    Chelsea looked unimpressive in their win v. Fluminense - with a little luck, Fluminense could have won.

    Save Our Ruben Interim

    The concept of this thread is faulty. It seems to claim that, please, please, retain Ruben Amorim as manager so that United will continue to fail; whereas no manager will make a whit of difference, absent a huge shakeup in ownership. Manure are full of malcontent players who don't give it...

    VAR Discussion Thread | 2024/25

    VAR - a great idea and one which I 100% am in favor of in concept - but completely dislike the implementation. Here's why: * Artificial Intelligence has reached the point where, with adequate training, it could call every single play subject to VAR. And AI should call all such plays - because...

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    This is a fascinating look into why PSG were so good against Madrid - including quotes from Enrique and a fascinating quote from Courtois - along with tactical analysis. The title of the video is very misleading - it should have been titled something along the lines of, "How PSG Dominated Los...

    World Cup 2026

    Another problem with the rankings is that there aren't enough meaningful inter-continental confederation games played, meaning that comparison between teams in different confederations is going to be inaccurate, sometimes wildly inaccurate.

    A very interesting take on the Epstein Files from the Bulwark (well worth watching). And MAGA is having a very interesting reaction to Bondi's claim that there's nothing in the Epstein Files, in complete contrast to what she had previously claimed. The quote below is a Fox News broadcast in...

    World Cup 2026

    The truth is that your 2009 example of a highly skilled USA team - has some merit - but, IMO not as much weight as you give it. Why? Because the USA faces teams in their own continental zones by in large - which is CONCACAF. The 2009 team you site - rated top 4 in the world - let's be honest...

    United Thread | 2025/26

    United - where talented players go to die. United have a huge problem with culture, management (less so) and ownership (big, big time). No matter how much they spend, given current ownership's direction, they'll likely be screwed - because building a successful team is all about getting...

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    I love PSG for their exciting style of play - and have nothing against their squad now that MBappe, Neymar, Alves, etc., are no longer in their side. I expect that PSG will dominate the game and win big - and I hope so - but in a one-off game, anything might happen.

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    How PSG plays is very different, IMO, than how we played, because our press styles are so different; press man-to-man versus cut off passing lanes. That in turn dictates the profile of players that PSG signs - everyone has pace because pressing the man requires this. Our pressing style...

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    Every one of those players are world class - but they're not team players. Alonso faces an impossible task IMO - likely every one of those players can complain to management above Alonso's level and for Alonso to give them what they want.

    Agree. It's the culture at Real Madrid that is off. That is very hard to fix.

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

    The Grealish transfer I think is on management/ownership - why did we sign him in the first place? Did Pep want him in our squad? It strikes me that Grealish is an attacking midfielder - but for whatever reason we signed him - and Pep has primarily played him at LW. The signing of Grealish in...
