How to... get started in Matchday Champions.
1. Play Matches
Don't laugh, it might seem obvious to some, but playing matches is the number one route to building a better squad.
Play 5 matches and see who scores the most for your team!

NO RWANDA FLIGHTS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
Which means no Rwanda flights.
We’ve fucking won.
NOW GET EVERYONE OUT OF DTENTION! #r4today
Rishi Sunak says on BBC Breakfast that flights to Rwanda will go in July. But then caveats that with "if I'm reelected on the 5th of July, these flights will go."
It's an admission they will not go before the election.

Roberto Baggio's missed penalty in the 1994 World Cup final shootout against Brazil marked a heart-wrenching moment, overshadowing his tournament brilliance This miss denied Italy the trophy, etching Baggio's name in World Cup lore with a blend of sympathy and disbelief.

What if the National Stadiums were made over, NBA in-season tournament style, to feature the most emotional or iconic moments in their history… A thread 🧵👇
1/8 Argentina - Messi completes football in Qatar
The best to ever play, the greatest player of all time on a quest to complete his ultimate feat. After an absolute rollercoaster final, he emerges victorious. He kisses the cup he’d been chasing all his life. The last piece of the puzzle. He gifts Argentina the prize they had not won since before he was born, since Maradona. He completed football. GOAT status achieved.

President Niinistö, I remember a phone call you and I had ahead of your visit regarding your joining NATO.
It took me three seconds to offer my strong support.
Today, following the fastest ratification period in modern history, I'm proud to say Finland will make NATO stronger.

Scriptan kirjoitukset painanevat syynä. Valtiovarainministeri Riikka Purralla on samaisella alustalla paitsi rasistista, myös väkivaltaista sisältöä. Ei pahoittele, ei irtisanoudu.
Mikä on nollatoleranssi @PetteriOrpo @kokoomus @anna_maja @sfprkp @SariEssayah @KDpuolue ?

Joe Manchin killed the expanded child tax credit, insisting there must be work requirements to stop reduced labor participation.
Data now show the tax credit didnt reduce labor participation.
So…Manchin lied & threw millions of kids into poverty.

Estonian Prime Min @kajakallas strongly advocates using Moscow's frozen assets to pay for the damage it causes in Ukraine.
"You're going to pay for everything you destroyed," she says the Kremlin should understand. She says rule of law supports settling Kyiv's claims this way.

Based on charging the car using the average UK grid mix, this Tesla has saved over 26 tonnes of CO2 vs the *exhaust emissions alone* of the average new UK petrol/diesel car.
That's without factoring in CO2 of oil extraction & refining, or making new discs/pads etc for an ICE car

It gets better: Grand Theft Auto games lower crime rates
When a GTA game is released, violence & crime actually drop, as potential criminals stay inside to play (This applies to other big shooters, too, so the yearly CoD releases are actually good for the world, sorry to say).

They were partying at the exact time my brother died alone in hospital of Covid. 7pm on 14/12/20. 19 days after my mum also died in hospital alone. I can’t even speak I am so distraught and incandescent with rage.
They weren’t just partying while we grieved. They were laughing at us while we grieved. #partygate #notmovingon mirror.co.uk/news/politics/f…

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
