I'm not convinced about all these new-fangled tech things being used in football... 
I mean, what's wrong with good old-fashioned instinct and human intuition? Do we really need AI to help players kick a ball into the net? It just seems like another way for the rich countries to get ahead of everyone else. And what about all the jobs that are going to be lost because of automation? I don't think it's as simple as 'augmenting human decision-making'... it's just going to make some people redundant, in my opinion

I don't think it's as simple as 'augmenting human decision-making'... it's just going to make some people redundant, in my opinion man i cant believe englands gonna use ai to improve their football game its kinda like having a personal coach or something lol but seriously though im not sure if its gonna make a huge diffrence in the 2026 world cup i mean dont get me wrong its cool and all but what about the smaller teams that cant afford all this fancy tech? isnt that gonna just widen the gap between them and the rich teams like england? and whats next gonna be robots coaching the rest of the league lol anyway im hyped to see how it plays out
