Why are the England players wearing sports bras?

[Sweet FA]

This has probably been answered somewhere else but as per the thread title really. I saw it last week when they were training and again just now on the news.

It'll be some kind of sweat recycling suit. Like in Dune.

Protects against the horrors of chafed nipples

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

To stop the boobs from jiggling.

It's performance tracking kit- it tracks heart rate, heat loss, exertion, movement and some other stuff I've forgotten

Is this the new Snood?

I bet Fergurson wouldn't stand for it.

 

[Manter]

Time in aerobic and anaerobic zones and gait cycle! Those are the bits I forgot!

It's proper cutting edge sports sciencey stuff Actually quite interesting what it tells you about how hard players are working, likelihood of injury etc. The principles were developed in rehabilitative medicine, but predictably have really taken off where the money is

They are wearing bras so that the press can't take naked pics of them a la Croatia

Yep, Man City players have been using those for a few years.

Looks like Joe Hart's one was a bit too tight.

So one player is confident of surviving a ball in the nuts but clearly feels a need to protect his goatee...

It's about bras, so I guess probably legit.

Also, TIL Manter doesn't have a willy.

No reflection on you - just not something I habitually consider on here unless it's pertinent. Urban posters are generally nongendered mannequins afaic lol. It gets a bit embarrassing when I'm told but then forget though. I'm sure cesare has told me their gender on multiple occasions for example, but I still wouldn't put money on whether I've remembered it right

I'm a 21 year old female blonde hottie btw. That's what my okcupid profile says anyway.

I wouldn't normally be bothered if you remembered it right or not, either

On the up side, I do remember that it's pronounced CHEZ A RAY.

[Manter]
