i'm sure he's biracial, his momma is probably white. you have nothing to teach him. he's probably worried that his future white descendants might grow up in a world where they can't paint themselves to look like ruud gullit. gotta nip it in the bud.

I have been suspect about that AFC AJax account for a long time, you can tell he is just another racist scumbag if you pay attention. The stuff is purely racist no way you spin it, you shouldn't have to paint your face black to show support.

Thinking about if carefully, England might have to sacrifice Foden for the better of the team..... Rice isn't good enough on the half turn to receive the ball from defence but he's great at anticipating danger. They need to either play Wharton or Mainoo in front of the defence, with Rice and Bellingham as box to box 8's, Saka on the right and Gordon on the left. Kane or Watkins upfront. Not having a left footed left back and Foden drifting to the middle makes the pitch congested. When Trippier gets the ball he's isolated and cuts in on his right and it's all a bit too predictable.

Watching Spain today was night and day from England.

Pedri plays the 10 and stays very close to Morata, so the focal point of the team always has an option, when an Italy attrack broke down Pedri had so much space to drift into, the centre backs are occupied with Morata who doesn't drop deep like Harry Kane.

Ruiz is a technically gifted box to box player, a unique player he can win the ball, link defence and attack and is very pressure resistant on the half turn, Italy in the second half basically gave up on pressing him, this takes so much pressure off the rest of the team. Rodri best in the world at what he does protecting the defence and progressing the play, two footed as well which make his passing angles hard to read.

Two very different wingers in Williams and Yamal. Yamal can stay wide but prefers to cut in and link up the play and can just glide past players in the middle of the pitch as if they aren't there. Williams is more of an old school winger a throwback, keeps the pitch wide and the defence on the back foot. Spain created about 7 or 8 clearcut chances from different patterns of play.

It's important to have technically proficient players in defence and midfield who can keep the ball under pressure and forwards who are different from each other and hard to read.

England don't have a 10. And Morata was amazing today. He was Kane better than Kane, he dropped deep too. Only difference is BOTH wings with Spain are true wingers and are wide until they cut into the box instead of packing the area in front (Yamal is still wider than Foden was today), and Pedri has no issues assessing the situation and seeing if he needs to run in or collect and refresh the ball.

Morata linked up quite often. That ball he put in that Nico missed was amazing. No one on that England team besides Trent is even THINKING of attempting that pass.
