AL Hilal showed the future, whether people want to see it or not

MY THOUGHTS hhahaha:)well, all I want is for everyone to comprehend that the future is very bright for the beautiful game, and that brightness stems from it not being centered in uefa but by it having a growing AFC through various fa's in it, by having a rejuvenated conmebol through brasil's flowering, by the growth even in the usa making concacaf stronger, with CAf teams like Mamelodi + pyramids spending more money than ever before…. and with the growth of womens soccer in all of these places making the game have true fandom across genders. For me, the goal of fifa is to expand the sport, the genius of what the french led was it wasn't about france or uefa really, it was about making an organization to grow the sport to make it have various zones of excellence that can change with the ebb and tides of humanities various zones of peace or war which are both inevitable. One day, maybe china will be the top superpower, maybe one day, brazil will be where china is now. Maybe one day famines will hit north america holistically, who knows, but fifa's model is the only one flexible enough to handle all of that. because each country has an fa, each geographic zone has a confederation and wherever some place turns to rubble another place glistens. I embrace the beauty of that which no other sport can claim. MATCH REVIEW AL HILAL vs REAL MADRID 06/18/2025 Al Hilal have had more opportunities than Real Madrid and arguably need better finishing. I argue, Osimhen in some of those situations is a goal. A l hilal equalized with a penalty. they had opportunities without the ball. Pundits are saying Al hilal is unexpectedly, n control,… the question is do pundits watch saudi soccer, i have caught some games, the big teams are no joke, this is why al nassr has problems. HALFTIME regardless of what people think of saudi arabia or al hilal, they showed they are a holistic good product. administration/coach/players. I do think they need osimhen's goals, with that goal power they can win anything. they had two attempts unchallenged, one with the marker for trent, that you have to put on target at least. and al hilal hasn't given up on their three. After the club world cup they will go again. I do think osimhen + bruno in this team from a goals perspective can do a lot That was a bullshit call and we all know, milinkovic savic was hacked in this match counless times and the ref called nothing the first time i experienced the 8 second goalkeeper rule, poor Bono ! corner but handled AL HILAL! if anything prove they need the goalscorers of Osimhen + Bruno Fernandes, Al Hilal had the most attempts early, got to score those man Good game, both coaches are saved a loss, but Al Hilal, if they can get Osimhen+ Bruno Fernandez…

Don't get it twisted my friends, all clubs love the Quadrennial Club World Cup

MY THOUGHTS Look at the money in this tournament, results based. ARTICLE Mamelodi Sundowns’ Club World Cup prize money passes R200 million mark Story by Garrin Lambley Mamelodi Sundowns’ confirmed prize money banked at this year’s FIFA Club World Cup has passed the R200 million mark – after just ONE match played! FIFA has revamped the tournament, increased the tournament to 32 teams – and coughed up $1 billion to be split between the sides competing. By securing their places, Al Ahly of Egypt, Esperance of Tunisia, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa and Wydad Casablanca of Morocco are each guaranteed $9.55 million (R171 million) in appearance fees – before a ball is kicked. But that’s not all! Every win in the group phase will be worth $2 million (R35.8 million) and a draw $1 million (R17.9 million) so there’ll be incentive to play – and win – no matter whether it’s a ‘dead rubber’ or not. Mamelodi Sundowns have been drawn in Group F alongside German team Borussia Dortmund, Brazil outfit Fluminense and South Korean side Ulsan HD. Masandawana got their group stage campaign off to the perfect start on Tuesday, beating Uslan HD 1-0 thanks to a goal by Iqraam Rayners. That means at this stage Mamelodi Sundowns have banked $9.55 million (R171 million) in appearance fees and $2 million (R35.8 million) for their opening match win, giving them a total of R206.8 million. More money to come? A top-two finish and qualification for the knockout phase will be worth an extra $7.5 million (R134 million) to those 16 teams. Should Mamelodi Sundowns finish top of Group F, they will face the runner-up in Group E. Group E comprises River Plate from Argentina, Italy’s Inter Milan, Monterrey from Mexico and Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds. If Mamelodi Sundowns finish second in Group F, they will face the winner of Group E. Should Masandawana successfully navigate their way into the quarter-finals, that will be worth another $13.125 million (R235 million). A spot in the semi-finals would be worth an additional $21 million (R376 million). The tournament’s runner-up will receive $30 million (R537 million) while the overall winner will walk way $40 million (R716.5 million) richer. … That is PROPER money and will ensure Mamelodi Sundowns get richer and the gap between the Tshwane giants and the rest of the PSL teams just widens even further. It’s also sure to leave Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates green with envy. The next FIFA Club World Cup is due to be held in 2029.

Three players, gambling you can force a club to do what you want?

ok, it seems al hilal wanted Victor Osimhen/ Theo Hernandez/ Bruno Fernandez and while I don't know if Napoli/AC Milan/MUFC all accepted the bids , something tells me each of those clubs accepted the bids but all three players said no. Now all three of these players got the biggest bid for their talents this summer from al hilal. and the club they are going to has Ruben Neves who just won the nations league/ Koulibaly who is still one of the finest readers of attack in the world/ salem dasawari who is saudi and can play, you add osimhen/hernandez/fernandez and I think with mitrovic +milikovic savij and company, I think al hilal can roll with anybody. And with inzaghi as coach they will play to win, not impress, but to win.

But the players said no. But here is the financial issue. MUFC/AC Milan/Napoli all want Al hilal money!! and while these three players may want less to play in uefa, the clubs they are transferring from don't want less. I am 100% certain MUFC want as much as possible for any player that leaves this summer. So who in UEFA can pay the 75 million Napoli want, the al hilal fee MUFC wanted, or the money ac milan who are not in uefa next season want.

Atletico Madrid don't have the money AC Milan want for theo hernandez so I don't comprehend what the player is going for. I don't know what team Osimhen is trying to get to cause Galatasaray don't have the 75 million napoli want. and MUFC definitely don't want a lean deal in UEFA for Bruno .

IN AMENDMENT I Get it! now Hernandez contract is up June 2026. I get it! Osimhen contract is up June 2026 I get it! Ok, Hernandez and Osimhen both now Napoli + AC Milan want money, all of Serie A [exclude juve turino ]are selling teams, mature selling the teams. Not young ones like in Ligue1. The idea is, a player who is having a hard time comes in, resettles their career leaves for biggest bidder, ala Saudi arabia. But, Osimehn + Hernandez know they are on their last season. So while last season Osimhen was ready for AL ahli that Napoli scuttled, this season, he will stay in UEFA forcing Napoli to have a similar loan deal to a club like last season with Galatasaray and he leaves for free next summer or force Napoli to accept less and he leaves to some destination in UEFA. I even argue Osimhen may be more inspired to force Napoli not to get the most money based on their actions last summer. It seems Osimhen is willing to go to a club absent confederation play, a Nigerian is dreaming of England which is hilarious historically. Hernandez is similar. Simeone loves bringing players back, he loves that. He has set up a heritage of that in Atletico madrid but atleti don't have the money ac milan who isn't in UEFA at all next season want so… Bruno Fernandez contract ends in 2027 summer, now maybe with amorim Bruno a fellow Portuguese wants a season to see, but MUFC need money, he is a big money piece. alot of other pieces don't offer MUFC money so.. I get it, these three players Osimhen with the biggest value, Hernandez who has won everything needed in UEFA, Bruno who is the most valuable player in a cash strapped club, all rejected the biggest salary they will get offered in a club that is ambitious. Al Hilal is in the quadrennial club world cup cause they earned it , like all the others. But, ok. It will be interesting what happens to Hernandez/Bruno/Osimhen. Each player assumes they will have some sort of desired destination, but Napoli/AC Milan / MUFC are pissed I bet and that can lead to moves to places the players may not like or a benching their final season.

I think I see replacement players Serhou Guirassy has a 70 million dollar release clause, plays for Guinea, go AL Hilal! he s 29 but give him the same deal of 850,000 a week and i think he is gone. The short term loan deal for the club world cup for Ngolo Kante is interesting. The team who wins the club world cup get 125 million or something so it is worth the gamble. I wanted Ait Nouri but MCFC got him :) but I think Ferland Mendy is a good shout, no he can't play in the club world cup but he is a winner and will get healthy.

from the tweet linked below Theo Hernández, in discussions with Atlético Madrid after turning down Al Hilal bid on Sunday. Talks ongoing with his camp but no proposal at AC Milan expectations level yet. Milan had deal done with Al Hilal for €35m and insist on important fee. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1932420633700581662
