An incredible bit of sports journalism by The Guardian here. A short summary of the playing style of all 48 World Cup nations and a short profile of all 1248 World Cup players. Bookmark and refer to the resources when watching the obscure matches: https://t.co/tdLGq8en0o
@Shrekonomical@1sterPaul@VoxxPersona@Truthyahweh71 Little Becky's true calling | Irish Independent https://t.co/MME6N2PUAB It's a child with a script making prank calls for a radio show from roughly 20 years ago.
@sarhsheg They always have a choice. Most Irish players aren't brave enough to go further abroad than England, they are happy enough to sit on the bench and take a handy wage. Going further afield, getting different experiences and playing regularly is better than being a bench warmer.
Harsh reality is we didn't deserve to win that game, a very poor 2nd half cost us.
Some players need to look at themselves and the decisions they make with their careers, we cannot afford to pick players that aren't playing regularly and aren't fully fit.

@NotSlotaClue Yeah but we cannot allow this man to see his family until he's solved everything wrong with Liverpool in the next 4 days...... God forbid he gets some support from his family or merely clears his head and is refreshed to tackle the issues we face 😮💨
@HendrickD82@JM1720_ His family might not want to take kids out of school, might not want to leave the Netherlands etc, there's a million different reasons, heaven and earth doesn't move because he became the Liverpool manager.
@HendrickD82@JM1720_ He's taking a few days, probably less than a week, with his family. Spend a few days with his family, clear his head, come back motivated and refreshed! The analysts are still working, it's not like everything grinds to a halt when he leaves.
@HendrickD82@JM1720_ That's ridiculously cold. He has young children that he doesn't get to see often and he's getting a few days with them. Not like there's much to work with at Kirkby anyway, anyone not called up for a national team is probably rehabbing.
@TaintlessRed I think they'll look at different markets, they seemed primarily focused on UEFA based teams to circumvent the effects of Brexit, but it's right not to buy until UEFA provide clarity on ownership regs. Might see them invest in the MLS or South America instead.
@CouchNish I think as soon as UEFA provides some clarity on the multi-club ownership model, FSG will be looking at it again. Right now it's hard to justify spending £100m+ on a club and not have the control over it if you have to place it in a blind trust.
@HendrickD82@danlfcynwa_ Arne to Ajax, Spurs to the Championship (they'll probably try for Robbie Keane at that point). Chelsea will let Rosenior run for a year before appointing someone like Southgate etc.
@HendrickD82 The Gordon opportunity did highlight that we were looking at wingers though and the fact that we've not gotten a proper winger is another issue. Hughes will have a lot of work to do this summer with us needing LW, RW, DM, CB, RB & a LB.
