Re: Scheffler

There is no question he is the best golfer in the world, however the guy needs to find a personality. Guys like Homa, Rahm, De Chambeau, Morikawa, McIlroy, Woods & even Tyrell Hatton show their emotion, whereas this dull guy simply walks unsmiling around the course.

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread

Thought the ref spoiled the game yesterday. Arsenal committed 20 fouls and didn't receive one yellow. In the first half alone there were at least 3 clear bookings that went unpunished. If reffed properly, the game would have been more open. Arseanl fouled with impunity, which created a very dull sp...

Difference for England yesterday was our pace. Pace to get ball away from breakdown, pace to pressurise in defence, pace of our backs and the search for outside space. We can improve enormously but this is the way to go.
