Drop a comment guys.
Finally had the time to put some words together.
“From my experience, between 40 to 50 games is the amount of games a player can perform optimally. After that, you drop because it is impossible to sustain that physical level” - Rodri Hernandez
New substack loading. ❤️❤️
Can’t believe people were lying through their teeth after Day3 that this has been the best yet. It’s just narrative engineering up and down.
The KOs can give it more life but until then………

We have eyes mehn. You will see scores of empty seats in the stadium and then come on twitter to see someone putting out the announcer’s attendance figure. Let’s be serious.
Este equipo español, sois una vergüenza para el mundo. 95 minutos de mediocridad contra un equipo inferior. Sois una gran vergüenza para el mundo. Os dejo en manos de Dios. @SEFutbol
You hear them say this nonsense and when you tell them to expatiate, it’s simply ‘oh, I can’t beat them here’. You are telling me that flogging your kids is the pinnacle of parenting, and no better parenting can be done without that?
You can’t understand how confusing what just played out is for people that actually watch this Spain team regularly.
I simply can’t understand what I’ve just watched here. LDF played safe and risk averse against a Cape Verde low block. Can’t wrap my head around it.
Again, how can these coaches not be able to recognize that they’d get more out of Lamine if he takes up more central positions.
No way you can get plenty juice when you have him by the line everytime he receives.
