FIFPRO MEN'S WORLD XI 2019
FIFPro have released the 55-player shortlist of the individuals nominated for the 2019 FIFA FIFPro Men’s World 11, with the Premier League perhaps unsurprisingly a dominant force after four English clubs reached both major European finals last season.
There are 21 Premier League-based players on the list of nominees, which is one more than players from La Liga. That represents a major shift as La Liga has been the most commonly featured national league in each of the previous nine years.

That being said, Real Madrid and Barcelona both have more players than Liverpool and Manchester City, whose seven nominations are the most for a Premier League club. However, there is a wider base in England that also includes Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham.

This is the first time in the World 11 award’s 15-year history that Gianluigi Buffon has not appeared on the shortlist. It is also the first time Andres Iniesta has missed out since 2007.
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min is the first Asian player to be named on a World 11 shortlist, while in total there are 17 players for whom 2019 is the first time. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson is the first-ever Scottish player included.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said.
