Unai Simon started every game at the World Cup ahead of David Raya. The Spain coaching staff must be rewarding… I mean, they couldn’t have possibly objectively thought that Simon was better, could they?
Star power is increasingly positioned as Premier League players going to ply their trade in underpowered leagues, for teams with an outrageous financial advantages.
PSG’s commercial revenue is 5x that of second-place Marseille
Bayern have won 15 of the last 20 Bundesliga titles
Barca and Madrid revenue is €2bn combined, and the next best, Atleti, is at €454m
These awards reward the glitz of beating up on the little teams... and WC runs (Unai Simon). Feels like an intentional tax on Premier League success vs a damning indictment on a lack of stars or interest.
Yes, the World Cup winners’ back-up goalie missing out to the World Cup winners’ ever-present starting goalie is a total unmitigated farce. 🫡

There was a mixed zone once where a young Kane first mentioned reaching the level of the very best in the game. It took us by surprise but then Kane was underestimated all the way through. Orient, Millwall, Norwich, Leicester, Spurs, Bayern, Ballon d’Or. Some run that. Fair play

2 - Only two players from Europe’s top-five leagues have reached 70+ goals across club and country in a single season this century:
Lionel Messi in 2011/12 (82 goals)
Harry Kane in 2025/26 (73 goals)
Virtuosos.
Bearing in mind that Zhukov spent weeks failing to capture Yelnya, to the extent that he had to stop & regroup before the final push, maybe, von Bock did the rational thing after inflicting enough damage?
In a way, Yelnya foreshadowed Zhukov’s repeated & bloody failures @ Rzhev.
(listens to episode 3)
Do we really find out more?
@almurray: “…so there's a dash of good luck and swift action on the part of two junior officers in Third Panzer, who grabbed the bridge early intact on the 26th.”
I mean, 🤷
PS When using a stock photo… it was a road bridge
So, @james1940 0:34-0:39:
- Budyonny warns: “Withdrawal of Southwestern Front will lead to losses in men and a large quantity of equipment.”
In fact, Budyonny warns: “DELAY in withdrawal of Southwestern Front will lead to losses in men and a large quantity of equipment.”🤯

Et voilà, la pièce de résistance.

Has anyone on @WeHaveWaysPod bothered to check whether this makes any sense?
