I like the anti time wasting rules.

Predecessor sacked after winning a Premier League championship his first year and a top 5 finish the second. Will be interesting to see how much leeway Iraola is given.

Arsenal doesn’t win the Premier League if these rules were adopted in England.

Liverpool fan here. Slot lost 20 match’s across all competitions and his style was too conservative and tactics too rigid. Iraola is going to need some time, but also has a squad that when healthy and fit can compete for major silverware.

Lol. I had signed up for the YTTV sports package to watch these. Seems like there is no point.

This is crazy. There are stars in every World Cup, but I cannot remember this many all playing their last at the same time. This WC will be special for that alone.

Still a niche sport but growing.

Every bit of this is accurate. I like Reyna more than most, but Tillman should start. Ditto the comment about Trusty/Ream.

Otherwise that is a damn good squad. I’m growing more optimistic.

This is ridiculous. A breakdown of every single player. Unreal amount of time and effort put into this. Great guide for watching teams you don’t know much about.

FOX Sports (US English): All 104 matches will be broadcast or streamed in 4K HDR on the FOX Sports app and the Fox One platform by logging in with valid pay-TV credentials

This is a little bit of a lie. I’m fairly certain the games are produced in 1080p HDR and upscaled to 4k. But yes… it will be available in a 4k feed.

Mexico just beat the crap out of Serbia: 5-1. Serbia had at least 1 own goal, but it was still a dominating performance from Mexico from about halfway through the first half, on.

Ivory Coast also beat France today and Iraq tied Spain.

Wow, that’s a wake up call for France and Spain…two of the heavy favorites to win it all.

I would draw no conclusions based on friendly results. Heck, I think Spain only played one WC starter.

I didn’t watch the Spain match.

I was under the impression that France played most of their guys for at l sat part of the game. I’m any case, favorites shouldn’t be losing warmup matches.

So many parallels between FIFA and that bricks and minifigs CEO.
