It’s that ggg has the smartest guy in the room syndrome.
What’s incredible about this generation of England is how well the pieces fit together. It’s not like when you had Lampard and Gerrard running in the same spaces. Even Slabhead Harry has looked good this tournament. Rice was hugely disappointing yesterday from what I could see.
As long as you express the same fervor about MAGA caps and “let’s go Brandon” chants at sporting events, I’m in agreement. Generally it only tends to work one way, though.Funny article. Remember when sports used to only be about the game played and none of this other woke, political nonsense? All sports need to get back to that, cause u are embarrassing yourself similar to the US Woman’s soccer team
Sports is where we all go to get away from politics and woke boo shizzle. Yet now we all get to wonder what is going to happen before or after the national anthem(s) or what type of garbo messages will be painted on the court/field. Get that **** outta dodge and let’s play ball!
Entire England Soccer Team Kneels Before Kickoff, But Look at What Team USA Did
In what may very well be a race to the bottom (or to wokeness, take your pick), two traditional Westernijr.com
I don’t follow US soccer closely but definitely impressed by Musah. Weah (not sure of spelling, but the lone goal scorer) also looked really good … although I knew of him. Hoping Reyna plays more … but is he hurt? Otherwise, I don’t get why he’s only played like 8-10 minutes total in 2 games
I don’t even get the let’s go Brandon at games… but maybe it’s in retaliation to all the woke garbo going on lately.
Musah actually came up through the England youth team and ****nal academy and has been getting major minutes at Valencia in La Liga since he was 17. He was a major coup for the USMNT, and as an ****nal fan I’d love to have him back as cover for Xhaka.
It’s incredible how he approaches things given their midfield and attackers. If Maguire is that big of a concern, then drop him and play Ben White or play White at fullback like he has for ****nal and get extra cover.
Glad the are some experts (well compared to me!). Yeah Ream… he was amazing in the Wales game and may have saved at least 1 goal based on how poor the US has been in previous years
We actually have a really good one right now coaching in the EPL at Leeds. I think he could be the guy down the line but still seems be thriving in that grind of being a club manager. But the qualities of a national team vs club manager are kind of different, and so are the philosophies. The national team doesn’t really get much time together, especially the US with our guys all over the world. This is why countries like Germany and Spain have had such an advantage. Their top players tend to be concentrated at a couple of clubs, so there’s some working chemistry by the time they get to the tournament.
Good post and points!
He said his preference was to use Grealish and Mount instead of Foden in order to gain “control”. He wasn’t looking to attack. If he was, Foden would have played.
I mean he would know better than me, but I wouldn't say Grealish and Mount are negative players. You're also overlooking that Southgate kept the same starting XI from the Iran match when they put in 6. That's why I mentioned the subs more than starters. What I will say is Grealish has not looked nearly as good since moving to Man City, so for that reason alone I would say Foden over him.
The US definitely missed some opportunities to give themselves cushions... but they got the result they wanted. The ending was nail biting, especially the potential for a penalty kick... but it was the correct call.
