So, I had an idea that could solve all our problems.

Obviously, we have an issue with CB where Bailly is the only one who should ever play for us again. So, we can partner him with De Gea, with Shaw and Valencia as fullbacks. Whenever we come into danger De Gea can run back into goal, but otherwise sits as a CB. We know Dave has good enough reactions that this isn't an issue.

This solves our midfield problem, where Pogba can play in a 3 with Matic and Blind. This gives us great passing range and Pogba can do whatever he wants with the ball as if there's noone else on the pitch, like Ronaldinho in those Nike adverts. This also solves our problem of attack, where we have three players (Sanchez, Rashford, Martial) who want to play LW. With four players up front, we can play three left wingers. Sanchez, Rashford and Martial can all start on the left, with Lukaku as the man up top stretching defences and drifting out right so he can be our Belgian Robben.

I know Mourinho's too stubborn to implement this amazing idea so we probably won't see it, maybe a forward thinking manager like Tuchel or Sarri would try this out.

What do you guys think?

Why Is FIFA Condoning Gender Apartheid?

Over the past few months, the world has once again been reminded of the gender apartheid long practiced in Iran � and of the bravery of Iranian women languishing under it. Late last year protesters began removing their compulsory hijabs in public and waving them in defiant protest. At least 29 women have been jailed for seeking the freedom to show their hair. Some have been beaten. All that in a country in which husbands have a legal right to bar their wives from working and in which a woman�s testimony in court is worth half that of a man�s.

So why is Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, the world soccer federation, doing his part to condone the Islamic Republic�s misogyny?

blue footed boobie: Sep 14, 2012; UEFA SUPREMACY

How I became a Tottenham fan, a new soccer fan's story in 2018.

So I picked up this year's FIFA after having not played for almost 20 years. My first experience with FIFA was back in '98 and I have no soccer knowledge beyond that. I chose Arsenal in '98 because they were literally the first team on the list (lol?), but my friend who let me borrow the game also recommended them. After my first night in career mode, I was hooked. I thought Anelka was soccer's Michael Jordan, and I fell in love with how beastly Bergkamp was. Sadly though, I would have to return the game to my friend eventually, and my short relationship with soccer ended.

Flashforward to 2018 and NBA2K18 is so horrible that I bought FIFA instead. I chose Toronto FC as my first team to get familiar with the MLS, but this quickly let me down since I wanted to compete in the European competitions. I needed a new team, but had no clue where to start.

I wanted a couple of things with my new team:

Participating in the highest European competitions
Young with potential yet unproven
Premier League + La Liga preferred
I did some research for some young teams but I noticed one of the cover stars for FIFA'18 was Dele Alli. I didn't know who he was, but I figured if FIFA is featuring him, then maybe his team might be interesting. I quickly noticed on his team wereHarry Kane, and Christian Eriksen, two standout players I remember from my experience with playing my Toronto FC career mode. I knew I had found my side for a number of reasons

Two world class players to lead the team
Dele Alli, I know he's mostly unpopular for diving, but the EA marketing machine worked on a casual fan like me
Heung-min Son, I'm asian and having him as a fan-favorite sold me for sure
The name Spurs, if you're an NBA fan, you know the Spurs have been a top-class franchise for two decades
Lastly but most importantly, their stigma with not having won anything. I've only been on this sub only a month but 'It's Tottenham, lads' is everywhere. This actually made me root for them even more
I was pretty devastated by their loss in the Champions League, but it really showed me that I've become really invested into this team. I love following this team, and it's turned into a new love following world soccer. Thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. If you guys have any stories like this I would love to hear more about how you guys found your teams.

It was either grainy Serie A on RAI or whatever the basic cable Italian channel my cable company carried or Champions League on ESPN2 when I was a kid.

I remember watching a lot of Ajax matches in the mid-90s.
