@Kidfried Been really enjoying it. In the same position as the men’s football in that I quite like the England team themselves but it feels like treason to fully support them. Would be nice to see Australia lift it but I think they’ll have a tough time against France.

The Japanese team is by far my favorite (especially now my home country has been knocked out), but unfortunately they don't broadcast a lot of their matches here. Don't know if that's any better on Scottish tv?
And I was about to post about how Liverpool are being really slow with Lavia, and why are they haggling over a couple of million.
Then they have a £111m bid accepted for Caicedo! 😆
That is an astonishing amount of money. Which makes me wonder about the Bellingham deal, and there was obviously other things other than money as to the reasons why Liverpool pulled out.
And I hope this doesn't mean Salah is going to Saudi like has been rumoured, as I thought that would be the only way Liverpool could go this high.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

@JohnnyShoulder I don’t think Jude would have been interested anyway; no Champions League for Liverpool and he’s already shown he’s not afraid of laying abroad so why wouldn’t you go to one of the biggest teams in the world with Madrid?
I guess Liverpool have plenty of money in the bank from trimming their wage bill down but that does seem an insane amount!!
@JohnnyShoulder Since they pulled out of the Bellingham deal and he went to Real Madrid, Liverpool have sold both Fabinho and Henderson so lost some more 'big' wages off the bill as well as received transfer money for those. Bellingham would be a 'Luxury' player with all the 'attacking' players they have and needed high energy 'strong' players to win the Midfield battles - especially a defensive Midfielder.
Lavia never seemed like a 'Starter' to me - a lot of potential, but with Bajectic, you have a 'young' player with a LOT of potential. Caicedo seemed to be their 'first' choice but seemed the cost was prohibitive and with Hendo/Fab, the 'urgency' wasn't as high. Now they have gone, as well as Milner, Ox and Keita, it seems Liverpool are in a better position to pay the money for their 'first' choice.
It maybe a LOT of money, but they got Mac Allister for a 'bargain' if reports are to be believed and if they spent £140-150m for both Mac Allister and Caicedo, you'd not be too surprised.
I doubt Salah will leave - his team has stated that they were very happy at Liverpool and wouldn't have signed an extension last year if they weren't. Doak could replace Salah - maybe not this season, but long term when he does go.
If you look at Liverpool, the 'big' money signings tend to be those you expect to play in the spine of the team - the GK (Allison), CD (Van Dijk) CDM (Caicedo) CF (Nunez) - their biggest transfers are in the Spine of the team so far...
Edit - it seems Caicedo doesn't want to move to Liverpool...
I think the money has always been there, the owners have just chosen not to splash the cash like this before. Last year they bought Nunez for 70+ million and that was almost the whole budget for the window. When they bought Van Dijk and Alison, they used the money from selling Couthino. Unless they've had outside investment which I'm not aware of. Now that they have played their hand, other clubs now know this and might react accordingly.
.....and now the player has apparently rejected Liverpool out of respect of all the work Chelsea has done. I hate the transfer window! 😂

@Kidfried I've been following it very closely though I follow the domestic game, too. The quality is generally very high. I was also pulling for the Japanese team but Sweden played a tactically strong game and got the result.
The second finish from Haaland was absolutely class, I can’t lie.

Going to quite annoyed if Eric Dier is our new captain tomorrow.
If it’s not Sonny then I’m starting a riot.

I've gotten right into the Women's World Cup so much so that I stayed up until 2am this morning to watch Spain v Netherlands. I've enjoyed it and it has improved a lot from years ago, especially the goalkeepers.
The Germany v Colombia match in the group games was a fantastic match.
@ApostateMage I've really enjoyed the womens world cup and tbh enjoyed womens football in general for a while, I'm so glad the USA are out they have an air of entitlement about them
