    2026 FIFA World Cup

    I suspect this all is being added to the world cup hosted mostly by the United States at least partially as cover for fifa's greed...they can blame it on the Americans when the reality is that fifa enriched itself with over the top broadcasting fees while at the same time assuring those same...

    Overrated modern day players

    Nobody told you he is imperious out there? Every pundits tells me so, so it must be true.

    ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

    Took me 2 seconds to get it. Paramount plus, the streaming service for CBS in the United States. They stream the carabao cup amongst other th8ngs, so watch it as long as our cup runs go, i.e. not very much.

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    I agree that the gap will be narrowed, just that there is still a gap and there will be some impact. It may be as well that players would be better able to recover between games than previously if they overextended themselves during the game, but that there isn't as much impact in game or vice...

    It changes the way you play. Pressing for 90 minutes just isn't possible

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    I largely agree. But they've been moving teams around like this during world cups for pretty much all of the modern era. America is big. The only way to grasp it (more than intellectually) is to drive it. We had a friend visiting from the UK 20 years ago. He was on a work trip to sandiego and...

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    I live in Southern California and had a peek at the prices for the 2 games in Los angeles for the usa team. I have 3 kids that play, so would need to take them with me. So, I guess we might go to a fan zone just have some of the feeling of the thing.

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    There's a reason the longstanding rule of thumb was that if it was played in South America, a South American team won. If if was played in Europe, a European team won. Of course with the 5 subs now, that is a bit of a leveler. Playing in Mexico city at altitude, with polluted air, heat and...

    Match Thread Everton 3-0 Notts Forest. Sat 6th December

    I like how tarks told him to take a bow. All the other players looked delighted for him (except probably beto)

    When you put it that way, I think I'd like to go for a visit.

    Match Thread Everton 3-0 Notts Forest. Sat 6th December

    All I really know about Finland is they were conquered by Russia and the people have a reputation for being armed to the teeth and moody, yet there still aren't tons of mass shootings...oh and school starts at 10 or something.

    Match Thread Bournemouth 0-1 Everton. Tue Dec 2. 7.30

    I've never understood why people take this position (nothing personal). Sure, the top teams in the premier league make the bottom ones look incompetent. That's because they are amongst the top teams in the world. If you take the 10th placed premier league team and have them play the 10th...

    Christmas 2025

    Had a similar experience with them, but with desks for the kids. Ordered 3, 2 arrived slightly damaged, got two more off them, but they didn't want the originals back. Wound up with 5 of them and gave the 2 slightly dinged ones away. Have the Christmas tree from them too, except it is a bigger...

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    Not sure how you can pin this on the Americans. None of the people involved are american. I dont think it does. In Russia or Korea you would have a massive shift in attendance based upon the home team advancing, but amrruca is so multicultural that it is hardly important which teams go through.

    2025/26 Idrissa Gana Gueye

    Every time I have seen the man over the past decade, I have felt he is a beautiful positive man that I want to shake his hand. One of my favourite players over the years despite his limitations (please don't shoot). He has had a moment out of character. I have had some moments out of character...

    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    We have to remember as well that the laws of the game are written for all age groups. If this was 12 year olds, you probably want them sent off. I get that you referee differently for different levels, and I agree with you as well that subjectivity is built into the long. I agree with your post.
