    45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2025/26

    Different tactics are possible and which tactic is best is a matter of opinion. I favor posesion as the primary means of defense - which Pep employs - but that tactic will fail if the players aren't good enough to press quickly to win the ball back and defend against balls over the top of the...

    Will we win the league this season?

    Will we win the league next season? Given our current squad, I don't think that we're favorite to do so. The summer transfer window is still open though so we'll see. Liverpool Chelsea/Man City/Arsenal Newcastle is what I expect as of now.

    David Silva fact!

    Silva is class - but Xavi and Iniesta and Busquets were all better footballers - unfortunately, when David played, Spain were packed with generational talents at mid.

    Hard to tell how this will all turn out, but it's got the potential to cause huge problems for Trump.

    Can't argue with most of that. It wouldn't surprise me though if Chelsea finished above 4th.

    Legal action against Football’s governing bodies

    Brain injuries due to head-to-head collisions, it seems to me, could be prevented or at least greatly reduced, by requiring footballers to wear safety head gear - perhaps something similar to what Petr Cech wore, but hopefully even more minimalist.

    Will we see a players' strike?

    It's a brand new tournament and the qualification rules do indeed seem a bit arbitrary. There is some logic in the rules - but it's tenuous. At any rate, I loved the tournament - and I agree with you - that the qualification criteria probably needs improvement.

    Will we see a players' strike?

    At the start of the tournament I felt as you do. But as the tournament progressed, and I watched the games, I grew to like the tournament more and more. I'm now a big fan of the CWC and look forward to watching it once more in 4 years time.

    Will we see a players' strike?

    Injury, illness, the whim of a manager, suspensions due to too many yellows or a recent red and on an on... Coupled with the subjective opinion of what constitutes the best side from your point of view versus the manager's... You're rarely going to see the "best 11" from each side.

    Preliminary reports from the Spanish body in charge of investigating this incident, indicates that Diogo Jota was driving and that his vehicle was moving at a speed far in excess of the limit at the time of the crash. === Years ago, when driving from Los Angeles with my brother to my parent's...

    Sleep safe in the knowledge that current Manure ownership creates a situation where ManU are fucked and, IMO, might well be relegated in the next few years.

    Will we see a players' strike?

    Just out of curiosity - how much credence is there in the claim that playing football stars over and over due to a tight schedule leads to more injuries on the basis of injury to time played ratio? In case this isn't clear - let's for example take 2 scenarios: 1) Footballers rarely play. Only...

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    I agree. I think that PSG has the best squad in world football. That said - PSG has some weaknesses to shore up - a long ball over the right may well prove useful - Nuno Mendes is, IMO, the best left back in the world, but he screwed up at least twice leading to Chelsea's goals. Palmer...
