How about Roma vs Lazio?

Lazio have also won 2 match earlier this season and they are the current leader of the table. Besides Juventus, I think Lazio will also be a match that can prove that Mourinho is worthy of managing Roma. Without excluding other teams on matchday 3-5 then I believe Roma vs Lazio will be a good match too. I don't know, I don't think Mourinho deserves to be tested anymore when he's in charge of a team because he's had a good career before with several teams in Portugal, England, Spain and Italy.

Red Bull cancelled Albon’s contract and let him go to Williams.  And it had something to do with Merc...  They can’t allow to let a Red Bull driver drive a car with a Mercedes engine since Red Bull will be making their own engines.  I’m not sure about the exact details of his current contract.
Anyway..  Interesting pick by Williams.

Knowing the leadership style of Red Bull and specifically Helmut Marko, there is no doubt that if necessary, there will be changes and all these contract extensions do not say at all that the composition of the teams will remain unchanged for next year. Also, I would not be very surprised if something like this even happens this year, if some driver from Alpha Tauri or Red Bull has an unsuccessful series. By the way, I am also surprised that the contract with Tsunada has been extended right now, and not at the end of the season. I don't think that Bottas will take revenge on the team in any way because of the non-extension of the contract, because in any case, Bottas remains in the Mercedes system and the contract with Alfa Romeo was signed precisely because of this and now it is just clarity and stability for Valteri, because before that the contract with him was extended these few years at Mercedes only for the next season.

I didn't notice that the NBA will start soon, at least preseason is still exciting too, though not as exciting as the regular season. I would not expect a lot but seeing them play in just a few minutes, that's already a good display to the fans and the fans will be so happy with that.
We have a betting thread also, but it's not active yet, probably bettors are waiting for the regular season before they will start putting their money.

I don't think anything is really a test for Djokovic at the moment. It's too easy, with Federer and Nadal fading out of the picture; there's no-one really at his level anymore.
I'd say the only person who can really beat him is himself, as when he blew up at the Olympics. His biggest challenge I think is not the other players, but retaining motivation and concentration in match after match when regardless of who stands across the net from him, he knows he's considerably better than his opponent. It's certainly a great position to be in, but when the whole world knows you're the best, this can bring its own, psychological, challenges.

A really tough game is waiting for Juventus I think. They are already struggling a lot recently and Napoli started to the season with two victories. If it was a home game for Juventus here, I would say that they would have a bigger chance to win. However, Napoli have a really big advantage of playing home here. And I see that Napoli are slightly the favourite side according to the odds of the game. I don't expect Napoli to lose this one.

I agree with this. The situation of Barcelona right now is worse but they have lot of good young talented players. They however sold some this transfer window but despite they have upcoming stars I feel like Fati, Pedri which could become a proper star if trained and mentored properly.
They have some good experienced players and they can help young players develop. Also Koeman are giving them chances as well. Still kinda feels like he is kinda biased with favouring players from his country. I am sure there will be others feeling same like me.

In the past season Kane is the player with most goals and most assists in Premier League. Many of his assists are for Son.

Son and Kane will still be key players for Spurs in this season and because Kane missed weeks of training. He will need more time to get his best performance back.

One month is enough for Kane to do more training and is really ready for matches with his best fitness.

I wouldn't dare to bet on Milan to win the match. Both teams won the first 2 matches but the beaten teams by both Milan and Lazio are not great team. But if you are so sure that Milan will win then you get a very nice odd 2.1 but I think you should not spend to much as the league is still in the early stage where unpredictable may come anytime. Other match to watch is Napoli vs. Juventus, I have to say it is a must win for Juventus if they do not want to get bigger gap with other top teams.

Now that's what fans must realize that there are other players who have the ability at the moment Barca have quality players in every line but they haven't been able to prove it yet this season should be the right time to prove unfortunately not seen in full maybe still need a few more games.

In modern football, the whole game cannot be kept on one player, so I believe that Messi's departure is significant, but it is not critical. Barcelona's attacking line is very strong and has a lot of talented players who can prove themselves and realize their potential when the place of the top scorer in the team was vacated.

Playing defensive might help Leipzig until a point but it is still very hard for them to resist against a team like Bayern Munich. Somehow, they will find a way to score sooner or later. But starting defensively might be a good choice for Leipzig still. If they find an early goal, they would try to keep the score by playing much more carefully. But if Bayern Munich score first, then Leipzig will have no choice other than playing an attacking football.

Actually, the loss of points with such an opponent as Leipzig can then hurt at the finish, so I think there can be no talk about putting up a reserve team in any case. Another question is that it is possible to leave individual players in reserve at the beginning of the match and release that Lewandowski if there is a need for him. On the other hand, I have an ambivalent attitude to the full rotation of the squad, despite the fact that the championship has just begun and the players must play their sports uniforms. However, the last word in any case belongs to Nagelsman and how he is going to alternate Bundesliga games with Champions League games, especially games with a potential competitor in the fight for the title of champion.

I'm more convinced that Bayern Munich will use half of their key players against RB Leipzig. It's not just the first match of the Champions League that is very important, the match against RB Leipzig is also important to secure their position.

Maybe a player like Lewandowski will not play, because he is a very reliable player in Bayern Munich attack against Barcelona later.

Atalanta looks to have problems with their attacking ability in 2 matches so far. They scored only 2 goals and it is abnormal. In the past 3 seasons, Atalanta is the most terrible team in Serie A and they scored many goals. It's too soon and I think they will be back on a goal productive track.

is valid for all players, not only Messi

so i totally agree with you
football is a team game and therefore the team must work well

remember a few years ago? greece with a poor team won the european, because they played compactly

If Joe Root was there, then there was a chance. But he is also gone. The England lower and middle order is not in good form right now. Dawid Malan looks good, but Ollie Pope is having a highest score of 34 in 12 innings he played so far this year. And apart from one half century at Lord's, Jonny Bairstow hasn't been troubling the scorers. Moeen Ali picked up some crucial wickets, but the less talked about his batting that better. Now coming to the lower order and tail, they haven't contributed anything significant so far.

The idea of all this is that Messi can adapt quickly to his team, also the French football style and the strategy is much more different from that of Barcelona, Messi can actually learn the system and start to shine.

It should be noted that the only systems that Messi knows is that of Barcelona and his Argentine national team, since his childhood they are the only systems he knows, at this point the genius of Messi if he cannot adapt does not matter, he just does what Whatever he wants on the soccer field, it turns out well, he knows in which position to play, he doesn't need to adapt much, even if he has to meet those standards.
