Poland is showing that having a world class striker isn't guaranteed win. You need others to get him the ball.


The US needs someone as gorgeous at Giroud if we want to ever win the WC.
France has not one but two world class strikers and MBapppe. It's not fair.

A solid midfield core is what will win you games. Take a look at the last few WC winners and their starting midfield, always world class players. Poland lacks this as do many teams. USA has Adams Mckennie and Musah who were in great form this tournament.

Horrific take and he's getting bailed out on encroachment by Lloris and half the french team.

I'm just teasing. He's a forward. He picks and chooses his times to get involved like most of them. Probably the most physically-gifted player in the world right now which tends to make people underestimate his skill.

You laugh but early on, one National Referee in the US told me he thought that was one of the behind the scenes driving reason for VAR.

Yes, having a good midfield and someone who can score are really helpful in winning games.

You still have to score. We have a really good midfield in MMA and a very good front 3. And in 4 years they may be the best collective front 5/6 in the world. They are that good. But what they don't do with any regularity is score. Not yet anyway.

This just in. Phil Foden has the most punchable face in the world. I mean punchable with a baseball bat or brick level punchable.

Probably the same person that encourages Grealish to do that with his hair.

This World Cup hasn't had enough ****housery.

The haircuts and dances and celebrations have been underwhelming so far, and not a single player has been bitten yet…

I guess their strategy is to wait until I post that and then score immediately afterwards…
