How come Declan Rice is supposedly the best midfielder in the world, yet every time you watch him play, he's bang average?
Biggest myth of a footballer ever? The boy Anderson next to him is much better.
There’s more quality music being made right now than any person could listen to in a lifetime. These takes keep appearing because discovery requires real effort and nostalgia requires none.
See this timid, barely there approach to South African xenophobia happening right now from Aso Rock, I can't understand it, and I'm so ashamed. Could NEVER be Baba Iyabo.
Context considered, Lionel Scaloni’s tenure with Argentina is probably the single most impressive coaching job I’ve ever witnissed in all my years as a football fan.
And I do NOT say this lightly.
As someone who has extensively researched almost all presidential candidates since 2011, I know Obi is a poor articulator of his ideas. Apart from his populist ideas like cutting waste in government, reducing corruption and his personal frugality, he usually expresses his proposed policies direction rather poorly .
He mostly struggles with the "how" of his ideas.
This is a valid reason not to support him, if you choose not to.
However, if you the support Tinubu (which is also a valid decision) and are justifying it because Obi struggles with articulating his ideas clearly and often struggles at interviews, you are being hypocritical.
Tinubu is mostly unintelligible. His words are slurred, often meaningless and responses to questions are usually travelling on a tangent.
The truth be told, of the three leading presidential candidates, Atiku is head and shoulders above others in the clarity of his proposed policy directions and articulation.
In fact, the only presidential candidate in recent history that trumps him in this area, is Kingsley Moghalu.
If you, however, think this is not enough, and for reasons such as his age, alleged proclivity for corruption, etc, you choose not to support him, your reason is also valid.
🚨 OFFICIAL: Real Madrid statement on Negreira case.
Real Madrid C. F. communicates that, in relation to the so-called 'Negreira Case', he has presented to UEFA a letter addressed to its disciplinary bodies.
In this letter, the club has informed UEFA of the existence of relevant evidence that conclusively reinforces the indications already known from the beginning about the existence of long-term payments, opaque and lacking any verifiable justification, made by the F. C Barcelona to the one who was vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, José María Enríquez Negreira, through different corporate structures.
Real Madrid emphasizes that these facts constitute, from the perspective of sports disciplinary law, a systemic risk of maximum gravity for the integrity of competitions, by evidencing the existence of a structure of undue influence on the arbitration system, incompatible with the essential principles of competitive equality, neutrality, impartiality and unpredictability of the sports result.
In this context, Real Madrid has urged the immediate resumption of the disciplinary file initiated at the time by UEFA, considering it unacceptable that this situation has been prolonged over time, since its persistence seriously compromises the credibility of football, its institutions and its leaders, so it demands a firm, exemplary and immediate response in the sports field, independent of the future of the ongoing judicial proceedings.
Therefore, our club asks UEFA, in the exercise of its own, autonomous and independent competence, to adopt the disciplinary and restorative measures that are appropriate in order to guarantee the integrity, transparency and proper functioning of the competitions, without this implying, in any case, replacing the function of the jurisdictional bodies of the State or anticipating a criminal qualification of the facts.
In this sense, Real Madrid, in person in the ongoing criminal proceedings as a private accusation, will exercise, as it has been doing since its inception, the actions that correspond at each procedural moment.
Real Madrid reaffirms its commitment to the defense of the essential values of sport and will continue to promote as many actions as necessary to ensure that events of this nature do not go unpunished.
The whole “Messi vs Ronaldo”’ thing shows how human beings will always be tribal. There’s nobody that doesn’t know that Messi is actually far better, but people have decided to choose a side and stick with it. That’s fair, but they know.
Just put him on with some English pundits and you won't be able to tell who's American if you ignore the accents
He's just unfortunate to be sharing a panel with 2 very charismatic ex-legends
Put him with random old British men who call themselves pundits and he'll be fine
Excellent performance but won't be labelled a great one because the likes of Ferran cannot finish from 6 yards out.
Most of his game has been a clinic showing how to play as a midfielder against low blocks.
All Manchester United fans are critical of FC Barcelona for not recognizing the world class quality of Rashford and instead releasing him to play next season for... Man Utd whose fans don't want him there because he is not good enough.
An amazing phenomenon to follow.
America has taught the World that You can Deny Visa to certain Athletes to the World Cup. Known Career Footballers & Officials with No Plans for Illegal Migration. 1 day a Host Country will Ban the strong Players from Others Nations to give their Team a Chance to Win it. Bet 😮💨🤐
🚨 FIFA statement on Thomas Partey left out of Canada.
“FIFA can confirm that player Thomas Partey will be unable to travel from Ghana's Team Base Camp in Boston, USA, to Canada for their first match against Panama on Wednesday, 17 June, as his visa application has been refused by the Canadian government.
"FIFA is not involved in the immigration processes of host countries, including the adjudication of visas. As with previous FIFA events, the host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and is admitted into the country."
