World Cup 2022

Everton have completely killed the buzz around a World Cup.

Thanks.

As a self proclaimed internationalist, do you just root for everyone to win?

I hope the best team wins, as long as it's not the Crusader scum.

For me Begium have by far the best players.

Yet they have the worst manager.

Thanks.

I’d argue they’ve made the buzz better.

Watching and enjoying football is making me feel excited. Watching 8 hours of football a day equally.

Just going to try and forget Everton for a few weeks..... Canada ?? finally back for the first time since 86 is enough to get me feeling good about the game for a while !

Could be a master stroke for the Euros.

Tuchel has proven throughout his managerial career that he has a short lifespan, and is divisive across teams… see PSG, BVB & Chelsea.

But that spell working with Bellingham, and the other young core could be fantastic. (See what he did with Chelsea and their young core).

That said, Southgate could have a fantastic World Cup, however, I feel he’s coming to the end of his tenure, with it all becoming a bit stale now.

Agreed. Annoying isn't it! Just a a couple of wins and we would have been content.

One of the South American teams will win it imo.

I agree that there are signs Southgate might be coming to an end now (I'm not one that wants him to go myself unless the WC is a disaster). Tuchel is a great manager but, I don't mean this in a Brexit way but I'd prefer an English manager I think.

I think England missed a huge opportunity in not tapping up Potter, personally.

I think England is the perfect fit for him, he’s a little more adventurous than Southgate, which would bode well.

Chelsea’s not the job for him, and it’ll be ships passing unless England hold tight.

Tuchel wouldn’t be a bad choice by any means though.

Yeah Potter and Howe are the obvious ones. Potter might be out of the job soon enough anyway.

Hmmm. Would think he could find a very good job in club football but maybe the rhythm of international football is more appealing for him?

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Anyone a link to one of those world cup comps you have to predict the score of every match? There's usually a spreadsheet doing the rounds.

Howe is long gone opportunity now.

Potter is the one which fits, and has the lowest transition time. Wonder if it’ll come to it. I’d be very interested to see if he fits the mould?
