In case of Cricket Australia, the contract salaries are quite good and the cricket board can ask the players to prioritize national games over franchise cricket. That is not the case with WICB. The contract salaries are not that good and a number of regular players are not contracted. And then the players are drawn from over a dozen different independent nations, and therefore there is always controversies related to selection and bias. And then there are allegations from the players related to misuse of the funds that the board receives from the ICC.
West Indies is the name we only hear in cricket only not anywhere else there exists a country with such name. From day one West Indies team is compromised of players from different Islands and they were brilliant in Test and ODIs till late 90s. The downfall of West Indies started in early 2000 and now there performance in ODI has gone down to level that they have to play world cup qualifying rounds. If WIndies players continue to prefer T20 leagues over national duty then very soon WI will be like Zimbabwe and Kenya. @WatChe WI cricket form has already gone down and I doubt that it’ll ever recover in the coming year’s too, because T20 matches are rising a lot and so is the participating fees for the player’s hence I doubt that WI player’s will chose to play international cricket over T20 matches. Furthermore I don’t blame the player’s they have been complaining about their salary for quite a while, but the WI cricket board has ignored their pleas and now even if the board fixes it I feel that it’s too late as the WI player’s will not trust them. |

The first leg match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich is really interesting to look forward to. The match took place in front of Manchester City fans at the Etihad which is likely to favor the hosts. Manchester City are in good form going into the first leg, which is great for Pep Guardiola's squad.
So far Manchester City are really the favorites at home despite Bayern Munich being very strong team. I don't think Manchester City are bad about this, but anyway they have to try their best to win at home. I'm assuming Manchester City won, but it's hard to predict with certainty the outcome of that match.
Its seems not matter for Bayern Munich have good away record with 100% winning ration from group stage, indeed how strong Manchester City when playing home but Bayern always won on every away games. But have new manager under Tuchel I am not sure with Bayern will continues the winning record from group stage until quarter final? or has possibility for Manchester City stopping Bayern winning record until 8 games. Between Manchester City and Bayern Munich are quit well performance in domestic league, Bayern success back to the top Bundesliga standings and Manchester City have impressive performance last several games and keep compete for Arsenal in Primer League tittle race. Bayern Munich is an experienced side in the UCL competition and you can’t take away the fact that they have been a major contender for many seasons now. They know how to play games at this stage and with the experience of this new manager, I think it’ll be difficult for Manchester city to win. However, as Manchester City prepare to face Bayern Munich this night, Guardiola knows that if he does not win the competition with this Manchester City side, just as he did not win it when he was the manager of Bayern, then his time in charge of Manchester city will be regarded as incomplete and his reputation will be diminished. @Bobrox Bayern’s old nemesis Haaland is bound to hurt them a lot again, and I expect him to score at least one goal and continuously torture Bayern defenders. Also with Tuchel Bayern have a coach who understands City first hand, but that too won’t help Bayern because I feel that City will completely crush them and almost secure their promotion to the semi final’s. |

At first Stake.com applied wagering requirement to be eligible for the rain in the August month of 2020. Then they applied level 2 KYC verification requirement in the March month of 2022. Stake team has taken all the necessary steps to reduce the spam, but those aren't effective as the number of active users is pretty high there. Now they have only one option to prevent the spam in the chat, and it can be done by disabling the chat  . It's impossible for stake.com to do it obviously it is careless there must be another way, for example adding 5 admins to kick spam users or there is a simpler way increase wagering requirements to $10,000 in the last 7 days as they did in the drop code this one most reasonable  luckily I don't really care about whatever requirements are applied because I certainly not meet the requirements. Increasing the wagering requirement to $10k will have no big effect imho, it may give small effect in short period of time only. The fact is that the number of Stake users is increasing day by day and I think there are still many users who do not know about the rules to get the rain so they keep trying to chat as much as possible that lead into more spams. Adding more moderators/admins also wont be something effective if we look at how fast the chat is running especially at the time there is a nice rain. @Mahdirakib disabling the chat is a bad idea, because you’ll see that so many regular users interact there and it’s more than just rains in the chat as it’s a place to express yourself hence I don’t think they’ll ever disable the chat. Lastly while increasing the minimum wagering requirement to $10k won’t entirely solve the problem, but it’s not a bad idea if it can help reduce the spam percentage then Stake should try and implement it and see how effective it is. |

I don't normally come on so late but I just checked my email and saw that I received yet another Flash promo... but it came when I was already switching off and going to bed. Was really really hoping to get that promo before this current Lambo round ends, so am feeling a bit like grumbling and whining lol Funny is just was finishing like double the wager required for that promo in the same days! Anyway, 237 tickets. Maybe go for 250?  @slaman29 what flash promo is this because I can’t see it in my mail, so was this targeted to few users only or will the other users get it too? Also how did you collect so many tickets, and the gap isn’t too much so yea you should definitely target reaching 250 tickets before the current round ends in 32 days to further increase your chances of winning the Lamborghini. |

Most fans don’t see their team win anything in a lifetime. We’ve dined at the top table my friend, we’ve won everything club football has to offer. I want to see us sign two or three really physical, athletic midfielders in the summer. If we do I am quite confident we can compete for the title again. I think it’s the midfield that has cost us this season, we still have some really elite players in other positions.
You're right, they are currently lacking a creative midfielder who can balance the game clearly. Midfielder is one of the keys to club play, you could say that position is the soul of the game. If a club has a good defense and a good attack line but they don't have a midfielder who can balance the front and back lines, their game can still fall apart without direction. I'm not trying to compare, but we can see that at Real Madrid, they have midfielders who can think quickly. Like Tony Kroos and Luca Modric, for example, they have always been the game brains of Real Madrid. Some say that sooner or later Real Madrid's rhythm of play depends on them. I do agree that Liverpool has been looking like they are lacking a lot lately. They are not the team we remember them to be and that is why it's having some sort of issues, been a terrible season all along. But, also remember that this is still Liverpool we are talking about and even though they usually play well, they are the mostly same team and should be doing fine in the long run. They can just switch it up and suddenly have a great game, United may look worse than Arsenal, but 7-0 is not what they need, so if Liverpool plays like that ever again, they can get a win. I am not saying they will, Arsenal "should" win this game, but the difference is not that clear when Liverpool plays properly the way they used to play. @LFC_Bitcoin I believe that Mane exit really hurt them hard and even Klopp didn’t anticipate this downfall, but if he’s to reverse it then he needs a big war chest for the summer transfer window however I doubt that the current owners can grant him those funds. Lastly another option is to replace him and let a new coach work on the squad, but I doubt anyone is as good as him especially when it comes for the passion that he brings in Liverpool player’s. |

Has anybody managed to crack the perfect 7 picks this season with so many being inconsistent strikers...
I highly doubt it, with top teams like Chelsea and Liverpool still struggling it will be difficult to predict, and could the no goal be added to the selection options to guaranteea a winner each gaming week.
It's really hard to crack down on the perfect 7 picks for the season. We can see and do research that some of the top teams also have games that are uncertain or difficult to predict whether they will be able to score goals in every match. In fact, I myself had a lot of trouble when I would predict that only 3 or 4 teams could win in a row. As you said about these two top teams, Chelsea and Liverpool are quite dubious and indeed the two teams cannot be predicted with certainty and they cannot even give the best for their own team. @Woodie I don’t think so because so far I haven’t seen any post that can confirm that a particular user has actually achieved it, and last I remember seeing is @tokeweed predictions that actually come close to winning but in the end even he didn’t win it. @tusandii totally agree with your assessment, as these team’s player’s are always expected to score goals but they have horribly disappointed us with their performance during this season. |

Well this is not bad at all, besides that Tuchel looked very good, but let's remember that this is only a match, he has to continue maintaining that level, 2 points is short for what they have to have an advantage, but for a reason it starts I think that almost everyone was very aware of this game for all that it meant, the debut of this coach, everything was there, and Dortmund played very well, I cannot deny that Dortmund has a very high level, but this time he could not With Bayern, it's incredible, but the things that can happen in fútbol are beautiful, good for BAYERN, they need to measure themselves in UCL to see how they are doing. Bayern retake control of Bundesliga with Dortmund hammering -snip Bayern vs Dortmund was an interesting match last time but it ended embarrassingly for Dortmund when they were beaten by Bayern with 4 goals. who would have thought that Bayern could take Dortmund's position at number 1 on the standings and that is in accordance with the previous prediction that Bayern has the opportunity to shift Dortmund from the German league standings. but it is still a mystery that Bayern must really give a good performance in the next game because Dortmund can still take over because these two teams are only 2 points apart which can be easily overtaken by Dortmund. but if you look at Bayern's current performance it looks like they have a good performance in the next few matches. well, hopefully my prediction is right. @len01 it’s too early to judge Tuchel performance, because if Bayern don’t win the league title then he can say that he barely had time and that’ll be a valid excuse. However if he can help Bayern win the league title and even the champions league then he’ll definitely be rewarded with a new and bigger contract by Bayern and Chelsea owner’s will be left red faced for their decision of sacking him. |

Manchester United showed good pressing, especially MJ were good in the first half. But I would point out that Brentford played weakly in this match. I think Ten Hague's team could have scored more if they hadn't been hampered by the rain and the wet field.
Honestly, yes. Man United is getting stronger and much better during this season, within all debates and controversial that they have, we can focus on their focus more. They are getting stronger and this is good enough they can be qualified for the next UCL. Although their position is dropped in the fourth because of the high progress of Newcastle and dropped performance by man United several weeks ago, this doesn't mean that Man United has no longer chance to take over. the point is the same, 53, so they still have big chance to be in the third position of EPL. I am not so sure whether Manchester United is getting better and better. I agree that they had an uptrend in the meantime when you compare it to their bad start into the season, but if you look at their last four games they lost two games, tied one game and won one game. That is how you lose everything in the end, not exactly representing how you got better and better over the course of the season. @shogun47 Manchester United have definitely improved a lot, but they’re yet not consistent as we saw in their performances against Liverpool and Newcastle. @Rengga Jati the battle for third spot will be very interesting as both Newcastle and Manchester United look pretty strong at this stage, and both know that if Chelsea end up winning the champions league then the fourth spot won’t matter hence finishing third would be a priority for both the team’s. |

After Barcelona were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League by Manchester United, they turned all their attention to the domestic trophies more importantly the La Liga title and then the Copa Del Rey cup. There's absolutely nothing wrong with winning both trophies. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid last three weeks in the league and would've consolidated on that winning to turn the cup tie around but failed to do so. Karim Benzema made the difference in that match after scoring his second hattrick in two matches what a player he is .
what Barcelona has done so far is quite good but what happened in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey was not easy for them, Real Madrid is a tough team with a high mentality. but now Barcelona has a big chance to win the La Liga title this season, that's already very good in my opinion. while Real Madrid is still ambitious to win the UCL again this season and they also have a big chance of winning the Copa Del Rey. Maybe Barcelona's mistake was that they overlooked Real Madrid's ability because they defeated them seamlessly in all the last Clásicos this season. This is how it works: winning many matches doesn't matter if you lose the few decisive ones. Well, maybe it works for the Liga title, but then don't be surprised if you get ashamed in your own field in Cup semifinals... The only thing I would comment on is FCB's fatiguing performance due injury. The absent of Pedri, and few other significant players like De Jong, christensn and dembelle contributed to Barcelona's poor performance. Remember injury challenges like this also contributed to Real Madrid's performances in their first leg clash with barca in the copa del rey semi finals. . They never overlooked real Madrid's ability , they only played their best which was not really good for them against a triggering team like real Madrid @Docnaster while Barcelona are winning the league title, but the referee scandal is bound to derail their title win and what’s more shocking is that La Liga has decided not to punish Barcelona even if they’re found guilty. Lastly Real Madrid could have challenged Barcelona had they recruited few player’s this season, but since they didn’t spend much this year now I believe that they’ll recruit many player’s during this summer transfer window in the hope of reclaiming the league title. |

These are the games taking place this weekend:
Saturday 8th April 2023
Manchester United vs Everton
Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Fulham vs West Ham United
Leicester City vs Bournemouth
Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Manchester City
Sunday 9th April 2023
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool vs Arsenal
If Manchester City manage to beat bottom of the table Southampton on Saturday they will close the gap back down to just 5 points and all the pressure will be on Arsenal to beat Liverpool at Anfield. There is a big game to play between relegation candidates Leicester City and Bournemouth.
@JollyGood I expect Liverpool to put up a strong show, because they have more to lose if they don’t beat Arsenal hence my prediction is that Liverpool will win. Also between City and Southampton picking City is an easy choice, but considering that Southampton also desperately needs those 3 points I won’t be surprised if they’re able to stun City by defeating them. |

it is very unfortunate if Inter Milan cannot restore their performance in the near future. because they also have an important match in the Champions League and the opponent that Inter Milan will face in the Champions League is also a pretty tough opponent, namely Benfica. Even Benfica has a record of not having lost a single time in the Champions League since the group stage to the round of 16 yesterday. so Inter Milan's task is really tough.
It will not be a tough game for benfica. Benfica has a very good record in UCL and domestic league. it has been reported that Bahrain-based fund InvestCorp has reignited their interest in buying Inter from current owners Suning.
This according to Italian business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, who report that the fund are working on a dossier to potentially complete a purchase of the Nerazzurri, and that they are looking for investors. https://sempreinter.com/2023/04/06/investcorp-interest-buying-inter-milan-suning/Intermilan will be facing salernitana which can be considered as easy opponent right now. The problem is salernitana is still playing consistently. It never loses in the last five matches of serie a. It's possible for edin dzeko to play against salernitana. The busy schedule has been forcing intermilan to did some rotations. There is also speculation about some players like asllani and de vrij will be included in the starting line up against salernitana. It will be a disaster if intermilan will be still losing points against salernitana. @X-ray Inter has to win their game against Salernitana, because if they end up losing the game then they could probably drop out of the champions league spot hence it’s a must win game for them. Also it’ll be really amazing if they get a new owner as they really require funding if they’re to challenge once more, but until it’s confirmed we can only speculate as such deals often end up being cancelled but fingers crossed for this one. |

After hearing the news of Frank Lampard become Chelsea's interim manager, lots of mix reaction out there. However, this deal is only valid until the end of the current season, so the club will continue talks with high-profile managers for a long-term project. It's clear that Chelsea wants to take their time before making a final decision on who will lead the team successfully and meet the criteria of coaching a top club. Fans should take comfort in the fact that the board members are working hard to find the best solution for the club.
For next season, Chelsea will likely direct Frank Lampard to lead this club. Actually, Lampard has a difficult task to finish this season in the Champions League and Premier League. Regardless of whether he will be a permanent coach or just for one season, the club still holds meetings with several other coaches as a long-term option. That is, the task that is carried out by Lampard is very difficult and this is a challenge for him. If successful, he will get the potential to be extended. @onecall123 it’s a terrible appointment in my personal opinion, because the player’s won’t respect him since he’s a short term coach and furthermore we all saw how bad he’s been in the premier league so now I strongly feel that Chelsea’s management has absolutely no clue how to run the club. Lastly to all Chelsea fans I would advise you’ll to stop watching Chelsea games till the next season starts, because I expect them to perform poorly in their remaining fixtures. |

I was quite surprised with Rajasthan Royals' decision to use Ravichandran Ashwin as an opening batsman. It didn't worked out anyway, as he made a duck from 4 balls. The other opener (Yashasvi Jaiswal) also failed yesterday. And it is quite surprising to see Riyan Parag getting included in the playing XI, despite not making any significant contribution either with the bat or ball. Anyway, Devdutt Padikkal was the one responsible for RR's loss yesterday. In a match where the required run rate was close to 10 runs per over, he made 21 from 26 balls.
It was a poor decision by Rajasthan and Ashwin failed to collect any runs off 4 balls. Rajasthan's opening pair performed very poorly. A good performance from the opening pair plays a very important role in batting against such a big target. If they could collect 50 runs from the opening pair, maybe the result of the match would have been in favor of Punjab. Also I found Devdutt Padikkal's batting very boring in this match. He scored 21 runs off 26 balls. I don't see how it makes sense to bat at a strike rate of just 80 when the team is batting for 198. The batsmen should have been more responsible. If someone chases and loses by a margin of just 5 runs, then it is natural to feel regret for them. Rajasthan Royals scored 192 runs against Punjab Kings set a target of 197 runs. Looking at the scorecard, it is easy to see Rajasthan Royals's Devdutt Padikkal's weak batting. His lowest batting performance is the only reason for Rajasthan Royals to lose the match. Everyone expect responsible batting in this type of situation which he completely failed to show. @Kro55 I’m not sure what was the Rajasthan management thinking when they sent Aswin as the opener, and I hope that they don’t repeat this stupid mistake again during the course of this tournament. Also the RR management needs to work on their overall tactics, because they had a stronger team yet they ended up losing the game. |

It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG.
Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work.
That's well described and the fact that we are talking about it is even bad enough for PSG. The Ligue 1 is so bad that PSG can't motivate themseves to win it easily. To me it is not a sign of the strength of the other teams, it is a sign of the weakness within PSG. They aren't good, they can't compete at their maximum. They miss the competition during the entire season until they finall are up against a world class team but when the time has come they aren't prepared themselves. This project PSG isn't going anywhere from here. Some say that Zidane wants to take over, but do you really believe that? Is the Ligue 1 the place where he wants to continue his career? I don't see that happening. It is unlikely that Zidane will agree to lead a team (even if we do not take into account the fact that he has Marseille roots and is "historically" an enemy of PSG) where he will not have full power. As long as the team has such anchors as Neymar and Messi, a normal coach will not go there (only for space money or for other unsportsmanlike reasons). In general, PSG is largely a political project, and given that politics is dirt, not everyone agrees to get dirty. Last season PSG after being eliminated from the Champions League in Ligue 1 really improved their performance - I remember they had a lot of big wins, it seems that this season they don't have the moral strength to force themselves to finish the season normally. Well said. I don't think someone like Messi is a problem for Zidane. He also coached Ronaldo who is very similar. Space money might be one point, but I think you got it right when you said "not everyone agrees to get dirty". That hits the nail on the head in my opinion. Some people said he might go to Juventus Turin, but no way. Not as long as there is trouble going on and they don't have a team that can win the Champions League. There aren't many places for him to go when you won the Champions League with Real Madrid three years in a row. Deschamps extended his contract until 2026, Chelsea is in trouble and won't play Champions League next season, PSG is too political and the league is not worth his time in my opinion. There isn't much he can go to. Do you think he would go to Real Madrid for a third time? @KTChampions Messi is definitely leaving PSG, and I believe that they’ll sack their current coach and hire a new one and the incoming coach should sell Neymar and Mbappé and build a team of players who’re hungry to win each and every match. Also Zidane has many clubs to pick from and at this stage it’s safe to assume that PSG is also one of them, because here he could rebuild a squad entirely how he wants but will he come no one can say that with certainty. |

RR vs Punjab up next. I would be stunned if Punjab somehow end up defeating RR who clearly retained their form from last season. Buttler, Samson, Jaiswal, Paddikal, Boult and Chahal will be the key players for RR in this match in my opinion. So I tell you Kolkata Knight Riders want players in the team who can stay with the team for the entire season of IPL. But Kolkata Knight Riders will not have Shakib Al Hasan in the team for the full season because of an away series with Ireland in England, that's why they have decided to do so.
Al Hasan is a legendary all-rounder in the international format, but he is just an average player in the IPL which is why it's not really a big loss for KKR. @Haunebu upsets are bound to happen in IPL, but I too agree that RR is too strong on paper and they should definitely beat Punjab. Also it seems that Shakib voluntary withdrew from IPL which is quiet a big gesture in my personal opinion, and this gives KKR additional funds to target a quality replacement in his absence. |

UAE vs Jersey
Toss already done between these two teams. And the United Arab Emirates team choose the bat first. In these two teams UAE team is looking little bit stronger as compare to Jersey team. And if we look the last 5 matches of these two teams so we will see that the UAE team won 3 matches out of 5 matches and Jersey team won only one match out of 5 matches with one draw match. But we can't underestimate the Jersey team. Let see what happens?
UAE is a better team than Jersey and they have won couple of matches in qualifiers , their chances of qualifying are very thin but still they are struggling and trying to make it possible . UAE after 35 overs are on 174 runs they have lost 5 wickets .Muhammad Wasim has again played a brilliant innings of 65 runs he's such a consistent player and have always contributed alot in UAE runs chase . @ThemePen UAE is definitely the stronger team and currently they have scored 246 runs and last 4 overs remain, and now I feel that their bowlers have a decent total to defend. Also if Jersey lose few quick wickets then they won’t be able to chase this target, thus I feel that all those who wagered on UAE are bound to win their bets. |

Yes, that's the beauty of Test cricket. It is impressive to see Ireland's batters perform well despite not having a first-class structure, which speaks to their natural talent and dedication. But, Taijul Islam's performance in helping Bangladesh bowl out Ireland for 214. As for Bangladesh's response, they lost both openers within 10 overs. Bangladesh is currently down by 180 runs, but there's still plenty of opportunity for them to put up a strong fight tomorrow. Test cricket is a game of patience and strategy, so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the match days unfolds.
Ireland got 3 quick wickets but 159 runs partnership between Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan brought Bangladesh back in the game. Mushfiqur Rahim is not out on 96 runs while Shakib Al Hasan scored quick 87 runs. Bangladesh lead by 33 runs now and they have 6 wickets in hands. Ireland need quick wicket otherwise the game will skip away from there hands. There is 49 runs partnership between Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim which is an indication that Bangladesh batsmen have learned how to tackle Irish bowling attack. @onecall123 it seems to me that Ireland allowed Bangladesh back into the game, and this shows their lack of experience otherwise they could have applied some more pressure and possibly bowled out Bangladesh much earlier. Also Rahim has scored a century, and it’s a well deserved one because he kept his calm despite Bangladesh being in a tough spot due to the fall of those early wickets. |

Anyone following the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off? United States of America has already qualified for the next phase (2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier), since they have 8 points from 5 matches. In all probability, United Arab Emirates will be the second team to qualify, as they have 6 points currently and have one match against Jersey remaining. Jersey has lost 3 out of their 4 matches so far, and is a foregone conclusion that UAE will win the match and qualify for the next phase with 8 points. Namibia will fail to qualify, after they only managed to win 3 out of 5 matches.
@Sithara007 so far it’s clear that USA should easily qualify, and Namibia will be praying that other results go their way otherwise they’ll fail to qualify and here I feel had they beaten UAE then they would be in a safer spot. Also at this stage I too expect UAE to win, but I hope that they don’t play in overconfidence and end up suffering an loss which could harm their chances of qualifying. |

Sevilla can make a surprise against Man Utd, they could be Real Madrid of Europa league, they are not doing well in La Liga but could probably qualify here, they got players who are decent enough to make a surprise in this match, it's not impossible.
Let's see how it will be going on. MU has been facing some bad results as well as sevilla. It's not so hard to predict that if MU will be winning the game but most of the people here were always mentioning if sevilla won europa league so many times. It doesn't even matter a lot for me caused by MU's not in the sevilla's level. MU was able beating barcelona. I can say that if MU was in the different level compared with sevilla. Sevilla might win against cadiz but this will not even replace the fact that if sevilla was still at the bottom of la liga right now. I don't even think sevilla will able to beat manchester united. United is too strong for spanish club. Barcelona and betis have been proving itself if these clubs were not able beating manchester united. In my opinion if this match is very easy to predict at this moment. I wonder what kind of strategy that will be used by sevilla against united. Will sevilla turn to be fully defensive against manchester united? It's very interesting to know the answer. @makishart in Europa League Manchester United will be able to deploy Casemiro, and with him in the team Manchester United has a better chance of winning hence for me I expect them to win against Sevilla. However I'm sure that Manchester United player’s won’t treat Sevilla lightly, because Sevilla definitely loves winning this competition a lot thus I’m expecting them to be on their guard when they play against Sevilla. |

I still don't know how exactly they want to have a plan for this world cup, I mean they can let one country host the whole grouping stage and other countries host the other stages one by one, otherwise the teams in the world cup won't have the same situation and it's not fair for some teams to playing in Canada and use the hotels there while other countries play on Mexico and use Mexican training fields and hotels I'm sure some teams will be unhappy and if they get bad results they will blame FIFA for it.
I don't think this is enough excuse, Infact, I don't think this is even an excuse at all.. And trust me, I don't think any of the team would care about where they lodges or the kind of hotels they used, and where other teams lodged, the food the ate and the hotels they used. I believe they will all focus on their primary reason for being in those countries, and that is to play the football game and try to make their respective countries proud, they are not going there to party of to enjoy themselves, they are going there for a business, when time to party and have fun comes, I believe each of those players have more than enough money to afford himself any type of hotel in any part of the world he likes. @Fivestar4everMVP who said this isn’t a big issue, because it’s an open secret that player’s do not like to travel constantly during a tournament as it effects them plus they like to eat specific foods only so for them it’s a nightmare to constantly adapt to the three countries. Furthermore if given the option the player’s would have chosen to play in one country only, and maybe from an non player perspective you’re right but put yourself in their shoes and then you’ll realise that the constant travelling part will be a big hassle for them. |
