Instead of the personification of shame
in
football being ashamed, he is smiling,
like
count Dracula, and raising thumbs. His
only point of pride, of course, is the
un-
interrupted flow of cash in his pockets
and in FIFA's coffers. That is not what
football, the most beautiful and the
most
popular sport of the Planet, should be
about, nor should its custody be left in
the hands of such repulsive, despicable
and greedy vultures that are literally
turning everything into a ruthless and
outrageous attempt to draw blood from
a stone, some of them having already
been squeezed and ground to dust...
IMPLODE FIFA
after this world cup!
Let the next one be organized by a
consortium of Associations, with the
sport being at the
center and not with
money, commerce,
glamor and celebrity
being indisputably the guiding
principles.
Roberto Martinez continues (after the
Belgian
saga) to coach in a very questionable
way.
First, his "method"
seems to be:
-Apply pressure so as to take initiative
and
dominate until you score;
-Withdraw and defend until they
equalize;
-Repeat the above as needed.
With such a plan, both against "weaker"
and "stronger" opponents, Portugal is
going nowhere.
Second, by using Ronaldo by fiat,
regard-
less of form and utility, for 90
minutes, he
is demonstrating that he does not have
the
guts to coach a World class team with
al-
most every single one of its players top
class and most of them currently in
better
form than Ronaldo. A participation of a
star
for stardom's sake, must in no way
create
an impediment (being tantamount to his
team playing with ten men), nor is it
one
of the defining characteristics of a
wise
and prudent coach.
The Captain of the Oranje is absolutely
right.
If it had been only about the players'
health
and endurance, this would have been done
on a game-by-game basis and, knowing
FIFA, their mentality and their
ruthlessness,
most likely erring on the side of
jeopardy.
But, when it is for filling Infantino's
pockets
and stashing the dough in the Swiss
coffers,
it has to be done every time on the beat
and
without argument, special consideration
or
any equivocation. This
is who you all have
allowed to administer football and you
should
be ashamed of it and make the
courageous
but necessary decision to implode FIFA
and
build something
different on solid foundations
and on the RIGHT VALUES &
PRINCIPLES.
BRAVO to the Japanese on and off the
field!!
On
the pitch, they showed resilience,
stubborn-
ness and persistence. They went behind
twice,
they gave all they had, with
organization and
skill, and they came back again and
again.
And off the field their fans, by
cleaning up
the Dallas Stadium, showed how much they
respect the public places that admit
them
and that they use and how much they care
to leave them in at least as good a
shape as
they found them for others to enjoy.
Civili-
zation and Civility lessons from the
Land of
the Rising Sun. THE
GREATEST
RESPECT!
BRAVO, JAPAN!!
USA-Paraguay 4-1
GO

Olympiacos-Ferencváros

LEN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2026!
Max Allegri or Antonio Conte
for The Azzurri!!
The fact that the first four spots on
the Table
were won and lost in the last couple of
Days
in Serie A just shows how competitive
the
League has become. I do not agree with
the
decisions of the directors at Napoli and
at
Milan to let two of the best Italian Coaches
of their Generation and two Members of the
Pantheon go, even though they
might have
wished for more and they might have
expe-
cted more. They surely must hope that
these
decisions do not come back to bite them
next
season. On the other hand, I am very
pleased
that JUVE stays focused and dedicated to
the
project begun under Luciano's leadership
and
I hope that, only very few adjustments
and
minor changes will occur during the
summer
transfer period and that the main
skeleton of
the TEAM stays the same (including Tim).
Do not try to fix something that is not
broken!
