World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Norway is set to become the first country to abandon VAR after 19 of its 32 clubs voted Wednesday to scrap video refereeing in the country's top division.

Following a four-month consultation period involving clubs, players and supporters' groups, clubs from Norway's first and second tier voted on whether to scrap VAR, and the outcome of the vote led to a recommendation that the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) rubber-stamp the result.

The NFF is expected to make a final decision in March, although sources told ESPN that the governing body could yet overrule the vote.

Their rights for highlights are so restricted that nobody in this country sees the highlights for 2 days unless they pay €30 a month so the anger about a missed call would only come on Tuesday and everyone forgets the game by then.

Cosmos Owner and NASL Chair Rocco Commisso admits he used burner account to attack US Soccer and MLS online.

Monday was the ninth day of the jury trial where NASL seeks $170 million in damages from USSF and MLS. (Damages awarded are tripled under antitrust law.) On Monday, the trial’s ninth day, MLS’s outside counsel read out the most incendiary tweets uncovered during discovery. The NASL side had tried to keep them sealed.

“If NASL lawsuit continues, the skeletons will come out of the closet,” Commisso agreed during testimony he tweeted from Global Soccer Fan on December 16, 2017. “USSF has been raped by the Harvey Weinstein of US Soccer – Garber, who with MLS owners and Gulati, have engineered a Madoff-type scam on all of American soccer.”
