North Macedonia no pushovers beating Italy and Germany. 2-0

[Fulham Broadway 16,829]

3-0

[Fulham Broadway 16,829]

5-0

[Fulham Broadway 16,829]

7-0 

As the commentary says on FIFA 23 when you're 7-0 up ''the opponents are going to find it hard to come back from this''

How I hate the English media when England play, overhyped tactically unaware bunch of average players for the majority. Far gone are the days of playing for the badge. Can't wait for the next tournament so we can flop yet again.

Footballs coming home! Right..?

wtf

[Vesper 28,767]

so you have the big 6 in Saudi 

Al-Hilal
Al-Nassr    
Al-Ittihad
Al-Ahli
Al-Shabab
Al-Ettifaq 

my father thinks that 6 other nations (all of the Arabian peninsula except for war-torn, poor Yemen) may try and get at least one one team in the league

United Arab Emirates (at least 2 teams, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and maybe Sharjah )

then one each from

Qatar

Bahrain

Kuwait

Oman

Jordan

[Vesper 28,767]

just saw this

this is crazy

Karim Benzema's FULL EPIC Al-Ittihad unveiling ceremony

 

[Vesper 28,767]

so. just watched multiple podcasts on the Saudi project

they all said the Saudia are going to try and get into the Champions League

my big question is, how the hell do they do that if UEFA insists on FFP for them?

they are committing 20 billion euros in just the next 6 years to build up the Saudi league's biggest teams

how can European clubs compete with that???
