Living the tradition of firing any non performing player or manager, Brazil finally sacked its manager Dunga after his failure to advance Selecao from the group stage of Copa America Centenario. Knowingly, Peru defeated Brazil by 1-0 on Sunday thanks to the controversial goal that reportedly came off the hands of striker Raul Ruidiaz. Even though defeat margin was just one goal and overall gameplay of the Brazilian team was as well satisfactory but the tourney result let down the hopes for Brazilian football manager to retain his job after his side thrown out of the event. Brazilian Football Confederation informed about the decision taken in the meeting last night and he is asked to give his position after he returns from the United States this Tuesday. Next bigger question is who will replace Dunga on the top post, and CBF has the answer for that too. They have hinted that 55-year-old Brazilian manager Adenor Leonardo Bacchi would take the responsibility of the national team and he … [Read more...]
Blatter claims most of the European draws were fixed during his FIFA regime
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is back in the business again with his well-known tone and blames European soccer for adopting unfair play practices. He openly lambasts European watchdog for failing to control the ethics of the game by adding that most of Championship games were fixed using the ‘hot and cold balls’ method. Moreover, talking about his own eighteen-year regime residing on the top of the FIFA, there has never been a single game that was fixed but as UEFA games are concerned, no one can say anything. Possibly, he is the only one who believes all the FIFA games played during his regime were authentic since investigators have different opinion about his tenure residing on top FIFA post. Anyways, Sepp Blatter could be exhausting his disappointment after being out of the game for so long with no hope to return back either hence he is issuing exaggerated media statements to be in the front lines. Presenting himself as the only honest person, who should have pointed out … [Read more...]

Settlement seems to be far away between Eva Carneiro and Chelsea

Eva Carneiro, 42, is one such team physiotherapist who left the club job last September for inhuman treatment offered to him by the club manager during the treatment of Eden Hazard in a league game. The incident has already been discussed lots of times, but what is new in the development is, Carneiro left the job and filed a case against both Chelsea and Jose Mourinho in the public employment tribunal with her allegations including unfair dismissal, detriment, direct sex discrimination, and sexual harassment while she was on the job.
