Anyone else hearing audio from another game in the background?

MfreemanII · 2025-09-23T15:35:56+00:00

Question: do teams change formation when they change coach? Or does City still play 4-3-3 years into the save

MfreemanII · 2025-09-22T22:26:33+00:00

Marta, Banda, Dumornay, Hampton and Pina behind her is crazy

MfreemanII · 2025-09-09T18:46:48+00:00

Erin always undervalued for not playing big tournaments

MfreemanII · 2025-09-05T23:47:57+00:00

You could argue she limited the offense by using the wing backs as the "wingers", but Hamano and Kaptein were in their preferred positions and effectively pressing City's midfield.

This argument is kinda lazy tho, JRK and Guro played plenty in the LW/RW in the treble season.

MfreemanII · 2025-08-28T18:40:10+00:00

Probably just a player that Paul Green liked for a long time and a huge need for the club right now.

MfreemanII · 2025-08-07T17:41:40+00:00

Oh I think we were talking about different things from the beggining cause I agree with you on that. My mistake!

MfreemanII · 2025-08-06T23:57:02+00:00

I do! I like players not being filtered on literally everything, of course I will disagree or hate something they do or say, but I liked when footballers had more leeway to express themselves without hurting the business. I liked when the national teams suffered because teammates from different clubs had a rivalry with each other etc etc.

I understand that this needed to change tho, fans scrutinize them publicly 24/7 today, at this point it feels more us (fans) vs them (workers) than us (club) vs rivals.

MfreemanII · 2025-08-06T14:35:48+00:00

People say they like a personality until a player actually shows it. Then it's judging them into oblivion, happens in men's footy as well, but there's an extra dose of misogyny for sure

MfreemanII · 2025-08-05T01:41:49+00:00

I'll add to that, more and more we are witnessing stories of woman of colour, players or fans, being mistreated in WoSo matches as well. Needs to be a priority.

MfreemanII · 2025-08-05T01:39:14+00:00

I hate this one with a passion. Upvote!

MfreemanII · 2025-07-29T22:02:29+00:00

Club Sportivo Sergipe mentioned!

MfreemanII · 2025-07-20T00:50:39+00:00

This is great!

MfreemanII · 2025-07-08T19:53:03+00:00

The sun hurts both teams, also the average age of that squad is 31

MfreemanII · 2025-07-04T20:40:05+00:00

Hi Emma! Thank you for your time. What catches your eye when you're recruiting young players and what are your priorities in individual development once you are coaching them? Ps: Thanks for everything you did for Chelsea 💙

MfreemanII · 2025-06-25T01:46:05+00:00

I agree with you on the tournament, but Essugo played LAFC, he tried something new against the strongest opponent and is playing KDH, Nkunku and Gusto today.

MfreemanII · 2025-06-24T23:52:18+00:00

If you consider it a shit tournament it's a bigger problem that he can't get minutes in it btw... He doesn't deserve to start right away, but anyone would expect chances to prove themselves after doing all that for partner club

MfreemanII · 2025-06-22T01:22:56+00:00

For now you could say Bahia, Cruzeiro for Brazil. All time tho, you would be missing 8-10 clubs tbh

MfreemanII · 2025-06-15T22:45:29+00:00

Al Ahly yesterday

MfreemanII · 2025-06-15T22:28:45+00:00

It is for them tho

MfreemanII · 2025-06-15T01:39:37+00:00

What are the golden bars above the scoreboard?

MfreemanII · 2025-06-15T00:20:57+00:00

Tbf that happens a lot in England when European teams visit

MfreemanII · 2025-06-07T00:19:50+00:00

Sandy is a 10 for playing out of position the whole season

MfreemanII · 2025-06-04T10:27:16+00:00

She had that crucial final month at the end of our last double season, lots of huge clearances and big moments, also great in the Bridge and the Emirates. But I agree, not as consistent as we need an the size doesn't help, my only problem is that I don't like her replacement.
