That man was one of my favourite footballers. Such a class act.

Vialli and Ravenelli at Juve was one for the ages

Rest In Peace

Doubt United rumor is true but Cristiano got him out there quickly

I always thought the US would give Tab Ramos a shot to manage the national team.
Was a major figure of US soccer in the 90s, and he's put in years of work with the youth squads.
Oh well.

Crossed my mind also. He coached some of the USMNT players when they were younger. But he doesn't have the best record or W/L as a coach so maybe that plays a factor. Still did good coaching the U20's so maybe he's more of an international coach than an everyday coach.

Could see Josh Wolff getting a shot down the line.

Tbh, I wouldn’t mind Aboubakar in loan for like 6 months. Barring injury, he’s a great striker and good professional.

When fully fit he’s better than Igahlo

Morocco may have started a movement.

For dual nationality Africans, outside of FA fukkery, the two main drawbacks for declaring for an African nation are

1. Qualification
2. Performance

With 9 slots for 2026, you’d expect all the big nations to qualify with a few newcomers every now and then (Mali, Burkina Faso)

And Morocoo has shown that yes, African teams can perform at the highest stage. Nketiah looking at Ayew miss that PK for Ghana like

Luke Shaw is basically our 3rd choice centre back.
