FIFA has punished countries before for not granting visas but since Infantino is Trump’s pet, now they’re pretending to be powerless as this administration makes a mockery of the tournament
-Shootings near the England camp
-Japan having to move twice due to terrible facilities
-Players and refs can't even get into the country
-The ball doesn't bounce on the pitches
-$150 trains to get to stadiums that aren't fit for purpose
They've had 8 years prep for this 😭
Uefa coaches analysed & praised Arsenal defending in the #UCL final. “This led to a collective call for a renewed focus on prioritising defending in youth development – especially at a time of outstanding speed, physicality, technique and tactics on the attacking side.” 1/2
If those three Community Shields were counted as part of Pep Guardiola’s 20 trophies in 10 years at Man City, why did it sound like it was something unheard of when Arsenal fans counted Mikel Arteta’s two Community Shields as part of his trophies?
There is context to this tweet.
Back then, if you win the UCL and not make top 4 in the league, you’ll displace whoever is in 4th position.
Chelsea won the UCL, but were 6th in the league.
They displaced Tottenham who were 4th, those ones got sent to Europa League.
Arsenal were 3rd, which meant there was “no influence on Arsenal’s status” despite Chelsea winning it. It was Spurs that suffered.
If this happened today, England will get an additional spot, unlike before. Let’s banter and stay in context please.
