6·1 year agoNormally I’m quite harsh on these things but there are extenuating circumstances here. UEFA were making changed to FFP during the middle of covid with no knowledge of exactly what the next few years would hold. Expecting clubs to keep up with unexpected changes when they might have front weighted their allowed FFP losses etc. is a challenge.
UEFA aren’t perfect with FFP rule breaches but its not like they haven’t attempted to ban many large clubs from Europe before.
4·1 year agoOne of the biggest issues with the sprints is that many of the potential good formats are automatically off the table. We won’t get something fun like reverse grids anytime soon.
At the moment it’s all fairly new and constantly changing but at the end of the day it’s nothing unique. It’s just a shorter race.
Not only Leonardo Bonucci. Juventus also told Weston McKennie that he’s NOT part of the plans.
McKennie will not work together with the first team and won’t travel for the USA pre season tour.

Teams will stop their major upgrades for this season soon though. It gets to a point where its just fine tuning and minor upgraded parts that change where you are relative to other teams. If they really are in the mix then they shouldn’t fall away as the Aston seems to have.
Perhaps its partly a FFP thing for Man Utd. In addition to the owner issues, their inability to sell anyone at a decent price must affect their transfer budget too.
I think its just mainly the price. There’s not many clubs who pay £80m+ and even less who have an opening in central midfield.
Arsenal tried in January but the price was too high, Real were focussed on Bellingham, PSG went with the Sporting guy and Man City dont need him, so its pretty much only Chelsea and Man Utd left who’d pay silly money (other than Saudi clubs).
Don’t care about the name. Just want the 2004 yellow and blue back.
Vid bot guy back again…
It might be best to switch it off for a week or so. It’s difficult to troubleshoot any bot issues when it seems like lemmy.world and the API are having their own issues every day. I’ll try to leave it running in a test community for longer and if it runs fine and then bring it back here.
@skipseagull@lemmy.world if its easier for you to make @Football_Vid_Bot@lemmy.world a mod then I should (hopefully) be able to make it sticky/unsticky itself automatically every day for each new highlights post.
Why do they only play for two and a half months a year?
He played very well for the Israeli national team the 2/3 times I’ve saw him.
Didn’t watch much of him at Fulham though. Seems that he was decent there last season too.
Started watching The Diplomat on Netflix. I’m 4 episodes in and it’s ok but why is everyone so useless other than the Americans?
It’s quite off-putting.
1·1 year agoWhy would Norris go from being team leader to Marko’s punching bag?
To win races and compete at the front of the grid. Being a team leader of an average and inconsistent McLaren team is unlikely to win him anything beyond a few odd podium trophies per season.
You can hide the numbers in the liftoff app (presumably other apps too). Hiding it for all users by default is obviously completely different though.
It might take a few days to get the goal bot working again btw.
Tried last night but it wasn’t posting the links as comments. Unsure if lemmy.world going down had any effect on another issues that came up too.
Not next year, no.
If he gets a new contract and has a good 2024 (comfortably beats the competition etc.) then he might have a shot for 2025.
I’m my defence there were a lot of people questioning what was happening and no answers.
If you had login issues that’s fine. Shit happens.
Perhaps the more likely strategy that will be targeted is a one-stop, because the expected difference in terms of race time is only a few seconds in total, so teams tend to lean towards fewer stops and prioritising track position.
Perez was sitting stationary for around 8mins (you could argue 10min+ given he didn’t box after the red flag). Sargeant for around 7 minutes. I don’t think either had any tyre temp and yet Sargeat got out of q1.
Perez was suggesting yesterday that it’s the conditions which he doesn’t like. 4 of the last 5 quali’s have been wet I think.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they delay the kit reveal a week or so if they are close to finding a sponsor.
So on the same day that Tuchel says we can’t discuss Kane, the Bayern president decides to openly talk about…Kane.
Don’t think this will help Bayern much tbh.
