Yeah, i just feel so disappointed with his decision. He was picking the worst club in MLS. I don't even expect with the come of messi in intermiami will be able to change everything. Intermiami is now placing at the bottom of MLS.
It's a bit make sense if he was moving to the nashvilla or cincinnati but intermiami. What the heck was wrong with him. Im feeling curious what's his main motivation to pick it.

I can imagine that Lionel Messi couldn't care less if he joined a top club from the MLS or a club that is usually at the bottom of the table, because everyone knows that the only reason why he is going to the US now is that he can earn an ridiculous high amount of money now even in comparison to his salary so far. I am pretty sure that Messi does not care if Inter Miami can fight for the title or not because for him that MLS title means nothing anyway because he has won all the really important trophies in the world of football already like the Champions League and also the world cup. He is there to make some huge bank and that's it. I am not a friend of such transfers, but it is what it is.
I think Messi weighed his options and opted for Inter Miami which hold promising benefits not only for the present but the future also. This is a really brave decision and a good step towards improving Inter Miami and the MLS. A move to Barcelona would seem good but I was pretty sure it wouldn't feel same way it felt in his prime. I guess he feared making the same mistake Ronaldo made by returning to Manchester United and we all know how that ended. At MLS he is promised many lifetime benefits I guess he accepted this deal for a brighter future.

Maybe a bit strange to 100% support Manchester City without considering Inter's chances.
Everyone now knows that Manchester City is the strongest team in Europe compared to Inter, but I think Inter can provide something that should not be underestimated by their opponents. Manchester City have a habit of controlling play, but sometimes they find it difficult to find space if the opposing team has a good defence.

I remember how Brighton managed to force Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the last few Premier League matches, so Inter must be able to find a solution on how best to stop Manchester City. But of course, I doubt Inter can stop Manchester City because they have been doing very well this season. All the players that Manchester City have are dangerous, so that is the biggest obstacle for Inter.
After watching how Real Madrid were humiliated by Manchester City in the semi finals second leg, most football lovers have been quick to write off Inter Milan but this is football and anything is possible, Manchester City have more winning probability against Inter Milan but I strongly believe that Inter Milan will not sit back like Real Madrid and watch Manchester City dominate the game throughout.

I already said this before, but i really think that the chances of Borussia Dortmund to become Bundesliga champions this year were extremely high and i don't think that they will get such a big chance again in the next 5 years or so. As you already said, Bayern Munich is by far the strongest team of the Bundesliga and if they are able to at  least reach like 85% of their maximum performance level, then they will win the Bundesliga no matter what the other clubs are doing. This year this was not the case and still Dortmund was not able to profit from that. Now Bayern should be alarmed again and take the next season more serious.
Borussia Dortmund came really close this season in the race for the title, they pushed Bayern Munich until the end and didn't bow down easily. They might not be champions but I commend their efforts, performance and good mentality. If they can do the same next season, with a little luck they might get a chance to win the league.

Sevilla won the Europa League this season and they were lucky enough to win this title but on the other hand, Sevilla have taken the final automatic place for the next champions league and they should get themself ready for the champions league where they are going to have harder games than what they had in Europa League. Sevilla couldn't have a good performance in most of the games in the Europa League and in La Liga but they should start hiring better players if they want to achieve something in the champions league.
Sevilla are successful in this competition, they now have a record of seven Europa league trophies. They managed to defeat Roma to become champions and gain automatic qualification to the Champions league. I must say that it is a bit surprising that they are champions judging from their performance level in other competitions this season nevertheless the fact that they won the Europa league trophy is all that matters now.

Only Mourinho fans will think Roma is doing well. I applaud them for getting to the Europa final, but then again, they had to forego every other trophy to pursue just one. I don't think that's a wise move. It's a big gamble and it didn't pay off my if it had paid off everybody would have been singing praise of Mourinho's class, but it did not pay off.
Roma was horrible in the league. They barely finished 6th, just a point above Juventus.
Maybe you're right that with another coach Roma won't get to the final, but their performance needs to improve. They can't keep playing like that. They played really badly in both legs against Leverkusen and didn't play really well against Sevilla. Playing that pattern o football won't take them no where.
I can boldly say that Roma are doing well under Mourinho because in a space of three years they have played two European cup finals and won one, before now Roma could barely qualify for European competitions talk more playing in a final, it is clear that Mourinho is actually doing a great job with this team.

The downturn that befell Chelsea due to blunders made by team management, the decision to fire Tuchel was the beginning of Chelsea downfall. After the change of coach, Chelsea appearance did not improve, Potter, who was expected to improve Chelsea performance, failed to meet management expectations which made him the same fate as Tuchel. Chelsea was only able to finish 12th despite having good player material, when compared to the quality of other club squads, Chelsea is included in the list of teams with a luxurious squad after bringing in players at high prices. .
I still do not understand the reason why Thomas Tuchel was sacked in the first place because it seems to me that Todd Boehly made the decision to sack Tuchel based on emotions, I believe Todd Boehly was no longer fond of the coach and so he had to take him out.. I really hope he has learnt a thing or two from this unsuccessful season and do better in the next one.

Well, I just read a tweet from Fabrizio Romano. that Sheikh Jassim made a fifth bid to buy 100% of Manchester United. this is a better offer with a clear indication : take it or leave it. thus, there will be no further bids from the Qatar group. after this Friday, Sheikh Jassim will not be involved in the process. that means, Sheikh Jassim will step down to no longer be involved in acquiring Manchester United.
So, would the Glazers give it to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and they would still own even if it was only 10%. or, there will be no deal that will happen to both parties. this is interesting, but I'm not sure if the Glazers will let it go or not.

IMO, it seems, what is emphasized by the Qatari side will make Glaszer rethink. if not, it means Glaszer will lose out on a significant profit from the sale. as you said, this will backfire for the Glaszers, if the Qatari side stops their desire to acquire Manchester United. So, do you think the Glaszer family will let him go this time? Or, they will stick with their marketing strategy.
I'm sure the Manchester United fans are very angry at the Glazer family.
If I was a United fan, I would prefer Sheikh Jassim to take over the club than Sir Jim Ratcliffe because I believe an Arab owner will be willing to spend much on player sales and sporting facilities the same way other clubs owned by Arab owners are enjoying but the Glazers are concerned about owning some percentage of shares at the club instead of selling off the entire ownership. Would the wish of the supporters decide the outcome or will the wishes of the Glazers be the last option?

Here we go!

After going through many rumors for half a year, Jude Bellingham finally answered that he chose Real Madrid as his new home. An extraordinary transfer fee of around 100 million euros plus add-ons of 30 million euros makes him one of the most expensive young players this season. It seems that Florentino Perez did not hesitate to spend that much for Bellingham from Dortmund and the era of Los Galacticos volume 2 seems to be starting soon since Bellingham's arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu. I think Real Madrid will not sit idly by for all competitions next season and they are also ready to compete with other top European teams.
For months Jude Bellingham have been linked with Real Madrid, week after week with increasing speculations about a possible deal, I am delighted that Jude Bellingham is finally accepting a move to Real Madrid this summer for £100 million. I know many people will want to criticize this deal but the current market inflation has a huge influence on player deals these days besides he is worth the price in this modern day.

It is just money that rules football now. Anything that you everly thought will not happen in football is happening now. You can see how every super star wants to go Saudi because of money. It was actually money that took Ronaldo to Saudi and today Messi wants to join him there because of money and I bet you that Kylian Mbappe may remain at PSG throughout his career if the Paris side are willing to be paying him outrageously.
On the worse scenario, you can still see Mbappe going to Saudi at his young age if the money is overly much offered to him. Nothing surprises me anymore when money is involved.
No one plays for passion anymore! Karim Benzema's deal is already sealed and announced, I came across photos of him holding the new club's shirt. The next player targeted is Ngolo Kante and Luka Modric. Obviously this tells that the aim of bringing top and world class players to the league is gradually been achieved because it seems the league is already gaining recognition around the world as more star players are moving there.

It's really unfortunate that Leicester City are getting relegated this season to championship division after 8 years of competing in the premier league, it is also disappointing having to lose key players due to this drop and I am a bit surprised to hear Maddison is leaving the club because a player of Maddison's calibre will be sought for by top teams which makes a departure very likely to happen.

With all due respect for Vardy and I really liked him as a player because he wasn't turning the field into a circus show with unnecessary tricks and gestures. He was straightforward and a hardworking offender with good defensive work during his strongest season. But his time has come and saying that he should be preferred over Mason Mount at this stage of his career isn't realistic. Vardy scored 3 goals in 37 Premier League appearances. But I don't even blame him. The whole team didn't play well and he is 36.5 years old. He could have left the club much earlier but decided against it and I think that decision should be well respected because a lot of people just leave for a team that pays more or makes life easier. He took on a challenge and that is a great act in this profit driven world.
Despite the team's poor performances in this season, I wouldn’t blame it entirely on Vardy because I believe his performance last season was also influenced by the team's inability to win most of their games and lost most of their games. It's unfortunate that even Vardy wasn't able to save them from relegation this season and will have to compete in the championship next season.

Since the Todd Boehly era, many talented players have come to Chelsea and the funds spent were also not small, but at that time the quality of the coaches chosen was very random. Maybe this time Chelsea won't repeat the same thing because at least Pochettino is still better than Potter or Lampard. Now it's just a matter of how he will manage all these talented players in the next season and of course in his first season as Chelsea coach he will encounter a few difficulties, but that's quite normal.

After all, Pochettino's experience is also not small in the EPL because previously he had also coached Spurs, although in the end he still failed to present a title. Regarding the recruitment of new players, I think Pochettino only needs strikers and defenders because the midfield to the wings are good enough, it's just a lack of coordination.
I really don’t see Todd Boehly as an expert in this field and I don't expect much from him in this regard. He tried handling transfer affairs of the club and it obviously was a mess, I hope he has learnt his lessons and hopefully those mistakes will be avoided with Pochettino’s arrival. I am curious to see what strategies and disciplinary measures Pochettino will put in place to make things better at the club. Chelsea supporters will be expecting a change next season with high hopes that Pochettino will be the man to stay for longer time and win trophies.

The arabian club was never giving huge offers in the past but the things have changed once nassr was offering a very big contract to the ronaldo. Nassr was even making ronaldo as the richest footballers.

It's starting now. Even benzema is aware of how important money when he will not be playing in the football again. that's why 1 season in madrid is not important anymore since an offer was coming for him from ittihad.

If saudi clubs were offering a huge contract to the non star player and i think this player will accept it instantly. Arabian club was only picking star player from EU league to push the popularity of the competition.

You will be seeing more EU players come to the SPL soon. It's just the matter of time.

People have been interesting to become professional football caused by they could get huge salary + popularity.

I am happy Karim Benzema finally landed this deal, this is a huge deal especially coming at this stage of his career he will have the chance to play and earn a very huge amount of money in wages. It might not be one of the leagues in Europe but at this point I think it is the money that matters the most. Benzema is aged and past his prime there isn't much left to prove or show to convince anyone that he is one of the best players in the world.

Pochettino is going to start his job at Chelsea by the 1st of July. Chelsea should be entering a completely new period from now on. We shouldn't be seeing anything left from Potter's time because it was just horrible. Potter wasn't a manager who had experience with a top team before so it was some risk to take for Boehly.

The results of this risk were really heavy for the team as they couldn't even finish the season in top 10. Of course not all the time this kind of managers fail. For example Nagelsmann did a really great work with Bayern Munich in his first times. But here it was the right call to sack Potter after all that poor effort during the season.
So much will be expected from Pochettino coming in as a replacement for the coaches that have come and left especially with the high profiled players at the club currently. The process might take a while certainly but how much patience the board and fans can excercise matters too. I hope Todd Boehly will leave the dressing room affairs and let the manager do his job.

This season seems to be a strong reason for several players to leave the club and now Di Maria is reported to have officially left Juventus in the summer. It looks like Juventus will not extend his contract which will expire on June 30 and this decision makes Di Maria's status a free agent. Actually Di Maria is still good enough for several teams in Europe, but I don't hear rumors regarding offers from any European teams at this time.

At this old age it seems very difficult to find a place in Europe and maybe going to the Saudi league is one of the best options now, moreover, it has started to be seen that several European players who are approaching retirement are finally placing themselves in a team from the Saudi league.
The news came as a shock to me because Di Maria has been an important player for Juventus even though he has struggled with injuries at the club. Reports have it that he has been declared a free agent today but preferred destination still unknown, it is also said that Benfica are interested in bringing him back to the club but a decision is still not made by the player as there are also other options on the table.

Barcelona are rumored to be signing Inigo Martinez in the near future. This player is a free transfer player. Apart from that, news regarding Messi back to Barcelona become a headline once again. Although I think Messi is also willing to return to Spain, the financial problems facing Barcelona will prevent this from happening. However, Messi will not be willing to aggree with low salary offer, considering Al-Hilal is waiting for him with a bigger salary. Unless Messi is satisfied with the money he own, salary shouldn't be a problem if he can return to Barcelona.
Messi seem willing to rejoin Barcelona this summer and it us only a matter of time before Barcelona begin steps to make Messi a Barcelona player again. Talking about the money, Messi had taken a pay-cut before to remain at the club, I'm confident he can make that sacrifice again for Barcelona been fully aware of the conditions of the club.
637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 05, 2023, 10:47:07 PM
I think Messi will return to Barcelona sooner or later and that's the best he can do, Jorge Messi had a meeting with Laporta at his house and when he was leaving Laporta's house he said Messi wants to return to Barcelona.
However, I know he wanted to come back but the problem with returning Messi to Barcelona is about his salary which is not a small price for Barcelona.

https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2023/06/05/647dd535ca47416e1d8b4579.html
A return to Barcelona is almost certain for Lionel Messi now, for many months Barcelona have been talking about a possible return and the club president has never denied the club's intentions to do so.  Now that club signing fee is out of the way and he could be signed for free I think Barcelona have better chances of getting his signature this summer.

Mourinho is still leaving the door open for offers. His ultimate goal must have been to win the Europa League title this season or finish the season in top 4 in the Serie A. However they did none of them I'm afraid. I think that this result has dropped his credit in the team also. I think that either way Mourinho would have been ready to leave Roma.

As you must have heard his name has been called with the PSG job a lot lately. He is also aware of it so he seems ready to start the talks. Galtier made a statement like he was contented with the work they did this season. But he wasn't successful even a bit. The Ligue 1 title doesn't count as PSG are accustomed to win it like all the time.

I think that it would be for the benefit of PSG to sign a deal with Mourinho as soon as possible.
Very disappointing result on Mourinho's side because I believe he would have loved to continue his strive for making history and his hunger to play and compete in the champions league next season but all that slipped away as they failed to defeat Sevilla and win the title, now they have lost the title and champions league qualification as well.

Does anybody know whether there are still allegations against Manchester City for violating financial fair play rules? This could be important for those other clubs like Newcastle, too. When they want to make their investment decisions, they should know what to expect from the relevant authorities in this matter. But whether Manchester City, which is now the flagship of the Premier League, gets really penalized is unlikely.

But for the future they should slowly but surely come up with rules that everybody has to either stick to or not and it should be the same across leagues. When they apply sanctions in Italy but they don't in other leagues, the whole FFP chaos will never lead to more fairness, but only to more tricks being applied to find loopholes in the system. Newcastle could be the next one to be under constant investigation.

I am not sure but I think the allegations probably have been dropped because at the beginning stage of the season their were news going round that Manchester City will suffer points deduction and evwn expulsion from the EPL if they were found guilty but no punishment of that sort has been passed which makes me believe the charges have been dropped.



Rumors of Joao Felix seem to be growing, Atletico Madrid are reported to be lending Joao Felix to Newcastle United because they need players to face several competitions next season including the Champions League. However, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe said his club would not be offering big salaries to players that would make it difficult for them to sign the best players.
Meanwhile, the highest salary at Newcastle United is currently held by Kieran Trippier, Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes, who each pocket 6.5 million pounds per season and that will be the maximum salary that Joao Felix will get if he is positively loaned out by Atletico. Madrid.
If the rumours are true then I expect this move to be a turning point for Joao Felix because Newcastle are a good team with a vision and trying to grow and be better, at Newcastle I get a feeling that Joao Felix will blend in so well with the talents and young , creating that atmosphere for him to improve even more.

La Liga ended with the closure of the unsatisfactory results of the top 3 clubs Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico who did not do well even though in this case it actually didn't really affect their position in the standings I'm still not too satisfied with the match in the last week This.

On the other hand, it looks like we will see a reshuffle that will be carried out by Madrid next season.
Their 4 strikers, namely Asensio, Benzema, Mariano and Hazard, are certain that next season they will not strengthen Real Madrid because indeed an agreement has been taken and they have agreed to part ways.
This is clearly a pretty big overhaul from Madrid because indeed with this they have to look again as a replacement from now on.
It was not surprising as it was the last match day in Laliga and as we know all top three clubs have not much to fight for at this stage of the season and therefore not much was expected from them. It is confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that all four players will be leaving on a free move as there are no plans in place for contract extensions.

As a matter of fact, it's very unsafe to depend on a single coin. In otherwords, invest into more than one token by spreading your investment into potential coins but be careful not to invest into pump and dump coins. Above all, make sure to maintain risk management in which ever crypto asset you are investing in.
Investing in a bunch of altcoins as a form of risk management is a very dumb idea, the idea “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” doesn’t work the same way in crypto. Without proper research and understanding you can invest in ten shitcoins and they all lose value. I think beginners should focus more on bitcoin, it has the least volatility compared to altcoins.
