This England World Cup run will only operate in the extremes, they’ll either crash out early or win the lot.

If he’s got Dan Burn as his aerially dominant CB, good luck with that one.

Fascinated by how Tuchel seems to want both of his CB’s to have very similar profiles.

Just read Stokes is planning to play RLODC too 😭, someone stop that man why would you do that?

All the lads busting a gut to get into nick whilst the coach had to be told to come back earlier so he could watch them play. Hope everyone’s taking notes.

Jamie Smith and Josh Tongue turned down IPL replacement deals… that’s not something you used to see. Feels like a pattern now with English players. Whether it’s workload, national commitments, or just being more selective, they’re not jumping at every Indian Premier League opportunity anymore. Something’s definitely shifting here.

Talents getting signed early, too much coaching, too much focus on efficiency, prioritisation of athleticism over technique.
These boys will have the Joga Bonito drilled out of them before they even know who they are.

The great irony is, so much of the modern Brazilian football is shaped in the vision of the European game and the last true, pure, uncut Brazilian, Neymar is criticised in Europe for not being European enough.
English
Completely lost their way. The Europeanisation of Brazilian football has killed them.

There’s a whole generation of football fans who have never seen a great Brazilian men’s team. Damn shame what’s happened to the Seleção

When he’s direct and backing his shooting he’s unbelievable, just doesn’t happen enough. And you can he’s starting to lose that burst ever so slightly.

Don’t mind trying to take pressure off of guys but how do you stray so far away from an elite performance culture? These are competitive sports people, they want to compete and you’re dicking around.
English
Very much noted at how Livingstone, Bairstow and Foakes have revealed all this in very recent succession. I think it’s a damning reflection of those outside the team see the current setup.

Don’t say anything, don’t say anything, don’t say anything….

Ben Foakes talking about England getting rid of Bruce French as wicket-keeping coach and having Keaton Jennings do it instead is staggering for a supposedly elite sporting team I find the logic baffling A really interesting interview thecricketer.com/Topics/premium…
English
The first open goal of their ‘fresh start’ where there’s no selector available to fill in for the head coach and they completely bungle it. Well done.
English
You know sacking people after you didn’t sack them after the Ashes review is still doing things differently.

ECB have noticed jarring optics of Brendon McCullum turning up just days before the NZ series and their insistence he’s now a changed man so are now reviewing things to see if he can get to the UK a bit earlier. Piece for @TheiPaperSport inews.co.uk/sport/cricket/…
