منتخب انجلترا عامل حسابه علي أدق التفاصيل عشان عاوز يكسب كاس العالم
الاتحاد الإنجليزي دخل البطولة وهو عارف إن أكبر منافس ليه مش منتخب معين...
أكبر عدو هو الإرهاق.
وعشان كده، كل حاجة داخل المعسكر محسوبة بالأرقام.
بعد كل مباراة، كل لاعب بيبدأ يومه بوزن نفسه، ويسجل وزنه على جهاز الآيباد، عشان الجهاز الطبي يعرف حجم السوائل اللي فقدها.
لكن الموضوع أكبر من مجرد الوزن.
كل لاعب بيتراقب بدقة...
كام كيلومتر جرى؟
كام Sprint عمل؟
قد إيه فقد سوائل أثناء المباراة؟
وإيه معدل الإجهاد اللي وصل له؟
وبناءً على كل البيانات دي، كل لاعب بيلاقي على الشاشة الخاصة بيه برنامج تغذية مختلف.
كام وجبة بروتين محتاج؟
كام جرام كربوهيدرات؟
وحتى بعد المباريات، فيه توصيات باستخدام الكركم، والزنجبيل، وأوميجا 3 للمساعدة على تقليل الالتهابات وتسريع الاستشفاء.
والأذكى من ده كله...
إن أيام الراحة عندهم مقدسة.
مفيش تدريبات بدون داعٍ.
اللاعب يخرج مع عيلته، يلعب جولف، أو بادل، أو حتى يتمشى بعيدًا عن أي ضغط نفسي.
لأنهم مؤمنين إن الاستشفاء الذهني مهم بنفس أهمية الاستشفاء البدني.
واضح إن إنجلترا لا تتعامل مع كأس العالم على إنه مجرد مباريات...
بل ماراثون طويل، والفائز فيه مش هيكون بالضرورة الأكثر موهبة...
هيكون المنتخب اللي عرف يحافظ على لاعبيه بدنيًا وذهنيًا حتى آخر يوم في البطولة.
Something that might have slipped under your radar. Sir Gareth Southgate turned down any sort of media work and punditry during the World Cup to ensure that there were no distractions or ‘media troublemaking’ for Thomas Tuchel and the England team throughout the tournament. He put the team’s interests above his own, which is what we’ve all come to expect from this thoroughly decent human being.
However far we now go in the USA, never forget who laid the foundations - someone who even after his exit is doing all that he can to help.
Possibly my favourite part of England trips is going to places where you’re told ‘be careful, keep your wits about you’ etc when you know full well it’s bollocks and you’ll have a great time. Happens all the time and Mexico City is a brilliant example. Had two days now of being..
Lions, every single one of them, starters and subs. No need to worry about altitude when you have attitude like this. Pure defiance. Guts and glory. England silenced the mighty Azteca, exorcised ghosts and were absolutely worth staying up for. On to Miami and Norway #MEXENG
I don‘t care what English people say, playing for clubs like Bayern & Madrid changes the way you view football and deal with pressure. No Prem club has this aura. Kane and Jude would not be this clutch if they didn‘t dare leaving the Prem, Kane admitted it himself.
A terrorist randomly stabbing people in London but people are more concerned that the police are booting him in the head to get the knife off him 😭 fucking divs everywhere
This takes courage…
The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK 👀, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.
I knew it. Coachella took down the video.
Variety, NME, CNN Brasil, & Pitchfork wrote articles using this tweet.
Reposting it here in clips: the moment The Strokes criticized the CIA, the US government, and the killings in Iran and Gaza.

£26436.80 is the new min wage annual salary (40 hrs p/wk).
And as the min wage rises, regular salaries don't. So many people will begin to ask themselves 'why am I working this highly stressful job that needed qualifications and a tonne of bullshit paperwork and police checks just to earn 5k more a year than I would stacking shelves at Lidl?'
I think that in recent years we have become too BBC-friendly
They should concentrate more on making great programmes, and less on social engineering
Social engineering is not what they are paid for
