@stevemagness playing not to lose vs. playing to win. Argentina always plays to win and they believe they will. they never wilt. england had the players to win it and got let down by a manager's mindset and also, a poor team selection.

@hotspurreports so long as he starts to reward udogie when he makes the overlapping runs. he can be selfish, but if hhe starts to partner with his left back, then yes.
Count me as part of the Dom Solanke fan club. Break out year for him. He sacrificed so much year one and paid for it year two. He’s got 12-15 in him this season.
HARRY KANE WILL REJOIN IN 2027
In the summer of 2027 Harry Kane will leave Bayern and join Spurs where he will see out his playing career
The club is finally backing his ambition on and off the pitch
All Spurs have to do is guarantee champions league football for next season
Then our greatest ever player will return with two things in mind
1) Become the all time top scorer in Premier League history
2) Win the Premier League or Champions League with Spurs
Both will be a reality before 2030
Harry Kane in 2018: “My dream wasn’t to play in the Premier League. My dream was to play in the Premier League for Spurs.
So I told [André Villas-Boas], quite honestly, “I don’t want to go [on leave].”
As the words were coming out of my mouth, I thought, Oh, wow — maybe that wasn’t.…
He just kind of looked at me, a bit confused.
And then I just came straight out with it. I said, “I’m gonna prove to you that I should be starting on this team. And you can tell me every Friday before the game that I don’t deserve that, and that I’m not going to play. And that’s fine. But I don’t want to go.”
And that was that. He let me stay on and train with the first team — and it really ended up being the turning point in my confidence. I had always felt like I had the ability, but I kind of had to stand up for myself. It was like I could see my childhood dream, and it was right there in front of me … but it was just out of reach. I was waiting for somebody to hand it to me. But life never hands it to you, does it?
You’ve gotta grab it.
I was on fire in training, but I still couldn’t get a game. Then the manager was let go in the winter and Tim Sherwood took charge — and he gave me my chance. The rest, as people might say, is history. I scored three goals in my first three starts, and that was an incredible feeling, especially the first time scoring at White Hart Lane. But honestly, all the things I went through before I scored Goal Number 1 … that’s what made me who I am….
For me, the rejection is the best thing that ever happened to me. When I was lacing my up boots for my first start in the North London derby back in 2015, I had a flashback to when I was 11, playing against Arsenal’s youth team. It was like déjà vu. Before every match, I always visualize scenarios in my head of exactly how I’ll score in the match. Left-foot curler into the bottom corner. Right-foot volley from the right corner of the box. I’ve always been that way. I get really detailed about it — I’ll picture my opponents and the cut of the grass and everything.
This time, I was picturing the defenders wearing the red Arsenal kit, and I got goosebumps.
We were in the tunnel, and I thought, “O.K. Took me 12 years. But we’ll see who was right and who was wrong.”
I scored two that day, and the winner in the 86th minute was something that I’d never even dream of visualizing before a match. It was a header — probably the best header I’ve ever scored — and that feeling when it hit the back of the net … I’ve never felt a rush like that in my whole career.
I remember walking round the pitch after the final whistle … and clapping to the fans … and it felt like, Well — I told you so.” https://t.co/AIJvVbtojF

Happy 4th of July and 250th birthday to the United States of America from Scotland.
Over half of the Declaration of Independence signers had Scottish roots,and the Scottish Enlightenment inspired America's emphasis on individual liberty and representative government.
