Quote from: The Larch on December 05, 2022, 11:12:44 AMSo CR will end up joining a club in Saudi Arabia after the WC. So much for demanding Champions League football back in the summer...

Read he's getting paid €200m (!!!) for a year, counting salary and endorsements.

Yup, an absolute obscenity. I guess he'll have some oil wells to his name with that salary.

He's going to be the face of Saudi's 2030 bid  :ph34r:

I don't see how that was a penalty against Richarlison in the Korean box.  If the defender is already kicking at the ball and the other guy comes from behind him, how can that be a penalty?

Third Brazilian goal was class.

Is FIFA going to allow it though?  ( I know, I know - laugh away).

But really - both 2018 and 2022 WCs were awarded under Sepp Blatter's regime, and both were highly criticized.  FIFA has at least appeared to try and clean up its image, got rid of Blatter, and the 2026 WC award seemed to be above-board.

A 2030 Saudi World Cup would be going right back to the gutter, wouldn't it?


Hmm... googling apparently the plan is to co-host with Greece and Egypt, being a three country, three continent bid.  I suppose Saudi think that'll help soften their image - but it's not like Egypt has a great reputation either.

Quote from: Duque de Bragança on December 04, 2022, 03:46:48 PMThe next quarter final, France-England is not that common in the World Cup, so you'll have something new to watch.  :P

This will be the greatest owning of England by France since the Battle of Castillon.

Well, for football's sake it would be good if a non-European/non-South American team goes to quarter finals.

So for the sake of global football we are all Moroccans today. That's it.

No. My list of priority is England, then Argentina for Messi's sake, then Spain, then I don't care.

EDIT: actually I do care. Anyone but Portugal.
