There are also other teams (apart Leicester City) that won the domestic championships in last weekend, congratulations :yes

 

:SUI FC Basel :champion: 19th title (and secure place in group stage of UCL 2016/17)

:CRO Dinamo Zagreb :champion: 17th Croatian title (and 11th in a row)

:CZE Viktoria Plzeň :champion:  4th title

:ROU  Astra Giurgiu :champion: first title

:CYP  APOEL FC   :champion: 25th title

:AZE  Qarabag :champion: 4th title

:GIB  Lincoln FC :champion: 22nd title (and 14th in a row)

I knew Gibraltar had one very dominant team, but I always thought it was a bit more close in Croatia :yikes:

 

Here the championship will be decided Sunday, the last day of the competition (apart from play-offs for the European spots and stuff). Ajax and PSV apparently are both equal in points :p

It can't be considering that they govern all of the football and national football federation (which is full of mafia and corruption), plus they have their 2nd club with more than 10 players loaned (Lokomotiva Zagreb), and they are playing in the same league! Yes, it sounds like it's not real, but it is true. Even their fans don't support them anymore, average of spectators in  Dinamo matches in last few years is about 1500-2000 spectators. All of that awful atmosphere also infected on national team, that's why almost no one cares about the upcoming Euro here.

CAS tells Fifa to reconsider Gibraltar’s membership ‘without delay’

 

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ordered Fifa to reconsider Gibraltar’s application for membership and submit it to congress as soon as possible.

The Gibraltar FA had appealed to Cas against a Fifa executive committee decision, taken in September 2014, to reject its application for membership.

CAS said on Monday that Fifa’s congress “shall take all necessary measures to admit the Gibraltar Football Association as a full member of Fifa without delay”.

Gibraltar has been a member of Uefa since 2013.

 

FIFA Statement on CAS decision concerning Gibraltar

Following the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) concerning Gibraltar, the FIFA Council is expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting on 9 and 10 May 2016 and decide on the next steps, including a potential request to amend the 66th FIFA Congress agenda in order to submit the Gibraltar FA’s application for FIFA membership

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
