The ins and outs of the international football association; the most recent news and coverage in the FIFA universe.
Young Guns, echo players of Old
All the kings horses and all the kings men…that’s what it took for the United States Men’s National Team to qualify for the World Cup again. And let’s be clear it was never assured despite what many news outlets and pundits now report or try to portray. Throughout the Qualifying campaign and into the Hex many big name sportscasters doubted the abilities of the current crop of US nationals to qualify for Qatar. And rightfully so. I know I was among that group of non believers.

Should We Boycott Qatar 2022?
I remember being in the streets of Doha the day in 2010 when it was announced that Qatar would be hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2022. It seems so long ago now. I was out and about as it was announced over the radio that they had won their bid. It was getting dark. Within minutes of the announcement, the streets were flooded with cars honking and celebrating. Qatari flags sprung up everywhere! People were ecstatic that their nation was going to be hosting one of the biggest sporting events in the world. So much happiness, so much celebration, so much pride.

Big news out of CONCACAF this week as the federation continues to try and reshape its image and improve. Today CONCACAF announced the unvieling of a brand new format to its much maligned Champions League. This might not come as much of a shock to some who have long thought of the current format as inferior and lacking scope or prominence on the domestic theater.

Reece James Gets Robbed
It was meant to be another great night in the Champions League for Reece James and his Chelsea colleagues. While a dire first half had the fans at Stamford Bridge scratching their heads, Romelu Lukaku made up for it in the second forty-five with a well headed goal in the 69th minute. It was to be the only goal in a game that never really got going, however Thomas Tuchel and his charges would welcome a winning start as they attempted to defend their European crown. Offensively, it was a rather worrying display, while at the back it was another solid performance by the London side.

Fast forward to December 2020, when the club qualified for Copa Do Brasil and won the state FGF Cup, their first ever trophy, it was that fan lifting the trophy, as the President of the club.
