  1. I reckon the players have a bit to do with that as well. Not sure he wants to copy/play like City but one thing we did see - England don't have the players to create nearly the chances that City do - nor in remotely the same way. And that is with some of those very players in the side. Passing it aimlessly around at the back is not really the same is it? Especially when it ends up on your keepers foot to be lumped directly to the other teams CB. That is not managing the game or minimising risk.
  2. Canada national team officials have used drones prior to the Paris Olympics and their Tokyo 2020 women's gold medal could be tarnished, officials said on Friday. The developments emerged after Bev Priestman was removed as Olympics head coach for Canada's women's team, following the flying of a drone over New Zealand's training session on Monday. Priestman, 38, was described by the head of Canada's Olympic committee as being "highly likely" to have been aware of the incident, leading to her suspension by Canada Soccer. Canadian media reported that both of the country's senior teams - men's and women's - have relied on drones for years. There has been pushback against that allegation but also an acknowledgement this was not the first drone deployed. Canada Soccer chief executive Kevin Blue confirmed he had received "anecdotal feedback" related to drone use during the men's team's run to the Copa America semi-finals this summer and said coach Jesse Marsch had only been made aware of it after the event. "I am aware of an instance of attempted drone usage at the Copa America," Blue said. "I have spoken with our current head coach about the incident after it occurred and I know he denounced it as a practice to his staff." Blue said there may be a "systemic ethical shortcoming" that needs to be addressed. Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive David Shoemaker said there "appears to be information that could tarnish" Canada's women's football triumph from the Tokyo Games.

  5. He does- had to change his surname a few years back. Pressure from HR.
  6. Those responsible for the railway sabotage must have had very “precise information” about how the network operated, Axel Persson, a CGT rail union leader.
  7. No one has yet claimed responsibility for today’s attacks on the French high-speed rail network, but given their scale and precision, it is clear they are more than just random acts of vandalism. Axel Persson, the leader of the CGT rail union, said that the perpetrators appeared to have had “precise information” and an extensive knowledge of the network. There are many possible culprits – the opening day of the Olympic Games is a tempting target for anyone seeking to cause chaos and disruption in the limelight. Here are some of the possible theories: Civil disobedience? Intelligence services pointed out that “these methods have been used by the far left in the past,” but said that “there is no evidence to tie today’s actions to them.” France is also no stranger to strikes and political demonstrations and protesters have in the past blocked transport links across France. The parliamentary election held just weeks ago attracted large scale protests and rallies. However, such protests tend to be announced in advance and those behind them are keen to make their cause known. Persson acknowledged that it could have been a railway worker or someone involved in the construction of the tracks, but added that industrial espionage shouldn’t be excluded. Climate protests? Environmental activists have in the past blocked traffic to bring attention to the climate crisis. But these groups have mostly focused on fossil-fuel intensive transportation, such as on airports and highways. And they too wanted people to know it was them who did it. Foreign suspects? France has been among the countries impacted by a recent wave of suspected Russian sabotage attacks against infrastructure and other targets. France itself has experienced cyber attacks against several government agencies which officials said were possibly linked to Russia. Russia has not responded to the allegations. Earlier this week, French authorities detained a Russian citizen in Paris, accusing him of preparing destabilizing events during the Olympics. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia did not have any information on the arrest.
