I was playing the "who's next to be fired" game and didn't score the points for today's news. My choices were Bilic, Koeman, Klopp and Conte, in that order. Ronald Koeman went today. Bilic is said to have been given more time by West Ham. Liverpool will have a very hard time admitting that they need to get rid of Klopp. It's always such a big emotional ordeal for them. The manager is one of them, and the culture and all that. Conte will go just as soon as Abramovich gets fed up of hearing about unhappy players and Conte starts preaching a little too much for the big boss' liking.
In other news back home (with thanks to my old friend Richard Kory for pointing it out to me) Toronto FC are now the highest point earning team in MLS history after a draw at Atlanta in their final regular season game. The match was played in front of close to 72,000 spectators, an MLS record. TFD's 84th minute equaliser was another piece of magic from the genius, Seba Giovinco. Signore Ventura, are you watching? He could come in pretty handy against those Swedes. Don't say nobody gave you any sound advice when you are watching Zlatan Ibrahimovich at the World Cup on TV next year.
There's another story I cant get into now. Ibra comes back from career threatening injury and retirement to star at the World Cup for Sweden. Because, you know, forget a World Cup without Messi or Neymar, what, in the words of the great modest Swede himself, is a World Cup without Ibra?
