Given how the professional game is structured right now, yes, I believe it would.

No Turks either I guess?

And when I say "disaster', I do not mean "for football". This is a far, far bigger story.

Bull's eye by @pbsportswriter.bsky.social for @playthegame-org.bsky.social. In private, many football and finance executives will agree that a disaster is brewing. But no-one dares speak out - yet - for fear of precipitating a crisis which will come to pass anyway.

Infantino is controversial but consistent - the FIFA boss places football above politics Gianni Infantino is against bans and boycotts because they bring "more hatred." He apologises when jokes misfire, but not when principles are challenged.

"Infantino is controversial but consistent - the FIFA boss places football above politics".

I'm sure Yalda Hakim is a fine and capable journalist, but her understanding of football politics and of what drives Infantino is worse than my grasp of Boolean algebra.

"Osint saves lives"

Is this a clue?

The letters for "Savoie" are in there...

It might be an *under*estimation. Β£500k/day is the figure used by a few sources.

With you. And using "Cristiano" is just impossible.

PA1 is very much under-rated and has some fantastic moments. But brace yourself for "Schoolboys In Disgrace", which I've locked away somewhere random in hope I'd forget its location. Ray is still a genius though.

There's knowing your target demo and then there's the PBS app putting All Creatures Great & Small series 6 behind an ad for a funeral planning company

Isn't this a fake? I believe it is. If so, please delete.

Cristiano Ronaldo strike action could signal end of time in Saudi Arabia The 40-year-old is considering leaving Al-Nassr, having refused to play in game for the club over disappointment at lack of investment in squad

The poor dear, who is on Β£480,000 *a day*, must be upset that Ivan Toney has outscored him this season.

IF A MONKEY randomly
hitting keys on a typewriter
for an infinite amount of time
will eventually write the complete
works of Shakespeare, then it
stands to reason that Shakespeare
randomly twanging strings on a
guitar for an infinite amount of
time would have eventually written
the complete works
of The Monkees.
Is there no end
to that man's
talents?

First, look at who these world leaders are, then draw the only possible conclusion: because Europe is *not* weak, and represents everything they hate, a mostly successul and prosperous social-democratic model.

I guess you could try to make it sound like the coke bottle in "Caroline, no"? Though...maybe not.
