Benfica could easily have had 10 with Nelson Semedo, Cancelo, Andre Gomes, Rony Lopes and Sanches.

Deportivo Saprissa, I want to know more. 

Biggest club in Costa Rica, once a North American giant until the MLS and Liga MX came around. Now that those clubs dominate the market, Saprissa can't really keep up financially.

[Azeem]

Just got the info that Carlos Querioz Iran's head coach is getting paid more than the combined salary of Sweden, Belgium, and Poland head coaches.

JEDDAH: Negotiations between the General Sports Authority (GSA) and FIFA to allow coverage of the World Cup in the Kingdom, a Saudi Arabian sports official has told Arab News. 

The Middle East rights to show the tournament are held by Qatar-owned beIN Sports, which is not authorized to air in Saudi Arabia. But with the big kick-off just four days away FIFA is under pressure to find a solution which will allow Saudi football fans to watch the Green Falcons’ progress in Russia.

Not shocked to see Sporting up there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with Al Ahly either since they are kings of Egypt and they made the World Cup. 

I have never heard of Deportivo Saprissa before.

Still, 12 players for Sporting seems like a lot

When the World Cup starts on the same day as Eid

How?

I can understand Cannabis but surely as a follower of the MLS you would have heard of them in the NACL before?

[Guest]

Is there going to be a matchday thread for the games? @Stan

No - because I'm not a fan of the MLS. I am a ST holder for my local team, but we are only 1.5 years old, so everything is new to me. Plus I have a life so I can't possible know every team in North America that wins their domestic league, when honestly, I don't give a shit.

I have a life too and don't give a shit either and I've heard of them.

I wasn't even having a pop at you, I'm just genuinely surprised as historically Saprissa are bigger than any team in the MLS bar maybe LA galaxy.

Nothing in my comment was a pop at you either. I honestly don't give a shit about a lot of the 'smaller' leagues. I have more important things (to me) to spend time on. 

I'm sure once Atlanta United make the NACL, I'll learn about a lot of teams I've not heard of before. 

Outside of MLS/USL/NASL and Liga MX, I couldn't name one team in North America.

Fair enough, I'm just surprised as Saprissa are one of the biggest teams in the continent. As I stated to Cannabis earlier, their downfall has come from not being able to keep up with the marketing and growing finances in the Liga MX and the MLS. They and Alajualense still can put together good runs in the NACL but it's getting tougher by year.

The fact that you, a Pervian, know this, just goes to show how much more time you have to dedicate to 'random' leagues than I.

Nah, it doesn't take much time for a football fan in North or South America to know that.

Its true I spend a lot of time on football but I know little about the Costa Rican league other than they, Alajualense and Herediano are the biggest teams.

Ah, regardless, it's time I don't have, and information I'll forget tonight.
