I understand why Maresca is keen to get players he knows well into the team, but it seems to me that first he should make good use of those that Chelsea already have. Chelsea had a good end of the season and Pochettino built a good base from which it would be worth starting to work, rather than trying to change everything again and attract new and especially young players, which means building the team in a new way.
Maresca has different tactics so it's natural that he wants players who he thinks can carry out his tactics, and this is a common thing that happens to all coaches. I agree with Maresca, and I hope that Chelsea management fully supports all of Maresca's wishes to be able to build Chelsea the way he wants. In as much as the problems most of the clubs normally have is mostly as a result of inexperienced coaching but in the case of Chelsea i wouldn't put all the blame on there coach, though before I use to think that there coach is actually the reason why they have not been going far on the premier League but I have come to realize that the coach and the players needs to come together with one mind and understanding before they could possibly go far on every season, however the reason why I will no longer blame the coach is that even the other coach before him could not improve the club and there performance was still almost like this.
Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca is a coach who is quite popular now after he succeeded in bringing Leicester promotion to the Premier League, which proves that Enzo Maresca has good qualities. I think there's no need to doubt it. |

I wonder if Spalletti will be fired? Under him, the Italian team began to play worse.
I wouldn't be surprised as teams are really unpredictable about when to sack a coach. For example, England is still keeping Southgate despite the horrible performance.  I don't understand Spalletti as well. He said that he didn't have the energy anymore to move on with Napoli. But a short time later we saw him accepting a national job offer. I mean of course national teams are less busy than a club. But still it doesn't make sense to me. I think the best thing for him would be to stay there instead of managing Italy.  From the start, there were many people who doubted Spalletti because he mostly chose young players who were brought to the Euros and even many of the players in the Italian squad did not have experience. I was not surprised by their failure and even since the group stage I have seen that. Spalletti has not succeeded in building this team perfectly, the team's performance is still inconsistent and their performance is also not that impressive. I think that for the future development of Italian football, Spalletti must be fired, he has shown that he has failed.  England vs SlovakiaBroadly speaking, of course on paper England has a greater chance of winning, but on the field Slovakia looks optimistic by taking advantage of the imbalance in England game, which always struggles to create more opportunities. So even though England are the favorites, there is still a percentage that gives Slovakia a breath of fresh air if the English players have difficulty implementing Southgate's strategy again. In the group phase, it can be seen that England's performance is not that impressive even though they have a lot of quality players, but there have been many criticisms of the England team's performance so far, as have I, so I think even though England are very favorites, Slovakia still has the opportunity to put up a fierce resistance and make a surprise. I bet on +1.5 Slovakia in this match.  Spain vs GeorgiaIt's also not an easy match for Sylvinho troops because in terms of defense Georgia has solid strength. Spain could indeed come out as winners but the score may be close, depending on how far the Georgia players show their best performance on the field. Finally, in the group stage, Portugal was able to give big difficulties and was unable to break into Georgia's goal. For this reason, I hope Georgia will do the same thing again in the match against Spain. In what direction do you prediction? Georgia's last victory over Portugal may not be completely used as a reference because in that match Portugal didn't play hard anymore. However, Georgia has a lot of positive energy from this victory, the team's confidence and mentality will increase drastically, but this is a sacred match against Spain, the Spanish team will play hard of course and if you look at Spain's performance since the group phase, I think they have a consistent performance. and impressive so that I quite favor Spain to win and I even predict this will be an easy match for Spain. |

Another player I would like Dortmund to sign is Sancho,
I support this idea. I also want to see Sancho being a permanent member of Dortmund again. He has no future left at Manchester United. It is because of the tension between ten Hag and him you know. He refused to apologize to his manager and he got removed from the squad with immediate effect.  Dortmund would also love the idea of signing Sancho back. You know how beneficial he was in the past. He belongs here obviously. The new manager Nuri Şahin would like to work with him for sure I assume. Sancho has shown good performance since he returned to Dortmund in the middle of last season. Manchester United no longer wants Sancho because of the dispute with Ten Hag, but now Dortmund's steps to bring Sancho back are not easy, there are several other teams who are also interested in Sancho and the one most serious about bringing in Sancho at the moment is Juventus. I think regardless of where Sancho goes next season, I'm sure he will continue to develop, unless he stays at Manchester United and never gets any game time. Sancho is a young player who has very good quality, he is still 24 years old, and he still has a quite brilliant career in the future so it is natural that he is the target of many teams. |

I saw the performance of Switzerland and Italy in the group phase, these two teams have almost equal strength so it is quite possible that this match will be fierce and difficult for both teams, regarding the percentage to qualify for the last 8 I think Switzerland and Italy have the percentage the same one.
For betting, I plan to bet on Switzerland in this match, because with the squad that Italy has at this Euro I still doubt them.
And for Germany, which performed quite well during the group phase matches, it will be quite the favorite to beat Denmark, I think that's natural because Germany is superior in everything compared to Denmark.
All the matches in the round of 16 will of course be fierce but there are also several teams that are favorites, I don't think that Switzerland has the same percentage as Italy to advance to the next round. The betting exchange favors Italy, the odds for Italy are smaller so Italy has a slightly larger percentage of wins compared to Switzerland. You have to learn about this, we can't just look at it from one side, but in football there is quite a lot to pay attention to for speculation to be born. If your plan to bet on Switzerland is quite risky but you will get bigger profits, it might be worth it but I don't recommend it. I think it's more appropriate to bet on Italy or bet on over or under goals. Germany as the host will of course be quite the favourite, they have shown very good performance since the group phase but Denmark cannot be underestimated, this will not be an easy match for Germany. |

 Source: https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/Headline/Real-Madrid-confirm-sale-of-striker-to-Qatar/3416546Seems like a good and clever decision from the player, to be honest. Joselu understood that even though his performance was pretty good in the Champions League competition and even though Real Madrid trusted him as the main striker for quite sometimes, with the arrival of Mbappé, there is a possibility that he is going to get little to no playtime in the next season. So he took the best decision that he could at this stage of his career. Pretty sure he is going to get a good amount of money in his new team. This was the time for Joselu to go for the money, the correct time I mean. Joselu is 34 years old, he is aware that his career will not be long and in terms of quality he cannot compete with other young players and this decision so that he can earn more money before deciding to retire is not a bad decision. However I was a little surprised because Real Madrid had confirmed that they would still extend Joselu's contract and keep this player despite Mbappe's arrival, because to be Mbappe's replacement, I think Joselu is still quite good, especially with his big contribution last season, he deserves to be appreciated. stay on this team. |

Enzo Maresca definitely does have the potential to be a great coach. but he will need to be backed with a lot of money and support as well. Without these two things, hardly any coach will be able to survive, let alone show great performance in the English Premier League competition right now. We have even seen that the coaches who actually have good backings, not being able to bring in good performance.
I think it is a little too early to say that he is going to be the next Pep Guardiola. That is going to be putting an incredible amount of pressure on him. It is probably better to not get him under such pressure from this early. Let's just see how he starts with Chelsea.
It's too much to think of Enzo Maresca like that, in fact I think he will have the same fate as Mauricio Pochettino. To be able to revive a team that has fallen is not an easy thing even though they have strong finances, especially as Enzo Maresca is not a coach who has a lot of experience handling top teams, so I don't think we need to have high expectations for Enzo Maresca. Chelsea do have strong finances but look at their player purchases in the last few seasons, quite a lot of money has been spent on useless players so if they want to do the same to support Enzo Maresca then I think it would be a big gamble that would make it possible to suffered a much bigger loss to the team. The Chelsea team had to be built through a long process, they are now different from before, so Chelsea management must be aware of this and forget that they can quickly recover with the money they have. |

After winning title Napoli having the worst season and thing gone from bad to worse as they fail to bring anything positive now they are having Conte as new coach which is positive sign, but many players want to leave specially Victor Osimhen in rumors about having new club and now Khvicha Kvaratskhelia which is making things bad for the club and new coach as well even they are doing their job and trying to have all their required players to available before next season, but this is surely another bad period for this club.
Without any doubt we have two key players now in roomers to be left before start of the new season is no good deal but if they can bring suitable replacements which will give good support to Conte this is surely ideal thing with he needs time for having good results, and surely he can do things which are important for bringing positive results.
Conte will build Napoli with his wishes, the Napoli team is a team that is currently in decline and recruiting Antonio Conte is a good start for the team, but regarding their two strikers who are currently being rumored to be leaving Napoli, I don't think it will have any effect on Conte continuing to progress. In fact, when building this team, I think there will be benefits for Napoli if they sell Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, there will be enough fresh money for them to be able to recruit other players, so I don't think that the departure of these two players will be the end everything for Napoli, it could have been otherwise. |

 We all know Araujo is the best option that Barcelona has so far and honestly his role is very important for the defense. However, the mistakes he makes sometimes make his fans start to get fed up and maybe because of this pressure he starts to think about leaving Barcelona. I remember there was an interview directed at him during the Copa America and currently he is defending Uruguay and there the question came up "Are you staying at Barcelona?" and after that we can interpret for ourselves how Araujo answered to the media and if from my point of view it is likely that he will not stay at Barcelona even though he stated that he is currently only focused on the Copa America. The reason may be that his love for the club is not comparable to the hatred he receives from various parties. Career reasons might be the big reason why Ronald Araújo wants to move to another team, because as can be seen, Barcelona is in a downturn so it doesn't guarantee that Ronald Araújo's career will be better if he stays at Barcelona. And there are also rumors that Barcelona also wants to sell Ronald Araújo because of the financial problems they are currently experiencing, so the team has to take steps to sell several players in order to get fresh funds to bring in other players. From the reports about Ronald Araújo and Barcelona, I am quite sure that this player will not stay at Barcelona and now Manchester United is the team most interested in bringing in Ronald Araújo. |

While I don't really want to speak about the qualities of players Chelsea are currently going for from the fact that they have spent millions for under performing players based on the price they were bought and expectation from them, I will wait to see these players perform before criticism though it's Ironic as they are not going for experienced players which has been something lacking in team more especially from the fact that Silva is out now.
What worked for Maresca in the Championship may not work in the Premier League, and his decisions may not be the best either. And it’s not worth comparing the experiences of Maresca and Pochettino, I think they have very different levels, but Chelsea decided to take a risk. Perhaps the winning mentality is important for them, if Maresca knows how to win, even in a lower league, then he will strive for this in the Premier League. Everything will be different, what happened at Chelsea in the past might be able to be fixed by Maresca, so until he proves anything we won't know what will happen and it is true that taking this job is a big gamble for Maresca's coaching career. Maresca is a coach who is rising to fame after successfully bringing Leicester promotion to the Premier League. And the squad that Chelsea currently has is the fault of the Chelsea owners, they spent a lot of money on players who don't have good quality/worth the price so we don't need to talk about that anymore. We'll see later how Maresca builds this team and what the role of Chelsea management is to support it, whether it is the same as before or will be different, if it is still the same (lots of interference from management in recruiting players) then Maresca will be the next victim (the coach who was fired ). |

It is now impossible to predict with certainty which team will win the Round of 16 matches. In group stage matches we have seen renowned and big teams not able to play well. Big teams like England, Italy, France and Netherlands won only one match in the group stage. Among the renowned teams, apart from Spain and Germany, I don't think any other team has performed well.
Italy and Turkey are more likely to win against Switzerland and Austria. But we cannot say for sure that these two teams will win. Because in group stage I don't see very good performance from Turkiye and Italy players. So it wouldn't be surprising if Italy and Turkey lost against Switzerland and Austria.
This doesn't mean that the team isn't playing well, but it must be admitted that the competition is currently quite fierce, several teams have almost the same strength so it is quite difficult to predict, even though the team is the favorite, that doesn't happen. guaranteed they will win easily. In the round of 16, I think there will be some surprises, like what happened in the group phase. I will only favor Germany, Spain and France to win easily in the round of 16, the rest is nothing. |

An unbeaten record is something that cannot be easily reproduced just like that a d expecting such from Bayern Leverkusen almost just immediately doesn't look or feel realistic enough for me just immediately, they may be able to still reproduce a very good results again but I'm not sure about them getting to stay unbeaten successfully again in the next season because they have got more attention on them more than they did last season and they now even have more competitive league to play in this season.
I know that Xabi is still in his good for but I prefer to wait to see their performance in the new season than making projections that may end up not turning out in my expectations, somehow they may not start on a very perfect note in that they may need a little time to still know around how the new season is going to be like and the preparedness of other teams coming to the league together at once too, very importantly now will be their ability to maintain a good position both in the champions league and the bundesliga this season and not to keep an unbeaten record.
Maintaining and defending the title they one last season should also be of top priority for Bayern Leverkusen because I believe even Xabi knows by now that they have a very little and slim chance of replicating that which they were able to get last season in this season so the focus now should be redirected to getting results and not making record as that may not really get them enough as they would have been able to achieve this season.
Other Bundesliga teams will definitely improve so that it will create fiercer competition for Bayern Leverkusen, especially Bayern Muncih, of course to maintain that record is very difficult and I even say it will not be possible, not only for Bayern Leverkusen but for other teams too. It is quite difficult to get this unbeatable record. Xabi Alonso has proven that since the beginning of his arrival he has built Bayern Leverkusen, so I think there is nothing to doubt, Bayern Leverkusen's performance continues to move in a positive direction and this is also followed by progress so I am quite optimistic that it will continue. No team cares about the record, every team wants to win the title and the record is only what the fans want. Defending the Bundesliga title will of course be the team's priority and they also need to increase the strength of the team because Bayern Leverkusen will compete on the Champions League stage so they need much stronger strength to be able to compete with other top European teams in the Champion League. |

In soccer things take changes drastically as same happen in Victor Osimhen case in last season his price tag was over €150 million, but Napoli management insist on keeping him with things gone on wrong side, and now they are facing troubling to have amount like this with no big club is also interested which is another dilemma even now we have few updates about Conte wants to keep him but can he perform like he has done few seasons back it's big question because due to his confrontation with management he is already not at his best which is the problem.
About Chelsea this was also his own wish with Chelsea management never talk about him specially now after having new coach things are not favourable about him so now we have to wait for his future with most chances he will stay at Napoli for another season which could be good for him.
The big reason is the disharmonious relationship with Napoli management and this news circulated in the middle of last season, I think this impact also caused Victor Osimhen's performance to decline slightly. A decline in a player's performance in 1 season will of course have a big influence on his market price, that's what is happening to Victor Osimhen at the moment and I think that's a normal thing. Now the news about Napoli retaining Victor Osimhen is still confusing because there is other news that Napoli is aggressively trying to bring in Lukaku, so I think Napoli management will let Victor Osimhen go if they succeed in getting Lukaku. With Chelsea it is very likely that there will be an exchange of Victor Osimhen for Lukaku, if Chelsea is willing. And in my opinion, the right decision was to let Victor Osimhen go because it was clear that he was no longer playing wholeheartedly for Napoli anymore. It would be quite detrimental to the team and Victor Osimhen's career if he was forced to stay at Napoli. |

I agree with you. If you look at Barcelona's performance and the competition in La Liga, I think that even though Barcelona has financial problems and the club is in poor performance, they will still be able to finish in the top 4 of the standings. I think the competition in La Liga is between Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid and Barcelona. Girona are an anomaly and they have surprisingly managed to break into the top ranks of La Liga. Barcelona have to look for a new coach and build their squad and I don't think they can expect to win the title next season considering their current performance.
Even though some of the teams you mentioned often dominate the top four standings in La Liga, next season there will definitely be differences. Moreover, when it comes to surprises that could arise from one or two teams that are not often in the top four, it could also happen again in La Liga next season. Because Barcelona has to look at next season with more struggle in every match if they want to be in the top four of the standings with their current condition. I don't think so, Barcelona is indeed in a slump but that is if you compare it with Real Madrid, the rest of them are not able to get into the top 4. I think Barcelona will have no difficulty. We should not be too excessive in responding to Barcelona's current downturn and they also need to be taken into account because with their new coach anything is still possible to happen, the point is that no one knows what Barcelona will be like next season with their new coach. In the last few seasons there have been no big surprises in La Liga, only Girona last season made a surprise so as for the competition in the top 4 I think nothing has changed, there are still Barcelona and Atletico Madrid there. |

I am sure Conte will be able to give his best and make Napoli a champion contender again. Conte is one of the best Italian coaches I know and he really understands the character of football in Italy. I agree with what you say that Conte must adapt to the character of each Napoli player and the club management must also give Conte a sufficient budget to spend on players who suit the tactics he will use next season.
Antonio Conte is indeed a great coach and he has good experience in Serie, he really understands Serie A because he also comes from Italy, but to build a team that has fallen like Naoli is not easy, let alone being able to make Napoli compete fiercely for the Serie A title. I think that won't happen in Antonio Conte's first season as Napoli coach, everything needs a process and time. And Napoli is not a team that has strong finances to be able to bring in many talented players to boost the team's performance, so let's be realistic and I'm sure Napoli next season will only compete for the top 4 positions, not for the Scudetto. |

I am more interested in the three matches in the Round of 16. - Switzerland vs Italy
- France vs Belgium
- Austria vs Turkey
There is no doubt that these three matches will be very competitive. Besides, all the remaining matches are more likely to be one-sided. Unless the renowned teams make any major mistakes in the match. England, Germany, Spain and Portugal compete against Slovakia, Denmark, Georgia and Slovenia respectively. These teams are not that strong. So England, Germany, Spain and Portugal will not have a tough road to qualify for the quarter finals. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty which two of the four teams Switzerland, Italy, France and Belgium will qualify for the next round. For the Switzerland vs Italy match, I agree that this is a match that will be quite fierce and difficult to predict, we have seen the performance of the two teams in the group phase and indeed when compared, the two do not have a significant difference in quality so Switzerland and Italy still have the same percentage. the same to be able to qualify for the round of 8. However, for the France vs Belgium match, I think it is not that difficult for France, it is clear that the French team has much stronger strength than Belgium, in the group phase we can see that Belgium is not as strong as before, I think this will be an easy match for France. The Austria vs Turkey match is also fierce, but Austria is a surprise team that is able to perform very well at this Euro so I think they have a slightly greater percentage of winning the match than Turkey. And other teams are indeed favourites, but I'm sure there will be surprises, at this Euro the average team has even strength so it's hard to predict and lots of surprises will happen, like what happened in the group phase. |

Manchester City's dominance is very difficult for other clubs to break and in the previous two seasons Arsenal were the closest competitors, but they failed to break Manchester City's dominance. Manchester City prepares their team very well and they have a coach who is visionary and can always solve problems even though several of their important players are injured. If you look at the Manchester City squad, maybe there are several clubs that can dominate when key players are injured.
But this is difficult to do because Pep Guardiola always has the option to choose players every time they compete. Next season we hope that there will be several teams that can compete with Manchester City and hopefully they can break the dominance that Manchester City has held for so long.
Pep Guardiola has built a team that is quite balanced with a playing framework that does not depend on certain players so that when player rotation occurs, the team's performance will not be much different, which is what makes the Manchester City team very consistent in maintaining its performance. I think as long as Pep Guardiola is still coach of Manchester City it will be quite difficult for other Premier League teams to break their dominance in the Premier League unless they make mistakes (that's a very small percentage) or other Premier League teams improve very quickly. This is not to belittle other Premier League teams, but we can see that in the last few seasons many of the Premier League teams have had problems so there is not much pressure on Manchester City except from Arsenal. And I don't think Arsenal has enough mentality to compete and beat Manchester City for the title, maybe not in the near future. |

The Bundesliga next season is likely to be very fierce, because indeed last season we can see if many club clubs began to rise and give a lot of fierce resistance to big teams such as Munich and Dortmund, currently Leverkusen is certainly one of the surprise teams that are indeed very much awaited for their performance next season, will it be able to continue its positive trend or will it actually return to being a mediocre team?
So far we have known Bayern Munich as the ruling team in the Bundesliga and of course there has been no fierce competition in the league all this time before Leverkusen can surprise them this season, I personally hope that next season we will see a different Bundesliga from the previous season and I hope there are several teams that will compete in the championship.
Dortmund, so far we have known them as a club that is able to compete with Munich even though it is not able to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, Dortmund has been famous for the team that continues to sell its main players so it is not surprising that it is difficult for them to win the Bundesliga, but even so, their greatness in building a great squad and producing many star players in the squad is certainly worthy of appreciation.
It is very likely that Leverkusen will remain a contender to win the Bundesliga title next season, whether they are able to defend the title or not. I am sure they will remain in the top 4. This is all because Xabi Alonso is still the coach of the Leverkusen team, because so far Leverkusen's success cannot be separated from Xabi Alonso's contribution so why should there be any doubts for next season if he is still the team coach. Last season's Bundeliga also looked more competitive, several top teams competed fiercely and indeed this will most likely happen again next season and I think this is all inseparable from Leverkusen's success in breaking Bayern Munich's dominance which has made other teams more confident and evolved to do the same. Dortmund is still the same as before, nothing has changed about this team, they are just building a team to stay at the top of the standings but not to become champions, they prefer to sell potential players to get money. Maybe each team has a different way to gain profits. |

A statement from napoli emphasizes that the club is the party that tried to retain him to stay in the club. Napoli is the one who desired his continued presence. And it was completely false called conte as the one defended him to stay. De Laurentis was determined to retain him for another season. Despite receiving several offers, Napoli has turned them down. And here concludes the tale. Kvarat is not available for purchase. The picture I mentioned below provides a comprehensive explanation.  https://football-italia.net/napoli-kvaratskhelia-not-for-sale/Napoli must retain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia because there is a big possibility that Osimhen will leave so this team cannot lose the stability of its front line performance and also Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a player who is still 23 years old and it is likely that he will develop further and his market price could be much higher when he is able to make a performance. which is much better next season, so this will be a kind of investment for Napoli and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is still under contract until 2927 with Napoli so I think this is still quite safe for Napoli. I saw that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's performance at the Euros with Georgia was quite impressive and they even set a new record by successfully entering the round of 16, this is likely to be noticed by many of Europe's top teams and Napoli's task is increasingly difficult to maintain it. However, I believe that the power of money is able to make different decisions in a short time, so this player will be looking forward to his drama in this transfer market. |

I think the Barcelona we now know is clearly different from what they did in their glory days a few years ago and maybe we still won't see that Barcelona figure again, not only next season but for the next 3 years. The reason is that Barcelona have gone too far if they want to be on par with Real Madrid and first they have to restore their finances if they want to be on par with their rivals.
Lewandowski is finished and I think Barcelona should not continue to rely on him because it will only waste opportunities in front of goal. I know he is a player with a lot of experience but look at Real Madrid last season where they didn't rely on pure strikers at all but they were still able to score lots of goals. So what needs to be emphasized here is the potential of the Barcelona players, where in fact they can do the same thing if given the freedom and Hansi Flick must know that.
There is no effort for Barcelona to recover because they do not have strong finances and when compared with Real Madrid, the difference between the two is now very large. And now Barcelona wants to build a team with the young players they have, it is possible to be successful, especially as we can see that they have several young players with potential such as Lamine Yamal, but it will take quite a long time, as you said, maybe in the next 3 years or more. Barcelona has no other choice but to rely on Lewandowski and I see that Lewandowski doesn't just play individually but he is a senior player who guides other young players on the field. I think Lewandowski is still really needed by Barcelona, despite his quality which has decreased a lot due to factors age. |

Spain is truly extraordinary. Because they can qualify for the round of 16 without any difficult obstacles. And they finished all the matches in the group stage without conceding a single goal. And currently only Spain has managed to qualify for the round of 16 with 9 points. But there is still Portugal who have never lost even in the group stage, and maybe today Portugal will also get 9 points if they succeed in beating Georgia.
About Croatia they are not lucky this time. And they had to go home with quite a suffocating disappointment. Modric even seems to be holding back tears if we look at several interviews. Well it was a not so smooth ride for Croatia.
For the England national team, I have now stopped hoping for them. When I hoped there would be a significant change in yesterday's match. But it turns out the result is still the same and yes they did qualify for the round of 16 but I'm not sure they can go further than that.
Spain has proven its quality, they have beaten Italy and Croatia, this is truly an extraordinary performance shown by Spain in the group phase. And it wasn't just Spain who managed to show a stunning performance in the group phase even though they didn't get 9 points, but Germany also showed a very good performance, I think. And Portugal is also very strong, little by little we can see the strength of the teams in the group phase but that cannot be used as a reference because the real proof is when these teams face strong teams from other groups in the round of 16. Croatia is the unluckiest team in my opinion at this Euro, in 2 consecutive matches they failed to win because of a goal back in the last minute, against Albania the score was equalized in the 90+5 minute and against Italy the same thing happened, it was really painful. And this is the last Euro for Luka Modrić which is quite sad. Is it because of the draw against Slovenia? I don't think that can be used as any reference, England are already guaranteed to qualify for the round of 16 so the match in round 3 doesn't have any motivation for them. |
