Reckon this is the best performance I've ever seen any England side put in.

I’ve just clocked the big problem with this youth venture Chelsea have embarked on is everyone needs minutes, lots of them.

Madueke is just rotting away on the bench when he should be developing his final third play with consistent minutes, his dribbling ability is already elite & he tracks back too. Not kick & run dribbling either like Traore he will take his man on both inside/outside with ease

Quality finish today

Rico Lewis deserves a senior call-up

Phillips needs more game time. We aren’t blessed with loads of defensive midfielders which is why he’s there

Well he’s not a straight swap for any of them, but imo Henderson shouldn’t be making the squad

Banning all ads makes more sense imo

I might just be bad at Googling but I’ve looked for like 10 minutes now and can’t find out wtf a Golden Boy wild card is. Can anyone enlighten me?

True but you’d imagine ward prowse comes in then.

Get Gallagher out as well and we can have both 😎

Henderson in RCM

Lee Carsley winning the 2028 home Euros with a front line of Madueke-Delap-Philogene.

The entirety of European football is engaged in a conspiracy to keep Scott McTominay from being the best midfielder in the history of football. And /r/soccer is on it. We still haven't got a replay of his disallowed goal in /new.

I'm not bitter or anything but the way goalkeepers are protected is a joke. They get away with so much and get fouls called in their favour for absolutely everything.

Dear mods,

I give you a lot of shit but I am greatful that you have decided to ban commenting on any Israel/Palestine post. Thank you 😊

We do not need that political shit leaking into our subreddit. I salute you for maintaining peace!

I personally think the statement from the Premier League is very solid. It acknowledges the sacrifices suffered by Palestinians and Israelis throughout this tragic Shitshow.

Get your popcorn out for the Spain - Scotland post match thread

None of the 4 Nations League Finalists of 2023 are top of their EURO Qualifying groups

Going invincible is no more impressive than the teams that have scored the most goals in a season or conceded the least in a season. They’re all just trivial achievements. Man City getting 100 points is so much more impressive than just not losing.

TIL Houssem Aouar is balling for the Algerian NT now

Sacchi's yea, Capello's less so, even through Capello never needed massive bottlejob to win the title in a better league at the time like Cruyff needed thrice.

I'm so gutted I can't celebrate us qualifying first.

SE CANCELA LA DEPRE. JUEGA LA SCALONETA

Scotland not having quality players like Croatia and Uruguay will always remain a mystery to me.

CMV: players like Lukaku and Morata are only successful because we've had an absolute dearth of strikers for their generation.

If they were playing in the 2000s-2010s, there's zero chance they'd have clubs fighting over them.

Thanks. It’s a bit odd how the golden boy awards themselves don’t have a (clear) place where they explain it

What are some negatives about a cap on minutes per player even if it's just in domestic football?

Reasons why I think it would be a good idea:
-Player fitness

-Young players and squad players get more game time which is a positive for them (especially for a Bissouma/Conte situation)

-Big teams will rotate more often leading to more opportunities for smaller clubs to cause an upset

There's probably some downsides I can't think of ????

Everyone's talking about the next Messi or Ronaldo, I want the next Neymar or Hazard. Extremely talented dribbler, fantastic pace, and an eye for end product. Think the only one that comes close to that is Vinicius. Where are all the exciting wingers? I miss you. Come back. And please, if possible, sign for Manchester United.

How does Brozovic look so finished already

There was loads of support for them as well though. With Beckham the Tabloids smelt blood and it was all very one sided.

My main takeaway too. Incredible really.

can’t be convinced Oihan Sancet is the name of someone not from the lord of the rings’ universe

It means they were better, therefore more impressive.

Nice work!

The Italy NT after all the good vibes and winning the Euros has just 📉📉📉📉

Encouraging performance, but fucks sake man that's a game we should be winning. Lorenzo set us up well but not great in game management. We needed to slow that down after people started gassing and we already had a lead

Nope, 30 degrees on October is unbearable.

Have Match Threadder’s thread been wonky lately for anyone else

Spot on. You’re not reading too much into it at all, it’s just something that a lot of people don’t have the language for. Especially the part about his masculinity. The pearl clutching about the sarong in particular was pathetic. As for the supposed “distraction” of it all it seemed more like people tried their hardest to let themselves be distracted into caring about anything but his quality as a player. And you’re so spot on, I think most people wouldn’t admit it but the fact that he engaged with traditionally “feminine” interests with the modeling and fashion in not just society at that time but football in particular caused most people the most grief. And they’re pathetic for it. It’s also something I really respect Beckham for, just like how I respect Dennis Rodman for it (engaging with “femininity” and expression through fashion, makeup, hair etc). I’m truly upset thinking about how all these backwards people banded together to project their own insecurities and misery onto these men who went against stupid gendered conventions

International break, and clubs I dislike doing well, has forced me to lurk in the /r/cricket SA vs Aus post-match thread for my schadenfreuden. Really scraping the barrel now

I thought Messi didn't play forMiami because he was injured?

I dont expect messi to have any respect for a team that didn't exist 3-ish years ago; but where did his career-ending injury go?

why are Scotland fans whinging about a goal that should’ve been disallowed being disallowed?

Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison are not it.

Ancelotti/Diniz need to hope that Vitor Roque is ready by the summer for Copa America and for 2026. Endrick might be post 2026 tbf

Luis Diaz is a cold chested and useless player, Liverpool can keep him if they want, they don't do us any harm, take him and never give him back, thank you.

I wonder if argentines will go though the same stuff we're going through with cristiano, but with messi, getting pissed at being subbed off, still getting called up while shit, permanent spot in the starting eleven etc.
