A40: Pogba and Kante are 5x better than these jokers they have in midfield
Same France beat Argentina at that last world cup nau I agree. The presence of the duo would have allowed Griezman function solely as an attacker (SS) |

A40: 0.0 xG
Just a pathetic performance. This is what happens when you don't have any midfield controller or creative. Nobody that can draw fouls, keep possession. TBF, the same French beat Croatia 4 yrs ago without a true midfield controller. But I guess fatigue played a huge part in Croatia’s loss cos their prior 3 knockout matches either lasted 120 minutes or went to penalties |

A40: They're not playing like a serious team. If I knew it was this rubbish they would play I would have ceded defeat before kickoff It’s like Mbappe has told them not to be too aggressive cos he wants his senior man to win |

The stadia I’ll choose for the Benin/Nigeria 2025 AFCON bid would be: Abuja Lagos (potentially refurbished national stadium) Uyo Asaba Kano
Then if Nigeria were to choose 7 venues, I’d go for Port Harcourt and Abeokuta/Teslim Balogun stadium |

Meanwhile, Italy went 576 mins without conceding a goal from an opposition player at the 2006 WC |

The layoffs have officially spread beyond tech and into finance and retail. Wow! No sector is safe. Even BestBuy would become an online-only store by 2024, if they keep up with their present rate of store closures |

Danielnino00: Nigeria and Benin republic have officially submitted a joint bid to host 2025 AFCON.. Algeria and Morocco also submitted a bid I agree with one other poster who said Algeria/Morocco could win. After losing out on hosting the 1994, 1998, 2006, and 2010 World Cups, CAF may just compensate them with hosting the AFCON.. |

Deltamani: Outcome of the FIFA Council that met today in advance of the FIFA World Cup final in Doha, Qatar include ▪️ The creation of a new FIFA Women’s Club World Cup, a new FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup and the expansion of the Olympic Games Women’s tournament from 12 to 16 teams have been endorsed. ▪️ The current international match calendar structure will remain unchanged until 2025, with the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 and 2031 hosts to be decided in 2024 and 2025 respectively. ▪️ The principles also include proposals to revise FIFA’s youth tournament inventory – including expanded annual Under-17 tournaments, both for boys and girls.
While confirming that FIFA’s revenue at year end would stand at USD 7.5 billion – USD 1 billion more than budgeted – the FIFA Council approved the budget for the 2023-2026 cycle, which will see a revenue of USD 11 billion, of which a substantially increased proportion will be allocated to football investment, amounting to USD 9.7 billion.

I'm excited by the introduction of the Futsal tournament, which will likely be dominated by Spain and Japan |

Now, FIFA are reconsidering the format for the 2026 World Cup  There was no way that the exciting last round of group games at this year's World Cup would go unnoticed by the higher ups. I'm predicting either a format of 16 groups of three teams (with group winners advancing to the round of 16), or 12 groups of four teams, with group winners and runners-up, as well as the best 8 third-placed teams across the groups advancing to the round of 32. I'm sure FIFA and the confederations and other stakeholders (including FIFpro) wouldn't mind accommodating a 5-5.5 week WC |

Aflix: Indeed. Combined with the fact that they are really close friends. Coach Regragui would be best served if he sets up Morocco to defend in zones to contain the wide threats of Mbappe and Dembele. If he details 2-3 players to follow Mbappe, space will open for Griezman and Giroud to do damage. |
