You've got to say maybe we missed a trick not giving the job to Carsley... His few games in charge of the seniors he had 5 wins 1 loss in 6 (and the loss was the only game Kane missed of those). Scored 16 conceded 3 and 4 clean sheets. The u21's were great to watch last night, attacking minded, forward passing, over lapping runs, wingers taking on their full backs and interchanging at the top of the pitch confusing the Czechs. Compared to the games against Andorra (ranked 183) and Senegal (19) it was chalk and cheese. Even against Latvia (138) and Albania (66) we were slow and boring to watch - across the 3 games in qualifiers we've only scored 6 goals against teams not even in the top 50 in the world and two of them outside the top 100.
Watching Chelsea -LAFC at Club World Cup. If this is future of football then count me out. Each player coming out individually, after being announced, to a stadium that has more empty seats than the SOL in the 60th minute.
It is crap. The whole concept is crap. The players don’t even want to be there and neither do the fans. Some people are buying 1 ticket and getting 4 free to try and make it look better. A complete joke of a competition.
Hands up anyone who has. I don't know anyone who has watched a match. Also, don't know anyone who has even watched the highlights of most never mind all of the games. I've not watched one second of any of the games even by accident.
I posted three posts before you saying I was watching the game. Are you sure you haven't watched all the games and then forgotten about it?
Love to see the viewing figures for the tv audience and specifically where it comes from. Pretty sure there are very few in the UK bar Chelsea and City fans watching and even less watching it legally… Think everyone sees it for what it is, another FIFA money spinner to line pockets…
Sorry, my bad. Should have been clearer. has anyone with the exception of a corrupt, unscrupulous, morally bankrupt game organiser watched a match. Also, don't know anyone has with the exception of a corrupt, unscrupulous, morally bankrupt game organiser even watched the highlights of most never mind all of the games. Thanks Manc
are they taking the piss out of fans loyalty quickly arranging another friendly when the previous one sold out
