Los aficionados de Corea del Sur no podían entrar con el tequila rumbo al estadio, así que se la empezaron a tomar entre todos y después invitaron a los mexicanos a beber también JAJAJAJAJA.

Es el mejor Mundial de la historia.

Inspired by https://t.co/OjIvlQbDhO, but for football.

Draft a Premier League XI from random clubs and seasons. Build your team. Simulate the season.

Can you go 38-0?

vamos a hablar de que holanda inventó un pais para poder llevar a su selección suplente al mundial?

試合前のルーティン👀
試合に出る前は右左右左、上下上下や奥と手前など複数の動きをして目のズレや奥行き、視野を広げたり反応の誤差などを短縮するトレーニングを取り入れてから試合に入ります。

僕は右を見る時は大丈夫ですが、左を見る時は少し目が下に下がります。
その誤差がトラップやロングパスの距離などに影響してきます。

首を振った時にどこに相手がいて味方がどんなアクションをしているか、中盤の選手にとって理解することは大事です。
全てのアクションは目から始まる！

This came after Fletcher couldn't beat Brighton in the FA Cup. It is tedious, but for the sake of my sanity, I am revisiting the tweet at the end of the season as promised.

The new manager Carrick ended up with a 70.58% win rate, far greater than Amorim's 31.9%.

I dug a little deeper to find out what the underlying numbers say (as apparently only those matter to some people), so here are the results:

Amorim (Aug 17, 2025-Jan 4, 2026):

Wins: 8 (6th)
Points: 31 (6th)
Goals scored: 34 (3rd)
Goals conceded: 30 (14th)
xG: 38.82 (3rd)
xGA: 28.29 (8th)
xPts: 33.98 (5th)

Carrick (January 17, 2026-May 24, 2026):

Wins: 12 (1st)
Points: 39 (1st)
Goals scored: 33 (1st)
Goals conceded: 18 (5th)
xG: 30.85 (6th)
xGA: 21.67 (3rd)
xPts: 28.74 (3rd)
(Source: Understat)

Barring xG, Carrick beats Amorim in every metric. The biggest gainers being goals prevented and defensive stability.

I dug further to check what those big xG numbers under Amorim actually meant:
A big chunk of the xG came in situations where the opposition scored against United early and then sat back and defended.

For example: Man City 3-0 Man Utd. On paper, United had an xG of 1.51 vs. City. But 1.45 (96%) of that came after United had already gone 3-0 down, and City had no issue defending the lead.

Similarly, Brentford 3-1 Utd: 2.07 (95.4%) of United's 2.17 xG came after going 2-0 down to Brentford.

Utd 0-1 Everton at Home in December: 1.57 of the 1.71 xG came after going 1-0 at home to 10-man Everton. Everton had no problem giving Utd the ball and defending.
(Source: Opta Analyst)

So all those shouting Amorim had better xG should take game states into consideration as well.

The lesson to be learned here is you shouldn't let agendas blind you to the obvious, so much so that you stop enjoying wins under the new manager. One of the best decisions Utd made was sacking Amorim (however inadvertently), and that effectively changed the course of our season.

(And this is me permanently done with Amorim 🚮).

When Sir Ferguson had enough of Roy Keane, the same person now trash talking and lying about things Bruno Fernandes didn’t say, while also talking about what it means to be a leader when he was a terrible leader himself.

Not a Manchester United legend 🚮

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

When Gary Neville lied about Bruno Fernandes, he never acknowledged it or apologised.

When Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt disrespected Lisandro Martinez, they didn't apologise & doubled down.

When Roy Keane misquoted Bruno Fernandes, he chose not to apologise & doubled down.

It takes maturity & grace to admit when you've gotten something wrong. Players have called out these ex-players & they couldn't handle it.

All they had to do was say they got it wrong, perhaps even apologise & move on. They would rather it drag on, because that gets them what they truly want.

Disappointing to find out you have to separate the players you loved from the pundits you can't stand.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Roy Keane twisting his words:

“What I don't like is when people lie about things, and in this case, what you said about Roy Keane, basically, what he said is a lie.” [@StevenBartlett]

Really good thing he only elbowed Spence in the face and his hand didn’t brush through Spence’s hair otherwise he could’ve been sent off for violent conduct.
