikel and his staff did a tremendous jobโ.
โBut they have been a different champion than last time, it's first time in 30 years 40% of goals had from set pieces!โ. โณ๏ธ
โLuis Enrique said they are the best off the ball in our league โ and I agreeโ.
After the engraving of Arsenalโs name on the trophy on Sunday , they can also include in bracket โ40% of goals came from set pieceโโฆwe will gladly accept it ๐
"Arsenal are a different champion to previous seasons, 40 per cent of their goals have come from set-pieces."
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot discusses how football has "evolved" and credits Virgil van Dijk for playing every Premier League game for the club this season ๐ด
๐จ Arne Slot:
โI did not change our style but teams have changed their style against us. My football is Liverpool vs PSG. That is how I would love to have every single game but you need to have two teams to have an open game of football and not all these things [long balls and low blocks] that donโt make a game of football nice.โ
Mehdi Hasan. Legend. He will use his left hand to guide you into a corner, then deliver his coup de grรขce via a mortal upper cut.
He asked this British professor (Nigel Biggar) if he felt guilt about slavery. Because the professor had written in his book that the guilt was imaginary.
The professor replied to say, โwe can only feel guilt for something we didโฆI canโt feel guilt for what my ancestors didโ
Hasan then said, โso you donโt take pride in Britain defeating the Nazis in World War II?โ
The professorโs brain started to buffer like poor internet. Buffers buffers buffers. He was floundering. You could almost see his brain staggering. Biggar was begging his brain to bail him out. Then he admitted, โI take pride in itโฆโ
At that point, I thought nothing more needed to be said.
๐ฃ๏ธ Joshua Kimmich: "I think PSG was our toughest opponent especially the way they play football. Arsenal is completely different. They rely on set pieces. They love to play the long balls.
Against PSG, it's more a football game. Today, it was not so much about football. It was about game management."

The US has permanent interests, not permanent friends (except Israel).
Syria has the honor of being the longest-serving member on the US state sponsor of terrorism list, there continuously since 1979.
However, Syria joined the US coalition to retake Kuwait from Saddam, and I recall when Speaker Pelosi flew to Damascus to meet Assad. Since then, with the Syrian civil war, it's been a proxy war between Russia and the US to control Syria. It seems the US has won this phase.
Syria was Russia's only warm-water port outside Russia (and Ukraine); now the US is talking of building a military airbase in Syria. Syria is cooperating with Israel, and most importantly, Iran has lost its bridge to the Mediterranean.
From $10M bounty to standing in the White House.
The US military has submitted contingency plans for potential strikes on Nigeria, following a directive from President Donald Trump to prepare for possible action over a false claim of Christian genocide.
The New York Times reports that the US Africa Command has drawn up and sent its options to the Department of War this week upon the request of Secretary Pete Hegseth.
