Belgian fans say surprising things about Cong Phuong

Entering the field from the 70th minute in the loss to Club Brugge, Cong Phuong still received praise from fans of Sint-Truidense Club.

Cong Phuong has just made history by becoming the first Vietnamese player to play in the Belgian National Championship. The striker born in 1995 entered the field in the 70th minute, when Sint-Truidense (STVV) were already 4 goals down.

The gap was too big, combined with the fact that the opponent was the current runner-up, making it impossible for Cong Phuong and his teammates to create a miracle. However, 20 minutes on the field was enough for the Nghe An-born player to impress Belgian fans.

"However, the plus point is still the Vietnamese rookie. He played quite well," commented fan Phylicia.

"Some of my Vietnamese friends have claimed that STVV would have scored if Cong Phuong had been on the field," a Belgian fan laughed when looking at the match score.

Sint-Truidense had a completely outclassed match against the reigning runner-up Club Brugge.

MU successfully recruited the most expensive defender in history

Reputable sources in England have confirmed that Man United have completed the signing of centre-back Harry Maguire from Man United. Sky Sports confirmed that the “Red Devils” had to pay 85 million pounds for Maguire, thereby making the 26-year-old the most expensive defender in history.

MU has been pursuing Maguire since the 2019 summer transfer window opened. The 26-year-old midfielder himself is also interested in the opportunity to play for MU because this is the team Maguire has loved since childhood, and at the same time it is a great opportunity for him to improve his career. Before being interested by MU, Maguire had 2 successful seasons with Leicester and was a mainstay in the England team.

The Old Trafford team agreed to pay a record amount because Maguire is a central defender that can be used immediately. In addition, the "Red Devils" will have another homegrown position. By recruiting Maguire, MU can liquidate 1 to 2 central defenders. Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are in the list of possible departures from Old Trafford.

Messi suspended for 3 months for criticizing South American Football Confederation

Lionel Messi has just paid the price for his offensive comments towards Copa America 2019 in particular and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) in general. According to the latest announcement from CONMEBOL, Messi received a 3-month suspension from playing for Argentina and was fined 50,000 USD for his controversial comments.

Messi caused a stir at Copa America when he accused a force behind Brazil winning the Copa America on home soil (Brazil won after a 3-1 victory over Peru in the final). Messi was upset after seeing the referee ignore VAR and deny Argentina two penalties in the semi-final match that Brazil won 2-0.

In addition, the Barcelona superstar also called Copa America a "rotten" tournament.

Suspended for 3 months, Messi will miss 3 friendly matches with Argentina, against Chile (September 5), Mexico (September 10) and Germany (October 10), and will also be absent from the first match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in South America.

The 2019 European Super Cup was refereed by a female referee.

The 2019 UEFA Super Cup is not only notable for being an internal battle between two English teams, but it is also the first time in history that a top match in the European Cup for men's football will be officiated by a female referee. According to UEFA's designation, referee Stephanie Frappart will officiate the Super Cup match between Liverpool and Chelsea on August 14.

Female referee Stephanie Frappart is responsible for the main match and is assisted by two assistants, Manuela Nicolosi and Michelle O'Neal. Frappart also refereed the 2019 Women's World Cup final between the United States and the Netherlands. The 35-year-old referee is the brightest name among the FIFA-class female referees currently in practice and has officiated many major tournaments, but this will be the first time in her career that Frappart will be refereeing a UEFA-level men's football match.

"I have said many times that the potential of women's football is limitless. UEFA has always focused on developing women's football in all areas. I hope Stephanie's (Frappart) skills and dedication will bring inspiration to millions of women across Europe," said Alexandr Ceferin - UEFA President.
