The dream for the world’s most elite football clubs is going down in flames, now that all the premier league sides have backed out.

Any club involved in the the ‘European Super League’, that has been dubbed the billionaire boys club, will have to face consequences.

That was the warning from Football’s ruling authority earlier this week.

Coaches, fans and players protested their outrage for a break-away league.

Manchester City was the first club to cut the cord, less than 48 hours after the super league founders said this would save football.

Like a domino, five other English Premier League teams backed down after UEFA warned they’d be banned from every competition.

It’s hard to imagine the super league can still proceed ahead without any English sides.

Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman resigned from the top job, with calls for the rich owners of the other Premier League Clubs to step down too.

John Henry, the owner of Liverpool FC, took full responsibility and issued an apology to fans, players and Jürgen Klopp.

To say fans were excited their clubs made a back-flip and are boycotting the super league…is an understatement…

The fantasy league is being shattered by those at the heart of English football.

So, no matter how much money is at stake, the clubs are nothing without their supporters.

And despite the disaster, this has united fans together, speaking as one… for the love of football.

Israel expands military strikes in Lebanon

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut. In eastern Lebanon, civilians like Jalal Ferhat and his family have fled toward the Syrian border in a desperate attempt to escape the worsening conflict.
