No surprise!
Der Verdacht lautet: Sebastian Kurz hat 2017 die Nationalratswahl mit einem gekauften Boulevard gewonnen. Jetzt liefert die Beinschab-Auswertung der WKStA neue Beweise. zackzack.at/2026/08/03/beins…

The horseshoe theory working hard in Germany today. Hard right and hard left both attacking Merz for going to Kyiv to announce more support and show solidarity. Why they want Russia to win is weird and worrying
Ich hab 8 Spiele gedacht, dass es keine Spielidee gibt, bis ich kapiert habe, dass DAS die Spielidee ist….
Irre, der @LASK_Official, wirklich irre. Ein Lichtblick für den österreichischen Fußball.

El mundo conoce a Marc Cucurella por su melena y sus duelos en la banda. Pocos conocen su batalla más importante, la que pelea lejos de las cámaras.
Cuando su hijo Mateo tenía apenas trece meses, Claudia, su pareja, notó que algo era distinto. No respondía a su nombre, no buscaba la mirada. Los médicos, al principio, no sabían decir qué pasaba. Marc lo contó sin vueltas: “Volvíamos a casa cada día llorando.”
Después llegó la palabra que les cambió la vida: autismo.
Empezó otro partido, uno sin árbitro ni final: terapias, colegios que no funcionaban, un niño que se frustraba y lloraba porque el mundo no estaba hecho para entenderlo. “Un hijo autista no entiende las cosas como los demás. Hay que aprender a entenderlo a él”, dice el padre.
Y lo aprendieron. Cambiaron de país buscando la escuela indicada, se turnaron las noches sin dormir, se apoyaron cuando el miedo apretaba. “Esto te separa o te une. Nosotros nos unimos muchísimo”, cuenta Claudia.
Hoy Cucurella juega un Mundial con España. Pero él lo dijo mejor que nadie: cada pequeño progreso de Mateo le da más satisfacción que cualquier victoria.
Porque hay hombres que ganan partidos. Y hay padres que ganan algo mucho más grande: el corazón de un hijo, un día a la vez.
Gracias por mostrarlo, Marc.

War ja klar, dass die Teans die uns 🇦🇹 schlagen, ins Finale kommen werden. Wir also die moralischen Dritten (mit Lospech halt) 😅
Contrarian Opinon: England macht das. Die haben den Titel zuletzt in meinem Geburtsjahr gewonnen. Das ist unser Jahr heuer, sorry Kylian und Yamal. #FRAvsESP

A nobel prize laureate on football politics. I couldn’t agree more.
The World Cup was shaping up to be a spectacular success for the United States. The hospitality the country provided to the teams and fans was exemplary. The interest from American fans dwarfed the interest seen when the USA last hosted the World Cup in 1994. The matches throughout the US, Canada and Mexico were energizing, showing why this is the beautiful game. And the US team played exciting, dynamic soccer (football), demonstrating that they are up to the task of taking on even the best in the game.
Then, it all got ruined.
Not by the fact that the USA lost Belgium 4-1. That can happen to the best teams in the world. No, it was ruined, perhaps predictably, by President Trump, interfering and trying to reverse the one-match automatic suspension for the American player Folarin Balogun after he received a red card in the round of 32 game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We will never know for sure whether it was pressure from Trump that reversed the decision, but this is what Trump has claimed. In any case, the decision to postpone Balogun’s one-match automatic ban by one year is completely unprecedented. Something looks fishy. The track record of FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino does not give anybody much confidence that this was a decision made on objective grounds, without interference.
What is sad and dangerous is that President Trump’s repeated disregard for rules and institutions is having an effect in every domain. It has further polarized US politics, damaged US democratic institutions, significantly hampered global cooperation, and made security and peace more tenuous around the world.
Now, it is poisoning the beautiful game.
As in democracy, once you damage the institutions of world soccer (football), and the trust that people have in the effectiveness and impartiality of these institutions, the consequences will be long-lasting.
Say what you will about Trump. He is consistent – consistently corrosive to the institutions our future depends on.
Love this guy! xitter.gq/fbawaydays/status/2073…
