Do you know how many times in history that Scotland has declared and fought for independence? Wales is likely where King Arthur is from. It’s basically where the original Celts withdrew towards with the Roman, Viking and Saxon invasions.

Maybe the Welsh and Scots would fight harder if they knew it was the only way to get a separate FIFA team.

There 4 teams from UK. Way back, they joined FIFA as 4 different organizations. UK as a country is not a member of FIFA and not participate in World Cup.

I am just here to troll @UK Eagle today.

Yeah I mean Jay Glazer’s whole deal is hanging out with football people, so there seems to be some hypocrisy there. Though I think Russini purported herself more a real journalist than Glazer does

The internet and social media has dramatically changed journalism, not just in sports. Anyone who wants to be a member of the media can be in some form. It's just a matter of the sources and credibility of that person.

Cape Verde is the area where a lot of hurricanes that affect Central and N. America originate. That exhausts my knowledge of the place.

World Cup fanboys change their language once every 4 years. "Pitch” whatever. It’s a crappy field. Can you imagine soccer at Lambeau Pitch for a month?

Some Brit lady at the golf course yesterday asked for "crisps”. Southern girl behind the counter had no clue what she was talking about.

Doesn’t FIFA have their own field standards though when it comes to grass, condition, etc? They’re not playing on the same surface that the Giants/Jets play on. Most NFL players have been advocating for FIFA type field conditions to play football on instead of turf.

Yes. There is no way to knock the Jets/Giants/ NFL/MetLife for that turf being used at the world cup. It's entirely a FIFA issue.

Yeah, this is what I heard as well. Crazy that teams are upgrading the field for FIFA, but not for their own players.

Teams are not.

I had a soccer coach ask for a plosta. Without the accent it was platser and I still had no clue what he was really asking for. He wanted a band aid.

Right now it looks like our projected 2027 picks are:

1

2

3

4

5

5

6

6

7

I think we’ll make a training camp trade for a S that’ll be something like a 5 and a 7

So did he quit to do this or was he not retained?

Have you been there? It's one of the most uncomfortable ways to watch a sporting event. Imagine paying over $10k for world cup tickets to have your knees touch the back of the person in front of you and feeling the knees of the person behind you for the entire match. And then doing the awkward stand-up-shuffle every single time someone needs to make their way to the aisle. No thanks.

Fenway Park is worse.

His fate was sealed

The Falcons didn't even release Pearce after he tried to run over his girlfriend and ran from the cops. Arnold must be COOKED

He's facing very serious charges.

The draft won't be in beast mode until we get another 6th round pick.

Pearce was eligible for a diversion program and wasn't going to be spending significant time in jail even if he wasn't.  But yeah, Arnold is probably not playing again.

Probably helps that Arnold has kinda sucked too.

That is what you are looking at with the listed projected 3rd since the Eagles traded their 3rd in 2027 for Greenard.

Prevent defense doesn’t work in any sport… Great job Netherlands
