Full on club cricket vibes for this England side, 2 lads can't play cos theyve been on the piss, 1 lad is knackered after bowling too much in the game before, and 1 lad cos his missus gave birth. Back to their Roots...
- Ad breaks disguised as hydration breaks.
- Players waiting for music to stop to restart match.
- Atrocious/suspicious officiating.
- Visa’s preventing fans entry into the US.
- Overpriced tickets/travel.
- Not allowing interviews in Spanish.
An embarrassment of a World Cup.
When a ref’s standing waiting for a TV producer to tell him when he's allowed to restart a game, you've stopped running a football tournament & started running an ad break with football in between.
Sad thing is, the Premier League is watching & learning🤦♂️
🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊
"Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices.
These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors.
When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving?
The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers?
A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown.
It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show."
He didn't hold back. 👏👏
Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain are unbelievable cricket summarisers.
The analysis from cricket experts is far and away better than any of our other sports in this country, especially football…
The difference between sports coverage by Sky Sports is so stark. For Football it is the most rage baiting, triggering nonsense.
For Cricket it is the best coverage anywhere and I would argue it is the best sports coverage in all the sports we show in the UK.
• Speaking about emotions.
• Speaking about intensity, aggression and identity.
• Speaking about how the World Cup will allow him to get to know the young players.
• Speaking about how he wants to be one of us
And this is only the first interview. We’re so, so back.
Can’t believe Konate said “he didn’t know if he would be staying” in his statement the other day.
He’s been in negotiations with Madrid since last year, he just wanted to avoid the backlash and reception that Trent got.
He’s planned this for ages. Yet another rat.
So for 2 years they persisted with Bashir with one series in mind. That series arrived and they said actually nah you’re alright pal, carry the drinks for 7 weeks. The very next test match he’s back in the XI. WHAT
First half had 7 minutes and second half had 6 minutes stoppage time.
Extra time had 2 minutes stoppage time total.
So the game lasted a total of 135 minutes.
Havertz scored on 6 minutes.
Arsenal didn't manage a shot on target in 129 minutes.
But we're supposed to admire their performance.
Lol.
Liverpool refused to pay £20m for Guehi in January, then let Konaté leave in the summer. Now they'll probably spend £60-70m on a new CB anyway. For that money, we could've had both Guehi and Konaté at the club. That's not smart squad planning...
Vitinha completed 141 passes tonight.
Neves completed 77.
Ruiz completed 68.
Declan Rice completed 31.
Lewis-Skelly completed 12.
Odegaard completed 6.
One team came to play football. One came to spoil the game.
No red cards. No penalties conceded all Premier League season. Now two blatant handballs ignored in a Champions League final.
I'm not saying it's match-fixing but at what point are we allowed to ask why Arsenal seem to get every big decision going their way?
