Always felt Dutch players and managers hate the national team.

Deschamp has too many cacs in the starting 11 right now. their midfield consist of Kante, that bum Rabiot and the safest "attacking" midfielder in Greizman. that midfield is curving out chances. wft is wrong with all these intl coaches?

Good, FFP was bs to start with as I don’t agree it should be a closed shop (Citeh still broke those rules regardless ), at least we can drop the pretence that the rules are actually worth shyt



Hopefully hastens FSG selling up too as it was a big reason for them buying in the first place

FFP was tridash. All it lead to was UEFA being punk ass bytches and backing down 90 percent of the time. City spent without a care in the world. Hopefully that leads to Glazers bowing out.

Club football has taken away some of the passion between the players. Brehs aren't getting paid 500 bucks a week anymore, these guys are mini businesses themselves.

Country before club always I missed my Super Eagles



If your country ain't shyt, that's on you best believe we been fiendin to get these AFCON qualifiers done

Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Juventus are the darlings of UEFA.

The English Clubs are the step children.

Football is a game of fine margins. Sometimes officials can get it wrong in tight calls which shouldn’t raise the suspicion of onlookers. Example Eto being slightly offside against Arsenal in 2006. Luis Garcia’s goal against Chelsea. And so on.

But the criminal decisions that Barcelona and Real Madrid has had over the years has been disgusting. Van Persie’s Red Card. 2009 Chelsea-Barcelona game at the Bridge. Bayern v Madrid 2017 referee decisions. Ramos butchering Salah, Ramos failing drug test and I can’t remember which final it was but he should have been sent off in one of finals against Atletico. And Barcelona got some ridiculous calls against AC Milan; it was 2012 I think.

The corruption of Spanish footballers and Spanish football has no bounds. I know it will never happen, but Spanish Sports especially football from 2008-2014 was a drug tainted era, the Spanish club and national team dominance is and was highly questionable. If the truth came out, no doubt the national team and Spanish clubs would be stripped of their titles. They completely dominated Champions League, Europa and international football at levels never seen before.

I won’t even touch Messi taking HGH during his development phase, the greatest cheat code in human history. Why this isn’t talked about I will never understand, HGH is a magical substance especially regarding neurological development

Only Super Eagles have had me crying like a baby several times. In times of sadness and joy.

International football is just plain tired and stale.

I dont even know the last Tournament I cared about or enjoyed.

International footy is basically a cure for insomnia. And club football aint much better either

The qualifying process for international tournaments is trash and I hate that it interferes with domestic football.

Wenger is urging the game's governing body to turn their attention to bringing in uniform scheduling.

"It's my dream you know, it's not a dream I share with many people at the moment but I just think I have the advantage of having worked in Japan," Wenger, who managed Nagoya Grampus Eight in the mid 1990s, told beIN SPORTS.

"We played from March until November and it was perfect. You would not have anymore 'he won the Championship in season 2018-19.' No, the championship was won in 2018 or 2019 and in 2020.

"In fact, I believe as well, we have to re-organise completely the calendar. In FIFA, with [president Gianni] Infantino, we try to make meeting with all the stakeholders of the game to completely reorganise the calendar year, because you have to plan in the future where you may have to travel less."

March - November season might be the move
