Egypt's disallowed goal was completely against how this tournament has been refereed.
You can't have a light touch where you don't give fouls for minimal contact and then rule out a goal through VAR for a very minimal hold of the shirt.

- penalty given unfairly
- Egypt goal disallowed after a soft foul
- Salah penalty not given resulting in a goal for Argentina
- blatant aggression against Egypt’s players not even registered by the ref
and still Argentina barely squeezed a win

Back to Oxford after 2 lovely weeks attending #IIPF24 in Prague and #EEAESEM24 in Rotterdam. Met old and new friends and talked with many people about economics and research.
Complicity in genocide has been normalized across Western institutions to the extent that it is refreshing to hear Josep’s honesty and candor!
Josep Borrell, High Rep. of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: "Well, if you [Biden] believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed" #Gaza

What is being perpetrated by the vicious Zionist occupation in Gaza, in the form of intense bombing, killing, cutting off electricity and internet, destroying all aspects of life, and blocking information about the scale of massacres and war crimes taking place, constitutes blind terrorism and a blatant violation of legal and humanitarian conventions and norms. The world must condemn and take decisive action to stop this at once. History will never forgive those who failed to defend innocent Palestinians or supported this continued Zionist terrorism. It is the duty of the Arab and Islamic nations, along with all free people of the world, to unite and find an immediate solution and rescue the oppressed Palestinian people, who are facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
The scale of devastation is unfathomable. Please donate as much as you can through UNICEF and other intl organisations, especially to the already war-torn Northern Syria.
According to some estimates, 180,000 people may be trapped under rubble in southern #Turkey -- alive & dead.
We've barely scratched the surface of the tragedy.

The #MidLifeCrisis is real: unexplained misery of the middle-aged in rich countries remains a serious yet under-recognised phenomenon.

Happy 6th of October! A day to remember the honourable sacrifices of our fellow Egyptians while bringing back our lands from the aggressors.

“Teens mocking you, parents being exasperating, and everyone in power slowly getting younger than you, including the prime minister.”
The cliché is real, a new report says the affluent middle-aged are in trouble 👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/the-n…
