In a report released in May, had Hamas winning by nearly Putinesque numbers, at some point you can safely say they are in support of Hamas and that includes the west bank where the PLO who was charged with governance have spent 40 odd years lining their pockets at the expense of the people they were supposed to govern. Hamas were able to spread their ideology because of the failings of the PLO and now it is basically second to third generation indoctrination. After the 67 war, the territory of the West Bank formally under Jordan had no claimant and remains disputed territory, I don't agree with the rapid expansion and that their needs to be a ceasing of all movement until their can be formal meetings with an agreement on what is "Palastine", that cannot happen under Hamas or any other Jihadi group. You don't start trouble, get pushed back and play victim, it is all self inflicted and the number of militants in Gaza is insane, it is a militant enclave and why Israel needs to now destroy the Philidelphi corridor and the subterranean tunnels going into the Sinai and establish a new line to ensure nothing other than essentials go into Gaza, every consignment gets checked and weapons or components that may make weapons get confiscated. Per the latest report around 3 years of food and supplies have passed into Gaza, but without the UN and Israel not taking responsibility for distribution it is being stolen by Hamas who are holding gazans as media fodder for their next aggression.

Simon Whistler from Warographics did a video on the "death toll" of Gaza and highlighted the the stark differences between one report that went through every death, removed duplications and unconfirmed persons and the death toll is closer to 28000 and that includes militants which make up somewhere between 15000 and 20000 of that number. It is all smoke and mirrors, they are relying on dishonest actors in the media world to spread anti sentiment. Hamas wants the Philadelphi corridor back and withdrawal for a ceasefire, I guess there is going to be no ceasefire then. When Palastinians decide that Hamas is not for them, and make a move for positive change, then there can be talks, there can be no negotiating with a terror group. They are now into the next phase of desperation, executing hostages another war crime that the UN seems to be silent about.

What a goal and result for Italy

Selling hotels to themselves, interesting.

There is no limit on what players can earn, there is a limit on what clubs can pay for wages, thus if they want a player that wants 400K a week, it will mean balancing their finances to afford that player and the rest of the team. It was a shameful outcome that protects a bent system.

Clubs should be able to spend what they want but constraints on wage caps which are proportional to revenue sort of like MLB. That will prevent signing rockstars as you cant sustain the loses on the wages eg: cant load a team with Mbappe, Bellingham etc and pay 500m in wages for a revenue stream that only supports 250m. If a team violates this first offense 1 window ban, second offense 3 window ban, 3rd offense relegation and the club placed under league administration to cut costs

Amein, it only serves to reduce competition and detract from investment. Chelsea just do what they like with no transfer plan and can just glide through red tape

Springbok and All Black games are always intense, nerve wrangling stuff

Hey oh, PSR has got to go

I never expected there to be a fast turn around for Man United. They are paying for bad expenditure and while they had a better window this term, a lot of the signings seem panicky. Signing Casemeiro in his 30s for 70m, Mason "were art thou" mount for 65m and Antony are going to cost the team for years. Man United and Chelsea are proof that if you are not going to get who you want it's best to stand pat than gamble

I am going to guess it is Big Ange

There is a lot of doom and gloom going on, you have no idea. Mostly about the changes atop and a difficult transfer window that has led some to think it is the mike ashley days all over again.

Wasn't a great performance but it was a gutsy one, Joelinton taking on the ball to draw Maddison into him then set up the counter transition with a incredible ball to Murphy who could have gone for goal and chose to tee up Isak for a tap in. Overall we are putting points on the board early even if the performance have been scrappy. 1) Schar returns will give us a better outlet than Krafth who was probably MOTM for me. 2) Tonali looks good and sharp 3) We have 7 points despite not really playing well 4) Barnes is a baller, that finish was mint. 5) Willock's injury is not bad Crying about 7 points in 9 would be deluded.

That Lejuene double was mental, nice bicycle kick then Pickford making a good save behind the line. I can't remember the other game, I am assuming that was during the Rafa Benitez miracle run.

I went away when everton were 2-0 up and cruising, I come back and they lost, how do you even!
