Soccer is around #197 in the U.S., significantly behind curling, cow-tipping, and competitive pie eating.
Rashford is still great on the counter
Cut apart arsenal. Was great a few years ago vs PSG.
But vs low blocks/tight spaces he struggles.
How are you Americans loving the exciting thrill ride that is foot the ball?

Sry, can’t read.
Thought you won…
Compared to Jordan Morris, he is.

Because he’s not really a winger even though managers often play him there because they want a different CF.
Kane also struggles against a low block. So did Shearer etc.

He’s not even particularly good at dribbling.
Maradona > Messi > Iniesta
Not sure where to fit Best in because the game was so different back then but you could make an argument for anywhere.
But can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke? Or a cold rainy night in Qatar?

Welcome to the last 56 years of English international football. It’s pretty funny.
Coaching was fine, we just got a draw against a top 5 team in the world. The play at the end was not what Gregg wanted. Players have to play the game too, Gregg isn’t automatically at fault for not beating everyone 3-0

Also for the last time, Reyna is not fresh or injury free, dear lord. Guy is more in danger of tearing than a dollar store toilet roll.

We are in a win or go home game vs IRAN. I think we all thought they would go DLW so DDW is fine

Seems pretty idiotic to bring on an unfit Reyna at all, or even include him in the squad over Prefok et al. I am well aware of his injury history and fragility. Play him while you can ffs.
Only if we’re counting 20 kids chasing the ball around in a big mob as participation. In terms of serious participation, it’s probably fifth or sixth depending on how you quantify.

It’s kind of jarring seeing the word ‘tie’ used instead of ‘draw’. Is that just an American thing?
