@Pr0dx1 @Mhoni_Hiyst @nonewthing wrong. intelligence cannot be taught. you can teach the rules and the game, but for you to create on the pitch requires a different brain. Largely why messi is still the best in the world regardless of all the physicality he doesnt have

@Mhoni_Hiyst @nonewthing Football isn’t a track meet but intelligence can be taught, being 6’3 and being able to run quicker then everyone else cannot be taught The era of 5’9 and below being tall enough for football is coming to an end. It’s a physical competition at the end of the day.

Yes, the Americans are correct. If their best athletes played football, they will dominate it. 👍🏽 There is a reason England and France are the most dominant nations. And the United States has exactly the same juice.

@KistianoRolandu @CFCXKBFC @Iewdawg bro comparing nations league to world cups.😂😂😂😂😂 It was created for testing tactics

@CFCXKBFC @Iewdawg Ye definitely they can't win anything without him right?? 🤡

cemented his legacy further. 39 year old carrying 10 planks of wood to a world cup final.

@The_Next_Joe @Heryourday_G @Flickwagen00 @mahrezfort If argentina pressed thhe score line would be unwatchable. The only way they could’ve won is penalties given the difference in quality

@Heryourday_G @Flickwagen00 @mahrezfort I didn’t say they should go all out, I said they should play with the intention to get a win, there’s a difference. It’s the World Cup final, they were the reigning champions with back to back Copa America titles, it’s not exactly a mismatch on paper if you factor in Messi

The only 3 people I could give two shits about in Argentina are Messi, Di Maria and Scaloni the rest can genuinely fucking piss off. His planned would’ve worked if Enzo had a working brain and above 50 IQ

@byedawae @s0helpme6od @GrizzlyMonster_ the fact that you cant choose who you play with is what makes it harder. Big clubs generally spend on th best players and automatically have a chance to go ucl. Look me straight in the eye and tell me PsG back yo back ucl is more worth than arg going bak to back because no

@s0helpme6od @GrizzlyMonster_ no. luck levels out as the sample size gets bigger. ex, underdogs win more in March Madness as compared to the NBA playoffs because of single elimination. plus, in football, the luck comes from the supporting cast for country. players (generally) can't choose who they play with.

Is a back to back World Cup not harder than a 3-peat

@Salt8211001 @SinhaleseSavage its your bias against messi that you only focus on refereeing inconsistencies in their game. Fact is, refereeing is just inconsistent and bad in every game, but doesnt get the same attention as argentina. England game was probably the best in terms of refereeing the entire wc

@SinhaleseSavage Not a conspiracy to say they are very clearly refereed differently to everyone else because of their own high standards for foul play and Messi’s international icon status. Refs are scared to make the right decisions

the whole "rigged for Argentina" online discourse is a great case study on how the general population is frighteningly easy to manipulate with simple propaganda. and how it's especially effective on the less educated, or "casuals"/"larpers"

@gphi0711 @CMeds88 @Ankara___Messii @NealGardner_ They had the easiest path? They struggles against all of them. Every single was a late winner with opponents who beat much stronger oppon

@CMeds88 @Ankara___Messii @NealGardner_ True. And I will never take that away from Argentina and Messi. They grinded and never gave up. They 100% deserve to be in the final. But like I said, they were given the easiest group and path🤷🏻

Before Messi, no player had ever won the World Cup golden ball twice. In a few days, he’s almost certain to win his third. Remember when folks questioned his international legacy? 😂

@rajsinghchohan Paredes is really on Jude

Would consider flipping Jude & Rice Romero & Paredes combo has handled Jude’s dribbles quite well so far. Lisandro on a yellow card, target him with Jude RCM.

@rajsinghchohan anderson spence doing good job with messi so far

England are dominating the 2nd balls and also getting the long balls into the wingers to stick. Can see the idea behind Rogers RW selection. Makes sense to keep going longer.

@rajsinghchohan Digne just needed to use his body and hold yamal off. Lack of awareness there

That’s my favourite trick. Initially play dead and pretend that you’re not interested in pressing the guy about to receive the ball, then when he turns his back to you, intensely sprint at him and shock him into messing up. So smart Yamal.

@rajsinghchohan @MisterCuler Insane that you got it perfect

@MisterCuler Yup I have England Argentina France Spain semis.

Bookies overrating Portugal & underrating Argentina imo. My bracket has an Argentina vs Portugal quarter-final and I expect Argentina to win that. Their 4 man midfield can compete with Portugal’s greatest strength. And Alvarez-Messi clears their attack. Arg defensive nous also >

@PremLeaguePanel Palacios easy replace. Left footed too gives better angles at lcm

What is for sure: another average performance means that Scaloni should not continue to select that same narrow Enzo-MacAllister-Paredes-RDP midfield 4. At least one of them (likely RDP who look physically declined) has to be dropped for a different dynamic.

@TheSpursReport_ @szyexcl @Joshr949 Yea would love to add a rw as kudus depth

@szyexcl @Joshr949 im guessin leao must be priority number 1? then mabe another winger on top of him?

rafael leão, savinho and antonio nusa all under consideration currently. #thfc have held positive talks recently with rafael leão’s camp.

@JBC199923 @SebOnFootball Spot on and we effectively got van hecke as a swap for someone who’s never played a game.

@SebOnFootball Let’s be honest - even if he becomes great, a CB is unlikely to ever go for more than £80m and therefore we’ve only lost £30m (plus we would get 20% of that anyway) if we to buy him back

Getting £50m for a 19 year old that has never kicked a ball for your club is something you can’t massively complain about. Basically a straight swap for Van Hecke - better for us in the short term undoubtedly…the long term, well we’ll find that out

@kingyoungwizzy @NealGardner_ Doesnt need to when he’s achieved everything at the biggest stage

@NealGardner_ What a manager he is but can he do it else where

Seeing all these very talented national teams get consistently let down by average managers, and then you have Mr Lionel Scaloni…

@TheSpursExpress Pull out of deal if it gets beyond 90m. I genuinely dont think he’s worth that. You could get a kone + camara and be fine, get around the same quality

🥇🚨| Behind the scenes, #Tottenham and Manchester United are driving the process every single day, they are making verbal proposals to West Ham. It is about making an agreement with West Ham. West Ham start at £85m, it could go up with both clubs competing, but it is also not just about the fee, but also the payment terms (for West Ham). Mateus Fernandes will go to whichever club are able to reach an agreement with West Ham. @FabrizioRomano

@imoutofideashit @wstgoat7 Do you know how much of a burden and pressure it is to run all the attacks of your team every single time for 90 mins. Try doing that for 20 years. Mbappe Haaland couldn't run a game for 90 if they tried

@wstgoat7 Messi looked pretty ass today mostly to be honest. I think his second goal was very good because he worked for it but his entire team mostly just forces the ball to him whenever they attack which is a luxury that mbappe and haaland don't have to that degree

It must be absolutely brutal for Mbappe and Haaland, being at that elite level of football and in their physical prime, to realize that the nearly 39-year-old guy on vacation in the United States is still a better football player than they are.

@mikannism @omegabyte07 Why edcr declined? He’d do really the way he’s playing

@omegabyte07 Tbf this isn't a "Hax-only" thing. Everyone who autoqualled for lan were in top 3 in last 3 playoffs. By that logic everyone except Infume and Aquacorde should've had to play in lcq. Also Edcr declined the invitation, so they can't base it solely on the most recent playoffs.

holy shit thats kinda Aura

@szyexcl @joost_blaauwhof No way. Luka is the future, if he doesn want to be here sell him for 100m outside prem

@joost_blaauwhof 🤝

De transfer van Jan Paul van Hecke komt steeds dichterbij. Mogelijk voor zondag. Maar of de huidige ontwikkelingen voor NAC gunstig zijn? Brighton & Hove Albion wil Luka Vuskovic in de deal betrekken en zou de verdediger van Spurs zo’n 30 miljoen pond waard vinden. #NACpraat

@TheSpursExpress @David_Ornstein Senesi van hecke pairing, omds the buildup

🥇 Valuation rejected, but talks continue in bid to strike agreement. Dutch international is close to Roberto De Zerbi. #THFC @David_Ornstein

@TottenhamTiers All talks. Where was he when we are fighting relegation. Toothless

🗣️ Peter Charrington’s message to #Tottenham fans Dear Supporters, On Sunday, despite a season that gave you so little, you gave everything. A full stadium, full voice, full belief, until the final whistle. I have thought carefully about how to begin this letter, and in the end that moment said it better than I can. It is why we owe you honesty about where we have fallen short, and what we are committed to now. Last September, we recognised that something seismic had to change at Spurs. The Lewis family stepped in and authorised a full reset. That decision was not taken lightly, and it came later than it should have. But what has been put in motion is real, and it marks a genuine break from what had come before. As part of that process, we discovered some uncomfortable truths. The qualities that make Spurs distinct, our football, our ambition, the connection between the team and its supporters, had been allowed to fade. Football success had not been driving our decisions. We did not have the right expertise in key roles. We did not build squads good enough to compete in the most demanding league in the world. Two 17th place finishes in a row is not acceptable, and we will not dress it up as anything other than falling well short of what this Club expects. Since September, we have restructured leadership across the Club, with a refreshed executive and football structure. Most of this team are already in post and others will arrive in the coming weeks. The Board are committed to this leadership group and will give them the stability and support they need to run this Club in the right way. Roberto De Zerbi is signed as Men's Head Coach for five years, a reflection of our belief in his ability and our commitment to build back to where we need to be. He is passionate, committed and positive in everything he does, and represents the kind of football and ambition that Tottenham Hotspur should stand for. Our commitments to you are clear: • We will build a squad, led by Roberto as Head Coach, with the right blend of experience, youth and leadership to compete at the highest levels of Premier League and European football.
• We will invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen, with this summer representing an important first step in that work.
• We will continue to modernise our football operation, with a significant focus on raising standards across medical and performance.
• We will increase investment in the Academy to ensure that the pathway from youth football to the first team is one of the strongest in the country.
• We will build on a strong season for Spurs Women by continuing to invest in a world-class women's team, led by Martin Ho. Since becoming Chairman, I have realised that Spurs fans are built differently. I have seen it over and over again in the last nine months, across every generation, in every conversation. Even in the darkest of seasons, you showed up and carried this team. That loyalty is not something we take for granted. It is something we are determined to be worthy of. There has been speculation about ownership and the future direction of the Club. Let us be direct. Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale. The Lewis family are wholly committed to this Club and to this rebuild. They will provide the stability and investment needed at every level to move us forward, and they see that as a long-term responsibility, not a short-term fix. This season fell well short of what Tottenham Hotspur demands. We must be in the fight with the best teams in this league, every season, and we are rebuilding this Club with that standard in mind. This Club lives in the hearts of everyone who has ever loved it. It has been carried through living rooms and stands, weekends and long journeys home. We will get back to where we belong. Peter Charrington
