In a way I understand it. Messi is perhaps the best player ever but he has always been a sort of spoiled child too. He hates to be critizised and that's why all criticism, even if it's the truth, must be avoided to prevent Messi from getting annoyed... If he left it would be a disaster that might lead even to the firing of the managers...and they know it so they have zero tolerance about it... He's a great player but I',ve never been too fond of him. He reminds me of Cesc Fábregas... money is the most important thing for them and they don't care about the teams where they play as long as they are well paid...
Arjen Robben hits out at players moving to China - 'You are basically acknowledging your career is over' Looks like this guy's ambition is cannot be swayed by large amount of cash, at least for now.
Top 3 highest annual revenue for a football club for the 2015/16 season according Deloitte Football Money League: Manchester United: £515.3m Barcelona: £463.8m Real Madrid : £463.8m
The numbers coming from a mega consulting firm too, go figure Oh well, when it comes to finance related matters, see what Arsene Wenger had to say about the contract situation with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/822040870979416065/video/1
Vissel Kobe make a bid to Lukas Podolski. I hope it'll come true because I hope J-league can compete CSL. Vissel Kobe is another club sponsored by Rakuten beside Barça. United sold Memphis to Lyon, now the legendary #7 is empty. Now they're chasing Griezmann to wear such number, maybe we'll see another transfer saga that leads to another world breaking deal. But, what if he becomes another flop?
No more Gabon in Africa Cup 2017 Maybe they should retired number 7 from list..the pressure to high Waiting him to became Tevez Ver.2
So Gabon aren't a though team. I wanted to see Aubameyang on world cup. He could choose France as he was born there & Spain as his mother is Spanish but he chose his father's nation, Gabon. Algeria are about to be eliminated to. They were good when Halilhodzic was the coach, now he's coach of Japan. Cote d'Iviore are eliminated. Many favorites went flop on AFCON this year.
It's confirmed that Japan will be invitee to 2019 Copa America. CA isn't important to Japan but it's an event for the youths to improve. I think Japan can take their wonderkid Takefusa Kubo, he'll be 18 at that moment and he'll play against his mentors, Messi & Neymar.
He can play on UEL? BTW, did you attend match of Catalonia vs Tunisia last December? Xavi made his return to Catalonia.
Javier Tebas (Liga president): "Goal line technology in La Liga? It costs too much money." WTF. I'm pretty sure if madrid gets such disallowed goal, he'd change his mind.
I love how Real Madrid tried to force Celta Vigo to play a game in virtually tornado like conditions hehehe... what a bunch of jerks
I'm afraid nobody is completely innocent here. Bearing in mind that the season is already packed with matches, they could have played in another stadium...but Celta plays a very important match this week, so they were anything but willing to play...
