You would hope that Infanto got paid upfront for it though
I hope this is the World Cup that breaks the hold FIFA has on the game or forces reform. The European Super League would have been a platform for change. It is not remotely democratic to have a voting structure that weights Guinea-Bissau and Brazil equally, it is tailor-made for this kind of corruption.
These folks seem to have a better idea.
This years WC winner will hopefully also be top at this table too 
I know itās old news now, but I was just looking at the winner odds, which reminded me.
What were the odds against Italy failing to qualify for two successive World Cups?
That still seems crazy to me.
Nah, itās impossible to score 100 goals in just seven games. 
While it would be good to know Brazil will win the WCā¦ It will really be shit for Bobby after travelling tens of thousands of miles over the years giving his all for themā¦ to be denied a medal of any sort because he has been replaced in their squad by a player/s who have been on the scene for 2minutesā¦ No loyalty or compassion shown in the selection process eh
3 months is very optimistic VVD had a similar injury it took him nearly a year to recover after the op
Sadio has injured his calf. Not his knee.
Italy didnt make bud.
Worst press conferance by an intelligent man ever. The man is extremely bright, speaks 7 languages, but the whataboutery and abusrd moving of goal posts is just inane and incredibly dumb. He was in attack mode, not defend mode. Attacking every criticism and defending Qatar to the hilt. Asshole.
I would bet Italy has allowed fewer than any of the other teams in that table. Stingy bastards.
Never been so difficult to predict a winner like this year.
-
Brazil are named favorites ahead of every tournament but I canāt take them serious since the day Neymar has become their star player.
-
Germany is sending one of their worst squads ever to a tournament but maybe we can rediscover the quality of showing up when it matters most.
-
England having a very talented group with a very limited manager.
-
Argentina is Messi and Messi is past his prime.
-
same with Portugal and Piersnaldo
-
France struggling with many important players out injured. Mbappe havenāt improved or matured since he won the WC.
-
Spain is far away from the team that won three consecutive major titles between 2008 and 2012.
-
looking at the following I feel that the odds for Belgium and Croatia are too high. Canāt see why they should not win it this year.
And guess where he lives now ?
The European Super League would have protected big clubs and greatly decreased āsocial mobilityā (just using a political term for football clubs) and was a horrific evil in my view. Small clubs need more of the cake, not less. Big clubs can absolutely, and should ideally be forced to, share more. The goal should be deelopment of better football players nationwide, not just at a select few aristocratic clubs. That idea is revolting to me. Rather use the gilliotine and shorten some necks on the biggest clubs and add some flesh to smaller ones. FIFA is awful, but it surely doesnāt help creating a far worse construct like that Super League would have been. More socioeconomic mobility for clubs, not less, I say !
How about him?
I simply disagree. The NHL model has serious flaws, but show me anything like the sheer horror FIFA has perpetrated with Qatar. The power of FIFA needs to be broken, and European club football is the only possible candidate.
