Discussion about Trumps move (Infantino) gets the worst imaginable coverage in EUR. Yet none of those yelling are likely to remember that more or less every World Cup was bought, as soon as Sepp Blatter entered the presidency in 1998. Including GER, Quatar, Brazil. Infantino is a true miracle. Started as the clean new Leader, he managed to be even more corrupt than his predecessor.
On the staging of these "Sportsmen" it has become almost similar to Wrestling. And there is an old knowledge. If these scumbags were to do a fitness training with top handball players
they would be lying on the floor after max 30 minutes while, the handball players would continue for hours. The latter receiving ridiculous sums for their performance.
It just kills me when I see it. There is such a high level of skill endurance, strategy... why not just let them play? I don't want another hockey league or a crazy violent WNBA... there is a place for unintentional contact in every sport.... no hands no head butting, no kicking etc but never a place for bullshitting and this stuff is bullshit.
A big crack spread like that must mean that although we're awash in crude we don't have enough refining capacity to satisfy the market for refined products. Probably Ukraine knocking out Russian refineries is partly to blame. That means gasoline won't come down much from where it is no matter what happens with crude.
Gm sir... agree big picture gasoline never moves .... It's so cheap anyway... pull up a BLS inflation calculator on Google and type in 1973 vs 2026 and enter $3.00/ gallon (rbob FOB NY harbor) then do 2005 then 2008 then 2022. All products supplied (US demand proxy) has been roughly 20 mm bpd since Y2K ...
I thought the NBA and LeBron were floppers, but these guys are ridiculous. if the US wants to dominate this sport, get outside linebackers to learn to play and watch the rest of the world melt into insignificance.
At the risk of getting blowback from some of the readers here - I’ve long thought that if you put together a team of the best athletes from the NFL and NBA, gave them a top coach and 12 months to practice, they would win the championship. If nothing else, their would be significantly less rolling around and cry babying.
On one match I watched, I think it was Croatia the player got bumped, fell down and flopped around like dying fish. But the play continued and he looked up, saw nobody watching him so got up and rejoined the play.

Boys were flat; no juice. It was a great run. Lots of great games ahead I am hoping.

Tyler didn’t kill Charlie. Show trial.
I wish he were still here.
