The United States of North Israel, 1963 - ? Vs. The Islamic Republic, 1979 - ?, Round Four of Many More

 


The experts knew this fight was going the distance. 

Washington and Israel aimed for the surprise knockout punch in the first round but they underestimated their opponent. Trump was too busy punching down that he forgot to square up and throw a serious punch. 

What will determine the result of this long anticipated fight will be more than a cheap sucker punch. Expect body shot after body shot. Strikes and counter-strikes. The ceasefires are being used to shift momentum and direct the flow of the fight. Take no stock in them. 

Every war has its own pace and rhythm. 

Two hundred years ago armies met on a field or a hill and fought it out in an afternoon. It was clean, short, and brutal. Kings agreed beforehand to sacrifice their excess peasants. War was a game. Even a hundred years ago that was the case. And when kings led men followed. 

But with the development of total war, where entire economies, nations, and societies are put on a war footing, that romantic nature of war gave way to a type of war that cannot be contained on a field of battle. The arena of war shifted from the open field and the strategic hill to the public mind and collective society as a whole.

War lost all its glamour in the age of the machine gun, land mine, and helicopter. And now with drones and A.I., there's even less meaning to fighting. 

What's a professional warrior today? A paid slave. They sacrifice and kill but they don't get the war booty. They get a badge and a pension if they're lucky. And that's true for all national armies. 

The smart ones become mercenaries because ultimately fighting is a trade like anything else. In ancient times their hazardous pay was instant, not a small pension at the end of life. 

Successful rulers and kings kept their elite warriors happy because they knew they could decide to put their swords down on any given day and go fight for another lord or king across town. A warrior's life was short but rewarding.

What we are witnessing in the Middle East is not a war in the traditional sense, with warriors dictating the outcome of a given battle, but a global mass extermination project in slow motion led by suicide cults.

Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran are not run by rational rulers who have the best interests of their nations in mind, but occultist killers. Their elected bodies have no say. The Congress is full of castrated men. They lack the balls and the brains to be of any consequence, and should they decide to grow a spine out of the blue they'll get removed.

That has been true since 1963, when America ceased to be America.

After the latest reports that the armies of Washington and Tel Aviv will officially be joined at the hip America should henceforth be called North Israel, and Israel renamed to South Israel.

Israel is at war with the world because its religion dictates it has to be. But, rationally and strategically, America and Iran should not be at war. They have way more to lose than win.

Currently they're both guided by madness. When cults, religions, and priests are calling the shots, reason goes out the window. 

What must be remembered and always kept in mind when analyzing this war is that the aim is not victory, a piece of land in the Levant, or an island in the Mediterranean, but global depopulation, and the transformation of the world.

Other than disease and war, the best way to kill off unwanted people in a short span of time is with famine. The British ruling class understood this better than anyone else. When they couldn't kill their enemy with the sword they turned to famine. They perfected this tactic in Ireland. And all our modern ruling classes learned the tricks of the trade from them. They all went to the masonic school of London. 

They know you can't have famine without war. War and famine go together like nothing else. 

That's also the reality with this war, except this time the famine will be global in nature.

If fuel supplies out of the Middle East continue to be restricted then we should expect food scarcity on a global scale, anti-government riots, mass refugees, and societal disruption similar if not worse than what the Covid psychodrama caused.

The city states, nations, and individuals that have prepared themselves accordingly will have a greater chance to survive. The ones who put their heads in the sand will suffer.

WTF Is This??

The United States of North Israel needs to settle down and enjoy this world cup. Enough with police state tactics. These Senegalese players deserve better treatment. Red carpets should be laid out when they step off the plane, not this nonsense. Be good hosts!

My Final World Cup Winner: It's Coming Home After Sixty Years

 

England to beat Germany in the final on July 19.


After another night of thinking on this, and taking all emotion out of it, I just can't back Brazil. 

Nostalgia got the best of me yesterday. And with a serious injury to one of their fullbacks during their most recent game, a position they're already weak in, it's hard to believe in this team. They have the best manager, yes, but their midfield and fullbacks won't be able to keep up. Too much has to go right for them to even make the Semis. I think England will knock them out when they meet in the quarter finals.

England is sliding under the radar, with France and Spain stealing most of the spotlight as the heavy favourites, but they have the best striker, a proven and pragmatic manager who knows how to win, and a deep squad with humble egos. They also have an easy path to the quarter finals. So they really only need to beat three quality teams. They've also shown in recent tournaments they can make it to the final of a big tournament and squeak out victories in close games. They just need that final push.

I have them beating Germany in the final because one way or another France and Spain are going to disappoint. Spain is dealing with injuries, its two key attackers are question marks going into this World Cup, and France is not as balanced in their midfield as other teams. They're extremely top heavy, and I think there's too many mouths to feed up front. England doesn't have that problem. There's one guy the ball should go to and he's been the best finisher in the last year. 

In tournament football teams that dumb it down and play simple usually go further. I think Giroud will be a big miss for France. He played a key role in their last World Cup runs. They haven't replaced him. They need someone with his presence.

So I can see Germany beating both France and Spain, only to lose to England in the final. That would be a funny outcome. And objectively England is the better team with the better German manager. 

And it will probably be a very boring, 1-0 final. I think we will see the best football in the round of 16 and quarter finals. 

I still like Morocco to go far. And I think Portugal has as good of a chance as any to win it all. But it's time for England to win its second World Cup trophy. If it doesn't happen now, when they have one of the deepest teams and a striker scoring goals for fun, then it might take another sixty years.

A Final World Cup Prediction

Brazil loses to Morocco in their first game in the group stage, but takes revenge against them in the final to take home its sixth World Cup trophy.



I've changed my mind about my World Cup prediction that I made the other day. Some questions have crept in. 

And when in doubt about who will win the World Cup you always have to fall back on Brazil. They're always the safe option to go far in the tournament.

But they're actually not the safe option this time around so I like them even more to win it.

I think Portugal's time to lift the trophy will come after Ronaldo finally retires. And as for the Netherlands, I just can't trust a team that lacks a true striker. 

I really want to believe in Portugal and the Netherlands because they're two football powerhouses that deserve to claim the world's greatest prize. They have the midfield and defense to compete with the best teams, and their attacking players are good enough to finish their chances in tight games during the knockout rounds. They also have good goalkeepers who can save them if their games go to penalties. So, as far as weaknesses go, there isn't that many to speak of. 

But, as always, there will be a few shocks that will turn brackets upside down and create new possibilities for teams to advance.

In my new tournament bracket I have Brazil knocking out the Netherlands on penalties in the round of 32 after finishing second in their group behind Morocco. 

That would open up the path for both teams to meet again in the final where Brazil will have learned its lesson and get the better of Morocco the second time around.

If it all goes according to my prediction they each will have to beat a couple of giants in the later stages of the tournament, with Brazil coming up against Germany and Spain in successive matches, and Morocco likely to face England and Portugal on their side of the bracket. 

The odds are stacked against them. Their paths will be difficult. For Brazil there will be redemption against Germany. And then glory.

I like the thought of Brazil winning the World Cup right after Argentina won it to reclaim its natural position in the footballing hierarchy. 

And Morocco has a lot of positive momentum. Teams that have made semi-final and final appearances in recent tournaments carry belief with them into the next one. It's a natural progression. So they're not a sleeper pick by any means. 

This will be my last World Cup post. This is my final prediction. I hope Haiti or Scotland don't go and screw it up and somehow send Brazil home early.

World Cup Thoughts On The Hosts, And A Few Favourites

 



On Mexico:

Host nation bump. Fifth game curse. There are many narratives surrounding the Mexican national football team. Their group is sneaky tough but very manageable, especially with the home crowd factor in their favour. 

When South Africa failed to make it out of the group stage as a host nation in 2010 they were in a group with Uruguay and France. So Mexico got lucky here. 

South Korea and Czechia are strong opponents but beatable. They each will give the home side a good fight. Mexico will be battle tested for the knockout rounds. I have a good feeling Mexico makes it to the round of 16 this summer, where they will possibly face England. And anything can happen in a knockout game.

On USA:

The U.S. also finds itself in a very tricky group, with two particularly nasty opponents in Paraguay and Australia. These guys will claw and scratch their way to a tie or even manage to score a late winner after defending their guts out for ninety minutes. They're not fun to play against. Then you have a Turkish team that plays with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm. They have a lot of talent who have an eye for goal.

I don't like the chances of America finishing 1st or 2nd in this group. That first game against Paraguay will tell us a lot. I could see Paraguay fight their way to a couple of draws and finish with five points after winning their final game against Australia with an extra time set piece header. I think Turkey will come 1st and USA third, most likely setting up a game with one of the favourites in the first knockout round.

On Canada:

I also see Canada finishing 3rd in their group, with a good chance of making the knockout round, where they will come up against either Turkey or America, depending on who finishes first in that group. I just think Switzerland and Bosnia are too good and too experienced, with powerful veteran strikers that Canada's backline won't be able to contain.

Bosnia made the World Cup the hard way. They have momentum on their side after defeating Italy in the final European playoff game. A win like that gives a team tremendous belief, which is critical in a short tournament. I expect them to make it to the round of 16. After denying Italy a spot it would be a shame to see them fizzle out and not even advance past the group stage.

And I want Canada to finish 3rd because I'm hoping for a U.S-Canada game in the round of 32. I think it will be one of the more exciting and open-ended games we will see this summer. But it'll most likely be Turkey vs. Canada. And who knows, Turkey could enter that game with an arrogant attitude and slip up. They've been absent from the World Cup for 24 years so they have a lot to prove. Canada could still claim a big knockout victory after finishing third in their group. 

On Portugal and Netherlands:

To win the World Cup you need a combination of health, squad depth, a strong midfield and defense, team cohesion, balance throughout the lineup, a desire to win, a selfish striker, young talented players looking to make a name, a good track record in recent tournaments, and a bit of luck. 

After looking at the rosters of all the favourites to win the tournament I landed on Portugal and the Netherlands as the teams best fitting that description. Portugal has the best midfield of all the countries and the Netherlands has the best defense, with guys with a nose for goal from all over the field. 

Netherlands has a weak striker, but in a World Cup you need players who can score from every position and the Netherlands have that. In the last World Cup they lost on penalties in the Quarter finals to the eventual winners and in the 2024 Euros they made it to the Semis. So they can taste it. They've been close to the finish line. They'll have the hunger to win. And Portugal will too because of the Ronaldo factor. The whole team will play harder to get him that trophy. 

Brazil, France, and Spain will threaten, they will dominate throughout the tournament, but I really think this year we will see a first time winner of the World Cup.
