I could understand DR Congo’s loss, they didn’t go out like cowards.. England’s sheer quality just shone through at the end … but what Senegal did yesterday? Was simply unbelievable
People may laugh at Manchester United for this or call them broke, but they’re actually setting a standard in the transfer market by not overpaying.
Now clubs will think twice before trying to bend them over, knowing United won’t pay inflated fees. It’s the same approach Arsenal have adopted in recent years.
Liverpool overpaid for Wirtz and paid for it by overpaying for Isak too, Chelsea have faced a similar predicament.
Splashing huge money on undervalued players always comes with consequences. United are not Manchester city or PSG with Arab money.
United fans may not be happy right now, but trust me, this is the best approach for your club.
Lowkey the scariest part of this tweet is that United stopped themselves from throwing money at someone to win a race to sign them. It means they are finally being run right
Iran have my ultimate respect. They went undefeated against Egypt, Belgium and New Zealand, playing in a country whose government completely despised them and refused to protect their safety.
No team played under more adversity, and they still nearly made it to the Round of 32.
🚨🇨🇻 Cape Verde are a nation with a population of just over 500,00 people... this is their FIRST ever World Cup and they've qualified for the knockouts! ✅
They finished 2nd in Group H:
⚖️ 0-0 draw vs Spain
⚖️ 2-2 draw vs Uruguay
⚖️ 0-0 draw vs Saudi Arabia
INSANE. 🤯👏
not happening this year but in the next decade or 2, if African countries decide to properly invest in infrastructure (on and off the pitch), stop being as corrupt and find a balance between domestic and diaspora talent, it will happen eventually.
The gap is closing
Looking at the Ghana match and the lack of build-up/creative specialists that Tuchel has selected, Ecuador and their quality defensive players would be a nasty banana skin.
