One of the greatest to ever do it is hanging his boots up today ... is what Bendtner must be thinking today as he announces his retirement.

 

I don’t love it. Got his tactics wrong pretty much the entirety of the final two months of the season when things mattered. But I’m pretty sure this is to avoid paying 7m in buyout clauses.

 

Martin Braithwaite should have an interesting list by the time he retires. Still can’t believe he went from flopping at Boro to playing for Barcelona.

 

TAA out of the Euros with a thigh injury.

 

All that online debate for nothing. Sucks though, big blow for England given his quality (even if it was a debatable inclusion in the first place).

 

Yeah, so hard to tell if Berhalter will go 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. I could see him dropping Ream and slotting Lletget in the Midfield.

We should be solid to get through to the knockout stage but if we finish second, seems like the path to the final will be a bit more difficult especially if Mexico places first in their group.

 

Throwback to the greatest moment of him in an Arsenal shirt...

 

All aboard the Buendia bus

 

Same

 

Everton manager search will consider candidates without PL experience

This is positive. Very positive. Screams to me that Rangnick is being considered.

 

Looks like Denzel Dumfries from PSV will be our first signing of the summer. He'll be a Brands signing. I've never seen him play before so can't pretend to know anything about him other than he's a RB.

 

oh, so we’re CONCACAFING concacafing tonight

 

Judging from Twitter, it’s another Berhalter disasterclass and it’s a good thing I had physical therapy and can’t watch

 

Update: we scored as I typed that lmao

 

If you’re wasting time by subbing, why not cap-tie Yunus Musah or someone else who hasn’t been captied?

 

Game was crazy. Was doing stuff around the house. My dad sent me a text to see if I was watching.

Asked (didn’t know he started) if Pulisic had been subbed on to miss a goal like on Saturday.

 

Found some highlights. Looks like Reyna had a golden chance pretty early on that he scudded just wide. Definitely hope he continues to develop at his current clip.

 

They were not ready at least at the start for the press and energy that Honduras started with. Missed the middle of the game so not sure if that stuck but looked like when I picked back up at the end that it was a bit better dealt with. Could have also been Honduras being tired and not pressing as well.

 

Proverbial spanner in the works.

 

This is shocking. Him and Koke *are* Atleti to me.

 

...de Paul is a damn good replacement. Somebody has their Weetabix over at Atleti.

 

Finally got rid of Bolasie!

 

Josh King too. Didn't you'se only sign him in January? I know he didn't play or do much, but I thought he would've stayed just for backup and squad depth if nothing else.

 

Josh King was only a loan deal until his Bournemouth contract expired, I think. His only contribution I've noted was winning that free kick away to United. We must be signing another forward if he's going, though, unless we're promoting Simms.
