    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    What fudging game is Shearer commentating on?

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I’m not being funny but the bbc are hard to listen to. Kane has clearly feigned injury there to get the lad in trouble and Shearer just says “great defending”. fudge sake.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Have to be honest. I don’t think England have been nearly as good as the commentators think. Mexico are far better on the ball. Technically, they are lovely footballers. Bar 3 minutes of madness, Mexico have been the better side.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    Thing is, they aren’t saying the red card is wrong. They haven’t rescinded it. That makes the decision even more incredible.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    There’s no precedent for this and there is no transparency as to why this card should be subject to different treatment or how the decision has been arrived at. That’s wrong and it opens a massive can of worms.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    What is the rule change here though? They’ve just suspended the punishment without any explanation and without clarifying if other players will get the same benefit. It’s indefensible IMO.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    You can’t get to the right result this way. If incorrect red cards are a risk, you create some form of appeal mechanism. You don’t make ad hoc decisions like this. They didn’t even overturn the red card, they suspended the punishment. This is unprecedented in World Cups. It completely calls...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Rooney is fudging deplorable. Great player but it was purely on talent because his opinions are brick and his insight non existent. Richards is just the class clown. Entertaining but not always because of why he thinks he’s entertaining. Hart is decent to be fair. Thought he was very poor when...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Just thinking and maybe its nostalgia talking but... The world cup has been great and I've enjoyed more than I expected. I wasn't even going to watch. However, has the game become homogenised in terms of tactics and coaching? When we get to this stage particularly, it's just the lads we see...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    It’s fudging outrageous. FIFA say they stand for fair play and respect. This is tinkling all over the fairness and equality of their own rules and calls into question that whole impartiality of the competition. Why should any side accept any suspension and if that happens, you’ll potentially...

    Richarlison

    Love his attitude, he has a cult hero vibe about him but time to move him on. Technically, one of the worst Brazilians I've ever seen although we've had a couple of other candidates that'd run him close for that accolade. Still, he did get us some important goals.

    Your point on doing things early is another good one that highlights the shift in strategy this summer. I really can’t see why we bought Van Hecke and Senesi if we were anything other than certain Romero would leave. I’m intrigued to see how it plays out.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    There is merit in what you say. For me, I believe Levy’s legacy on the footballing side is far from bad though. By 2004, we hadn’t been in the top 6 for 15 years. That’s when Levy really started to do things differently with Arnesen. Then we finished top 6 in something like 16 of 18 seasons and...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It's a really interesting question. And it's very hard to know. The two extremes are that Levy wasn't given the latitude by ENIC to spend big money or that he just didn't know how to take the next step. Personally, while I do think ENIC/Joe Lewis ran a tight ship and probably weren't minded to...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    He certainly contributed to both 17th placed finishes albeit I'd argue there were far more guilty parties than him for last season's fiasco. Without Levy's vision, we may have never been in a position to compete like a big club in the market. And that is something we'd have needed to do at some...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    100% right. It was Levy's vision which has landed us in a place where we can spend money. He did a tremendous job getting us to this place but seemed like he'd taken us as far as he could. Still doesn't take away from what he delivered for the club. This doesn't have to be a Levy bad/Nepos good...
