These folks are crazy. Having the World Cup or continental championships every year would be chaos.

I agree, that they are complete morons. Infantino was very decent when he was in charge of UEFA. These people (IOC included) have this ability to hide their true colors until they get elected and then let loose all their shitty ideas. 

 

That being said, would this be any more different, than what it already is. The Gold Cup and African Cup of Nations is already every 2 years with a WC in between, so they essentially play every year. Copa America is not much different with what, 4 editions in 7 years.. they always seem to find a reason to have it. 

 

It will make only a difference for Europe, though with the Nations League, even the off-championship years are having some kind of national matches in June..

 

3 weeks vacations per year is enough for the footballers, like any regular person, am i right FIFA, UEFA, National FAs, Clubs..

 

De-valuing sporting events is becoming a tradition in the last 5-6 years, so nothing can surprise me for the worse.

Much cruel laughter & mockery in Britain today as Third Division* Cambridge United beat Saudi billionaire-backed Newcastle United 0-1 in the FA Cup.  At Newcastle’s home as well.

 

* Imperial measurements.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
