Only in America would someone be proud to be stupid

Patrick Collison and Mario Draghi just launched the Rhine Group to reverse Europe’s decline 😳 Their move is one of the most ambitious elite interventions in European tech and policy in years: → Europe produces only 4 of the world’s 50 largest tech companies and lags badly in the technologies that will define the next decades → Mario Draghi’s 2024 competitiveness report diagnoses an existential risk: without radical change, stagnation threatens defence, pensions, healthcare and the entire social model → Nearly 2 years later, only partial implementation of the recommendations; the hardest reforms (scale-ups, capital markets, governance) still lag while U.S. tariffs and Chinese competition intensify → Collison (Stripe) and Draghi recruit ~55 top operators, economists (including Nobel laureates), CEOs and policymakers into a private Chatham House group → Goal: raise eyes from daily politics toward a common destiny - compete, build and grow again as the world’s second-largest market → Turn evidence into pressure and actionable ideas outside the slow official EU machinery Europe still has the assets. Europe still has massive potential. The key question is whether it has the urgency to act NOW. This group believes it can.

Trump uses once long-term trade relationships against countries as short-term leverage. Can't go well for long.

i can't wait for the morocco- saudi arabia, japan- colombia, china-argentina and senegal-mexico quarter finals in 2030

Our number 6, forever. ♾️ Ciao, Capitano ❤️🖤

i was 13 when i watched Italy-Germany-1982 final in spain.I was wrong to think that Franco Baresi was playing in that game he was not But he was at the final in 1994. However-this is how you think of the greatest with long career-you always somehow project them in the big games

AC Milan and Italy legend Franco Baresi has passed away aged 66. One of the game's greatest defenders, Baresi won three European Cups and two UEFA Super Cups, representing Italy on 81 occasions. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and former team-mates.

Franco Baresi ❤️ #UCL

I wonder if the people who rushed to make propaganda slogans out of this incident will apologize

Let me say this very directly. Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out. Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view. We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will. uefa.com/news-media/news/02a…

On a sporting level, European national teams take up six spots in FIFA’s top 10 of its men’s global rankings At the 2026 World Cup, UEFA members made up: - six of the eight squads in the quarterfinals - three of the four semifinalists and - Spain ultimately won the tournament.

¡Enhorabuena, España! 🇪🇸🏆⚽️ well deserved second star ⭐️⭐️ Could not agree more with what Leboeuf,McManaman and Burley said #worstworldcupfinal After the rudeness they showed against England I got disappointed by Argentina and was all in Spain supporter and for good reason

Dear FIFA, We want our beautiful game back. Yours sincerely, EVERYONE.

In Vienna I regularly saw my country's president in public transport. It's genuinely nice to live in a functional society with normal people.

Lalas vs Henry is the purest expression of the difference in footballing style, culture and understanding between the United States and Europe. The French aristocrat against the all- american idiot.... theguardian.com/football/202…
