Re: New Brazil manager: Dorival Jr leaves Sao Paulo to take job

The CBF President whom he was talking to got sacked by the Federation. Carlo moved on afterwards. FIFA threatened to ban Brazil and toss them out of the Olympics. I believe there is an upcoming deadline for the qualifiers. The CBF President was reinstated by the courts and had to hire a FT Manager s...

Re: FIFA U-17 World Cup Every Year From 2025

It can’t be financially sustainable without expanding FIFA’s calendar. Pre ‘86, FIFA only had 3 tournaments. The men’s WC, U20 and U17. The men’s WC is the only profitable FIFA tournament. It essentially funds all the other tournaments except possibly the women’s equivalent (of late). They now have ...

Brighton renew interest in Calvin Bassey

Brighton have renewed their interest in centre-back Calvin Bassey as a possible alternative to Levi Colwill. They were interested in Bassey last summer, when the versatile 23-year-old joined Ajax from Rangers for £18.7million. Signing a left-sided central defender who can also play at left-back to a...

His transfer fee plus wages was worth 90M GBP. Amortized (depreciated - same concept) over 5 years which is 18M per year. Sold for 65M GBP with 36M GBP left on the books. Havertz bought for £71, sold for £65. I still can’t tell who got the better of the deal. Chelsea seem to have done a good job of ...

Re: World Cup 2022: Awarding Qatar the tournament was a mistake, says former Fifa president Sepp Blatter

I doubt it. Russia and Qatar were the last hosts selected by the 20+ FIFA Executive members. It is now selected by all the member FAs. I believe if they vote tomorrow, Qatar will still win especially if a UEFA or Commebol country bids for the rights to host. They will sports wash their way through m...
