Wich team do you think could be doing much better at the moment? Asking this since Portugal and Italy bottled unnecessairly their groups and one of those teams is not going to Qatar. (It's hard to admit since im Portuguese ahah).
Somalia Mens National football team (Ocean Stars) has been drawn against Eswatini formerly known as Swaziland in the AFCON 2023 preliminary draw. The 2 legs will happen in March 21st and 29th. After the debacle of the games vs Oman and Zimbabwe, hope the SFA get their shit together. I believe we should play "home" for the first game and away for the second. I wonder if the game will take place in Mogadishu. Nonetheless, lets go Ocean Stars!
My own country (Indonesia) has a huge football culture and it is absolute shit at it.
America's actually doing pretty decent considering that the sport is only the 4th/5th most popular there. 12th in the FIFA rankings with many promising young players in the top European leagues is not a bad position to be in
They're still far off from challenging Europe or South America for the World Cup but at least they're the best in North America along with Canada and can be a potential dark horse in the next world cups
And also the same applies to Canada. Though I'm not familiar as to why they're having such a great year with them topping the North American WC qualification table
I just found out that two posts, one on Facebook and another on Twitter on the official FIFA World Cup pages expressing the counting for the unbeaten matches that the Algerian National Football team have, have been deleted. What is the reason, there are rumors telling that FIFA won't recognize the 34 matches as continuous unbeaten matches, WHY???
Twitter : " 😲 Algeria are unbeaten in their last 30 international matches, which is an African record by a senior national team 🌍#WCQ | @CAF_Online | @The Greens " link: pic.twitter.com/X173EPCVWL

Hey guys, my mother tongue is french, so I apologize for my english.
I have been a scout for almost 10 years, I mainly recruit guys between 15-18 years old so my clients give these guys a shot to turn their passion into a career. I have scouted in almost all South American countries (with the exception of Venezuela and Ecuador). Anyway, I was relocalized to La Paz, Bolivia in July, I am not gonna lie, I did not have high hopes to find any good players in the country. However I was so wrong.
I have been living in La Paz for almost 4 months and noticed something, Bolivians are by far the most physically gifted players I have ever seen. They can run for days without getting tired, Although they are not the tallest guys by any means, they are strong, they have good technique, amazing long shots, and above everything they are aggressive.
For some reason that I cannot understand, most of these guys never go pro, they just walk away from the sport after they finish high school. I have talked to some of them who had a real chance of making it in Europe or North America, but to my surprise, all of them turned my offer down. At first I thought it was something to do with me, and contacted some colleagues who have worked in the region but they also turned down their offers. Which makes me believe that there is a deeper reason of why Bolivians are reluctant to become professional footballers.
My question is: Why do the best players in Bolivia never go pro and they just walk away from the sport while other guys who are not as talented become pro players?
So the NT just lost the 3rd and final match of the Arab Cup by which our campaign came to an end.
We played 3 games against Algeria, Egypt and Lebanon losing 4-0 5-0 1-0 respectively.
For me it’s not about losing its about how bad we really are. A nation that loves the game yet we can’t provide 11 half decent players to represent the country? Is it the Football federation, the coaching staff, The players or us the Sudanese people.
I don’t really know all I know is I can’t show my face tomorrow as my Lebanese friends won’t leave me alone.
I'll be in Munich on June the 14th and was wondering if it would be possible to get 2 tickets for the Germany-Italy match and how I would do so? Ive seen some websites advertising tickets but they are more than 100 Euro and I wanted to know if there were any other places to buy tickets for cheaper.
Does it feel like it represents the country, or could it be better?
I understand, there could be a debate for not feeling connected to as they aren't from Nepali origin or there might be more pointers here.
However, it's a game we are bad at it. we might as well do whatever player is available and make best of it. for example, look at this Video
I am sure, if we can win some trophies and play more games. It would also be better for Nepali Origin player.
Anyways, it was just my 2 cents, as the A-division league is starting soon and we have hopes some foreign born Nepali player will come or some wonder kid will recover in months and be savior for Nepali football.
