Here's the weird thing, it's not looking like it might not have been Diallo. She cooperated with police and was released as per the article.

The police are now looking a new direction, namely former French player Eric Abidal, more specifically HIS WIFE, Hayet. The new theory is that Hayet Abidal may have set up the attack in revenge for a rumored affair between her husband and Hamraoui.

Evidence: Hamraoui used to play at Barcelona and Abidal was the director of the men's team. A report say that one of the attackers yelled, “So, you like to sleep with married men?” during the assault. Other weird things, Hamraoui's cell phone is registered to .... Abidal. When asked about this, she said it was "in her ex’s name." Hamraoui also called Eric Abidal after the attack to see if he thought his wife may have done this (he said no).

And today news is breaking that Hayat has filed for divorce. Hmmmmmm.

 

And because this needs more pictures

Diallo is pictures in the tweet.

No question. But imagine having to play for Poland in the Euros. Messi would have zero goals and been out in round 1. With the exception of Brazil, Copa America is a joke draw for Argentina. 

Uh - not really. Maybe it was a down Copa year but Uruguay (x2) Chile (x2) and Colombia have all won the Copa since Argentina's last. It isn't like the gold cup. Argentina is sort of in transition right now, too. 

Poland would be a massive underdog in a comp like Copa. They're behind 6 CONMEBOL teams in FIFA right now (whether you give FIFA rankings much weight or not). 

Not that that's Lewa's fault. I do agree he was the best player last year. Voting was probably close. Ultimately Lewa needed to probably get to the CL final to outweigh the Copa.

That's the point. Imagine if Lewa was German. Or Argentinian. He'd have won several Ballons. I think they should weigh the league much more than a 3 weeks cup tournament. 

Yeah - it is unfair but that's just the way it is. It's really 3 fold between league, NT and Euro cup. Lewa had the better league season, Messi had the better NT season, they both disappointed in the CL. 

I mean - Jorginho finished fucking 3rd. Jorg isn't even a top 50 player. But tells you all you need to know about how much a WC or Euro or Copa weighs into the voting - let alone on top of the CL. It's how Modric won it in 2018. 

And - tbf - Lewa 100p wins it last year if they hand it out.

All of this. Jorginho is on the list and that’s all you need to know about how much the Ballon D Or really says about who the best is.

UEFA & CONMEBOL decide to hold a “FUCK FIFA Tournament”

Italy and Argentina to play soccer's 'Finalissima' in London

 

NYON, Switzerland (AP) — European champion Italy and Copa America winner Argentina will play each other in London on June 1, UEFA and CONMEBOL said Wednesday.

No venue was announced for the “Finalissima” — the first of three inter-continental championships that the two soccer bodies have agreed to stage.

Italy won the European Championship in July. The match was played at Wembley Stadium in London, where there was some of the worst disorder and organizational failures in international soccer in recent years. Thousands of ticketless England fans broke into the stadium to watch their national team play its first major final in 55 years...

Venezia’s kits today were sick. I need to get on the waitlist and get one.

Which kit would you get?

I probably rank them:
1) Red
2) Blue
3) Away (White)
4) Home (Black-ish)

Almost every item on their website is sold out.

 I wonder if that is due to:

A) Overwhelming popularity?

B) Supply-chain issues?

C) Planned scarcity to raise social media mentions.

 

 

I've been watching their site like a hawk to get a nephew of mine one of their home jerseys, they came in stock today. Yesterday they were sold out of Red, White and Black with only the Blue in stock. Now White and Black are back in. Red still sold out. They seem to stock up monthly. I think it is built in scarcity.

"See, guys, we really need more World Cups to, um, prevent deaths.  Yeah, prevent death.  Not line FIFA's bank accounts.  No no no. To prevent death."

Only FIFA could be so brazen to say shit like that.
