Barca has opt to use a tax loophole NFT venture to help balance the books, with the first selling for $550,000. Barca aims to sell at least 9 more.
At some point, FIFA and UEFA are going to have to step in and say enough is enough. Otherwise Barca are going to pull out every scam in the book to keep paying for shit they can't afford and other clubs are going to follow suit. Right until you get stories in the papers of fans who lost everything trying to make sure their club could buy a 34 year old forward to help their team do a little better in the Europa League
 
Remember lads, it's the Euro finals on Sunday.

I actually like how the British media has spent the past few months basically treating it as though it was the ACTUAL Euros, and not the Women's Euros. It just feels like an experiment to see if we'll start giving a shit about women's football so that when BBC inevitably bids for the rights to matches, they might be able to get away with advertising "Arsenal vs Villa" in the hope of catching out an actual football supporter.
Leeds moved our friendly because a bunch of cunts on Twitter complained that the club were disrespecting women sports by having the friendly around the same time

And while they're doing that the same media is nagging them for daring to have a majority white squad.
 
/sp/ is never wrong

ETA
PSG are having a fire sale and will let 11 players go this summer, some big names in there as well with Georginio Wijnaldum, Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler og Mauro Icardi among them.
I’ll take 1 Kalimuendo and a top youth prospect at Leeds please.
 
Forest will have a nearly entirely new squad come the start of the Premier League next week, announcing their 12th signing of the window. Why do I have a feeling I've seen this happen before and it backfiring tenfold? Oh yes, it was Watford last season.

Nothing will top QPR signing a metric shitload of players and somehow managing to assemble the worst fucking team imaginable.

Ah, good times. Makes me want to go back and rewatch The Four Year Plan. The original All or Nothing. It's too bad they didn't follow the story until relegation, that would have really cemented it as a banger of a documentary.
 
Haaland missed the goal of his career right there. An omen of things to come for his career and for Shitty?
I think even if he did score it would just be written off on account of it being scored in a glorified pre-season game, add to the fact that most people don't want to give City players much credit in general but it hasn't stopped the media from acting like Nunez "upstaged" Haaland as if it wasn't entirely Adrian's doing for keeping out those 8 shots on target.

Funny how you never see any articles about the African teams being "too black", wonder why that is?

>Be majority white England team
>Reach first major final in a decade

What did they mean by this?

Don't forget Fulham before that
 
Congrats to the England women for winning the Euros and making sure the Men's team will collapse and not make it out of the group stages at the world cup. I look forward to the shit show that the British tabloids will create prior to, during, and after the world cup in Qatar
 
Bring on the Cope, Kiwis!

Next up in women's football is the 2023 Women's World Cup, being held in Australia and New Zealand. And because it's women's football, every venue has a Land Acknowledgement

Those names aren't there for show on Wikipedia, officially all the venues will be that.
