6.5 out 10 teams from South America for the 2026 World Cup

lol CONCACAF will also get 6.5, now thats pretty stupid, most of those teams are beyond terrible

You think theyll be worse than the 9th team from Asia or the 8th from Africa?

Concacaf:

Mexico
USA
Costa Rica
Trinidad & Tobago
Panama
Honduras

What the hell is the half for. I'm pretty sure that's every team from CONCACAF that has qualified for a World Cup in the last 50 years or so. They're trying to give Canada a chance?

Alves 2 assists in the first leg, almost another tonight and a goal, kept Neymar at bay against Barcelona, damn, every team must dream of free agents like him.

5 years at Torino including the last 3 as captain, I think he took more than his fair share of "tricks" coming from the Juve players... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Juve was too strong, at least a goal saves the pride a bit.

Also: Like this afternoon I got news from the Kicker-app that Tuchel and BvB extended his contract. Was that wrong news?

Weidenfeller extended his contract today.

Tuchel hasn't.

They are investigating Pogba's agent Raiola.
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/6a7lbq/foot_mercato_raiola_was_simultaneously_and/

That guy made at least 40 million € with the Pogba transfer. And apparently he did that by getting paid from all sides which is not allowed.

Regarding Tuchel, apparently there are problems between him and his bosses Zorc and Watzke. Probably because they dont buy players as he wants to. In German the term manager never refers to the coach but to what is called general manager in English I think.

I warned of Tuchel before he was even a BVB coach. How that guy forced himself out of the Mainz contract was so sickening that this news does not come as a surprise to me. Tuchel prolly got an offer from Barca or Arsenal and now tries his best to get out of his BVB contract by sowing disscent

It is incredible how bad is the actual Barcelona directive. They are fucking the team since they got elected. They sold Thiago very cheap and now they midfield is terrible. They let Alves go free and we are without a decent right back. Sandro went free to Malaga without getting any money, now he is scoring lot of goals and Malaga is going to sell him for a lot of money. Messi/Neymar/Suarez are already like 60% of the team salaries and they keep asking for new contracts each year, and the rest of the team is more mediocre each year. And the list go on.

I miss Laporta so much...

They should sell Neymar to get some funds imo. Replace him with Coutinho and invest the rest in defense and midfield.

ive said it before but when messi retires barca is gonna drop as hard as man utd did when fergie retired. the quality of the team has been on a steady decrease and without messi they wont even have someone to carry them. they wont play the same kind of football either because they simply cant

Yeah a few years ago they completely abandoned their youth academy which was doing wonders for them and adopted the Florentino style. Just buy expensive players and hope it works. Their style of play which was prominent during the dominating years has all but disappeared.

When Messi retires/gets older, and to lesser extent Iniesta, Barça will take a lot of rebuilding.

From what I read it rather seems like Watzke wants to get rid of him. Recent news were also initiated form the Watzke side. And the problems between them seem to exist for some time already. Of course Tuchel can also be responsible for the existence of those problems.
In any case it seems indeed likely that Tuchel will leave BvB after this season.
