If referees were much stricter on dissent at the top level it would have a huge benefit at all levels of the game.

Tbf the FA have tried this on the managers and everyone here got fucking LIVID lmao

Reducing the league cup games only delegitimises the competition. The better solution, objectively, is to reduce the number of european games played. Imo jt should be a straight knockout, no group stage games.

A socialist system would also extort as many games as possible out of the players. If anything capitalist systems have proven to be far more responsive to overtaxing resources, whereas historically socialist systems are hesitant to reduce production of a good or service.

Always felt bad for Gil Merrick. Very good goalkeeper by all accounts, one of the Birmingham City all time great players and managers, servant of the club for decades. Is known around the world for conceding 11 to Hungary when it probably wasn't his fault.

Made me feel bad for Gil Merrick, who is slathered on there Even though as far as I can tell he was sort of left out to dry by a bad formation

The odds of them having that sort of team again though are tiny. Even brazil struggle to replicate teams like the wc70 team.

holy shit we got a goal!
