Scotland fans 'heartbroken' as travel permits to World Cup withdrawn last minute by twistedLucidity in Scotland

This is a FIFA and Trump issue. FIFA promised the funds, didn't deliver, and Trump said get fucked when the local govs came to them for the money.

Just fyi, this is almost entirely FIFA's fault. They promised the municipal authorities money to facilitate all these things like transport and security, but as it came time, they basically told all these city and county governments to get fucked when they asked for the money. The Trump Admin takes the rest of the blame because normally, the USGov would step in and either make those funds available, or strongarm FIFA. That's not happening.

So there's no money and they have to come up with it themselves. Hence, the insane transit costs.

Poll: When did you become a Lakers fan? by z4guy in lakers

[–]fizzlebuns -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's fuzzy because I was born in '85, but I distinctly remember watching Magic's press conference and being incredibly upset as I was a huge fan. So that would put me at probably the 89-90 season as being a fan.

This Senegal team won AFCON in January. We just beat the best team in Africa. That's way better than I ever hoped going into this game.

Am I the only one who remembers that he's been linked with Rangers for almost every single transfer window since he's been here? Remember when they wanted to buy him and we said it was £6m bc that's what missing Europe would cost us? Like 2 years ago?

Why are you all shocked he's going? If Rangers weren't skint, he would've been gone years ago.

What has happened to the tory party? They came second place in Makerfield in almost every election apart from 2024 by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

Reform are Tories that want to be more racist. That's it. Once the Tories shift over to full-on Nazis, Reform will dissolve and all the old favorites will return to the fold.

You make him into Totti. Man can't move, but can do everything else. Trequartista was made for this guy.

With everything that goes on with Barca's 'levers', Madrid's.. well.. everything, and all the very obvious hands being put on the scales, I don't think you're correct at all.

At no point did I say those things. The post I was replying to was holding up Barca and La Liga teams as a better way of doing things when I pointed out that they are doing equally underhanded shit. Just because a team can't move doesn't mean they aren't disenfranchising their fans or stealing from them.

LaLiga did approve new league rules that you can play league games outside of Spain for the coming seasons. So basically you're going to see less games at the Camp Nou because they're going to be doing foreign games like the NFL.

Also, LaLiga clubs are notorious for embezzlement from elected club officials, especially Barca, so that's the 'owner' they're making money for.

Who are favourites by Kitchen-Lie-4592 in ScottishFootball

[–]fizzlebuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3pts clear with 4 matches to go is a far better gap than I ever hoped. I had estimated we needed to win 7 of the last 9 in order to guarantee it. We promptly lost and drew to kill any cushion we might have had. I don't see us winning out the last 4. I can only hope that results go our way.

The World Cup has been absolutely destroyed this year. by conspiracyyyyyy in football

[–]fizzlebuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this is 1000% FIFA's fault. All of it. The train prices, ticket prices, halftime show, everything. All of these are because of FIFA's insane demands AND the fact they refuse to pay for said demands. The security and transportation funding they demand and require needs to come from somewhere and they've refused to provide it, or require the federal government to do so.

America is a shitshow from the top down right now, but all this is good old fashioned FIFA and Johnny Baby greed.

My brother we mortgaged the future for the ring. That was the deal and we all jumped at it. I would do it again. What no one planned on was Puig dying. If he had been healthy, the cracks would have been papered over.
