if :FRA loses in the quarterfinals, there's a good chance that Turpin gets the final for the joy of our friend @hckošice...:yikes::roflmao:

 

just kidding, I guess the final showdown it's between Orsato and Marciniak

I'm unsure FIFA would pick Italian referees for two WC finals in a row tbh. My money is on Turpin if France don't get there and Ramos as the dark horse given how they used to love put Mexican referees in the final. Ivan Barton is the darkest of dark horses since he's had a very good tournament but I'm unsure if Salvador will be deemed big enough to get such a chance but maybe it's time to have a pick like that last seen with Belqola in 1998. Since then we had two Italians, two Argentinians and Englishman. If we get Brazil/Argentina SF or any of them in the final there is no way they will put a CONMEBOL referee in the final.

Do you think Luis Enrique is responsible for Spain's failure?

 

definitely , starting from keeping some valuable players home especially Rodrigo , everybody is talking about Ramos , De Gea , Kepa , Alcantara , but noone is mentioning Rodrigo , the main problem in this Spanish team is the offence for sure , Rodrigo is having a very good season with Leeds and he's such a very good goalscorer i guess he would definitely brought some solutions to this clueless offense , playing with Rodri as CB to open the door for this very old man Buscuests was something realy dumb as he didn't make any use of both of them , Unai Simon is definitely not anyhow a starter for Spain , so he's definitely responsible for his choices

No, But still a decent ranking and pretty much what i Said a while ago. The Top 6 in the ranking are the 6 strongest Teams on Paper of we exclude Germany and it was obvious that Germany wouldnt Play a role at this tournament. My Top 8 of the remaining Teams would be:

France

Brazil

Portugal

England

Netherlands

Argentina

Croatia

Morocco

He isnt the Main reason. I think they have pretty much the Same Problem as Germany (or More the other way round). They just don’t Produce enough World class players anymore (mainly defenders + True strikers) and Stick to an outdated System. I think Germany has More Quality than them, so you could say that they at least got closer to their Potential than Germany. I think best case for them would have Been to reach the quarterfinal. I think with a Better Coach they could have beaten Croatia (After winning their group) or Morocco (After Finishing second in their group), But Even with the best possible Coach they would have Been a clear Underdog against Portugal/Brazil (since they have clearly less individual Talent).

    • I have done some reading about Bulgaria since 1990 and have come to the conclusion that this country remember a little a Ukraine, only it's located a bit better, which is why it's in the EU and NATO. Unfortunately, corruption is big there, and essentially nothing has changed since the 1990s. A huge opportunity was missed. Is it strange that after joining the EU, nothing changed that`s and the EU accepted this country without any reforms? I remember that when Poland joined the EU, it wasn't that simple. Strange. In any case, in 1991, Bulgaria had an 85% voter turnout, and now it's barely 50% and that's a success. Apparently, people have had enough. Neighboring Romania has probably made much more progress since the 1990s, but it must be admitted that it's a much larger country. Currently, Bulgaria can only count on the development of tourism as its main economy, right?

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!

    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
