Actually I don't smirk!

I smirk with other things you bring to the table - in a good way! You make me laugh!

I've assumed you smirk when joyfully telling me I have little knowledge of UEFA club football. You are correct, I don't, apart from Serie A and Scotland. If I could get if for free without a VPN ( many have probs), I would.

I 've also missed your recent outstanding detailed recounts of salient issues in the G and G Podcasts. My back is too bad for sustained ironing ATM! Was that a temporary LFC Podcast zenith for quality recounts?

Glad I bring a smile rephrased instead of smirk.
Your lacking or more so refusing to pay to view the bigger picture of the game keeps you behind the 8 ball and it’s evident in your appraisals of the game on some topics.
I’m led to believe you get cheap VPN to cover all leagues been addressed in here by Sutho and TSF actually fyi.

I’ll look into some Pod input post Cup for there has been so much said to date not easy keeping up and I’ve been OS for 2wks.
Good you having a break from ironing it is a unhealthy task glad I never do it

You've definitely made me aware I'm behind the game because I don't pay for UEFA corporate club football. I know I am out of the UEFA loop.

Hence, the WC is more interesting for catching up on the many good teams/players I don't see. I'm far more interested in international teams than club teams.

One of the absolute strengths of the G and G Podcast, is the greater knowledge I've acquired from so many eminent guests/speakers. I know a bit about performance, but these Pods have been great for me acquiring new knowledge in many other aspects of football. I was barely aware of Podcasts before G and G started them. Im surprised I haven't seen more posters express the same?

On the G and G Podcasts we have had some really big names in world football, but most posters don't seem to realise? Tom Byers, and Stefan S, who co-writes with Simon Kuper, are huge names globally in football.

One of the problems with VPNs, is that I know people who've had them, and then can't subscribe to their Aus based streaming services because of the VPN.

In response to the plethora of Eurosnobs in Aus, I am an Aussiesnob or Asiasnob!

Well the majority of Club players in EU/Big 5 leagues make up great portion % of the NT teams you view for free SBS ......
R32 50%
R16 56%
Qrtrs 79%
SF 91%
F 88%
So that answers your Club/NT perspective.
I posted in the General WC thread a very good overall Reuters WC breakdown link, you'll salivate over the stats Professor.

I suppose many posters are shy to comment, shrug shoulders.

tech challenge at ol age is understandable - hence why I pay with no issue whatsoever whereas you miss out.

I question why people have the need to "label" - what does it matter, cover everything your more informed the way I see it.
