A think the single biggest factor is that the rules are different now. There are several examples of rules changes that have come in during the last 50 years that would increase scoring. The backpass rule, 3 league points for a win (it used to be 2), stricter foul rules and substitutions all come to mind.
I am not sure about 100%, but in my experience Leyton Orient fans often support a premier League team as well. Normally Arsenal or Spurs. Both clubs are close to Leyton and they don’t play each other very often.
Haaland made his choice. He could have played for England and probably gotten into the later stages of major tournaments. It was his decision to make and he made it. Haaland was born in England.
I don’t think that’s fair. If you’re taking Odegard out of the conversation, you have take Ramsey out too. That said, Wales still had a better team. Joe Allen was better than Norway’s third best player. Williams and Hennessey were also good players. Norway really doesn’t have the depth of quality that Wales had 10 years ago.
I seem to remember Sir Alex refusing to register Manchester United in the FA Cup because there were too many matches. I don’t remember how it was resolved.
