There is no basis to compare the German Bundesliga and the Brazilian Serie A. The former is well organized, enjoys more sponsorship, and has fewer corruption issues. The German league also has better pay for players and coaches than the Brazilian league. Most national team players of Brazil play in clubs in Europe because of better work conditions. It can be assumed that Brazil is blessed with more football talents than Germany.
Europe leagues are better than the rest of the world leagues and when we talk about the top 5 leagues we are trying to compare the incomparable. Bundesliga and the other top teams in Europe are financially better than most of the other teams around the world. They attract people from around the world because they offer the advantage to play and live in an European town. Their salaries are quite good comparing to Brazil I assume. Young talents of Brazil were picked early by European teams. Obviously Brazilian play a lot of football since the younger age so their talents improve a lot. |

Well yesterday we have the tie of Ajax, and today another tie of Feyenoord, refered to Ajax i see the yesterday team , and man, this its not looking good for them, i dont see a better team than last year, about Feyenoord i already said this year they are gonna not fight for anything, they always after became the champion make a bad season, i dont know why.
Maybe it's a bit too early to draw conclusion just after 2 rounds? Especially considering that they dropped points in Rotterdam derby - game which isn't easy usually. Here in my country it's popular to say that defending trophy is more difficult than winning it and probably it's true that Feyenoord isn't main favorite to win it again. After 2 rounds 4 teams have perfect score - AZ, Twente, PSV and Heerenveen. From someone seeing from a far position this league, I find it normal to see AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven in the top of the table. Ajax missed points after a draw, well this could occur to any team. For Feyenoord, 0 points after 2 matches is worrying. They even lost Johan Cruijff Shield vs PSV Eindhoven although finished the first in the last season with only two defeats.. |

Yes, it is clearly not easy to multiply 3 goals against Udinese, especially when they act as a guest club which must get a lot of pressure from the home supporters, but they managed to answer with a victory, even they could create an early goal.
Udinese were not without a fight, they also put a lot of pressure on Juventus and got a few chances, it's just that in this match the Juventus defense worked well so they could secure the goal without conceding even once and gave Szczesny his first cleansheet.
Udinese must recognize Juventus' superiority in this match.
Udinese isn't in fact a bad club nor a good one. It is a team that sits most of the time in the middle of the table with sometimes a victory or a draw vs top teams. When they face Juventus for example, they are aware that their history contains many defeats vs them so maybe they aren't psychologically prepare to face them. |

I think with the current conditions De Paul will not accept Al-Ahli's offer. In addition, Atletico will not let him go. Atletico still desperately needs strength to continue to compete as La Liga champions. With Atletico's good financial condition, of course they will not let go of their main players. In addition, even if De Paul is offered a big salary, he must stay in Europe. The conditions of the European league are more favorable at this time to create records and champions. I don't think De Paul is a person who likes money.
De Paul isn't the first players that Saudis want to recruit from Atlético Madrid and he will not be the last. They tried to sign Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Stefan Savic but all these players didn't move and they played in ATM last game in La Liga. De Paul contract ends in 2026 so it is unlikely to see him leave ATM soon. |

Everton will be relegated this season, they escaped last season. This season will not escape again, the team needs more investment to buy more players or else they shouldn't expect anything less than relegation. They played poorly in the too in their two games without a goal is something to worry about.
Everton finished 17th in the last season and 16th in the season before it. They have to fight against Burnley, Sheffield United, Luton Town to avoid the relegation zone and I am pessimistic about Everton performance right now. Maybe many assume Pochettino will not be able to take Chelsea to the top 4 EPL but this is only the first half of the season we have not seen half of it we give him time is Pochettino able to be considered worthy of being at Chelsea?
We will see, after all Ten Hag first games with Manchester United were catastrophic failure for exemple. Pochetino debut With Chelsea isn't good. After a logical draw vs Liverpool, they were defeated by West Ham badly. 3 goals aren't acceptable for a team with their weight. |

today I will shout out loud that I will stop betting on Roma which is very bad because it appeared at home but did not have a spectacular performance and was only able to secure a draw against a not so strong team like Salernitana.
Yeah people should think twice about betting on Roma since their results are quite random. A really nice start for Mourinho boys in Serie A, a promising season they will have apparently after a draw vs Salernitana.. and regarding the Udinese vs Juventus match it looks like this will be a very impressive first match for Juventus even though there are many problems and obstacles that must be overcome but surprisingly Juventus are starting to prove that they will restore their former glory.
Juventus are leading with 3 goals to 0 vs Udinese. The game is almost finished and Chiesa, Vlahovic and Rabiot all scored a goal. We might expect a Juve return this season? Lazio game will finish soon and they are late 1 - 2 vs Lecce  |

So, if we look at Al Nassr progress, we can see that they have experienced a significant setback in their performance because the two matches they have played have ended in defeat. However, if you look at the statistics of their game, of course they are playing quite well, but they have had difficulties scoring goals in the last two matches which made them waste so many golden opportunities to score goals.
Al-Nassr results aren't good at all comparing to the players they have and the investment done. In this match Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Brozovic were all present, yet they lost with 2-0! Al-Hilal result isn't any better with a draw vs Al Feiha. Waiting to see his recent recruited players playing so we might a different outcomes. Al-Ahli did good for the second round and Mehrez scored a goal. They are now in the second place in the ranking just under Al-Ittihad |

Dortmund started this season with a passable result vs Koln. It is true Koln is not an easy opponent and could make surprise sometimes. I don't know if Dortmund will improve and avoid losing easy points since this time Bayern Munich looks good with Harry Kane joining them among Sane and other good players. It appears also that Union Berlin will play good as the previous season with a nice 4 - 1 victory vs Mainz. |

Football is a sport with many surprises, I guess that's why we are passionate about football. Last night, football had a surprise again. I did not expect to be eliminated Dinamo Zagreb by AEK. Congrats to AEK. AEK will face Royal Antwerp play-off round. I think both teams have equal chances.
Looking at the playoff round, the toughest draws are Rangers-PSV and Braga-Panathinaikos.
Neither me expected to see a team like Dinamo Zagreb which used to play in advanced stages being eliminated in the third qualifying round by AEK Athens! Zagreb tried their best to get the draw in the second leg and lead in aggregate but extra time wasn't in their side at all since they received 2 goals on it.. 6 teams will pass play-offs stage by the end of the month and it is already hard to pick a choice here. |

Union Berlin is a tight team, but with the nature of an opening match at home, they will be determined to bring home a victory. Union Berlin is active in the transfer market, bringing in many new players and successfully retaining most mainstays.
Mainz continues to trust Bo Svensson and appreciates the team's stability. So Mainz is neither stronger nor weaker than last season. In this match, I predict the home team will prevail, and the victory will belong to them.
Union Berlin started the game pretty much good, they scored 2 goals in the first ten minutes of the match then Mainz missed a penalty then scored a goal. When you thought that Mainz might return in the match, Union Berlin added the third goal by Behrens who scored a hattrick. |

It's just an unbelievable! A football club would prioritize building a team around Mbappe and leaves Messi, thinking they'll win the Champions League trophies? Despite all the controversies, we can't ignore the truth. They're in for a surprise. I hope they learn a tough lesson this season. In today's match against Toulouse, Mbappe's goal didn't secure a win for psg; it only managed a draw instead of losing points. The club has a big issue, and it's not going away anytime soon.
One person doesn't guarantee that he can be the saviour of his team every time. Messi failed to do it with Barcelona and Mbappe will never be able to do it. PSG problems are quite chronic now with their fluctuating strategy that depended on big names that were not that helpful and now they are turning into recruiting french players to consolidate the team. Although the money spent and the good players they have, PSG still waste points.. In today's match, Lille, Brest and Reims won their games and Nice ended its match with a draw vs Lorient. The place of the "used to be" top teams in the table right now is incredible. |

Everton was almost degraded in the last season and they're not making a big transfer in this season, so I don't expect anything change in Everton, maybe this season they will enter degradation zone. I think Aston Villa might able to score more goals since Everton performance is really awful. It's over, turn off the television because Aston Villa is obviously win in this match  In the previous season, Aston Villa were doing pretty good. They finished 7th with only one point difference from Brighton in the sixth place while Everton were just 2 points above the relegation zone without counting the time they spent in that zone.. This season doesn't seem better for Everton, they are 4 goals behind and will definitely lose this match too since only few minutes left in the game. No need to mention that they are in the bottom of the table right now after such heavy defeat. |

but it seems that England is having hard time to bring it home, no matter competition gender
Luck ain't in England side at all these years. Women national football team reached the final game at least while Men failed to do that. Spain is a good team and was expected to win by the way. The third place went to Sweden which was expected too according to bookies. I thought that Australia might do something since they are hosting this version of World Cup but this didn't occur. Congratulations to Spain for the victory! |

With the level of Jude Bellingham's prolificity in front of goal, many who probably don't know him before he transfer to Real Madrid might think he was a striker before going to Madrid but that is very far from the truth.
Playing him as the false 9 in the new formation of Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid has really helped the Englishman to improve his goalscoring records as he became the first player since Wesley Sneijder in 2007 to score 3 or more goals for Real Madrid in his first 2 matches for the Spanish club. With his current form, Bellingham is likely to finish the season with over 20 league goals.
Bellingham has to avoid injuries at any cost in order to get a record with Real Madrid. He is doing a good job in the games he played with them. Real Madrid needs him but also need to fix their issues in the defence line. Real Madrid were 1 goal behind Almeria since the first minutes of the game which is quite ridiculous..
In a previous post we talked about how Real Sociedad gonna win and I assumed positive ending but what happened right now is quite disturbing with a vert late goal destroying their dreams. . |

Time after time I can say Leverkusen is getting progress and they can even have better performance with their coach Xabi Alonso if they could buy some players in this transfer window to improve their team and invest some money while they could not and hire many players but I still think Xabi Alonso can be the reason for them to even get the ticket for champions league in the next of season for another time.
Leverkusen made a good job winning vs Leipzig which started their season by defeating Bayern in SuperCup with 3 goals to 0! Now they lost 2 - 3 vs Leverkusen. For the other top teams that played today, there is Dortmund, Freiburg and Wolfsburg that won their matches. For M'Gladbach they failed to get more than 1 point vs Augsburg. M'Gladbach doesn't seem willing to improve. |

I don't know what is surprising more, a PSG draw vs Toulouse, although they pushed Mbappe and Dembele into the game, or Lyon losing by 4 goals to 1 vs Montpellier.
Montpellier last season wasn't that good at all. Lyon started this season horribly with 2 defeats including this harsh one vs Montpellier.
Otherwise Luis Enrique must be in an awkward situation with the dysfunction that his team have.

It seems Chelsea spending too much money made Pep Guardiola to talk about this team, he said if he was spending too much money like Chelsea they wouldn't keep him alive.
While we all know Chelsea spent too much money after Todd Boehly owned this team because Chelsea spent more than one billion in this time and spending this huge amount of money by this team made Pep Guardiola to talk about their team.
Spend whatever you want but the most important thing is to see your team compete for something if not winning a title. So far the Chelsea has nothing and people are waiting to see if they have another zeroed season or not.. Today's match came with Manchester City victory vs Newcastle even if it was with 1 goal and Manchester United defeat by 2 goals vs Spurs. Such a bad news for ManU fans and for Ten Hag too. |

And Napoli already won their game with a superb performance of Osimehn scoring 2 goals.
Remember he is the target of many top clubs he still have time for leaving them.
I don't think Osimhen will leave Napoli this season at least. He renewed his contract with them if I am not mistaken! And yeah that was a nice start from him, scoring two goals just in the beginning of the season. That's promising. In addition to Napoli victory, there is Martinez who scored also two goals for Inter and Fiorentina won by 4 goals to 1 vs Genoa. Juve, Lazio, Roma and Atalanta will play tomorrow with a clear advantage for them, dunno if they will be ready enough to win. |

Today Real Sociedad will host against Celta Vigo
...
My prediction is very clear that Real Sociedad will win this game at least 2-0 or 2-1.
Real Sociedad are leading with 1 goal to 0 in the first half of the game vs Celta Vigo. The goal was scored in the 22th minutes and Sociedad kept dominating the game while Celta Vigo are trying to get a draw. I expect Real Sociedad to win too. Real Madrid will play later vs Almeria and I think they will win with more than 2 goals difference. Barcelona should win tomorrow vs Cadiz and the hardest match is between Atletico Madrid and Real Betis by far this round. |

I don't understand what's going on with this Liverpool side, is just funny how the goalkeeper and the defense act like it's their first time of facing the Bournemouth side.
Well, Liverpool didn't let those two errors get them down, they restarted their style of play and got a spectacular goal from Diaz and later on a penalty scored by Salah. I expect Liverpool to come out and get more goals in the second half.
The captain (van Dijk) of the side needs to wake up, he's getting very slow by the day, I think Liverpool need to get a better CB.
Liverpool 3 - 1 Bournemouth, the goal scored few minutes after Mac Allister got a red card which I assume it was abusive, I mean he made a mistake by touching the leg of Bournemouth player but the referee could gave him a yellow card in my opinion. Liverpool had many opportunities including Salah when he tried to pass the ball under the goalkeeper legs but he failed. |
