Sibdane Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 not sure what to say there steve. he served his time he should be given a second chance. although you do wonder how he got off from a 22 year sentence in only 7 years served. corruption in Brazil? it's rampant. 7 years after murdering your spouse and unborn child is not enough time to be considered fair. Hell, 22 years isn't even enough. He doesn't deserve a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sampaoli and his style, but leicesters parked bus and counter is the kryptonite to a high line press and all out attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're going to win it but you can't just dismiss them because other sides are better than they are. Upsets happen. Leicester have shown that more than most.

Louis Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've just read that one of the more known NFL teams, Oakland Raiders are moving from California to Las Vegas because of funds for a new stadium (that looks like the black Power Ranger!). It's 500 miles away. I saw one fan comment that he'll continue to support the team if they keep the same colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes unlike football the NFL feels no allegiance to their city they move to wherever is more money. Case in point my Cleveland browns literally leaving in the middle of the night to go to Baltimore. Scumbag owner did it. He's a villain here and a hero there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can keep their old name and new city so Las Vegas raiders or choose a new nickname. They'll keep raiders as they have a large fan base.

markjazzbassist Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 http://www.espnfc.us/blog/fifa/243/post/3092362/six-team-playoff-planned-for-completion-of-2026-world-cup-lineup UEFA - 13 to 16 CONMEBOL - 4.5 to 6 Africa - 5 to 9 Asia - 4.5 to 8 CONCACAF - 3.5 to 6 Oceania - .5 to 1 (basically new zealand auto qualifies for every one) laughgable. utter shit. Africa 9 and asia 8? CONMEBOL should get 8 and Asia 4. CONMEBOl 8th placed team is ranked 43 by FIFA right now. Asia's 4th is ranked 55 right now. CONMEBOL is the powerhouse of national team football, those little asian and african countries would get slammed even by the likes of peru and venezuela.

markjazzbassist Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah, I have to say I'm surprised that Africa and Asia would get more than CONMEBOL. the thing they use against them is there is only 10 teams in CONMEBOL because the rest of the countries play in CONCACAF (guyane, suriname, the islands, hell even panama could play there). I guess with 8 teams in conmebol it would be play to draw and just get enough points to not be bottom. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
