Manchester Liverpool: Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford Are the Stars of the Game
They launched 17 shots in Manchester Liverpool match, but United managed to stop them all because things were too predictable, and Roberto Firmino, who was filling in for Darwin Nunez, who still had two matches left to serve his headbutt suspension, did not pose a threat.

Today is the Champions League league phase draw, and McDuck Manor is a mess.
We have a Scottish man and an English woman arguing over which team will have a new moment of glory and which will be eliminated in the first round.
We have two fans of the two teams with the most titles trying so hard to be invisible.
We have a desperate man who can't let his Scottish uncle learn that he supports an English team.
And we have a woman who is depressed because her also English team, is playing Europa League.
The idea of Scrooge as a Celtic fan I read it on this really good fic, The McDuck Family Lawyer. It wasn't that hard to select the others characters and the teams.
on red and love and rivalries for @sebsrainbowbicycle ❤️
happy birthday my dearest beloved, i love you more than words can express. interestingly, today is also gary neville's birthday, so here's some gary and jamie carragher (and other assorted cast) for you. i love you ❤️
Those were really good Football team headcanons 👏 I think each one you mentioned fit great with that sports team.
Could you please share more headcanons about the other characters’ fav teams 👀?
Oh, I love this.
Ok, I think not all the characters would be a football fans. So, if is not in this list, they don't support any team, or don't care about the sport.
Webby - Liverpool
It was hard for Webby, her grandma is an Aston Villa fan, her hero is a Celtic fan. Which team should she support?
What moves Webby is love, dedication, passion. And it was the passion the Liverpool fans show what make her a fan herself.
It was a secret, until she found out Donald is also a Liverpool fan. Just another thing to bond about for them.
Huey - All of them
Huey loves his family and friends, so he can't take sides. He supports all the teams, depending on the circumstances.
Dewey - Manchester United
The second Dewey found out that Della was a Manchester fan, he took her side. You know that's a Dewey thing.
Sadly, he forgot that Manchester was on downhill since 2014. He has to watch the Europa League and begs that next year will be better.
Louie - Liverpool
All the triplets were Liverpool fans thanks to Donald. When their circle grew, Huey decided that he wanted to support all the teams, Dewey took Della's side, but Louie stay by his uncle side. Donald made him a Liverpool fan, he will stay a Liverpool fan.
A bit bias for Donald and Louis relationship? Yes. Always.
May & June - Liverpool
Just like their brother, the twins wanted to follow their dad. Easy.
Violet - Internazionale
Violet was never that interested in football. She knew the basics, the big tournaments and big teams. But then, she got a sister.
An italian sister.
An AC Milan fan sister.
And Violet knew what she had to do, and became an Inter fan. Just to get under Lena's skin. That's such a sisterhood thing to do.
Gosalyn - Borussia Dortmund
One more that has her focus on passion. Gosalyn in 2017 is a latina, but her last name has a bit of german flavour. That's where she found her team, a team who's rebel and loyal.
Perfect for Gos.
The last game of the 2022-2023 season broke her heart.
B.O.Y.D. - Real Madrid
Sweet baby B.O.Y.D. has a whole world to discover. He spends most of his time with the rest of the Team Science, so he listens to Fenton's stories about a team that can make miracles happen, a team that doesn't know how to give up, and their victories can only be described as epic.
Yes, Fenton's influence turned B.O.Y.D. in a Real Madrid fan.
Real Madrid bias? Of course.
José - Flamengo
I asked an expert, @fantasticenthusiasttale, for this one.
She told me that José Carioca lives in a neighborhood in the city of Rio de Janeiro called Vila Xurupita, which has its own soccer team, Xurupita FC. He even played for them.
But, her headcanon is that José is a Flamengo fan. And who I am to disagree?
Panchito - Necaxa
To tell the truth, I know nothing about Mexico football. I stared at Panchito and said, this is the face of a Necaxa fan.
So there you have it.
Gladstone - Manchester City
The notorious freeloader Gladstone Gander of course is a Manchester City fan.
He knows nothing about the team's history, but when he found out the team has a almost bottomless wallet, he became a fan.
Matilda - Rangers
Like Violet, Matilda began supporting Rangers only to get under Scrooge's skin.
With the time, she actually became a passionate fan who enjoyed going to the games. She and Scrooge have been in many Old Firm (Rangers vs Celtic) games.
When the team was sended to the 4th division, she went to every game until Rangers returned to the Scottish Premiership.
Ludwig Von Drake - Rapid Wien
In his youth, professor Von Drake enjoyed seeing the football Rapid Wien showed. A team for the working class, who fights day by day.
Von Drake was happy to see that Rapid still was the most successful team of the country.
But professor didn't see with good eyes the grow of Red Bull Salzburg. A team born of a corporation, who denies its own history.
Von Drake awaits for the resurgence of Rapid.
Mark Beaks - Inter Miami
When Messi signed with Inter Miami, Mark Beaks flew to the city because he knew that was buzz worthy.
That's the only reason he has to go to the games.
This was so much fun. Thanks for the ask @ducktales-and-ducks, sorry I couldn't finish this one earlier.
Do you have any opinions on the England men's team? Always find your takes on teams interesting
it's appropriate that lionesses are the primary hunters and leaders in the wild, this is the same for england so without further ado... an analysis of the shit england team
🏴 THE THREE LIONS 🏴
Okay, so what do England men need to change? Southgate. His tactics and his line-ups and how he tells his players to play are the problem. This generation of England men's players are truly a golden generation with so much talent but a complete inability to lose it on the pitch. John Stones' talent come from his ability to play centre-back like Leah Williamson and drop into the midfield to create an overload that pushes forward an attack, he does this for city but he doesn't do it for England and that's the same across the pitch.
The first thing that I think needs to happen is a change to the line-up. Southgate has identified the problem down the left. He was starting Alexander-Arnold in the left midfield who was playing consistently poorly so brought in Gallagher to replace him but he did equally as poorly. However, the problem down the left is Foden, he's playing well, but his role is a left-winger and he's not playing that role.
He drops into the central attack (to cover for Kane's drop into the midfield that covers for stones' insistence to stay back instead of dropping into the midfield) and creates chances, but this cuts off the more positive chance creation along the wide areas. Foden shouldn't come off the pitch but there needs to be a shift down the left and this should come from the line-up switching from the 4-3-3 that Southgate has been playing every match to a 4-4-2 diamond like this:
Gordon would solve the problem down the left, playing as a natural left-winger that regularly links up with Trippier at club, exploiting that link would allow for a more positive chance creation on the wings and stretch the play into both wide areas. Gordon plays classically like Lauren Hemp whereas Foden prefers to play with the freedom that is normally afforded to a player such as Lauren James because of the ability that they both have to create magical moments out of nowhere.
Furthermore, Saka has been one of the most consistent players for England down the right wing and having effective wingers creates an incredibly wide pitch to play on and gives England so much more goal-scoring potential. He plays like Beth Mead if anyone wants a Lioness reference.
Moreover, two forwards in Foden and Kane allows for more players in the box, which England has been lacking, and gives Foden and Kane the freedom that they have been craving because they can compensate for each other leaving their natural positioning. Kane has the freedom to move into a midfield role with the assurance that Foden can remain as a central target in the box. This is an issue that similarly crops up in the Lionesses with Russo's drops into the midfield however Toone can cover for her but that's not a role that Bellingham plays especially with no cover in the midfield with Stones refusing to create an overload so he can't drop forward to play it without leaving Rice isolated.
Furthermore, this allows for Gordon to be brought onto the pitch without Foden's essential creativity and magical moments being sacrificed, something that's crucial to England.
Additionally, a tactical shift needs to occur with Pickford being given the space to play his natural role as a sweeper-keeper and good on his feet much like Hannah Hampton. He needs to drop into the backline to give Stones the ability to push into the midfield and break down the low block that most opposition uses against England and create chances centrally.
Ultimately, England needs to make a lot of changes tactically and in terms of the line-ups and I think that showed in the last five minutes of the game against Slovenia, Gordon was on the five minutes and was the key players in two chances being created. He's crucial to this side and they NEED to use him, the pundits, the commentators, my mum over 100 times before, during and after the match are all begging for it. Southgate needs to use him. They also need to change their tactical instruction to the players because Pickford and Stones are being told to play how they are playing, that is not of their own volition.
The difference between England and the England men's team is a decent fucking manager. The FA needs to pull their heads out of their asses and accept the men's team can be managed by a foreigner because they aren't taking Eddie Howe from my club and the fans can't be trusted with a woman yet (the best England option is Emma Hayes fight me). English managers are shit, honestly, they should just say 'fuck it' and hire José Mourinho at this point. At least, he'd make them play like a team, ANYTHING, ANYONE would be better than Southgate at this point. It also needs to be a tournament manager so not Pep, saw someone saying Pep should be England manager and fuck off he'd be shit at it.
