Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down 5 handpicked matches stretching across the UEFA Nations League, the USA’s trip to Jamaica in the CONCACAF Nations League and South American World Cup Qualifying.
One of the games featured includes England’s trip to Greece. An experimental lineup featuring no striker and an abundance of playmakers backfired massively as the Three Lions were beaten 2-1 at Wembley in the reverse fixture. As a result, Lee Carsley’s hopes of taking over ended overnight, and Thomas...

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s first game as interim coach - as United brushed aside Leicester 5-2 in the Carabao Cup - before moving on to previewing his first EPL match against Chelsea at Old Trafford tomorrow.
It has been confirmed that Van Nistelrooy’s stint will last for 4 games, with Ruben Amorim set to take charge from November 24th. On paper, tomorrow’s clash certainly appears to be the most difficult game of the Dutchman’s short tenure.

Arsenal’s draw with fellow title-challengers Liverpool left them five points off the top spot last weekend, and while they are in the midst of a difficult run of fixtures (Liverpool, Newcastle, Inter Milan and Chelsea) over a two-week period, they can’t afford to lose any further ground at St James Park.

This episode also examines the antics of box office Jose Mourinho and a crazy story that emerged this week— that claimed that Manchester United asked Manchester City to allow Mainoo and Garnacho to travel to with their players to the Ballon d'Or on City’s private plane, as another embarrassing cost cutting measure— from the third biggest franchise in sports.

Published 10/19/24
Billi (@SGPSoccer) deep dives into why Erik Ten Hag remains the Manchester United manager, before moving onto to looking ahead to tomorrow’s home clash against Brentford.
With Thomas Tuchel taking the England vacancy, the list of replacements for Ten Hag looks as uninspiring as it’s ever looked- which was probably a large part of the reason INEOS didn’t make any major decision in this window. It appears that Ten Hag will now get 7 more games to prove his worth.
