  • Growing up it was one of the few things my family and both my parents enjoyed all together. To watch our national team play. When the team was crushing it in the continental cup I was captivated because it was the performance I wanted to see from a national team. I went all in at that moment.

    Referring to the sport, I like it. I like the teams, team crests and identity and the fact football is a continuous game. No constant commercial breaks or waiting for something to happen like in the NFL or MLB.







  • Ronaldo’s football style, strength, pace plus his “cool guy” vibe is what most young guys idolize. Messi on the other hand looks like the average man. He’s regularly the shortest player on the pitch and as a result doesn’t have the most charisma but he makes up for it in his skill and football intelligence which is why more mature football fans look past that and focus on the game and what each player brings onto pitch.

    For example one of my brothers scoffed at Messi being the best player in the world because he said he looks more like a farmer or taxi driver and not what you’d expect a football superstar to look like. He then said Ronaldo fits more of the idea of what you’d expect to see as a global football athlete. Charisma is the biggest factor that impresses younger minds. In other words who they would rather be is often who they look up to the most.


  • Those fans don’t understand the full context and probably can’t explain it either. All they understand is Everton, City, and Chelsea are under investigation but Everton is the only one who has received punishment. They believe it’s unfair. They don’t know that City is under a lot more investigation and the punishment can be much more severe than Everton’s. City may face stripping of titles, greater point deduction, and automatic relegation. No one knows the punishment City will face till the day of the verdict but those fans are thinking in the present tense only. After City’s investigation is over it’s possible those same Everton fans will think they got lucky only getting a 10 point deduction







  • Spurs squad depth was always going to be a challenge. We all knew their players weren’t good enough to challenge for the title but they were absolutely crushing it with Ange’s strategy. City have the best depth and a big reason they always win the league. But down the line Spurs can put in a good challenge. I think players itching for playing time and optimism in the Spurs team can attract some good players in the near future.
