Where is this Foden PR campaign coming from?

Commentators on USA have praised the guy probably 15 times saying hiw you gotta feel bad for him, he's on a redemption arc, he's an exceptional footballer etc.

Ever since that all timer assist to Eze for the england team it's as if there's been an entire machine trying to rehabilitate his image for the world cup and for what?

Regardless of his performance this game, Foden's been wank all year and much of last year and probably doesnt truly deserve to go to the world cup. For the national team he's just as bad because he is the embodiment of a system player. It's not like he's had constant injuries hampering his development or any known personal tragedies either.

Like where was this level of media sympathy for Saka? Rashford? Sancho? Hell even James Maddison whose has a horrific injury that ruled him out for 90% of the season doesn't get this level of PR dedicated to him.

Does Fodens dad own Sky Sports and NBC or something?

Lack of subtitles option on non-english films

I've been wanting to watch Chungking Express which is in Chinese, but I can't get subtitles on it. There isn't even an option for subtitles when I watch the movie, but for The Pitt which is in English I can pick subtitles in whatever language I want.

Is there a way to remedy this?

If chelsea don't make champions league they are fucked financially. They've got a bloated squad of chronic under-performers who are all on 5+ year contracts and while BlueCo's strategy is to buy these young promising players on the cheap and sell them for a sizable profite what they've neglected is that the only way to improve a players market value is to have them play good football. Much of the chelsea squad barely play because there's simply not enough space on the bench for all of them.

Much of the established core like Enzo, cucerella, Joao pedro, etc will be tempted to leave while they can and win bigger and better things. While the more mediocre second line of players can either stay, hope another tram is stupid enough to sign them, or head off the Strasbourg.

And that's not to mention how this impacts the culture of the squad, just look at guys like garnacho.

I don't see how chelsea recover rom this and it seems they're sleepwalking their way into a serious long term malaise thanks to so much attention being on spurs which are admittedly far worse. We might not see chelsea in the UCL for a long time. What do you guys think?

● The states of Abia, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo are consolidated back into a singular eastern region.

● The eastern region woukd be called Biafra with a regional capital at Enugu.

● Regional control of internal security(like a more powerful state police), education, internal spending, etc.

● FG controls foreign affairs, currency, national security, power grid etc.

● Profit sharing agreement on oil revenue

● Some sort of FG representation

● Maybe separate sports leagues/teams and Olympic committee.

The rest of Nigeria remains how it is.

What do you guys think?
