villa4europe Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 23 cities are in the running for being host venues, the most out there one is edmonton, chicago arent hosting any games, the others you would like to think will be grouped together in some way, only 16 of them will end up hosting, no new stadiums, i think toronto is getting an expansion but thats it, 15 NFL stadiums, some interesting stuff in the bid - all 3 hosts play their opening game on the first day semi finals in dallas AT&T and atlanta's mercedes benz stadium (both incredible stadiums) Mexico and Canada to each host seven group-stage games, two matches in the round of 32, and one in the round of 16 so thats 10 games in canada, 10 games in mexico and 60 in the USA final is at the metlife stadium in new york Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually as bad as I had thought before looking it up. Especially if you consider 9th place in CONMEBOL is Bolivia in 59th*. * yes I know there are only 10 in CONMEBOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 rashford, abraham, solanke...welbeck.... interesting that the independent went with - The 32-year-old has also accepted he is unlikely to feature much for the national side given his age and the plethora of attacking options currently available to England manager Gareth Southgate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been a rocket polisher and a petulant clearing in the woods. And that's OK if you deliver. At Toulouse they hate him because he simply isn't.

villa4europe Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 im tempted to say he has to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, we need better attacking midfielders, players comfortable on the ball who rather than pinging it forward and getting them to run really fast can actually try and play a bit of football if we do that then kane and rashford up top is probably ok, puts more pressure on ali and lingard to fill the gaps and get forward and get goals, i expect maddison to be called up maybe even sessegnon but i think for him, sancho and foden its come too soon i think joe gomez might come back with cahill stepping down maybe tarkowski too, the bigger issue is jones and smalling being shit, they shouldnt be anywhere near the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I think Southgate has removed his Smalling problem. The issue with Jones and Smalling is the media pressure of not calling them up as they play for Man Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
