There's rumors the Chicago Fire and San Diego FC are interested in Mo Salah. I think he's more likely to join Ficticius in the Saudi League for beaucoup bucks.

I find it hilarious to see Real Vardrid act like a team in a relegation battle when they drop to 2nd or 3rd in La Liga. Those fuckers have to be most spoiled and entitled bastards (real and plastics) ever.
 
Holy shit, poor Wolves cannot catch a fucking break:

So yeah, today is the Intercontinental Cup final between Flamengo and PSG.
Apparently it will also count as a World Championship, which makes me wonder why they organized the Club World Cup in that new format in the first place.
 
Whys my guy bootlicking the jeets

PSG just beat Flamengo on penalties.

Do they get to call themselves World Champions like Chelsea? Don't know, but their Russian goalie had the game of his life, defending four of Flamengo's five shots.

I thought I wouldn't see a club lose 3 penalties in the same match again in this season.

My Internacional managed to do that in Copa do Brasil but flamengo managed to do that in the most surreal ways possible.

Also what the fuck was that Dembele penalty? Also that Rossi defense was kino.

Good game tho, it was FUN.

They also completely fucked the format. Originally concocaf, africa, asia, and the winner of oceana vs host country would play and the winners would play concocaf and uefa champions. Now they made another level so uefa champs would only play the finals
 
Brazilbros, what's the scuttlebutt on Poundland Ancelotti leaving Botafogo? I don't keep up with South American football much but I do know Botafogo were on top of the world like a few seasons ago. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Botafogo fans happy? What's the 4-1-1?

Just heard the news. Botafogo isn't particularly popular outside of Rio de Janeiro, and most people were kinda-sorta expecting their humongous success in 2024 would not be replicated this season. Not to mention John Textor is in a bit of a fiscal rut with his other clubs.

Apparently, Ancelotti Junior asked for his release because the club's board sacked a key member of his coaching staff without even consulting him on the matter. Also, he was so-and-so during his time at the team, and most people felt he only got hired because of Carletto's appointment. The 4-4-1-1 formation only worked with the proper pieces, but was kinda lacking in goal scoring. With Igor Jesus gone, they had to make do with whoever they had.

As an addendum: We've been having a big influx of Portuguese and Argentinian coaches in our domestic conpetitions because our own staff isn't up to snuff, save for some very specific cases like Filipe Luiz and the guy from Mirassol. I expect Botafogo will follow suit, since they won majorly under Artur Jorge.
 
Ancelottinho may be one of biggest cases of nepobaby in brazilian football ever. I don't think anyone cared for him or rated him as an important piece of this season, even more after the gigantic success of last season...

John Textor is what happened. This idiot fired the coach of his second division Belgian team right before they went into promotion playoffs

Speaking of John Textor, lol at Palace getting stuck in the playoffs for the conference league, would be really funny to see them crumble out of it

I was flipping through hulu and saw that game was on (it had just finished unfortunately) and tuned in. All I could do was shake my head. Idk what it is with these mid-table Prem sides where they mix it up with some of the best teams in the world throughout a season and in allot of cases beat them, then crumble as soon as a foreign opponent steps foot on or they step off TERF Island.
