South did the right thing by starting mainoo. But he needs to go a step further by instructing the other players to always look for him. It is a joke seeing Rice see more of the ball than him. If they are not gonna give him the ball then what's the point starting him.

Laughable that average players like Cristante (DM of 6th placed Roma) and Fagioli (banned for sports betting missed the whole season) were picked ahead of Jorgi.
Spallletti's been past it for over a decade. Yes, massive achievement with Napoli in 22-23 but that's about it for the last 15 years. The title with Napoli was probably more about the players and a perfect storm of crisis in most Italian grands, than Spalletti giving a masterclass.
Weakest Italy I've seen in a while. They won the Euro 4 years ago. Mancini, a capable manager, levels above Spalletti.
He couldn't figure out who to play, where to play, kept changing lineups he has no clue. Di Lorenzo played in every game. That's all we need to know.
The Italian players couldn't string 2 passes together. Jorgi on the bench though. Laughable. They shouldn't have gotten out of the groups.
I’m disappointed they lost because IF we beat Slovakia they won we’d face them. And this Italy team is gash and definitely preferable to the Swiss who I’m honestly not that confident we will beat
We have better players than the Swiss left right and center but they just have this really genuinely decent lineup of players who are very calm and stable and consistent. Which irrespective of how good the England players are is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how I would describe their performances.
Well he has hardly played at all this season. No decent national coach takes a player that has barely played football for the entire season. This was the right thing to do.
The good news is that we get to keep him working on his fitness to put that ACL injury behind him once and for all.
And if he is as good as we all hope he is, then his call up will naturally come in 2 years time.
Wouldn’t say Johnny is an anti semite but definitely a sadly deluded lefty with lefty tunnel vision. I think Pedro pretends to hold certain views to appease his pay advertising masters”
My only opinion of Johny is that his podcast opinion delivery isn’t very good, his opinions are generally fine.
As for his lefty tunnel vision, I wouldn’t know anything about that.
But this assessment coming from you means very little consideration you’ve spent countless hours railing about Biden family corruption ( they are), while staying completely silent on much bigger Trump family scandals
$10m paid out to Hunter Biden in total from Ukraine and Chinese companies ( allegedly) vs $25m being paid to Jarred Kushner per year from the $2b fund he opened with Saudi money, and that’s just a management fee, any profits generated by the fund extra.
Here’s an interesting fact , the four person panel that oversees Saudi Investment Fund voted unanimously to decline the Kushner investment due to him being basically an idiot with no track record of making money , but were overruled by the crown prince in the end.
Probably something to do with Trump selling him $115b worth of weapons in the midst of the Khashogi murder scandal.
As for whether Johny is an anti semite , that term has been leveled at anyone criticizing anything Israel related and has completely lost its meaning.
Rail against legalized corruption aka lobbying and mention big farma, oil and gas, Wall Street and banks…… and you’re just a concerned citizen.
Criticize AIPAC and its overwhelming influence in American politics and you’re an antisemite.
Big difference is that the entire establishment have been trying to pin shit on trump for 8 years
They’ve lied consistently to sink
It’s why they all him Teflon Don
Nothing sticks
On the other hand they’ve done their best to cover up the laptop story as well as who was taking drugs in the White House a few months back
The cia fbi fb msm and Twitter all collided to make this go away
They persecuted assange for revealing how corrupt the deep state is and how much illegal activity they engage in, which is only the teeniest tip of the iceberg
Not sure how you want to defend a man who lies as much as he breathes and is a potential dictator in the making.
Get a grips with what kind of person he is. He really shouldn't be getting into power as he is a real danger to American democracy and the world at large.
His attempted insurrection at the Capitol should tell you everything about what kind of man he is.
lol, Trump could write in his memoirs tomorrow how he instigated the whole thing with aim to circumvent the election results knowing full well it was against the law, and you’d still be defending him citing some bs reasons.
You can’t reason with MAGA crowd and our Un is as close to them as one can get while declining the title.
The Jan 6th insurrection was just a few dozen ardent Trump supporters on a visiting tour of Capitol ushered around by friendly cops blown out of proportion by deep state and lefty media.
Un, there you go again with your right wing talking points lol.
I dislike Biden just as much as I disliked Clintons, but their corruption level is well within the bounds of general corruption American system is build on.
Trump has taken it to another level but because most of it is out in the open people like yourself say , well , he’s not hiding it so it can’t be that bad.
It is.
As for not being able to nail him for it…..well, it’s the system at work again.
His January6th and classified documents case will never see the light of day before the elections, and if he wins he can direct the justice department to kill both.
The interesting dilemma here is that this is still a gamble.
So whether the player will actually bang is still hard to tell. He is only 18. Was his 2 highlighted goals a fluke or is it the true sign of a player who will bang?
The bigger problem here is that Chelski are not renown for developing players.
And their succession plan is doomed to fail if they carry on sacking managers every 2-3 years. Developing players requires internal stability.
That they have bought a player on the cheap indeed is a sign that there are affordable players out there.
Sesko is a good example of this as well and this is why we were in for him. Leipzig and Sesko have made the right call by allowing the player more time to develop and increase his value if he does show that he is capable of making the grade.
Foden out, Jude scores interesting
South did the right thing by starting mainoo. But he needs to go a step further by instructing the other players to always look for him. It is a joke seeing Rice see more of the ball than him. If they are not gonna give him the ball then what's the point starting him.
England are absolutely miserable to watch FML
Saka is once again the only England player who looks good
"The more you watch them operate this window, the more convinced you become that half the games they play are just about being in the media news cycle every 48 hours. Very Elon Musk-ish." [@Pedro]
More like Meghan Markle-ish :)
I'm happy for my boy Kai. Was one of the best players on the pitch.
DB10: "Well he has hardly played at all this season. No decent national coach takes a player that has barely played football for the entire season."
Spalletti did that with this Fagioli fella. Two games played since October but there he was, in Italy's midfield.
Spalletti just said how he changed the players like everyone wanted him to do and that didn't help either.
Clueless, spineless, full of excuses. Said there was no way they could have performed better... Holy moly...
Well that panned out well for Italy, didn't it?
He did tell his players before the game vs Spain they were inferior, which I thought was a real men management gem and a confidence buster.
Laughable that average players like Cristante (DM of 6th placed Roma) and Fagioli (banned for sports betting missed the whole season) were picked ahead of Jorgi.

Well done Switzerland for eliminating Italy out from the Euros.
I don't think Italy realised that Switzerland are no longer a walk in the park.
Xhaka was imperious in this game.
How awful were Italy, Jesus.
Oooof. What a goal by Vargas from Switzerland. It's now getting harder for Italy. Lol!
Didn’t cross my mind before: why was Timber not in the Dutch squad?
Well he has hardly played at all this season. No decent national coach takes a player that has barely played football for the entire season. This was the right thing to do.
The good news is that we get to keep him working on his fitness to put that ACL injury behind him once and for all.

It’s called being in a cult.
Enjoy.
So you really think that there was a legitimate reason to storm the Capitol?
You can’t reason with MAGA crowd and our Un is as close to them as one can get while declining the title.
The Jan 6th insurrection was just a few dozen ardent Trump supporters on a visiting tour of Capitol ushered around by friendly cops blown out of proportion by deep state and lefty media.

Why you think so much of Jan 6 is classified?
To protect trump or protect the deep state? 🤔
Oh Tom
He was clearly telling the crowd to go home peacefully on the day and before hand
The Jan 6th mess was a another situation with a lot of highly irregular goings on
FBI agents trying to rev up the crowd
The barriers being removed
Guards standing by peacefully as they marched around cheering
It’s all really peculiar and at odds with the mainstream narrative
Especially when you consider the mostly peaceful riots all over America by blm supporters a few months later
Cities burned
Peopled (many of them) were murdered
And this was presented as some kind of MLK-esque peace march, requesting the right to live
You’re just another educated guy who drinks the cool aid and he’s spoon fed
Shame as you’re clearly not
Anything less than 22M for Lokonga, Patino is unacceptable
Chelsea selling Omari hichhingtom for a fee of 22M is mind-blowing. What has he done to coammnd such a fee. How can Chelsea manage that.
We are getting a cut. So it is all good this time. But this sets out the bench mark for selling ESR, Nelson and Eddie.
My brother sent me this article from the https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5596495/2024/06/28/chelsea-transfers-marc-guiu/?source=ukfreedailyemail&campaign=711528&userId=5488569&auth=forgot-password&referring_pv_id=xuJ_Apg-jIOyKsYuvyztG5Tf
Not sure what to make of it but for £6 million and a wage of £50k a week sort off suggests that there are bargains out there
The interesting dilemma here is that this is still a gamble.
So whether the player will actually bang is still hard to tell. He is only 18. Was his 2 highlighted goals a fluke or is it the true sign of a player who will bang?

Sesko is a good example of this as well and this is why we were in for him. Leipzig and Sesko have made the right call by allowing the player more time to develop and increase his value if he does show that he is capable of making the grade.
