I have to thank God for the things He has continued to do in my life. I don't pray that much, neither am I the most religious guy but everytime I spoke to what I wanted with a determination, He moves the forces of nature to assist me...time and time again. Truly, Onye ka Chukwu?
In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
As premiers assemble in PEI this week, Team Canada is coming together and there’s never been a better time to do so.
Together, we’ll stand united. We’ll never back down. We’ll never roll over.
👀 Did you notice? Nico Williams only reached the ball because Nahuel Molina's shove carried him into it... and it ended up becoming the assist.
Oh the irony... 😆
Took the kids to watch Toy Story 5 yesterday and as one of the adult chaperones, I enjoyed it massively. The storyline was genius and didn't disappoint - creating and resolving a rift between toys and tech and the roles parents play in this tech-controlled world.
In case, as a Manchester United fan, you’ve forgotten how Rashford disrespected Manchester United because the club loaned him out.
He posted this on his Instagram to mock Manchester United after getting a World Cup call up and winning La Liga with Barcelona. He’s a traitor. 😡

Every year wildfires in Canada release more carbon dioxide than any carbon capture project can sequester. That's besides destroy communities and businesses.
Instead of investing in wildfire fighting capabilities to protect the environment and Canadians, the Liberals will spend $20B+ on a project that will do neither.
You must understand, it's not about the environment its about engineering a new mechanism for wealth transfer and controlling capital flow. Environment is just the excuse for the headlines.
Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are far from perfect.
HOWEVER
The Conservatives, lead by Pierre, is by far the best option that we have right now.
Pierre deserves a chance to lead the Country

Just got out of seeing The Odyssey.
The theater was quiet. Several people left early. Everyone else left as soon as the lights went back on.
No one clapped. No one talked as the left. No one even smiled.
Those actions speak louder than any review I could ever write.
Jon Bernthal praises Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy in 'THE ODYSSEY'.
"For me, there's no one else in the world who could have done that, who comes with a level of beauty both inside & out that you believe somebody would [go to war for]... I'm just so glad it was her."
🚨💍 OFFICIAL: FIFA to award the winners of the World Cup with championship rings.
It’s the first time in history, following some of the American sports.
30 rings will be made available to the world champions, with a further 1,996 rings going on sale to fans.
United is supposedly talking to a third unnamed midfielder. Who is that?
I have no idea.
⚽️But it’s a bit interesting, if we plugged all available data into a machine with no preconceived notions — I think it would spit out a name NOBODY is linking us to.
Because there is one midfielder:
🔺In the Premier League;
🔺Who played in the CL last season;
🔺Who plays for a club which with we have stellar relationship with when it comes to transfers (3 transfers the last 3 years);
🔺Who we have had concrete interest in, in the past;
🔺Who can play as a 6;
🔺Who wants a move;
🔺Who is fairly experienced and has CL experience despite being under 25;
BUT who hasn’t been mentioned once in relation to United.
⚽️I think there is a good reason for that, this is not some kind of silly engagement farming. “Oh I broke the code”. But — there is actually another point I am trying to make.
Look at it from this perspective — we have Kobbie Mainoo and have signed Yuri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
Now all of a sudden there are reports that we are looking to sign a defensive monster who can cover a ton of ground. This might sound logical — but it makes no sense to me. Because — if — we needed that player type, why have we constructed an inner midfield with 3 players who doesn’t fit that bill at all?
Like let’s say we sign Casemiro 2.0, and he gets injured for 6 weeks. Will we play with a flawed XI for 6 weeks?
No, the only conclusion I can come to is that Carrick is 100% prepared to play with a midfield consisting of Bruno plus 2 of Mainoo, Santos and Tielemans. It wouldn’t be a midfield that is less capable physically or defensively than the team winning back to back CLs.
If this is the case, I think it’s brave. I can’t guarantee that it will work — but it’s exciting.
⚽️So what I can’t help but to wonder — is if we aren’t looking for another midfielder that is fairly similar to the 3 we already have? If not — we are basically flunking our own transfer window.
And no, I do — not — think the player we are talking to is Enzo Fernandez. The player I was alluding to above. I actually don’t rate him that high to be honest.
⚽️I made a post about this earlier in the summer — Chelsea FC’s finances are truly in a terrible shape. I would not at all be surprised if they sold Caicedo for example.
The transfer fee for Enzo Fernandez wouldn’t be an issue — he is on the books for £52.3m and Chelsea would probably take £60-65m to get him off the books. Players earning as much as he is, isn’t going for much more (like Tchoumani or Camavinga).
Perhaps the wages could kill the deal — if we even wanted him to start with. Which I doubt. He is probably on around ~250k a week out of the CL if he plays a lot of games for Chelsea. CFC’s contract are heavily incentivized through bonuses — but it’s not completely tied to CL/EL. If you play a lot you get paid a lot. Players who sits on the bench earns much less.
⚽️But like — if you look at compareable players from a data perspective, one site mentions Elliot Anderson, Andrey Santos and Enzo Fernandez as being the most similar to Yuri Tielemans.
But ultimately — I just don’t think Carrick wants a douche like him. But you have to be impresses with how competitive he is.
⚽️But the reason I started to think about him is the above. Who is out there who fills the same criteria as Tielemans, Santos and Mainoo? Enzo is definitely one.
Angelo Stille is 100% another. But he is very similar to Mainoo/Tielemans. I think we want someone a bit more similar to Santos.
I do like Richardo Rios.
To be fair — Manu Kone also fits this bill.
