Ask those same 10 people their thoughts about Nick Daicos or James Hird and they could go on for hours.

Croatia has a new manager and if Segecic keeps playing at this level he will get selected because they have no wingers outside Marco Pasalic. This might happen as soon as the Nations League in September.

Tuchel is going to cop a lot of criticism but he isn't really the problem. They declined physically, you could see how heavy their legs were on TV and you can see it in the stats. Playing in Mexico City and then backing up with 120 minutes in Miami was always going to be hard to overcome...

FIFA earned $15 billion of revenue from the World Cup and Infantino still wears white sneakers with a suit.

The fact Yamal, N. Williams, Pino etc were either not in form or injured and they still won shows how great their midfield really is. You could argue it's better to have a great midfield than a great attack. Nobody has more attacking talent than France or Argentina and they basically did nothing...

The 21st Century in football really is a story of Spanish excellence. * Created and popularised 4-2-3-1 that really took off in the 2000s. * Most major NT titles (2 World Cups and 3 Euros) * Most Champions Leagues won (11 with Real Madrid & Barcelona). Ditto with the coaches (Benitez, Del...

Congrats @rebelliousfeminist974 🥇

Fabian Ruiz - 50 caps and 0 defeats. He's won 2 Champions Leagues, Euro 2024 (should have won player of the tournament) & now the 2026 World Cup. The most underappreciated player of his generation.

Monoculturalists in shambles this morning.

That's exactly how they went out in 2018 and 2022. I think they were better in Euro 2024 because they had Morata, a fit Nico Williams and Yamal was in better form. Borja Iglesias is the traditional nine replacement for Morata but he's never scored an international goal so you can't really rely...

These Preston Boys need more creativity. Those signs wouldn't have been funny even in high school.

Marconi 0:1 Sydney United. Marconi had a few half chances but didn't look like they would score. Title race is back on.

The pitch at Marconi looks worse than some public fields.

SBS bid $30 million for the WC rights and I would assume they generated a decent ROI on that given the ratings etc. I think they definitely could have done more. I would have liked to see more variety in the guests, way too many former players and not enough coaches. They could have also brought...

I streamed several games on SBS like this. HT and FT interviews in a language other than English and no translation. Not exactly great television. How much would it cost to bring in a crew for a couple of hours to analyse these games?

Craziest stat from this game is that England completed 2 passes from the 66th minute to the 85th minute. They completely abandoned the ball and couldn't get out from defending deep. Their legs looked cooked as well given how slow they were in closing down the Argentine attackers. Way too much...

It's time to bring back Raul Blanco.
