Vietnam stay calm amid Harimau's war dance
KUALA LUMPUR: As Malaysia procure more and more naturalised players, their rivals, Vietnam are just their natural selves — staying cool. Harimau Malaya's neighbours calmly go about their training, which began at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Centre on Saturday. Malaysia's latest announcement is that Colombian-born striker Rodrigo Holgado has joined their team for the Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on June 10. Vietnam Football Federation vice president Tran Anh Tu and general-secretary Nguyen Van Phu had met with head coach Kim Sang Sik — who guided Asean All Stars to a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Bukit Jalil on Wednesday — and their players, and talked about the importance of tactical discipline. The Vietnam team appear confident, and the country's veteran football commentator Quang Huy said that Sang Sik has a core of experienced players well-versed in their national team's playing style and tactical requirements. "I believe Vietnam can secure at least one point in this away match, then aim for victory at home in the return leg," Quang Huy reportedly said. Vietnam have brought in newly naturalised French-Vietnamese defender Cao Quang Vinh Pendant who used to play in France's Ligue 2 and former national striker Nguyen Cong Phuong after a two-year absence. Cong Phuong told the Vietnamese media: "I can feel the strong spirit and desire to contribute from everyone in the team." Vietnamese football pundits believe the limited time that Malaysia's naturalised players have spent together could affect the team's chemistry.

Canada Goose prioritises Paris and Milan for 2025 retail expansion
'Our expanded design teams in Paris and Toronto are accelerating the development of new products in multiple categories,' said CFO Neil Bowden in conversation with financial analysts. Expanding the product range is primarily designed to boost customer loyalty. 'Apparel continues to be our fastest-growing category, for both the quarter and fiscal 2025,' Baker said. 'Our data shows that consumers who discover us through apparel are more likely to become regular customers,' she added. Ackermann's expertise is expected to add new range depth to Canada Goose. And the elements of the Snow Goose line are set to begin to percolate into the brand's entire offering in the coming seasons. 'Snow Goose remains an opportunity. It's a much bigger opportunity to bring the brand to life in a very different way. Haider's creative vision, his aesthetics, his approach to craftsmanship, all of this continues to delight our consumers. I'm looking forward to finding out about this shortly. Haider's seasonal capsules will feature entirely new styles, colourways and fabrics, among other things. It's very exciting. I think consumers will be very interested to see Canada Goose adopt a slightly different look as we move forward,' said Baker. Injecting the creativity of the Colombian-born French designer, who is working in parallel at Tom Ford, is also expected to enable Canada Goose to differentiate price-points between its evergreen products and new items with a more directional aesthetic, which will benefit, according to the brand, from increased agility in terms of product drops. It is a big challenge involving substantial investment, and Canada Goose said it would increase its investment budget for the current fiscal year, though it didn't provide revenue forecasts for the fiscal year ending in March 2026.

Producer, DHS Mulling Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete For Citizenship
Source: Anadolu / Getty Because Trump's America can't stop dropping into the depths of hell, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which was once a serious arm of the federal government, is in the early stages of a new reality show that will have immigrants competing for a fast-track to citizenship. O-M-G! THIS CAN'T BE LIFE. According to the Daily Mail, Rob Worsoff, the producer of Duck Dynasty (of course the producer of Duck Dynasty would be involved in this) approached Kristi Noem, the head of DHS, about the idea, and if you know anything about Kristi Noem then you know that she loves herself some Kristi Noem. Since being appointed as the head of DHS, Noem has budgeted some $200 million for anti-immigration ads all starring her. She's so daft that she had trouble explaining why she's not spent money that was allotted for the care of immigrants during a recent congressional hearing on why the Department of Homeland Security keeps making videos. So it's fitting that Noem is now allowing the Department of Homeland Security would allow the immigrants' citizenship to be trivialized into a reality show. Worsoff told the Daily Mail that he '…envisions celebrity immigrant hosts welcoming immigrants who would then undertake competitions across the country, such as digging clams in Maine or rafting in Colorado.' I can't even keep typing. Seriously. In the movie of America, this would be the part where you, the viewer, would get up and walk out, because this part would just be too grotesque to continue. This exploitative and insensitive path to citizenship is not only inhumane, it's dehumanizing. Source: Anadolu / Getty And you know who doesn't care? Trump's America. Because in the Venn diagram of deplorable and disgusting people, the overlap is between Trump voters and watchers of Duck Dynasty . 'Tricia McLaughlin, the top spokesperson for DHS, acknowledged that agency staff are reviewing this pitch and had a call with the producer last week. She insisted Noem is yet to be briefed on the initiative,' the Daily Mail reports. 'However, has confirmed that Noem supports the project and wants to proceed.' McLaughlin told the Daily Mail : 'I think it's a good idea.' Of course Noem is on board. Noem has used her position within DHS to promote herself, so you think she's not going to have some role in a reality show based on her department when she literally can't stop fawning over the reality-TV-show-host-turned-president? Worsoff is already pitching possible celebrity immigrants like 'Colombian-born Sofía Vergara, Canadian Ryan Reynolds and Mila Kunis, who hails from Ukraine, as possible hosts who'd greet each contestant with a welcome gift—a personalized baseball glove,' the Daily Mail reports. 'This is not, 'Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country,'' Worsoff told the Daily Mail . He also noted that this would not be an immigrant version of The Hunger Games . He also noted that he pitched this idea way back when Obama was in office, but the best president to ever do it kindly told him to kick rocks. Worsoff would call the show The American , which would also be the name of the train that would take them around the country for the various competitions. 'I'm not affiliated with any political ideology. As an immigrant myself, I am merely trying to make a show that celebrates the immigration process, celebrates what it means to be American and have a national conversation about what it means to be American, through the eyes of the people who want it most,' he told the Daily Mail . Please, someone find the flux capacitor so we can get out of this alternative America. SEE ALSO: Why No One Should Listen To HHS Secretary Robert F.
