Hello @CityKitchener your bylaw doesn’t work properly, could you please fix it? A car parking in front of a hydrant complaint should take seriously, but it looks like Kitchener’s bylaw doesn’t care much.

20 million euros + bonus it’s fine.

🚨🇧🇷 Como are working on two Brazilians to join as new fullbacks: Yan Couto from BVB and Kaiki from Cruzeiro.

Talks ongoing for both players.

Some numbers on FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket fiasco:

▫️first year FIFA fully controlled ticket sales

▫️ticket prices are 2x Qatar 2022 and 4x USA 1994 (adj. for inflation)

▫️cheapest group stage is $200 and cheapest final is $2,030

▫️FIFA official ticketing site does dynamic pricing (95 of 104 matches saw price hikes; average hike of 35%) and also takes a 15% cut on resales (from the buyer and the seller)

▫️plans to make $3B from tickets in 2026 vs. $1B in Qatar 2022

▫️$3B on tickets equal to Qatar 2022’s revenue from broadcast rights (these rights are the tournament’s cash cow; $4B expected in 2026)

▫️ from 2022 to 2026, projected ticket revenue is up 3x while broadcast rights only up 1.3x

▫️total revenue for World Cup 2026 projected at $11B vs. $8B for Qatar 2022

▫️ticket-revenue maxxxing plan also benefits from FIFA expanding to 48 teams and 104 matches (Qatar had 32 teams and 64 matches)

In the past, FIFA was fine to underprice ticketing because it only contributed 10-15% of total revenue (rest was broadcast, marketing and licensing).

In 2026, clearly wanted to milk the juicy North American live events market (see: Knicks vs. Spurs Game 3) and ticketing is projected to make up 27% of total revenue (with 75% of 104 games in US).

FIFA says its approach is to fight bots and scalpers. The website is opaque, glitchy AF and sucks, though.

Great strategy to annoy fans. Meanwhile, NY/NJ hit FIFA with subpoena to reveal mechanics behind its ticketing process.

Ton of group stage games with unsold inventory. Unless FIFA wants empty swathes of seats in stadium, forced to dump tix on SeatGeek or StubHub (both deny having a direct relationship with FIFA).

Resale market prices tanking, which is pissing off fans that paid full upfront (a lot already decided not to go due to initial sticker shock and FIFA creating artificial scarcity months ago).

Most expensive team to follow is Brazil: estimated $3,800 to see all 3 group stage games (followed by Portugal, Scotland, USA and Argentina).

Isso é mais uma lição de q futebol é coletivo.

"I'd rather have 4 players who score 12 goals each than 1 player who scores 40 goals." Luis Enrique, técnico do PSG

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ Luis Enrique back in 2024 on Mbappé's departure:

"Do I think we're going to improve? Without ANY doubt."

"Next year I will control everything. Everything, without exception."

"I think I was very brave last season when I said that we were going to have a better team without Mbappé. I still think we are better, the stats are there..."

"I'd rather have 4 players who score 12 goals each than 1 player who scores 40 goals."

Eu fico impressionado como a produção dos bastidores cai de qualidade nas competições da @CONMEBOL @Libertadores tudo por não deixarem os times filmarem o campo de jogo. A produção de conteúdo fica muito prejudicada. Não é novidade algo de ruim vir dos organizadores.

[Cruzeiro 🦊 @Cruzeiro]

𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐀𝐑! No Mineirão, o Cruzeiro goleou o Barcelona-EQU por 4 a 0 e classificou para as oitavas de final da CONMEBOL Libertadores! 🦊👊

May 29, 2004: Guga Kuerten beats Roger Federer at Roland Garros.

Unreal moment for Brazilian tennis.

acho q esse gol do MP foi repeteco do gol no Equador contra o mesmo Barcelona

@DataFutebol @pedroivoalmeida pelo meu entendimento o Danilo deveria ter sido levado como parte da comissão técnica como animador de vestiário, não ocupando uma das 26 vagas para jogadores de futebol.

[Luidy @luidynaves]

O torcedor do Cruzeiro tb não tem paciência com jogadores da base. Otávio q agora brilha no profissional, no início do ano o torcedor tava o chamando de chama gol. Torcedor acredita em mística, ou qualquer outra coisa parecida pra justificar o seu ponto de vista.

[Luidy @luidynaves]

O Cruzeiro tem problemas com a transição da base para o profissional? Tem! Porém, criticar é fácil, pq se fosse tão fácil assim, só teria time rico no Brasil, todos venderiam bem seus jogadores. Cruzeiro vem tentando melhorar isso, mas é um processo q leva tempo.

[LeeonardoS7 @LeeonardoS7]

Mais um da pior base do Brasil, a base que não revela ninguém e tem que vender pra Ucrania a preço de banana pra contratar Chico Costa
