People Are Fighting Over Roadster's Summer Campaign – So We Decided To Just Settle It Once & For All
If you've been on social media lately or literally anywhere on the road, you've probably seen it – Roadster's We Deserve Summer campaign popping up everywhere. Billboards. Stories. Reels. TikToks. Even your cousin's beach day post on Instagram somehow managed to feature that tagline. And, of course, because this is Lebanon in 2025, people have Opinions™. Some are all in: 'YES, we do deserve summer! Bring on the burgers and sunsets!' Vaha, commenting on the campaign in a Reel, pointed out how the campaign was on point after everyone suffered the consequences last summer: Others… not so much: 'Deserve summer? After the traffic on the way back from Batroun? Please.' Some completely had absolutely no clue what the campaign even was. Eddy, commenting on the billboard in a TikTok video, said he liked the visuals but questioned what this has to do with Roadster: The debate and theories continued in the comments. So, instead of letting the comments section keep throwing shade, we decided to go straight to the source and get the real story. The Truth Behind We Deserve Summer We spoke directly with the Roadster team about what the campaign REALLY means and why they went all-in with this vibe, and here's what they told us: 'Last year, Lebanon missed out on summer. No long nights out, no spontaneous road trips, no dancing until sunrise. We stayed in, held back, and carried the weight of everything we couldn't have. But this year? This year, we deserve summer – a real one. Loud, messy, sun-soaked, and full of life. We've earned the right to let go, break the rules, and feel free again. Because summer isn't just a season – it's a state of mind, and we're finally ready for it.' And honestly… they're not wrong. Especially after everything we went through for the past over year and a half. How They're Bringing It To Life Roadster went for a full 360° summer takeover – not just simply a slogan with some ads: A brand-new summer menu with new fresh additions New décor at every branch to give you that summer energy – including at its iconic Jal el Dib location Summer uniforms for the staff (because the vibe has to match the mood) Sponsorship of summer events across Lebanon They even roped in basketball champ Wael Arakji and actress Yara Bou Monsef as the faces of the campaign. Big summer energy, confirmed. So… Is It Deserved? Look, whether you've been spending your weekends at the beach, dancing till sunrise, or just trying to find parking anywhere, one thing's clear – after the summer we missed, maybe we do deserve to make this one count. And if that means a new burger, fries on the side, and a milkshake in hand while soaking up the summer vibe… we're not complaining.

Premier League chief calls for patience as Man City legal case drags on
by Naharnet Newsdesk 14 August 2025, 15:55 The Premier League's top official called for patience Wednesday while the seismic legal case involving Manchester City drags on into another season. City was charged by the league in February 2023 with more than 100 financial breaches, including providing misleading information about its sources of income. The case was heard by an independent commission between September and December last year but no verdict has been reached. Punishment could be as extreme as expulsion from the top flight. City has always denied the charges. The issue hangs over the start of another Premier League campaign, with the 2025-26 season starting Friday. But Richard Masters, the competition's chief executive, reiterated the league has no control or say over the timings. Asked in an interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports News why the league could not hurry the process along, Masters said: "I can't answer that specific question. All I can tell you about is the system and how it works. "I mean, it's an independent judiciary, essentially. So once the allegations, the charge, has been put forward, they go before an independent panel, which is independently selected, and they are then in charge of the process and its timings. They hear the case, they decide the outcome, and we have no influence over that, over it or its timing. That's right from an independence point of view." Masters said "my frustration is irrelevant." "I just have to wait," he said, "and legal processes rarely take less time than you anticipated, but we have to be patient." Taking the Premier League abroad The Spanish league has recently approved a request for a match, between Villarreal and Barcelona, to be played in the United States in December and Masters was asked whether the Premier League had any similar desire to take a game abroad. Masters said the need has lessened. "We did look at the '39th game' way back when, with lots of controversy. I recall that very clearly," Masters said of a controversial proposal made back in 2008 of having an extra round of matches played overseas. "Our objective at the time, when thinking about it, was to help grow the Premier League around the world. "And we've been able to do that through different means, through brilliant broadcast partnerships, through digital technology, investing in other areas, like the Summer Series tournament we've just had in the U.S., and now the Premier League is a genuinely global league. There are billions of people who will be tuning in over the course of the next next nine months to watch Premier League action. So we've achieved that objective by different means, that necessity has dissipated."

Thomas Müller jokes he's missing Manuel Neuer as Vancouver adventure begins
by Naharnet Newsdesk 14 August 2025, 15:55 Thomas Müller has a lot to adapt to with the Vancouver Whitecaps after 25 years at Bayern Munich. First up, flying without an old friend. Aboard the plane taking him to Canada and Major League Soccer, Müller joked it was the first time in 15 years he'd flown without Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper who's been his longtime teammate for Bayern and the German national team. "I'm on my flight to Vancouver. I'm looking for the GOAT. Can you help me? I cannot find him anywhere," Müller said in a video on Instagram. "It's my first flight without Manuel Neuer since maybe 15 years, I don't know. I'm very excited to come to Vancouver to play for the Whitecaps. Fingers crossed for my first games. See you there." The 35-year-old forward admitted to feeling "a little bit nervous" in comments to German broadcaster Sky Sport. "It's the first time in a very long time that I'm joining a new team." Müller joined Bayern's academy as a 10-year-old in 2000 and had spent his entire career with the German champion, winning a record 13 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues and the World Cup with Germany in 2014. At Vancouver International Airport, fans cheered as waved flags as Müller walked through sliding doors after clearing customs. He then joined fans at an airport restaurant to watch the Whitecaps face Canadian Premier League club Forge FC in the first leg of the Canadian Championship semifinals. Müller's last game for Bayern was a quarterfinal loss to Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup in Atlanta, after a months-long farewell from the club. Bayern announced in April it wouldn't be extending his contract. Müller said he understood "even if this did not reflect my personal wishes." The following weeks saw emotional scenes with teammates, club officials and fans as Müller hit personal milestones — passing his 500th Bundesliga game and 750th game in total for Bayern — and wrapped up yet another German title. Vancouver said last week Müller will join the Whitecaps for the remainder of the season in an open roster spot, with a Designated Player option for 2026.
