@JENBROOK8 @Randamaiza7 @Dykeocletian There is plenty of evidence of a deliberate smear against Corbyn. Most of the left knew this at the time. Whilst I like Zackand he has apologised, he and Owen Jones joined in on the attacks of Corbyn.

@Randamaiza7 @Dykeocletian "A political smear campaign is a DELIBERATE PREMEDIATED effort to damage a politician’s or group's reputation through LIES, RUMOUR, INNUENDO, & FABRICATED stories, rather than engaging on policy issues."
Do you have evidence that it was deliberate & premedited smear by ZP or OJ?
English
People who a few years ago were smearing Corbyn as an "antisemite" now positioning themselves as the leading lights of the left in Britain. Meanwhile, Corbyn's "party" is backing actual Tories in the local elections. I'm so fucking tired dawg

A lovely Passover Seder with this legendary crew. We heard the story of Passover and talked about the Jewish traditions of liberating all peoples from injustice and operation. Chag sameach ✡️

Sen. Tim Kaine: "Your colleague said you got drunk at an event at a bar and chanted, 'Kill all Muslims.'...Isn't that the kind of behavior that, if true, would be disqualifying for somebody to be Sec. of Defense?"
Pete Hegseth: "Anonymous false charges."
Kaine: "Not anonymous."

@Knightly_Hist @G76Jock It’s not a regional identity Scottish is a national identity. For somebody who professes to know so much about history I’m going to assume that was deliberately meant to be insulting, either that or you do not actually know as much about British or English history as you claim.
English
I see your point as nobody with a strong regional identity likes being lumped together with the rest of the country.
The rest of the world puts up with that tho, and Im not sure this pro-English narrative has only been propagated by the English nor aware of any Irishmen who identify as British. But sure
English
The British managed to convince the world that the middle point of the 100 years Wars was somehow the last battle we should care about.
On one hand I respect the hustle, on the other Im tired of hearing about distorted versions of this battle.

@Knightly_Hist @G76Jock Yeah but it’s not all of the British isles it’s one of the nationalities from the British isles that have revised history it’s like blaming all Europeans for something specifically done by the Germans.
English
@G76Jock @Knightly_Hist Glad someone said it. Having lived out there briefly they don’t really understand the difference between England and Britain with British meaning English to them
English
@Knightly_Hist Britain isn’t the same as England. Britain didn’t fight the 100 years war. England did. Scotland was on France’s side. Such remarkable ignorance suggests you are American

‘Average Italy team’ is ridiculous, this is an unreal XI and were 30+ games unbeaten.
Liban@LibanLDN
One day we’ll look back and reminisce how cracked that 2021 squad was. The depth & quality was insane coupled with the fact we played enjoyable football. The fact we lost to what I still believe was an average Italy team after being 1-0 in 2 minutes at Wembley hurts til this day.
English
@rajsinghchohan @r1medi Busquets was the king of this used to run crazy distances every game
English
I would phrase it as the best are often top athletes but in their own specific way. With Kroos it is his stamina that is elite. He’s like a low intensity endurance runner who never tires bcos he’s always (slowly) moving short distances to find space to receive the ball & actually constantly playing long passes is a fatiguing activity which he did for 90 mins. With Vitinha it’s his agility to carry thru pressure.
English
Vitinha, Pedri, Kroos are examples of some of the most athletic midfielders in the last 10 years
Just because they’re great at football, doesn’t mean they’re not athletic lol
T 🇫🇷@Talhaa10_
technicality beats athleticism every single time. always has. brazil didn’t dominate cos they could run more, they dominated because they were levels above technically. same applies to england btw, all the physicality in the world means nothing if theres no quality on the ball

English
@TouchlineX You might not like Souness but people need to take a look at his trophy cabinet. 5 league titles and 3 European cups. In his era he was clearly a dominant midfielder and captain. I’m not sure where he ranks here but I’ve watched old Liverpool games and he was quality.

@thepahomie @maxfootballtalk @HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno We aren’t denying that Embiid is an anomaly we are just saying that there will literally never be an out field player in football who starts at 15 and makes professional level never mind any where near best player in world. The nature of kicking a ball means it’s impossible
English
@maxfootballtalk @HeartsofOak1939 @02C1872 @sulkfenomeno Embiid is an anomaly acting like there is another Embiid is crazy lol 😂
English
Says a lot about American sports the fact that he can do this with ease without much training yet is genuinely still hilariously diabolical at football despite him playing regularly over the past 4 years.
Genetics vs skill. There’s a reason why it’s the hardest sport itw.

@lieballdo @HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno Exactly nobody in football is reaching their level in any position starting beyond 7/8 years old
English
@HeartsofOak1939 @02C1872 @sulkfenomeno Embiid and Hakeem are two of the most skilled Cs of all time. Playing football helped their footwork same for Kobe. Not the same for tall keepers. McClung is a skilled volume scorer but the NBA has moved on from his archetype and he doesn't offer much as a role player.
English
@HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno It’s not the exact same bro. Steve Nash started at 13. There’s literally no non goalkeeper ever to become top level never mind a pro in history that started at 13
English
@lieballdo @HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno Literally it’s the movement and technique with the ball at the feet which needs to be learned young. Stick a nuts athlete in goals at 16 and they could probs be solid
English
@HeartsofOak1939 @02C1872 @sulkfenomeno GK is the most genetic lottery position in football. Just like basketball, being tall and mobile gives you a huge advantage. Also, until fairly recently you didn't need to be good with your feet.
English
@HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno If you are disputing this you have just simply never played football at any level. starting at 14 you have literally zero chance of going pro outfield never mind reaching world class level, basketball has examples of world class players starting in late teens
English
@HeartsofOak1939 @sulkfenomeno You’ve chose a goal keeper who isn’t at the top level but it still stands true for outfield players. Simply no outfield player could ever reach the top of football starting at 14 years. It’s not because of how many play its just inherent in football u need to start young.
