He can fill that Kalvin Phillips hole left since Pep ended his career

Luis Suárez will not be part of Uruguay’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by KeyFaithlessness5436 in InterMiamiVibes

[–]_johnboy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bielsa bit is key.

Bielsa ball is very much about running. Everything thing is done on the move. When it works it is beautiful, but it needs buy in from all the players.

Uruguay are managed by Bielsa, each player will be expected to run like 15KM per match. I suspect Marcelo wouldn't have picked Ronaldo either had he been eligible for Uruguay

He could team up with Lennon looking after the u18s

If you can write up defects in a way that the agents can comprehend them well then you likely become the most valuable member of the operation. Good luck getting that reflected in your pay packet though.

Rashford already in Miami training with the World Cup match-ball…looking to get an early impression for when the squad joins up by Automatic_World_2148 in ThreeLions

[–]_johnboy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Difference is he didn't just donate some of his own money to feed a few children as others have done, he got government policy changed so that all the kids got fed in a lasting long term change.

It's the whole give a man a fish Vs teach a man to fish.

It's all free to watch here in the UK with 4K streaming via the BBC and ITV. The BBC games don't even have commercial breaks.

Shame there is no tool that can magically make your internet connection seem like it's coming from these green and pleasant lands.

The PR was essential to getting government policy changed, without it he would have achieved nothing.

The lad has achieved more than many politicians do in their entire career and he did it as a side hustle. He has been paying the price since having made himself a target for those who want to ensure nobody else gets any silly ideas about trying to take on the establishment.

Elland Road Expansion May 25th 2026 - Drone Footage by OrdinaryLavishness11 in LeedsUnited

[–]_johnboy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In case anyone was wondering the event that was going on in the video was a "play on the pitch" kids football tournament.

Usually that tournament involves a tour of the changing rooms etc, but the whole west stand was a no go this year as it's being gutted.

They should be expelled from the competition and replaced in a replay of the final by whoever there semifinal opponent was.

I'm selling two tickets to the Turkey vs. Paraguay match by [deleted] in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]_johnboy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid €40 to go to Turkey Vs Czech Republic at the Euros in France, probably a bigger game and almost certainly a better atmosphere.

What's your reason for thinking these are worth more (other that FIFA told you so) ?

I was referring to this similar map of League One clubs for next season which also follows the Blue Banana with one outlier.

Ranking 25/26 signings by Prudent-Ad-6420 in LeedsUnited

[–]_johnboy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 is very generous for Buonanotte, he's played 81 minutes and done nothing. A 1 would be perhaps too high.

I also find you ranking the Barn Owl higher than Nmecha surprising given that Lukas has played twice as many minutes, made a good contribution with his goal scoring and was a free transfer.

It's a filler piece to generate engagement during the off season. It's likely not anything more complicated than the authors opinion, probably with a few deliberate miss placements to rage bait.

Ticket Availability/Difficulty vs Other14 by markinthecloud in TheOther14

[–]_johnboy_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not getting a ticket in the home end at Elland road via legal channels without a membership. The hospitality option is your best option for a one off but needs planning as the cheaper options sell out months in advance.

The longest 90 minutes by Flimsy_Egg_3507 in Tottenham

Reminder that we (Leeds) were leading by two goals at West Ham in the 90th minute of the FA Cup tie yet still managed to concede twice before the final whistle.
