2 - There are just two occasions of a team scoring first in the semi-final but not reaching the final of the FIFA World Cup in the 21st century – both of them are England (vs Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026).
Familiar.
All on Tuchel. 6 defenders on the pitch defending a 1-0 lead, it’s worse than Southgate. Spain showed yesterday how to control a lead. We just melt and fold time after time
It’s time the media stopped using the phrase ‘one of the world’s biggest football clubs’ about Manchester United. Been a long time since they were one of those.
Starc has faced 70 balls, gassing out our bowlers and the batsman have been out in the sun all afternoon session. England please take note, you don’t have to throw your wicket away, make them work for it
Amorim making FOUR defensive substitutions at home against a poor side in the relegation zone might be the reason his side failed to win at home. Miserable spectacle.
Beating 18th in the league at home and instead of killing the game off and going for the 2nd, he makes 3 changes to his back 5, brings Ugarte on for Cunha and takes off our attacking outlet Zirkzee for Mount. He invited pressure and got what he deserved for being a coward.
Another dire performance. Bailed out by 2 set pieces on the weekend to paper over the cracks. It’s a squad full of a bang average players and a system that is rigid and painful on the eye
Depressing and predictable 🤬 No Cummins or Hazelwood, all they had to do was keep Starc quiet. Gifting wicket after wicket to the short ball. 5-0 Aus incoming
United won’t get Sesko because they don’t have the money. It’s incredible how far they’ve fallen. And sad. Let’s hope the money spent on Mbeumo proves worth it. He’s an all or nothing gamble.
