Partizan is a quite good team and I don't think they will get kicked at this stage. APOEL is a known team that was beaten with 3 goals vs a team from Sweden! Tomorrow there is many games and I think Praha, Young Boys, Koln, Villarreal, West Ham and Fiorentina won't have hard moments. Otherwise, Nice, Wien, Antwerp, Sofia games aren't that obvious tho.

Benfica is up against Dinamo, and they will probably end up qualifying for group stage -snip-
Benfica is leading with 2 goals after 60 minutes of the game against Kyiv. So far it is a reassuring result if they could keep it that way or add another goal. Zvezda is behind after receiving another goal, 3-2.. I didn't check Bodo result but they won against Zagreb! Overall, a part Benfica (until now), second leg will be difficult for all teams since the goals difference aren't that big

I have no idea if Musk is interested in a club, it's a businessman and business, and that doesn't go hand in hand with United. They have enough problems and don't even play champions league this year. Musk can buy almost any company he wants. United is a big name, but from a sporting point of view it is not good. And being completely last after 2 matches is also a good result. I do wonder how much time Ten Hag will have before they intervene. Suppose they have won 1 x and lost 5 x after 6 matches, isn't it time to send them away and get a trainer with a lot of experience? Ferguson could get them out of this lousy situation.
Elon Musk is joking when he said that he will buy Manchester United. Obviously I doubt about him being 100% not serious, he has a point or two to check, the reaction of the club, the popularity of the tweet or if there is a stock movement... I prefer to not see him involving in football, he did enough damage everywhere (tweeter, crypto...)

Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal showed how brilliant he is in their last game against Leicester,but one little concern they might have is their second choice striker Nketiah,the player might want to live after Mikel Arteta promised him first team,it seems as if he is now choosing Gabriel Jesus over him.In the game at Emirate stadium last Saturday,I saw a sign of frustration on the player's face when the camera flashed on him.I believe he must be frustrated at the lack of minutes at the Emirates.Now there are now concerns over his stay,because they both scored seven goals at the pre-season,showing that the player is also inform.It is yet to be seen whether the player might want to live or not.But I hope he stays.
I assume Artery will make him start in games vs weaker opponents or once the rhythm will be intense to let Gabriel rest more time. Otherwise, he has to prove himself now more than the past. Being behind a top player is a hard mission but many succeeded on it. I just wonder why Arteta is making him play for only 8 minutes while he can do it before 15 minutes once he gets 2 goals advantage.

After the successive defeats of ManU and the apparent need to an an attacker, they seem to be very close to sign Matheus Cunha from ATM for £42m. This might improve their attack line but definitely not the dysfunction of the midfield nor the defence line..
Signing Cunha £42m? According to transfermarkt, the market value of this player is only around €30m, it is crazy to pay £42m for him. I also doubt if Cunha is a proper player to improve Man United performance, TBH I don't see something special from this player. In my opinion, Ronaldo is still better than Cunha although he is almost 38 years old. Actually, Man United doesn't need to look for a new striker since they already have Ronaldo and Martial. What they should do is using a proper strategy to optimize their attackers' productivity and they must ensure all players play solidly as a team. Then, choose a new captain and sell Maguire as soon as possible. It is what they should do! I believe if you bring the whole substitute players from another team they will perform better than the main ManU team right now.. So until he gets the lurking power of ManU, he will be fine. For the asking price, yes it is abusive, there is like €20m extra to be added for his real value but I assume it is the contract effect. There is still 4 years in his contract with ATM..

Roma dominated their game but could not capitalize on the chances they had. Roma missed too many chances to score. They have good attackers who can score goals, they have to work on their finishing to win games comfortably and also work on their defense.
Kluivert will leave Roma and Belotti will be officially with the team in few days if everything ends well, which will boost the attack line of Roma. Dybala and Zaniola threatened Salernitana much, they didn't succeed this time but that won't be the case next time.

to all preev lovers, and for those who are used to it and find it difficult to change their habits https://preev.net/ is online ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) so it's not a .com domain, it's a .net there is also a different script (thanks to ETFbitcoin for the suggestion) which uses CoinGecko API for conversion That's a clever move from you ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Simple link and easy to use website. Yes I recommend it and would keep using it. I would like to see some altcoins there like Doge, LTC, ETH.. The site is running good in chrome, duckduckgo browsers but seems to have problems in UC Browser, it struck in "Preev...net... Fetching exchange rate from CoinGecko..." page. Keep up the good work ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Actually when Messi transfered to Paris sent Garmain, this time Barcelona really crisised a huge amount of financial problems. But now Barcelona already balanced more than €150M for transfer market. They already contracted Robert lewandoski, Raphina and kounde . Now Barcelona FC the top most favourite team in the la Liga Spain as like real Madrid FC .
Barcelona didn't resolve its crisis by selling and reducing the number and wages of players but by selling media shares and other stuff... So they didn't fix this chronic condition, they just delayed it until they will be able to get some trophies and rewards.
I just remembered the poll above and wonder know how the people that voted yes are feeling right now ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

It is becoming glaring that Sadio Mane was the pillar holding the forward of Liverpool. Sallah could boast of his golden boot because Mane made the chances for his goals last season. Now he is no more in Anfield Liverpool has struggled to earn just 2 points in two matches. I am beginning to feel they will likely get a draw at Old Trafford making their total points 3
It is sad to see them losing precious points like that. It is like letting City run alone for the title. Mane is a key player in Liverpool, that's pretty much obvious but I believe that Klopp could figure out a better way to get through this situation... Now for the ManU game, Liverpool will destroy them if both will play the same way they are doing right now. Well, I assume ManU will be more concentrated than the previous match, so yeah the mission of Liverpool will be quite hard in Old Trafford!

Juventus - Sassuolo game also started and it hasn't been very exciting so far. It is an interesting choice by Allegri for the attacking line by the way. We see a Vlahovic - Di Maria duo as forwards. But who knows maybe it will work.
Juve 1 - 0 Sassuolo and Di Maria was the one that opened the scoring list for Juve this season. It is like a message to everyone that you wouldn't regret the signing ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And another goal! It is 3-0 now thanks to Griezmann. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ATM is on fire in this game. 3 goals to 0 in few minutes before the end of the game, makes them the team with the best start along with Villarreal and unlikely for one of them, they will face each other in the second round. Barcelona in the other hand, have to focus on the next match vs Sociedad which is a hard team. Real Madrid seems to have the easiest match between them vs Celta Vigo.

It is a perfect start for Napoli. After losing some important players in the squad I was having some doubts about them but they proved me wrong by this wonderful result. It isn't easy to win by a score like 5-2 against an annoying team like Verona normally. This was like an answer to Roma I think because I believe that we will watch a really great competition between these two teams throughout the season.
That score was a surprise for me honestly! I didn't expect them to get 5 goals! I even hesitate they could take 3 points vs Verona, which as you said is an annoying team that can make the top teams lose points against them! Funny enough, that was the hardest match for this round and ended up having the highest scoring. Meanwhile, Roma just scored a single goal vs Salernitana which was hovering around the relegation zone in the previous season.. Not the best start for them tho. Juve 0-0 Sassuolo after 18 minutes. Di Maria and Vlahovic are in.

Bayern Munich and Dortmund both started by getting two wins but there is a big difference between these beginnings at the same time. Because Bayern Munich have got very comfortable wins. But Dortmund didn't seem very trustworthy in both of their matches. Maybe they defeated Freiburg like 3-1 but the goals came consecutively late in the match. This might be a bad signal for Dortmund if they don't improve their effort.
Dortmund are doing their best and I don't expect them to improve drastically, maybe slight change related to individual performance, nothing more tho. They will play in the upcoming rounds vs Bremen and Hertha, so keeping good results shouldn't be that hard but later, Hoffenheim and Leipzig will be quite harder to defeat. Dortmund shouldn't stress by Bayern performance, they should try to stay stable and avoid ManU phenomenon = 0 concentration.

After just two rounds from the start of Ligue 1, you find PSG in the first spot alone as usual (without considering the delayed game between Lyon and Lorient of course). We always heard how PSG is good because of money, picking top players...etc but what happens all the time is that the other teams are just failing and missing points vs weaker teams. Brest 1-1 Marseille was the newest thing but Lille, Rennes, Lens weren't any better.. PSG will play vs Monaco and Lille next. If it wins against them, I suppose by the 11th round (vs Marseille), the difference will be 10 points (again).

Liverpool should finally be able to get their first three points this season by beating Crystal Palace. They were good against Fulham offensively actually but they just messed up at defense. But I don't expect them to repeat the same mistake. Crystal Palace are still a vulnerable team as we saw it against Arsenal as well. Sometimes they can be effective in attacking but Liverpool should be able to handle that.
Crystal Palace should not be underestimated but we all know that Liverpool is thirsty for these 3 points. 20 minutes before the start of the game and the odds are 1.29 for Liverpool and @11 for Palace! BTTS @2 and 1.7 if not. Interesting, yet risky to not consider them scoring in two matches.

Bayern Munich now leads 3-0. Wolfsburg's players are unable to put up any resistance. Bayern Munich's players are attacking a lot, and Wolfsburg's players are only repelling attacks, not being able to counter-attack. Wolfsburg had few attacks in the first half. But Bayern Munich became more attacking in the second half.
The game finished 2-0 for Bayern. Wolfsburg were lucky it didn't end with 4 since Mane got 2 goals denied due to offside! Anyway, it is an expected good result and good start for Bayern. In the other game, Union and Mainz got 1 point each after a 0-0 draw. Dunno who performed better but getting 1 point each isn't a bad result.

Lazio didn't make a good start actually. I mean that they won maybe but their performance was far from satisfying. Red cards were like flying in this game and Lazio still managed to win by 2-1. However if they are struggling against even Bologna in a home game then there is still something wrong about them now. They should work harder to be in-form. Immobile started the season with a goal and this was not surprising at all. He is a wonderful striker for the team now.
Losing your goalkeeper since the beginning of the game due to catching the ball outside of his zone is a bad thing. Not only they have to bring the other goalkeeper but also lose another player.. Even Fiorentina suffered to get 3 points vs a team that recently joined Serie A.

A very heated day in the English premier league I was happy to have watched both Matches, I think Nottingham Forest we so lucky today it could have easily been 2:1 to west harm but after several close shave and even a missed penalty Nottingham Forest came out top and in the London game, Chelsea and Tottenham definitely entertained us to a well play match and even at the end of the game gave us good frame.
I left Nottingham leading with 1 goal in the first half and they kept this score until the end. West Ham has the worst start in EPL after ManU of course. Now the draw between Chelsea and Spurs is good news for City and Arsenal but also Liverpool since it can catch them after winning vs Crystal Palace tomorrow, I highly doubt they will disappoint tomorrow.

Milan and Inter started the season by winning victories. Milan had a really satisfying performance in offense but I can't say that for their defending. Because they conceded 2 goals in this game against Udinese. However this is still a very good start for them of course. They were at least better than Inter I mean. Because Inter had a really serious difficulty in winning against Lecce. The winning goal came in the last moments. Lecce are a new team around here and they were nearly stealing a point from one of the biggest teams of the league.
Milan won comfortably unlike Inter that suffered until the end of the game to get 3 points although they scored the first goal in the first minutes... They shouldn't let this happen again ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) So far the results come without surprises, classic favourites teams won. We will see if Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina will win today or not ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
