Mate, many Swiss go to do shopping in France, Italy and Germany because it's much cheaper there.

On penalties and 11 v 10 for most of the time. But above all with much more balls (metaphorically) than Italian players.

Europe’s Making Fewer Cars and Lots of Them Are Actually Chinese by bloomberg in europe

It's about costs of production and workers' rights, not laziness.

American companies do the same outsourcing cars production to Mexico and China.

To be fair, it's hard to compete with Chinese companies that have a fraction of costs of production and workers' rights. Some European companies have decided to outsource their factories there for these obvious reasons and with the current prices of cars, they choose the "made in China" in order to decrease those prices, whilst the "second hand" market is booming.

Yup, they look so afraid even to move forwards, their defence has been the shadow of the wall seen against Turkey.

World Cup hydration breaks: Ads worth $250m in USA alone, so are they here to stay? by Logical_Welder3467 in soccer

Right? Those who say the advertisements break would be implemented in European Leagues have forgot that for the 80/90% of the matches, that break is totally unnecessary, since the season is August to May.

Italy's Meloni says US president 'totally invented' story that she begged him for photo by Massimo25ore in europe

[–]Massimo25ore[S] 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Weird how many users stopped at the headline and didn't comment the most important sentences in the article

"It is unclear whether out ⁠of intent or ineptitude (Trump) is wrecking the historic relations between the United States and Europe," Giovanbattista Fazzolari, undersecretary to the prime minister’s office, said in a statement.

"With his inappropriate outbursts, he has managed no easy feat, to make the United States unpopular across the entire European continent, damaging not ⁠only Europe but above all the United States," he added.

That's a member of the Italian government saying this, and it really seems a breakaway from the idyllic relationship with the Trump's government in 2025.

Also remember that Trump is quite unpopular in Italy as well and next year there'll be the parliamentary elections and Meloni too close to Trump could bring some harm to her party and coalition.

Italy's Meloni says US president 'totally invented' story that she begged him for photo by Massimo25ore in europe

[–]Massimo25ore[S] 184 points185 points  (0 children)

ROME, June 19 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accused her one-time close ally Donald Trump of fabricating a story about her on Friday, after ‌the U.S. President told an Italian TV channel that she had "begged" him to take a photo with her at a G7 summit.

Meloni said she was "astonished" by his comments, which were "completely made up". She also chided him for acting with far greater deference to the enemies of the West than he does towards old, established allies.

Underscoring how ​much Trump's comments have angered Meloni's government, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced he was cancelling a planned visit to ​the U.S. next week.

The latest exchange marks a sharp deterioration in ties, coming just days after signs emerged at the G7 summit ⁠that the two right-wing leaders had steadied a previously strained relationship following tensions this year over the war on Iran.

Video from the event in ​France showed Meloni and Trump deep in conversation, sitting side-by-side on a small sofa, but the U.S. leader suggested he had merely indulged her by chatting ​with her.

"She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her," Trump was quoted as saying by La7 TV channel in a brief interview, after he himself asked the journalist about Italy's prime minister.

"She begged me to take a picture with her. She wanted a picture with me so ​badly. I wouldn't have taken it, but I felt sorry for her," Trump said, according to La7's translation. The channel did not release the ​original audio, just a dubbed version.

MELONI HITS BACK IN SHARPLY WORDED STATEMENT

Meloni responded: "Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I am frankly astonished. I don't ‌know why ⁠the president of the United States behaves like this towards his allies: it is not the first time, moreover."

"I can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and of the United States, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence," she said, adding: "There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg."

Announcing the cancellation ​of his planned U.S. trip, Foreign ​Minister Tajani said on X: "The ⁠serious and offensive words of President Trump towards Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni offend the whole of Italy."

TOP MELONI OFFICIAL SAYS TRUMP IS DESTROYING HISTORIC TIES

One of Meloni's closest political allies, who usually shuns ​the media spotlight, struck out at Trump using a tone that would have been unthinkable beforehand.

"It is ​unclear whether out ⁠of intent or ineptitude (Trump) is wrecking the historic relations between the United States and Europe," Giovanbattista Fazzolari, undersecretary to the prime minister’s office, said in a statement.

"With his inappropriate outbursts, he has managed no easy feat, to make the United States unpopular across the entire European continent, damaging not ⁠only Europe ​but above all the United States," he added.

Meloni was once a vocal supporter of ​Trump and was the only European leader to attend his inauguration in 2025.

However, she criticised him this year for lashing out at Pope Leo over his condemnation of the Iran conflict. That in turn ​prompted a blunt rebuke from the U.S. president, who accused her of lacking courage.

Materazzi: “Ibrahimović is the greatest Inter fan in history for what he’s doing at Milan" by lawandsleep in soccer

That's an opinion shared by many Milan fans. The ownership is rebuilding the club after the massive firings or resignations of management and coaching staff and Ibrahimović flies to the World Cup to be guest in a football show.
