If we believe the news that says that Barcelona has increased its debt by 30% (four hundred million euros) over the past year, then its prospects become incomprehensible to me. By the way, I don't know the intricacies of the rules of financial fair play, but it seems that Barcelona does not follow its spirit - it spends much more than it earns and this cannot end well.

Honestly, knowing Sporting well, I don't see him being able to play these amazing games. They can even provide an interesting spectacle, for being a young team and fighting with all their strength at all times of the game. But Man City won't have much trouble winning both games. One thing is for sure, Sporting's coach is not known for playing only defense. So he will certainly seek his luck, but he will hardly be able to surprise.

yeah, interesting, was not following their qualifications, but Canada is on the top, and probably secured for World Cup now
would this be their first appearance on World Cup?
Mexico and USA should be good as well, Panama is far worst than them, and Mexico is playing Panama in next round, so this could be it, Costarica is far down from them, four rounds, four points, it is hardly manageable to be fourth

Madrid success defeat Athletic Bilbao last match on final Spain Super Cup where Luka Modric and Karim Benzema become super hero with one goal each other and give first trophy for Real Madrid. I think will be the same composition player for Madrid again faced Athletic Bilbao on Cope del Rey quarter final on Friday night, I think Madrid want to get all trophies in this season because still have good chance on La Liga, Champion League and now waiting for Madrid get back Copa del Rey after missing with long time.

From the 2nd Bundesliga, St. Pauli will play against Union Berlin and Hannover 96 against Leipzig (both other teams from the 1st Bundesliga). And Hamburger SV against Karlsruher SC.
This means that at least one club from the 2nd Bundesliga will reach the semi-finals.

You can't compare these both countries in same way because both are living in completely different geopolitical area's and have different security and other measurements so if no team boycott New Zealand then it's not mean now all teams having good idea about Pakistan. We have many other serious threats around Pakistan specially after Taliban taking control into Afghanistan and Pakistan is already having history of many terror attacks and other serious concerns which are creating problems for many other countries around the globe.
About media this blame game was in and will be in for many years in future because both countries having many things similar like corruption and hungriness and lack of education with just very few peoples enjoying luxury life and most of the population suffering.

I hope Dybala will stay. Making a duo with Vlahovic should give him extra motivation. But one has to doubt his fitness levels. He has become terribly injury prone. It's also a waste of his talents playing him so far away from the opponents penalty area.
There have been plenty of speculations about why he still hasn't extended his contract. According to Italian media, one of the problems was that he didn't have an agent with a professional license. Not really sure how that is possible and how he was able to work with that agent in the past. Juventus is also questioning if Paulo is worth the money he asks for. It's a fact that Dybala is not a 30 goals per season type of striker and the management is correct in questioning should we pay this lad €10/year. It would be awful to lose him for free though, especially if he goes to Inter. 

Barcelona are getting confident that they can agree the Aubameyang loan deal before today's deadline. Some journalists are saying that they cannot register him due to salary cap but they are trying to offload Ousmane Dembele to make room.

In any case, just the fact that the match will be held at the home stadium already gives Paris Saint-Germain some advantage. Also, let's not forget about the two-match format of the teams' confrontation, and if Real Madrid is quite satisfied with a draw in this match, then I think PSG will try to play for victory in any case. In any case, everything will be decided on the football field and the fact that Real Madrid will be quite satisfied with a draw does not mean that the club will play for a draw, because this is not quite in the nature of the team and the composition is strong enough. Therefore, we are waiting for a hard match with some caution from both clubs, because everything will probably be decided already in Madrid.

I think what he is trying to say that in the last 20 years or 10 years ... barcelona always reached semi final of the champions league at least , clearly it's not kind of dominatinhg definition , the one who win it the most it might could be defined as domination here but i guess there is no single team dominating the champions league.

Real madrid just had the better statistics above all which yeah for me it's still cant be defined as dominating.

Juventus have been impressive for so many weeks in the Serie A. Juventus haven't been losing in the league for nine weeks. They are one of the hardest teams to defeat in the recent times. And their next match seems to be against Verona home. It is good to see Juventus recovering and going to upper positions in the standings. They are one of the worthy teams of the Champions League and they can make it there at the end of the season as long as keep this level up. As they have signed Vlahovic also, I'm expecting them to be more effective.

I believe Arsenal not thinking where he went. The important thing is this sale must give them cash because they want to hunt the new players. but the time is running out, the deadline until Monday, Juventus or Barcelona must thinking fast. I don't know what strategy Barcelona for use when Aubameyang has a deal because they have Ansu Pati, Ferran Torres, Adama Traore, Ousmane Dembele, and academy graduates also. will he fill up the bench also?.

The Lille - PSG game is getting close and I think that PSG might have some difficulties in this game. First of all, Lille are obviously not playing like in the previous season and they are having a problematic season now. However, their recent form has actually been decent. And maybe they can be good enough to do the same Lyon did to PSG some time ago. But Lille will definitely need to score the first goal of the game. If PSG score first, then I don't think that they would lose any point. But in the other case, Lille can at least have a chance for a draw in the worst case.

That second set should have gone to Collins side, she had 5:1 and Barty was moving uncharacteristically bad. Then she found the strength and turned it around. Australians must be happy with winner in women's part of the tournament and with all Australian final in men's double. Pure celebration Saturday, and then men's final to clear the hangover.

Napoli have the same chance with Inter Milan how to get scudetto but depend can Napoli keep consistent with their performance or not, still have match for Napoli make points the same with Inter Milan because two weeks later have match between Napoli vs Inter Milan, if can take three points from Inter Milan will give chance for Napoli how to get three points and keep competitive on standing position. I think Inter Milan left match with bigger team, next match AC Milan waiting for and later chance for Napoli for giving chance to Inter Milan keep safety on first standing position or take chance lead Serie standing fixtures.

Given all these events, the show turned out great. And if you take the final result, then it arranged for both teams - Brazil did not lose and Ecuador scored an important point. As for refereeing decisions, if this match had an important tournament value, then most likely they would have caused a scandal and a long discussion after the match.

Now we're in the quarter finals I'll give my predictions for the rest of the tournament:

Gambia 0 vs  2 Cameroon
Burkina Faso 0 vs 1 Tunisia
Egypt (P) 0 vs Morocco
Senegal 2 vs 0 Equatorial Guinea

For the semi's obviously depends on the draw (which I'm not exactly sure how that works in the AFCON), but I'm feeling a Senegal vs Egypt final, which Senegal take in normal time. Probably a 2-1 victory or 2-0 victory.

But isn't it final already that they will resume next month on the 1st week?
No import, I think it's not exciting, however, I would just accept it as it's better to have that than no PBA at all.
I hope there's no more changes and we will finally see the return of the PBA conference, I think it's almost a month already since it was stopped.

Inter are ahead of Napoli by only 4 points, but you need to take into account that Inter played one game less, so they can potentially further increase their lead over Napoli. Juventus are gradually gaining form, but they need to strengthen the attack line in order to count on something more. I didn't like how they played against Milan because the Juventus attack didn't create any really dangerous moments.

Galatasaray really need to improve their game immediately. I know that they are doing well in the Europa League. They have done more than just "well" actually. They finished the group stage as the leader in the end. Their performance was really mesmerizing. I watched them closely especially in the Marseille match that they got a huge win. But something is odd when it comes to the Super League. They've changed their manager but I think they shouldn't have done this. I don't think that the real problem is about the manager.
