I haven't got much today. It was my first full day back at work and, phew, I'm exhausted! I barely had time to read the football news.
Cristiano Ronaldo was voted Fifa's first best footballer of the year today in the inaugural Best Fifa Football Awards. Claudio Ranieri was voted best coach. Hardly a surprise, both of them.
On Tuesday Fifa will vote on plans to expand the World Cup to 48 teams in 2026. There is also a 40 team option but it is not really being talked about. There seems to be overwhelming support from most of the national football federations. One of Fifa's proposals to go along with the expansion is the merging of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL qualifying, so that Canada and Belize will be competing with Brazil and Argentina. The compromise is that there will be a combined greater number of teams qualifying from the two regions.
I feel like posting my Geoff Thomas story again from yesterday. I liked that one, a feel-good happy ending story.
