wasn't much of a looker imo, kind of like Portugal Slovenia, but here turkey managed to score from 2 set pieces, then it was just Austria squeezing them in and not being able to make much happen in the box.
poor set-piece defending and Baumgartner not being able to score in a brotherl with a sack full of cash ended Austria's Euros
Doing evil things =/= fascism.
Fascists do evil things, so do others.
I think this is the best video on fascism https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng?si=Bfyx8qpyz9EbuFQX
I don't disagree that fascism has been part of the US always but it has been everywhere, it never went away, but it really came out with trump whether you think Trump is a fascist or just a useful idiot/ opportunist capitalist is up to debate imo. But his following has a large group of fascists.
They worship trump to an almost religious degree, they use fascist symbolism, they are predominantly white and believe they have a right to rule and be on top just because, they accept minorities and some lgb (not T) people as long as it lets them get into the position of power, then turn on them ( as seen by the many leopardsatemyface posts about gay republicans)
Fascism is a specific political ideology that has some telltale signs not just a collection if evil deeds, what's the point of using words if we bend the definition to whatever we want to say?

Manchester United are working to appoint Christopher Vivell on an initial short-term basis to help with the summer transfer window.
It is the latest step being taken by the Old Trafford club to build out their sporting structure under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Previously employed by RB Leipzig and most recently Chelsea, Vivell will lend expertise around talent ID and player recruitment.
Any appointment would come a year after his separation from Chelsea amid a reorganisation under co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
The 37-year-old German would bring with him to United a knowledge of operating in a multi-club model, which is expected be explored by the new-look hierarchy going forward.
United confirmed on Monday a deal to appoint Dan Ashworth as their new sporting director after reaching an agreement with Newcastle United.
He will report into Omar Berrada, another new arrival, who will start work as CEO later this month after joining from Manchester City.
Jason Wilcox, formerly of Southampton, has already started in the position of technical director.
Vivell joined Chelsea as technical director in December 2022 before leaving Stamford Bridge in July 2023.
I was at least personally invested in the Slovakia game so that was exciting even if heartbreaking
I think most people fell asleep during this. or rather during the france belgium game and are still asleep

game is fought to decide once and for all where the french fry comes from.
I think it's stupid to say they have always been fascist, but people definitely don't grasp what fascism is, they think it's people marching in nice grey uniforms on the street and concentration camps out in the open and if you try to call anything that's not that they call you stupid and overreacting
The swiss will absolutely dismantle this English team if Southgate lines up the same team
Heartbreak for us. england did not deserve to go through, will be painful for strelec regretting not scoring that gift from bellingham from the half way line
Tuchel dropped him, but then he got a start due to injuries and was a starter for the rest of the season
Both Ornstein and Ducker reported United considering a move for De Ligt earlier:

Absolutely deserved stuff, the Swiss have played Italy out of the park so far.
You are a bit stupid if you think that, no offense, any vote not going to dems is going to the fascists who will grab power in the US if given the chance, on the other hand if you liked the recen Civil War movie and want to role play it IRL in a few years, then who am I to judge
I feel like tying people up just for having long hair is a bit much, but I am also into rope play so whatever
maybe I am old, but the music in older Fifa games were so much better too, 99-03 playlist on spotify fucking slaps.
Davies I have no idea how good a player he was, but he was fucking iconic with the sunglasses
For me both Hungary and Scotland disappointed massively, Slovakia is a welcome surprise.
Hoping for Slovakia to Eliminate England and want to see Rangnick's boys in the final, he was massively disrespected by (us) Man United fans and he deserves better.
England, France and Netherlands have qualified for RO16.
All teams are on 4 points, Hungary is 3rd on 3 points, Croatia 3rd on 2 points.
thus all teams with 4 points are guaranteed to go through if they can't finish lower than 3rd, none of these teams can.

[Journalist review] Jacob Steinberg to Tier 5 (banned)
Now that we have it confirmed that ETH is staying, it's time to address Steinberg and his coverage of United from before the FA Cup final.
Steinberg broke the news that Ten Hag was sacked regardless of FA CUP final result and thus derailed the whole conversation around the FA CUP win, even affecting the coverage.
Article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/24/manchester-united-decide-to-sack-erik-ten-hag-regardless-of-cup-final-outcome
As there is no indication that Steinberg has any sources within the club, and shit stirring and clickbaiting are against my personal principles, I am of the opinion that Steinberg should be considered a banned source.
The discussion is now open if anyone has arguments for or against.
