Al Nassr former president seemingly has had to buy tickets to give away for ACL semi-final v Kawasaki Frontale. After under 12000 watched "home" 1/4 final, seems tickets need to be free or attendance will again be low?
Or is that cynical of me?!

ACL quarter-finals in Saudi Arabia been a disaster so far?
Except for the plans of the AFC, and the " West area". That's gone to plan, almost. But empty stadiums, biased (it seems) seeding, match days (extra rest planned for favoured teams?).

Laughable formation for Yokohama F.Marinos shown on DAZN for their game. Only GK Park is in his correct position, and the manager is Argentinian?
Someone getting fired, I hope, or do they just NOT CARE enough to do ANY research?

"Football is unforgiving at the highest level, especially in the digital age: it’s a world of hot takes, viral abuse videos, AI-generated image banter and dressing-room rats leaking to monetised aggregator accounts..." Good read from @vincerugari.com www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...
A ‘noble death’ seems inevitable for Postecoglou at Tottenham
It speaks to the dark, oppressive cloud of negativity that has settled over Spurs that most people seem to have totally discounted any possibility that they could still win a European trophy.
