Israel is a country, with a government democratically elected by their citizens. Saudi Arabia is autocratically ruled by a monarch, who can't be held responsible for their deeds by their subjects. Granted not the only one in the world, yet I just used the first Muslim example that came to my mind.

Nothing to do with an anti-Muslim agenda. There's absolutely no reason to recognize an undesired government that violates the human rights just because you already have recognized another one. Actually they should be thankful, since we help them to follow their religious beliefs, specifically Qran surah 5:51.

They're pretty strong at the moment, as shitty as it is. It's even even foreseeable they might become the second strongest party, if, what's not excluded, they won't not even become the most votes in the three East German regional parliaments, that are to be elected this year. Not as popular in the Western parts as in former East Germany, though, therefore they're polling around 16%. Which is still much too much for a fascist party. Edit: Their parlamentary work has been abysmal, two of their leading figures are suspected to have been spying for China and Russia respectively, they're accumulating scandals like no other party. Still about 14% of the electorate are apparently thinking they were a sensible choice to vote. If it wouldn't be so seriously problematic, it had an amusing potential.

Created an account , they wouldn't let me in to the fantasy game and bombarded me with newsletters instead, therefore deleted said account, will probably try again in a few days.

When was the last time Israel executed the capitol punishment by stoning, again? With all due respect to your opponence towards Israel and its zionism as well as your being Muslim: Comparing Israel with the Taliban, or Saudi-Arabia, while we're at it is ridiculous.

Congrats, curb your enthusiasm, though. Preparation matches don't mean anything result-wise.

Who the fuck said it would be easy to be successful? And there's another interesting question, England were the bookies favourites to win Euro 24? How can not winning it be seen as a success giving this fact?

Disagree on the bolded part, since you play tournaments to win them, the only way to be successful in them is by winning them. England are claimimg to be a big football nation, then fucking think like one, and leave that Olympic spirit "partaking is everything" nonsense to football dwarfs like Bhutan, or Gibraltar.

Bolded part has to be Musiala instead of Havertz, since Havertz scored twice, while Musiala scored three goals.

Bit premature, the bonus round hasn't been counted, yet.

Not saying it was staged, yet can't see how former political assasination attempts constitute that one isn't staged?

Spain 2-1 England

To be fair, a lot of Americans do if the interviews a German TV station did with people passing by in Boston is something we may draw conclusions from.

Will probably join this Sunday. Was kümmert mich mein Geschwätz von gestern?

Thomas Müller has retired from NT after 14 years- Manuel Neuer is the last WC 14 winner still available, now!

Have chosen Burke, it's not that hard to be the best Scottish player in Germany, though. Barry Hepburn eg played 4 of 34 German fourth tier matches until he were loaned to a Scottish 2nd tier and an Austrian 2nd tier club, where he apparently was no regular starter neither. For comparison a German 3rd tier club (us) have recruted 3 players from Austrian Bundesliga, one of them, a goalkeeper, was even a regular starter.

More like Unites's future wouldn't look as bleak, if these teenagers were dumb enough, to choose them over better clubs.

The schedule has been published today: Opening match on August, the 2nd ,19:00 Cet will be 1860 - FCS! @Tommy, please be so kind and unpin the old thread and pin this one instead.
