Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

He’s bigger than football so he can announce any time he wants and the world would stop

 

lol

 

Maybe they could get washed up Messi and Ronaldo to play together someday.

 

Messi is the face of Saudi Tourism.

 

The 2030 WC Finals will be the centennial year of the first WC Finals hosted in Uruguay. Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay are bidding for it. They are probably the sentimental favorite to host it, but it won't happen. The hosting rights are not decided by a vote among all football associations, I think. COMMEBOL only has 6 votes (the hosts cannot vote) and possibly the support from some CONCACAF countries. How many votes can they get?

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is planning to co-host with Egypt and Greece. That bid will most likely get most of AFC votes. Morocco is also bidding. At this moment, they are the only bid without a co-host. Can they host a 47 team tournament by themselves? So Egypt might receive most of CAF votes. The Spain-Portugal-Ukraine bid will get most of the UEFA votes, but Greece might steal a few UEFA votes from South European countries. They can easily generate 80 or more votes before the vote even starts. And then, Saudi Arabia has the financial means to influence votes from many many countries.

ANCELOTTI:

"I trained him for two years without problems, in fact, he solved the problems for me. Can anyone who scores at least one goal per game be considered a problem? Cristiano trains very well, he is detail-oriented, he was very easy to manage, He's an exceptional player." pic.twitter.com/GbUIgYvVbo

I'm sure that was true, at that time, this is a different time and a different Ronaldo, who may still think he's 2013 Ronaldo, but of course he's not.

 

Summed it up.

PSG got lucky
Manuel Peter Neuer Just posted he break his leg and finished the season. Won’t play Vs psg in the CL 1/8

 

Oooffff

 

Neuer suffered a small facture while skiing and he's out for the season. He turns 37 in March. Bayern might as well look for long term replacement in January.

 

Don’t they have standard “no skiing/parachuting etc” clauses in footballers contracts?

 

He might aswell retire to the MLS
