Optimistic Nut 496 Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Make international football semi-pros/amateur. Sort of like how the Olympics used to be. Would be brilliant seeing players from tier 7/8 of English football for example playing in the World Cup against similar level players from across the world. Might make watching a country feel unique again. Can't remember the last time it felt like watching Brazil with their flair, Italy boring their way to a tournament winning 1-0 every game, England booting it to a big man for the little man to feed off in a 4-4-2. Since nearly all countries have the same or similar sort of Academy structure at the top end these days, international tactics are nearly all identical now. This might freshen it up. Might even give footballing backwaters a chance in major competitions. I'd definitely watch that sort of Euros and World Cup over what we get now. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42163 Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Didn’t realise it until we had the benefit of hindsight. But for all its organisational shortcomings, the poor football in many matches and the problems with corruption, etc. Italia 90 was the last proper World Cup. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Germany in '06 was ok, but apart from that.....? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63312 Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 Career over for Coote, you would think. What a tit, allowing someone to video him. Alright for managers to set an entire fanbase on the ref though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 14520 Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 Would love some less sycophantic journalist (are there any) to acknowledge just how bad Klopp's behaviour has been. Of course they'd never be allowed back to Anfield and probably banned by the PL and FA. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(When Man U are 'criticised' it's largely generic/faceless/not naming names criticism with the aim of them not being as shit anymore and getting them back up there. They don't really give a fuck about anyone else maybe other than Arsenal). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right about Klopp too it's a woeful tale for sure. a young bloke's career is in tatters. the misery of drug addiction. a story of horrendous betrayal between friends with the possibility of blackmail thrown in. further allegations of debauched parties in thailand with sex workers. rumours of grooming of 17 year old boys. the questioning of the integrity of pgmol and its possible collapse. the wider implications of the entire cocaine industry and the death and violence that surrounds it. but worst of all it's given the bindippers the opportunity to wave the victim card and claim that they should have at least another 2 titles.
