Well articulated from Barney Ronay.
This make me sad and inching closer to losing interest completely about football. I don’t think I will be able to enjoy football as an escapism, without constantly being confronted to the politics.
This could have been posted in multiple thread, but I guess this is the most generic one.
Saudi Arabia are involved in the new World Club Cup too, which I’ve heard speculation that the goal is to challenge the CL by investing insane sums into a select few Asian and African clubs.
They’re going to try and own the sport, like they already have done with golf. Meanwhile, all the governments and safeguards we have will just stand by and watch (if not actuvely take money from it).
Ahh that’s why there bankrolling that Egyptian side I did wonder.
I think don’t think that club cup will ever have legs especially if they have to artificially pump it.
Yeah, they both kicked off. Started throwing flæskesteg at the players.
One of the first friends I made, Kasper, when I moved to Copenhagen is from Viborg. I was working in an Irish bar in town that attracts a lot of assholes, mostly Chelsea or United fans from the home counties (coincidentally, no doubt).
Anyway, Kasper was wearing a Viborg scarf and a group of three of these lads took it off his neck for no apparent reason, started trying to play a game of piggy in the middle. He KO’d two of them, easing them into the recovery position so they didn’t hit their heads on the way down, whilst the third fucking bolted into the night.
I love a bit of Danish diplomacy.
That Rio one was bonkers. It took about 15 years for any other defender to move at anything like that raw unadjusted for inflation amount.
How is that calculated? Is it solely on inflation?
That skill at the end was pretty nuts tbf.
If you pause it early on it kinda looks like he’s holding the refs balls.

Sadly raising its head, credit to NZ don’t need that shit.
Whatever their bluetick fanboys say in the comments.
The ranking is based on matches played between the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 4th June 2023.
What the fuck is a Golden Boy Rating? 
Southgate:
“I was looking last night, I mean, I always use him, but Luka Modric I think had his 65th game. I think he played in 9 different competitions. There was the Spanish Super Cup, there was a European Super Cup, there was a Club World Cup, there was the Champions League, there was La Liga, there was the Copa del Rey, there was the European Championship qualifiers, a World Cup and the Nations League. And he managed a friendly against Saudi Arabia before the World Cup as well. I mean, he’s 37. In my head, one thing, absolute, incredible respect for him, achieving that. But also, how can we have a player that’s playing in 9 competitions in 1 year? It’s completely bizarre, really.”
Hi.
Wasn’t sure where to post this and this seems a good a place as any.
Can anyone point me in the way of the best place to find stats for players for last season, specifically including appearances/minutes played and which covers tier 2 and 3 leagues and can be viewed by club.
I’m sure I used to be able to do this on transfermarkt, but I can’t figure out how to do it anymore other searching by each individual player to check their individual stats.
I just want something accurate and accessible.
On transfermarkt gonto the club you want to view then select “Squad” and then “Stats”
Thanks. That’s what I was after, I’m sure it used to be a lot easier to get to that screen.
you wear flip-flops/sandals when you’re in the locker room after the game for having a shower to prevent catching foot diseases like planters’ warts or athlete’s foot. I have a pair just for taking my son to the pool for swimming lessons.
A blend from Chile, Argentina and Brazil, it seems.
