🛠️ Technical Area
Dowman's England call-up is the kind of move that rewards form over reputation, and it's refreshing to see someone actually earning it.  •  Zakaria pulling out of the Switzerland squad is either smart management or a sign that something's genuinely wrong, and Monaco aren't saying which.  •  City are doing what City do—winning when it matters—while Tottenham's position at the bottom is less a surprise and more a confirmation of what everyone's known for weeks.  •  Carrick's right to be livid: that handball is a penalty in any sensible interpretation, and VAR's explanation will be precisely as convincing as it always is when you disagree with it.  •  Atlético hitting back at Mourinho with a printer message is either the funniest thing Madrid's done this season or a cry for help—probably both.
