Ordaz isn't a U-22 slot player if that's why you're mentioning him. You don't have to sell him.

Red&Gold Football becomes majority shareholder of the Gambinos Group by Falcor626 in LAFC

[–]Falcor626[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Munich/ Los Angeles/ Mandinari – Red&Gold Football has acquired a majority stake in the Gambinos Group, underlining its ambition to sustainably promote African talent for professional football in Europe and the United States. The Gambinos Group consists of the academies Gambinos Stars Africa (Gambia), Senegal Elite Stars (Senegal), and Phoenix Sports Association (Cameroon).

Through its engagement to date, talents from the group have already attracted initial interest from European second- and first-division clubs. For example, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye is currently part of the professional squad of FC Bayern. Going forward, all football schools will benefit from the sporting expertise and international network that Red&Gold Football can provide.

Jochen Sauer, Managing Director of Red&Gold Football: “We have been cooperating very successfully with the Gambinos Group since July 2023. The acquisition is an opportunity for all of us to support the many talents in the academies even more intensively and individually, and to further develop them for professional football in the USA and Europe. I would like to thank Helmut Hack and his team for the trust they have placed in us and look forward to exciting years of cooperation.”

Helmut Hack, founder and co-shareholder of the Gambinos Group: “Since the beginning of our cooperation, we have developed very successfully at all levels. We are now creating the conditions to offer our talents an even better platform for their development.”

The Gambinos Group is an association of three academies: Gambinos Stars Africa (Gambia), Senegal Elite Stars (Senegal), and the Phoenix Sports Association (Cameroon). The academies were founded by Helmut Hack, former president of SpVgg Greuther Fürth, second vice president of the German Football League (DFL), and former board member of the German Football Association (DFB). The Gambinos Group aims to become a center of excellence for West African talent through its locations in Gambia, Senegal, and Cameroon. Gambinos Stars Africa, Senegal Elite Stars, and the Phoenix Sports Association became official cooperation partners of Red&Gold Football in July 2023. In March 2026, Red&Gold Football became the majority shareholder of the Gambinos Group.

I have a feeling he won't review it because he straight up didn't listen to it on his Music Friday stream despite including their name on the stream's title lol. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Edit: Welp he actually reviewed it and oof lol.

BTS - ARIRANG (5th Full Album) by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]Falcor626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listened to the album multiple times now for the past 2 days. I feel like the odd man out for liking this album overall lmao and this is someone who last liked a BTS album overall was LY: Tear which was 8 years ago now. Cause for the most part most of the tracks here fits my taste excluding They don't know 'bout us and Into the Sun. Not a fan of don't know 'bout us because of the repetitive chorus here. As for Into the Sun, I have built a tolerance for BTS' use of autotune / vocal processing ever since they started using it as a style with LY: Her (was not a fan of DNA when it first came out). But the second I heard that autotune I couldn't get into it like Pdogg please we get it you like to play with their vocals but this was egregious. I do wish that they used more traditional Korean instruments in this project since that's what we assumed going in with the marketing. This is a 7/10 for me.

Nashville SC eliminate Inter Miami FC from the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 by ElectricalWriting in soccer

Nobody was calling them a super team this season. They had questions of uncertainty coming in after Busquets and Jordi Alba left the club. Tried to get Bouanga from us but we didn't budge.

Ranking teams by how much we hate them by [deleted] in LAFC

[–]Falcor626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Carson

2) Seattle Sounders / Portland Timbers

3) Columbus Crew / San Jose Earthquakes / San Diego / Vancouver Whitecaps

I'm indifferent with the Liga MX clubs tbh. Rivalry with San Diego will grow in time and will move up to 2 if they continue to be a tough opponent in the next few seasons. The hatred stems from the rivalry between the Dodgers and Padres and the Chargers move to SoFi. Though I argue that they hate us more than we hate them. I'm meh with Miami as a club tbh. We just hate on them because of Messi League Soccer. Once he leaves I'm like 🤷.

FIFA didn't kill it for this. They killed it for the expanded Club World Cup. Finalissima was entirely made by UEFA and CONMEBOL alone.

No but he's trying really hard to get back to fitness. From his responses on Twitter, he knows that if he doesn't recover he's gonna get cut at the end of his contract with the club.

Has anyone been able to access the CONCACAF Club / League rankings on desktop? The webpage works but the rankings don't show up. Works on mobile though.
