    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I think you have to also realise that when you switch to that defensive 5 you start moly cannot have your key players like Anderson as deep as your centre halves. It just invites the pressure. Nobody can surely build a case for Harry being the 1 in a 5-4-1 either. How is that fair to a 32 year...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Kane was massively guilty of not doing 2 or 3 things in this game. The first is MOVE. Kane probably passed the ball as well as any of the best Argies but the difference was that they then moved into space. Kane didn't, and he was barely showing when our defender and midfielders had the ball. He...

    Fair play to Djed. Proud of his performance tonight.

    Yep, take a bow tonight Christian. The best defender on the pitch.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    My take on it THE BEST TEAM WON If I was clutching at straws, I could build an argument that the early yellow cards in the first phase of the game could have stopped the significant shift in momentum in the next phases. We simply cannot have referees ignoring the laws of the game at any level...

    Sounds controversial, but we haven't needed Davies taking a squad place for a fair few years now.

    Pedro Porro

    Was thinking the same. We've spent the entire WC talking about Spence, whilst Porro has quietly taken care of business and will be in that team of the tournament. In some ways because of the burden on these 2 guys bodies, it would be worth doing a lot of rotation until they've recharged and...

    I think you actually explain the black and white piece. The grey area is always these 2 cases 1) A player that comes out of your academy 2) What happens when players sign new contracts Take Connor Gallagher as an example. His balance sheet valuation at Chelsea was next to nothing. That made...

    I had a feeling you might have finance acumen whether running your own or supporting a P&L. Football finance is a mine field with footballers being intangible assets that nobody knows how to value. Then you have the contract length to amortisation relationship. I’ve tried to do understand it...

    Logic would say that England need Kane's class on the ball. I think what we might be seeing is a stylistic situation where Kane against Croatia and Norway can get close to 40 touches. However, against Mexico and Ghana he's down around 20 touches. So Tuchel is scratching his head as to what he...

    I do find it interesting how a percentage of fans have become more educated on how football finance works. It would never have even come up in conversation a few years back. I guess on one end of the spectrum we have the fans that just expect their clubs to have that money tree and keep on...

    That eye test is interesting actually. Djed has been really good from the bench and he was really poor against Ghana. What the eye test has told me that England only have one full-back that could go up against the best and that is Reece James even though he's made of glass. I do think Djed has...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I was in Moscow in 2018. The complete lack of dealing with the yellow card incidences in the first half changed that game. I saw it with my own eyes. I think the worse one was probably the delayed Euro's in 2021. That Italy game saw some facrical refereeing and cost us the game. We shouldn't...

    Nope, it will be Eng vs Arg + FIFA, just like it was Eng vs CRO + FIFA in 2018 and Eng vs FRA + FIFA in 2022. It will feel absolutely amazing beating 12 men on Weds.

    Great post. I think the biggest reason to sell Spence would be the trade-off to improving the 1st eleven based on running out of net spending and needing to raise further finances. There are very few players that would create that much profit in this year's accounts. I'd like to think there...

    Potentially, but is that a leap of faith on our part as we don't really know what Lanks will be like at this level? Perhaps it's Lanks as "3rd choice" that gives RDZ the like for like in his squad mix. When you think back to the Elfsborg match it was actually Scarlett that came off the bench...

    Chuffed to bits for the guy. I'm still wondering though whether his England role is super sub. He is so disruptive in that capacity.
