Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

ScotRail: Should we hold off on bringing in the £10 minimum fare for folk on a train without a ticket until we move everyone over to our new app? It's not exactly functional... ScotRail: ... ScotRail: ... ScotRail: ......no.

BBC3 airing the final episodes of I Kissed a Girl, which they cancelled due to budget cuts, the same day the corporation confirms they’re paying Stephen Nolan £425k a year is a level of not-funny I haven’t seen on this channel since Horne and Corden

“(Researchers) found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations…Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away.”

I will say, having now seen Children of Men, the first Last of Us game feels wayyyy less original. Not that unoriginal = bad, it's just changed how I think of it. Like when you read le Guin and realise how much fantasy writers of the past couple decades have been using her ideas.

Do you think, if either of those fouls on Egypt players before the 3rd Argentine goal had been outside the box, it'd get called back like the disallowed Egypt one? Was it that they weren't enough for a penalty specifically?
