There will definitely be many in the 1 million+ tickets sold in Qatar that are supporting other teams seeing as it's mostly expats living thereI think there are quite a few Americans that work over in Qatar they also have a military base there so have a strong link with the country. Probably contributing to the number of American fans there.

It means 'Expected Goals' and it's basically a measure of quality of chances created - it's more sophisticated than a simple Shots/SoTStill don't know what xG means and it this point I'm too afraid to ask.
Not sure it's always been like that but I find this whole discussion a bit silly since it's ultimately up to the player to decide and nowadays many players have multiple options, that's just the way of the modern worldAfter seeing this chart maybe people will stop saying France steals african players when it's always been the other way around.
Those countries with loads of french players are all former french colonies no? Stole a lot more than their players.After seeing this chart maybe people will stop saying France steals african players when it's always been the other way around.
Of course but I fail to see what it has to do with the topic at hand, unless you want to discuss history over the past few centuries, which has nothing to do with footballThose countries with loads of french players are all former french colonies no? Stole a lot more than their players.

It is definitely a factor but then I think only France, Brazil and Portugal had won their first 2 anywayThink it’s more to do with the already qualified sides taking their foot off the gas / sending out the reserves. Reckon more teams have seen the value of doing what France did at Euro 2000 and played the B team for the final match - saves the legs of the A team and gets the whole squad included.
Defense wins knock out stage qualification or something

As a smoker, right?Marcelo Brozović ran 16,7 km yesterday and broke a previous record of 16,3 km which record he owned too and ran it in semifinal against England in 2018.
Yup and he eats everything he can find before the game.As a smoker, right?
Will there be more Hat-trick for WC 2022 ?

It's wrong as we actually have 12 players still there - although possibly Telles goes down as Sevillahttps://talksport.com/football/1270006/man-city-man-utd-premier-league-still-world-cup/
Not sure where else to post this and didn't want to make a new thread. We're tied with City with the most players still at the world cup in the quarter final stages. We have 11 and so do City. PSG is second with 8 and Bayern have 7...
Good signs for us going forward, do find it a bit weird that our players are performing well at international level but can't replicate it at the club.
I was going to say the same thing.It's wrong as we actually have 12 players still there - although possibly Telles goes down as Sevilla
Impressive either way but might hinder us in PL restart
I think its because Telles has been rulled out of the tournament last week due to injury.It's wrong as we actually have 12 players still there - although possibly Telles goes down as Sevilla

I don't think so because he's still there and officially part of the squad - more likely it's because he's on loan or just Talksport got it wrongI think its because Telles has been rulled out of the tournament last week due to injury.

When I see this I think we'll see the sort of conference expanding and trading that has happened a ton in U.S College Sports. So I guess that would be something like Belgium and the Netherlands forming a league, Portuguese sides joining Spain, a Scandinavian league and maybe something in Central Europe too.Number and percentage of Players from all 32 World Cup Squads Playing in England:
World Cup 1998 - 74 (10.51%)
World Cup 2002- 103 (13.99%)
World Cup 2006- 102 (13.86%)
World Cup 2010- 117 (15.89%)
World Cup 2014- 119 (16.16%)
World Cup 2018- 129 (17.53%)
World Cup 2022- 164 (19.74%)
Almost doubled in the space of 24 years.
He is registered as Sevilla player by FIFA. That’s how it works. (If he gets injured FIFA will have to compensate them for his salary )I don't think so because he's still there and officially part of the squad - more likely it's because he's on loan or just Talksport got it wrong
Fair enough, that makes senseHe is registered as Sevilla player by FIFA. That’s how it works. (If he gets injured FIFA will have to compensate them for his salary )
See Brazil number 16.
