Yeah it definitely isn’t as prestigious as it once was

Making the gap in financial capability between the top teams and lower leagues bigger just ruins the game further.
As for following the wrong league; being born a stones throw away from a Premier League ground, previously having a season ticket, going to games dating back to 2006, being in the away end when Ronaldo scored his first ever hat-trick, I’d find it difficult to jump ship now.

Whether you think it should or shouldn’t, they still won the World Cup
The possibiliy of Jofra Archer's career coming to an early end will rob cricket of a bowler with so much talent

Thanks for the comment. I think Walker has to be starting right-back over White, would also have James and Trippier if he was at his best there before White. Grealish hasn’t been consistent this season but probably would’ve agreed based on performances last season. In terms of form this season Anthony Gordon should be in with a shout but don’t think he’ll play much. I still think Kane has to be playing and Maguire always does well in tournaments. Watkins or Toney are good options to have coming off the bench and filling in for Kane.
Phil Foden has earned the opportunity to start for England at the Euros
Howe definitely deserves more time, also agree Wilson is massively underrated due to injuries. Wouldn’t mind Almiron and Longstaff as bench/cup players but don’t think they’re good enough to be first choice in their positions.
Is the writing on the wall for Eddie Howe?
I agree, think they win the Europa League after this one and potentially the league and FA cup
Could Jurgen Klopp be lifting his final trophy as Reds manager after the Carabao Cup final?
Looks good for them!
Why Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso need to be taken seriously as other European underdogs start to unravel
Thanks Nick, yeah I agree the defence does seem to be a possible issue for Japan
They've been building for the Asian Cup, but can the Socceroos beat the odds and take the title in Qatar?
If he comes up against Djokovic I think we all know what happens unfortunately! That goes for any player outside out of the top 5 to be fair to Alex de Minaur

Yeah it looks like European competitions have took the attention away from it, but your team definitely gave the neutral one of the best games at Wembley for a long time.
