Osimhen's injury looks bad. No way he makes AFCON.

There is rumour that rohr may be sacked soon
Why wait till now? 2 months to AFCON and 4 months to WCQ playoffs?
Make those clowns just shut up abeg. Keep Rohr till after AFCON and if he qualifies, the World Cup.
Unless of course they want Salisu to replace him...

We get drawn against a decent team and we're bleeped.
Imagine defending what we saw in the second half.

That would be seen as shady and dishonest. Especially to independents. If he does that and might be consequential in midterms.

Democrats should still win NJ but for it to be this close should worry them

I didn't even know the Republican candidate in Jersey as at last weekend and running an incumbent governor close
Yeah Murphy wins NJ. Anyway, Biden needs to sit up. He started off well in the Rescue plan and feel off HARD afterwards.
Time to wake up and get to work.

Politics is give and take, the progressive trying to ram everything into the bill will make it fall.

We need to renew infrastructure everyone supports the infrastructure bill, trying to jam everything through climate change, and family leave

They should split the bill let them do hard infrastructure first and the others later else Biden won't achieve anything not infrastructure, not climate not family leave and believe me. Democrats will lose badly next year if nothing is passed before midterms
Personally think he should push some of his climate change thing through executive order while pushing hard infrastructure and all through legislation. Use executive orders to keep the progressives quiet for now.

Both side will point fingers and blame the other side. I recalled one Congress woman last November on a conference call that these woke message of defunding police will cost them cos what she is hearing on the street is different

Moderates will blame Progressives and Progressives will blame Moderates.

What this will mean for the Biden policies will be interesting. Many Moderates will probably backtrack and probably go towards Manchin and Sinema more
That's most likely what will happen. You'll start hearing them use inflation as an excuse to scale back on some spending.
I personally feel he's putting too much money on climate change. He should've scaled that down for something like paid family leave or something.

Hammering on Trump last time worked for them and they kept at it. If you watch CNN, almost every night there must be a story about Trump

Next Saturday they have another Special "Trumping our Democracy" meanwhile Virginia people are talking about their local issues

Democrats would be very disappointed if Trump isn't on the ballot in 2024

The moderates are going to put their foot down now. No two ways about it.

Not only the progressives,
The extremes of both parties are loud so casual followers think they are the majority. They are even following Sinema into the bathroom to harrass her do they really think if you harrass someone into the bathroom will change their mind? But because they are loud, center candidates even bow to them because they fear their backlash
Today Cory Bush was blasting Manchin calling him anti Black, Anti minority, anti women etc
That is why McAullife will be saying in a debate that Parents shouldnt be telling teacher what to teach their kids just to align with the woke crowd

Like an hour ago, One Moslem woman of middle east descent who was a democratic voter but voted Youngkin came on Fox and was telling Laura Ingrahm about she made her decision as a parent to vote Youngkin

All those "they are white supremacist", "they are racists" as campaign slogan can only work for so long

If the democrats dont change their tactics, next midterm would be a bloodbath

Both NJ and Virginia Republican candidates are not Trump people and have given the template to win elections. Presenting Trump candidates give Democrats points to talk about, take that out and debate on real issues without the Trump distraction
They'll wake up soon enough. The way it is now, it looks like they need Trump more than Republicans smh.
They should've listened to folks like Andrew Yang. Now he's left.

The will tie that to every Democratic candidate neck like an Olympic medal. To even bring it up for votes shows they are following the Twitter mob and not the people on ground

How will they dissociate themselves from that defend mantra

Rep Tlaib once posted it on her Twitter that

"No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed."
That's why sometimes I find it hard to blame Manchin and Sinema for the way they're acting.
These progressive are too loud and it's easy to pin their rhetoric on moderate Dems especially in purple states.

Do you think the Democrats go further left of come to the center?

Going further left helps the Republican though
It's more like Democrats pick the wrong issues to go left on.
They struggle to find that balance.

Last night campaign McAullife was still talking about Trump while Youngkin was hammering on education and a book children are reading. Youngkin touched on an issue parents care about which is what their kids learn in school while Terry is saying Glen is Trump in vest

He brought the Democratic A list Obama Biden Kamala Stacy Adam

They all forget all politics is local. Instead of telling Virginia people what concerned them he is talking about abortion law in Texas, Trump, he even started questioning elections in Georgia hoping to stoke tie Trump to Youngkin

The midterms would be bloody
Credit to Youngkin though. He was smart enough not to wholly embrace Trump. Made it known he was his own man by his actions(something Elder wasn't able to do regardless of what he said).
McAuliffe pissed me up with that comment he made about parents not telling teachers what they should teach. His tone was crazy! He also didn't do enough to debunk that stupid stunt the Lincoln Project pulled.
Oh well, what's done is done. White House needs to pass something as soon as possible. Less than a year left.

They don't learn anything sometimes I feel they prefer being in opposition especially the progressives, enthusiasm within Democrat voters is low and I don't blame them.
Biden needs to wake up man. Dems need to decide which issues to go left on and which ones to be in the middle.
Deal with the CRT nonsense as soon as possible. It's not all doom and gloom but it's definitely a wake up call.

How a state that Biden won by 10 points became a close race.

That is to show that the bulk of the country disliked Trump personally but policy wise still agree with the Republican party

Youngkin distanced himself from Trump, spoke about the real issue on ground while McAullife was talking about Trump Trump

Take away Trump and Democrats have no message
Like I said, McAuliffe and his team are clowns. They shot themselves on the foot with 1. The critical race theory debate(well education in general) and 2. Trying their utmost to tie Youngkin to Trump. Like this is 2021 FFS! Why keep focusing on that dude?
McAuliffe wasted the time he should've been using to focus on whatever achievements he had on posting TV ads talking about Youngkin all day and waiting for Biden to bail him out with a bill.
Huge wake up call for Dems. Now the progressives will know not every state is CA.

I’m predicting the Republican will win tonight in Virginia. The momentum is with Youngkin, and McAuliffe has really struggled to excite his
Democratic base.. However, that doesn’t automatically mean Democrats will lose the WH in 2024 or be shellacked in next year’s midterms.
Yeah McAuliffe messed this up big time smh. Still looks tight but notice how smoothly the election in general has gone?
Now imagine if all swing states had followed the Florida model of counting mail in ballots first...we wouldn't be hearing all this nonsense about bamboo sticks, Dominion etc.

Sir it seems you are getting it wrongs.The issue is not about Ighalo benching Osimehn cos Ighalo of today cannot bench Osimehn and I want to say it without sentiment that level playing ground,Ighalo will find it tough to play ahead of Awoniyi,I might sound funny for saying this but that's my opinion.

Rohr is the coach and he said he want Ighalo back,no issue,everything stop at his desk as a coach.

Osimehn,Taiwo,Onuachu,Moffi and Ighalo,no lele,na the same eagles.
Rohr is being ridiculous. Our problem is in the midfield. Why not go and bring Mikel back since he pines so much for experience?
We're okay upfront. There's no need to bring Ighalo back. Rohr and his scouts should be thinking of our midfield.

If he didn't make the sub, you'd say he's behaving like he's protecting a lead. When you settle down from your intoxication with Rohr you'd see that our lads make such schoolboy errors that you wonder how they've been in pro leagues all this while

We'd have been crying about our draw now if those two blockheads did their freakin jobs
Those subs were terrible and made no sense with the players and balance of the team.
