É a primeira Copa do Mundo do Haaland, com 25 anos, e já tem 7 gols.
Quem se lembra desse vídeo que o Man City fez em 2022, quando a Copa foi no meio da temporada e o Haaland viu todos seus companheiros indo para o Qatar e ele ficando em Manchester.

the only way to get my toddler sleepy enough to nap is to run him in the backyard all morning. we have a cherry tree. he tries to eat the rotten ones on the ground. he eats dirt. he found my neighbor’s watering can and dumped it on himself. he got stuck in the soccer net. he ran away into the bike shed. the other day i was outside and my neighbor’s friend had their same age daughter out and she sat nicely on the blanket and played with toys while her parents played a board game. meanwhile i was fishing rocks out of my kid’s mouth and stopping him from climbing into the grill. we are all truly living different lives out here (help).

Fancy seeing WEIMAR for yourself? This October, I'm leading a 4-day tour of this most consequential German town:
We'll walk the streets where the Weimar Republic was born. Explore Goethe, Bauhaus and the rise of Nazism including a visit to Buchenwald. Stay at the legendary Hotel Elephant. I'll be sharing stories from research throughout.

Enjoyed speaking w/ @TomFairless at @WSJ about Switzerland's upcoming referendum. Ironically, the country I was born in, to immigrant parents. Government failure to manage immigration systems responsibility has undermined public trust and confidence. Sad to see. Take some time.👇
