Instead of supporters, someone else have said that

In most cases fans from the stands are to blame for disrupting the games using nasty words towards players and because of it teams are paying hefty fines. But this time is a totally different story.
At the beginning of the week Montenegro and Finland have been entertained each other from the Nations league sixth round. However, in the finish of this 'so-called' entertainment turned out to be very ugly for Glen Kamara when was racially abused by home player(s). Maybe nervousness have played its part, by just knowing that during the duel they received two red cards (where one was shown off terrain) and five yellow ones. The Finnish football association immediately have reported this incident to the European football organization, but yesterday the midfielder said that did not want to get involved in the whole process.

Known some details for the summer event

Yesterday the first part of the European version of Nations league competition was completed, and immediately some things were rapidly revealed in which cities the final tournament will be played in the summer period of 2023.
Although it have not been decided where the finals would be staged on the night of the closing duels, Dutch media has reported that Rotterdam and Enschede have been chosen to welcome the four teams (that won league A groups) from 14 until 18 June. This duo was deliberately picked because the European football organization has recommended that both stadia (that games are going to be played) be in the same city or to be far away from each other on a radius of 150 kilometers.
By 13 April bids for hosting the final have submitted football associations of Belgium, Poland, Wales and Netherlands, and the deadline for submitting documents is 05 October. Since the first three have not qualified (for the second part) only the last country remains a serious contender to win the rights, and that decision will be announced in January of next year. An interesting detail about this quartet is that these four have played against each other in the fourth group of league A.

Qualified side will compete in the finals after all

Byron David Castillo was allegedly accused that under falsified birth documents played for Ecuador at eight qualifying games for the World Cup 2022 competition. In May Chile has complained to the world football organization that in the team has participated an ineligible player, and because they have qualified earlier, wanted to throw them out of the tournament. One month later their investigation showed that nothing was wrong, so the country who brought this up has tried once again to overturn the decision where they failed for the second time in a row. Whole noise about this case was for Chile to jump in their place and participating in the most important football event.
Hence on the hearing at 15 September in Switzerland was decided that Ecuador is now confirmed participant for the competition that commences this November.

20 September 2022

Wants to throw out a team who did nothing wrong

On 09 October the draw of the qualifying groups for the European championship 2024 would be determined and from now the host is orchestrating which country do not want to participate in the whole process. Three days ago in a letter to the European football organization Germany has 'politely' asked for Belarusian team to be removed from the elimination path.
If this rude and dumb request actually have an affirmative answer in that case we are going to be entertained by 53 teams instead of 55, however it would have serious consequences: plenty of financial fine will have to be paid to the excluded federation.

Known when round two will be completed

At the beginning of the week an Europa league game was cancelled, while 24 hours later it got confirmed the new date.
Everything was telling that Arsenal and PSV would play play each other like the other duels, however it got called off prior to the start. On Wednesday the European football organization has released a statement saying that these two would kick off this game on 20 October, and like that conclude phase number two from the second significant club event.
Reason behind the cancellation was somehow funny: lack of security people that was supposed to guard this match.

17 September 2022

Different incidents have occurred at two separate games

This week the international club tournaments were on schedule with its second round. At two duels in the Champions league there were some serious incidents that happened before and after the kick-off.
Milan and Dinamo Zagreb have played their encounter on Wednesday, however before their game the Italian police have captured 14 visiting hooligans. During the search of those 'spectators' authorities have found smoke bombs, knives and wooden sticks. Immediately they were arrested amid fears of repeating the same trouble from 2000 when these group of fans (Bad blue boys) have provoked an incident in the city of Milan with rioting and massive street fighting.
On the same night Porto and Club Brugge have entertained each other. Because we all know the final result, the heavy loss of the Portuguese football champions did not like some spectators. In a state of fury after the match, a group of fans have prevented the family of the coach Sergio Conceicao to leave the stadium with their car throwing rocks and insulting the passengers. The bunch did not physically attack them so his wife and two sons were unharmed.

Shortages of security personnel

Because of passing of the English queen today the European football organization issued a statement about two games that were supposed to play this Tuesday and Thursday.
Glasgow rangers and Napoli had to play their duel on 12 September from the Champions league tournament when it was moved to kick-off 24 hours later. Visiting fans will be absent from this match, and in reciprocity the Scottish club would not have their spectators to cheer them in the reverse leg scheduled for 26 October. However, at the Europa league one play is completely cancelled without telling when is rescheduled. The show between Arsenal and PSV is not going to start on 15 September at all.
Cause of this mayhem for these two duels is the same: lack and limitations of police and security officers that had to be present in both stadia.
