European soccer roundup: In a contentious match against title challenger Arsenal, Erling Haaland scores Manchester City’s 100th goal.

Elbahrain.net Even though the 2024–25 season is only getting started, some of the biggest teams in Europe are starting to assess their situation.

The Premier League in England
Despite being the main challenger to Manchester City’s supremacy in the Premier League for the last two seasons, Arsenal was not successful in either of the 2022–2023 or 2023–2024 seasons.

Both teams were keen to get off to a fast start in this year’s title campaign as they faced off on Sunday at City’s Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland, a top striker for City who only joined the team in the summer of 2022, scored his 100th goal for the team within ten minutes, dealing City the early blow.

However, things went south fast for Pep Guardiola’s club. First, Arsenal’s first goal was equalized by Riccardo Calafiori after outstanding midfielder Rodri was withdrawn 21 minutes in due to what appeared to be a catastrophic injury. After that, the Gunners used their set-piece advantage, with Gabriel Magalhães rising to the top to nod home a corner and give his team the lead.

Although the first half of the match was jam-packed with action, the main talking point was still to come. Leandro Trossard, an attacker for Arsenal, was given a questionable second yellow card shortly before halftime after committing a foul and kicking the ball across the field.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta went into a very defensive stance in an attempt to hold onto the lead when his team was reduced to ten players. The visitors managed to hold out for nearly the whole second half until John Stones, a City defender, burst through the North Londoners’ defense in the last minute of stoppage time, scoring from inside the box to make the score 2-2.

There were some tense moments on the field throughout the game, and thereafter, City players expressed their displeasure with what they perceived to be intentional attempts by Arsenal to impede the game’s progress. Defender Kyle Walker told BBC Radio 5 Live that the team was “frustrated” and referred to their opponents’ tactics as the “dark arts.”

Stones continued, “They slow down the game,” in an interview with BBC Sport. In order to obtain some information onto the field, they get the keeper on the ground. Those were hard times, and we had to learn to regulate our feelings.

“They have been doing that for a few years now, so we knew to expect that, but I would not say they have mastered it. Whatever term you choose, it is unduly disruptive to the rhythm of the game when they break it up.

With 13 points, City leads Arsenal by two points in fourth place as both teams have yet to lose this season.

With a commanding 5-1 victory over Villarreal on the road on Sunday, La Liga Barcelona of Spain maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign, although the three points were not earned easily.

Barça took the lead in the first half thanks to two goals from Robert Lewandowski. Ayoze Pérez gave Villareal a quick response, but Pablo Torre’s first La Liga goal and a brace from Raphinha gave the Blaugrana their sixth league victory in as many games.

Not everything went well for the Catalans, though. Marc-André ter Stegen, the team’s starting goalkeeper, was carted off the field due to a full rupture of his right patellar tendon and will likely be out for a while.

Real Madrid, Barça’s bitter rival, defeated Espanyol 4-1 over the weekend with similar ease.

On Saturday, Los Blancos had to work hard to recover from an own goal by ‘keeper Thibaut Courtois that put the Periquitos ahead. However, goals from Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo, Vinícius Jr., and summer recruit Kylian Mbappé quickly dispelled any short-lived hopes of an upset.

In addition, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is still unbeaten, trailing Barcelona by four points in second position in La Liga since September 25, 2023, against local rival Atlético.

Serie A in Italy
In the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday, two of the biggest teams in Italy squared off against one other. AC Milan played Internazionale, their bitter rival.

The famous San Siro stadium is shared by the two teams, but the red side of the city celebrated the day’s conclusion when Matteo Gabbia scored an incredible last-second goal to give Milan a 2-1 victory and the right to gloat.

In the tenth minute, Christian Pulisic, the captain of the US national team, drove through the heart of the Inter defense and poked the ball past goalkeeper Yann Sommer to give the Rossoneri the lead.

Later in the first half, Federico Dimarco tied the score with an angled goal, and it appeared like a draw would be inevitable, but Milan defender Gabbia had other plans.

In the 89th minute, the center-back scored with a header to win the match and set off raucous celebrations among the Rossoneri supporters.

Paulo Fonseca, the manager of Milan, feels relieved with the result because his team had only won once in their first four league games before the derby.

Following the game, Fonseca declared, “I think the win belongs to the players and for our fans.” “Unity made the victory possible.” The players, the staff, and the club have always stood behind each other, even in these trying times.

“The players and supporters deserved this outcome today, but there are still many things to work on.”

With eight points apiece, both teams are again tied, while Inter leads Milan by one spot in sixth place due to goal differential. After five games, Torino is the unexpected leader of Serie A after defeating Hellas Verona on Friday.

When Lionel Messi brilliantly returns from an accident layoff, he makes history by scoring two goals in four minutes.

Elbahrain.net In true Messi fashion, Lionel Messi celebrated his injury comeback on Saturday by setting a Major League Soccer (MLS) record, assisting on another goal, and scoring two goals in just four minutes.

Messi made his first appearance for Inter Miami in over three months, and in just 19 games—10 fewer than anybody else—he became the fastest player in league history to achieve 15 goals and 15 assists. On Saturday, he contributed to all three of Miami’s goals as his club defeated the Philadelphia Union 3-1.

These attempts followed Miami’s disastrous start to the match, as Mikael Uhre rifled the ball past goalie Drake Callender’s outstretched fingertips and into the net in the first minute of play.

Messi grabbed a pass from Luis Suárez inside the box and put the ball into the net to tie the score with Miami down 1-0. The Argentine scored his second goal four minutes later, deceiving the Philadelphia defenders and prodding the ball into the net from nearly the same place.

In the 85th minute, Callender’s last-ditch save kept Philadelphia from tying the score, but Miami quickly took the lead when Messi switched roles and fed Suárez, who finished neatly in the corner of the net. Suárez’s goal, his 17th of the season, established a new club record for the most goals scored in a single Major League Soccer regular season.

Messi afterwards acknowledged that he was a “bit fatigued.” Messi has not played since July 14 when he was hurt while representing Argentina in the Copa América final.

“I had been off the field for a long time, and the heat and humidity in Miami do not help much either,” he remarked after the game, according to TNT Sports, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery along with CNN.

“We decided that I would start since little by little I was training with the group and feeling well, and I am quite happy – extremely happy.”

Hezbollah responds to Israeli

Even while Hezbollah declared it would “fight without limitations” against Israel, its reaction to consecutive Israeli strikes seems well-planned.

Its strike, intercepted on Wednesday near Tel Aviv, was both unusual and subdued. It was a day of firsts for several reasons: first, Hezbollah fired what it claimed to be a ballistic missile at Israel; second, it was the first time a missile had traveled from Lebanon to a location close to Tel Aviv; and third, the militant group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, fulfilled his pledge to retaliate against Israeli strikes on Beirut by launching Hezbollah’s own missiles towards Tel Aviv.

However, a single missile, even a ballistic one, was always going to have been shot down due to the effectiveness of Israel’s air defenses.

So why only launch one? The single shot on Tel Aviv may be interpreted as a cease-and-desist order as the likelihood of full-scale conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as their respective supporters in Iran and the United States, increases daily.

Do not attempt us; we have strong weapons at our disposal and a strong ally at our disposal, Hezbollah appeared to be saying.

Although the militant organization still possesses a variety of medium- and long-range missiles in its arsenal, Wednesday’s hit seemed to be a hint of the kind of punch it could deliver.

Hezbollah is responding to a concerted Israeli attempt to get the armed organization to stop firing at Israel’s northernmost area every day, and this strike is the most recent rung in its carefully orchestrated escalation.

It is important to keep in mind how we got here. After Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Hezbollah decided to fight back in support of the Palestinians in Gaza. It has managed to keep Israel at bay thus far. It had mostly restricted its engagement to almost daily cross-border strikes until last week, when the Israeli military returned.

Although almost 60,000 Israelis were forced to evacuate their homes in the country’s north due to the strikes, the death toll was comparatively modest. As part of the cross-fire, Israeli strikes also emptied the Lebanese side of the border, killing close to 100,000 people.

However, after 12 Druze children were killed by a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, things started to get out of hand. Although Hezbollah has “firmly” denied being behind the incident, Israel has accused the organization of firing the rocket, which originated in the direction of Lebanon.

However, for Israeli officials, things had gotten too bad.

Encouraged by bellicose allies on the far right

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started to switch his focus from fighting Hamas in Gaza to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel has been fighting in Gaza for nearly a year with the dual objectives of eliminating Hamas and freeing the captives it had kidnapped.

Israel announced a new goal on September 16: to guarantee the safe return of citizens living near the border with Lebanon to their houses.

The following day, hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists’ pagers detonated all over Lebanon. Hezbollah walkie-talkies blew up also the next day.

The pair of assaults dealt a devastating blow to the group, leaving thousands injured and dozens dead.

Ibrahim Qubaisi, another top figure in charge of Hezbollah’s missile units, was killed in another airstrike this week.

It declared that it fired the ballistic missile on Wednesday in “protection of Lebanon and its people”—a clear admission.

That it is currently fighting for its own territory—and in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.

Although neither side has officially declared war on the other, their increasingly ambitious objectives may render such declarations meaningless.

Hezbollah maintains that unless there is a ceasefire in Gaza, there will be none in Lebanon. In addition to its insistence that there will not be a ceasefire in Gaza,

Netanyahu’s administration has made peace in Lebanon increasingly improbable.

From here, where do both parties go? There is not much room for anyone to retreat.

Many Lebanese citizens are not waiting to find out if foreign calls to reduce the tensions would be successful. Up to 500,000 people have been displaced by Israel’s attack, according to Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib.

As more Lebanese travel even further north and foreign embassies urge their residents to leave the country.

Beirut’s streets are becoming deserted.

The escalating armed war is further depressing Lebanon’s already weary populace after years of strife.

For individuals experiencing widespread shelling and dislocation.

The fact that neither Hezbollah nor the Lebanese authorities have referred to this as a war is not particularly comforting.

Palestinian Authority leader tells UN

President Mahmoud Abbas told the United Nations General Assembly that the whole world is responsible for what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank.

“Stop killing children and women, stop the genocide, stop sending weapons to Israel. This madness cannot continue. The entire world is responsible for what is happening to our people in Gaza and the West Bank,” Abbas said in his opening remarks.

Abbas said Gaza is now unrecognizable and called for the international community to impose sanctions on

Israel.

“Seventy-five precent of everything in Gaza has been fully destroyed,” Abbas said.

Abbas criticized the US for vetoing resolutions against Israel in the UN Security Council and for providing Israel with weapons that have been used to kill thousands of innocent civilians.

He went on to say: “Israel does not deserve to be a member of the United Nations and says it has not fulfilled the conditions for membership to the UN.”

Remember: World leaders are in New York City for the 79th United Nations General Assembly to discuss global issues and highlight their countries’ priorities.

Official speechmaking began on Tuesday morning, with the war in Gaza dominating attention.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to speak on Friday.

Gantz says Israel has “exhausted every diplomatic opportunity” with Hezbollah

Israel “has exhausted every diplomatic opportunity possible to try stop Hezbollah’s.

Onslaught targeting the people of northern Israel,” he told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a visit to Germany on Thursday.

Remember: One of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most prominent political challengers.

Gantz left the government in June when he resigned as war cabinet minister.

After accusing Netanyahu of preventing the country from moving toward a “real victory” in Gaza.

On Thursday, the centrist Gantz echoed the sentiments of Netanyahu’s right-wing Israeli government.

He also said Israel was ready to hold the State of Lebanon accountable for terror.

Originating from its territory and facilitate a sustainable.

Gantz’s comments come a day after Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon told reporters at the UN that his country prefers a diplomatic solution in Lebanon to deal.

With the Iran-backed militant group, but that Israel would not hesitate to “use other methods to show to the other side that we mean business.

At least 1,540 people have been killed across Lebanon since hostilities erupted between Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and Israel on October 8 last year.

According to a report released by Lebanon’s Disaster Risk Management Unit on Thursday.

At least 5,410 other people have been wounded since then, the report said.

Among the victims, 60 people have been killed and 81 wounded in the past 24 hours, according to the report.

More context: Israel and Hezbollah have been trading deadly cross-border fire for months, forcing tens of thousands of civilians on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border to flee. Violence escalated over the past week in a series of Israeli surprise attacks and strikes.

Meryl Streep takes on the Taliban with a story about cats, squirrels and birds

0

Elbahrain.net When award-winning actress Meryl Streep spoke on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly about cats, squirrels and birds, she wasn’t making a point about hunters and prey.

She was comparing all three with women and girls in Afghanistan – and pointing out that the animals have more rights.

“A cat may feel the sun on her face. She may chase a squirrel into the park… A bird may sing in Kabul, but a girl may not, and a woman may not in public. This is extraordinary,” Streep said on Monday. “This is a suppression of the natural law. This is odd.”

As Streep’s words ricocheted around social media, four countries stepped forward to announce “unprecedented” action against the ruling Taliban for its “systematic oppression” of women and girls.

Germany, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands on Thursday accused the hardline Islamist group of violating the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).

The convention was ratified by the previous Afghan government in 2003, well before the Taliban re-seized power three years ago after the withdrawal of the United States and its allies following a 20-year war.

“We know that women and girls of Afghanistan are effectively being erased from public life by the various edicts the Taliban have issued,” Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong told reporters in New York.

“The steps we are taking with Germany, Canada and the Netherlands are unprecedented.”

Tightening restrictions

Since taking power, the Taliban has gradually tightened restrictions on women and girls.

They are no longer allowed to work or study beyond grade 6. Their bodies must be fully covered, and they are forbidden to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.

The Taliban’s latest edicts last month, referred to by Streep, include the demand for women and girls to remain silent in public.

According to the Taliban’s own strict interpretation of Islam, a woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading out loud.

This systematic oppression of women and girls, also alleged by the UN, has fueled a mental health crisis in Afghanistan’s female population.

However, the document was signed by the previous government, and so far, the Taliban has shown no sign of changing its stance despite international condemnation.

In a statement Thursday, a Taliban spokesman said it was “absurd” to accuse Afghanistan’s leaders of gender discrimination.

“Human rights are protected in Afghanistan and no one is discriminated,” said Hamdullah Fitrat Fitrat.

“Unfortunately, an attempt is being made to spread propaganda against Afghanistan through the mouths of some women and make the situation look wrong.”

‘Erasure of an entire gender’

In New York, Streep told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that she felt moved to speak up for Afghan women and girls because the Taliban’s actions are “like the erasure of an entire gender.”

Fawzia Koofi, a former Afghan member of parliament, told Amanpour the Taliban had “failed to understand that Afghanistan has transformed.”

Despite the Taliban’s efforts to erase them, she said women were fighting to have their voices heard.

Fereshta Abbasi, Afghanistan researcher at Human Rights Watch, said the action by Germany and its partners may mark the beginning of the path to justice for the Taliban’s “egregious human rights violations against Afghan women and girls.”

“It is vitally important for other countries to register their support for this action and for them to involve Afghan women as the process moves forward,” she said.

China’s growing nationalism prompts soul-searching after the death of a Japanese kid.

0

Elbahrain.net As extreme nationalism has grown in China as a result of the death of a Japanese schoolboy, there has been a great deal of outrage and introspection. Some have even accused the government of promoting anti-Japanese feeling and even the “teaching of hatred.”

The terrible death of a young person has once again drawn attention to the complicated relationship between the two largest economies in Asia, which has been molded by their shared experience in war as well as the shifting power dynamics brought about by China’s ascent.

The 10-year-old, who was born in the southern city of Shenzhen to a Chinese mother and a Japanese father, was fatally stabbed by a guy last Wednesday on his way to school. It was the third attack on foreigners in China in recent months and the second knife attack on Japanese children.

Beijing authorities have declined to reveal the reason behind each occurrence, characterizing them as “isolated incidents” that may occur anywhere in the world.

However, for some Shenzhen locals and internet pundits, the killing that occurred during the day in one of China’s most international cities has forced them to critically consider how xenophobia and nationalistic rhetoric contribute to these kinds of murders.

After the boy’s passing last Thursday, a Shenzhen neighbor who had placed a white rose outside the Japanese school remarked, “As a Chinese, I feel heartbroken, furious, and humiliated.”

“Hatred education over an extended period of time leads to this kind of brutality… The resident, who asked to remain anonymous out of concern for retaliation, stated, “There is no benefit in fostering hatred from a young age.

The resident’s remarks are in keeping with a wave of online articles and commentary that demand an investigation into anti-Japanese sentiment; many of these have since been taken down by Chinese social media sites.

Historical rage

sinceremoved popular post on the social media site WeChat,

Some of the largest Japanese corporations have offered to repatriate their employees and their families, indicating how deeply the assassination has affected the Japanese community in China.

Because of its terrible invasion and occupation of China during World War II, Japan has long been the object of resentment from Chinese nationalists. Chinese students for generations were taught about the horrors carried out by Japanese forces in textbooks and on state television.

Under President Xi Jinping, who regularly invokes the nation’s “century of humiliation” by colonial powers to rally support behind his nationalistic goal to assert Chinese dominance, China has increased patriotic teaching.

,The statement claimed that it had “obscured some Chinese people’s comprehension of Japan and even glorified ignorance and evil.”

Beijing has refuted the charges.

The spokeswoman for the foreign ministry, Lin Jian, declared on Monday that “there is no so-called Japan-hating education in China.”

“We support using lessons learned from history to stop the tragedy of war from occurring again, not to incite hatred.”

Clickbait with a nationalistic bent

Nationalism has long been fostered by the ruling Chinese Communist Party in order to support its legitimacy.

In other cases, internet influencers who frequently promote conspiracy theories and jingoistic rhetoric to compete for attention utilize nationalism as clickbait. A Chinese guy gained notoriety lately after he uploaded a video of himself vandalizing Tokyo’s Yasukuni Shrine, a contentious memorial to Japan’s war dead, some of whom were found guilty of war crimes.

On August 27, 2023, people in Beijing pass by a sign that reads, “Suspend the sale of all fish items imported from Japan,” as they enter a neighborhood of Japanese eateries.
