Did we go to Dortmund looking for Haaland and settle for their training gear instead? Why is all of it black and yellow? 😂

jfc are these kits fugly

the pattern continuing onto the shorts is a nightmare

Not sure why Nike takes such liberties with our kits.

You look at the Italian clubs, Milan/Inter/Juve....you don't see such monstrosities from either Nike or Adidas.

Is it just because Italy is like the fashion capital or something? That they actually need a minimum standard?

Kova, Kante should join tomorrow. 3 German players the day after.

But The Athletic said today for the first two and tomorrow for the other three.

Who do you trust more? 🤔

I was counting 3 weeks - 21 days vacation.

Doesn't really matter, let's see if they show up today.

So, the squad have travelled to Ireland for the training camp in Dublin and the club haven't released the list of players that traveled......although I believe it's the same group that have trained so far.

Think The Athletic have no clue on when the players are returning and they just counted 3 weeks from the day their nation got eliminated from the Euros...

Seems like all or most of the players have been given longer than the 3-week break that was mentioned, if Kovacic's latest social media is anything to go by...

Assuming Kante, Kovacic and the German lads will be back next week.

Yeah, that Florida Cup has sure gone well...

Arsenal have pulled out due to a small outbreak of COVID-19 in their team while Inter have done the same after citing the risks involved in international travel during this pandemic. 

[ZAPHOD2319 3,896]

Florida has blown up with Covid. 1/5 of all new Covid cases in the U.S. are coming from Florida due to low vaccinated numbers. National average is 68%, Florida is 42% totally vaccinated. Jacksonville just set their highest hospitalized Covid cases since the pandemic started.
