well, it started in this place called Kitty Hawk, down in the Carolinas..... Orville and Wilbur got a little wood and metal contraption off the ground for a few seconds....
This iteration of the CWC is based on the previous four-year cycle since it will only be played every four years, Chelsea won the Champions League in 2021, City in 2023, hence they took the two Premier League slots. I think I remember that we were ranked 6th in UEFA. I expect FIFA to allow more the two European clubs from each league in the future. asitis
no clue where to post this ..... comments from Roger Federer give insight into the mentality of top-level athletes and the margins of error involved. must apply to football as well imo. Mr. Federer shared a stat that surprised many: “In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80 per cent of those matches … [but] even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play.” In fact, he won just 54 per cent of points across his career. What mattered wasn’t perfection – it was focus and resilience. “When you lose every second point, on average,” he told graduates, “you learn not to dwell on every shot.” The goal isn’t to win every point. It’s to play the next one with full commitment.
Generally, people just aren't interested in this tournament. The timing is bad, and it really does seem clearly that they're just trying to a money grab.
why ??? for God's sakes' ... WHY???? Is there no end to the garbage they foist upon us....? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c1k84zyml2no
They are hoping for the explosive interviews: "How do you feel about being subbed?" "Fookin manager doesn't know shit, that ********"
If I was subjected to that rubbish I would come up with a pre-determined list of non-verboten, but nonetheless, jarring and off-putting phrases to interject. Such as - "I couldn't give a tinker's curse what the other team are trying to do out there - they aren't very effective at it."
yet another bullshit idea stolen from US sports. and it's not just the interviews .... Touchline interviews with substituted players and camera access to dressing rooms are set to feature in Premier League TV coverage next season. Camera operators will also be allowed to briefly enter the field of play to film close-ups of goal celebrations.
