One AI hits hard limits on long multi-step work: finite context, error compounding, and lack of true specialization. Breaking tasks into focused agents with clear handoffs, checks, and constraints scales better and stays more reliable—exactly as human teams outperform any single person on complex projects. Even the strongest model gains from that structure.

Reporter: „It is not only President Trump but we also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?“
President Zelenskyy: „Because those people can’t find a key how to stop Putin. Because it is more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others. Because it is more simple to speak about the prices and connect it with Ukraine, while everybody in the world understands that because of the war in the Middle East the prices are rising. They are increasing because of the war in the Middle East, due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Because of this reasons. Everybody understand it. And if you want to speak to people, fairly, it must be clear. They have to hear reality. Don’t play games with people.“

“Part of the challenge is I’m not Graham. I’m not him. I’ll say things that are different, but our values are the same.”

Graham Alexander has today become just the seventh Bradford City manager to oversee 75 competitive wins with the club.
Of those seven, he's taken the fewest matches to reach that milestone (154), breaking Peter O'Rourke's record set back in April 1909 (161 games). #bcafc 🟤đźź

Great chart in @London_Centric
Newham contributes almost as much income tax as Manchester? Islington more than Birmingham? Fascinating

Violencia, juego sucio, antideportividad, no felicitar al campeón, agredir a compañeros de profesión, intentar engañar al árbitro constantemente, protestar todas las jugadas y hablar de conspiración arbitral en contra.
Todo coronado con 0 disparos a puerta en una final.

The Champions Who Forgot to Play Football!
Here is a statistic to frame above your fireplace and show your grandchildren: Argentina’s first shot of any kind in Sunday’s World Cup final arrived in the 115th minute, a record of futility for a World Cup. Spain finished with 20 shots to Argentina’s two, twelve on target to none. Not one. In a final. ESPN called it arguably the worst World Cup final in living memory, and that was the polite version.
NBC Sports put it plainly: Argentina were more concerned with fouling and fighting than playing football, and the way several players behaved was a disgrace that tarnished their legacy.
According to Football365, Scaloni’s men committed more first-half fouls than they completed passes into the attacking third. Their 12.29 fouls per game was, per NBC, far and away the highest of any semifinalist.
The punditry class reached for the thesaurus. “It’s a disgrace,” said Gary Neville on ITV. Alan Shearer told the BBC that Leandro Paredes “threw two or three haymakers into someone’s face” in the post-whistle brawl that earned him a red card after the final had ended. Joe Hart called it “disgusting.” Lee Dixon called it “anti-football.” Wayne Rooney simply shrugged: we’ve seen this from Argentina before.
And where was the captain? Sitting on the turf, weeping, while his teammates disgraced the shirt he made famous. Sorry, but no. A captain’s job in that moment is not to cry. It is to get up, wade into the scrum, grab the idiots by the collar and order them to behave like gentlemen. Messi shook every Spanish hand, as Hart noted, and fair play. But leadership was required, and leadership stayed seated.
Consider the route, too: a group of Algeria, Austria and Jordan, then Cape Verde in the round of 32. All the jeopardy of a heated driveway.
Spain were everything football should be. One goal conceded in eight matches, the fewest ever for a champion. Rodri took the Golden Ball, Ferran Torres the trophy. As Norwegian commentator Trond Johannessen put it: mighty scenes, but the right outcome. The victory bandits were finally caught.
Wherever Argentina play next, anywhere on Earth, they will walk out to a wall of boos. They earned every decibel.

From speaking to a few legal people etc re Balogun, there's a consensus that:
10.5 is clear - cards are issued by the referee. They are not "disciplinary measures" so 12.7 should not apply
The object of the FIFA disciplinary code it is to do with infringement of rules, not on-field offences
9.1 says decisions are final and may not be reviewed by the FIFA judicial bodies
JJM retweeted
Strong from Wayne Rooney on the BBC on the Balogun affair:
“I got a three game ban before Euro 2012 so I was due to miss the three group games and basically got told if I go over to Switzerland and do a training session with a bunch of kids the third game gets taken off. Which I didn't agree with but I agreed to do it because I didn't want the three game ban but I thought that was wrong. But for this to be suspended? They either take the red card away, which I think was probably the right decision and then he can play. But to suspend it for a year I think is an absolute disgrace and Infantio should be ashamed of this because I think for the sportsmanship of this game is in question here. If I'm the USA's opponent I'd be absolutely fuming. I think it's wrong in every way. I think it's an absolute disgrace."
Bombshell day at the World Cup
🔺President Trump called Fifa president Gianni Infantino asking to review Balogun red card
🔺Trump thanks Fifa for “reversing a great injustice”
🔺 In submission to FIFA, US Soccer’s legal team’s case centred around challenging use of slow motion instant replay in decision to send off #USMNT striker
🔺 Belgian FA could take matter to CAS. Investigating all options to “protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport”. Say “astonished” by decision
🔺 Rudi Garcia: “I didn’t know that July 5 was equal to April 1 at FIFA. We’re not defending the national team or the federation, we are defending football, its ethics and history”
🔺Gary Neville: “It absolutely stinks”/Ian Wright: “It is shameful”

BMJ (2007)- studied 1500 matches over a century, concluded a 2000m altitude difference worth a one goal headstart for home team, greatly increased chance of winning:
“The altitude difference between home and away teams
in international football games in South America sig-
nificantly affected the outcome of games. High altitude
home teams scored more and conceded fewer goals
when playing low altitude teams, and for each addi-
tional 1000 m of altitude difference the home team’s
score increased by about half a goal. In the case of
Bolivia playing against a sea level opponent such as
Brazil, the probability of a home win was effectively
increased from 0.537 to 0.825 because of altitude”

Probably true, shamefully.
Cost is 0.56% of HMG's annual revenues to fund a ÂŁ10k pension pot for each British citizen at birth.
Real return of UK stocks over the last 68 years: 5.5%.
That sort of return would yield a pension pot of ÂŁ312k; the current annuity rate for a 68-year old is 8.2% giving a pension income of ÂŁ31,259 pa.
The state pension cost ÂŁ146bn last year, or 11.9% of govt revenues.
This approach would save taxpayers a fortune and give Brits the best state pension in the world. Would also do wonders for UK investment.
