🚨 Lionel Scaloni: "Now, the real business starts... "On Cape Verde, I’m not surprised they qualified. They made things very difficult for every opponent they faced. They are a tough team and they’ll make life difficult for us. They frustrated Spain, one of the tournament favorites. Uruguay couldn’t beat them, and neither could Saudi Arabia. Based on everything we’ve seen at this World Cup, we have to be very careful. They play good football, they have quality, they’re fast, and they’ll make things difficult for us.” “I feel exactly the same as I did on my first day. Before every game, whether it’s a friendly or a World Cup final, you always feel something in your stomach. The coaching staff always says there are no easy matches. The day we stop feeling that will be a problem.” "We can’t get carried away. We have to keep playing the same way and always give our maximum. This shirt demands that. It means performing, trying to play our best football, and always trying to win. That’s the mentality this team has. As long as I’m the coach, that’s how it’ll be. Argentine players have always respected this shirt, and all I ask is that they keep showing that on the pitch.”

After a classified briefing from Secretary Rubio, “I have no idea why we entered this war,” Senator @ChrisMurphyCT tells me. He fears “we may be… bombing Iran for months, if not the better part of this year. This is about as incoherent, incompetent and confusing a rollout of military action overseas as I’ve ever seen.”

If Theran ever thought that it could force President Trump into a cease fire by increasing the cost of the war via the energy market, I don't think ~$70 a barrel WTI gets Iran there. For now, the oil market's message to the White House is: you can keep going if you want.

Famous last words.

When reports of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's demise began to trickle in, the response in the streets of Tehran was jubilation. The reaction by the authorities was denial, then mourning. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

As in the 1980s, when then UAE oil minister Mana al-Otaiba wrote the poem below, OPEC+ faces today a credibility problem about its output limits (quotas) and true production. At today’s meeting, OPEC+ will start the work on new quotas — hopefully for next year rather than 2027.

I was so fascinated by Diane Keaton in my teens and early twenties that I translated much of her 2011 memoir "Then Again" into Persian as a passion project (though never finished or published it). Safe travels, Kay.
