Not only this, but assuming continental competition pots remain robust then it further entrenches the dominance of the select few who enter UCL etc. All round bad news except for a relatively small number of clubs
The way this ends/normalizes is these rights get gobbled up by international streamers.
The problem with it ending that way is they get gobbled up for pennies and leagues lose a (in some cases THE) major source of revenue.

The worst thing about this awful article is that it genuinely suggests that 'performative reading' (which seems to be reading in public and/or secondhand books) equates in men to "f***boy behaviour; casual cruelty hides behind their finely crafted feminist image". Utterly wild to make that jump.

English football’s focus on possession over transition causes so many problems when the international side comes up against quick strong sides with a core of NWSL attacking players.

I’m extremely over getting AI-generated messages on LinkedIn asking about the football industry. A) AI can be spotted a mile away in this kind of missive; don’t do it! B) how can you be expected to be taken seriously if you outsource saying hello to a fucken robot

1️⃣ Pressing triggers
▫️By focusing on the opponent's pass before a 1st pressing action in a sequence, it's possible to separate different triggers
👇 The graphic shows an example, with the 8 triggers that I defined

I think a lot about how most big-city newspapers used to have a a couple of movie critics, a theater critic, a few book critics, an architecture critic, a music critic or two, an in-house cartoonist, at least two or three foreign correspondents, a fashion writer, and a whole staff of photographers

Not saying a huge style shift guarantees trouble, but if your squad is used to one thing and then you try to get them doing something epically, wildly different, or you try to adapt to do something epically, wildly different, it is quite unlikely to work.
