More impressive than the top contract to me is the run of mill players contracts.Yep!
Shohei Ohtani holds the highest yearly contract in sports by average annual value (AAV), making $70 million per season over his 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. [1, 2, 3]

Ha ha good comparison. His “managing” after they scored was woeful.Is England's manager related to Raheem Morris? As soon as they got the lead they went into a defensive shell and played not to lose ... and lost.
It did remind me of Raheem Morris's prevent defense. The England manager played it like he was scared. You can't win playing scared.Ha ha good comparison. His “managing” after they scored was woeful.
Seemed like the moment they subbed Gordon off England's press disintegrated. It was their press that had them in control to that point. After that Argentina set up on their side with Messi lobbing crossers.Is England's manager related to Raheem Morris? As soon as they got the lead they went into a defensive shell and played not to lose ... and lost.
My point was this wouldn't happen if the leagues weren't healthy and drowning in cash.Agreed, that is more a thing here in the U.S

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict the final score is 1-0.I am looking forward to Sunday’s game.
Spain has been incredible defensively. I think my money is on them.
