Thanks for the thread...that red text part hit hard for some reason.
Regarding the poll....we might be risking Rodri but maybe Yamal takes it still given none of the typical PSG players were outstanding in the WC and i dont think the beginning of the season is that much valued unless something strange happens until december.
While writting the above, it clearly hit me that the award is not at all dedicated to the best player in the world, but to the most influencial player in the team that won stuff which to me does not compute and was not the purpose of the award at all in the beginning.
We usually do predictions on league champions to start the thread but its still a a tad too soon for that, at least in Portugal we teams spending a ton of cash which is interesting, and others being more conservative so we need a few games to figure out what worked.

Beautiful picture!
Not sure why a new thread is needed though. Can just rename the old one, can't we?
|
Either or, I saw some comments asking for one, if noone wants one, may as well close it
|
Football thread has been the only active sports thread for years now, unsure if yearly thread is justified anymore tho
|
Oh my. Infantino going to sell out right in daylight in the middle of the market. No more shady backroom deals.
Wonder where he got the idea from to launder his dirty clothes right in public without any negative consequences whatsoever

Somehow I can’t hate the guy, he’s like a disney/comic book villain lmao

Well UEFA is saying their nations will boicot...seems like a decent reaction.
WC goes to the US, this happens right after. Who is infantino getting these ideas from?

Kane’s scored a mental amount of goals, and both Bayern and England perhaps went deep enough so that another candidate who won one of the big titles might not have done enough
The award isn’t really for the best season these days, but I think overall if we’re going there it’s probably Kane

Well, the venture is supposedly with Trump's extended family...
I hope UEFA does pull out of FIFA. UEFA and CONMEBOL should organize a competing world cup if FIFA doesn't back down. If FIFA does back down and Infantino gets sacked, I suggest we establish a Football Security Council within FIFA where former WC champions would get a veto right similar to UN's Security Council. ;p

Can this be closed please? The demand for a new thread isn't what I thought and the old one is still active. Can change old one to 24 to 27 or something

Or probably just remove the year from it
