Pilchard Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Good time to start this. Roberto Martinez made manager of Belgium. Odd choice for both parties there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 From what I saw on Twitter they got booed off... was only 2-0 but Spain played them off the park and could have scored 4 or 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Jordan Lukaku is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen. So bad even we wouldn't sign him as a left back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I've been very critical of him in the past but he was brilliant last night, playing wide left for most but his passing and work rate were superb. Helps aswell he dosen't have an OAP upfront to hit passes too, Tite is onto something putting a mobile quick player like Gabriel Jesus up there. Very impressed by Brazil last night...and it takes a lot for me to say that! Very balanced and compact. On Messi whatever you think of his shady off the field dealings there is no player in world football who is as good to watch as him when he's at it. And certainly last night he played with a point to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 BBC article Quote El Salvador's national football team say they have refused a bribe to fix Tuesday's World Cup 2018 qualifying game against Canada. At a news conference, team members played an audio recording of the person allegedly offering various incentives. Canada must beat El Salvador in Vancouver and hope Mexico defeat Honduras in the final round of Group A games to stand a chance of progressing. El Salvador cannot progress to the final round of qualifying. "It's the most dramatic thing in football I've seen for some time now," investigative journalist Declan Hill told the BBC World Service. "The entire team came in with their coaches and said they had been approached on Saturday. They played an 11-minute conversation with the attempted match-fixer. "He was offering each player a variety of money per minute depending on the result they could get. The most they would have got for allegedly fixing the match would have been about $3,000 per player." Hill said the offer was allegedly made by an El Salvadorian who knew some of the players, but who wanted to aid the Honduras national team. The BBC has approached the Honduras football association for comment. Canada, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico are members of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf). Three Concacaf nations will qualify for the 2018 World Cup automatically, with a fourth entering a play-off against a team from the Asian Football Confederation.

VillaChris Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 That's an interesting one for me,....I originally assumed someone from Canada had approached them to lose given Canada need to win big and hope Honduras lose to progress. It's not illegal in Spain is it...when teams are fighting relegation they can approach mid table teams with little to play for who are playing their rivals and offer "incentives."
