Hope they get it. Having a tournament not hosted in a Fascist dictatorship would be great, and that's not even talking about Qatar.Some early reports of Portugal & Spain going for joint bid for the 2030 World Cup.
That'd be pretty awesome. Plus by then the stadiums will have been built/restored by the clubs themselves (similar situation to the UK), so whatever spending there is it'll be on transportation infrastructure (probably).
We'll take Ceballos, Llorente, and Reguilon on loan with an option to buy in 10 years time that we won't actually activate because we are poor.They definitely need to sell some players, James, Ceballos, Llorente, Kovacic, maybe Bale, i suspect the big sale could be Isco, i'd take him in a heartbeat with a reasonable price.
That's fine but being a German Turk doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to kowtow to Erdoğan; see: Emre Can.By now, people should already know that Özil is probably someone who identifies as a Turkish who just happens to have been born in Germany. That the current Tuskish President is a piece of shit is mostly circumstantial. If the president were another kind of (e.g. less dictatorial) populist, Özil would probably do exactly the same.

Florenthanos will sort it outIs it just me or Real need to sell players to comply with FFP?
They've spent close to 200 million and more to come apparently who can they sell for big money to balance things out?

Is this a joke post?There's never a lack of people who will lap up the current leader of their country/region/whatever without taking into account any political ideas, be it Erdogan, Trump or Berlusconi to give some examples.
I'd even say that the number of footballers who have a well meditated political position (no matter if I agree with them or not) are probably a small percentage and most just go with whoever is in power at any given time.
I could be wrong, though. A lot of athletes seem to follow their managers advice of not making their political opinions too clear to avoid "offending" anyone. Therefore, it's often hard to tell whether they are hiding them or they have none whatsoever.
Jesus Christ... This has to be one of the best kits I've ever seen.

Still hope we see a UK & Ireland joint bid one day.
There were reports last year that UK were bidding for 2030 as well and would be announcing a bid this summer, hope it's true but no idea if plans have changed.
No.
Russia used 12 stadia, so going off that and adding for the extended format to go to 16:I feel the UK is, currently, in the best position. A lot of their stadiums have been rebuilt recently-ish and the old ones (the big ones I mean) are still very much up to the challenges and requirements from FIFA/UEFA. And they probably have better transportation infrastructure than us as well (trains, metro, more comprehensive bus systems, etc).

because it's a lifeless bowl? didn't want to put the OS on but it's got great transport links.

That's a good point.
Hoping it will be rebuilt by the time we ever get a WC here.Can't be subjecting fans to Olympic Stadium. Throw that one out.

Not sure if it's OK to post this here but it doesn't deserve its own thread. However, I know that, at least, Italians, Portuguese and, obviously, Brazilians enjoy futsal.
F.C. Barcelona has won the first playoff match against El Pozo Murcia.
A couple of nice goals in this Twitter thread.
That's Spain pretty much since David Villa left Barça and Torres fell off. Costa/Morata/Alcácer just aren't/haven't been that talismanic poacher they've been missing.Spain looking like they're gonna lose this match. So much possession but not looking threatening.
Got a couple of mates who have Orient season tickets, this must be so devastating after such an amazing season coming first in the National League.Leyton Orient manager Justin Edinburgh has died at the age of 49. The former Tottenham, Portsmouth and Southend player was taken to hospital on Monday after a cardiac arrest. and died six days later. "We are completely heartbroken by this tragedy," Orient chairman Nigel Travis told the club website. Edinburgh, who won the FA Cup with Spurs, led Orient to the National League title this season as well as to the FA Trophy final. He had previously managed Northampton Town, Gillingham and Newport County. "All our thoughts and love are with the Edinburgh family and we know from the messages that have flooded into the club over the last week that the wider football world will share our sentiments," Travis added. "The success that Justin brought to Leyton Orient was incredible, but more importantly the impact he had on us all as a winner and a wonderful, inspirational human being will be his legacy and will stay with us forever."
This idiot seriously needs to go fuck himself
No I meant the women's team. They were playing against South Africa in the group stages. They ended up winning 3-1 though with two penalties.That's Spain pretty much since David Villa left Barça and Torres fell off.

Fair enough, thought it was some Euro qualifier. I want to watch the WC but I'm kinda burnt out on football right now.No I meant the women's team. They were playing against South Africa in the group stages. They ended up winning 3-1 though with two penalties.
Yeah understandable. Only trying to keep up because for the first time Jamaica's competing in it.Fair enough, thought it was some Euro qualifier. I want to watch the WC but I'm kinda burnt out on football right now.
Yeah those two things are the only interesting parts to me tbh. The other features they were mentioning just seems like they mention them every other year (ball physics, new defending and attacking moves, intelligence blah blah...).I feel weird. FIFA 20 kinda interests me this year. I like the addition of Volta and the changes to penalties and free kicks.
Which is why I'll be skippingYeah those two things are the only interesting parts to me tbh. The other features they were mentioning just seems like they mention them every other year (ball physics, new defending and attacking moves, intelligence blah blah...).
lol yeah. Haven't bought a fifa title since 14. just play my friends' copies every year. Needless to say it was the right decision.
Di Marzio saying we're in again for Gómez and want Lobotka too for €60m
A 24 year old CM and a 22 year old striker, that would be bang on our needs ...Therefore it absolutely will not happen
