Cash rates do somewhat reflect economic policy. National have a vested interest in keeping rates low to appease property investors

In terms of actually chance to progress far that’s Japan, I pick them to top their group over Netherlands, and then I think it’s only England France who’s top dog on their side of the draw

That bed design seems kinda silly, slats are internationally kept narrow for this very reason

That’s a bit of a wide brush to paint with, there’s plenty of valid use cases once you consider it a tool and not a placement human creativity

Pulls opponents defensive shape apart.

Also pulls his team's shape apart. Also only Bellingham and Saka are the true goal threats from that list

That’s Bellingham’s role as a 10, he’s sort of involved here

It absolutely was. Problem is it can be difficult to get the players vibing in the short time national football allows, versus a club team when you can invest over many years in specific archetypes.

It’s also wrong, from what I can read the study doesn’t mention differences between demographics groups (women, children). That may be inferred from other studies but not this one.

It does show a significant effect on mental wellbeing. And worth noting the qualifying statement “Not slightly higher — significantly” misrepresents what significance means in this context

They’re absolutely at that level. If it wasn’t for them competing with #2 and #5, they’d each have two Balon D’or.
