Didn't know Christmas hams were already on sale, must be part of Lyon's gastronomic tradition.

Mirth what? y'all haven't seen CR7 doing stuff like that recently? 😉

He's having a blast out here in the MLS. No pressure - doing what he loves and loving what he does. Good thing is pace was never his main thing so he's not going to lose much in that regard. Could easily play till way over 40 if he stays uninjured.

    England has quality almost everywhere don't they

      Come on Zinchenko! Send Saka and Rice packing.

      and then play Jordan Henderson in CM

        Henderson, Maguire, Madison. I get they’ve were already close to qualification, but what on Earth is the gaffer doing? Philips on the bench.
        He’s left players like Sterling and White completely at home.

        Good feature with probably the best LW in the league. Most of his goals are spectacular and the way he analyse situations, you can tell he is super intelligent.

          Claudius I think it's a tough one. As a pure winger Mitoma is head and shoulders above most of the rest of the league in beating his man, delivering a telling cross or cutting in.

          People like Rashford, Martinelli etc are more like forwards on the left rather than a winger.

            Clrnc It's a great mini-feature. Cliché, but the way Mitoma speaks about the first touch reminds me of Musashi's inadvertently hilarious commentaries in THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS ... stuff such as "One must always strike first. This should be studied with care." 😅

              Feint east, shoot west.
              Beseige the flanks to rescue the middle.

              I love the way Szcz just stops and looks at him.

              That's absolutely ridiculous. Can we just go back to one country for the World Cup instead, and not somewhere that builds stadiums with indentured servants.

              What a terrible fucking idea...the last Euros was bad enough playing across one continent but three!? I'm pretty sure no actual football fan wants this.

              Morocco, Spain and Portugal isn't a big deal, all relatively local and gives a country like Morocco a chance to actually host.

              South America seems pointless and a logistical and environmental nightmare though. If you want to celebrate 100 years by having it there why not just award it to some South American countries in the first place.

                Relatively speaking, they're all close but if you're a fan, that's still quite a lot of travelling.
