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???

Also UEFA = Union of European Football Associations.

Last time I looked Saudi weren't in Europe - then again Israel sneaked in because Arab countries refused to play them. Political minefield.

Another clean sheet. Has any team ever gone through the entire tournament without conceding a goal?

Colwill is immense, Young Lions first European Championship final since 2009

England v Spain final

Soft as shit. Justice prevails. Well done England. 

Colwill better have that #26 kit waiting for him when he arrives at Cobham. 

[Fulham Broadway 16,851]

Amazing by England under 21s European Champions 2023. 

Didnt concede a single goal -Colwill and Madueke immense

[DH1988 1,273]

Noni is going to be some player if Poch can get get him doubling down on his end product, as he gets into some fantastic positions, somehow.

A Costa Rican footballer has tragically died after being devoured by a crocodile while taking a dip in a river to cool off. 

Jesus Alberto Lopez Ortiz, whose nickname was 'Chucho', died after he was mercilessly killed by the reptile on July 29 as he tried cooling off in a river in Río Cañas, Guanacaste Province, in Costa Rica.

Horrific images show the father-of-two fighting for life as he was carried away by the animal in its jaws. 

Fucking hell, what a way to go
