Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[concise]

I get the sporting aspect, but there’s also a tourism aspect no? Idk what there is in KC to do. Idk, perhaps Chicago would have been a better choice.

If all the extra stuff mattered, there wouldn't ever be a World Cup in Qatar.
Kansas City is no LA or NY but just because it doesn't ring bells internationally doesn't mean it's not still a big city.
It's a big city with a big stadium.

Every city in Russia 2018 wasn't some world class tourist city. That doesn't matter.

We know how Qatar got the WC. So kinda irrelevant.

And that other stuff does matter. They look at the capacity for hospitality within a city/region. I mean a state like Michigan has stadiums for UM, MSU and the Detroit Lions but they got no bids. All that stuff goes into it.

Russia doesn’t have as many eligible stadiums as the US so they’ll go with what they have.

The US has the infrastructure to legit host an entire WC entirely in the Northeast. Maryland alone has M&T, UMD stadium, FedEx etc.

Serious question: who is available that would make Chelsea appreciably better?

Dembele, koundae, Sterling and Gabriel Jesus make us immediately Better really anyone who can create would be good.

Osimhen. 3 way deal.

Lukaku to Inter. Dzeko to Napoli. Osimhen to Chelsea.

Napoli would never do that deal. Osimhen to Dzeko is a heavy downgrade.

His softness rubbed off on the Celtics

Boston played like p#ssies ever since he was at Game 4.

Chelsea have done fukk all

We are monitoring situations

Florentino Perez is still salty of Mbappe

The most shocking thing to come out of Pogba's six year tenure is that they named his doc Pogmentary instead of Pogumentary?

Yea, the States does have enough stadiums to do a World Cup in just the Northeast, California, the South, the Midwest, etc. but that would defeat the purpose of doing it here when there are stadiums in almost every state that arw eligible. This would be like hosting a World Cup and excluding every team from Asia and/or Africa.

Ford Field put in a bid and they didn't get accepted. Neither did DC. Kansas City did. Accept it.

Ten Hag getting that Jose 2018-2019 transfer window.


We also linked with that Vitinha guy who flopped at Wolves. He has a 40M Euros release clause.
