@Arkadios_Voskos Εντάξει τώρα, κι εγώ μπορώ να το γυρίσω στο "πάμε πάλι" στυλ. Αυτολεξεί καλέ μου βοσκέ είμαι βέβαιος πώς ξέρεις τι σημαίνει. Δεν το είπε έτσι και έχει κι αυτό τη σημασία του. Επι της ουσίας συμφωνούμε.

@GeorgacopoulosG Πάμε πάλι: " πολιτιστικός εμπλουτισμός με έργα και μνημεία άλλων πολιτισμών .... " και πάει παρακάτω ως "πολιτιστική ταυτότητα" και πως την τιμά ανακαινίζοντας Τζαμί. Τι άλλο να πει δηλαδή για να το λάνει πιο ξεκάθαρο. Το "περιφραστικά" σας πείραξε;;;

ΠτΔ της Ελλάδας: "Οι Οθωμανοί μας έφεραν τον πολιτισμό τους"

@Arkadios_Voskos Σίγουρος. Περιφραστικά μπορεί να ερμηνευτεί έτσι, μπορεί να το υπονοεί κιόλας, αυτολεξεί δεν είναι δυνατόν να το έχει πει. Το ένστικτο της αυτοσυντήρησης θα τον απέτρεπε.

@GeorgacopoulosG Είστε σίγουρος ότι διαβάσατε και κατανοήσατε το απόσπασμα;

@ozicosama @qasireu Pretty fixated yourself with 🇬🇷 .....

@qasireu Greece's fixation with Turkey is staggering.

🇬🇷 Πρέπει να παρεμβαίνει η Ελλάδα σε εξωτερικά μέτωπα; Η απάντηση είναι απλή: Ναι. Για να το εξηγήσουμε: Οι διεθνείς συγκυρίες όπως ο ευνουχισμός της Ευρώπης σε γεωπολιτικό επίπεδο, τα κατακερματισμένα συμφέροντα, οι νέες απειλές και η διαφαινόμενη αποχώρηση των ΗΠΑ από την Μέση Ανατολή, κυριολεκτικά μας το επιβάλλουν. Η Ελλάδα συγκεριμένα ξεκίνησε να καταλαβαίνει τα εξής: 🇦🇱🇲🇰🇧🇬 τα βόρεια σύνορα ναι μεν είναι σταθερά πλην όμως υποκείμενα σε εξωτερικές παρεμβάσεις. 🇱🇾 η αδιαφορία απέναντι στην Λιβύη δημιούργησε νομικό μέτωπο και λαθρομεταναστευτική απειλή. 🇨🇾 Η Κύπρος εδώ και 53 χρόνια δεν δείχνει σημάδια επίλυσης. 🇱🇧 Ο Λίβανος αποτελεί πηγή κινδύνων για Κύπρο και συνδέεται με την αστάθεια στην Συρία. 🇸🇦 Χώρες όπως η Σαουδική Αραβία χρήζουν προστασίας και είναι διατεθειμένες να σε ενισχύσου για τεχνογνωσία που δεν διαθέτουν. 🇹🇷 Κοινός παρανομαστής: Η Τουρκία έχει απλωθεί σε ΟΛΑ αυτά τα πεδία και επομένως η απουσία από αυτά καλύπτεται από αυτήν. Η Ελλάδα πλέον αργά αλλά σταθερά χτίζει παρουσία σε ένα περιβάλλον που την αφορά οικονομικά, πολιτικά, διπλωματικά και στρατιωτικά. Η παρουσία μας προσδίδει επιχειρησιακή εμπειρία, οικοδόμηση εμπιστοσύνης, και πολλαπλά οφέλη από τα κράτη τα οποία βοηθάμε. Εάν η Ελλάδα δεν είναι παρούσα τότε μην αναμένετε οποιαδήποτε ανάπτυξη σε βάθος χρόνου, καθώς είναι ευρέως γνωστό πλέον πως η εμπλοκή σου προσφέρει εργαλεία (και εξωτερικές συνδρομές) ώστε να προχωρήσεις και σε αναβάθμιση στο εσωτερικό σου. Κυρίως όμως, επαναπροσδιορίζεις και εφευρίσκεις ξανά τον εαυτό σου, στον άμεσο περίγυρο σου. Η Ελλάδα πλέον ενδιαφέρεται ξεκάθαρα για Ανατολική Μεσόγειο και Ερυθρά Θάλασσα.

@weare_spartan @stewartflaherty @GNev2 At 150 to 1 odds, what Greece did was monumental and unlikely to be repeated, certainly not by England who are always considered a possible winner.

@stewartflaherty @GNev2 he had the answers all along...sounds like his solution is to play like Greece in 2004 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

This clip is from before the tournament by the way, @GNev2 nailed it.

@SkySportsPL Overrated, absent in key moments, entitled primadona, shit penalty taker, adios...

Sky Sports News understands Arsenal have made no contact with Newcastle over the availability of Guimaraes but it is understood the conditions of a deal have been explored via intermediaries. Guimaraes is under contract at Newcastle until at least 2028, with the option to extend by a further year 🗞️

@MrHarryCole They gave the world football amongst other things....

Kinda wild Norway just own their evil rape and pillage culture as cute rowing… yet Brits are constantly made to feel bad for giving half the world their civil services, judiciaries, education, railways and postal services etc.

@MakriMakri Ο William Bentinck ήταν, όχι ο Charles Napier που κατάργησε το έθιμο...

O Τσαρλς Νάπιερ θήτευσε ως Άγγλος διοικητής στην Κεφαλονιά από το 1822 έως το 1830. Άφησε έργο, συμπαθούσε τους Έλληνες κι είχε φιλοξενήσει για λίγο τον Λόρδο Βύρωνα. Για την εποχή του τον λες ανθρωπιστή. Αργότερα πήρε μετάθεση για την Ινδία απ' όπου και το κάτωθι περιστατικό:

@islamibozkurt Chip on your shoulder about Americans, Greeks, your country's name, long list... We have been entertained though Turkiye-ye-ye.

@islamibozkurt Nothing can surpass your own, fiesta-powered, big mouth, flat on your face humiliation with the entire planet watching.

@DanielJHannan Great and confident civilisation, the Turks? They have offered humanity nothing worthwhile.

I am a committed Turcophile, and I have been making this point to Turkish friends for years. Exonyms are a sign of respect, a sign that you have made an impression on another country. No British person would ask Italians to stop saying Londra, any more than Italians would insist on our saying Milano. Germans are right to call Bratislava Pressburg, Hungarians to call it Pozsony. Rohirrim are not so woke as to call Mundburg “Minas Tirith”. Insisting on “Türkiye” is insisting on Third World status. It is demanding to be treated like some post-colonial failed state rather than as a great and confident civilisation.

@Footballtweet The alternative is disciplined, controlled, endless possession, parallel and backward passing European tiki-taka. It was a compliment.

🚨🇨🇮 Bastian Schweinsteiger is facing accusations of racism after comments he made about Ivory Coast following Germany's 2-1 victory. The former Germany midfielder described Ivory Coast as playing “a bit African style, a bit unconventional, a bit wild and perhaps not overly disciplined tactically,” adding that it made them an unpredictable team. Ivory Coast head coach Emerse Faé responded: 🗣️ “I find this disappointing. Schweinsteiger was a great footballer. I've always admired his understanding of the game, but as a person, I'm disappointed. If we want, we can call it racism; we need to call things by their right names.” Faé also stressed that African teams are not only physically strong but also technically and tactically accomplished, adding that he hopes Schweinsteiger's remarks were simply an unfortunate choice of words rather than a reflection of his true beliefs.

@FeugoEgo @to_bouzouki Οδηγούν όλοι σαν άνθρωποι, ανοίγουν πόρτες να περάσεις, λένε ευχαριστώ, τηρούν σειρά προτεραιότητας κλπ. Επίσης διαβάζουν και κανά βιβλίο...

@to_bouzouki Να έκανες τη δουλειά μου για δέκα μέρες. Όχι παραπάνω. Μόνο δέκα μέρες. Να δεις πόσο πολιτισμένοι είναι οι Άγγλοι 🤡

Τα επίπεδα αγγλολαγνιασης των Κυπρίων είναι ακόμα εντυπωσιακοτερα αν προσέξεις πως τους βλέπουν οι Άγγλοι. Και δεν τους το κρύβουν καν με μισόλογα ή απλά υπεροπτικο ύφος. Το λένε ξε και θα ρα. Το τρίβουν στα μουτρα. Το ουρλιάζουν απο ταράτσες.

@SkyFootball One of the worst games so far in the tournament.

FULL-TIME: England are held to a 0-0 draw against Ghana 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@moderatus_gr Theirs was a parasitic empire having created nothing worthwhile in centuries (hence their immense pride today at having a diverse manufacturing base). Sir Charles Elliott, diplomat and author, gives a detailed account in his book "Turkey in Europe".

Gürdeniz, the theorist of “Lebensraum” as expressed in the doctrine of the Blue Homeland, admits the enduring Turkish complex toward the West. The Tanzimat was a belated attempt to save the Ottoman Empire, which had fallen behind Europe in political organization, technology, trade, science, military structure, and institutions. The Ottoman Empire did not collapse because some “foreigners” constructed artificial national identities, as the contemporary Turkish narrative conveniently claims. It collapsed because for centuries it failed to produce progress comparable to that of Europe. While Europe, through conflicts, revolutions, the Enlightenment, separation of powers, science, rights, and freedom of expression, made leaps of progress, the Ottoman power structure remained anachronistic, expansionist, and deeply unproductive for the peoples and territories it controlled. This historical trauma was never overcome and was transformed into megalomania: the idealization of the Ottoman past, denial of decline, a fantasy of geopolitical mission, and the desire for Turkey to reemerge as a regulator between East and West. From Syria and Iraq to Libya, Africa, the Balkans, and energy corridors, Turkish policy seeks to cover its old sense of inferiority through displays of power. It is the same complex, simply dressed in neo-Ottoman rhetoric. ▪ The West is portrayed as decadent: “the Atlantic system has collapsed,” “NATO is dying.” ▪ Turkey’s attachment to the West is framed as a psychological pathology: a “complex dating back to the Tanzimat era.” ▪ Asia is presented as the new center of production, energy, and power. ▪ Turkey is implicitly positioned as a rising power in this new world, not merely as a member of a Western alliance. Thus, the statement has a clear structure of inversion: from the old Ottoman sense of inferiority toward Europe to overcompensation. In other words: “we are no longer behind the West; the West is behind us.” This is a classic pattern of political grandiosity: you devalue the model that historically traumatized you, present it as finished, and then project yourself as the bearer of the new historical wave. In Gürdeniz’s case, this aligns with the Blue Homeland doctrine, Eurasianist rhetoric, anti-Western strategic autonomy, and neo-Ottoman power projection.

@arsensamurai @thomas310773562 This hilarious fiasco has truly exposed what you are about, a bunch of clowns.

Η Τουρκία υποφέρει απο μια χρόνια ψευδαίσθηση μεγαλείου και εθνικισμού. Φανηκε αυτο και στην αναχώρηση της ομάδας για το μουντιάλ,που θύμιζε Ρωμαική πομπή Η καλύτερη γενιά ποδοσφαιριστών που είχε τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια δεν άντεξε το βάρος ενός εθνους στην πλάτη της και κατέρευσε.

@Footballtweet If Turkey was still in it and this was a crucial decidet celebrations wouldn't have bothered the students, right? This whole incident has exposed the turkish state for what it really is.

🇹🇷💔 Turkey's World Cup nightmare goes on. After becoming the first team eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, losing both matches and scoring ZERO goals, Turkish fans had another frustration to deal with. Authorities ordered the closure of fan zones and giant screens across all 81 provinces ahead of the team's match against Paraguay, fearing noise, celebrations and traffic could disrupt more than 2.4 million students sitting crucial university entrance exams. In fairness, they probably didn't need to worry too much about loud celebrations after attempting 62 shots and not scoring a single goal. 😭😔

@seaeglexch @ictinus_x You are doing it again, the same thing, the turkish thing.... The bragging, boasting, dramatic and bombastic declaration of intent.

@ictinus_x I am Kurdish. I did 21 months of military service in Turkey. I would sacrifice myself for every inch of Turkey. Guerrillas are terrorists. If you want to see the state of my technology, we'll be waiting.

Turkey suffers from a chronic illusion of grandeur. A bubble inflated by symbolism, nationalism, and repetition. Massive convoys for a football team eliminated without scoring a single goal. Endless boasting about NATO’s second-largest army - formidable against Kurdish guerrillas, invisible everywhere else. A defence industry promoted as a revolution, yet Iranian missiles expose the gap between propaganda and power. The rhetoric is imperial. The results are humiliating. When a country has to remind the world every single day how strong and important it is, it’s usually because it isn’t. Real power speaks for itself.

@donhutch4 That's how they qualified in the first place, by being defensive, not risking and riding their abundant good fortune in key moments. 1 and 2 have become default settings, 3 is always variable.

Scotland were not not brave enough last night. You work this hard to get to a World Cup and they go defensive to try and “nick a point” Chrikey it’s only Morocco (good side) but why not go out on your shield. Just go for it lads have no regrets! Mentally it was so negative!

@SkyFootball Should they be in the World Cup is the question.

Have your say! 🗣️ Should Scotland have had a penalty vs Morocco?
