Mate, people unconditionally support Israel while watching footage of a soldier blowing a malnourished child’s head off. Israel has massive support, that’s why you see counter-protests and the rich and famous declare support. People with ties to Israel literally fly back into the country to volunteer, leaving family at home. https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/news/denver-man-idf-medic Also don’t know about that chick because I’ve never heard of her but Timothy Weekes was always supporting the Taliban. That reads like some domestic abuse relationship. https://amp.abc.net.au/article/101331834 The only thing we prove here is that people can and will support anything, and support of something isn’t indicative of its righteousness. Because if that were the case it wouldn’t exist all in the first place…

It doesn't matter if they do or don't continue with the Trumpism, that isn't the point. The point is that they are self-interested and without a tentpole they splinter and factionalise, with every drongo trying to replace the leader they'll grind each other out until either the movement collapses and is replaced or someone unites them but only after crushing a lot of opponents and weakening their ally pool. It's taken Trump well over a decade to amass this support not just popular but internal support, it took years of consolidation for even his VP to coalesce to Trumpism.

Trumpism would die with Donnie Dump, no one had the charisma or whatever the fuck he has. It’s a populist ideology built on a personality cult and without the unifying personality it’d splinter and cannibalise itself once a leadership spill happens. It doesn’t have a centralised or codified ideology at all, the only things it has in this capacity are think tank manifestos tacked on as a +1.

Fullbacks aren’t defenders anymore - well atleast for teams that are performing at the highest levels, they are just wide midfielders used for transitioning. Alexander-Arnold has bizarre levels of criticism aimed at him, that most high-profile fullbacks have been guilty of.

Maybe if you chant USA USA USA hard enough hypoxia prevents secondary motor functions.

I have to go with the golden boot winner; Own Goal.

The years of colonial exploitation are over, mate.

I was insistent to @Dr. Gonzo that Kane is a major problem and the focal points of attack need to shift to Saka, Bellingham, and someone like Palmer maybe. Play a striker like Watkins, that pushes hard and fast at the front, he doesn’t even need to necessarily be a goal threat, just occupying areas that open space, Instead you get Saka as a fullback, Kane imitating Pirlo, and Palmer sitting on the bench. Watkins pushing hher gives room to Bellingham to do the same IMO

There is no direction, Southgate just minimises risk and risk is averted when Kane is imitating a sweeper from 1970s.

Gareth literally just gave up the midfield, no faith in his own boys, Shaking my head.

He is the focal point of the attack but he drops so deep to make passes that Bellingham should be making. They erase eachother IMHO

@Dr. GonzoI still reckon my England would have flogged these Spanish flogs. Sorry mate, the FA never reached out.

SBS never had the Euros, right? Just the WC? At least no Craig Foster, Robbie Slayer, and Mark Bosnich post-watch retardation.

Kayo? Who is doing commentary these days anyway?

Chelsea about to make a £50,000,000 offer on Cucurella.

Cole Palmer is such a great player already.

Of course but in terms of philosophy City is a much tighter unit requiring precise execution, making any sort of dip in quality very noticeable. International football just can’t reach than sort of precision with so few games and changing personnel. But that isn’t an excuse for all the football terrorism we see in international tournaments.

Spain have so many riches in the midfield they could field four different sets of personnel and not see a loss in quality. Rodri is great but they don’t lean on him as a crutch.

Both teams looking pretty decent today.

Right wing freaks are always inherently contradictory but they are consistent in their contradictions. Just look at how they fetishise ‘freedom’ but also clamour to restrict the freedoms of those in society that are most vulnerable. Also look at this thread they fetishise the ‘defiance’ of Trump but disparage the ‘defiance’ of the attacker. They don’t even know what they believe in.

So are leftists killers or pant pissers? In a thread of stupid posts you’re making a good case for yourself.

I can’t help but approve of an anti-nonce assassination motivation..

Hope he survives and then dies by slow stomach cancer that moves throughout his body.

We're unfortunately seeing people become more aware of what is happening but giving half-measured and late responses to the growing discrepancy in economic class growth. Frustratingly Australia and the UK for instance finally broke the spell and voted in Labor/Labour governments but sadly these are both Centrist responses to a failed 'radical' economic plan on the prior elections. The people compromised change for a weaker centrist down the line, I'd say this is also true in the USA but the Democrats are just Tories and Libs that have convinced the population they aren't.
