Mysterious mascot

For the first time in the history of the European championships a bear will become a mascot. This (friendly) animal was introduced last Tuesday, but nowadays one little problem still exist: how it will be called.
Hence the organization wants the help of every lover of this sport to go on their website and cast their vote. In there four different names are available, the final winner is expected to be announced next week, so that next summer this warm-hearted creature is going to be present (and make everyone happy: specially little children) on each stadia throughout Germany (as long as this football holiday lasts for full one month).

One case of punishment for a coach and its club

We all know how one trainer reacted at the Europa league 2022-23 final duel, and weeks after that incident came the result from the European football organization where the next sanction would happen only on an international scene.
Roma has lost the the last important duel of the season, and its trainer was furious at the main official. It was obvious that Jose Mourinho is going to be punished, but the question was with how much after he addressed the official with unsolicited language, cursing and so on. The decision from this Wednesday is that the 60-year-old will be removed from the bench on four matches. Knowing that Roma will began its participation in Europa league from the group phase, their coach would return to lead them for the last two duels.
And because their supporters behaved badly before, during and after the match, the Italian club also had to pay 55.000 euros.

23 June 2023

Teams have been revealed

As soon as Saint Kitts and Nevis was confirmed as the last (and also debut) participant, now all players are known that will take part at the major football holiday this summer in the region.
The Gold Cup 2023 team list has been completed this Tuesday with the final three qualifying games for the event, and immediately after that all footballers were known to the public. Each of the 16 coaches had to submit 23 names that will entertain us every night beginning from 24 June appearing in the group stage, and then quarter-finals, semi-finals together with the big final which is going to close the competition on 16 July. Unfortunately, it is impossible to see all 368 players, but those who will be fit to play would surely give their best to be noticed.
The whole list can be seen, and at the same time its version is also downloadable from the website of the North, Central American and Caribbean confederation.
