You've completely misquoted Werner in this piece.

"Werner, has confirmed the club’s busy summer has already begun with the Premier League champions in talks over the record transfer of Florian Wirtz".

You imply he specifically mentioned Wirtz, when he obviously did not.

Genuine question... she says she was kicked out, but then later appeared in San Diego to reapply for a VISA... how did she get back into the US?

"What is"... do you mean, "Who is"...

I wonder whether the word "what" would be used for a British brand...

First day of needing to buy a ticket for the metro, and the machines aren't working.

If only it wasn't completely predictable.

Is it just me or is traffic somehow getting worse all of a sudden here in #HCMC?

Pre-Tet scramble?

Aargh. Who created the junction exiting Thi Them tunnel? We have hundreds of bikes wanting to go straight ahead (blue line), whilst cars coming from the new apartments want to go left.. its madness

Not campaigning enough to refuse the $$ from a company that makes over 1,000,000 ICE vehicles per year. That's the point I'm making. It's hypocritical.

I mean, cool, but where was the activism when she was on the payroll of Fiat (Agnelli family) for 5 years?

Fiat, famously not a ethical company when it comes to Climate Change, or much else.

I actually didn't stop to check. Assume hotel, event hall or karaoke joint.

I've done it! I've found the second ugliest building in Ho Chi Minh City.

Just off the highway in D6.

Not far at all - literally over the water. The bridge in the top left is D1.

Talking to a mate today about the development of Thu Thiem area, and he was basically completely unaware of the community that existed before all the development started. It was a fairly busy area in the late 00's.

Left: 2008, right: 2024

Is that the same Sofie Junge Pederson who spent 5yrs receiving a salary from Fiat, famously a company that is not so good for climate change, same with Rood who also played for Juve.

Point is, this is hypocricy. Take the money, then fight the good fight after you have filed your pockets.

We have to stop top-level footballers salaries.

Seriously, average UK weekly wage is £680

Mo Salah is apparently asking for £350,000 PER WEEK (x514 times ave)

To ask for this amount is disgusting. Salah, Rashford, anyone. Footballer, CEO...

We need to stop these salaries.

What is football in the south of Vietnam doing wrong?

Just 3 of the 30 man preliminary squad for #Vietnam play for teams based in the south, all three being from Becamex Binh Duong.

It's a lovely foggy cold evening. Perfect walking weather. Shame it's 23:10.

To be fair, nobody could have foreseen this airport being built whilst the highway was being planned.

Or could they...

From January 2011 (assuming Google has indexed correctly).

"The HCMC-Long Thanh expressway, prior to any expansion, will exceed capacity by 2025"

Imagine a highway, originally opened just 10 years ago, and it's already soon overloaded- like did nobody think about the future. Just seems like a colossal waste of time

Random Google Earth pic of the airport
