We all expected much more! Not a good campaign so far... hopefully they wake the fuck up on Monday and finally play as a team.
The older players need to go out. As much as we all love them, Brozovic, Perisic and Modric simply can't keep up. Especially Perisic coming back from a tough injury.
We've got young and fast players on the bench who can do much more but aren't being given minutes.
But oh well! It is what it is - we hope Spain beats Italy today, then we still have a chance to be 2nd.
Michael: Now -- I don't know this Merle -- I don't know what he does -- I don't know what he lives on [I do!] Now why don't you tell him that marriage is out of the question and you don't want to see him anymore. Now he'll understand, believe me. Connie -- if you don't listen to me -- and marry this man -- you'll disappoint me
The way Michael totally ignored Merle as if Merle wasn't even there.... Merle and Connie holding hands would sway?! Michael to pay their passage on The Queen
Merle so used to living off women [or his 'future' brother-in-law] just sits through it all.... shameless then again Merle's got to be -- thick-skinned -- in his line of work!
Only Michael Corleone can make “you'll disappoint me” sound menacing
Whilst we are not privy to what's going on behind the scenes....
I expected Israel's allies to aid, back, help, support Israel unconditionally, standing shoulder to shoulder, to protect Israeli people and Israeli territorial integrity together including boots on the ground [even if unofficial] fighting alongside IDF not take Israel to task over everything, Israel does or does not do, in this war raging on, coming to 9 months
always Israeli attacks and alleged deaths caused, in the news -- even the photos at times are doubtful as regards truth or validity but little to no accountability of the terrorist organisations who are openly and violently calling for the annihilation of Israel
perhaps behind the scenes action is going on -- the public criticism of Israel is a smokescreen, ruse not to show their hand including not really withholding weapons....
I reckon, Hamas has achieved, in a way succeeded in it's brutal way -- among others,
Palestine Statehood is actively trending on the International domain
more and more countries recognising Palestine Statehood
push for Palestine United Nations membership -- if not for US Veto
destabilise Israel's economy, political turmoil, civil unrest
'occupied' territories in the spotlight
settler violence in 'occupied' territories -- sanctions
pro-Palestinian demonstrations worldwide
antisemitism on the rise Disgraceful
Israel seemingly more and more isolated
Israel's allies' support seemingly dwindling -- with friends! like this....
Israel accused of genocide and crimes against humanity
Israel forced to negotiate with terrorists Hamas
International Court of Justice [ICJ] action against Israel
International Criminal Court [ICC] proceedings against Israel [without the principle of “complementarity”] Complementarity requires the ICC to let the nation in question's legal system move first before any action is taken by the Court
Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy Extract: In some respects her remarks about Israel falling into a trap set by Hamas were the most surprising. Although she stressed it was necessary to remember the attacks on women and children on 7 October, “it seems that Israel has fallen into a trap, a Hamas trap that had the aim of isolating it, and it seems to be working. We are working on its security,” she added
Extracts: Hamas says 274 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli operation that freed four hostages and hundreds were wounded [Deutsche Welle disclaimer: not independently verified]
They [the Four hostages] were found in two different locations at the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza strip, eight months after being taken captive.
In a statement, the IDF claimed freed hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv were held by Al Jazeera journalist Abdallah Aljamal and his family members at their home in the central Gaza strip
well we all know what religious they belong too... i thought they only hate ''zionists'' because of the occupation... fuck them ! i hope will wake up ! or else they will be in uniforms soon defending their cities and country like us !
The common people know it that's why Wilders, Le Pen, Meloni and nationalist parties everywhere in Europe are on the rise. People are fed up with the "fifth column".
Do you guys believe they cut his eyeballs & Tongue out with a shiv before killing him?
If most mobsters would have the balls of DeCologero and Geas,the american mafia would be more feared today.
They used to have many guys like them both as you know.
What's funny is that when they (DeCologero and Geas) were on the street we didn't hear much about them. Most mob insiders didn't even know they existed.
I cant even recall them being placed on any FBI mafia chart.
Why is that?
It just goes to show that there's probably guys out there right now that we don't even know about who are doing some seriously bad shit flying under the radar.
well we all know what religious they belong too... i thought they only hate ''zionists'' because of the occupation... fuck them ! i hope will wake up ! or else they will be in uniforms soon defending their cities and country like us !
Carlo Torraco grew up in the Melrose Park section of Chicago. As a then-23 year old young hoodlum, back in August of 1928, he and two accomplices were arrested and jailed on two counts of armed-robbery. Torraco was held in lieu of a whopping $75,000 bond. His two buddies were also held, but on lesser bonds of $50,000 apiece.
They ended up getting convicted on the robbery charges. Torraco received an “indeterminate” sentence of one-year-to-life in prison, of which he ended up serving five years on.
After making parole in the mid-1930s, he joined up with the Outfit, and over the next three decades Torraco was considered to be a “card carrying” member of the Chicago Family.
From the 1930s, through the 1950s era, among other rackets, Torraco was said to be active in alcohol-bootlegging. In later years, he gravitated to bookmaking and gambling rackets.
Through the years he was closely associated with the Bravos brothers, Nick and George, known Chicago-area bookmakers and hoodlums, as well as a variety of other top Windy-City racketeers and mafiosi.
An interesting incident occurred back in 1955, when George Bravos reported to the authorities that his brother Nick had been kidnapped for ransom. Torraco and George Bravos were brought into police headquarters for questioning. During the interrogation and grilling about the alleged ransom kidnapping of George’s brother they told the police that $75,000 had allegedly be demanded from them to guarantee Nick’s safe return.
But, no sooner had the FBI been called into the investigation, one afternoon, curious FBI agents went to the Bravos home and discovered that Nick was back in the company of his brother and Torraco, all sitting together in the family’s living room.
...Obviously, there had been a lot more to the story than a simple kidnapping.
...And then there was one! Only "Frankie Carroll" of the Bonanno clan remains.
