Managed to skip a whole season of #Viaplay due to exorbitant prices and nonsense, but wanted to watch more football this season.
Have seen a couple of games and half of them have been buffering for the the last 15 minutes...
Great service...

The essay, at its end, gives some suggestions about what can be done not only to resist but move beyond fascism. Please do have a read if you have a moment, and please share if of interest.
I wrote this essay in October 2023 on the rise of fascism in Germany. www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... Two nights ago I walked past two new and huge far-right election adverts, metres from where I had witnessed a potentially fatal attack. Two years ago it would have been unthinkable to see them there.
Racism in Germany: The Hatred Is Accelerating
Musa Okwonga moved to Berlin in 2014, one year after the foundation of Germany's far-right AfD party. Ever since, he's seen the country heading in a dangerous direction.

According to reports from fotbolti.net, Gísli Gottskálk Þórðarson is set to join Lech Poznań, with the Polish Ekstraklasa leaders winning the race for the signature of the 20-year old midfielder
Gísli Gottskálk Þórðarson is the other wanted player, but this time by foreign sides. Reports from Poland claim that two offers from Lech Poznan and Rakow Częstochowa have been rejected by Víkingur, with additional interest from Scandinavian clubs.

Another gap filled in the Icelandic photo history! 1992 friendly in Israel. I was expecting the 1991-92 away, but absolutely not the ABM shirt that the women's side used in Scotland. Disastrous for collection goals, but interesting historically.

Definitely a player to keep an eye on 👀 #DDD #Bestadeildin

Will we see him in Glasgow soon?
Danijel Djuric

Great movement off the ball, he can either go in behind, come short to link the play and create space for others, he is also a great dribbler with the ball especially with his pace and power to hold defenders off and get by them

A versatile attacker!
