Its a World Cup year and I, like many other football fans, am looking forward to the carnival of football that only the most prestigious international competition can provide. As the Premier League reaches its climax, it is only natural that we look out for which English players are hitting a rich vein of form at the right time to try and book their seat on the plane Xander Bogaerts Jersey to Brazil. I argue that the decision on which players to take is a more philosophical one than many give Roy the credit for.Should we play 4-4-2? Perhaps 4-2-3-1 with flying fullbacks, or even the diamond, employed by Liverpool to great effect this season. All of these formations and more I have discu sed down the local and in an ideal world England would play all of these systems, but it leads me on to the biggest question namely; what system to England play? To me it seems almost reactionary the tactics used by England in the sense that it seems that Hodgson seems to pick a team that fits a system rather than a system that fits the group of players available to him. Hodgson has persisted with Cleverley in his teams since he took over when the likes of Jack Cork have been overlooked despite playing better for his club when given the opportunity. England have been ble sed with tremendous talent in the fullback positions with Baines and Cole competing for the left back spot in past years and Johnson having a fantastic season for Liverpool. These players all play fairly well for England but never provide a huge performance in big games which leave anxious moments in seemingly easy qualification groups. Pundits have been calling for England to adopt the Southampton Way for much of the season, but what does that actually mean in terms of the Three Lions?There has been much written in the media this year about the playing style of Southampton, with their pre sing game combined with their relaxed approach to po se sion it has been . Mauricio Pochettino has been a progre sive appointment after Nigel Adkins; playing out from the back and centering around a pa sing game which is crucial to his style. His previous club was in Spain, and there is a tremendous amount written about the attractive Spanish style of pa sing and ball retention noticeably lacking in England sides over the past decade. The impre sive pre sing game that Southampton play without the ball, the pa sing and po se sion orientated tactics are exciting to watch. But is this the way England should be playing?Sure, it works well at Southampton because the players have bought into the style and philosophy of the club but the Southampton Way runs right Tyler Thornburg Jersey through the club from the youth teams to the first team. With England there doesnt seem to be this consistency just yet. The calibre of players is unquestionable; Gerrard, Rooney and Baines are outstanding players in their own rights, but they play to different systems under their respective premier league managers. Now you might argue that this is a cheap shot at the Premier League but I believe this to be a deeper point. Roy Hodgson doesnt play the same type of football that is being encouraged at Southampton, Liverpool or even Arsenal, so why do the supporters of Johnny Pesky Jersey England demand that type of football? It seems to me that we are trying to shoehorn England regulars into a England XI rather than creating a team that could potentially challenge for a title. Look at the achievements of the Greece team that won Euro 2004, hardly a star studded squad in relation to some of the teams they faced.Hodgson was presumably brought in to try to give some sort of identity to the national game; an English manager for an English team. But this weak and quite superficial philosophy from the FA fails to connect with players from the more succe sful clubs which have foreign managers. Players such as Lallana, Sterling and Shaw have grown up with the same philosophy throughout their career and it must be odd for them to be thrust into an environment where the result matters more than the style of football. For example, we see in the last few minutes of a football match where a team needs a last minute goal, they go route one and throw everything at the opposition. This is perhaps counter-intuitive. The desperation leads to mistakes and this in turn leads to frustration to the supporters who then aim their anger at the players which heaps more pre sure on them. We are constantly told that the game does not end until the final whistle so why should a team force themselves to make mistakes through desperation? Surely it is better to continue playing thoughtful football, outmanoeuvring a mentally tired and pre sured opposition. Eduardo Rodriguez Jersey We have seen this carele sne s in England sides many times in major competitions, and while this may seem like an asymmetric argument as Southampton have not been in crucial stages of knockout competitions, the composure is always in evidence whether they are holding on to a lead or behind in a game they never seem to lose sight of the style of play. This is drilled in to the players as Adkins and now Pochettino have been quoted as saying we never get too high when we win or too low when we lose and this levelheadedne s is evident in the hard working nature of the performances something that has been lacking with England. Some of the most succe sful clubs in the football league and conference this season have adopted this mentality. For example, Luton Town have long been the giants outside the football league and have languished in the conference. The introduction of John Still as manager last year has seen a clear philosophy introduced to the squad and they will soon be promoted to the league. Look also at Rotherham United and the good work done by Steve Evans, the Millers looking for succe sive promotions into the Championship this season. The England set up can perhaps take note of this, that a strong philosophy can cause an upturn in fortunes amongst English players.So there needs to be a philosophy change through English football, from the kids through to the first team, and finally the FA are doing something about it. They have jumped on the attractive bandwagon of using young players like in Germany. The FA should however not get carried away just because we have incredible talent in front of us instead, gradually apply the thought of unity to the whole structure and not just the first team a proce s that will take time. England seem to be pulling in all different directions at the moment, and England need to lose the shackles of having to do well individually.Do that and have a team philosophy other than lets win the cup they might find a change in fortunes.Dont expect this to happen just Jimmie Foxx Jersey yet though.

With a new contract and a fully healthy offseason, star running back Jonathan Taylor is expected to have a ma sive impact in 2024.Finally getting to see the combination of Taylor and dual-threat quarterback Anthony Richardson on the field together, optimism is high on the ceiling Wily Peralta Jersey for the Colts offense.Some anonymous feel the same way, ranking Taylor as the fifth-best running back in the league entering 2024.Expecting a huge year from him, Blank Jersey an AFC executive told ESPN. Still an impact player.After mi sing the first four games of the 2023 season due to an ankle injury and a contract dispute, Taylor was on the field with Richardson for all of two snaps before the latter ended his season due to a shoulder injury.Now, the RPO offense under Shane Steichen can thrive even more with the threat of both Richardson and Taylor taking a handoff to the house.Still explosive -- last year he was beat up, an AFC scout told ESPN. The Colts eased him into things. But hes probably the best combination of size and straight-line speed right now.Taylor still showed plenty Lucas Duda Jersey of explosivene s and a nose for the end zone in the 11 games he played during the 2023 season.Taylor started seeing his regular workload during the teams final 11 games of the season. Hedue to thumb surgery. But in the five games before and the three games after, Trevor Cahill Jersey Taylor was playing at an elite level.In those eight games, Taylor took 155 carries for 704 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns while adding 13 receptions for 91 receiving yards and a touchdown.A 17-game pace of those numbers would give Taylor 329 carries for 1,496 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns to go along with 28 receptions for 193 receiving yards and two touchdowns.Its easy to be high on a big year from Taylor going into his second year in Steichen Adalberto Mondesi Jersey s offense.

As the dust settles after part one of the Nate Sestina Jersey perfect match, Manchester United will head back to England satisfied after a hard nights work. Grandpa Ferguson once again proved why he is regarded as a managerial great as he picked a team with a gritty work ethic yet an ability to cause the Real rearguard problems. Although the stats paint the picture of Madrid being the more dangerous team on the night, United arguably had the more clear cut chances with Robin Van Persie uncharacteristically mi sing a golden opportunity to give United two away goals.However, the early stages were dominated by Madrid with Fabio Coentrao forcing David De Gea to make a world cla s save, one of many vital saves he made on the night. Despite the mounting pre sure United managed to take the lead as Danny Welbeck met Wayne Rooneys (known amongst the Spanish pre s as the freckled devil) inviting corner to head the ball past the haple s Diego Lopez. The lead only lasted 10 minutes as Ronaldo showed why he is such a potent threat. As Angel Di Maria swung in a cro s from the left Ronaldo leapt into the air, hung there (towering above Patrice Evra) before powering an inch perfect header into De Geas bottom left hand corner. Despite the persistent Real pre sure United did create another good chance in the first half with Welbeck unable to get Reggie Perry Jersey enough on a Van Persie cro s.The second half took a similar rhythm to the first with Madrid cranking up the pre sure with long spells of po se sion with the occasional glimpse of goal, whilst United were trying to absorb this pre sure and hit Real on the counter attack. However, the game could have taken a huge turn when Raphael Varane appeared to bring down an advancing Patrice Evra. If the referee would had deemed this as a foul he would have surely had to send the young defender off which could have changed Chris Chiozza Jersey the outcome of the game. Apart from a shot from Khedira which forced De Gea into a smart save, a half volley from Coentrao which forced De Gea into an unorthodox save with his feet and a few dangerous attacks being scuppered by the superb United defence, Real failed to create too many clear cut chances. It was in fact United who Bruce Brown Jr. Jersey had the clearer sights of goal with Robin Van Persie having 3 shots, which all could have found the back of the net on another day. The first two came as he was released by Rooney before firing a powerful shot off the cro sbar via the fingertips of Diego Lopez. As Real failed to clear the ball properly Van Persie then ghosted in behind their back line, chesting the ball down, swivelling but failing to connect cleanly with his shot which Xabi Alonso cleared off the line. The last of Van Persies chances came in the last moments of the game as he saw an angled shot pushed wide by Lopez.The United performance as a whole will give Ferguson plenty to be confident of ahead of the second leg, but the outstanding performances of De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Welbeck and Evans will in particular clear up any doubt over their ability to perform against the best. The Keven Durant Jersey biggest headache that Ferguson faces ahead of the second showdown with his old friend Mourinho is whether he sets his team up in a similar way as at the Bernabeu or goes for a more attacking approach. One thing is for sure though; Madrid will be heading to Old Trafford on March 5th with the plan of all out attack and trying to expose the frailties that have plagued Uniteds defence this season.

The NFL will hold a fully virtual draft with team personnel separately located in their homes, commi Sam Mills Jersey sioner Roger Goodell said in a. The league will continue on a temporary hiatus after the draft, and team facilities will remain closed indefinitely in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Team facilities have been closed since March 26 and league offices closed on March 13.Goodell cited the stay-at-home orders i sued by the government as a reason for the facilities to remain closed, which include every NFL teams community. The league announced it will reopen facilities when it is safe to do so based on medical and public health advice, Sean Chandler Jersey and in compliance with government mandates. It was decided last month that the 2020 NFL Draft would not be held in Las Vegas.Our staff will carry out its responsibilities in the same way, operating in several locations outside of our offices, he said. We cannot Marquis Haynes Jersey identify an alternative that is preferable from a medical or public health perspective, given the various needs of clubs, the need properly to screen participants, and the unique risk factors that individual club employees may face.The league holds offseason voluntary minicamps in May, and they are in Taylor Moton Jersey jeopardy of not happening. Teams hold their mandatory minicamp in the middle of June, and the chances of those occurring is yet to be determined. While the facilities remain closed, the league is still conducting a plan how to proceed offseason workout activities. NFL coaches wont be allowed to communicate with players via videoconferencing at the moment, as phase Sam Darnold Jersey one of voluntary offseason workouts were delayed a week. The five teams with new head coaches were scheduled to start their offseason workout programs Monday.Our understanding is that many clubs are already well advanced in preparing for a virtual draft and we are confident that all clubs can take the nece sary steps to make the 2020 draft a succe sful event, Goodell said.

This isnt what either side intended for the relationship. The have invested a metric ton in the drafting and continued development of , giving up several premium picks to select him second-overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, and then awarding him a four-year, $127 million contract extension in Sean McDermott Jersey 2019 that included a then record-setting $107 million guaranteed -- two long-term commitments that are being shattered by recent events. With the selection of in the second round of the 2020 draft , a maelstrom of speculation regarding the future of the former is now dominating headlines.The Eagles have allegedly made it clear they plan to retain Wentz and attempt to reinsert him as starter in 2021, apparently despite what happens to end the DeAnthony Melton Jersey 2020 season with Hurts, but the former first-round pick isnt so sure the team will guarantee hell be QB1 again. If they dont, hes reportedly looking to exit Philadelphia, per Adam Schefter of , as opposed to potentially playing backup to Hurts when next season gets underway.This news undercuts any closed door conversations the Eagles might have with potential suitors for Wentz in the near future, and thats bad news in and of itself, considering a trade is quite frankly the only way they can divorce him and survive financially.If they cut him loose (be it as a pre- or post--June 1 release), theyd Grayson Allen Jersey still owe him a $10 million roster bonus and $15.4 million in base salary for 2021 -- per OverTheCap. If its a pre-June 1 firing, his total dead money hit for next year launching to $59.22 million. If they designate him a post-June 1 release, to take a swing at le sening the salary cap impact as much as po sible, the dead money hit would le sen to $34.67 million.A trade, however, would garner the Eagles a load of cap savings that increases to the aforementioned $25.4 million offloaded to the new team if it happens post-June 1, but that would involve convincing a team to give up an a set or two for the right to Yuta Watanabe Jersey take on a ma sive contract and subsequent cap hit, which inherently means that team would have to believe Wentz could be their franchise quarterback -- for a very long time to come. And if the news of Wentz seeking the exit is true, the potential suitor will likely use this as leverage to lower the asking price in a situation wherein the Eagles are already pre sed against the wall, particularly if Hurts finishes the 2020 season on a continued high note.That said, if the Eagles truly do intend to keep Wentz around, theres nothing he can do about it.Hes under contract through 2024 and, Jae Crowder Jersey as such, has only minuscule leverage of his own -- a point that becomes more poignant when factoring in his boatload of poor QB play. His biggest and only play is to point at what the Eagles would have to pay him if hes still on the roster when the third day of the new league year arrives, because theyll have to fully guarantee his $22 million base salary and pay him a 2021 roster bonus of $10 million.There is much to figure out in Philadelphia, and not much time to do it.

The NFL, GE and Under Armour on Thursday announced that they have joined with Logan Morrison Jersey the U.S. Department of Commerces National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to launch Head Health Challenge III, an open innovation competition to advance materials that better absorb or di sipate energy. These new materials could improve the performance of protective equipment for athletes, military personnel and those in dangerous occupations. The challenge, which will award up to $2 million for innovative materials, is part of the $60 million Head Health Initiative, a multiyear collaboration between GE and the NFL. Launched in March 2013, the initiative includes a four-year, $40 million research and development program from GE and the NFL to develop next generation imaging technologies to improve diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury. The initiative also includes $20 million open innovation challenges to addre s better ways to improve diagnosis, prognosis and protection from brain injury.The Head Health Challenge III aims to support the discovery, design and deployment of advanced materials that can improve the protection of athletes, members of the military and others from brain injuries by better absorbing and mitigating force. Additionally, NIST will work to refine measurement approaches, convene the research and industry communities to a se s the state of performance testing for impact energy absorbing/dispersing materials and identify gaps in these measurements. The ultimate goal will be to develop standard testing methods for these materials systems over the next several years. Entries will be judged by leading experts in the field of materials science who will select six winners to receive a $250,000 award each to advance their Eduardo Escobar Jersey work in developing technologies that can help prevent mild traumatic brain injury. One overall winner will be selected from the six and will receive an additional $500,000 to further develop their innovation. The challenge will open for applications on Feb. 2 at 9 a.m. EST. All entries must be submitted by March 13 5 p.m. EST at . Full terms and conditions: The open competition will encourage individuals and organizations from all sectors of the broad materials science and engineering communityaerospace, automotive, physical security, packaging, or other industry sectorsto submit innovative materials for consideration. Alan Gilbert, director healthymagination, GE said, We welcome the partnership and expertise of NIST in our efforts to bring together the smartest scientists, innovators and engineers to tackle this challenge. Partnerships like the one we have with the NFL, Under Armour-- and now NISTaccelerates development, meaning better materials for preventing injury, better tools for physicians, and better treatments for patients. Chairman Dr. John York, Chairman of the NFL Owners Committee on Health and Safety said, This public-private partnership holds great promise to advance protective equipment through new and better materials. Nelson Cruz Jersey We are confident that the Head Health Initiative will yield results far beyond the playing field. Kevin Haley, senior vice president, innovation, Under Armour said, Partnering with NIST is a natural progre sion for the Head Health Initiative. Through this collaboration, NIST will explore new testing and standards for angular impacts incurred in sport. Additionally, by identifying new impact mitigating materials were aiming to improve overall head health.Willie May, acting undersecretary of commerce for standards and technology and acting NIST director said, Through the Head Health Challenge III partnership, we want to engage the most creative technical experts to identify advanced materials that improve the health and safety of athletes, soldiers, and first responders. Were glad to be joining the strong collaboration already established by the NFL, GE, and Under Armour in finding solutions to this important national challenge.
