Klopp: Pakistani footballs

Day -130 WorldCup2018

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, does not only coach one of the most entertaining teams in the world right now. He is also one of the most entertaining managers around, especially in post match interviews when he doesn't agree with a referee's decision. Mind you, there were many viewers all over the world today who thought the referee had been hoodwinked by Spurs' Erik Lamela into awarding a 94th minute penalty. This came only minutes after Klopp had celebrated manically when Mo Salah scored what he thought was the 91st minute winner for Liverpool. Klopp, Mourinho, Pep, Conte. There really is no better place for manager-watching than England.

It's too bad Conte may very well be off come the end of this season. Today he asked for the powers that be at Chelsea to give him public vote of confidence. "Appreciate me, or I'm off." To Real Madrid or back to coaching the Italian national team? Bets, anybody?

The footballs that are going to be used at this year's World Cup are being made in Pakistan, by Forward Sports on the outskirts of the city of Sialkot. The company is a company contracted to making balls for Adidas. Pakistan is quite the hotbed of football production. Ten million footballs will be exported from the country this year.
