1. The Nagelsmann era in German soccer (for the national club) started last night. Germany played the US....winning 3:1.
I watched around 20 minutes of the first half (half-time 1:1). I will just say it was a average game....nothing much to say over the American squad (they are still a decade away from having a 4-star team).
At least it made the viewers happy...new coach....finally winning.
2. Two Green Party mayors made comments via Focus interview....mostly disgruntled over the German federal policy on asylum/immigration. Increasing number of German state/local leaders wanting some type of major change in the program.
3. Two German military planes being used to take Germans 'stuck' in Israel out.
4. The EU says it will triple humanitarian aide to Palestine.
5. There was some BS-chatter that Cristiano Ronaldo (the famous soccer player), while visiting Iran....had broken some rule and was set to get 99-lashes. Iran had to actually put out a public statement and say 'no such action' had occurred. What this revolved around? Some group had identified a handicapped Iranian girl who watches all of his games, and Ronaldo had agreed to meet the girl....kissing her on the head (a Portuguese thing) in the greeting.
