Just realised Jovic is gonna face his old club. Well current club technically. Footy is mad poetic.

how trash is it gonna be for Benfica if he scores the knockout goal, then Frankfurt activates his buy clause, sells him for a good bag and Benfica gets none of it.

Can Jovic even play against his parent club? Surely Benfica implemented a clause in which Jovic can't play for Frankfurt against them in European competition.

I realize it's an unpopular take but I'm sticking with a Juve vs. United final at Wanda. It's largely contingent on OGS finding the right centre-half pairing to go with Vic, whether that's Smalling or Bailly. Also Martial being fully fit after the groin injury. I don't think Ole will actually do it, but I'd like to see him start Dalot over Ash Young at OT the first leg.

Gotcha, man. My mistake then. FWIW, I don't think Frankfurt beats Benfica over two legs anyway.

I've been waiting to cop a James or Dav Sanchez for Colombia. Might scoop a Quintero River Plate too while I'm at it.
Quick tidbit on RM:
Not that any of us believed James was in Zizou's future plans, given his obsession with subbing on Lucas over Rodriguez but the Militao signing actually complicates the matter even further. Because of the three-player, non-EU limit. Vini is obviously one, Militao becomes two. Rodrygo Goes would be the third, unless we loan him out, which is very possible.
RM really betting Militao is the next Marquinhos, that can play CB, RB and CDM. Because that fee we're paying Porto is huge compared to what they paid SPFC for him on the low.
Edit:
Coupé It
, from what I've seen at SPFC and Porto, Militao plays aggressive in defence. Has a propensity for fouling and picking up cards. Not afraid to be on the ball when we play out the back.

FIFA is trying to do way too much. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Bale apparently wants to stay at Real. I’d really like to know why. Dude can go from being the outcast here to a hero in the EPL. Maybe part of it is he thinks his injury proneness is more suited for the Spanish game. But I think it’s gotta go deeper than that.

This is definitely strange. Like when he plays for Wales he is a leader and a world beater....you would think he would want to do that for a club as well and wouldn't be ok just riding the bench and being constantly critisized. But hey if he is happy and enjoying life the way it is.....happy to have him stay at RM he is an amazing talent.

Love the idea of more teams for the World Cup. The smaller nations get a chance to at least qualify and get a taste of the big time, while the bigger teams will still be there from the quarterfinals going forward. LOVE IT

Of the QF matchups, the Ajax vs Juventus draw is the most interesting for me. I don’t think Ajax will defend as deep as Atleti did and just absorb pressure for 90 min. Going to be fun to see

Naw it's a terrible idea. It's kind of insulting to small countries. FIFA is essentially saying you guys aren't good enough to make it regularly so we're gonna open up more spots for you guys. Obviously it's a bigger cash grab for them. More teams=more games=more money. It's just bad all around. The group stage is going to go to groups of 3 now instead of 4 and the knockout rounds will be all stupid because some groups will get 2/3 in while others get 1/3 based on GD and GA, etc. It's going to be so stupid

^Yeah, if you can’t qualify for the final 32, you don’t deserve to be there #KeepTheWorldCupGreat

Imma need Pogba to pull some magic out his rear end to get Barça knocked out the UCL.
In regards to James to Madrid thats not happening precisely because of the Non-EU spots. Vini, Militao, and Rodrigo occupy them and theyre trying to expedite Valverde’s passport before the next season begins as he is currently taking our final Non-EU slot.

Emotional Madridista pick
But I forgot Barça folded under pressure last year vs Roma, so considering that - I’ll improve United’s chances of winning from 5% to 13.5%
Oh and my opinion on Militão is - I don’t think he’s that great. I have my reasons. Porto may have fleeced Florentino like we did s couple years ago with Danilo
