🇪🇸 Another Spanish player on the move during the World Cup!
Alejandro Grimaldo is joining Atlético Madrid from Bayer Leverkusen. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente stays relaxed — the players are professionals and it won’t affect the national team.
🚨🔵 Marco Palestra will sign a deal valid until June 2032 at Chelsea, initial six year contract.
Palestra said yes to #CFC project last night, ready to work under Xabi Alonso.
Kane missed a sitter
Ghana could have had a penalty
Pickford could have been sent off
Guess what English fans are on about?
Declan Rice and the Arsenal players lol.
How can you be so deep in agenda and hate that you can’t even watch any football objectively?
I’ve been so distracted with the World Cup I’ve barely been keeping up with transfer sagas.
Was there talk of Palestra joining Chelsea for weeks? Because I thought he was a dead certain Inter signing to replace Dumfries.
I’m not really too concerned about tonight, more Saka—Rashford minutes and we win that by multiple easily. But still concerned about the amount of creators around the block if it’s not runners paired with a direct passer. Onto the next.
Carlos Queiroz rolling back the years with a 4-5-1 out of hell.
Employed that idea many times in Europe with Sir Alex.
Gave Semenyo an extra license to get the team up the pitch in transition.
England shot themselves in the foot but you have to credit Ghana for the surprise.
🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “Facing Leo Messi at the World Cup? The question doesn’t make a lot of sense… but ok. It would be TOP”.
“But my focus was on today. We won, I have been able to score, we keep going together. I am happy”.
England - Ghana thoughts so far.
- England are wary of the counter-attack and keeping possession without too much 'risk'. England is also excellent on the counter-press and can accommodate more risk. The counter-press may be the best route to goal.
- Longer switches of play need to be met with an increase in tempo. The Ghana full-backs have matched the wingers so far.
- Bellingham is getting frustrated with his fixed position. Trust it!
- Saka will make a difference.
