Gareth Southgate is to blame for England's Euro loss due to delayed substitutions

I think south gate [Southgate], I think you took too long to meet the changes because when you brought on stack off [Saka] is when they equalized... Sack [Saka] was 19. How'd you make it a 19 year old, 10 [take] the final penny [penalty]? How can you make a 19 year old?

The take is an opinion on coaching tactics that cannot be definitively proven right or wrong, but it reflects the consensus criticism of Southgate's management in that final.

England will go on to do big things at the 2022 World Cup despite the Euro final loss

Right now I'm even more confident that we could go on and do bits of the World Cup. They might not win it, but maybe we could get to a semifinal again. In previous years it was a bit different because when we lost, we were like, yo, this is the end... Right now we've built and we just need to continue.

England reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, losing to France. They did not reach the semi-finals as Troopz hoped, but they were competitive.

The European Super League will happen because money makes the world go round.

I think this could happen, blud, because when you check the levels, Arsenal are owned by an American, Stan Kroenke... Liverpool, John Henry, American... Money makes the world go round, bro.

The European Super League collapsed within 48 hours of its announcement.

Chelsea didn't exist as a top-tier consistent club until Roman Abramovich arrived

A lot of Chelsea fans came into it because obviously Abramovich went there with the money and then their club came alive because nobody fucking knew Chelsea until Abramovich come. They were a cup team. When it came to that consistency in the league, the man was shit.

While Chelsea had some success pre-2003, they became a perennial powerhouse only after Abramovich's takeover.

Mikel Arteta should be fired as Arsenal manager

I am Arteta out... He needs to fuck off. If [Kroenke] doesn't spend enough money, then he needs to fuck off... This is the lowest we've ever been [as a club].

Arteta survived this period and eventually led Arsenal to multiple title races in 2023 and 2024, proving Troopz wrong in the long term.

The US soccer team needs European coaches to reach the next level

I think you need better coaching. So European coaches coming over here will help you... You have to spend money on grassroots... Because, like it or not, we're the ones that understand the best football. We've got the philosophies.

The USMNT has continued to fluctuate between domestic and foreign-influenced coaching, but the 2026 World Cup remains the ultimate test of their development.
