🚨REPORT: Wesley Sneijder on Barcelona celebrating their La Liga win:
"This is a club that hasn't won the Champions League in over 10 years, fails in Europe, and suffers humiliation every season, yet they celebrate league titles as if they've conquered football again."

MEXICO World Cup squad projection thread.
Javier Aguirre seems to have a lot of spots on the 26-man roster locked in two months before kick-off.
In goal, Luis Malagón's injury means that Raúl Rangel will be No. 1 in goal, and Memo Ochoa will return for a sixth World Cup.
In defense, Everardo López has overtaken Jesús Orozco, who has been dealing with injuries and has not yet played in 2026.
Marcel Ruiz seems set to be at the World Cup despite a partial ACL tear, though his role in midfield may be limited. New La Liga arrivals Obed Vargas and Álvaro Fidalgo will play key roles.
Raúl Jiménez is the key man up front, with in-form Armando González providing an interesting option.
If Real Madrid is a serious club they call up Xabi Alonso again, beg for his forgiveness and give him full control and reign as he sees fit while in charge. Whoever he wants in bring them in, whoever he wants out… FUERA 👋🏻
An approach that should’ve been taken when he was here
@FootballAlbXI@KuqeZiFootball Those days of Tolaj and Broja cooking in the prem league u18s I think it was. Man, I really hope Broja finds himself again. Very great prospects they both were and Tolaj excelling now in league one. Maybe they both recreate that 2020 season in the championship next year.
⚽🅰️ 24-year-old Lorent Tolaj made his return to the starting line-up today following his injury and picked up exactly where he left off – he contributed a goal and an assist to the victory.
Both Albanian FA's needs to plan his call up next season. I can’t see him staying in the League One. Switzerland follows him too.
@ALBfootball Likely was Sylvinho’s last game in charge and ofc he goes out in the most Sylvi way possible. Subs on a national team debutant (Pilios) and out of position at that while leaving Mehmeti on the bench to rot. Just wow…
@FootballAlbXI@AlbFussballDE Ofc the biggest talking points are the Mehmeti and Muci returns to the NT but the Gripshi call up here is going to be super underrated and go under the radar. Really hope to see him get some playing time on the field though Sylvi will prob rely on Broja for all 90 both games
🇦🇱 The Albania Senior Squad List is Out!
Coach Sylvinho has announced his selections for the upcoming matches! Some big returns and defensive reinforcements highlight this latest call-up.
🆕 New Faces
Bujar Pllana – Lechia Gdańsk 🇵🇱
Stavro Pilo – AEK Athens 🇬🇷
🔄 The Returns
Great news for the attack as Anis Mehmeti and Ernest Muçi are finally back in the squad! Their creativity has been missed.
📋 Key Details & Tactical Questions
This list is very interesting, especially regarding the center-forward position. With both Manaj and Daku out due to injury, Sylvinho hasn't called up a "traditional" target man.
Broja has mostly been used on the wing under Sylvinho and Uzuni isn't exactly the physical striker who holds up the ball and dominates the box.
The Strategy: It will be fascinating to see how we set up tactically. Will we see a "False 9" system or will one of the wingers be forced to adapt to a central role?
How do you think Sylvinho will set up the attack without a natural striker?
@ALBfootball@AlbFussballDE Absolutely love the Gripshi call up, genuinely think there could be some valuable output from him if they play him with missing Manaj + Daku from injuries and Broja just not being at his best. I doubt they start him, but would like to see him get minutes off the bench at least.
The list is here!
Yes! Mehmeti is actuallly there!
Pilo & Pllana as new faces.
Manaj, Berisha, Daku & Kumbulla injured.
This is the best list I have seen from Sylvinho!
Thoughts?
Armando Duka (President of the Albanian Football Association) and Samir Mane (the richest Albanian in the world, estimated at 1.5 billion) post a video on Instagram discussing whether Samir Mane should buy an Albanian football club.
Could there be any truth to this?🤔
@officialdalper@ChampRDS@boxingscene Let him have time off? You do realize no one is pointing a gun to his head and forcing him to fight. If he decides the time is right to do it he’ll sign a contract and fight on his own accord.
@BadTakeEnjoyer@GenoPro2@berkie1 China produces nearly 10,000 Mton more of CO2 emissions than the U.S. but thankfully we’re limiting people from the Bronx driving down to lower Manhattan to fight against pollution… we’re making such a worlds difference 😊😊
