Deuce

that’s a riot Please bring it to the World Cup

:lol: love it

Carroll and Sturridge starting up top in a 4-4-2 in the year of our lord 2019 looooooooollll

The latter, I’d imagine. He and Ayoze complemented each other really well. Be interesting to see if Almiron is moved into a more central role behind the striker, which is where he played for Atlanta, and Atsu given the start on the left wing, or Muto doing a straight swap for Ayoze and Almiron left out wide.

That video is fucking embarrassing.

Christ in a basket.

The absolute scenes when he puts one past us at St James' next season

seems a bit aggressive

Piss off

Get in! Press

While disappointing from a footballing perspective (I don’t follow the Chinese Super League, nor do I plan to start), I don’t begrudge any player who maximizes their earning potential. This game is already too heavily-weighted in favor of owners and large corporations profiting off the labor of players who actually make the game possible. The majority of professional footballers will have, at best, finished playing by their mid-30s; I hope they each get theirs and more before their time is up. Same holds for Rafa. He’s so much better than Chinese football, but at least they understand his value and are willing to pay him accordingly. He didn’t fuck us off to move to China; Ashley flipped him the bird and told him to piss off. He’ll be back managing in Europe within the next couple of years and whichever club is wise enough to give him what he deserves will be all the better for it. And we’ll still be the fucking mugs who fucked off Rafa Benitez for no reason at all.

This cunt can get in the fucking sea.

Talk to me about the standard when the women’s game reaches investment levels on par with the men’s game, so that female players can access, year-round, the same quality of training, technical support, nutrition, etc. Not to rag on coaches in the women’s game, many of them are fine students of the game, but imagine if the likes of Rafa, Pep, or Klopp switched over the women’s game. You’re a fool if you don’t think the quality would improve drastically. Having watched quite a few games this summer, the best women’s players in the world are as technically sound as many Premier League players. Which is the beauty of the sport, it’s not predicated on strength and pace alone. The problem is the disparity between the best and worst at this World Cup. Competitively, this is a 10-team tournament at best. Which is a hell of a lot better than it used to be, to be fair. This has been an excellent tournament to all but the snidest of football fans. Feel bad for anyone who can’t enjoy it simply because it’s women playing, especially since that same type probably watches non-league men’s football completely uncritically.

Love it.

Chile three-peat

Steal

Rabiot to Juventus
