I daresay that was better than Messi's dribble from the Copa del Rey final  In other news, Elche have been relegated from La Liga due to financial troubles, meaning Eibar gets another season in the top flight! Hahahaha it's like a first time Fifa player mashing the sliding button So sad | ||

Neymar: Ballon d'Or? That trophy has already an owner, our number 10, he's the best, he makes the difference. I hope to be on the podium. I shed a tear. | ||

if the investigations find that Qatar and Russia only won the elections because of bought votes, the selection could be voided. However so far there has not been proof for that. There is also another article, that there is apparently an internal Fifa investigation that has found something on Blatter. Both articles are behind a paywall and there are no English reports so far, but the German media is running with the first story and the newspaper seems reliable. | ||

Looks like the long term plan for Dani Alves's replacement. The possible alarm is that he just had a breakout season this year, and is now going to be sitting out of competitive club games for 6+ months. Probably will get time for the Spanish nat'l team though. | ||

This sounds rather silly but I guess it's understandable that he'd jump at any chance of playing for Barcelona. | ||

FIFA, the international soccer governing body, could strip Russia and Qatar of their World Cup hosting rights if evidence comes to light there was corruption in the bidding process, a FIFA official said Sunday. Domenico Scala, the chairman of FIFA's audit and compliance committee, said that 2018 World Cup host Russia and 2022 World Cup host Qatar could be in trouble if allegations of bribery turn out to be true, Reuters reported. "If evidence should emerge that the awards to Qatar and Russia only came about thanks to bought votes, then the awards could be invalidated," Scala told the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung Sunday. "This evidence has not yet been brought forth." Both countries have denied anything improper went down during the bidding process. Qatar officials have called the allegations of a corrupt bid "prejudice" and "racism." "It is very difficult for some to digest that an Arab Islamic country has this tournament, as if this right can't be for an Arab state," Qatar's foreign minister Khaled al-Attiyah told Reuters last week. "I believe it is because of prejudice and racism that we have this bashing campaign against Qatar." Qatar's bid in particular has been questioned ever since FIFA announced its award to the country in 2010. More than 150 migrant workers who are building the stadiums for the tournament have died, while others claim they're subject to a form of modern-day slavery. Qatar's summer temperatures, which can reach highs of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, have also prompted officials to move the tournament to winter, which interferes with European league play. Meanwhile, Russian president Vladimir Putin has cast the bribery concerns as American overreach and a conspiracy against Russia. Source | ||
