Nancy Pelosi is a stormy petrel. On Tuesday night, the anti-China demagogue sneaked into Taiwan. She crossed the reddest of red lines. In spite of China's repeated warnings.
And the latter’s responses were a let-down. They were limited to military drills encircling Taiwan, missile tests, some economic sanctions on the province’s agricultural goods and imports of Chinese sand, canceling China-US military and climate change talks, and sanctioning Pelosi and her immediate family members.
I say it again. China must teach the US a lesson. Follow Russia's example and launch a special military operation!
The Reds were far from their best as they drew 2-2 with the Cottagers in their opening Premier League game of the campaign today.
Newly-promoted Fulham were impressive and they scored the first goal of the match in the thirty-second minute. Obviously, Liverpool had a dreadful first half.
Thankfully, Darwin Nunez found the net via a deflection in the sixty-fourth minute – alas, only to lose again to the London side after the latter were awarded a penalty eight minutes later.
Again, thankfully, Mohamed Salah levelled on 80 minutes after Nunez set him up.
FYI, the Egyptian was the only Premier League player ever to score in the opening fixture in five consecutive seasons. He's now done it in six.
This was a really bad game from lacklustre Liverpool. They suffered from midfield issues. They were lethargic off the ball and sloppy in possession. And they were tame, not at all combative in one-on-one challenges.
As Jürgen Klopp said: “Actually, the best news about this game is the result, that we get a point for this rubbish game".
