Mbabbe was injured denmark started the 2nd half with the same squad, cornelius scored 2 goals and backed the team. In the last part of the game, he dropped himself to the ground, the referee called the medical team and stopped the time. After 4 minutes, the match continued and Denmark won this important match. Benza scored the first goal, Cornelius closed with two goals. What a match it was, but the result was unexpected.
Yes, the result was honestly unexpected. But to be honest I don't think anyone cares about this match because it is basically a friendly match. Denmark actually tried their best to win this match and hats off to them. They actually played really well and also to my surprise defended very well. I really think France actually took the match very likely and it is very evident when we look at how they have played in that match. I see confusion here with posts talking about UEFA Nations League in the UEFA qualifiers for World Cup topic. Nations League is something else so better to talk about it somewhere else or create a dedicated topic for it. I find only the old topic of the last version in the gambling discussion section. |

I don't see a new topic about Nations League 2021/2022 in this section apart from Sportsbet prediction pool discussion thread. Should we continue here after updating the OP or create a new one? Games already started since June 1st and there is some interesting results there

This weekend, Sunday, Wales will face Ukraine for a World Cup spot. Ukraine won vs Scotland previously but Wales is better so I guess the game will be harder.
Bookies are showing almost similar odds, 2.7 Wales / 2.8 Ukraine with BTTS lower than not.. It seems to be very unpredictable and either team could win.

Is looking like a good summer business for juventus for getting angel Dimaria and almost getting Paul pogba right now for free with such good and experience players I think they can challenge inter Milan and AC Milan next season but I would have hoped that Paul pogba goes to real Madrid or Paris Saint Germain, in real Madrid I think he will see more game time and will really improved the midfield more playing with world class stars like Luca modric and Kross while in Paris Saint Germain he will be instant first team player and he will be in his hometown.
Pogba played in Juve before and knew the club and Serie A very well. With PSG he will get the money and the opportunity to fight for CL title but will play in a non competitive league. In Real Madrid, he might risk to vanish if he fails to find success and be tagged like Bale, Hazard...as the worst transfers. I find him joining Juve as a wise move actually for someone who wants a challenging league and to play with a team that will try to grab the scudetto after few seasons of failure. |

Lalliga is going to more competitive next season than this season because most of the teams will be out to compete for that tittle,a team like Barcelona who is aiming to win the Lalliga tittle next season.Real Madrid was able to win the tittle this season because they started on a very high winning frequency which pushed them very far before any other team will meet them up.The second half of the season when Barcelona started playing very well and started wining games back to back,Real Madrid were no where to catch up with,they were already ontop.Therefore,next season will be more tough because after the transfer window, most players will be at different clubs,and that is going to boost their teams spirit,making the season more interesting.
Barcelona rebuilt the team well but still need to consolidate it to improve further their record. Real Madrid is in a good shape and with the planned signing they will be better especially in their defence and midfield lines. Until now I don't see anything interesting about ATM and Sevilla planned transfers so I assume the competition for the next season will be intense between Real Madrid and Barcelona. |

United new boss, Erik Ten Hag will really improve the team perfectly only if the board allow him to sign players of his choice and to use his pattern of game plan. United are in a very critical condition but they might improve next season only if they stadn their ground to win games. The coach will select the players he would use for his game while the ones that fall out of favour will be dump at the bench and won't be given regular playtime.
Honestly I wouldn't be amazed by a coach like this when the coach gets all the players of his dreams then he can be great but this is normal Unless he gets an unknown young player and makes him a star, that's a different case, but when the coach can use the existing players to be better then it's great an example of a coach like this is Sir Alex Ferguson. Good old days won't come back. Fans and directors are very strict nowadays wanting to see good results or else they will kick coach in less than a year. I wonder know how many coaches were sacked because they failed to make the team progress in less than a season. How is someone supposed to make stars from a fresh player if he wasn't able to stay with a team for a couple of years. Now even if the coach stayed for a couple of years, he has to have some top players in order to stay in top, otherwise creating stars will take a while if we consider that the team will keep them and not sell them quickly. I am not talking about ManU in particular but about most clubs in top leagues in particular. |

real madrid have confirmed that fc chelsea defender and german national player Antonio Rüdiger will join this year champions league winners on a four-years contract this month
Real Madrid did an excellent transfer by signing Rüdiger, now they have two strong Central Backs (Alaba-Rüdiger). Both of them have the same age (29 years old), so theoretically they can play with their best performance for more than 4-5 years in Real Madrid (till age 35). I am so sure that Real Madrid defense will be strong enough with Alaba-Rüdiger as center-backs. Now, Real Madrid only needs to focus on targetting top strikers to improve the power to their attacking line. If they can get a striker like Lewandowski, Salah, Mane, or Dybala, then Real Madrid squad will be in perfect shape. Congratulations to Real Madrid to have a new strong CB.  I like the way Real Madrid is doing. Imagine one of the best clubs in the world, fixing its team, not only in the attack line but also in defence with Rudiger and in the midfield with Tchouameni from Monaco, not yet confirmed since PSG is involved too. I don't know how things will work for Chelsea but they are losing many players in this transition period.. |

Vinicius - Benzema - Mbappe look perfect but Lewandowski instead of Mbappe hmm not sure if that will be good for Benzema since his role will be to assist him like what he used to do with CR7.. After this excellent season for him, everyone will think that he dropped in performance.
We don't compare it to Mbappe since Mbappe won't come to Real Madrid. Benzema can be a good partner with Lewandowski, why not, dude? He can play as a winger or second striker, he can be placed in some positions. He ever becomes a good winger when he played with CR7, so he must be successful as well to be paired with Lewandowski. Imagine Benzema getting angry from Mbappe when he didn't sign with Real Madrid, this means simply that he ruined what could be one of the perfect trio in history maybe! Back to Lewandowski, as you see there is split point of view between the replies. Personally I don't think that this trio will work perfectly. It is like one of Lewandowski or Benzema will affect negatively the other. Of course the opposite could happen, no one knows but we have the right to feel that this won't work as it should be. How much believed Messi and CR7 will continue shining in other clubs? They literally crashed their carrier there (exaggerated). |

Ten Hag doesn't seem to count on CR7? I found that his agent is on discussion with Bayern but they will not consider it due to his age.
In Liverpool, I found also that there is no discussion with Salah for contract extension, well they still have 1 more season to play there..

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/31/inter-to-hold-talks-romelu-lukaku-chelsea-returnInter look like they are preparing an offer to Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. His performance went down too much after joining the English team. He even stated that he was much happier than this while he was playing for Inter. Therefore I don't have any doubt that he would like to return there. He might even be more uncomfortable if Chelsea tries to block his way to go back to Inter. Chelsea wouldn't like to sell him for a very small price for certain but I think there is no way they are able to sell him for a close amount to the one they paid to sign him. Can anyone imagine that this would happen in one year? Selling Lukaku for a high price then taking it back in a reduced rate, it seems like Inter milking Chelsea and Abramovich  That Lukaku can almost dream the trips to Italy and England. How many times has he changed teams there and gone to the other country? Of course he turned out to be a very good striker. He is lightning fast and very effective. It would actually make more sense if Manchester City wanted to buy him one day. They could use a striker in the vanguard. If City wants to win the CL, you need a goal getter, and Lukaku is absolutely that.
As said in a reply, with Haaland in City, I doubt they will take another forwarder unless they will let Sterling or GJ leave the team or get ride of the salary of Grealish. |

Mbappe said that playing at Real Madrid was a childhood dream for him and we all know where he is now (and how much money he could get in order to be "persuaded" to stay at PSG  ), so I would not pay special attention to the words - it's all part of the bargaining. And the money is the adulthood dream of everybody  I like how he said that money isn't everything and not the main reason to stay! At the moment, Lewandowski must either work for a year in Bavaria or pay a penalty for breaking the contract, the rest does not matter. By the way, I like how Bayern are trying to get 40+ million for Lewandowski and buy Mane for 25 That would be a great deal and I am expecting it to happen from weeks. Lewandowski might keep his form for 2-3 years max but Mane is younger and he can keep good performance for years and that's what Bayern is looking for to guarantee its dominance in the league. |

They missed the Mbappe and Haaland trains already. PSG extended Mbappe's contract and Haaland has joined Manchester City. For now, I see Lewandowski as a very good option for them actually. He might be a little old like Benzema but we saw what Benzema did this season. Lewandowski might even do much better and I don't think that he would have serious adaptation problems here too.
I agree with you. Lewandowski is a potential target to sign by Real Madrid right now. He already said to leave Bayern, so there is a big chance to have an agreement with him and Bayern management. I don't think Lewandowski is too old to sign and he is still in a good performance. It should be a good idea to bring him to Bernabeu as Benzema's partner in the attacking line. Ancelotti can use the formation Vinicius-Lewandowski-Benzema for Real Madrid attackers in the next season. Vinicius - Benzema - Mbappe look perfect but Lewandowski instead of Mbappe hmm not sure if that will be good for Benzema since his role will be to assist him like what he used to do with CR7.. After this excellent season for him, everyone will think that he dropped in performance. Back to what I am aware of so far, Lewandowski is linked more to Barcelona rather than any other club, obviously if Bayern let him leave this summer |

It was a really dramatic end for Auxerre by the way. After a very tough rematch, they made it to the Ligue 1 by penalty shoot-outs. St Etienne had a better performance until penalties but they didn't have anything to do against this. St Etienne didn't have a decent season in the Ligue 1 maybe but they still deserved more to stay in the league I think. Anyway, we will see what Auxerre will do in next season. Maybe they will be more successful than St Etienne and surprise me as a result.
Auxerre used to be good in the past, picking first places until they failed last time, 10 years ago, and failed to return until this season. They have relatively young players so I assume they will try to add few other players to make the team more competitive. It is hard to compare a team in Ligue 2 with another in Ligue 1 but assuming that they are close to St-Etienne then things don't look promising without some changes. |

Salah and Mane have one more season on contract until June 2023, especially Mane who is rumored to be leaving and Bayern as his best port, if Salah follows him to leave can Liverpool replace the duo with other players? I think it's really difficult to do as much as Liverpool can keep one of them, because Liverpool really rose because of the cohesiveness of their striker to become the best in the EPL.
It's hard to imagine if Salah and Mane left.
The good thing for both Salah and Mane is the fact that their contracts will end at the same time hence they can leverage their contracts that way. They will be able to say "pay us more or we both leave" and ask for a lot more. If it was just one of them, you would just keep one and send the other, but in this situation you can't lose both at the same time. So if two of them get together, they could really milk LFC a lot and get a ton of money. Not saying that they will do that, all I am saying is that there is a chance they could do something like that if they wanted to. And that is something that LFC should fear, wouldn't wanna be like PSG and end up paying too much. AFAIK, the salary of Mane is ridiculously low comparing to Salah and many others. He is a key player of the team and should be treated accordingly so that's why I assume he is trying to find a better deal elsewhere. I read that he asked to x4 his wage and become the highest paid player, dunno how accurate this news. For Salah, I think the situation is better so renewing the contract should be easier than Mane. |

Atletico Madrid will always be in the shadow of Barcelona and Real Madrid. All the more clever was that they became champions 2 seasons ago, which no one had thought. If Atletico have a good year, they can compete for the championship. They basically have a better team now than in the year they won the championship. But Real Madrid is much more consistent and has fewer problems with the lesser teams. Last season was a bad season for Atletico. Sevilla had also fallen far back after a long 2nd place finish.
Real Madrid is way better this season than all the others clubs, thanks to the performance of its main players especially Benzema and Vinicius Junior. ATM used to be a quite solid club thanks to Simeone annoying tactics that let the club receive fewer goals, this didn't work perfectly this year. Sevilla in the other hand fluctuated a lot and they need to consolidate their attack line in order to be more competitive. |

The meeting for Di Maria - Juventus will be tomorrow.
So in 24 hours we probably know if he is coming to Italy.
Di Maria joining Juve is almost sure tho, it will be a surprise if something happens so early without hearing any rumour about it. The other deal to be clarified later is Pogba one but I am quite perplexed from Allegri "joke" as media mentioned it, is he trying to challenge Pogba by saying that he is afraid from him? I didn't understand exactly what he meant. |

Ivan Perisic is one of the trending news presently in Tottenham hotspur. The Croatian leaves inter Milan as a free transfer to Spurs because Anthonio Conte have included him in his game plan for next season. So many actions are going to take place this summer. The arrival of Perisic will definitely boost the confidence of Son and Harry Kane in the team and other key players. Ivan Perisic is good with the ball and a skillfull and tight player at that, he will work hand in hand with the Frontlines attackers. Hopes he get enough playtime at the team and he will definitely suits in the Tottenham pattern of game.
Perisic followed his previous coach who trust him, it is unfortunate for Inter and a good news for Spurs. A 2 years deal. Although Spurs are trying to sign players early, they still have to get others since they have some positions that need to be picked or doubled in case of injury like Kane... |

This is the best time for Manchester United to make some amends that will help them perform better in the next season, the club need new player signings and transfers that will restructure the club for better position in the next season.
With the right management structure Manchester United will revive again since their under performed this season.
According to recent news, they are working on that with their new deputy director. I see ManU interested in Nunez from Benfica and Raphinha from Leeds. There is interest also in Mason Mounts. The important part is to fix the club in all lines, not only the attack one. The defence line of ManU was a joke this season.. |

It seems Isco will be leaving Real Madrid this summer, after lifting the UEFEA trophy and Laliga title this season. Perhaps his contract is ending June and the Spanish man is no longer interested in the team. Due to lack of game time and injury, he fall out favor for Carlo Ancelloti squad and Isco hopes to plays elsewhere next season. So many shocking news will trigger this summer, let's hope for the best for the Spanish man. However, teams such as Chelsea and Arsenal previously had interest in him.
I won't call it shocking but a normal move. Once you fail or perform less than expected, you will find yourself not fitting with the club anymore and better to restart somewhere else, it can works better. For example, Aubemayang has a similar situation with Arsenal but once he moved to Barcelona, he played way better. BTW Real Madrid will be pleased having less salaries, especially Bale one. |
