•
2025 marked a significant year for the U.S. mens national team, as they prepared for the 2026 World Cup co-hosted with Canada and Mexico.

Despite winning the Premier League last year with the same squad, Liverpool spent a record-breaking four hundred fifteen million pounds in the summer. However, results have been inconsistent, and Slot feels his thin squad isnt getting the credit it deserves. The team has experienced a rough patch, including a four-game losing streak, but has since rebounded with seven games unbeaten.

Slot misses options from last season and notes that Liverpool has earned fewer points when falling behind. He also mentions the sale of Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez for one hundred ten million pounds, which has impacted their net spend. Long-term injuries have cost the team around one hundred fifty-one million pounds, but Slot highlights the positive impact of Hugo Ekitiké, who has scored four times more than Isak despite costing less.
