Can anyone explain the Neymar sale tax fraud situation ?

 

It's not completely clear yet, but Barcelona (and other teams) have to pay an x percent of tax over the total cost of a transfer. By them not listing all payments and hiding certain payments as unrelated transfer fees, they evaded a tax bill of several million. Neymar turns out to be the most expensive transfer in soccer, trumping even Gareth Bale's 100+ million euro move from Tottenham to Real Madrid.

 

Basically, FC Barcelona, Neymar's old team and Neymar and his family all benefited greatly by making the transfer appear a lot cheaper than it was.

That's still a foul and a booking.

Rooney has no chance to stop, so him jumping over Schweinsteiger is preventing him from getting hit.

Even the attempt can be prosecuted ;)

 

Of course the fall is quite theatrical, but well that's the standard nowadays.

Fortuna went a huge run and are suddenly in the hunt for the promotion playoffs with a few games left to play. They seemed completely out and far behind just a few weeks ago and now they are in 9th, which usually is enough for a spot and one or two spots higher is a guaranteed in.

YEEEEESSS!!!

 

Against all odds Fortuna Sittard has qualified for the promotion playoffs to fight for a spot in the Eredivisie. They are a long shot to even get out of the first round, let alone win in all three, but it's great that they made it.
