Question: Just peeped the England/Germany match. The England defender laying down on the pitch for set pieces-free kicks. I've never seen that before. Has that always been around? Didn't know something like that was allowed

England most likely will make it to the finals but I don’t see them winning it. If they do

Perfect examples of why.

She beefs with everyone.

Yeah, she even had issues with Wenger I think. I can see why he got her as an agent.



Need a Zidane figure to work with this crew.

I'll take Bissouma or Camavinga, Arteta and Edu out here selling dreams and lies

Yeah it's become prevalent in the last two or three seasons.

Lmao fans let these useless board members off the hook big time.
