An excerpt from a fabulous epic poem about Aughrim www.poetryinternational.com/en/poets-poe...

Fine but in 99 cases out of 100 calmly expressed and rational critique of whatever your superiors are into gets you labelled as "not a team player" "negative" etc

We're going to see a cataract of terrible takes about Argentina and Argentine football in the coming days. Let me try to predict some: Peronism is socialism / Peronism is fascism. Delete according to taste

not only lefties, I remember Alex Massie bloviating about "the Catstillian mind" and its supposed propensity for violence

people have lost their minds.

Fun fact; a reliable opinion poll suggests that support for the faaaaaar right (Cat and Esp flavours) in Catalonia is about 30%, the highest in any region in Spain.

They'll get over it somehow

If they keep their heads England should beat Argentina especially as accumulated fatigue is getting to be a factor

for those of you still at the muskhole Arballo - whose day job is law professor - is good follow for football

Argentina has astutely gotten to the semis without revealing how it would play if it played well🤪👌

Pibe/a means child/kid/youth, that's all, no other connotations, holy mother of God the nonsense being written about Argentina these days is impressive, including by argentinos acomplejados nymag.com/intelligence...

To the surprise of no one The Economist's Spain (Sánchez is a dictator) and LatAm guru thinks it´s all a plot to favour Argentina

Man unfamiliar with the history of Dublin

Mamdani is such a cliche

Can someone explain to me why FIFA would try to help Argentina win it again? What would be in it for FIFA? Or for what indviduals?

the worst that can be said about Norway is that has gotten rich on hydrocarbons, the worst that can be said about England 1/633

Although I don't think they will I'd like Norway to won because: 1. Well, England 2. An Eng-Arg semifinal -assuming Arg beats the Swiss - is probably best avoided as it wd likely bring out the worst in both countries

possibly the most moronic and definitely the most racist cultural tradition in the UK

If Argentina makes the final and faces France it'll lose. France is a team on the up and the Arg team isn't If Argentina makes the final against Spain it'll win and the team will never be forgiven if it fails to beat a bunch of "gallegos"

I agree with Niall but I think is part of a broader prob with Burnham. He seems to think he can leave foreign policy issues for the most part aside - say the right words to please Lab voters on Gaza, Europe, Ukr, whatever- and just get on with fixing the UK

👌

the mayor of Kansas City getting into the grove🔥😍

Antonio Rattin died today, he was the captain of the 1966 Argentine World Cup side allegedly described as "animals" by Alf Ramsey. The aggro goes back a long way before the 1982 war tn.com.ar/deportes/fut...

To be fair it can avoid militarization because it outsources that work to the UK and US

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

"Messi should never have been picked, he and Scaloni are traitors to Argentina, are they even Argentine?, only Simeone can save Argentina" if Argentina don't retain the title

Just had the profound satisfaction of telling a tourist that there was a q for the ticket machine and that his place was behind me

How devolution works in Spain. Devolved govts when things are going ok, "Leave us alone you centralising bastards in Madrid". When something bad happens, "Please give us money Madrid, please don't leave us to starve"

The Danforth Chair in Theological Studies, ladies and gentlemen 😍

he seems like nice fellow and is the best No 9 in world football since Batistuta but the cult is getting out of hand

Argentina fans doing Argentina fan things in Kansas City. The mayor totally into it !

If Argentina gets past the Swiss and, I suppose, the Brits (VERY big if) I'd much prefer it face Spain than France. Argentina's psychological and cultural dominance of Spain is notable.

Glad Spain won bc it has a better chance of beating France than the Belgium but it was not a very convincing victory. The boy wonder didn't play great

no importa cuando leas esto

The Belgian coach seems to be writing his autobiography in his noteboolk

"Ramatcal Eyal Zamires" ramatcal quiere decir JEMAD, no es su nombre de pila es su cargo🤦y su apellido es Zamir, no Zamires. Muy seria la investigación con errores así 🤪

Socialismo era soviets y electricidad para asegurar el aire acondicionado para todos.

In Argentina the sole purpose of football is winning. Not having fun, not promoting inclusion or any of that kumbaya stuff, winning. And if you lose you are scum, trash, a disgrace.

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni playing in the Newell's youth academy as a youngster. That hair 👌🏼🤣 (via elgritoNOB) (on X)

Dude argues against unchecked immigration. To the best of my knowledge no country has unchecked immigration. Indeed most rich countries have steadily tightened their immigration policies in recent years. The article is rightist drivel

Bueno, podemos perdonar que hayan escrito mal "Zamir" como "Zamires", pero "Ramatcal" no es su nombre, sino el acrónimo hebreo de su cargo: Jefe del Estado Mayor.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that no Englishman can write in praise of Messi wo throwing in a couple of sneers as well . And I have never heard of Scaloni advocating a faster more European style of play not once

The only Nobel Prize winner to appear in Wisden, let's not forget

Most Irish who have lived in England for any length of time will have a similar anecdote or two

Quite a number of previously sensible people have gone full conspiranoic about Argentina after the Egypt game seul.ar/prefiero-que...

sth that doesn't get enough airing in the foreign media is that the day to day governing of Spain is mainly done by regional govts, and only 6 of the 17 are not controlled by the PP or a PP Vox coalition

Like many many an adult convert to Catholicism she seems to have thought that it was Vichyite politics in religious form
