Jose Mourinho

Nowadays the truth is considered negative by some. 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho laid the truth concerning the young players’ performance in the International Champions Cup - those young players are supposed to be the future of Manchester United. 

If we use the Bill Parcells principle, ‘if you want me to cook for you, then allow me to go and buy the groceries - don't give me rotten tomatoes, spoiled potatoes, rancid onions and expect a great dish’

Here Manchester United front office and the academy gave Jose Mourinho ‘rotten tomatoes, spoiled potatoes and rancid onions’ thus the dish was tasteless. Manchester United must open up the purse and allow Jose Mourinho to acquire talent for the good of the club.

Manchester United will never rise to the stature of the days bygone - why - simple in the days of bygone Manchester United was the alpha dog in spending and acquiring talents, however today the competition is stronger and formidable - for example the cross town rival Manchester City has an unfathomable purse to spend as they wish to acquire talent - here clearly Manchester United cannot compete.

Coming back to Manchester United young players’ performance was clearly below average. Now how to deliver that message to the Manchester United board can be debated. To compound that heavy task on Jose Mourinho he is coupled with injured senior players. For the best of us, it will be frustrating

For Jose Mourinho who is expected to deliver silverware - it is impracticable or simply put impossible. So the truth shall set you free.

Milorad Mazic

The Serbian referee has a history of questionable calls as a referee of soccer matches - however, he seems to get repeated opportunities to officiate soccer matches. Hypothetically, lets assume Milorad Mazic is a an airline pilot, he has crashed a jet for an X airline - a simple question will the Federal Aviation Administration allow him to fly again? Or the airline will give him another jet to fly.

So we can definitely say the airline industry has an official (government) review process in addition to the private industry review (airline & manufacturer of the jet). 

None in soccer - it gives an impression - there is no review of the referee officiating performance - specifically in the case of Milorad Mazic - one would wonder why.

Milorad Mazic, awarded Mario Gotze a questionable penalty - in the World Cup 2014 Germany V Portugal - there was no review for his officiating performance.

In the same World Cup 2014 Carlos Queiroz, unsatisfied with the referee, was quoted saying: "Will this man be able to sleep tonight? Or for the rest of his life?

In March 2015 Mario Suárez, who received one of the cards, said "The referee is very bad. 

In 2018 - Champions league final between Real Madrid v Liverpool held in Kiev, Ukraine on 05/26/2018 - Milorad Mazic failed to discipline Sergio Ramos, who was ruthless and brutal causing injuries to Mohamed Salah and Loris Karius of Liverpool.

Imagine - If you were a customer to fly with X airline and you are aware of the pilot history that he has crashed a jet previously and customers were injured - will you fly with that X airline?

You can conclude soccer referee officiating is a joke soon we may see a soccer player catastrophically injured - guess what - that the referee will get another game to officiate - that is Milorad Mazic.

FIFA

The best FIFA men’s player of the year - the list of nominees is outrageous - specifically for including two players who were useless in the club level or national team.

Those two players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - that illuminates FIFA is a corrupt organization. FIFA is not an organization that rewards merit or specifically on the field performance.

Serbia

Serbia was exposed as a useless national soccer team in 2018 World Cup. They lost to Switzerland (2-1) on 06/22/2018, they also lost to Brazil (2-0) on 06/27/2018.

This Serbia team has a strange case of doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This is irrational soccer national team. Serbia turns athletic game into political matter.

Iceland

2018 World Cup Iceland was exposed as a useless team.

When Iceland tied Argentina (1-1) on 06/16/2018 it was considered a victory for Iceland by Europeans, however when other non Europeans tie - none of the Europeans consider it a victory for non Europeans - we wonder why - Senegal tied Japan (2-2) on 06/24/2018, Iran tied Portugal (1-1), Morocco tied Spain (2-2) on 06/25/2018 or Costa Rica tied Switzerland (2-2) on 06/27/2018.

Europeans did not stop there, but they claimed Iceland’s soccer pedigree is too great, its quality too high, with this startling results - Iceland tie result - it was embellished by Europeans to unfathomable success a miracle - they went further ‘This was a marquee result in a red-letter day for the team, and the country.’

We wonder why those Europeans did not cheer for Senegal, Iran, Morocco or Costa Rica when they tied. We will leave you to figure that one out for yourself. 

Iceland was peddled by European as ‘Cinderella story’ a movie director goalkeeper, a unique coach, Hallgrímsson ‘dentist’ is known for meeting up with fans at a Reykjavik bar before home games to talk strategy.

American fandom - Without Team USA competing in the World Cup, American bars and soccer fans have “adopted” Iceland as its team. We wonder why Americans could not ‘adopt’ Senegal, Iran, Morocco or Costa Rica.

Reyka Vodka, too, is attempting to win over Icelandic fans in the U.S. with a variety of watch parties in Manhattan during the team’s games. The parties will include cocktails and trivia -- and when Iceland takes on Nigeria on June 22, supporters can mingle with the Vikings at Legends pub - it was great Iceland lost to Nigeria (2-0) on 06/22/2018 -maybe Nigerians should look at Reyka Vodka different.

Can you guess - all those Europeans and Americans will try hard to sweep Iceland loss to Nigeria under the rug. Who predicted Iceland will crush Nigeria - ‘Iceland's footballing virtues have been well documented; the organization, the athleticism, the tactical self-awareness of its strengths’ Iceland lost to Croatia (2-1) on 06/26/2018.

Iceland with its media peddlers were exposed in 2018 World Cup as another useless team. Maybe Europeans, Americans & Reyka Vodka should look up the idiom truth is stranger than fiction.

Australia

Australia was exposed as a useless national team in 2018 world cup - with only 2 goals which came or were awarded a penalty by a referee - bottom line Australia could not earn a proper goal or score a goal on a merit basis.

Are those two (2) goals worth the funds that Australia spends? with each of Australia's 23-man squad to earn over $100,000 daily allowances,

Australia changed coaches paying coach Ange Postecoglou to go away - paying coach Bert van Marwijk, to come in

The FFA high-performance guru took the proposal for a hot-weather camp to coach Bert van Marwijk on the Dutchman's appointment and quickly got his support.

Australia were hoping the multi-million dollar investment in elite performance will yield dividends - they lost to France (2-1) on 06/16/2018, a tie with Denmark (1-1) on 06/21/2018, they lost to Peru (2-0) on 06/26/2018.

Maybe Australia did not learn from the idiom money can’t buy you happiness nor a successful, meaningful life.

Poland & Robert Lewandoski

Poland lost to Senegal (2-1) on 06/19/2018. Poland lost again to Colombia (3-0) on 06/24/2018. Clearly Poland was one of the worst teams. How they qualified - Poland played against worst team Kazakhstan, Armenia, Romania, Montenegro and Denmark - a walk thru a park.

Robert Lewandoski (29 years old) plays for Bayern Munich affirmed that Bundesliga is a watered down league or a bush league. World Cup 2018 did expose Bundesliga as a useless league (Germany did not qualify for the knockout phase).

Lewandoski played every minute in all three matches in World Cup 2018 - in the group stage. He could not score a goal - Lewandoski won Bundesliga’s top scorer award three times. That is a clear indication Bundesliga is a bush league.

Eden Hazard & Thibaut Coutois

Looking back at Diego Costa who was a cry baby - who demanded to be traded to Atletico Madrid.

How is Diego Costa doing now at Atletico Madrid - he has been reduced to a nobody - he kicked the fame with his provocative and violent behaviour that he had at Chelsea. Diego Costa is nobody on the club level - Atletico Madrid, a dunce on the Spain national team with zero on field performance in the world cup 2018.

Now looking at Eden Hazard (27 years old) & Thibaut Courtois (26 years old) demanding to be traded to Real Madrid. It is possible that will be their end of the line - in soccer. They will enjoy an easier life in La Liga - that may be the motivating factor.

Joachim Low & DBF

German football coach Joachim Low was useless, out coached in the world cup 2018 bottom line - Germany deserved they were kicked out.

Joachim Low is either blind or was drunk when Germany lost to South Korea (2-0) on 06/27/2018. That loss alone makes him ineligible to lead any national team let alone at a club level where monies of the owners are at stake.

Maybe German Football Association is slanted or their leadership is in the pocket of Joachim Low - can you say nepotism - maybe. Joachim Low selection of the squad at best is a suspect.

Selection of Thomas Muller was clearly a nepotism - Muller struggled in easy Bundesliga - the Germans were unable to be honest they blamed club manager Carlo Ancelotti for Muller struggles. The question to DBF & Joachim Low - if you were aware Muller was useless - why select him to the national team?

Selection of Marco Rues was clearly improper - maybe Joachim Low wanted him for his looks.

Sebastian Rudy, another questionable selection - clearly Joachim Low was drunk when he made the selection.

Out of the 23 team players 15 of them were useless now the obvious question why Joachim Low chose them? Can we hear nepotism!

The strategies and tactics that Joachim Low utilized in 2018 World Cup were novice by applying 4-2-3-1 structure, then after converted 4-2-4 structure against Mexico on 06/17/2018 which they lost (0-1).

Maybe German Football Association should learn something from France - when the majority of their players are children of immigrants - who raised France to the top - but don't hold your breath when you are talking about Germany they are Deutschland Uber Alles - so Paul Pogba you are not welcomed by Joachim Low & the German Football Association.

Brazil overrated overhyped team

Brazil team was composed ragtag of spoiled brats - Brazil overlooked their terrible loss to Germany (7-1) on 07/08/2014 - they have not learned their lesson - that Brazil is an average team no one loses their sleep playing them.

Belgium defeated Brazil in quarter finals (2-1) on 07/06/2018.

Neymar on field performance proved he’s a dunce for his country and his club.

Ballon d’or

It will be the utmost mockery to this award of the world best men’s player - if it is awarded to other than Paul Pogba or Mohamed Salah based on their on-field performance and overall behavior.

FIFA in the past has been awarded Ballon D’or that award exclusively to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It is a clear Barcelona team thru its lackeys who will promote the Barcelona team even when it is a loser - so clearly this award is not based on-field performance.

Lets look at Lionel Messi, he could not shine on his club level Barcelona v Roma (4-4) champions league 4/10/2018 or his country Argentina lost to Croatia  (0-3) on 6/21/2018 and France (4-3) on 6/30/2018 - his on field performance was dismal except scratching his beard - simply put he is a loser.

Cristiano Ronaldo, he could not score for his club final Real Madrid v Liverpool (3-1) on 5/26/2018, it was others who did the yeoman work in the club level, also he could not advance his country  when Portugal lost to Uruguay (1-2) on 6/30/2018 - his on field performance was non existent, except taking his uniform off and showing his torso - simply put he is a loser.
