The Global Football Thread

The England World Cup squad is leaking and that list is just digusting. Picking Tuchel to manage England was always going to be a disaster IMO and this is where it really begins to go down hill. We will be lucky to go any further than the Round of 16.
 
I can see why Tuchel has made some decisions, the likes of Foden and Palmer have had awful seasons, Toney is a good deputy for Kane and has been used to playing in hot weather.

But if form over name counts why is Gibbs-White out? And why take Stones but not Maguire?

Guess we'll know soon enough if some of these decisions turn out to be gutsy or stupid.
 
A lot of leaks. Hopefully those players who have missed out knew before they leaked.

Struggling to get excited for this one. Hopefully will do nearer time, especially as in Greece for knockout rounds and you cant beat a bit of WC football when on hols.
 
Hull win the playoff final! I've gone from not caring who went up to being really pleased. Sure Steve Gibson will still try and sue someone for something
 
The whole thing with Southampton and the spying nonsense - with some bloke actually lurking in the bushes, for God's sake - is absolutely absurd. It would be funny if it wasn't so completely pathetic. Pleased they were kicked out and good for Hull.

Stoked with third for United and really hope Carrick will be properly backed by Ineos / Ratcliffe. Jury's well and truly out on the latter as far as I'm concerned (to put it as politely as I possibly can), but Carrick deserves an opportunity if only for displaying some actual common sense. After all, who knew playing people in positions they're actually suited to actually works?? (Not Amorim, anyway.)

Very ambivalent about the World Cup. I know very well I'm going to watch it but I wish it was being held almost anywhere else. Such is life, I suppose.
 
I don't really know anyone who's remotely excited for the WC.

So in the end Spurs stayed up and West Ham go down. Chuffed for Bournemouth Sunderland and Brighton all making Europe.

Right now I'm feeling that I will watch it if it's on, but I won't be seeking it out. Kind of hard to get excited for it considering the corruption that I've been hearing about (Parking, Public Transit, etc) going into it.
 
The amount of “simulation” is making the Champions league final very hard to watch.
Methinks the World Cup won’t be any different.☹️

Bring back Chopper Harris!🙀
 
its gonna be a intresting 2026 world cup
I'm going with Spain to win it, there's the potential for a Spain/France semi final and a Spain/Brazil final, both cracking games on paper.

There's also the potential for half-empty stadiums and a lot of jet-lagged fans and players, the format for this tournament has been all wrong, and the next one is said to be even worse!
