Hva hvis vi øker tempoet på alle klippene til 125%, så ser skuddene ser enda hardere ut? 💡🤦🏼‍♂️

Kan jeg anbefale å flytte hele VM til Canada?

"Ballon d'Or? It's just a bunch of journalists and people voting for their friends." — Johann Cruyff was ahead of the curve on this one...

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4 a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Bruno Fernandes has more G/A in the Premier League than Wirtz, Palmer, and Ødegaard COMBINED this season. The standard ALWAYS surpasses the substandard. 🔝🇵🇹

Watching the City-Arsenal game — one challenge with building a squad this summer is that you don’t know what type of football will be allowed in 26/27. If PGMOL keeps allowing the same level of clutching and grabbing as they have this season to accommodate Arsenal and City — you must build one type of team. CBs on the full back positions. And so forth. If the PL reverts back to allowing the same level of clutching and grabbing as was allowed between like 1992 to 2022 — skilled players will be very effective against squads heavy with 6’2 players.

In 2024 Chelsea received a €5m add on bonus from Real Madrid as a result of Real reaching the Champions League final for the sale of Eden Hazard. Hazard had retired from football in 2023 and Chelsea earned €150m from the deal overall. According to the Premier League negotiated settlement with the club Chelsea received no on field advantage from signing Hazard from Lille for €35m in 2012 and therefore a £10m fine was appropriate rather than a points deduction.

Dette må være verdens mest nedrige mann. Donald Trump er definisjonen på drittsekk

The big problem @FA_PGMOL has is how today the modus of every defender in the PL when dribbled past — is to pull down the attacking player. It doesn’t matter if you are in the penalty area or if the attacker is in alone on goal. In other words — the “tactical foul” — is committed even in situations where you give up a penalty and/or a red card. Why are defenders doing this? Teams and players acts in a way that pays offs. Commit 5 fouls like this, and you give up 1-2 penalties and red cards — and you probably prevent 2-3 goals. And it is clearly the reason for why the PL in 25/26 only is about set pieces and there is a record number of 0-0 games. This evolution has been driven by Arteta and Pep who have teams that are extremely smart with the tactical fouls. They are disciplined and don’t commit fouls when their defense breaks down — but every time someone breaches their defense by beating a player 1 on 1 — it’s stopped with a foul. Since they get away with it everyone else is starting to follow suit. And the Mings, Tarkowskis and Maguires of the league is having a renaissance. A Amad Diallo skips past defenders 6-7 times per game. 6-7 times per game, he is hauled to the ground by the defender. And he draws on average 0.7 fouls per game. UEFA’s official twitter channel asked this week — if you could make a team of XI with only one player, who would it be? I think Valverde was most commonly mentioned. But seriously — in the PL, in the way it’s reffed by PGMOL — a team with 10 Dan Burns would be unplayable, right?

Carrick: “There are enough people to standardize the decisions. If one isn't a penalty, the other isn't a penalty.”

Helt korrekt straffe til Bournemouth og rødt kort til Maguire. Og så er det like åpenbart en parodi at Amad ikke får straffe på en like tydelig holding 20 sekunder før Bournemouth fikk 1-1. Men de hadde tross alt fått én straffe fra før, så da utgår visst VAR også.

Carrick won't do it because he's a decent guy but he really should let fly at the ref. No holds barred.

I alle dager… Twum er/var ingen dårlig spiller, men utviklingen etter at han dro fra Start… 😱

Kan jo tilby dem Nathaniel Junior-Brown i bytte?

Samtidig gjøres det lite i England, selv om PL/FA vet at serievinnerne i 13 av de siste 21 PL-sesongene er tatt for juks. De har ønsket pengene fra både russiske oligarker og autoritære regimer velkommen, og har nå ingen vilje/evne til å rydde opp når juksingen avdekkes.

Dette er pinlig, både for Marokko og for afrikansk fotball, som dessverre virker ganske så korrupt… Men i en verden av gjennomkorrupte ledere som Trump og Infantino så har vi nærmest sluttet å la seg sjokkere av slike ting.

This is how Senegal responds to tonight's decision

Restoring confidence you say. Maybe we should ask for more than a fine in the case of Chelsea’s industrialised cheating, which was overseen by a (later to be sanctioned) state aligned actor. £10m means nothing to current owners, a PE firm with $185 billion in assets under management. Or perhaps we’d have more confidence if City, owned by another state and found guilty twice by UEFA, hadn’t been able to run out the clock through lack of cooperation and an army of lawyers? (Receiving a pointless fine in the process.) That’s not even getting into the fact that we are yet to hear a confidence building verdict on 115 other charges of mega scale cheating at City. Confidence in justice is destroyed but it’s because the biggest cheats seem to get away with it.
