There is a new theory of football being a weak-link sport. Which is to say, a fullback like Nélson Semedo is a more important purchase for Barcelona than Phil Coutinho, despite the Brazilian obviously being a superior player. Tom Bogert elaborates.
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville truly are the best punditry duo on English-speaking football programming.
Football fans living in America wouldn’t have had any clue what they were missing had it not been for social media and the digital revolution, providing that demographic with a window to gather around and watch Carragher and Neville trade witty jabs while genuinely elevating the discussion.
That’s the impossible tightrope they’ve managed to perfect: No matter if a viewer is a diehard football junkie or someone ambivalent to the sport but was dragged in front of the screen by the aforementioned junkie, they’ll enjoy Neville’s and Carragher’s analysis.
