HUGE balls from Spanish FA.
First time anything Spanish ever gained respect from me. That idiot coach had to go, you dont negotiate your next job before a world cup. Wtf was that from lopetegui

"Lopetegui was pretty bad at Porto and an all around jerk. Don't really rate the guy at all. " <- I wrote this in the WC2018 power ranking thread before this happened. CALLED IT!

The temptation of RM was probably too much and he wanted to finalize the deal without risking disappointing results from the World Cup.

I think it would've been fine in many other contexts when the club future and the country are more separated and less controversial, but especially after the Catalonia stuff it's extremely hard to RM manager being the manager for the whole country.

Temptation, maybe... But you're still coaching one of the best national squad ever. And at Madrid, you're arriving after a guy won 3 CL in a row, with a crying Ronaldo, bailing Bale, and a president that will want to spend tons of money this summer regardless of what you say.

I don't know how he thought he was going to be able to prepare for next season while the world cup was happening. Very unprofessional, and I'm happy the federation kicked him out. Now if Spain fails or if he does not perform right away at RM, he'll be hated reaaaally quickly.

Spanish LEGEND! He has been involved in the set up, i assume he will work alongside U21 coach who also has been involved through out.

the irony of a real madrid legend replacing a non-legend who went behind the spanish fa's back to negotiate a deal with them

i suppose they wouldn't have sacked lotepgui if not the fact they had faith in hierro's abilities

this might be the biggest fucked up ever

man and Spain was looking like an easy top4 contender, not sure how this might affect the team, lopetegui was on serious streak

We are fucked. The players supported the coach and maybe they will make a France...

Lopetegui was a dick, he let the Spanish FA know it 5 minutes before Real Madrid announced it.

But France was decades of tension publicly and privately blowing up into a perfect storm. Don't think Spain has that.

Florentino should not do that deal while Spain is playing the world cup, that was also a dick move, maybe pre talked with Lopetegui but announce it after the World Cup and after talking to Rubiales

but don't worry, the one getting bullied will be Pique anyway lol

Knysna's incident was different. Domenech's only achievement was being on the bench when the old guard gave its last hurrah in 2006.

Then in 2010 we got a big generational gap with the most talented being cunts and no leaders with Domenech being a clueless and talentless cunt with a massive ego.

If anything, Hierro will be like Domenech in 2006 when France reached the final, he does not need talent, just let the big names do their stuff. He does not have anything to do, really.

Also only the FA, Lopetegui and Real Madrid look like idiots. Believe me, Knysna was way worse, from politics to players and everything inbetween they all looked like jerks.

Ok so our crazy Dutch friends who want to be at a World Cup again posted that FIFA rules state you cannot sack a manager the days before a World Cup....the result if you do is you get thrown out of the competition. Netherlands for some reason are "1st reserve" on the FIFA list and are asking to be included in the tournament at the expense of Spain xd

Yes please, would love to face the netherlands on Friday instead of Spain.


Meanwhile, one of the governing bodies of Sporting has suspended Bruno de Carvalho. In theory he's not allowed to enter the stadium tomorrow. He claims the governing body is illegitimate and that he will go to work as normal. There are now two general assemblies - one arranged by Bruno de Carvalho for the 17th to vote on a consolidation of power by him, and one for the 23rd by opposing governing bodies to depose him. THE DRAMA INTENSIFIES (if that is even possible!).

EDIT: Imagine a judge ruling that Trump had done something unconstitutional and suspending him from office - banning him from the White House. Then Trump holding a press conference where Sarah Huckabee Sanders declares that that judge has no authority and that Trump will go to work in the white house the next day as normal. Will the supreme court get involved? Will the police be called to barr him from entry? Will the trump followers invade Washington DC armed with pitchforks?

Lol Spanish FA going full retard. The funny thing is that I don't think that Lopetegui is the guy for Madrid. He is a guy to fill the gap while Perez is searching and waiting. Pellegrini #2.
Now Spain is fucked and the FA boss looks like an idiot. Portugal and Brazil are the big winners here. Portugal, because they will probably get easy W against Spain in the first game and Brazil, because the only other contender for the cup is gone.

Haha... Imagine the Dutch players sitting home, drinking beer and preparing to watch the World Cup with their families and friends. Suddenly red alert, all the holidays cancelled, everybody to full preparation mode just in case Spain somehow gets disqualified.

Haha, there is no reason why we'd be the first team to be called up. There are 4 #2 in the groups that didn't get to qualify, so Italy would be a much more logical choice.
