Final Thoughts On The World Cup

 
Spain is dominating football. 





1. The final should have been a rematch of the 2024 Euros between Spain and England. That would have been a way more entertaining duel. We were robbed.

Argentina frauded their way to the final and it finally showed. They got exposed. They had zero shots on target in 120 minutes. That's a damning stat. Both Cabo Verde and Saudi Arabia managed to get 1 shot on target in their games against Spain. 

Argentina were never worthy champs to begin with. It's comforting to know a true champion holds the World Cup trophy now.

2. Respect to all the Asian, African, and South American teams, but the level of football they bring to the table is not deserving of our collective attention. The 2028 Euros will be a better reflection of football than anything we saw at this tournament. 

The World Cup has lost its prestige. 48 teams is 24 too many. I think going forward the Euros will be more indicative of which team is the best in the world. 

There's talks of the World Cup expanding to 64 teams so it will become even more of a joke and a gimmick. It's still the most beautiful trophy in the world so it'll still have that going for it.

3. FIFA made bank, but the product suffered for it. There were too many stoppages. Football is supposed to be hypnotic. All I remember are the commercials. This will not be a memorable World Cup because of all the extracurricular shenanigans involved. 

I don't want to be completely negative. There were also great moments and great goals. The superstars showed up. We got some fantastic games. Haaland's goals against Brazil and England's performance against Mexico stand out. But on the whole there was not enough drama. 

4. Spain is just beginning its dominance. I don't like the way they play. I don't enjoy their games. I like teams that rely on traditional strikers like Norway with Haaland. But domination is domination. They'll be hard to beat in 2028 and 2030.

More Reviews of The Odyssey

 



Wokan was taking the piss with these casting decisions. 

The casting director of the film is a guy named John Papsidera. 

There are more Africans, Jews, Indians, and Americans in an adaptation of an ancient Greek poem than actual Greeks. 

If I'm Greece I'm banning Christopher Wokan from ever entering the country in the future. You can't tolerate these types of insults as a respectable country. You have to protect your history and heritage.

Keep Ibrahim Traore In Your Prayers


This young man is saying all the right things and making a lot of enemies. 

The French, Saudis, or the intelligence agency of some other country could send a Jihadist assassin his way and pin the murder on radical Islam. 



 

Thoughts On The Escalating Wars In The Middle East

The Anglos and the Jews overstepped in the Middle East a long time ago. Only now they're facing some type of resistance. And it was long overdue. 

For over a century they've treated that region like their own sandbox, installing and removing dictators without any thought for the local populations, waging war after war, and killing an ungodly amount of civilians in the process. 

So they're not victims. And they're not civilizers. They need to be kicked out if that region is going to have any chance at peace in this century. 

But the idea that all will be well when the Anglo-American empire leaves the Middle East for good is a bit naive. 

I think we may see a return to war, or at least high hostilities, between Turkey and Iran. They will most likely compete over the territories of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, and even Pakistan. 

For centuries they've fought and there’s a good chance tensions will resume. The last century witnessed an unnatural pause and an era of peaceful relations between the two sides. 

People in the Middle East should not expect peace and security in the absence of Washington. The Turks and Iranians have already shown to be big warmongers, and with the political success each side has tasted in Syria and Iraq, who knows where else they will look to infiltrate and attack next.

I was surprised by the U.S. completely leaving Afghanistan back in 2021. Of all the recent geopolitical events that shocked me the most. That was a grown up decision. Washington can be rational when it wants to.

The Jewish question is the tricky one because these guys are mentally unstable and have tons of nukes. They're not going to stop expanding their territory just because some UN Chief gives a lecture in New York or an Ayatollah in Tehran mouths off. I don't know how that catastrophic situation will resolve itself. It will get biblical.
