17 - Most shots on record (since 1966) at a single edition of the FIFA World Cup without creating a single chance for a teammate:
Cristiano Ronaldo, 17 (2026)
Alberto Garcia Aspe, 15 (1998)
Jerzy Gorgon, 13 (1974)
Katlego Mphela, 13 (2010)
Denis Cheryshev, 13 (2018)
Ego.
Just a reminder that shortly after being appointed president in 2017 that Infantino was instrumental in a major FIFA overhaul that ousted the two independent co-chairmen of the Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert. At the time, the committee was actively investigating… Infantino
Tonali is a poor man's Gallagher/Bentancur. Won't lace Matar Sarr's shoes. He's a Paulinho who doesn't score.
He's the posterboy of a Newcastle side who spent 3 years rotting in 13rd place
If that's 100 million to you, then you're complicit of it
Left unchecked, the PL is about 2yrs away from being the de facto Super League so many of their clubs have craved. Buying from each other at prices so inflated they might as well mean nothing, picking off whomsoever they please from outside, pulling the ladder up behind them.
The manager you adored saw fit to fuck off to a rival when it suited him and manufactured events to allow it to happen, let's see if you abuse him in the same way you abused home-grown academy products who wanted to stay a lot more by comparison.
⏱️ @Carra23's half-time verdict:
'When Bellingham and Rice play between the lines against a defence set-up like this, you either need a bit of magic from them outside the box, or the wingers to deliver far more than they are currently doing.
'That’s England’s problem here. The longer this goes on, the more we must look to the bench and ask who can come on and make a difference?
'Rice and Bellingham are all about power and energy; they aren’t magicians in the spaces between the lines.
'If this continues, the debate will start regarding Cole Palmer’s absence. We’ve seen so many games like this in major tournaments.
'Those who championed Palmer’s inclusion foresaw tactical conundrums like this – which is why some of us thought it better to have him as an option.'
🚨Chelsea are set to sign Atalanta defender Marco Palestra for a fee around £43m. The move is a hijack of Inter’s offer and green-lit by Xabi Alonso. Feeling is that he can play in both wing back and full back positions. Fits within the wage structure.
This is cool. Kairat fans held a big banner for Chelsea-bound Dastan Satpayev at their sold-out game today which read “Europe get ready – the Kazakh warrior is on the way” while singing the 17yo’s name. Video from Kairat’s Instagram 🇰🇿
