Teve um cara aí que com 21 anos era bicampeão da Copa do Mundo, campeão da Libertadores, campeão mundial por clube, bicampeão nacional e tetra campeão estadual
Sporting Lagos has been involved in massive publicity for the Lagos Derby vs. Ikorodu City; vendors have been paid for it, people have bought tickets, and the club is coming to sell their jerseys after much anticipation from fans. Hotels are booked, and BOOM—Onikan Stadium won't be available on Sunday, and the game has been moved back to Friday.
A state with one standard pitch not CAF or FIFA standard that over 8 professional teams are managing, but politics is bigger. ❤️
A very interesting country. 💪🇳🇬
A Korean university student who loves Football Manager has become the owner of a club in Malawi!
He travelled to Malawi because he wanted to visit obscure football clubs and ended up at Chizumulu United, a tiny club based on an island of around 4,000 people.
After he returned to Korea, the club contacted him because they couldn’t afford the $300 fee needed to enter their competition.
He paid it. Then he ended up becoming the OWNER of the club.
Since then, he’s documented the journey on YouTube, brought in sponsorship from Korean companies and Puma, and even took Chizumulu’s coaching staff to South Korea to visit professional training sessions.
They finished 6th out of 16 in his first season. Now they’re 3rd and fighting for promotion.
Someone has actually started an obscure Football Manager save in real life.
Hubo todo un debate a mediados de los 2000s, para lograr que la CA se disputara cada 4 años, como la EUROCOPA. Era lógico, el torneo se devaluaba si se hacía todo el tiempo.
Partió el 2007, 2011 y 2015. Se hizo una excepción el 2016 para el centenario. Siguió el 2019. Pero Messi no lograba ni un título a nivel de selección.
Entonces metieron un torneo el 2021, que no tenía sede 2 meses antes del torneo. Que lo acogió el que había hecho el último torneo (algo menos serio que repetir sede?), se jugó sin público. La final fue un escándalo arbitral. Todo para que Messi pudiera al fin ganar algo.
Para que vamos a hablar de la CA 2024, más arreglado que cumpleaños de niño chico (recuerdan el sorteo?).
Una vez logrado el objetivo: Messi multicampeón con su selección. La leyenda ya se construyó. El negocio ya rindió. Misteriosamente se acuerda que el torneo vuelva a ser cada 4 años. Sin ni un intento por disimularlo.
Brutal.
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Copa America returns to it's original calendar!
Between 2015 and 2024, the tournament was held every TWO YEARS. Now it'll go back to being held every four years.
Messi finally wins it and the schedule's back to normal. 🇦🇷🤔
Being in your 40s is wild. One friend is a grandma, one has a newborn, one is celebrating 20 years married, and another is dating a 25-year-old. Half of us look 28, the other half pulled a muscle sleeping. 😂 No timeline, just vibes. 😭
An 8-year-old boy walked through those doors. A man walks out. Dream lived. Purpose fulfilled. To every academy player at Chelsea: keep believing. Your time will come. Never give up. 💙
