Standard of this game has been abysmal.

Aussies could play til next year and not score.

Yanks could do with someone of Roy Wegerle's calibre to bring on to kill the game off.

I'm not. Paraguay and Australia look Championship standard if that. USA will get battered by the first decent team they play.

Is it just me or does anyone else start singing the theme to Channel 4's Gazzetta Football Italia when Italiano's name is mentioned?

Only someone called Bruce Barbie could top it.

An og Frank Sinclair or Wout Faes would be proud of.

Donny No Mates has been saying that about every country though.

Hydration break in an air-conditioned stadium

CONCACAF minnows getting smashed at the World Cup is nothing new. Hungary 10-1 El Salvador from 1982...

Lots of competition for the most Mickey Mouse national anthem so far.

He was thrust into a bad situation after Cifuentes was sacked, but that Southampton game was the first time I actually believed we were going to get relegated. His game management in that was so poor and that result really knocked what little fight the squad had left right out of them.

Ridiculous to think we lost only 3 more games and conceded only 2 more goals than Hull. They are going to need some major investment just to not break Derby's record low PL points tally.

Head-to-head results are the first tie-breaker in La Liga.

The patented King Power "fuch it he'll do" approach to appointing managers.

Whatever the result Rick Pisspoor has to go. Reminds me of every know-nothing PE teacher I had at school.

Subs: Leitzig, Neville, Payne, Swaby, Goodwin, Ayane, Van Egmond, Williams, Mouchon

His horsey Topteam just won at Kempton so probably not.

Iheanacho with the winner for Celtic at Dundee.

Foden and Palmer simply can't go to the World Cup. Both are a complete waste of a squad space.

Maybe he's a big fan of Marillion.

I'm assuming Walne, Whinney & King are academy players that have been called up to flesh out the bench...

Rosenior has turned into a complete prat, which is a shame because there was a promising manager in there at one point as evidenced by him running rings around Maresca in their head-to-head battles in 2023/24.
