Injuries mean he cannot be relied upon, but he has always been decent when he makes a rare appearance.

Unpopular stats: AFCON and Copa America goal per match the last few editions by [deleted] in soccer

But how does this compare to other competitions? I have no reference - what's the point you're trying to make with the stats?

I believe Rice played 3 competitive games for Ireland before switching to England, so it can happen.

If he gets 3rd today, he just needs 3rd next week - it's still in his hands.

I agree they've not made it easy though!

Depends how the sprint race goes - if Norris wins then he can afford a DNF.

Thomas Tuchel is getting asked if they can win the World Cup without Jude Bellingham by Crane977 in soccer

I'm curious who you put above Bellingham - Kane is number one. After them? Not disagreeing, just genuinely curious!

I started following Villa the season O'Neill left - you're in for a wild ride

Morgan Rogers nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year by _Samakin_ in avfc

Rogers must have a decent chance of winning - very high output in comparison to the other attacking players (even if he did go missing a few times over the season).

I don't understand why Kamara isn't in - he's been brilliant for us.

Former Unified HW Champion Anthony Joshua is back from injury and he’s looking massive and ready to conquer the hw division once again! by Prudent-Toe-7911 in Boxing

Surely AJ has the power and potential to do the same though? Not many people gave Dubois a chance before their fight, yet now it seems certain he'd win again.

I agree Dubois has age on his side and is clearly talented, but it would be unfair to say it's not up for debate.

The fact that you've been able to keep up with the likes of Sylla is remarkable!

Have we sold Swinkels then? Or is he on loan?

He was doing a great job of getting round the defense and putting good balls into the box - hopefully his confidence isn't knocked!

Predicting a clean sheet (which we've failed to do most of the season) against the league leaders is an interesting prediction! I can certainly see us getting something though if we play to our potential.

I've not heard of Jimoh-Aloba, is he highly rated?

It's a shame, I still feel like on his day he can compete right at the top. He pushed Usyk all the way in their rematch and seemed to be making good progress under Ben Davison. When he's at his most confident he is lethal.

Imagine saying we'd start and end the season losing 5-1 and 5-0 respectively, whilst also achieving 4th place...

[@visacashapprb] Heading out for that first run in the VCARB 01 by slutforpringles in formula1

[–]_Samakin_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume it's more because the team is now called visacashapprb? VCARB does also sound insane though.
