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.

I do think that the box [Bucks]... they have enough guys to make this series. I do still think the sons [Suns] are gonna win, but that was a great performance to come home.

Conor McGregor is finished as a legitimate top-tier fighter

So him, him as a legitimate fighter that is over... he hasn't won, he's won one fight since 2016. And the guy he beat had has lost or has not won a fight in his last six fights. So he, he's not, he's just not going to be able to fight at a high level.

As of late 2024, McGregor has not won a high-level MMA fight since this take was made, largely due to injury and inactivity.

Shark Week is being used by the media to maintain a state of fear after COVID-19

I think that we're overdue for some of the shark. The media hasn't really like had anything to like keep us in fear about after COVID has kind of started to become an afterthought. The media day are overdue for another summer. You weren't scared about the story of the shooting that was planned in Denver.

While there are always stories about shark attacks in summer, they did not become a defining national media narrative on par with COVID.

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

I think this could happen, blood, because when you check the levels, Arsenal are owned by an American, Stan Kroenke... Liverpool, John Henry, American... the Glazers... JP Morgan saying he's going to put $6 billion into this team... And money makes the world go round, bro. You understand? Money. If you have money, you have the power.

The Super League proposal collapsed within 48 hours of its announcement due to fan and political pressure, making Troopz's 'it will happen' prediction incorrect in the short term.

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.
