Endless world-class saves
Jordan Pickford’s England legacy grows with every tournament.
Always No.1. 👑💙
This is brilliant, and Martin Crowe was one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history. Never gets mentioned enough in the 🐐 debates. Classy, dominant, and technically magnificent. @russellcrowe
I’ll leave it here, but I find it astonishing that American colleagues I respect, in sports and beyond, are either celebrating or minimizing what should be obvious: overt political interference in a disciplinary decision at a World Cup is unethical, unacceptable and profoundly dangerous. Whatever one thinks of Balogun and the red card itself, the debate is now beyond it and precedent is indefensible. The integrity of the tournament depends on the idea that what happens on the field is judged by the rules of the game, not by pressure from political power.
To celebrate this is...baffling.
I’m usually not one to say “it was better in my day” every era is special to those of a certain age living it, but when it comes to presenters and pundits at the WC I think it was. So much better in the past, presenters had personality and pundits had character and opinions
@efc_fanservices@Everton It really is. Spent over 3 hours in a queue hoping to speak to someone in the ticket office, and still not managed to get through yet. You’d think as this is impacting the entire fan base they’d communicate something to say it’s atleast known and being investigated. But nothing!
@efc_fanservices I'm in a network of 4 friends with permissions set to 'manage', and yet when i come to select move tickets i can only move my own ticket. I should be able to move all 4 based on the club instructions. What's going on @Everton
The interviews both last week and yesterday sum David Moyes up. He’s done well to steady the ship, but let’s be honest the ship was only sinking because Dyche had thrown in the towel. We finish the season behind Brentford, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Fulham only 5 points above Forest. In terms of ability, no one will convince me that some of our players are indeed footballers. But most of the players are good enough to compete and take us above those teams. In terms of a culture, things need change. The business is (now) thriving, the stadium is world class. This season I’ve been to more games than I have for a long time. Every home game and most away, missing just a handful. I won’t have it that we’re not ready yet and that we should stay in our lane. With that attitude and never believing in investing in younger players, we never will be. And that’s Moyes all over. It was like this first time around - set up not to lose, use your stalwarts - the same now. The club is in a much healthier place now than it was back then. We don’t need safe and we don’t need stability; we need progress, we need creativity and we need innovation. We’ve seen none of that. It’ll be another 30 years before silverware if we stick with this philosophy. Little old Everton perpetually underperforming, staying in lane and suffering imposter syndrome when the ‘big teams’ turn up to play us….. here’s the thing, there’s not a single team I’ve seen us play this season who we couldn’t have beaten. Not one. The business model is sound but the football mentality is rotten - and that needs to change.
Roma securing champions league while Everton are ‘knowing our place’ and letting the big boys walk all over us, because that’s the philosophy that’s now acceptable.
NSNO…. I don’t think so.
Time for a real change.
Have a nice summer all, enjoy the World Cup 👍💙
Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.
@henrywinter Its been a cruel 3 weeks for Everton. The football gods hate us. Concede 90+10 to lose the derby, 90+5 to lose last week, 90+7 today to drop the chance of a win.
When James Garner made his England debut against Uruguay, he became the 56th different player to make his England debut whilst playing his club football for Everton, surpassing Liverpool (55).
Only Aston Villa (63) and Spurs (58) have hade more #ENG debutants than #EFC.
