Thomas Frank calls the Club World Cup "ridiculous".

"Who wants it?"

Ultimately Meslier isn’t good enough- and it’s been obvious for 3 years now. Any look at basic stats tells you that. That’s 6 points at least he’s cost us, which could well be promotion right there. Awful

The Saudi 2034 bid book evaluation is no serious evaluation.
FAs should not accept this.

Saudi 2034 would be one of the most polluting events ever, with 11 new stadiums and lots of air travel. And a PR event for the world's worst climate action blocker.

What does the evaluation say?

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

FIFA have given the Saudi bid for 2034 the same 4.1/5 score for its stadiums - despite eight not yet built - as they gave to the Canada-Mexico-USA bid for 2026, all of which are built, many of which are world leading NFL stadia.

I mean, how?

Don't think #StockportCounty's shift toward signing young players with potential for high resale value could have gone any better than Lewis Bate.

Signed on a free after leaving Leeds United in the summer, installed as captain & already thriving.

A genuinely superb footballer.

At the Boulby mine they're burrowing through another ancient, buried sea - the Zechstein sea.
Actually it's even wilder than that. Since most of the tunnels stretch under the coast, they're mining an ancient sea hundreds of metres UNDER the seabed of an actual sea (The North Sea).

2. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

How do we know this? Because it always is. It's the authoritarian playbook. Lawsuits are first. Prosecutions are next. America needs to learn these moves fast. It's already later than you think.

This is quite the clip of Reagan and Bush debating in the 1980 Republican primary about immigration. Reagan says “we need to open the [Mexican] border both ways” rather than “putting up a fence.” Bush makes similar comments. Both would be laughed out of the GOP today. youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?...

Max Wöber is in Kazakhstan today where Austria are in UEFA Nations League action. Injuries hampered bid to play for #LUFC this season with only ~60 cup mins to his name. Even when fit, unlikely to oust Struijk/Rodon. Things could've been v. different.
