Germany has beaten Turkey to host Euro 2024 after a vote by Uefa's executive committee today.
The decision means Germany will stage the European Championship for the first time as a unified country, with West Germany having hosted the 1988 tournament.
Turkey is yet to host a major international football tournament.
It has seen previous attempts to host the Euros in 2008, 2012 and 2016 fail, as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics. Germany staged the 2006 World Cup.
Euro 2024 will feature 24 teams, taking place in June and July, with 51 games scheduled for up to 32 days.

This is one of those feel good stories, Jordan Mailata a rookie for the Eagles comes from the Rugby world and had never played American football.
These are his words about the first NFL game he attended:
“I was sitting on the sideline,” he says, smiling, “and I was like, ‘Shit. I’m on the same team that’s playing!’ It was very surreal. Who would have ever thought that my first ever game I went to was after I made the league? It’s kind of funny it turned out that way. It’s not even just about learning the game. It’s about doing certain things. Just to have that new experience is a unique experience. Every week it’s like that.”
Full story on the Guardian article: Jordan Mailata had never watched an NFL game... until he joined the NFL

Woodward confirms what we already knew about Trump. Anyone who has observed DT can see his character, ignorance, illiteracy, bad temperament, and how unqualified he is.
And that is something we knew about Trump even before he ran for office. Somehow, a lot of people chose not to believe what was already common knowledge.

As for the Trumpinator and Jones and men of their ilk, what is sad is not so much that they exist and say their vlakies, but rather that so many (oh so many) fall for it.
Which brings us back to ...Idiocracy (✔️ your 'favorite movie of all time' if I'm not mistaken... ? . See? I do pay attention. I actually watched it because of your mention - and enjoyed it). Unfortunately this is where we stand in the USA, which seems to work good for the Conservatives.
Democracy in the US is on a slippery slope thesedays. Big money is eroding democratic institutions and maybe serious constitutional reforms are desperately needed. The question is who's got the balls for that?
Here's something to give you an idea of how the US Congress is pretty much responsible for shielding Trump, and what they intend to do in the near future to terminate the Mueller Special Counsel Investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US Elections. It's a little lengthy but worth a watch (not this kind ⌚ )

As a last resort, why don't you try uninstalling Chrome, download the latest and greatest and install again? Just in case there's some voodoo there...

There are many variables could be contributing to a negative user experience.
From our part, I'll check with developers and make sure the software does what it's supposed to do and all latest updates are installed.
From a user perspective, it's a good practice to clean the cache (browser and system files) periodically.

Trump has absolutely nothing to do with the Korean re-approach. He just happened to be sitting in the US Presidential chair (unfortunately).
Of course he likes taking credit for anything with a positive hue - i.e. the sun rising up every morning - whereas he blames everybody else for things negative (usually blames, Obama, Clinton, the Democrats and anybody that doesn't agree with him).
Anyway, it's too early to come up with a conclusion on the outcome of the North Korea denuclearization intentions. The talks have not yet began. Only generalized intentions have been mentioned so far.
Our Asshole in Chief is exactly that. Still.
