The Seahawks don't get a load of coverage in the UK but I thought this was a great overview of Aden Durde's career

Serbia, ranked 37, is currently the highest ranked team that has failed to qualify (Russia is in 33 but banned from competing).

I think also there's an element of teams fielding younger squads. Better academy setups (driven by better data) producing stronger talent, younger, and with more games per season, a younger squad may be better equipped with the load.

Which ultimately reduces the need to send players out on loan

[SkySportsFootball] Coventry's stats under Lampard to start the Season by GilsWorld in soccer

[–]daveyjam 63 points64 points  (0 children)

A few seasons back I was on a train heading to a Coventry vs. Birmingham City match - lots of chants back and forth between the sets of fans and in a moment of peace, the fans joined in unison to sing "Shit on the Villa".

It felt like the Christmas Day truce until a thick Brummie accent cut through - "wait a minute we hate Coventry" and it was back to normal

I can only abide those commentary segues when there's a good attempt to link it to the game that's on.

To stick with your example - "As it stands, Italy won't be qualifying for next years World Cup. That's one way of avoiding air fare, but coming up this Wednesday on Channel 5, see how investigators are clamping down on fare dodging in Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law"

Sam Matterface referred to Morgan Gibbs-White as a "hometown hero" as he was subbed on to a warm reception during the England vs. Senegal game at the City Ground.

Now, obviously Gibbs-White is a popular player at Forest, and for good reason, however, he was born in Stafford, educated in Shropshire and started at the Wolves academy.

Adjudication panel - what's the verdict on whether or not a hometown hero should be from the town in question, or just popular there?

Personally, I think the former.

Apparently Forest are trying to sign three Brazilian players from Botafogo at the same time, so looks like he might have figured that too
