Best advice, avoid watching the matches in the US; go watch the Mexico and Canadian matches.

Could you change the name of the community to 'deleted football' so idiots like me don't keep postingnhere as this community comes up on top every time

This is just a quick thought.

Over the past few years we saw a new kind of 10 as the dominant force, the athletic pressing physical player. Your Mason Mounts and Connor Gallaghers etc. Players who would regain possession, more valuable out of possession than the traditional 10 who would create chances and be a vital cog in possession.

Players like Isco became rare.

But now we've got anpther new wave of players. Athletic runners as the recent pressers were but more aggressive in the traditional way, making runs into the box during attacks instead of sitting outside the box waiting to pounce back on the change of possession. Think Jude at Madrid, McTominay at Napoli.

In bw these we also had players like Damsgaard which had the potential to define a generation but didn't.

I'm not saying one or the other is now meta, just that we've currently got more molds than before which can be plugged in different playatyles.

The instance this community moved to is shutting down, and for some reason the voting options didn't include moving the community to lemmy.world. So now it's moving yet again to some other instance.

Given this turn off events, why not just resurrect it here?

The greatest national team in football history will now be led by the most successful coach in the world. Carlo Ancelotti, a synonym for historic victories, was announced this Monday (12) by the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, as the new coach of the Brazilian National Team. He will lead Brazil to the 2026 World Cup and will already coach the team in the upcoming friendlies and matches of the Qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay, next month.

Carlo Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid as the most decorated manager of the club's history with 15 trophies (3 Champions Leagues, 2 La Liga, 2 Copa Del Rey, 3 Club World Cup, 3 European Super Cup and 2 Spanish Super Cup) in 6 years

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.
