@johnwalker_1986 Soon as a keeper doesnt fall for it and stands tall the stutter becomes irrelevant & it actually means the pen taker cannot pick an angle at any power or speed.
Ahead of England v Mexico tonight I think everyone should watch this rendition of โIfโ by Rudyard Kipling from the film Mike Bassett: England Manager.
Overall a very silly and satirical film, but this reading of the poem is actually inspiring.
Iโll be there at 1am.
I cannot fathom the hate Paraguay is getting. Even if they are irritating and can be floppers and divers.
They beat Germany. They didn't let France, the best attack in the world, score a goal besides questionable pk.
France has 70 million people, tons of academies, tons of money, a recruiting pipeline from African countries that were once French colonies, the Ballon D'or winner, one of the best players in the world in Mbappe, and a team depth that basically only 1 other team can rival.
Yet people are clapping seals for them and ripping on how Paraguay played? A country of 7 million people, a country ranked like 100 in terms of GDP and wealth, ranked 41st in the world via FIFA rankings, and zero stars.
I think only Almiron and Encisco played in the EPL at some point lol. Yet people expect them to go toe to toe with the best team in the world? "But but but anti-football!" They're trying to win. Only people who have never played the game would have the gameplan to play an open game against the best attacking team in the world. Genius.
Well done Paraguay. You guys may have some cheap tactics too, but that's how you take it to the tournament favorites.
Terrible look for France tbh.
BBCโs commentary was shockingly anti-Paraguay and the punditry has been even worse.
the refereeโs worthy of criticism, he was awful, but Paraguay did what they have to do to take on a superior opponent.
I watch teams do this Barcelona every week and they never get criticised!
For back up left back, you go either;
- someone experienced who you can trust to do a job when required
Or
- a young prospect whoโs used sporadically
Iโd go for option 1 and Iโd go for an ex-player..
Cheap, easy, 3ish years left in the tank
9 assists for St M from LB!!
I know GK signings donโt normally get people excited
But heโll be our number 1 for a good 6-7 years - unless bought for big money before then
He is everything Butland isnโt in terms of
- claiming crosses
- quick off his line
- can actually deal with corners!!!!

Northern Irish club Linfield FC have officially revealed their new 2026-27 home kit, produced by Macron.
The design features a traditional blue base complemented by white and red accents. The release coincides with the club's announcement of a new three-year principal sponsorship agreement with Porter & Co. Wine Merchants, whose logo appears on the front of the shirt.
This man is meant to represent our country as the Scotland Manager
