the celtic managerial recruitment policy is basically "did he win us the league the last time he was here, no matter how long ago that was"

Liverpool bought on some teenager yesterday, who then got sent off after 12 minutes. In his only other appearance, they brought him on last year in another cup match, and he got sent off after 4 minutes, so his current career statistics are:
Matches Played: 2
Minutes Played: 16
Red Cards: 2
Red Cards Per 90: 11.25

In 2026, they'll be managed by Jock Stein's ghost.

Seattle Reign coach Laura Harvey says she used ChatGPT for team tactics

So... Mary Earps was usurped by Hannah Hampton as England goalie, and this extract from Earps' autobiography is fascinating:

I'm pleased for the Irish Free State, and Norway look a real handful. They won't win the tournament, but you wouldn't want 'em in your group, that's for sure.

Indeedy. I think it's proof that we're still in the matrix.
What a game that was tonight. Just crackers. And what goals, too. That McTominay one was like Pele in Escape to Victory.
And Wales gubbing North Macedonia, also!

I almost didn’t want Scotland to win that as they were so bad for so much of it, but they won me over by scoring a series of the best goals in history.

I'm sure China used to have a decent women's team back in the day (90s), or maybe the general standard was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lower.
