"England had the most complete top-end goalkeeper profile in the final FIFA Power Rankings."
Jordan Pickford is world class. Blues know it. The stats show it. 🔝
England have conceded 3 goals for the first time since June 2025 when Jordan Pickford wasn’t in goal.
The time before that was June 2022, when Pickford also wasn’t in goal.
😊
#OnThisDay in 2021, Jordan Pickford saved two penalties in the Euro 2020 final – after keeping five clean sheets along the way.
It wasn't to be that night, but can JP and England go all the way at this year's World Cup? 🏴
🚨🚨🚨🚨🗣️ حديث عاطفي جدًا من الاسطورة كريستيانو 🥺:
أنتم جميعًا تتمنون ألا أعود، أليس كذلك؟
لا تريدون رؤيتي هنا بعد الآن.
سيأتي ذلك اليوم، سيأتي لا محالة،
لكن اسمعوا، سأكون صريحًا معكم، بغض النظر عما سيحدث غدًا، سأغادر من هنا بضمير مرتاح،
ليس بنسبة 100%، بل بنسبة ألف بالمئة.
أتعرفون لماذا؟ لأنني في الحياة، وفي كرة القدم، بذلتُ كل ما في وسعي.
شغفي، ورغبتي في اللعب طوال هذه السنوات لم تكن بدافع الضرورة، كما تعلمون.
الحمد لله أنني بخير في حياتي، لكن الأمر كله شغف.
ألعب للمنتخب الوط��ي وللأندية لأنني أحب لعب كرة القدم، أتعرفون؟ مهما حدث غدًا، سأكون سعيدًا،
أتعرفون؟ لا يمكنني أن أضغط على نفسي، وأنا أقترب من نهاية مسيرتي وأعلم أن عليّ ال��وز، وأنني مُلزم بالفوز.
الأمر يتعلق بالاستمتاع بكل يوم، والاستمتاع بكل مباراة، والاستمتاع بمنافسة عظيمة ككأس العالم.
وأعتقد، رغم بعض آرائكم المختلفة، أنني لا أقدم أداءً سيئًا.
لقد سجلت بالفعل ثلاثة أهداف؛
سجل آخرون أهدافًا أكثر لأنهم جيدون جدًا، لكنني لا أقدم أداءً سيئًا، على ما أعتقد.
علينا أن نستمر، لنرَ إن كنت سأفوز غدًا وأسجل هدفًا.

So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..
PUNISHMENT: £10m fine
——
Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.
PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”
——
One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?
The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.
“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.
Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?
The same panel that gave us 10 points have now delivered this new ruling.
The same original panel were actually criticised by the second panel when they adjusted the points deduction later on.
They made the rules up as they went along with no framework in place.
We've been punished financially and with a points deduction already. This is punishment number three.
How many times can one club be sanctioned for the same thing?
As we said before: Where there is power, greed and money…there is corruption.
The PL are having a laugh. Everton are to pay £40m to Burnley because of PSR breaches in 21/22? Burnley were relegated because they were shit not because of anything Everton did. How about getting the City case settled before we hear anymore about PSR at other clubs?
