The consequences of media failure. From a relative in the US (and no, she’s not one of Trump’s “coastal elites”):

“Feels like I’m watching everything bad happen and we’re all just going about things like nothing is wrong…It’s absurd to watch history try and start repeating itself.”

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times

Bradley Carnell has arrived as Jim Curtin's replacement at Philadelphia Union. What do we know about Carnell, his style of play, and the current state of the Union roster?
A full breakdown of Carnell and the current state of the Union:

It should be an actual rule to have a one-paced run-up that always starts from behind the penalty area. Stuttering = indirect FK to the defending team.

I'd also add that the player that wins the penalty has to take it. If it's a hand ball then the taker is the last to touch it before the foul.

Spoke on Khusanov in the summer as one to watch at the Olympics! (That was the last video on Just Another Football Podcast before shifting to Arabic content)
Strong tackler, covers lots of space very quickly. Exactly what City need.

More incl. Bard, McGlynn & Almada👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4D2...

Pretty amazing that after their botched broadcast Tyson v Paul they're still getting rights to other sports left right and center.

- Get VVD on the right side of defense and sub Szoboszlai for Endo
- Outswinging corners are a bad idea most of the time
- Weird weird weird game, probably not much chance of coming back here, I'd take a point

Mohamed Salah has now played exactly as many games for Liverpool as Thierry Henry did across his legendary eight-year stint at Arsenal.

And the numbers are remarkably similar. Up there with the all-time greats 🇪🇬👑

To be clear here: Even if they announce contracts for all 3 this morning, the stain is just as big. The stain grows darker and nastier every day they aren't signing.

I honestly can't believe it. The best 3 in their positions in the world, all at the same club, all so far allowed to leave on frees.

FSG not offering contracts to Salah, Trent, and Van Dijk yet on December 5 is one of the massive permanent stains on their time at Liverpool. It's nothing less than negligent.
