Cameroon's 'under 17' team has a bit of a problem....21 of the 30 players turned out to be too old :lol:

Not really a surprise that they're not all actually under 17, I assume, but 21 out of 30 is quite a high number :p

Word is Enzo Fernandez will move to Chelsea for 120+ million Euro. @konig@LDOG

 

that's definitely crazy , those people at Benfica know very well how to market their stars they received at least 350 M Euros from only 3 players Joao Felix , Nunez and now Enzo Fernandez , Chelsea under this American management reminds me of Glazers'era at Man UTD where trillions of Pounds spent for nothing , they already spent a whole lot of money in summer

"The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has threatened to boycott the upcoming African Nations Championship unless host country Algeria agrees to its requests

 

FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa is demanding that a direct Royal Air Maroc flight is set up from Rabat to Constantine, where the Moroccan national team is due to play its group matches.

Algerian authorities have previously closed its airspace to Morocco and remains adamant in its stance.

"We are only obliged to provide transport for the participating teams within the national territory," said Organising Committee President Rachid Oukali, explaining that it was not the body's responsibility to provide direct flights, as reported by Atalayar.

"Most of the African countries coming to Algeria will have stopovers."

The Moroccan National Press Council has also sent a letter to President Patrice Motsepe of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) asking for Algeria to guarantee Moroccan journalists the freedom of the press, freedom of expression and human rights at the Championship."

Well alrighty, no Morocco at the event, I'd assume. Barely a month later and their 4th place has already gone to their heads :p

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
