Timing, we've just drawn fkin Liechtenstein at home.
Are they the ones that have actually improved a lot or is that Luxembourg?

Relatedly, I would love nothing more than to find out my grandmother or something was secretly a citizen of Andorra or Gibraltar or St. Kitts or something. I think I could have made those teams once upon a time.

I had a college teammate called up to the Barbados u-21s or something like that who I was substantially better than. Woulda been a fun way to see Central America and the Caribbean. Alas.

Now I just make threads on the soccer subforum of a hockey forum.

Southgate doesn't know his best defenders like usual lol left Branthwaite & Chalobah at home, is starting Stones.

Also his offensive system managed to make Cole Palmer look shit lol and Palmer was probably the most valuable player to his team last season.

Also Phil Foden looks so mid every time he starts for England, should be a bench sub with Gordon starting in his natural LWF position.

Is BBC/ITV with a VPN better for streaming on-demand games than paying for TSN?

Cos I tried TSN during the World Cup and their streaming was crap quality compared to the US free TubiTV with a VPN plus they took a full day to upload the games.

Tournament hasn't even started yet and people are already arguing about nonsense and calling each other stupid.

I think the answer is actually pretty obvious - England have always been short on creativity because as a team they're not set up around that particular skill. And they're not alone in that. Possession does not equal creativity. Teams are drilled to stay in shape and follow patterns. Creativity is the ability to deviate from what's been instructed and coached and to 'freelance' successfully. Most coaches don't like that. Gareth Southgate definitely does not like that.

Hojbjerg with a great goal against Norway. Best all around midfielder on the Spurs in my book, too bad Ange doesn't see it.

Hojbjerg made it clear that he wasn't interested in sticking around for much longer. And Ange likes his committed players.

Croatia with a decent performance in Portugal, unfortunately we lack a top class striker to convert these chances

The hate Saka is getting in the English press is a little ridiculous.... I wonder why he is being singled out for the performance....?
