Soccer Daily for 14 September follows 4 world cup stories and fan reactions, moving through ronaldo stadium bans, haaland var apology, ausilio spurs move, australia 2050 bid. 1. Ronaldo Stadium Bans Cristiano Ronaldo has called for lifetime stadium bans after Ruben Neves was reportedly targeted with chants about his late friend and former teammate Diogo Jota during a Saudi Pro League match. According to The Athletic, Ronaldo said the league must punish behavior that has crossed the line from football banter into something unacceptable. Source link Discussion thread 2. Haaland VAR Apology The Premier League refereeing body has admitted that the VAR process behind Erling Haaland’s goal against Manchester United was an error of judgement. According to Sky Sports, the on-field offside decision was overturned after VAR judged that Enzo Fernández had not played the ball, but the review failed to account for Fernández’s position and influence on the play. Source link Discussion thread 3. Ausilio Spurs Move Tottenham are reportedly close to bringing former Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio back to the Premier League in a recruitment role. The Gazzetta report says Ausilio could arrive in January and work with Roberto De Zerbi, although the comments immediately questioned whether that managerial partnership will still exist by then.

Australia 2050 Bid Australia is being urged to consider a bid for the 2050 FIFA World Cup, reopening a hosting conversation that has been quiet since the country’s unsuccessful 2022 campaign.
