Uefa allowing domestic games abroad is a sad turning point, ending soccer as weโ€™ve known it | Leander Schaerlaeckens The change may seem small, but the profit-seeking games are clearly the first step in a mass reorientation of the club game

Uefa says that allowing a Spanish La Liga match to be played in Miami, and an Italian Serie A one in Perth, isn't precedent-setting. But soccer's organizing principle has been shattered. Any game can go to the highest-bidding locale now.

โ€œThey talk about [Diego] like heโ€™s a street baller. But he never played on the streets. This conception that you only develop the kind of skills he has as a Latino is by playing on the streets, thatโ€™s bullshit,โ€ says Armando. โ€œIt was all by design. From training. From encouraging his creativity on the field, from discipline. He had to learn the mental aspect of the game quickly. We never criticized him for trying new things. That translates to his game now.โ€

Was working all day and coming home to this news is hard to process.

Genuinely cared about people. This is a loss for football.

Coaches, make sure you build and lean on your support system. Itโ€™s a hard profession and it takes a toll. You canโ€™t go it alone. Youโ€™ll never walk alone.

RIP ๐Ÿค

Abandoning the match clearly the correct thing to do. The soccer is secondary to players health (including other playersโ€™ mental health) and these are deeply traumatic moments when they happen.

We should never forget that Alex used her platform, her celebrity and her power to stand with Mana and Sinead as they fought against the power structure and a league that protected their abuser. A Hall of Famer for her play and an even better human off the field.
