This gets a little politically spicy, but I suppose that's unavoidable on this topic. A little break from Spurs during the break to talk about what's wrong with US soccer as the World Cup approaches:

What's Wrong with US Soccer Culture
Why I'm not 'Team USA' for the World Cup. And It's nothing to do with farmer's markets.

Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night. Nigel Farage, self-appointed saviour of âJudeo-Christian valuesâ, described alleged rapist Andrew Tate as âan important voiceâ for men young men a couple of years ago.

I take it the âmetaâ concept was always tongue-in-cheek, but the service
@iain.coys.social
does by surveying the Spurs media landscapeâas opposed to âcontent aggregationââis perhaps under-appreciated.

Remember when a bunch of racists judged Djed Spence for taking a celebratory photo with a cigar after winning a title, and then he turned out to be the most principled and emotionally mature player in the team?

In furtherance of my apparently hot take on Spursâ young midfielders: prospects come and go, but basically just 2 at Spurs currently make me think theyâre ready right now to play significant Prem minutes: Bergvall and Moore.

Lots not to like about Ronaldo, but one thing I admire is heâs surely aware of what everyoneâs saying about him holding Portugal back but is such a mentality sicko that he pulls out that finish, and you can see what it means to him.

And FWIW, I'd look to sell Gray before Bergvall, if we needed to clear space.

Re. Bergvall looking to leave: I told you this would happen, and it's not simply about finishing 17th. In fact it wasn't an issue the first time we finished 17th. It's about unambitious football and incompetent leadership.

Thereâs a lot of bad stuff in football that comes from social media, but one good thing is you realize that a lot of the players are just genuinely and often charmingly weird dudes.

Thomas Tuchel has always said England can play like a Premier League team. At half-time in Dallas, he told the players to prove him right. My piece:

On the left is an American football shirt (my home city). On the right is a Premier League club's football shirt. If you've never clocked the difference but are complaining about 'Americanisation' of football, maybe time to rethink your thesis.

This made me chuckle because I imagined myself getting this cup and making a big fuss about it and chucking into the trash bin and everyone else in the McDonaldâs having absolutely no idea why anyone would have such a reaction.

A mild concern I have is that Premier League Brain will mislead people who matter into thinking Vuskovic isnât fast or agile enough to be good for Spurs, so might look to cash in.

Just to add: the most impressive thing about 40-yr-old Vozinha was not his shot stopping (though that was good), but his calm commitment to playing out under pressure, knowing when to launch it and when to distribute, and his calm hovering over the ball before picking it up, to eat time. Brilliant.

Iâm sorry but you have Netflix because âAmericansâ hate commercials. Do not confuse Infantinoâs opportunistic deals with Trump media for what âAmericansâ want for the game.
