I think that could just be a weird American quirk, their domestic league is a bit of a joke and geographically for most they're likely to be a large distance away from even their local top flight side, many of them probably support an English side with more vigour than they do an MLS side.
So it's more likely that they would favour Country over Club, especially when you factor in good old 'Murcanism.
But yeah, England boring AF. Same as you, I've had little to no interest since '98. Euro 2000 I tried to get into it but if anything I had disdain for the side. A couple of times since I've tried to get into the spirit almost out of peer pressure from society, or because of a large Spurs contingent, but more often than not I'm happy to see them fail as I can't tolerate the thought of Shamgate having a WC or EC win to his name.
Wrong thread mate...
Here you go:
Just coming in to post that, it’s great.
I expect the Ange bit will be used against him but he means it as a compliment.
He seems such a good lad. I’d have him back at the club in some capacity when he retires no doubt.
I wouldn’t. The fact is the tactical work that Conte did was BS. It was paint by numbers football drilling the team in how you want to play is actually very tactical and the easiest way to get your tactics across.
I still love Eric Dier and I’m pretty sure he still loves me.
Well Saka loves him used him as a blind...
Ooh, I'm shocked to find you Conte-bashing.
Again.
You sound a tad like a labour voter who slanders everyone else all the time.
Bayern fans like him a lot. They recognise his obvious flaws but many seem to prefer him to both Upamecano and Kim.
So training against statutes is worthwhile training. Pulling youth players out of their training sessions to act as cones seems worthwhileOoh, I'm shocked to find you Conte-bashing.
Again.
You sound a tad like a labour voter who slanders everyone else all the time.
Did I spot Eric on the right touch line providing a wonderful pass to Sane for the Munich penalty?
Dunno. but I saw him back off Saka and letting him shoot, while he stood there with his arms behind his back when Arse went 1 up.
Aye, he did that too.
So many agendas. He didn't 'back off' he just held his ground.
If you had any interest in what actually happened you would see that Alphonso Davies completely loses Saka's movement, giving him about 3 yards of space in the box and the time to bend his shot.
I didn't say Dier was the only one responsible. Just that he still does the same Dier shit he's always done. Rarely, if ever, proactively tries to win a ball or make a challenge. Back off and/or stand still and hope for the best.
