@Mishimaesque We spent years debating how well Foden does in rondos while Kane scored 50 a season for his club and most games for England, lol. Get runners around him, ball players with pace at the back for a high line, physical DMs for high turnovers. Not rocket science lol

[Jay Socik @Blades_analytic]

Two huge things of note for me.

1. How fluid, creative & ruthless we were at creating chances/danger in different ways. Never seen an England side be this multi faceted.

2. Tuchel & his staff's intensity at HT & throughout that first 15 mins of 2nd half. He was ON IT.

@danieIscouting Yes. And Pau’s game is built around playing his man marker offside or jumping ahead to intercepting passes ie avoiding duels. Konsa’s game is winning 1v1 races, winning cheap fouls, and deeper blocks/interceptions.

England need Maguire in - baffling exclusion esp w Chalobah

@henrywinter You can tell its’ a few too many peoples’ WC debuts. We’ll be fine. Pickford the only one concerning me really

JUST IN: Boston bars are reportedly running out of beer as Scottish World Cup fans drink the city dry — with one bar saying “We tripled St. Patrick’s Day.”

[John Townley @johntownley11]

#AVFC boss Unai Emery says he'll trust Roberto Olabe's eye for a player this summer, insisting that he is the 'recruitment specialist'.

"My place is on the pitch. Outside of that, whatever Roberto says, I follow him completely," he told @diariovasco.

👋 ¡Bienvenido, Mourinho! 👋

@danbardell Great piece 👍 I’d be surprised if we aren’t in for Stefan Ortega *on a free* to be honest.

This is great. But how many ACLs will be torn from playing on a thin layer of grass over a fancy drainage system as opposed to deep-rooted soil/sand.

[Jim Proudfoot @JimProudfoot]

Pitch here in Orlando has been under constant rain over the last 90 minutes. But has drained remarkably - these two photos taken 40 mins apart.
Next to no standing water now

Arteta would’ve died if Arsenal were playing

@MaxWiIkins Such a weird bloke

[Dom Phillips @_domphillips]

@TheAthleticFC @greggevans40 @JamesHorncastle He’s got Emery written all over him

[Dom Phillips @_domphillips]

@J_Tanswell Any mention of Leo Scienza by any chance?

Didn’t answer the last one. We all know what the number is.

[Dom Phillips @_domphillips]

McGinn and Buendia pick themselves. Next one could be Cash, Torres, or Lindelof. Most disappointing…Elliot, for reasons outside of his control
