Assist and a decent freekick attempt.

IMO we need a RW no matter what Osula is seen as.

Subbed on at 55 minutes against Finland. Edit. Seems to play as RW.

Wouldn't surprise me if Saudi Arabia had an agreement with FIFA to help with the looming CWC if needed when they were given the WC.

Why was Eales a shit hire?

Nah, there's a big difference in scoring 20 with no penalties and 20 with half of them being penalties.

Went to check Palmeiras' team ahead of the Porto match and got excited when I saw an 18 year old RW valued at 60m. Then I noticed Chelsea have already bought him.

Also the time of day, midday game on a scorching hot sun on an open stadium is basically non-existent in Europe.

Strong flashbacks to WC94 which is the first major tournament I can remember from watching this.

It's certainly something that should exist but there's really no room for it in the calendar. Can't blame FIFA for trying as if it had the prestige and tradition it could be a really big event not that far below World Cup or Euros as a summer tournament. The Inter Miami debacle really didn't help either, makes mockery of this being a serious tournament. Will probably watch some games but if it was cancelled tomorrow it would be a real moment.

Not a single sprint though.

Depends a lot on where we sign them from, Isak was that but impossible with players from PL.

Inter played the last league games with basically a second team out there despite being in the hunt for the title. They might have ran out of legs but that wasn't due to lack of rotating as they were using their super deep squad in the league games.

It goes in cycles and all the players were U-21 when the qualifiers started. Surely it makes more sense to do it like this than having to drop off players from a major tournament after their birthdays?

Moving our great RB to LB so we can move our great LB to our great midfield is peak N-O.
