The International Football Thread

Now I wonder WHICH clubs are objecting eh? Wonder if 1 is some cunts in North London and another are some bunch of cunts smelling like Manure?

Chelsea, Gareth Southgate & England

Will Gareth Southgate be given the England job on a full-time basis?

That seems to be the overriding sense following the recent 3-0 win over Scotland and the 2-2 draw against Spain.

But, according to the Times on Thursday, Chelsea are complicating issues before any announcement that Southgate has taken over the England manager’s role on a full-time basis can be made.

What’s the Chelsea problem?

The issue relates to Steve Holland, who is a coach both at Chelsea and with Southgate.

The Times inform their readers that Southgate now has a “political problem” with the Blues employee:

Several Premier League clubs objecting to Steve Holland being employed as his assistant while staying on as a coach at Chelsea.

Chelsea are adamant that they want Holland to stay at the club if he is appointed as Southgate’s No 2 on a permanent basis and believe that he is capable of combining both roles, but several of their Premier League rivals are understood to feel that would create a conflict of interests.

Holland could potentially gain early access to information about injuries suffered by players at other Premier League clubs for example, a situation that some of them object to.

The Times fail to report which clubs are objecting to Holland’s involvement with the Three Lions.

Why is David Luiz not in Brazil's squad, did he retire?

Maybe his calf injury is worse than we thought.

Or Tite head doesnt like him?

But might go deeper as he wasn't selected for the Copa America neither.

Maybe its a Chelsea thing? We did have quite a few of their players at one time which you would think was a benifit all playing together regularly. But with Diego opting for Spain who knows what goes on with team selection lol

Leaving David aside, which of our other Brazilians did we, or do we, think is good enough for the Selacoa? It doesn't take an anti-Chelsea conspiracy to leave those names out of the National team.

Returning to DL, perhaps he's just not fancied. There are an awful lot of people in the football world who could not select him either. Chelsea's gain.

Awful injury of Coleman

[kmk108 1,186]

Oof, that's a bad one for Coleman. I thought it was pretty funny how Martin O'Neil confirmed he had a broken leg. REALLY!? No shit!

Bale had a really bad tackle as well. He was lucky he wasn't sent off.

Thats really bad for Coleman, may he have a good recovery but it doesnt take away the fact that he´s a karnt, look i never wish an injury on any player, but maybe in a way this is karma for what he did to Costa earlier this season, Coleman knew what he was doing there, there was clear intent on hurting Costa, its a red card all day, but it didnt change the outcome of the game in which we trashed Everton in every way and Costa scored, check 0:31 on this video, thats a leg breaker right there, you can see Costa´s bloodied ankle in 0:56.
