    Pakistan declares war on Afghanistan

    Pakistan has just declared war on Afghanistan: Pakistan targeted Taliban HQ and allegedly took out supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada plus other high level commanders. Not sure what Pakistan is hoping to achieve here as it is impossible for Taliban to not be involved in running...

    Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 - Confirmed shot down by Iranian military

    It appears as if the Iranian military has shot down Ukraine Flight PS752 minutes after departure from Tehran International Airport: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51055219 176 people are dead. It seems incredible that another tragedy can happen like this in today's day and age...

    Flat Earth FC

    I honestly thought this was a pisstake when it popped up on my FB news feed but a 4th division Spanish team has actually changed its name to Flat Earth FC: https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2019/06/29/5d17aa04268e3ecb4f8b458d.html I really hope they qualify for the CL one...

    VAR Thread

    Thought VAR deserves a discussion thread of its own about the impact it is going to have on football. This just happened in Serie A: https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/video/1444129347929/bizarre-scenes-var-disallows-spal-goal-awards-fiorentin-penalty?playlist=latest-videos-twg I didn't realise...

    Conspiracy Theory British Airways Flight 149 - Last Flight to Kuwait

    Came across this video on youtube on the weekend: Wasn't aware of this happening until now. This seems to be a genuine conspiracy theory - I haven't been able to find a sufficient explanation as to why this flight wasn't told to divert with Iraqi troops rolling into Kuwait. All other...

    Why is French football so successful?

    3 World Cup finals in the last 20 years. 50 players of French origin playing at this World Cup: https://runrepeat.com/most-football-talent-france Why do the French keep churning out quality footballers at a frightening rate? Is it because of their national academies? Or is it Ligue 1 which is...

    When was the last time a team won the league for the first time?

    With Leicester's dream run they may actually win the league title this season. They have never won the league in their history - can anybody remember the last time the league had a new winner?

    Combined XI Thread

    Real Madrid FC - Where has it all gone wrong?

    What is wrong with Real Madrid? Out of the Champions League and clearly second best in La Liga. 1 League title in 7 seasons now despite signing the very best footballers money can buy. Should Ancelotti go? Or are the players responsible for the failure of the team with some like Ronaldo...

    Interesting article: http://www.itv.com/news/2015-04-21/premier-league-wages-southampton-and-chelsea-getting-most-out-of-players-for-amount-spent-on-wages/ Seems that what you spend on wages is generally where you end up on the ladder. Excpetions are United who now have a whopping 215m...

    100 Goals in a PL season

    Both City and Liverpool are a good chance of scoring 100 goals in the premier league this season which would be amazing. AFAIK only Chelsea has done it before in 2009/2010 with 103 goals. Liverpool has 82 with 8 games left and City has 76 with 10 games left. Looking at our fixtures we have...

    Worst transfers this season

    Approaching the half way point of this season who does everyone think the worst transfers so far have been? For me it is 1. Aspas - Played while Suarez was suspended and tried far too hard with no result. Hasn't been seen since Suarez returned and probably won't be again. 2...

    FIFPRO challenging transfer fee system

    Read here: http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1176586/FIFPro-challenges-transfer-system Quite ridiculous IMO. Football clubs aren't gonna invest in developing players if they are free to leave when they feel like it. All this would achieve is pushing up wages to obscenely high levels...

    Players available on a free transfer

    Some decent footballers out of contract end of this season. Most notably, Keisuke Honda is out of contract at the end of the Russian season!!! Ryan Babel at 26 is out of contract at Ajax already. Chris Brunt at West Brim is out of contract at 28 years old, you would expect West Brom to renew...

    Sturridge

    Close to best buy of the season IMO. Looks top class, cannot understand why Chelsea didn't give him what he,wanted and sold him. Question is can he become World Class? I think he can.

    Player of the year

    Will be interesting to see who wins it this season, with there being only 3 real candidates in Bale, Suarez & Van Persie. Van Persie was unstoppable up until a month ago and may have done enough to win it already. Suarez has been consistent all season but hasn't hit the heights that Bale...

    So, Hazard

    Disgraceful act by Hazard this morning. Should he get the normal 3 match ban for violent conduct or should he get more because he kicked a ball boy?
