Gravenberch was running the show..
Haaland hadn't had a touch..
Enzo and Cherki nowhere...
So what does the Manchester ref do..
Sends Gravenberch off after City players surround him some waving cards for two soft yellows that most pundits said weren't even yellows...
Totally changed the game..
Why give such a high profile game to a Manchester ref...
There is 1 ref based in Merseyside. He's never officiated Liverpool or Everton as he is not allowed.
There are 3 Manc refs. Taylor, Kavanagh & Tierney. They've refereed Utd or City 209 times.
After the Prem look into City they need to look into the PGMOL.
• Went toe to toe without their squad depth or their spending
• Lost two titles by 1.1cm and one unpunished handball
• Held a winning head-to-head record
• 3 UCL finals in the same era, knocking them out along the way
• Won 3 of 4 against them in their Centurions season
• Chased a quadruple they never managed
• Won every trophy available 18 months before they did
All this while prime Manchester City were constructed by cheating and shouldn't have existed.
Pep over Klopp argument is officially dead. Klopp was robbed of a dynasty at Liverpool
My daughter plays sports. The last thing I’m worried about is her having a trans teammate or opponent. I’m far more worried about her male coaches and trainers. That’s the conversation we should be having.
Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
FIFA are supposed to suspend countries whose politicians interfere in how the World Cup is managed.
Go for it Belgium. Take legal action Court of Arbitration in Sport, Switzerland, and US courts all at the same time.
Do it for the game.
The first SENTENCE of the 1st Amendment states:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.
If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage.
This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.
“Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, has not yet understood the GAME.
Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood LIFE.”
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.
