If you can’t see the difference in context here then there’s nothing much to say.Come on lets not pretend tapping up doesn't happen, my god you guys hail Agent Pogba .

Of course there is a difference, what I am saying that tapping up happens. Real Madrid are despicable, I cant stand them as a club, the manager stupid they are both in the wrong, no doubt in my mind no one is condoning what they did. What people are saying is the only losers in it all could be/ will be the NT and the Spanish FA.If you can’t see the difference in context here then there’s nothing much to say.
Coach is the biggest loser in this, prepared the team over 2 years for this and now he is sacked without showing what he is capable of.Of course there is a difference, what I am saying that tapping up happens.

Depends how the tournament goes for Spain, he will be managing at Real in a few weeks. He’s not Spanish so while he probably really wanted to guide the NT I doubt it will sting for long.Coach is the biggest loser in this, prepared the team over 2 years for this and now he is sacked without showing what he is capable of.
Agreed from a practical standpoint it's not a big deal but from a moral standpoint he should have told his currently employer that he was negotiating with a club and that he could be out after the competition.Why isn't he blamed though ? I am hardly seeing anything condemning him. Lopetegui is a real cnut
Why not, it's chance to lead Spain in the world cup. It will sting for long and even more so when he gets sacked from Madrid.Depends how the tournament goes for Spain, he will be managing at Real in a few weeks.

No doubt. But is that worth harming the national teams world cup chances by firing the coach one day before the world cup?! I don't think so.Him taking the job is not the problem. It is how he and Real went about it.
Even from a practical POV, it is wrong to negotiate like that. I am glad he is sacked because he deserves it and it weakens SpainAgreed from a practical standpoint it's not a big deal but from a moral standpoint he should have told his currently employer that he was negotiating with a club and that he could be out after the competition.

He's been their Sporting Director since November '17.It's.....Hierro.
Was going to ask if he was involved with Spain but I remember him managing Oviedo at some point last season, think he got sacked.
Other names mentioned were Albert Celades and Pablo Sanz.
Obviously he is.Coach is probably the biggest cnut in all of this too.
Probably makes sense as he's with the team in Russia rather than them flying someone out at short notice. His playing career will also command respect.He's been their Sporting Director since November '17.

100%. Would I have done it this way? No, but the Spanish Football Fed have cut their noses off to spite their face in a Trumpian rage. Childish.The coach is a cnut but why jeopardize your chances of performing well in the biggest tournament? I hope the ego of the Spanish FA doesn't hurt the people of Spain who have waited for the WC. The players who worked so hard for this, all ruined just because of a few ''principles"
That's a very reasonable posture. One always have to wait the worst from politicians.Way i see it there are two possibilities here:
1) Pettiness
2) surprising coherence
I'm naturally inclined to see the worst in people, especially when it comes to us southern europeans, so..
I'm yet to meet a spaniard with bigger priorities than their own ego, it's only right that their FA represents the peopleThe Spanish FA have decided their ego is a bigger priority than the World Cup.

You are the meanest portuguese that I have met, throwing shades left, right and center.I'm yet to meet a spaniard with bigger priorities than their own ego, it's only right that their FA represents the people
You're spot on. This is all down to Rubiales and his ego, but it's much easier to pin it on Madrid. The whole world hates the club anyway (it's not really hate, it's just jealousy, but we'll call it hate because it sounds better).So fecking small time and petty. Whoever has made that decision should be gone
Apologies I thought he was Portuguese.He is Spanish.
Just a jokeYou are the meanest portuguese that I have met, throwing shades left, right and center.
Indeed, was about to bet €100 on Spain as final winners at 5.5 last sunday. lucky escape !Well I'm glad my plan was to start making all the World Cup bets tomorrow, because this can significantly alter things.
