But the invitees are normally from the CONCACAF federation, hence why the US , Mexico and Costa Rica have been invited the most. So inviting Japan and Qatar is very random.

Actually, Japan is a regular guest to the Copa America, but I have never seen Qatar there before.

Probably need to learn how to play football before they host the World Cup
Qatar are a very competent team these days. Nothing special, but better than say South Africa in 2010. I mean they won the Asian Cup this year beating Japan and South Korea on there way to victory.

Don’t really get why they don’t make if the Americas tournament and add Mexico USA and Canada surely makes more sense.

Brazil is home to the largest number of people with Japanese descent in the world, and there is a sizeable Brazilian diaspora in Japan as well. Not sure it explains anything but there might be some kind of cultural connection and, as mentioned, they've partaken before.

He may start in Argentina's opening match if Pezzella is not ready

Lo Celso is a guaranteed starter too

Btw, seen a lot of discussion about how you pronounce Lo Celso's surname in the transfer forum where I can't post. We pronounce it Lo Chelso in Argentina, and it's the proper way as it's an italian surname

Thanks. Similar to "Pockettino", then? ;)

Seems to be a lot of posters
who are banned
from the transfer threads.

I'm making a list
of those that are allowed to post
as it might be quicker.

I’m banned but have no idea why and the Mods won’t explain why. I can’t see the point in having a means of PMing the Mods if they aren’t going to reply.

They haven't got time apparently
to explain to everyone they ban
why they've been banned.
Which tends to suggest
they are banning a lot of people.
and they therefor need
a dedicated Mod ban explainer.

Justice should not only be done..........

Just a heads up that moaning about being banned from the transfer forum usually results in a slap down and some form of mockery from a well known mod.

You’ve obviously broken a rule and if it’s a permanent ban then it’s probably because you’ve posted something derogatory towards an ITK so no point moaning about it as your ban is permanent and you won’t be getting your access back.

I know all this first hand as I am on a permanent ban. Such is life.

Never knowingly mocked or criticised an ITK. If I have been banned for breaking a rule then fair enough but it would be nice to know why and for an assurance it wasn’t a mistake by a mod.

I think the main reason people are getting banned is through giving neg reps.

This is largely done accidentally, if you check ratings given you might find the answer.

Tbf having transfer threads should be treated differently to “ITK” anyway especially our own player threads that gets moved into that section ??‍♂️

Anyway pretty pointless talking about it like you say.

Transfer threads are treated differently to the itk thread. You get away with far more in them.

I mean that “ITK” shouldn’t be taken into those threads and just stay in the itk thread.

That way the ones that don’t care for ”ITK” can still post in the player threads talking about the merits of the player.

We had a great long running thread about players we’d like to sign which now has been locked until after the transfer window.

Anyway things aren’t going to change which imo is a detriment to the site.

Back on topic now ?
