🚨🚨🎙️| Samir Nasri on Mason Greenwood's domestic violence issues: “If his woman has forgiven him, we can definitely forgive him too.” [@CanalplusFoot]
In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article (lemonde.fr/international/…) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza. Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction. He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands. That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are: - punishing a European citizen - for doing his job in Europe - applying laws Europe officially supports - at an institution based in Europe - that Europe helped create and fund and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil. Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations.

Amorim's United trying not to build-up vs Sunderland.. x.com/ATcomps98/stat…
Brighton owner-chairman Tony Bloom believes he can “disrupt Scottish football” after making a formal offer of £9.86million to buy a 29 per cent stake in Hearts. The Edinburgh club’s fans’ group Foundation of Hearts (FoH), which is their major shareholder, outlined Bloom’s ambition for the club but their members must give more than 50 per cent approval for his bid to be accepted. They say that the 55-year-old has recognised the club’s “significant potential” and “disrupt” the Scottish game, which has long been dominated by Glasgow-based rivals Celtic and Rangers. @Millar_Colin 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/63368…
🚨 Manchester United's signings under INEOS' ownership. Rate them out of 10 so far? 🤔
Ultimately, Ashworth has departed because he did not share the same views as the other key decision makers. Disagreements over Ten Hag, recruitment, and more just made it a bad fit. United want complete alignment all the way down to ensure they build Amorim the team he needs.
