Thank You Belgium!

US: FIFA Corruption & Trump Delusion Mean Nothing – Belgium 4-1 US! (7.7.2026)

As for the rest of us – we all play one another until a select few is ready to compete for the greatest trophy in the universe! England invented football and England is the spiritual home of football – be it professional or amateur. Hundreds of thousands of British people play every week on bumpy and irregular pitches using different size footballs and various interpretation of the rules. Nobody is paid for this playing – the people play for the love of the game. This is called Non-League Football – even though there are hundreds of wondrous divisions. What it means is that this is non-professional leagues – as the playing is not for money. At this level there are a number of trophies culminating in the FA Vase. My Dad played for Leicester City Reserves and was scouted for Nottingham Forest in the late 1950’s early 1960s – he was that good. I was good in defence and as a goalie as I played 11 aside and 5 aside at school and college, etc.

First Offense - Yang Youlin (杨有林) was sentenced to death!

China: Yang Youlin [杨有林] – “Sentenced to Death” [First Offense] – for “Capitalist Greed”! (7.7.2026)

Joseph Stalin abolished the Death Penalty throughout the USSR in 1948. Khrushchev, being a tyrannical Trotskyite, copied the US practice of putting to death its own civil population for crimes, and although exempting political crimes, permitted the Soviet Courts to inflict the Death Sentence on any civilian for any capital crime (c. 1959). Cuba also executed its political enemies (often on film) – but so did the US and its numerous proxies (see South Korea and Vietnam – but also Liberia – and of course ISIS and Al Qaeda, etc). Israel murders directly in accordance with Biblical scripture – so no one’s hands are clean. Interestingly, China is attempting to move away from the “Death Penalty” with the “Suspended Death Penalty” – but that did not apply in this case, due to the amount of money involved and the scope of the corruption. Yang Youlin caused tremendous suffering to the ordinary Chinese people under the guise of the authority of the CPC – and so he must pay the highest price for this betrayal. Where in the West capitalist greed is encouraged and rewarded – this is not so in China.

Mike Bassett England Manager

UK: When I Watched “Mike Bassett England Manager” with my Dad! (7.7.2026)

My family would travel to my parent’s home in Torquay at various times of the year – and me and my father sat in the darkened front-room of 2 Torbay Road – and howled with laughter at this remarkable English film! My Dad wanted me to see how ordinary people experience life – including pitfalls and disasters – and how they a) deal with it, and b) over-come those problems. The English way also includes a sense of humour. Anyway, my life sorted itself out and afterwards more great things were experienced and achieved. Today, for no reason at all, this film came up on YouTube – perhaps because it has a fictional match between England and Mexico. Today, the England Team is routinely reaching semi-finals and finals – but you never can tell if a return to the old form is on the cards!

China - Cuba Friendship - Socialist Solidarity!

China: US Urged to End Blockade of Cuba! (7.7.2026)

Mao made the remarks at a new briefing when asked to comment on the speeches of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who warned that the U.S. blockade of Cuba has reached a “critical level” and constitutes a genocide threat, and he has called for a special session of the UN General Assembly on July 7 to address the issue.

The spokesperson noted that the comprehensive blockade and illegal sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Cuba for over 60 years are disastrous for the Cuban people.

Recently, the U.S. has further escalated these blockade and sanctions measures, which have severely undermined the basic livelihoods of the Cuban people and drawn great concern from the international community, Mao said.

China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposes external interference and stands ready to work with the international community to uphold international fairness and justice, the spokesperson concluded.
