It just came to my attention that Denmark's best players are refusing call ups and that their federation are being forced to call up players from the third tier of their leagues and players from their national futsal team.
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?
