So thats why southgate didnt pick Toney for the WC then...................

I can’t believe the hypocrisy from the PL and FA with regards to gambling.

At least 7 PL Teams shirts are sponsored by gambling firms, more have “Official Betting Partners“, every football programme is sponsored by a bookmaker and football is generally saturated with gambling firms/sponsorship.

The authorities have a duty of care to protect these players.

They always come as favourites but then never show up. Hope they dazzle with some cracking play this year.

Brazilian football died in 1982.

The loss to Italy caused a rethink about how Brazil approached football....they won a turgid final on pens against Italy in 1990 1994...were crucified by France in the final in 1998, then sailed through a weak group in 2002 before scraping their way to the final to beat an equally unimpressive Germany.

Since then....nada...QF's in 2006, 2010, utter humiliation in the 2014 SF against Germany, QF in 2018.

Brazilian football needs to rediscover its soul.

No beer sales in the ground, what a fun world cup this is turning out to be ?
was that part of the bid, or did they just snug it in last minute? Budweiser might not be pleased if they got surprised by this.

Just looked at google maps, Italy is only 4000 km away. Maybe move it there, get the italians involved as well, they miss out otherwise ;-)

Snuck in at the last minute, was all agreed then there was a change of heart last nght having already asked that the beer stands around the stadium be more discreet and be tucked away.
