    it's uncanny. he was a non-factor up until that point, but it did happen before Freeze froze, so might have been interesting if he'd been full strength the rest of the game.

    He's been a non-factor since the Paraguay game. I thought he was very good in the Paraguay game until he had the injury in that game and left. But he's had a disappointing year as a whole. His first year at AC Milan was excellent and he really looked like a world class player but he hit a complete wall during the second half of the last season. He hasn't scored a goal for AC Milan since last December.

    The injuries obviously didn't help but he's been in a slump for a while now. I'm not sure what's wrong with him but at some point AC Milan will give him on him and I really hope he doesn't just give up and take the big pile of cash to join an MLS team.

    Sadly, I must bookmark this considering the news this week. Hopefully it does not come to pass.

    I’m gessing you’re talking about the judiciary problems of Marine Le Pen.

    she’ll get the occasion to run for president and might (probably) get to the second round but at some point a coalition of the center / left will win. (Probably Melanchon)

    I dont know how you can say that. The National Rally is the largest party in the French Assembly and their vote share has consistently gone up over the years. The assembly is a complete mess as it's a coalition between the centrist parties and the Left (which is completely non-functional) in order to keep the RN out of government. But this is absolutely not viable long term and at some point the RN will break through.

    If the RN are smart enough to nominate someone who doesnt' have Le Pen as their last name, there's a very solid chance they win the next presidential election and will form the next government in the assembly.

    No country in Europe is immune to the Far Right at this point. Even in the Nordic countries (which have historically been more resistant to the Far Right), the Far Right have made it into government coalitions.

    But if things go badly for the mainstream parties, you could see Far Right parties in government in the UK, France, and Germany in the near future.

    You may want to reread the chain of statements posted before jumping to conclusions.
