When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’
Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.
So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
It's rare to find someone as technically gifted as him who can also press as effectively as he does. He'd be a superb signing for Liverpool. Class player Alex Scott.
‘Liverpool will therefore need to manage their financial resources well’,
ahh well, it’s not like we just let a 50/60m asset walk out for free or anything
Any other top clubs in recent history lost as many star players for £0 as us?
We’re fucking pushovers nowadays, even to the point we’re letting one of our greatest players ever with technically a year on his contract go for free too.
👍
Mo and Robbo are glad to be going. Alisson is desperate to leave. Curtis Jones wants out. Endo and Chiesa want to leave. Gomez has pretty much said he’s going to. Wonder why all these #LiverpoolFC players are leaving and want to leave #LFC ? Wonder if there is common factor?
