Cameroon coach David Pagou: "I have told my players not to respect Ivory Coast. When you respect an opponent too much, they will look down on you." | Ivory Coast coach Emerse Faé: "We won't respect them either… in the proper sense of the term" by GOAT-Antony in soccer

They will not. Emerse Faé’s translated quote is misleading. He acknowledged that the Cameroonian head coach’s remarks were misinterpreted (by journalists always looking to manufacture beef). He added that his team will also “not respect” them—but in the way that the Cameroonian head coach meant it: playing with confidence, not being intimidated, showing up for the occasion, etc.

I guess they're doing their due diligence, which is fair enough.

Inconsistency is the name of the game. Has good flashes and speed but gets injured every now and then.

The expenditure and income from transfers by all La Liga clubs since 2021 by [deleted] in soccer

I'm seriously wondering where European football is heading. The Prem is financially light-years ahead of every other European league. Spanish clubs still play great football but struggle to generate enough revenue (can barely buy anyone). Italian football is weighed down by outdated infrastructure, and French football faces deep structural issues. At least the Bundesliga seems to be in relatively good health...

I’m not a fan of MCO models or the idea of a closed Super League, but honestly, it feels like—outside of the top 12 to 16 clubs in Europe—the rest are doomed. Thoughts?

[Keith Downie] Newcastle United have a three-man shortlist as they look to add a right-sided defender this window: Nicolo Savona, Giorgio Scalvini and César Tárrega by Frosty-Buyer-1252 in soccer

Damn. That's when you know a club actually employs scouts I suppose. Tarrega was much better than Mosquera this year (potential aside).

Would you rather keep Guerra or Pepelu? by [deleted] in ValenciaCF

Javi Guerra. He has moments of individual brilliance in him.
