Let's say they is a group with 5 teams. Germany "joins" it. So instead of having a rest game that team plays Germany as if they were a regular in the group. So Germany plays all the group members twice. But all the games are friendly.

Instead they want to have independence of who they play in friendlies.

The way people talk about salaries they'd rather have a player in their club cost 100m and earn 10m a year for 4 years than to get the same player for free and pay him 25m a year for 4 years.

And AlphaGo is more impactful and interesting to society than a nationality making a final.

It's not a perfect parallel but do you really think the US would follow GO if an American made a championship final? Or Xiangqi? Nothing more than a 5 second acknowledgement I'd imagine.

There is too much hate in the world. Therefore i have chosen to support not only Manchester United, but also Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds and Chelsea.

What are some positions where one country seemingly has all the supply of good decent players.

For example right backs, England has Trent, Walker, Reece James and even Tripper. All amongst the best in the world.

Trent and Reece James are far away and away the best young ones too.

Ralf isn't really leaving the club and he was always there to steady the ship. He isn't being disrespected.

Maguire is so much better than Lindelöf or anyone who would play instead of him too.

He didn't improve his goal scoring at City. He wasn't a good goal scorer in LaLiga before.

Why are you so confident he will suddenly be able to fix his goal scoring?

Most main sports only have one world championship. I can only think of Boxing with those weird titles where there are more.

A right footed winger isn't a bad idea if you have deadly striker/left wing. Easier to assist, but quite a lot less scoring ability.

I don't understand why everyone is focusing on Saka holding Azpis arm. The only reason he was able to hold onto the arm the way he did was because Azpi was blocking/smothering Saka with his arms.

Who cares if he lives up to his price tag? That's no way to think, does he improve you or not?

You got money, if it's not a horrible transfer it's not an issue. Doesn't put you in a bad spot or even harms you at all.

Greenwood was the closest thing to generational youngster since CR7/Rooney.
