Unai Emery will be looking for personal revenge against Luis Enrique for La Remontada in which then his PSG was overrun by Luis Enrique's Barcelona in the second leg in 2017 after a 4-0 win in the first leg. Emery's Aston Villa has a better chance than Dortmund today, but it would be a huge shock. Arsenal will try to become the 44th team to advance after taking a margin of 3 or more goals into the second leg in Champions League history, versus 4 times that leader lost the tie in the second leg. The last time it happened, 2019 as Liverpool came back at Anfield against Barcelona. Barcelona are still trying to finish the construction project at the Spotify Camp Nou, now rushing to get the special VIP seats constructed that were "reportedly" sold to unnamed Middle Eastern businesses for €100m. They need these completed in order to receive a delivery receipt in order to then (for the second time after it was thrown out the first time) account for the sale on their books and increase their salary limit. They did this in January which allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on appeal, but then that accounting was thrown out by La Liga, but appeals have allowed Olmo and Victor to continue to be registered, and yeah my head is spinning too. The club is hoping to have the stadium ready to play in before Champions League matches next season, but I wouldn't book flights just yet.The coaching carousel in Brazil has claimed Pedro Caixinha at Santos and Jorge Samapoli, who got spun off the carousel in France at Rennes, might return for another stint at the club. Iraq is looking for a new manager as they try to qualify for their first World Cup since 1986 as they have fired Jesus Casas following poor results in the last round of qualifiers.

The Agents Angle - The World's Premier Football (Soccer) Agent Show
Whilst one agency/agent is instructed by a court to pay a former player-client almost 5 MILLION euros in 'compensation', statements from Gianni Infantino in recent weeks criticising the outlay by English Premier League Clubs on agent service fees, but are these claims based on a false narrative? The Agents Angle examines the credibility of the FIFA president's comments, in particular the seemingly unjustified claims that FIFA 'Solidarity' and 'Training Compensation' payments to clubs developing players, are negatively affected by football agent commissions. There is a look at Italy with Italian Sports Lawyer Alessandro Mazzucato on the matter of football agent licensing and regulation, where the landscape although similar to France in that national legislation over-rules FIFA regulation, it also has its own variations in football agent regulations and licensing that agents need to be aware of. Plus a look at FIFA 'backing down' in the face of one legal challenge; and also an examination of the new FIFA Digital Agent ID 'Cards' for FIFA Licensed Football Agents, and whether a seemingly well intentioned initiative from FIFA 'falls short' and potentially leads to unintended problems for NOT JUST agents, through factors such as data-theft and the manipulation by the likes of 'fake agents'.

This past weekend, tens of thousands of people took to the streets in cities across Germany to protest the far-right Alternative for Germany party, the AFD. Protests erupted after journalists revealed that members met with neo-Nazis to discuss mass deportations, including of citizens. And, two incidents of racial abuse interrupted play in Europe over the weekend. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called for “an automatic forfeit for the team whose fans have committed racism," but critics are skeptical. Also, Bologna has become the first major city in Italy to introduce a speed limit for traffic of19 miles per hour in the city. Several other European cities have also lowered their speed limits to curb fatalities, but the restrictions have gotten a lot of backlash. Plus, Haiti's jazz festival flourishes despite security challenges.

The players who reached the knockout round of the Women's World Cup received larger individual bonuses than those of the past. The increased earnings can be life-changing for many of the players. FIFA, the world's soccer organizing body, pays $30,000 for the 732 players among 32 teams in the 2023 World Cup. The amount rises to $60,000 for players on the 16 teams that advance out of group play. The amount grows to $90,000 for players in the quarterfinals. That is a major payday, especially for the many players who have had pay disputes with their soccer organizations.进入女足世界杯淘汰赛的球员获得的个人奖金比以往更高。收入的增加可能会改变许多玩家的生活。 世界足球组织机构国际足联为参加 2023 年世界杯的 32 支球队的 732 名球员支付了 3 万美元。对于小组赛中晋级的 16 支球队的球员,奖金升至 60,000 美元。 进入四分之一决赛的球员的奖金将增至 90,000 美元。这是一个重要的发薪日,特别是对于许多与足球组织发生工资纠纷的球员来说。Hildah Magaia is on South Africa's team, and was a big part of its advance out of group play into the knockout round. The team calls Magaia “Breadwinner.” The term is often used to describe someone who earns the money needed to support their family. The South African players doubled their payout. Magaia says she plans to use the money to care for her mother. “I'll be able to do everything for my mother because I'm the one who's taking care of her,” she said. “I'm the breadwinner, so I'll be doing everything for my mom.”希尔达·马盖亚是南非队的一员,他是南非队从小组赛晋级淘汰赛的重要一员。该团队称马盖亚为“养家糊口的人”。这个词通常用来形容那些挣钱养家糊口的人。南非玩家的奖金翻了一番。马盖亚说她计划用这笔钱来照顾她的母亲。 “我可以为我的母亲做一切,因为我是照顾她的人,”她说。 “我是养家糊口的人,所以我会为妈妈做一切。”Deneisha Blackwood plays for Jamaica. It lost to Colombia in the knockouts. She said the minimum pay was a good start for her team, which has had serious financial difficulties. “A lot of us have bills to pay and family to take care of,” Blackwood said, “and I think for the younger generation, especially, football doesn't make you a lot of money. So for (girls) to see us doing what we love and realize that you can make a living off it — it's motivational.” In June, FIFA said it would provide $110 million in prize money for players of the Women's World Cup. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the money would be sent to soccer's governing bodies, called federations. They would be responsible for awarding it. Infantino said he could not guarantee that the money would reach the players.德内莎·布莱克伍德为牙买加队效力。在淘汰赛中输给了哥伦比亚。她表示,最低工资对她的团队来说是一个良好的开端,该团队目前面临严重的财务困难。 “我们很多人都有账单要付,还有家庭要照顾,”布莱克伍德说,“我认为,尤其是对于年轻一代来说,足球并不能让你赚很多钱。因此,对于(女孩)来说,看到我们做自己喜欢的事情,并意识到你可以靠它谋生——这是一种激励。” 6月,国际足联表示将为女足世界杯球员提供1.1亿美元的奖金。国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺表示,这笔钱将被送到足球管理机构,即足协。他们将负责颁奖。因凡蒂诺表示,他无法保证这笔钱能够到达球员手中。FIFPRO is an organization that represents international players. The organization said late Tuesday that it was assisting Nigeria's national team players in a dispute with their federation concerning earnings dating back as far as 2021. “The team is extremely frustrated that they've had to pursue the Nigeria Football Federation for these payments before and during the tournament,” FIFPRO said. “It is regrettable that players needed to challenge their own federation at such an important time in their careers.” Before the World Cup, South African players boycotted a game against Botswana because bonuses were not included in their contracts. Patrice Motsepe, president of the African Football Confederation, agreed to give $320,000 to the players to be divided equally. The dispute was settled.FIFPRO 是一个代表国际球员的组织。该组织周二晚间表示,正在协助尼日利亚国家队球员与尼日利亚足协就早至 2021 年的收入发生纠纷。“球队感到非常沮丧,因为他们之前不得不向尼日利亚足协索要这些款项。”在比赛期间,”FIFPRO 说道。 “令人遗憾的是,球员们在职业生涯如此重要的时刻需要挑战自己的联盟。”世界杯之前,南非球员抵制了对阵博茨瓦纳的比赛,因为他们的合同中没有奖金。非洲足联主席帕特里斯·莫塞佩同意向球员们提供32万美元,由他们平分。争端得到了解决。Nigerian player Uchenna Kanu said the money was not the team's main goal --- playing well was. “But of course, if we get paid that much money, of course, it'll have a huge impact on our lives,” Kanu said. “We have families, we have things to take care of with money. That's important for us as well.” The total prize money at this Women's World Cup is more than three times the $30 million that was paid out at the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. But it is still far less than the $440 million in prize money for the Men's World Cup in Qatar last year.尼日利亚球员乌琴纳·卡努表示,钱不是球队的主要目标,打好比赛才是。 “但是,如果我们得到那么多钱,当然会对我们的生活产生巨大影响,”卡努说。 “我们有家庭,我们有需要用钱处理的事情。这对我们也很重要。”本届女足世界杯总奖金是2019年法国女足世界杯3000万美元的三倍多。但仍远低于去年卡塔尔男足世界杯4.4亿美元的奖金。

Today's word of the day is ‘feasible' as in Minor League housing as in drama is back! MLB owners announced they would take care of housing for some minor leaguers and now we have some more issues. The MLB lockout is only for Major League players on a roster… everyone else, sorry. So let's dissect the latest issues and what MLB had to say about it. MiLB players also won't be required to be vaccinated for this season. Staff, yes. Players, no. Why is this? LOCKOUT! (15:00) What's going on with Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys? He was safe and then Sean Payton stepped down in New Orleans. Is he still safe? Yes, because Payton isn't coaching in 2022. Dan Quinn announced he'd be back in Dallas… maybe that's why McCarthy is staying? NO! Jerry Jones wants Payton so he'll wait until Payton is ready. *cough cough* 2023. (23:10) Review: As We See It. (28:10) Let's talk about football or soccer or futbol. FIFA President Gianni Infantino had one of the worst quotes of all time. This man had the audacity to say the World Cup should be every two years so African countries could have more hope and not die at sea trying to find a better life. WHAT!? (32:55) NPPOD. (37:45) What is going on with the Arizona Coyotes? They were locked out of their arena in Glendale. They are still looking for a home… and it could be Arizona State University. Embarrassing. (42:15) Let's update ourselves on Meyers Leonard. He was traded by the Miami Heat and then cut by Oklahoma City after shouting an anti-Semitic remark streaming video games. What has he done since? Everything he should have done since; education, outreach, change. And we'll end with David Bateman, who was a chairman for a tech company in Utah, and he blamed Jews for covid. Just more horrible antisemitism. Be better. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Part 1 It will be exactly 100 days between when the Premier League was paused and when it will resume, but on June 17 we will finally see some football take place in England's top division. Hello and welcome to the Total Football podcast. I am your host Declan Harte and joining me is Andrew Conway. Andrew, how are we feeling? Part 2 Before we dig into the Premier League's return, we must discuss the Bundesliga title race which was effectively ended with Bayern Munich's 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund last week. Staying in Germany, the DFB have said they will not sanction Marcus Thuram, Jadon Sancho or Achraf Hakimi for their messages for the Black Lives Matter movement, which is really the bare minimum response. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called for “common sense” from domestic FAs when it comes to sanctioning players for political messages. "For the avoidance of doubt, in a FIFA competition the recent demonstrations of players in Bundesliga matches would deserve an applause and not a punishment," Infantino said in a FIFA statement. "We all must say no to racism and any form of discrimination. We all must say no to violence. Any form of violence.” Which is just as well FIFA disbanded its own anti-racism taskforce in 2016, which members of the taskforce warned against. Since then, we have seen racist incidents go severely under-punished across the game. Premier League clubs have gotten involved, with Chelsea and Liverpool both staging moments in remembrance of George Floyd, but both clubs have had their issues with racism too which every club should be addressing. Police brutality makes up only one of many ways in which POC are discriminated against, and football is not immune to racism Part 3 On Thursday May 28 it was announced that Project Restart had its end date. It is now two weeks until Premier League football makes its long awaited return, with Aston Villa versus Sheffield United and Manchester City against Arsenal being the first two games back. The Guardian outlined six problems that the 20 teams will face between now and the end of the season. We will never know how the season would have played out normally, but under the given circumstances who do we expect to thrive and who do we think might fall under the cracks?

Imagining himself as a peacemaker in a conflict-ridden part of the world, FIFA President Gianni Infantino sees a 2022 World Cup shared by Qatar with its Gulf detractors, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, as the magic wand that would turn bitter foes into brothers. It may be a nice idea, but it is grounded in the fiction that soccer can play an independent role in bringing nations together or developing national identity.
