oh it would've leaked for sure, but that doesn't matter, Spain FA didn't sack their coach because he accepted the Real job, they sacked him because he did so and they went public with it.

Yes... They even said as much. They said they sacked him because he only informed them 5 minutes before going public.

Made North America great again, but how will the fans cross the border?

BTW its pretty fucked up imho. USA is big enough and already did host a fantastic WC. Now they have even more stadiums.

Imagine flying from the north of Canada to the south of Mexico - acclimatization would be a bigger issue than in Russia.

They pretty much did. He had a release clause and Madrid paid it.

Did they pay the release clause without the FA knowing? Maybe the FA is incompetent and you can only blame yourself if there is a release clause.

Great. I bet Trump will do wonders for the cooperation between the three countries

A good choice btw.

Real simply informed them they'd pay the release.

Weird that you can make an official announcement without actually paying the release clause.

The fuck-up is making it public. I don't think Spanish FA would've went mental if only rumors leaked that he's going to coach RM after WC, especially if they'd been informed properly. So RM didn't actually need to make it publicly known to everyone that they've poached the NTs coach, they just decided they would because they are assholes.

Africa 2010, South America 2014, Europe 2018, Asia 2022, North America 2026

By that time you'd be an old fart with 15 yr old kids tho

But I’ll still be on the streets getting pissed, looking to buy cocaine and getting arrested

Tbh it was a disgrace that we didn’t get the 2022 World Cup and it went to Qatar of all countries FFS.

Crazy decision. Had them down as the favorites.

If Madrid sent the Spanish FA a letter of intent in a specific form, that is binding to them. They have to pay. And it's Madrid, so it's obvious they are able to pay it.

No. They felt they had to be involved way sooner. And they're right. It's outrageous behaviour from Madrid and Lopetegui to inform them only 5 minutes before going public. Lopetegui tried to blindside them and make it impossible to get sacked, because of the World Cup.

and yes it looks like Lopetegui was hoping to have his cake and eat it too.

Yeah, if they were involved sooner maybe they would've allowed it to go public, maybe not. But anyways, it's a fact that RM and their new coach acted like real assholes here.

Apart from the team atmosphere Spain will be just fine btw. They have an identity, they know what is expected of them in terms of tactics.

Of course. I understand Madrid wanted to make it public. I don't understand they were so callous towards the FA. Honestly all of this sounds as some sort of personal feud between Madrid directors and the FA.

Probably bribe FIFA with enough Yuan's so they can get it done

Long live corruption. It's the biggest disgrace in a long list. Best thing are those people still defending it

Man World Cup in Straya Country. Bondi Beach, Australian Chicks, fist fights with drunk Bruces and kangaroos. It would be an all tiem good fun. Only Europe (not eastern) can match and surpass Aussie World Cup.
