No good drama is complete without a believably conflicted hero.

 

Worrying.

As I am a very sad man who wasted a lot of lockdown making ill advised football merch purchases I can advise that futfanatics.com.br ship pretty reliably to the UK. You’ll be able to get a shirt and print over here no problem though.

He can't get 39 for Brasil? Seems like a weird number to be already taken.

 

FIFA rules - can't be any greater than 26 (or 23 in previous tournaments where that was the squad size).

What an absolutely 100% board certified wank operation they have there...

 

I mean it's hardly controversial or unreasonable. Set squad numbers have literally been a thing at every international tournament ever played.

 

Higher numbers are possible at club level only because it's feasible to have far more players. Although even in the PL you can't pick the very high numbers (50-99) unless you literally have that many youth players named with numbers.

Ah is that actually a rule like? Was wondering that when I was watching the Napoli game last night.

Yeah Serie A you can pick whatever you want up to 99.

 

PL you generally can't just pick the really high numbers. It has to be consecutive and closest to the nearest high number. Renato Sanches at Swansea tried to pick 85 and was told he couldnt - and there's quite a few other examples in the past. It's usually just youth players who then have the high squad numbers so you'll often only see those in league cup games and the likes. One of the few first team players with a high number I can think of is Alexander-Arnold who seems to have just retained his number since he broke through
