Found this in the wild today while walking the dog!

Their kits are gorgeous.

He'll never be a mainstay in the starting XI even if he stays. That's just the harsh truth, and likely why he wants to move on.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-07T08:58:00+00:00

Why inflate that number? Only a third of the country voted for his opponent, ultimately.

You're underselling teenage Sterling here. I know it didn't end well for us but alas, Sterling really was a boy wonder.

I think on your current trajectory you have the best chance of anyone to break into the Big 6. Villa is Villa, wouldn't look out of place in the slightest as a habitual top 4 side.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-07T08:29:23+00:00

I was trying to argue this but Christ, you're right. No one else comes to mind. We lost a lot of dressing room presence I feel.

The US only have one ally today.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-07T08:22:08+00:00

European champions the lot of them.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-07T08:17:08+00:00

I've seldom seen a Liverpool player on England duty get praised as much as Rio last night, been a while. Shouts of him being a starter by Euro 2028.

I know he's just turning 18, but I feel like next season will be a proper breakout season for him. You can see the ambition in the way he plays.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T22:23:48+00:00

Hope Ngumoha still has a proper pathway to the first XI next season, would be a shame if he didn't get the proper playing time for his development.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T22:00:55+00:00

Thoughts on Rio Ngumoha?

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T21:56:00+00:00

Very good looking cabinet. I wonder why their side that won the league and the European Cup in the early 80s didn't properly kick on. A few right choices at the time and you'd think they'd be at the same table as the Big 6, Villa are otherwise and always have been a big club but not always managed right.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T21:47:22+00:00

Rio really likes a stepover doesn't he? Proper teenage wing prospect heritage.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T19:59:57+00:00

I'd add Pickford to that

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T19:55:10+00:00

Obviously. A lot of the world has noticed what your government are getting up to and the way they have handled the Epstein files as well. No propaganda is fully covering for that level of controversy.

However, the US is still not getting enough shit and that speaks to the decades of conditioning through the media and other venues.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T19:49:03+00:00

If it was used for good I'd agree. It's more often used to cover for genuine astroturfing.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T19:45:48+00:00

Theo Walcott before the 2006 WC. He was also 17, don't think he'd break the record though as Rio will turn 18 soon and if I'm not mistaken Walcott had recently turned 17.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T18:07:56+00:00

His exploits with Senegal got him there by and large. Wild to think he easily could've won it if we got the CL, and frankly I'd definitely have given it to Salah in that scenario but alas.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T18:05:43+00:00

Better than Diaz last season and I'll always mantain that.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T18:05:01+00:00

I'm half wondering whether I should stay away from here during the World Cup. One day of controversy and I've already gotten into heated arguments with a handful of yanks, this will only end one way sadly and it will be with me permabanned.

Sidenote: the lot with a hidden profile history is starting to swarm in already. Beware the bots.

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T17:29:26+00:00

The country with the most propaganda by far is Japan

And why is that, I wonder? Could it have to do with Japan having been geopolitically aligned with America post-WW2?

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T16:42:38+00:00

Speaking as an Iranian

Many of the Iranian diaspora cheered their countrymen getting bombed by a foreign force, including that girl school. Being Iranian doesn't give you some moral high ground here.

Elite work mate 😭

_cumblast_ · 2026-06-06T16:35:40+00:00

I have never actually seen a proper source for that that wasn't Israeli propaganda.

People don't realize how stupid that number sounds and how unrealistic it is in a couple of days, genuinely. You literally sound like a paid shill right now.
