I don’t agree with that either. But then I gave up a long time ago agreeing with how UEFA run competitions lets be honest the champions league isn’t for Champions anymore.

Completely, Spurs won a European competition and that was the reward.
The 4 from the Nations League won nothing, they were simply the best of the worst.
Have you seen it? The attacker has a long pony tail, the defender was chasing her, ball on the ground. There's no way she didn't know what she was pulling.

So Sweden didn't win their group in a competition where the reward was a WC place?

Not exactly, they won their group in League C, but then 4 Teams from the Nations League who had the best ranking and didn’t qualify for the WC via the WC qualifying leagues were given a play off place.
So there “reward” for winning their group in the Nations League C is promotion to League B in the next Nations League competition.
The next Nations League in 26/27 won’t have this happening as it is prior to the qualification for the WC in 2030.

He was stupid for going to hold the guys shirt or push him, a real pet hate of mine, but he was jumping for a long ball, with the attacker. Eyes are on the ball all the way, his hand goes out to the attacker as it often does. He isn't going to grab his hair, the guy just had long hair and he ended up holding it briefly. He doesn't pull him back by his hair as the arsenal player did last night. Keane was silly but the officials were over zealous that night.Keane’s defence in his hair pull was more believeable.

Qualification via Nations League playoffs doesn't really bother me. All the best teams will be at the World Cup, so the primary Qualification groups do their job. If you don't qualify via those, then you may get a second chance, but there is more jeopardy to that. It isn't a safety net guarantee.
Nations League and the associated playoffs makes certain games a lot more interesting than just another bunch of friendlies.
And no point in being bothered about Team A was worse than Team B in qualifying, yet Team A is the one going to the World Cup. So many events have multiple Qualification routes. Champions League was mentioned. Getting promoted to PL after finishing 6th in league is another. Not to mention the many ways golfers can qualify for Major events. We could moan all day long about why an absent player deserves to he playing over another, but what's the point?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Yup I saw it. It was an admission she did what she did. Hence it was a sending off. Her explanation was quite frankly pathetic. What I don’t understand is the Chelsea manager got a red for stating the facts. Facts which VAR never looked at.

. When someone makes that bad a decision it is worth pointing it out.

Good on her for not being contrite in the press conference afterwards as well. Quite the opposite as she showed the video footage on her phone.

Due to the price of ticket prices, the World Cup final is expected to make $250 million from ticket sales alone. And that excludes any money made from high end hospitality packages
