Had the same thought, but Nations League may not have extra spots for the World Cup, so it'd only be relevant to tank on purpose every second Nations League.

It was 100% the best thing about the World Cup. Rules actually were enforced.

He's very large in the Arrowverse fandom. He's essentially made for life through that, and has free access to starring in those shows. There's no need for him to put himself in a show like this either for money/attention like the others, is what I'm saying. Might I suggest that your expertise is secondary on this occasion. You may not.

He's Brazilian, bound to have his career go bust in his early 30s for some reason.

John Barrowman feels far too big time for that fucking show, and that's saying a lot about how shit the rest of the "celebs" are

Amazing news.

except they've looked completely incompetent defensively and now the attacks stopped working. Considering the investment made they've been very shite. Not sure on Ranieri, he's a good manager but not sure he's the ideal choice to come in mid-season to try and get something resembling organisation out of that defence They've got money to do stuff in January.

Said Fulham would appoint an actual manager. Laughable thinking they'd go British PFM.

Didn't even get a yellow.

Is that entirely true? It could be that he loses 80k if he doesn't applaud. It's how it's reported in Football Leaks. It's a bonus he gets for applauding fans.

Neymar gets paid £4.2 Million a year extra if he claps the fans after the game.

I think they'll give him until the January window but can totally see fat Sam going there. Honestly don't think Fulham's owner would go for Fat Sam. I think he'd roll the die and try to attract a big name. Can't think of many available atm. Always thought Fulham would get in a PFM, if not Jabba then Moyes. Hoof ball to Mitrovic. Lovely stuff. Hope that's after the 22nd December, like. Owner is filthy rich, he'll nab someone to try and lift the spirits rather than go PFM. But it's all just a feeling based on the stuff I've heard/know about their owner, so I might still be well off with my thinking

Seri can't play in the cold. For real. "The midfielder has a problem with chilblains on his feet that means he almost cannot play in cold weather. “When it’s cold I need special treatment,” he told Le Point. “I don’t see myself playing in a country where it’s cold. I hurt everywhere and I can't train.”" Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!!! Is that for real?! That is crazy. How did they sign him after he's said that! It's real. He's said it in multiple interviews. One of the main reasons he signed for Nice was the climate. Then he fucking went to London

The TV money and such get shared with "shit" clubs that only, in the eyes of the big clubs, make up the numbers. It's the same argument they use against the national leagues. Think UEFAs only way out of the formation of a super league in the near future is to establish a new version of the CL where "super" clubs have guaranteed access and there's no teams from "shit" countries.

Disgrace the Leicester player got carded for his goal celebration.

In my view, clapping = respect for a life well lived, the memories given and similar after someone pass away for natural reasons. Silence is for tragedies, and this certainly was a tragedy. You don't clap for tragedies.

A pittance compared to what they can make in a closed shop super league. People are vastly underestimating the money these clubs can earn by fucking off. Now, hopefully it’ll all burn to the ground if they do, but there’s very little UEFA can do to stop it if the clubs make the decision purely from a money perspective and not history/sporting perspectives. What's this based on exactly? the idea that they could earn so much more in a super league. Would you not be surprised at a massive TV package that dwarfs the current PL package? Not to mention the price hikes to tickets etc that enough people would probably still be stupid enough to pay. I still think it would implode within a few years when the novelty wears off but I think it'd make complete financial sense in their eyes at the initial stages. Not to mention the money get in from TV deals, price hikes and extreme exposure the clubs would get - in addition to not having to share it with "shit" teams in their national leagues and european competitions. At this very moment, Crvena Zvezda has made more in TV money from their CL appearances this season than Liverpool (due to going through qualifiers).

yep, so long as the Champions League continues to pay them big it won't happen. Not unless UEFA/FIFA do something really stupid to make them say fuck it we're out and doing our own thing without you and forget taking players for internationals. Especially have a hard time seeing any of the English clubs being that enthusiastic about it since is it really going to pay more than the premier league tv deal combined with champions league money already does? They can make about ten times more just treading water in the super league than if they win the CL. There’s not enough money available to genuinely compete with what a super league can do for the clubs financially unless UEFA stop paying the «smaller» clubs in the CL their share of the money. Even then, the TV rights for a super league will dwarf the money paid for the CL rights.

The plans for a «Super League» have come far as well according to the leaks, shares hve been divided among clubs and plans to start in 2021/22, with the clubs leaving their national leagues and european competitions.

I actually forgot there was a game on today. RDR2 could be blamed, but still. Apathy well and truly setting in

Assume the assumption is that teams will no longer save the last sub to save time, so if there’s injury there just wouldn’t be a sub left. Not read all the details tbh, just the headline and first paragraph
