I'd have thought the power of the Wrexham story was in their pokiness and obscurity, and that having them rolling down Sunset Boulevard would take a bit of the edge off, but maybe I'm awarding too much nuance to the American mind.
Real Madrid, obviously
Real, but not as comfortably as some think
I actually think Dortmund will win
I don't actually think Dortmund will win, but I'm pretending I do bnecause I'm like that
Football. Football shall be the winner.
DON'T CARE WANT EUROS NOW PLEASE

Wrexham are pretty MASSIVE now due to the Disney show.
Loads of new "fans".
I still remember Mickey Thomas the bastard
I think I have more respect for that bloke who tried to move Wimbledon to Milton Keynes than I do the Wrexham 'project'.
FC Girondins de Bordeaux are kaput.
That's insane.
Wasn't long ago that they were still in the Europa and Champions League.
New FM save unlocked though.
Wrexham's website crashed when they released a new kit after their disney show. MASSIVE.
Mikel Arteta looking like Simon Cowell every passing day
Trey Nyoni looks a hell of a player for us. A little lightweight, but so good on the ball. This pre-seasons Quansah, hopefully. Blair and Doak impressive, too.

Whereas Endo looked out of his depth.
I'm a twit
Yeah definitely looked off it. Hopefully Jones' injury isn't serious, could be a big year for him. I did think a few of our players looked kinda skinny, more weights needed. Also lol at Bellerin, shadow of the player he used to be, and a stupid fucking hair do.

Sounds great.The changes in the style of play came in a fluid 4-2-4 formation and the Reds played without a striker.
Again, it was partly down to the limited personnel, but Klopp's gegenpressing style turned into a slower possession-based approach, typically favoured by Johan Cryuff-influenced Dutch coaches.
Everything about Slot screams 5th place finish.
Slower possession approach? He'll never be as good as Southgate.
Not to mention all the drugs have left along with Klopp.
Sir Gareth would never concern himself with things like possession.
Robertson will never play again.
Newcastle official start their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win over Hull. Isaak and Murphy scoring, Wilson injured himself as soon as he got back to training. We need to buy a less crocked striker.
This Leicester manager in charge of Chelsea is going to be sacked by October. One win in nine type of shit.
I liked his "you've got to decide what type of goal you are going to concede" comment after apparently twice being turned over faffing around being brave on the ball. I understood what he was getting at, and he did further clarify himself, but I thought it was a funny comment.
Celtic should be 4-0 up. I know it is pre season but this defensive set up is hilarious. All the defenders man marking and playing higher up than the spurs defence when down to 9 men
And turning Reece James into a full back who ‘inverts’. Makes me sick. Modern football is bollocks
It's alright, few more signings in the bag today. 3 average goalkeepers equals one decent one, right? Getting pumped by Celtic and held by Wrexham all incidental. Different stages of their preparation.
There’s getting pumped and there’s getting pumped 4-0
What a club
I've only got it on the BBC score update thing, but is that Mo Johnstone they've just dug up scoring the fourth?
Next season lads.Striker Rasmus Hojlund and Ł52m new signing Leny Yoro both suffered first-half injuries as Manchester United lost their opening US tour game against Premier League rivals Arsenal 2-1 in Los Angeles.
They looked fairly minor

I don't see the point on hanging around with Maresca, should probably just sack him now and put Yevrah in charge.
Valentin Barco genuinely looks like a 12 year scally from some council estate.
He's like Canelo Alvarez. If you'd never seen him before, you'd expect him to bust out in a Paisley accent.
I’d love to know how the ginger Argies come about.
I'm a twit
Loads of Welsh went there 100+ years ago, and presumably a few Scots and Irish too if MacAllister is anything to go by.

Feels a bit weird that a currently active player is allowed to buy a majority stake in a team.
Should be allowed, but he shouldn't then be allowed to play for anyone except them.
Alright, back in the game.The Mail report that former Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has been approached regarding the vacant position of Jamaican national team boss.
Good monager
Have at it lads, lol list:

Hard to argue really, although you could have punted Neymar down a bit further to wind him up.
Modric at 5th might be a bit of a stretch. Not outrageous by any means, but still.
Just the one Englishman. We really do punch above our weight on the international stage.
Henry is too high and the lack of Englishmen is down to our continued failure on the international stage.
No Hazard or Bale looool
No Lahm is a proper lol. Modric being fifth despite doing fuck all at international level is a double lol.
I'd have Iniesta over Modric but that's the only thing I'd change.
Finally people realise Henry’s godlike abilities
Henry above Zidane is a nonsense. As is Modric being fifth.
I would say Modric legacy has gone further than Xavi but just behind Iniesta.
Who cares. It's a team game. You can have your Messi/Ronaldo debate if you like, but when you start trying to pin down the vagueries of the 17th best player this century then you've made a wrong turn somewhere. Why would you have Lewandowski over Kane?
No Kante?
Actually, is it just a list of players who have played for Barcelona and Real? It may as well be.
