I am, brother. I am! Thanks! 🙌🏾
Wow, what a tool. He's afraid of being labelled as antisemitic. No, Keir. It's not anti-semitic to criticise Israeli government and their Zionist stance.
O Benfica de Mourinho ganhou solidez defensiva, mas continua previsível com bola. O problema está na falta de criatividade no meio (ausência de ligação Enzo/Rios-Sudakov-Pavlidis) ou na rigidez tática do modelo que limita a criatividade entrelinhas?
Great. Now, start the process of stepping aside and making way for free, fair, and verifiable elections.
“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else…. Equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” (x.com/jacobkornblu...)
FIFA is run like a corrupt mafia, Diego Maradona said once.

On Wikipedia: "The teams will be allocated into semi-finals based on their FIFA Men's World Ranking of 23 October 2025, with the highest-ranked side taking on the lowest and the second-highest taking on the third-highest."

FIFA's ranking:
45. Nigeria
52. Cameroon
60. Congo
79. Gabon
So, the second round's pairing might be:
Nigeria vs. Gabon
Cameroon vs. DR Congo
Proud to see 🇨🇻 in there!
So, the second round's pairing might be:
