I like Trevor Chalobah, but surely that replacement had to be Lewis Hall or Miles Lewis-Skelly?
Like what possible role did Livramento have Chalobah now covers you for? What existing weakness in the squad does he now address?
FIFA need to show some logic and end these stupid hydration breaks in games that don’t require it. Football is a unique sport. It’s relies heavily on momentum, players finding their rhythm. These breaks are killing games.
Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.
Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.
Wow. That’s unexpected. One of Ipswich’s best recent managers. Last season was a huge struggle and clearly was a tough one for McKenna. Glad that we are clauses in place to financially protect us if he were to take another job, such as the Fulham role which it has been linked to.
🚨 BREAKING: Kieran McKenna to step down as Ipswich Town head coach. 40yo Northern Irishman decision to take time away from management + #ITFC protected financially if/when makes return. Contingency planning already started & now accelerates @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/PYpDyIlpPM
All very odd. If Jofra Archer is on a central ECB contract, he should be available to play in all England matches. I don’t get why this is being so defended by Stokes and the rest of the set up.
NEW: FIFA gets go ahead for crackdown on players wrestling at set-plays at World Cup - with England tactics singled out.
Now goals can be ruled out for fouls by attackers even before kick is taken. https://t.co/1TDBxKfcJF
@sidlowe@HOMESofFOOTBALL Been reading World Soccer tournament specials for nearly 20 years. It’s always a great, insightful read and a pre tournament must / ritual for me. Brilliant work by you and all of the contributors.
30-year-old Luke Shaw has started all 38 matches of a Premier League season for the first time in his career. Brilliant to see after having such a difficult time with injuries 👏
