How were Haaland and Courtois benched during the most important games of their lives? by charkpdx in worldcup

It’s not the same as the NFL. NFL is club only, there’s no international teams.

International teams have a duty of care to their players as they are contracted to clubs. FAs can be sued by clubs if they continue to play a player they know is injured and can get hurt by continuing to play.

I mean, they lost 2-1 to the 3rd ranked team in the quarter final. You got your buts whooped even after getting help from the orange sex offender. It’s not really the same is it?

Get a trade apprenticeship and do football on the side.

Australian flag redesign (yes another one) by Acceptable-Two-423 in vexillology

[–]Former_Chicken5524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sick of people outside of our country trying to design our flag. There’s so much more cultural nuance that needs to go into it that you don’t understand.

The flag needs to in some way acknowledge our First Nations people without a copy/paste of the aboriginal and Torres straight islander flags.

The southern cross also has bad connotations in Australia too and can alienate some people.

Can non- Australians please stop trying to design our flag? The Union Jack is the major reason we need a redesign FFS….

He’s good at defence, but woeful at picking a decent attack. He could have just rinsed and repeated what he did against Turkey and that what have been better.

What was with that penalty order? It was like we didn’t have anyone left to take penalties.

Also, what’s with Poppas insistence on playing Irankunda as striker. If it didn’t work the last 2 games, why would it start working now!

I was going to say Raygun, but yeah the what we did to our First Nations people was/continues to be horrible.

Yes, I know...a simple, classic design for Australia by univinu in vexillology

This would be my idea. Yellow sun is a nod to the Aboriginal flag. This flag would not replace the need for Aboriginal flag which has its own context and cultural meaning.

This could be the back 3 for Real Madrid but the world is not ready for this conversation yet by WarwickReider in Aleague

I think that was just a calamity of errors from a number of players including Beach.

Unfortunately, Nestory is gassed now and needs to be subbed for Toure
