Astonishing!

I understand wanting to educate your audience, but a slab of text on-screen like that is not the way!

‘They are adults’: Tuchel grants England players day off with few strings attached

The manager said he trusts his players to behave responsibly and said they were all very determined

Treating the players like adults

Fancy that

I'm sure the gutter press will be sniffing around for some sort of scandal now

Just as well Jack Grealish didn’t make the squad

I don't know.

this head tennis and volleys for 6 consecutive touches won't wash vs real football sides.

Is it me or has the quality been pretty dire so far?

We've had Canada, South Africa, South Korea, Czechia, Bosnia and Mexico playing so far mate

Get used to it. Having 48 teams is like the prem and championship merging.
Imagine the utter pap that would create.

My word that was a hard watch. These water breaks are completely ruining games for me. Was 24C there today, why do they need to stand for 3 mins getting a team talk after playing for 20 mins? Ruins any immersion, as if football doesn’t have enough problems with games flowing

Quality? There are 48 teams. Come back in about three weeks for a sprinkling of that.

I don't pay to stream fox which is fine bc the thought of Lalas in my life for a month is just something I'd rather not do.

Dunno why 90% of the commercials on telemundo are in English tho.
