Multiple MLS teams have also chose to boycott their games tonight. It seems like 5 of 6 games will not be played.

Now, both both genders can get paid whatever meager salary the Brazilian FA probably pays players :p

@Olympian1010  Yeah, male players make money in their clubs not from their country FA tbh. This is like those NBA players, they make money from the clubs and the league itself, not for playing for 'Dream Teams'. Hell, most top US basketball players don't even want to represent their country anymore.

 

Women's club football is only moving up but that's still long off the men's game and it will never reach that status tbh.

 

@Gianlu33 Meanwhile :POL Arkadiusz Milik wants to stay in Serie A. His Napoli tenure is over but he rejected an offer from RB Leipzig and apparently Roma and Fiorentina have shown interest in signing him.

the AFC Champions League group round is ongoing in Qatar (all matches in Qatar) and the defending champion Al-Hilal (KSA) is in trouble. almost their whole squad is COVID positive but they don't want to withdraw ! in few minutes they will start their last group match (against an Emirati team) with only 9 players ! :facepalm: they have only 11 players available including 3 GKs

 

Al-Hilal is already qualified, they don't care about this match but in 3 days they have to play Round of 16 and it's not clear if their players will recover in time or not, funny story for the richest club in Asia.

 

------------------

 

AFC cancelled the match because of some AFC regulations (13 players are necessary to start a match) and also forced them to withdraw (somehow disqualified) from the competition.

Pavel Hapal fired.

 

A few minutes ago, our federation ended its cooperation with the national team coach.

 

Despite advancing to the finals of the Euro 2020 qualifiers Play-Offs, The general assembly of the Slovak Football Association evaluated the results in the ongoing UEFA Nations League B (4 matches and only 1 point) and the overall very poor team's performance in the September & October matches as insufficient and not fulfilling the legitimate expectations of the professional and general public.

 

The last nail in the coffin was the embarassing fiasco against Israel, a match we lost after leading 2-0 at the half time (Something never happened in the whole history of our NT) !  Especially the way the team was playing this fall was legitimately marked as unacceptable.

 

The Czech former Czechoslovakia and later Czech Republic football NT quite decent midfielder was the coach of :SVK national team since 22 October 2018 after replacing the most successful coach in our NT history Ján Kozák. He led the team in 17 official matches with a record 6 W - 4 D - 7 L

If they hold on a bit before signing someone new, maybe they can have Frank de Boer who was appointed coach of the Dutch team late September and is not exactly doing much good :p

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba?

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
