Marcelo Bielsa: “Jugar cuatro tiempos en lugar de dos altera la concepción que culturalmente se había construido para interpretar el fútbol. No le agrega nada y le quita mucho. Cuando se dividió en cuatro no se pensó en el efecto que puede tener sobre lo que hizo que el fútbol sea un deporte que enamora, sino que se pensó en otro tipo de repercusiones que no las discuto ni las analizo. Antes de esta decisión el fútbol tenía una característica; ahora tiene otra. La gente se enamora del juego por sus características”.

@YayaToure#WelcometoSlovan
I remember at the time thinking what are the press on about, ridiculing a man for saying it like it is and no one with half a brain in any doubt about what he meant.
@slovak_football Ceferin, while not perfect, seems to have the humility and integrity needed for the top job. National associations should be looking at this as an opportunity to bin Infantino for good.
Chill.
Unless you’re a fan whose visa was denied, losing your life savings.
A referee whose participation was withdrawn after a lifetime of work.
A player who couldn’t focus without certainty as to if, or when, you were going to be allowed to play in the biggest moment of your young life, and most precious memory as you will age.
A country that had to change venues because you’re being bombed by the hosts.
A staff member denied a World Cup after years of dedication in qualifying.
A spectator who sold your house to pay for exorbitant tickets.
Aside from that, relax.
