But Salah has often lined up as a 9. Do you not think he and Ekitike/Isak could lead the line, with Wirtz behind them?

Or Endo. Gomez. Robertson. I mean - Robertson can play right back too.

And why can't the players press for 90 minutes? I swear I've watched them press much harder than that the entire match twice a week for the past few years.

Much more likely to see Grav playing center back than Endo playing midfield. Slot has his favorites. It's destroyed the work ethic in the squad.

Big assumption there that Slot actually plays 4 defenders in the back four.

It's not about the boys. The frustration around the side is that the leadership gutted the squad (Diaz, Nunez, Elliott, Quansah, and the youngsters). That compounded with Slot not seeming to trust proven players like Gomez, Chiesa. Finish it with the only solution being add attacker.

What did Joe Gomez do to be iced out like this? It's a simple thing to play players where they're comfortable.

But if this gets into an under vaccinated community, particularly schools where vaccination rates are below 75%, then we would likely see multiple paralysis cases. Fortunately polio transmission season is during the summer months.

If wild type polio jumps to the US there likely won't be much in New York City-region. The 2022 outbreak was widespread. Our group modeled about 10,000 infections. Most of the population is exposed already or vaccinated, so we would not expect many if any paralysis cases.

What does this mean? Throughout the EU and the US we use inactivated polio vaccine. It protects against paralysis and severe disease, but does not provide sterilizing immunity that would prevent infection.

The current ICE expansion is just that - an expansion. It is expanding on judicial practices and principles that have been established over decades. The precedence is already set.
