Money is important for players because their career does not last long and they can play like 15 or 20 seasons at maximum or if longer, just a bit several more seasons. If they can maximize money they earn from their career, it is nothing wrong. They have due diligent reasons to maximize their income and if they can combine both salary, income and chance to win titles, it's the best for their career.
The first or second priority, it is both fine for those players because they work to earn money so they can do whatever they want with their work. We should not criticize them if they prioritize salary rather chance to play at biggest leagues, tournaments and opportunities to win trophies with their clubs or personal awards.
The move made by the saudi arabia league big team in convincing players in the transfer window is the extraordinarily high salary offer to be able to convince players to accept their offer. Some of the players are indeed more interested in choosing a bigger salary in the sense that that is what they are after while they are still strong enough to play and this will provide a lot of money for their lives after retirement. But some players like Lukaku and Mbappe have refused to join the Saudi Arabian league team because they are still prioritizing their future in the European league and maybe they still have dreams of winning the UCL trophy in their careers. So that big salaries are not able to tempt them to join team saudi arabia league. To some players, their future in football is mostly determined by the kind of financial package that comes with transfer deals from clubs who wants their services while to others, playing football in the most competitive and contested leagues in the world is their priority and that also plays a huge role when making decisions that has to do with their future in football. Saudi Arabian League organizers knew that the only thing that can help them attract European based players who are already playing in better leagues and competitions than what can be found in the Middle East is to offer them very lucrative deals which will influence the decision of these players to join their clubs. Even with their very lucrative deals, it's not all European based footballers that'll leave Europe to play in the Saudi League. |

I have said several times that this time won't be easy for Napoli despite they starting with the right foot as most other teams will most probably win their games beside Inter who made a great game yesterday night.I think these other strong teams have improved a lot compared to the last season where Napoli got away and won the Serie A several weeks before the end of the tournament,I know for sure this won't happen this time as rarely I have seen Serie A being dominated by a single team in such distance,I know it won't be boring this time.
When it comes to defending the league title, it's always more difficult than winning the league because a lot of teams will go back to the drawing board and to learn new methods that can be used to stop the team from beating them like they did in the previous season. That been said, I think Napoli having been able to keep most of the squad members that helped them lift the Italian Serie A title last season still has all it takes to retain the title. Yeah, it might be difficult to achieve but with hard work and determination from the players and staff of the club, it is very achievable |

It's no wonder that Leipzig lost against host Leverkusen in last night's game because after all Leverkusen has been much better since last season. The win at home made Xabi Alonso and his players very satisfied to be able to give an additional 3 points in front of their arriving fans. On the other hand, is it possible that since leaving Gvardiol who joined Manchester City, Leipzig's defense has become fragile from enemy attacks? Because after all, Leipzig has not yet found a suitable replacement. I hope coach Marco Rose can find an alternative to fill the void left by Gvardiol.
With the initial capital of victory against Bayern Munich in the Super Cup, I think Leipzig will be the favorite team to win against Leverkusen. Although I think the score of 3-2 is not bad even if they don't get 3 points. It seems that Leipzig thinks Leverkusen is too easy to beat. But Xabi Alonso managed to make Leipzig difficult to make goals. Xabi also successfully provided team updates, by making some transfers not too expensive. The fact that Leipzig defeated Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup shouldn't be a reason to think that beating Bayer Leverkusen would be an easy task for them. Since Xabi Alonso became the manager of the Bayer Leverkusen team, he's significantly improved the team's performance and would definitely want to better their last season results and performance in the season's league campaign. So I know that it wasn't gonna be an easy game for both teams who has the needed quality players to win the league. Leverkusen won the game by 3 goals to 2. |

Aston Villa vs Everton ,Aston Villa lead by 2 goals before the end of the first half. Everton may not win today's match as they still need to attack a lot to equalize the game which is not possible. Aston Villa attacked enough today that they are still in contention for victory. In today's match, if Everton can improve their game in the second half, they can definitely bring the match time and if they can perform well, they can draw the match. If Everton can't attack well in the second half, there is certainly the possibility of conceding more goals, and Aston Villa have the best chance of winning.
Aston Villa has extended the lead to 4 goals against the visiting Everton. McGinn scored the first goal before Douglas Luiz doubled the lead by scoring from the spot followed by Bailey and Duran's goal to make it 4 goals to nil. Everton has been the second best team in the second best team in the match and deserves nothing but what they're currently getting. |

Whenever gambling companies are are advertising their companies to the general public, there's always a message that comes after the advertisement and that is "bet responsibly". The reason behind that message is to remind anyone who intends to use their platform of the need to gamble with care.
So many young people has ruined their life and future because they fail to heed to the message of gambling responsibly which wasn't the purpose of betting.

Spain winning the FIFA Women World Cup today is the highlight of my day. Aside from being one of the best teams in the competition and having had a good run. I wanted them to win as a revenge against England for knocking out my country, Nigeria. And right now I am already over the moon because they have already won. They were able to maintain their momentum from the first half until the last whistle. A win for them is a win for Europe and for Africa. They have made history. Congratulations to them and congratulations also to Oceania for the success of the competition.
Congratulations to the Spanish national women's team for winning the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time in history. Spain has been the best team in this year's edition of the FIFA World Cup and deserves to be the champions of the competition. The lionesses of England who were defeated in the final game today will have to wait till next time the tournament will be played again to challenge for the title that they've never won. |

How a big European giant like Real Madrid who possess all it takes to attract the best strikers in the world to the club has sticked to just one man since the former big striker Karim Benzema left the club has indeed been a surprise to many football faithfuls.
There's no doubt that Kylian Mbappe is a great forward player who posseses all the good qualities needed in an attacker but the fact that he's not strick with his personal decision about his future coupled with the fact that he can be easily influenced with money should've made Madrid go all out and spend the money on him or go for another striker. The summer transfer window is nearing it's end and we're yet to know if the player is gonna go to Madrid or not.
I would guess that because it is a bit of a fan related sport. If you see that Mbappe may not join your team, or maybe he would but there is no guarantee and you go ahead and spend your money on some other striker and suddenly Mbappe decides not to come to Real Madrid anyway, then it is going to be a tough one without a doubt. I think it would be smarter to actually wait for the summer, try to get Mbappe and if he doesn't come then you can tell the fans that you tried and he just didn't come and put the blame on Mbappe instead of the team management. This is why they are going to play a season without a striker, Joselu is there to be fair but I doubt he would be used all that much, and they will wait until summer to not make the fans angry. In my own opinion, I think Real Madrid has really tried in their pursuit to sight Kylian Mbappe this summer and should've gone for another big striker since the Frenchman doesn't look like someone who's gonna join them this summer. There's been numerous reports in France that Mbappe is currently in advanced talk with the management of PSG to extend his contract with the club. Real Madrid has all it takes to attract the biggest players in the world and in other to have a successful season, they must get another world class striker that'll fill in the boots of their former striker Karim Benzema at the club. |

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.
Despite being the target of many European big clubs, Victor Osimhen didn't let the speculations about his future stop him from delivering a great performance for Napoli in their game today. He simply started from where he stopped with his goalscoring prowess last season with a brace on their game today. Many fans of the Italian club were dissatisfied with the club's decision to allow their former manager leave but with today's result, their new manager Rudi Garcia has somehow demonstrated why they should trust and support him as the manager of the Napoli |

PSG's victory in sight had to be broken up after Toulouse equalized in the final minutes of the game. As we can see, PSG has quite a hard time playing with their new squad and they seem to have lost concentration. Kylian Mbappe entered in the second half after replacing Lee Kang-In and also scored a goal for PSG's advantage via a penalty. But after that PSG was dull again and confused enough to widen the gap. Toulouse finally did the same for PSG by scoring a penalty kick. Not a good result for PSG, they got a draw again.
The return of Kylian Mbappe to the Paris Saint Germaine side I thought would help the club to comfortably beat Toulouse but little did I know that the home team were very prepared for the game against the French champions. Luis Enrique hasn't convinced anyone at the club in his first two games that he has all it takes to the club to another level they've never reached before. PSG's only goal in the game was scored after they were awarded a penalty which Kylian Mbappe converted. Enrique with all the quality players in the PSG set-up must begin to get better results if he really want to remain as the manager of the club till the end of the season. |

It took Kosovare Asllani's stunning second half strike to seal Sweden's victory over co-hosts Australia as the swedish team finished their 2023 Women's World Cup campaign as their their best team of the tournament.
Following Australia's scintillating performance in the tournament, I had tipped them to win the third-place play-off against Sweden because of the support of the home fans but unfortunately for them they were comfortably beaten by Sweden. The defeat ended Australia's heroic performance in this edition of the World Cup as it was their best performance in the history of the competition

Jude Bellingham is really smoking hot right now in Madrid colours he is proving every match why he is worth the money they spent on him, he is scoring in the second match he is playing for real Madrid this season and it's amazing, I think he is a better midfielder than what real Madrid are used to because be is workerholic and a great midfielder and can still score goals. This would be what wins the hard and difficult games for real Madrid, having a player like Jude Bellingham is a cheat code
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. |

It's absolutely unwise for a financial dependent to gamble and should be condemned by anyoone who's around such person. Over the years, I've seen very young people who are still surviving with the financial assistance of their parents or guardians use money that was meant for something very serious like school fees, money meant hospital bills and sometimes money that was given to them to go and buy food items using such money to gamble.
They end up losing the financial trust of their parents and guardians because of their very silly decisions to gamble with those money.

Different countries has their different minimum age anyone can get past before they can be legally allowed to gamble. In my country, immediately a child hits adulthood which at the age of 18, he/she is legally free to gamble.
That being said, I'm of the opinion that the minimum age for anyone to gamble should be 21 and that's because most 18 years old teenagers do not know the future implications of some decisions they take and becoming a gambling addict isn't something that should be joked with. So I think at 21 they've grown so well in mind to make decisions for themselves

Manchester City will get better as the season progresses. They are struggling with injuries and they're still managing to win. A lot of people feel Manchester United won't do well this season but I still believe they will win the league.
When Bernardo Silva comes back he will take over the right wing and that will bring a lot of creativity to the team.
Halland is another player people feel won't do much this season. That's not true. Halland might not score like he scored last season but he would score a lot of goals.
My money is in Man City to retain the league.
Liverpool will give them a good run too.
Manchester City's slim win tonight against Newcastle is a another point to prove that they've greatly missed the presence of Kelvin De Bruyne as they've struggled to win their last two matches since the Belgian picked up injury. Newcastle might have lost all three points tonight but I think they had a not-so-bad performance tonight. Very few teams comes to the Etihad and concede just one goal and that's why I think they deserve some praises for their performance tonight |

I expected with Jude Bellingham will continues impressive performance after success scoring one goal in his debut against Athletic Bilbao last match, seems Real Madrid is favorable against Almeria on second match in La Liga. Based on line up confirmation, Real Madrid loss with their defender Éder Militão after getting injury in first match but his position will replace by Rudiger. Both them not difference level and believe with Madrid defensive not get trouble yet. Another change with Camavinga position will fill by Toni Kroos and new goal keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga not make debut in this match because Carlo Ancelotti still use Andriy Lunin. Left thirty minutes later kick of Almeria vs Real Madrid will start, prepare all for watching the excited match in La Liga  . Yes Bellingham plays once again the trailing center forward. I have usually thought that he has strong qualities in the backwards movement as well and he would play a bit more defensively, but this is a typical Neymar position that Bellingham is now playing and I didn't expect that. But Ancelotti obviously sees him exactly in that position to play to the best of his abilities so why not. I don't know if Modric started the last game? But for now he is sitting on the bench, but still being able to bring him on for a half-time or so is amazing and especially when you want to get a result under control with his experience. I never doubted the ability of Jude Bellingham but I also did not expect him to adapt so fast in the Real Madrid squad. Even if I expected him to adapt it is somewhere middle of the field and not upfront scoring goals. Who knows if Ancelotti has discovered a new Jude Bellingham. Has he seen a striker in him? If Jude continue this way, Mbappe deal next season might be forgotten. I believe that since Jude is in the Madrid team he doesn't have much time to lose form and become like one of his brothers Dele Ali who was doing as great as Jude until a certain time
I do not think that Almeria will be as lucky as they were on the first half. Is it possible for Almeria to go home with 1 point at the end of the match? |

The game between Manchester United and Totthenham is actually heating up as they are in the second half of the game,as Totthenham leads by a goal to nothing.It is increasingly becoming likely that Manchester United might loose that game with the way Totthenham are pressuring them.I don't really know the formation that Harry Ten Hag used that is making his boys feel so scared to play Spurs.The game is live as Man u continue to suffer in the hands of Spurs through possession and and goal threat.The best thing I see Hen Tag does in this game is to make some possible changes that will make them score,and try to defend it so the game will end draw,because if time is not taken, Totthenham will score another goal,and that will be the end for Man u.
This match is not easy Manchester United and this is just a clean signal to Manchester United that they are in no way title contenders in this season. There are many good teams and few better teams than Manchester United. If Manchester United wants to contest for the league they will need another midfielder as I do no have much confidence in Mount. Meanwhile it is 80th minutes, instead Manchester United to be pressuring Totthenham, the reverse is the case. It seems Manchester United is going home without a point. |

Liverpool Vs Bournemouth
The first 45 minutes have seen Liverpool dominate in everything in this game and the scoreline ended in their favour 2:1. Despite the quick goal that was scored by Antoine Semenyo in the 3rd minute of the game Liverpool was able to get a reply and managed to get the second goal that was score my Mohamed Salah to give them an edge over the visitors. It's going to be all three points for the home team I think because they have been the better team so far this first 45 minute.
Not only that I expected Liverpool to win, I also knew they will be I began to be doubtful immediately Liverpool men were dropped by one. I honestly protester and even till now I believe that that Mac Allister red card was an error. But I am doubtful because VAR reviewed it and upheld the red card. I mean are there new rules that approved that as red card? As long as I know, the intention of the tackler was not to brutalise and also the contacts was looking more like a 50:50 thing rather than a straight red card. I am swnsing some inconsistencies. |

It is true that in important matches such as the semifinals or the Champions League final last season, Erling Haaland seemed to disappear on the field and his role as the pillar of the team at that time was immediately replaced by other Manchester City players who had freer opportunities to score goals. I don't think it's a problem as long as the team can use every player available and actually I'm quite annoyed because Pep Guardiola very rarely changes his players in the second half. So when they should have had the opportunity to score goals through supersub players, they still relied on the players who were there from the early minutes.
It's not a problem at all because before Haaland came to City they had won the Premier League by more points than last season and despite Liverpool being only one point behind, their title looked undeniable. Haaland is an option (very cool option) but I think he is much less important than the KDB, so I'm looking forward to a more competitive season this time around. Kelvin is more important in the Manchester City squad than Haaland. Manchester City is used to build the strength of their squad around a midfielder rather a striker. If you check some seasons ago it was Yaya Toure who was the strength of the team and presently it is KDB who is the strength of the team. Manchester City has been scoring high amount of goals without Haaland. Haaland is just an additional striking strength. |

Few minutes into the match between Totenham and Manchester United, I can say that Manchester United has really improved compared to what they played last week. Mount is gradually adapting to the team as he can hold ball and make forward movements. Manchester United has dominated the midfield in the first 15mins of the first half and they are showing high inclination to win today's fixture. But Totenham who drew last week may not agree to that.

Newcastle is indeed on fire, Tonali beat Aston Villa with a promising score. But I think this game will end in a draw, 1-1 could be possible.
Yes, but he will face a club that won the treble winner last season, at least it will be difficult for Newcastle or Manchester City to steal points and get victory from this meeting, because both of them are equally strong considering that several key players in Manchester City also seem to be injured so it is necessary to reduce other players to close on multiple lines. I know that maybe both of them are fighting for a position at the top of the standings so this will be an exciting match to watch as a Manchester City supporter. I will still support this club to win against Newcastle because I believe Guardiola always has ways and tactics to be able to win in every game. at least 2 -1 to win manchester city. Despite the quality of players in the Manchester City side, I think their match against Newcastle isn't gonna be easily predicted. Newcastle on their own has really improved and are capable of beating any club in the English Premier League. City will be playing the game at home which I think will be an added advantage to them but that doesn't stop Newcastle from pulling a surprise in the game. Like I said earlier, I think it'll be a win for the citizens. |
