I don’t think North America needs or deserves another World Cup. On the other hand, my son will be 9 when it rolls round, which should be amazing. Chicago isn’t in the running to host any matches, due to the city (and states) inability to plan a budget despite enormous wealth. I have a feeling this may change (there’s a mayoral race coming up) but tbh I’m selfishly happy to let another city burden themselves. We can’t even adequately fund our schools, I don’t think the public would tolerate money being pissed up the wall on soccer of all things.

The quality is a bit poor, but I always enjoy seeing these, especially how hilariously half-arsed ITV’s 1994 intro is

almost certain Hierro got the majority of those goals via free kicks.

agree with the sentiment though. bring back goalkeepers taking free kicks too.

What’s the reaction to this lopetegui stuff been like where you are?

Shitty move but I can’t believe some people are siding with the federation. At least from some stuff I’ve seen

reaction has been pretty mental tbh - everyone I’ve spoken to about it has written us off now. most people side with the federation too, which has been weird considering they’re fairly unpopular.

also wouldn’t be surprised if real had a different manager at the beginning of the season.

So many of the favourites are putting unecessary pressure on themselves - Spain by sacking Lopetegui, Belgium, Argentina and Germany with player omissions, France seem quite settled but will have a brainfart at some point. Brazil don’t seem to have many issues, but i’m starting to think i might back a couple of outsiders each way, maybe Colombia, or Denmark, or…no…mustn’t say it, but who knows, if Brazil get a big injury or just have an offday…
