Kudos to both sides for attacking, scoring goals, more open play, not parking the bus.

speaking of Hungary....

and NOT relevant to fútbol...

i read this in Capital Exploits newsletter

A top Ukraine official acknowledged what we’ve been saying all along — that the mighty Ukrainian military is NOT about to win.

On the contrary, they’re getting hammered. A meat grinder.

And now Hungary is preparing. Preparing for what, you ask?

Well, what is the step for the US… urgh, I mean Ukraine when they’re winning so hard that Russia will be in control by spring?

As I mentioned in a recent issue, the US/NATO/EU cannot lose. The harm to the US military hegemony would be a game changer. The rest of the world and all the military intelligence, from Delhi to Beijing to Ankara and even Tel Aviv, knows full well this is a US war.

So what do they do? If their previous actions are anything to go by, they ramp up the conflict, attempting to ensure other so-called participants “HAVE TO” join. This was what the bombing of the Nordstream pipeline was designed to do. To cut off all options, forcing Germany in particular to follow Washington’s policy.

Now, ahead of time, Orban is preempting a declaration of war by NATO. Hungary wants no part in this, but under their current NATO and EU membership they’d be obliged regardless.

Is Orban prepping for the time when he has to take his country out of the EU and out of NATO? If he was to do that (and I’m not saying that this is what he’s doing, merely that it is a logical and possible explanation), then he’d get rid of all the pro-NATO military because, by golly, he’s going to need a strong ideological position domestically within the military if he is to succeed in doing so. He’d almost certainly understand that the CIA would be active in promoting a “colour revolution” that would appear out of nowhere like a military myocarditis.

In a recent speech Orban had this to say:

The West violated Central Europe’s 1000 year old borders and history . It has pushed us to indefensible limits. Deprived of our natural resources. Cut off from natural resources. Made our country a house of mourning. They redrew the borders of Central Europe without moral concerns. Just as they drew the borders of Africa and the Middle East. This we will never forget.

Aristotle, 2,500 years ago, wrote a book on the constitutions of Greece. He wrote, “All these constitutions call themselves democracies, but they are really oligarchies.”

Look around you and tell me that today’s so-called democracies are not run by a financial oligarchy. Many call it the deep state, but what exactly is the deep state? It is a financial oligarchy.

Takeaways?Well, I think the euro is F.U.K.T (fragile, useless, korrupt, and terminal). So there’s that, but you know what else I’ll be looking out for? Should this indeed be the case, then when or if Hungary announces its exit, I expect Hungarian assets to immediately be sold by European institutions, not because they necessarily disagree but because everything has become so politicised that holding assets of Hungary would be immediately deemed “unpatriotic” and/or sanctioned.

We’ll wait for that to play out and then go hunting and probably buy the snot out of Hungary. If they can extract themselves from the WEF puppets, then there is hope.

I do realise that Hungary is a tiny landlocked country and really this works only where it gains momentum as/if others join. Serbia? Quite possibly. Italy under Maloni? Sure, I can see that, though for reasons stated other than the Russkie angle. Croatia, sensing the tide turning? I wouldn’t discount it.

France heads to the semifinals having scored a total of 3 goals in 5 games. Disgusting!

On the other hand, Spain/Germany was a thrilling game from start to finish. We need more of that.

I was wrong. France has scored ZERO goals in 5 games. Their 3 points came from 2 own-goals by the opponent and a penalty kick.

Copa America: Colombia got red carded at the end of the first half and played the entire second half with 10 men ... and still beat Uruguay 1-0!

Here's a different angle of Diego Maradonna's famous goal against England in the 1986 World Cup. I used to think this was an own-goal because the defender stabs at the ball right as the shot is fired. But when you slow it down to .25 speed, it becomes clear that the shot was fired by Maradonna based on the angle of the shot and the timing.
