It is absolutely sad yet I would not be surprised if infungulo appointed Vince McMahon to head CONCACAF FIFA executive.

Here is a tip. Open up a bet365 account. Put 1 dollar in, don't bet and watch Pork and Cheese to your hearts content. No commentary though but for a dollar not bad. Get to view South American football as well.

Bean counters said NO.

UEFA Nations, Copa America fill the gap.

Most do sweet fuck all over 4 years anyway. How many qualifiers do they play as is? France/Germany played 6 games to qualify over the 4 years. England 8.

Exhibition match, unfortunately yes.

The only way to make 3v4 interesting would be automatic qualification for the next WC. Same for the runner up in the final. With the planned 64 team circus it would be irrelevant, yet a 24 team WC, I can let my imagination run riot.

There is no personal cost to being wrong.and they simply pivot to the next controversy..... Much like every politician and senior bureaucrat in Australia.

Sad part of it is that after seeing what FIFA and infangulo have done over the last 12 months and in particular the last 6 weeks it wouldn't surprise me. Unlikely yes yet giving the freedom medal to the orange "four time bankrupt" dildo would not have been on anybody's cards 12 months ago either.

Interesting take. Met a mate haven't seen for about 6 months. Started talking about NRL and his beloved Dragons and the shit they have become. Anyway the topic gets on to Australia's WC2026 tournament. Long story short, his reaction is that FIFA didn't like the way Poppa successfully played...

"Poppa Out" can go on the backburner for a while. As I put in another post, the board needs to go. No more professional board sitters.

The bookmakers had Argentina at 1.80 for a double chance 2 minutes before they scored. At that stage of the game within an even match, it is normally between 2.30-3.00. The bookies never bet against themselves. There was no way to hedge this match.

Maybe Franky and co can stump up the other 36 million.

It is how they play. This stuff goes on in Sth America all the time in particular 2nd divisions ( the sneakiest teams are the Colombian Primera B teams). This is the stuff that Australians need to be exposed to or at a bare minimum have one of these type assistant managers on the bench to teach...

Introduction of time out break instead of calling it "hydration break". 1 per half for each team. Just like the bullshit convid 5 sub expansion that was never rescinded.
