FIFA’s no.1 ranked team right now is France. Ours is Argentina. FIFA re-ranks national teams ~10x a year, then freezes it for the ENTIRE World Cup. For the next month their table won’t move, while 48 nations reshape the world order every night. So we built one that doesn’t freeze. 🧵

Canada attack exactly that gap. Jonathan David won’t play like a striker tonight: he drops into the pocket those big centre-backs hate leaving the box to defend. The moment they hesitate, Ismaël Koné and Stephen Eustaquio arrive through the middle, with Tajon Buchanan and Jacob Shaffelburg sprinting the channels.

Bosnia win the aerial battle but Canada wins the midfield duels. Prediction: Canada 2 - 0 Bosnia

And we don’t always agree. We have Portugal 12th (FIFA 5th). Colombia (6th) and Japan (9th) inside our top 10, where the official table leaves them out. Italy 23rd to FIFA’s 12th; for a side that didn’t even qualify. Explore and click on any nation and read exactly why.

Season-defining game for Chelsea today. For @Football_P, I shared my thoughts on the direction Chelsea is heading under BlueCo and Maresca — and why fans need to exercise patience with the project. footballparadise.com/blueco-…

It is Bob Paisley's birthday today, so I'm going to share an article I wrote on the great man back in 2017. By far the most underrated manager; a timeless genius whose trophy cabinet is to be envious of. footballparadise.com/brickla…

Written for @Football_P , inspired by Ian Herbert's wonderful book, "Quiet Genius – Bob Paisley, British Football’s Greatest Manager" which remains one of the best pieces of sports content I have ever read.
