NCL-NYCB
Get a German in, play aggressive pressing 442 and try to survive.
Man seeing him celebrate a 98th minute equaliser against us - and this XI specifically - his hilarious surreal shit.
Well, this is kind of the point that I can appreciate gets lost on most external media.
MLS is a league that’s growing, but it’s day to day reportage is done almost exclusively by bloggers and people doing it as a hobby. This isn’t like the Premier League where you have Football Weekly, Totally Football, and a dozen or so newspapers paying guys six figures to cover things.
Those guys and girls are there week in week out, asking questions, in many cases holding teams accountable, and just in general telling good stories to maintain interest particularly among local supporters. I think it’s great Messi arrived, and he’ll boost the league significantly, but MLS has to be conscious of those that helped them keep things ticking over and laid some of the foundations.
I’ve seen it previously where a big star comes in and the bloggers can’t get 5 minutes with him, but oh look here’s 13-1500 words in the Daily Mail and a nice photo spread. You can’t create a tiered access system like that and expect consistent coverage.
I don’t know much about Irish football after the surface level, but what they done to develop the domestic game?

He’s a great player and will retire with a golden legacy. Asking a 30-year-old to play in an end-to-end league like the Premier League was a recipe for disaster. He did well in year one, but the team is such a mess he’s being asked to do more than he’s able.
I really hope he doesn’t go to Bayern.
This is Havertz.
He’s a number 10 that works best the nhe can move into the space created by a striker.
