Eh, why? I was under the impression that this is because PSG owners agreed to a very stupid contract and Mbappé is holding them to it.

Wish you all the best with the job hunt!

Let's hope the fucker never plays again

Scriptwriters are at it again 😍

Pretty damn cool tbh

Reminder that the Spanish football federation are a bunch of cunts (especially Rubiales) who would rather save face than support their players, and that Jorge Vilda is a useless, disgusting fuckwit who only got his job because of nepotism.

Just bin the fucker already

Title is a little bit confusing tbh.

Club legend? Yeahhh right

Genuine question, not really related to this case: is the OK signal usually associated with racism in the US? My friends and I just use it to sign okay, I've literally never heard of this other meaning.

Here's a good article by the Athletic about it (paywalled though.)

Short version, fifteen players (mostly from Barcelona) protested against unprofessional treatment from Vilda and his coaching staff, and insufficient resources and backing from the federation. They requested not to be called up to the national team. Federation supported Vilda fully but later offered a compromise on certain issues, which is why some of the fifteen later returned for the World Cup. However, Spain are still missing key players who are continuing the boycott, most notably Mapi León.

I'm inclined to to believe the players on this, you don't have fifteen players refuse to play for their national team (with public support from another three, including Alexia Putellas) without having some serious problems.

You're welcome! Would be criminal not to post haha, fucking amazing

Love this place!

Shame. Thanks for answering!

Real Madrid are incredibly fucked, what a disaster for them.

the gist of it is that their federation fucked them over, but I've edited the post with some excerpts

Hold on, I found a non-paywalled article: https://www.abc.net.au/...

It's a great read, if rather depressing.

And yeah it's an absolute shitshow. Feel bad for the Spanish team who are the strongest they've been in a long time, but have to deal with this situation.

Fuck Rubiales, he would rather ruin Spain's chance at a World Cup then admit the players were right about that useless unprofessional cunt Vilda.

Very happy for Japan though, amazing result and I'm always happy when fellow Asian countries do well.

First twenty minutes I was genuinely laughing at how bad Miami was. Their goalkeeper is a wonder.

Busi is such class, I love him. And what a debut for Messi!!
