Real are gonna be real dicks about buying Odegaard aren’t they... Chambers was solid, didn’t see that coming
Is Auba just really immature? Starting to make sense why as a guy in his late 20s he spent most his later Dortmund time hanging out with teenage Pulisic
I really hope that Arsenal pay ESR not to go to U21 Euros. His level is more than clear and it's well above that, only bad things can happen there. Also looks like Saka is getting the rest during this international, didn't travel.
Would love to see some statistical analysis for mental fatigue in the players. No clue how in the world you’d do it, maybe errors per min?
I did enjoy that. Ludogorets was probably my favorite goal he was part of. Also very much enjoyed his shot into the ground. He was pretty fucking incredible for a few years
Been slightly disappointing campaign for the women but always great to see them take Spurs to the woodshed
It really is pretty insane as an American sports fan. Imagine telling NFL fans that a bunch of times a season there would be All Star games and your team's players may get hurt and miss time with your team.
There's probably something in there about the rest of the world embracing the greater good (international teams) over the select few (their teams) compared to most Americans.
Part that blows my mind the most is the fucking U-21. He’s had MOTM performances in the Prem and against so decent squads as well as Spurs and Chelsea. You throw him out there to get kicked around by fucking Switzerland and Portugal? Just dumb, but that’s the FA in a nut shell.
Hooray for the NCAA. Love the topic and think it would be a fascinating book or case study. See New Zealand for rugby, Dominican for baseball or even Iceland for the last World Cup. Not the place or the thread but leads to some interesting discussion and ultimately why the USMNT will always suck.
