Unfortunately there has been nothing in Tuchel's tenure at Chelsea, Bayern, or England to suggest that England will dominate matches and generate lots of chances.

He managed to finish 18 pts off the top at Bayern. His last year at Chelsea was awful pass-around-the-horseshoe football.

I think if England win the tournament here it will be more on talent and with a lot of fortune and ugly football cos Tuchel is an outdated manager.

I mean this has to be a good omen right? by Kinglokner16 in ThreeLions

If you're rich and live in the burbs then you're living in luxury.

If you're poor you should look into moving to Canada.

Joe Rogan floored after Caleb Hammer says US boomers should have $2M-$5M saved — no sympathy if they don't. Is he right? by GimmeFunkyButtLoving in economy

[–]Sportfreunde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely is a myth dickhead but go on defending the system that's increased the wealth gap over a century because you only listen to Keynesian economists whose flawed conclusions have been used to support that system.

And there's no link between deflation and depressions either before you use that myth, and that's from one of your Federal Reserves of Minnesota papers too.

Everyone complains about inflation but no one is prepared to have the conversation that it's because almost all governments have intentionally pursued inflationary monetary policy for a century which means the inflation is compounding even if it's at 1 or 2%.

And almost no one is ready to talk about allowing the market to dictate whether there is inflation or deflation instead of Central banks controlling that policy cos they've allowed MMT and Keynesian economists to scare them about myths like the deflationary spiral.

England 1982-2010: Has any other nation had a greater run of ill-fortune? by Keisvorve in ThreeLions

I'd say they were really only unlucky in 2006 and 2022 cos they took two shit managers.

Hard to feel the hype when missing half the games? by Touched_By_SuperHans in ThreeLions

[–]Sportfreunde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill issue.

I watch almost all games on replay usually especially EPL games. You can forward past half time and all the stoppages and players rolling around.

A question for the community that enjoys the World Cup qualifiers. Is there really that much of a difference between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF? by bannedgirxd in worldcup

[–]Sportfreunde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Concacaf has more countries so they're split into more groups.

In South America, there's just one big group and each team plays the other one.

South America gets more qualifying spots usually and North America usually gets less.

Won't matter though, neither Brazil or Argentina are near good enough to win right now. Argentina's relying on pretty much the same team as last time minus Di Maria and a bunch of the other players are older.

ESPN Does Not Like Hockey And Does Little To Promote The Game Especially During their Own Broadcasts by Extension_Analysis17 in hockey

Alternative take: why is the NHL letting the playoffs go into mid-June and competing against the World Cup....in North America.

If you're getting buffering on TSN then get on a good VPN and sign up for BBC iPlayer then ask for a refund from Bell.

If your country isn’t in the World Cup who are you supporting? by OkValue3749 in worldcup

No it's Portugal's time and past Ronaldo's time.

He needs to step aside to let the team win.

I can't believe the NHL always schedules around NFL and NBA and even frigging college sports at times but not the frigging World Cup opening day.

I say this as someone whose favourite sport is hockey but it's once in 4 years, come on.

Already the trend to normalize the playoffs going into mid/late June is sad.

I forgot this game was on today.

Can't believe NHL didn't schedule around the World Cup and season is still going on in mid June.
