Note for me:
Delivery service in Dubai works during war, but not during rain
So apparently rain is a bigger security threat than missiles from Iran?
I mean I get it, roads are slippery, cause rain doesn’t get intercepted haha
Ben White's return to the England fold after his lengthy self-imposed exile borders on the insulting to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who continues to be overlooked by Thomas Tuchel at right-back.
Reece James injured, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retired internationally and now the withdrawal of Jarell Quansah (seen as right-back cover by Tuchel). And Alexander-Arnold still not called. Real Madrid's right-back in the Champions League. A player whose passing can change games. A tournament shootout penalty-taker.
White drafted into squad because of injury to Quansah. Be interesting to see the reaction of England fans - let alone Alexander-Arnold. White has to explain why he turned his back on England for three and a half years. Expect some skilled FA video content.
Gareth Southgate said in March 2024 that White had indicated to him that he didn't want to be considered for England. There's always been speculation about a fall-out between White and Southgate's assistant Steve Holland (Southgate denied this).
Tuchel clearly doesn't rate Alexander-Arnold, a situation that gets ever stranger. White obviously a more defensive full-back; can get forward but lacks Alexander-Arnold's impact. He did well when coming on for Dani Carvajal against Atletico last night. Made Vinicius Junior's second goal.
Harvey Barnes, who has one cap, comes in for the injured Eberechi Eze for the squad to face Uruguay on Friday and Japan on March 31. #ENG
Honestly.…
Not sure if I want #Dubai to return to "normal"
I have just driven to the Marina for Ramadan dinner and dont think I stopped or braked all the way here... its bliss
Trent Alexander-Arnold plays right-back for Real Madrid. Started home and away against Manchester City. He won the Premier League and Champions League at right-back with Liverpool. He’s used to dealing with pressure. He’s taken a decisive tournament penalty. He’s played in the World Cup before.
He has occasional defensive deficiencies but he brings a long-range passing skill that few possess. Are England that blessed at right-back that they don’t need Alexander-Arnold? That he isn’t amongst the best 30 outfield players available to Thomas Tuchel?
The ignorant outside the #UAE still think we live in a world if malls, beaches and plastic influencers..
Hey have no idea that families live here in beautiful green communities wirh lakes, parks and family facilities.
My hood before I walk to the local stores
@itsMarkd6@MDXcrypto I work in construction. UAE labour law changed in 2021 through a new decree improving workers rights significantly. Every worker has a valid visa, medical insurance and HRA. The MOHRE do spot inspections. Companies are fined if they don’t comply.
As if those construction workers even have a choice! Their passports are confiscated by their employers! They are literally slaves! Dubai rules and regulations are only name sake! Why do you think many employers have employees working on visit visas and they refuse to give them visas! Moreover If only the employees even had a chance to win a court case!
It is really very simple:
If you have moved to Dubai to avoid tax, you have chosen an economy based on slavery over one based on taxation.
You have chosen slaves over tax.
You should be ostracised forever from society.
