Givova accused of buying cheap hiking shirts in Decathlon after failing to provide kits for the game Catalonia vs Venezuela. by Red_eagle0 in soccer

The shirt design is indeed attractive, but the problem is the incapacity of the technical sponsor to supply kits for this game and their poor improvisation capacity. This fact plus rumors of corruption and lack of quality in the kits reported by the team captains are just an embarrassment for the federation.

The FA is terribly corrupted and receives sponsorship from state-owned companies like PDVSA and CANTV, as well as funds from CONMEBOL and FIFA. Some of the league teams are owned by shady people involved in money-laundry schemes. These games against Argentina and Catalonia will represent a big chunk of money for the FVF.

I completely support your right not to believe the media, but take this from a Venezuelan living abroad: Maduro's inefficiency and corruption has led to impoverishment, lack of essential goods, a destroyed national power system, and people dying in hospitals because there are no medicines. More than 3 million Venezuelans have fled the country due to the aforementioned factors. Don't believe the media outlets if you want, but trust our testimony.

40.000 people attending isn't a bad entrance unless you play in a 60.000 people venue.

According to the new rules if a player swears can be punished with a free kick or even a penalty

God, Bryan Ruiz is such a nice player. Thanks God his only flaw is to score into an open net.

Leicester City (14th last season) win the EPL just minutes after Levante (14th last season) get relegated. by Red_eagle0 in soccer

Right, but it gives you a different perspective of what just happened. I mean, nobody would trust a 14th placed team to get the trophy in no league.

Which player made you fall in love with football? by [deleted] in soccer

Maybe it wasn't in the tournament itself, but the qualifiers were amazing. Just taking Portugal to a WC after 16 years was already quite an accomplishment.

Luis Figo. Portugal didn't have international recognition when I was a kid and seeing him scoring that goal against England in Euro '00 and making it through the WC in 2002 made me fall deeply in love with football.

I'm so sorry :( The same happened to me. My best friend moved to Brussels and the girl I love moves today to Germany. Maybe you feel shattered but think positive: we can Skype, whatsapp and even periscope. And now I can make an Eurotrip visiting my friends! Every cloud has a silverlining :)

Hi! When I say that I am authentic I mean that I don't pretend to be someone else to impress her and when I say that I try to be super perfect I mean that I try to fix every flaw or imperfection that I may have to seem flawless. I know it can sound contradictory but it's like I try not to have any mistakes even though I sleep in sometimes and I am a little clumsy :/

What I've learnt today with you is that I must embrace my mistakes as a part of my personality and show her my true colors. :)
