I know this was posted in the gaming side but I want to post it here too.

FIFA Reportedly Wants To Charge EA $1 Billion Every Four Years For Name

FIFA Reportedly Wants To Charge EA $1 Billion Every Four Years For Name - IGN

We now have a clue to why EA Sports is considering changing the name of FIFA, its giant football franchise.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

FIFA saw EA stuff the game full of micro-transactions and harvest untold profits off children and gambling addicts and thought they want a piece of that pie.

[ActuFoot]Emmanuel Macron will play 90mins for a charity football game as a defensive midfilder alongside Rudi Garcia and Giresse. Wenger and Desailly as CB, S.Anderson as a striker.



Will he two foot someone or get it two footed himself?

We need a world cup with world leaders as players :pie_thinking:

Spain playing Torres whilst injured and now he’s out for months for City, and we’ll foot the bill. Fucking hate scummy international football.

Sterling is dog shit and has put locally said he wants out.

Hope we don’t play Sterling and go for a front 3 from Grealish, Foden, Jesus, Bernardo and Mahrez.

A bunch of those goals have been the result of mistakes from Maguire. He's clearly not fit. Solskjaer is going to run him into the ground by over playing him.

Nice to see Rashford score on his return though.

The weird, pointless, away record comes to an end.

Marcus Rashford: Manchester United forward 'needs to prioritise football' says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Marcus Rashford needs to "prioritise his football" if he is to meet the twin challenges of playing for club and country, says Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It’s a really bullshit thing for him to say. The stuff Rashford has done away from the pitch has been incredible and made a real difference to the lives of a lot of people. Also it’s not like it’s detracted from his dedication to football. The reports coming out about his recovery were about how incredibly hard he’s been working to get ready and be in the best possible shape.

I was surprised by his comment, I think he lost some points with some people too.

[Ajax Life] Ajax has tracked down 25 people who tried to resell their ticket for Ajax - Dortmund for large profits. Ajax will block their season ticket, give them a €450 fine and give them an 18 month stadium ban. They will also report them to the KNVB to make sure they get a nationwide stadium ban

Solksjaer trying hard to find excuses for his ineptitude. I think Rashford has not been coached correctly though because he hasn’t developed his football intelligence.

[Daniele Mari] Di Canio: "I heard Bergomi comparing Osimhen and Lukaku. But Osimhen has a different spirit, he's not dull like him. When the difficulty increased he scored 0 goals in 5 games with Chelsea. And it's not Chelsea's fault, they are first even without his goals."



I did not know he get to be on TV

Bruce leaves Newcastle after takeover

Manager Steve Bruce leaves Newcastle United by mutual consent just 13 days after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover of the Premier League side was completed.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

That happened quicker than expected.

This Newcastle take over has really made me lose a bit of love for the game. The PIF are shady AF, especially when you consider Mohammed bin Salman is the chairman. It also now means we'll have another team who are rich as fuck and will buy their success. Newcastle fans, hope you're happy that your team has sold it's soul.

And before anyone comments, I understand that Birmingham are owned by Birmingham Sports Holdings, who are a shady, faceless Hong Kong group run by Paul Suen......and I fucking hate it.

Call me old fashioned, but Birmingham, Newcastle, Man City and any team that is owned by rich, foreign investors shouldn't call themselves football clubs. We're nothing but playthings for the rich. Football clubs in England used to be created by the working class and for the working class. Those days are long gone.

Hopefully, we'll soon go to a German model where the fans own part of the team and then we can be called Football clubs again.

lol mate we (Birmingham) haven’t got a pot to piss in, the stands falling down and the 30 million for Jude vanished.

Huddersfield going to dick us in a bit and leave us closer to relegation spots.

Oh and as an aside, kick it out have politely asked the toon not to wear tea towels in their heads as its disrespectful. Like I called out a week or so ago above.

Simeone asked if Atlético were unlucky with the referee: "No, no, I can get angry on the pitch, but just as the referee makes mistakes, we do the same. If the VAR says that it wasn't a penalty, then it wasn't. Griezmann's red was correct. I am not happy since we lost, but the team is strong.

Ernesto Valverde: "If a coach did what Cruyff himself did now, some fans would crucify him for not being faithful to Johan. When things went bad, Cruyff would order CB Alexanko to go forward and us to send long balls to him. Today people are faithful to Cruyff style more than the man himself!"

www.elmundo.es

Ernesto Valverde: "Si un entrenador del Barcelona hace hoy las cosas que hacía Cruyff, lo cuelgan en el nombre de Johan"

"Venga, vamos a contar batallitas". Desde que salió del Barça hace 21 meses, Ernesto Valverde ha sido un fotógrafo. Y punto. Una exposición de su obra sigue abierta...

[Allan Saint-Maximin] on Steve Bruce: "You are, without a doubt, one of the most gentle people that I have ever met in the world of football. You have been a man of your word, a caring man and a fair man who never hesitated to protect us. I will never forget how you treated me."

[Rob Harris] Gianni Infantino in private meeting with UEFA: "We need more participation and maybe there is a way of doing that by having two World Cups, but not with the same teams participating ... this is something that the technical people will study."

No, he involves himself in the most petty of Twitter spats and behaves like a Restera mod :messenger_tears_of_joy: Not to mention he himself loves to pocket the ‘Arab money’ that he likes to report on so much when he works for Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Good to know, I’m glad that the paupers on the red side of Manchester can manage to beat a financial behemoth like Atlanta :messenger_tears_of_joy:

[Dazn Italia] Chiellini: “Ronaldo left on 28 August, it would have been better for us if he had left earlier. We paid something for it, a little bit of a shock, we paid something for it in terms of points. If he had left earlier we would have had time to prepare better.”
