Do you reckon Sancho is now thinking he maybe should have stayed put in Dortmund

Yes he probably should, always felt his fee was far too high

[Leeds1000]

Great goal. We have some fantastic footballers. Gone are the days when people said English players don't make it abroad. I wish more would experience it.

Ronald Koeman sacked after 14 months in charge of Barcelona after their loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona are 9th in La Liga.

Check out the first goal, a sublime volley from Oliver Torres

Wonder who they've got lined up? Who would want the job?

[liggy]

I see Steve Bruce being an ideal fit
Plus he's available

Strongly linked with MB, although doubt he'll go anywhere this season.
wonder how Roberts will fare at Barca ?

Don't know Swannie will no doubt be a top profile coach.

Educated guess.

Xavi.

They have always seen him as the second coming of Pep

I've just read Xavi will be Barcelona's new coach.

Just looked up how it works (this is how i read it)-

Draw today with the 6 seeded teams getting a home game in a one match semi-final play off.
Hence Scotland & Wales wont play each other or Italy or Portugal in the semi-finals.

Winners of the Semis will then play one of the other winners in a final to see which 3 teams eventually qualify for the WC.

Seeds - Italy, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Sweden and Wales

Non Seeded - Austria, the Czech Republic, North Macedonia, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine

Note - Austria & Czechs qualified by their Nations League ranking not by been R/U in their group.
