I think Portugal against Chile is the most interesting game we could asked,
The European champions against the South American.
In my opinion, the winner in this match will win the trophy, beating Germany in the final.
My heart goes with Chile, but the odds are with Portugal...
Chile all the way!
I agree with you, Chile vs Portugal is the anticipated final of this tournament. I am convinced who will win this game, will also win the tournament. I expect a balanced game, it may even end in extra time or penalty kick |

There are 2 new coaches in the Premier League:
Mauricio Pellegrino will train Southampton. Last year he trained the Alaves who surprise reached the final of Copa de Rey.
Frank De Boer will train the Crystal Palace. Last year he trained Inter with disastrous results.
It will not be easy for them to get good results.

Federer had an easy time to dispatch of Alex Zverev today in the Halle championship.
The first set showed this and Alexy was getting very frustrated early on and this showed in his face.
He fell a few times in teh match and I thought he was going to retire from this finals match with an injury.
But he is contender and did not give up. Even against the odds of a healthy Roger Federer.
It was a pretty easy victory for Federer, winning in straight sets 6-1 6-3. It was sweet revenge for Federer, because Alex Zverev had beaten him last year in the semi-finals. He looks to be in extremely good touch for Wimbledon. Right , we can see a lot of difference between the last year's Federer and this years. It holds good to Nadal too because of his new forehand  We can expect Nadal and Federer beating all the NewGen stars like Thiem , Zverev , Khachanov in this Wimbledon . Roger Federer is already in great shape! Nadal has easily won the Roland Garros, in the same way I think Roger Federer will easily win Wimbledon. They are 2 of the best players in the last 20 years and among the best of all time |

On the side not, congratulations to RUSSELL WESTBROOK for winning this years MVP award. That guy deserve the award with the performance he put up this year and how he carried OKC to playoffs.
Russel Westbrook deserve the MVP award. The way he carry his team on his shoulder. Playing tremendous since day 1 of the Elimation round up to play offs. He's a triple-double machine. Hope Westbrook will get a good back court duo in the upcoming NBA season. Congrats to him, he deserve the win, if only he has a good partner like the ability of Durant they could have advance at least in the 2nd round. There is a lot of improvement in the coming season, no doubt westbrook can get another MVP award but I am hoping Thunder will also improve as a team. Congrats to Russ on an incredible season and the award. I love Westbrook, I love that he's keeping us in the playoffs. Yeah i agree with Russ being crowned MVP of the season. he did everything for the Thunder. and thats also the problem. does he make his teammates better? I dont think he does. thats why I dont think you can build a championship team around Russ. he is a one man team. its hard to say who you should pair up with Russ because even with KD it didnt always work that well. it was isolation basketball for both of them. While i didn't like it seeing Lebron finishing 4rth it's clearly he is better then that Lebron missed 8 games this year Cavs lost all 8.. Kawhi missed multiple games and Spurs won most of them.. Russ missed one game and his team mates lifted and won the game... so he is atleast at top 3. Well whatever all people say about his teammates making him better by feesing him stats and all that, he almist singlehandedly willed his team to a playoff spot. That's counting for a lot considering that they lost kd the same season. I think russ took it upon himself to step up bigtime since kd's departure really left a huge void. The man deserved the mvp more than anyone this season He deserved the Mvp award of the season! He made an incredible record of 42 triple doubles, with an average of 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists! |

Today an interesting final in Halle between Federer (the history of tennis) and A.Zverev (the Future of Tennis).
Last year here Zverev won in the semi-finals against Federer.
I am convinced that both will be protagonists at Wimbledon, with Federer who can return to the podium of the world ranking atp,
and A. Zverev who can improve his best ranking (10th)

The race could be wet. It will surely be an unpredictable and exciting race. Dovizioso 9th, Vinales 11th, Pedrosa 12th must retrieve many positions. If the track is wet, Petrucci and Crutchlow will be favorites, but Valentino Rossi can do a good race. |

Chile v Australia: of course Chile will win, but Australia will score too because they only failed to score in 1 of their 18 games, so Chile and both teams to score Germany v Cameroon: of course Germany is favorite but they only need a draw here  Both Chile and Germany are obviously favorites. Both teams to qualify need at least 1 draw. But it is important to win the group to avoid Portugal in the semi-finals. For me both teams will win the game but Chile will win the group. The semi-finals will probably be Chile vs Mexico and Germany vs. Portugal |

With his retirement Iniesta I feel Barcelona will lose an important player, inesta it is a player who can drain the movement of the ball from the middle of the field. Proved his contribution several years ago with barcelona he always played as a starting line-up.
actually he has worry about his future in Barcelona because apparently the owners still not provide an extended contract for him even he was expect could retire in Barcelona but if the club decide will not renew the contract i think this year maybe will be the last season for him in Barcelona Next season will be very interesting to see the news of Barcelona. There will be a real revolution with a new coach (Valverde) and new players especially in defense and midfield. It will be difficult to replace a champion like Iniesta. However, Barcelona can start from the best attack on the world (Messi-Neymar-Suarez) In modern football you whole team not just attackers, team is Defense Middlefield and forwards. Without all 3 nothing can be done, but this is still Barcelona. What you are telling is true that for football they need defense, middlefield and forwards, but for barcelona Messi one is enough to win the game. without him most of the games they have lost it. Messi is enough for Barcelona to win? Nope, he was not that good anymore last season. He could not help Barcelona to win main titles last season, it means that Messi is not the only one who can make Barcelona win. He is just a player who wont be able to make his team win by himself without the helps of other players. There is no more "one man sho" soccer game in this world. Certainly not just 1 player to win trophies or championships, but helps to have big champions like CR7 or Messi. Barcelona needs to regenerate his team but it is much easier to start off if they already have an extraordinary attack like Suarez-Messi-Neymar. Despite a bad season, Barcelona scored over 150 goals, of which 116 in Liga, 26 goals in champion's league. I am convinced that Barcelona, also helped by Messi, will return to win already next season. |

Here are the first odds for who will win the next champion's league 2017/18:
Bayern @6.00
Barcelona @6.00
Real Madrid @6.00
Juventus @8.00
Chelsea @12.00
Manchester City @13.00
Manchester United @15.00
At. Madrid @15.00
Psg @17.00
At this moment there is a great balance between so many teasms.
Very important will be the summer session of Tranfermarket: At. Madrid has the market blocked for the Ban, Real Madrid can lose CR7, Juventus may lose its best defender (Bonucci).

Conte wants Alex Sandro and Bonucci from Juventus. Chelsea offered over 100M to have both players.
If Alex Sandro leaves, Juventus will take one between Danilo, Darmian or Fabinho
Il Manchester United wants Perisic of Inter. Its cost is about 50/55M.
Inter wants Inaki Williams (23 years old) of Ath. Bilbao. Its cost is 50M.

This will be perfect racing weekend. We have Formula1 in Azerbaijan and MotoGP in Motul TT Assen. All racing weekend is from 23 Jun - 25 Jun.
Interesting will be to see battles in both formula and motogp, in f1 races will give slight little chances to Mercedes and in motogp think this track is better for Yamaha drivers.
I agree with you, In F1 the mercedes are favorite. Assen seems to be a good track for Yamaha. Who will win the Gp of Azerbaijan: Hamilton @1.90 Vettel @2.80 Bottas @6.50 Raikkonen @12.00 Who will win the Gp of Assen: Vinales @ 3.50 Marquez @ 3.50 V. Rossi @ 3.75 Dovizioso @7.50 Pedrosa @10.00 |

Roger Federer @3.50
Andy Murray @4.00
Rafa Nadal @6.00
Novak Djokovic @6.50
Milos Raonic @12.00
Nick Kyrgios @17.00

I think Federer will win without any problems at Wimbledon.
Djokovic and Murray are not 100% this year, Nadal is not a specialist.
A. Zverev may be the surprise of this tournament
