This is the subconscious gaslighting that has been going on for a while that I am tired of.

After telling me that counterfeit kits are "dangerous" across the board, they drop this in the middle.

Warner used to work for sports brands Umbro and Puma, and helped design the strip Italy wore when they won the World Cup in 2006.

Warner says it costs about £10 to make an official replica.He says the mark-up is split between the club and brand, with the latter taking about 70%.

So they basically saying take that 600% -700% markup dont complain. At least you aren't buying 'dangerous" counterfeits.

No article on why the markup is so crazy though....

Kinda harsh on MLS yday, the kid hasn't been playing so being off colour isn't a surprise

Sign a LB and move MLS into midfield from next season let him be Rice's back up from LCM. Has too many Zinchenko defensive traits at LB. Gets flustered becomes rash and makes more mistakes trying to correct his initial mistake. Also has the habit of always holding/pulling on the shirt. Easiest way to pick up a bookings like that. Yes he is young and isn't playing his preferred role but there enough sample size now to know what he does and doesn't do well from that role. MLS starting at LB gives every team a target they can make a game plan for to try and exploit.

it's not harsh. he's not a LB. he's a midfielder who can play inverted LB brilliantly, but he doesn't have the pace required of a fullback with so so defensive instincts. if he had pace then he could make up for it, but if a winger gets in front of him he can't catch up. his midfield education needs to be restarted. all his best moments at fullback are clips of him in the midfield like the atleti game. he needs to be soaking up everything from zubi more than rice. he'll never have the legs or stamina to play like rice so don't even waste time studying him.

Looks like Greenwood is on the verge of joining the Jamaican NT for the playoffs, even though current players arent happy because he skipped the earlier qualifiers.

The fact that he refused an earlier call up tells me everything

I also didn’t know his connection to Jamaica is only through his maternal grandparents
:hubie:How committed can he realistically be to Jamaica

To be honest the article seems written to justify buying the counterfeit kits 😂

700% markup
Even experts have difficulty telling difference
Every counterfeit undergoes human quality control process
