My general EPL takes:
1. Arsenal - Osimhen away. Arsenal made all the marginal moves they needed to improve their depth. Used to think beyond starting 11, things were pretty dire but - Trossard, Jorginho, Timber, Rice, Havertz make things spicy, especially for a CL run.

Best player on the pitch from the stadium view - don’t know how it translated on TV
Gannon-doak is doing a real experience on mr Martin Experience man

I don’t understand why he takes all the corners and all the free kicks like he’s the coaches son. Like why exactly does he take systematically all the set pieces?
Bellegarde had a bad terrible passes and his free kicks were awful but he overall played a great game. He set the tone. Wish we could’ve gotten at least a point but boys played

Quite possibly the greatest day of my football life. I’ve been feeling like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. Butterflies, pride, joy. #Grenadier2026

PSA:
To enjoy the World Cup while in a country hosting it, you don't HAVE to be inside the actual stadium.

FIFA is like literally don't believe your eyes instead trust an organization that thought it was a good idea to hold a World Cup in December in fucking Qatar

Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.
Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.
Community note
Photos from the match show thousands of empty seats throughout the stadium, contradicting the claim of only several fans in concourses. nytimes.com/athletic/73524… yahoo.com/news/world/art…

We knew it would happen lol. As we progressed through it will get better with some fans getting FOMO and corporate america buying seats of the more exciting games. Sad for the true fans of the sport tho

The biggest issue with this is that you really don’t need a water break on a cool 72F / 21C night in Guadalajara, could make an argument that it’s close to perfect football weather!

Continue to believe Bernardo Silva is an underrated gem. Honestly regret this dude won’t have a stint at Madrid. A winning football player!

There was time that I would been ecstatic about this signing. One of the truly GREAT midfielders of our time. The brother is out of gas though lol. Still young but when it goes, it goes!

🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid sent official proposal to Bernardo Silva, advanced talks to try sign the midfielder.
Deal underway with Mourinho pushing and Real confident to anticipate Barça & Atlético.
He’s a priority for JM, as @jfelixdiaz reports.

There is something coherent about this Brazil with Paqueta as an extra midfielder and Raphinha playing as the 10 / Anterior. The biggest issue with them is they are at severe talent deficit on the wingbacks, and even with Paqueta lol. 3 nore Better players make this team serious

Nou di sa n vle sou Nazon, poukisa yon moun paka di Bellegarde pa anfòm? Twòp emosyon, nou bezwen gen pye n sou tè.
