It shouldn't even be a discussion. It should be moved.

Will UEFA do the right thing? Surely even those idiots will not #### this up.

Yeah it needs to be moved...but you can rarely trust UEFA / FIFA to do the right thing in these types of scenarios.

So I missed the United Atleti game today (fishing), but read, a 1-1 tie at the Calderon.

Still though...you have a pretty weak Atletico at home for the deciding match.

You're in good shape.

Realistically they should be expelled from UEFA altogether, but it's a start.

They should be expelled from FIFA too. World Cup matches in March.

Poland (who play Russia in March) and Sweden and Czech Rep (who would play the winners after that) have announced they will boycott those games if they're played in Russia.

That would be hilarious. The guy with the most stereotypical Russian name no less.

They could rename it: "Her Majesty's FC" or "Buckingham Palace FC" or "10 Downing Street FC"

The whole world is with Ukraine except Belarus, China & Serbia it seems.

During last night's Europa League knockout match vs Sevilla, Dinamo Zagreb supporters show support for Ukraine.

The first part of the video shows the supporters chanting SLAVA SLAVA UKRAINI! which is a popular slogan in Ukraine, and the Russians hate it.


I've been in that stand before and it booms.

Should be fun!
So Saprissa won! Couple corrections though.

Firstly, getting tickets was a nightmare. Think Ticketmaster is trash? ETicket is the worst. Thankfully, she sorted it out and we actually sat in one of their private suites. But let me be clear, these suites are NOTHING like the ones we’re accustomed to. Their own toilet is pretty amazing though.

Secondly I said 20,000 — but due to restrictions; no food or drink. Masks 100% of the time, and approximately 1/3 attendance (not sure of the specifics).

Heckuva experience. Better quality than CPL, and below MLS. The game was entertaining, with a 65’ minute 2-1 winner, then a Saprissa second yellow dismissal, then a half hour full press by Guadalupe to the final whistle.

Great stuff. I can’t imagine that stadium (small steep seats, on top & close to the pitch,) with drunk fans.

Would recommend. I’ll upload a couple pics when I fly home.

Mbappe absolutely balling out tonight so far in his sneak preview to Madrid fans.

Worst part for United fans is he'll probably be sacked tomorrow and immediately available for them to snap up.

Having Neymar -Mbappe - Messi all in the same team didn't work...color me shocked.

Honestly I think this season in PSG really should call into question Messi as a GOAT candidate.

The guy was never elite when he was asked to step outside the comfy confines of a Barcelona team that was tailored to play around him.

First for Argentina, and now for PSG.

Him winning the Ballon d'Or last year is a joke, even if he did finally win Copa America.
