@MikeJ202505 There will be many, many americans who know more about football than you. Many indians, many chinese, many others from non-traditional football nations. Simply being born in a traditional football nation doesn't give you inherited knowledge superiority

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@MikeJ202505 That's not the point. You're automatically trying disqualify someone from having an opinion based on where they're from. That might be your personal experience with Americans, but that doesn't mean all 350 million americans are clueless about English football does it?

@YankeeGunner @MikeJ202505 @ArsenalVPodcast They're very likely a bot account but still

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@MikeJ202505 @ArsenalVPodcast @YankeeGunner lmao shut up man. I'm English and English people regularly have some of the worst football takes you'll ever see on this app.

Where you're born has no impact on how well you can understand football providing you're equally invested in the sport as someone in a different country

@Tactx_ Again though I think that's an indictment on Tuchel's selection choices. England don't have a Vitinha or Pedri but there are players (Curtis Jones for one) who have been left at home who could've closed the gap if needed.

@plantainpariah No, he took John stones to the march camp for a pair of friendlies when he wasn't fully fit. Why didn't he do the same for Bellingham?

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@NeilLfc_5 and so what if he is?

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@MitchHalley @KrisSmith98 Lmao. He carries the midfield, not the other way round. He won both the club's player of the year award and the players' player of the year award this season.

It's funny you think everyone else is basing their opinion of him on one season when in fact it's you doing that.

@plantainpariah Yet John Stones is named in the March squad despite playing only 180 minutes after coming back from two months out with a thigh injury?

He wanted to leave Jude out. He could've called him up & managed his minutes with England if that's how he felt. He wanted to send a message

@plantainpariah I meant the October squad. He was left out when the squad was announced (3rd October) and he played for Real Madrid on the 4th October

@rahul_madh Spain and France can't meet in the final unless one of the two finishes 2nd in their group. They'll be in the same KO bracket if they both finish top

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@utdrobbo @Tactx_ Yep, that's Tuchel's system. Henderson as the only backup 6 to Anderson is equally worrying.

[Gary the cat thief @finchy_mc]

@utdrobbo @Tactx_ It's pretty clear from both Tuchel's comments and the way he's used the squad that Mainoo is Rice's back up and Henderson is Anderson's. Terrible squad building tbh.

@Fattes13 @GasFeez @Mokhwibitxwane @kylesheldon @ErlingHaaland I agree the British Empire shouldn't be celebrated but there is a clear double standard here. The Norse raiders were horrible and utterly brutal. It's not much different to England players dressing up as crusaders

@SwitchNigeriaNG @ZackPolanski @mehdirhasan If "connections to their native countries" means actively fighting for military organisations committing war crimes then yes, let's do that.

@etincelIefierte A) people said UK heat is worse, not summers in general. It's not hot every day in the UK in summer, but when it is it's unbearable because it's inescapable.

B) football season finishes in May in the UK. English players aren't used to playing in summer heat anywhere in the world
