This week there are 2 big matches in Premier League: Manchester City vs. Liverpool and Everton vs Totthenam!
Liverpool against top teams always get excellent results. Whoever wins between Manchester City and Liverpool will temporarily be in first place alone. Who will lose between Totthenam and Everton will already have a great gap to be recovered!

Revolution in the Premier League, the majority of clubs decided to end the summer transfermaket session, the previous Thursday of the Premier League's first match. Instead, it will be possible to sell players to other nations by August 8 (and not August 31 as this year). I think that even the other top nations(Spain, Italy, Germany,France) will make this decision.
true if this could be the future of the transfer window in summer just only teams need to pick their Target s better and they have to know what positions need reinforcement from the end of the previous season and they would need to get them fast so it's likely that prices go higher then the usual because teams needs to work fast and not lose much time on negotiation and other leagues may follow because there's a lot of transfers are related to the BPL and they have the higher transfer fee so their influence is big and could change the transfers dates for them also. Yes, surely this decision could raise prices, but at least every team can have the full team before the start of the championship. Now many players are jumping for some games because they want to change teams (for example Coutinho, Sanchez) and many times the teams are shaken (Barcelona, Monaco). I think it's right to start the various championships with the players and teams complete and without any further changes.

This week there is the motogp with San Marino GP (Misano). Unfortunately Valentino Rossi will not be there but could come back from next GP at Aragon (24 September) rather than Motegi (October 15). He could have won here and instead with 0 points he will almost certainly be out of the world championship games. The fight is at 3: Dovizioso, Vinales, Marquez

Here's the full draw of the playoffs:
Germany vs France Spain vs Turkey
Slovenia vs Ucraina Latvia vs Montenegro
Lithuania vs Greece Croatia vs Russia
Finland vs Italy Serbia vs Hungary
I think that the semifinals will be: Spain vs Slovenia and Serbia vs Lithuania
Spain and Slovenia are unique teams without defeats.

Argentina's Juan Martin del beat Roger Federer in four sets to reach the US Open semi-finals. He goes on to face Rafael Nadal, who earlier beat Russian teenager Andrey Rublev. What are your thoughts about this semi?
Nadal has the edge between the two, my speculation Nadal will go to the final and even win the grand slam, because of his experience plus the momentum of winning streak it will catapult him to the final. So sad Federer out from this event. I expected him in finals, but unfortunately, he defeated by Del Potro. It was an excellent match b/w Potro vs Federer. Bad luck for Federer. Now everyone put eyes on Nadal. I think who will b/w Nadal vs Potro they will win this trophy. Yes, its sad to see Federer go out against Del Potro. He played very well and I consider this to be his greatest performance so far. The question is, can he perform to the next level against Rafa? For me, it looks like he gave it all in this match and not sure if he has still something in his tank after a hard match against Thiem and Federer. But Federer reaching the quarters, its such a accomplished, he was pushed during the 1st and 2nd round and still managed to win. I guess he's luck run out against the resurging Del Potro. If I'm correct, Nadal has the edge vs Del Potro, let's see if this continue. I also would pick Nadal against him, Rafa has the experience and very tough to beat once he got into a semi-finals. Fantastic victory for Del Potro, he is a great champion but was very unlucky in his career with too many injuries. The decisive moment of the match was the tie-break of the third set in which Federer wasted 4 set points! Nadal vs. Del Potro is the anticipated final, who wins this game will also win the tournament! Nadal seems in great shape but Del Potro can do another epic match and win!

Also in the future who wants to enter could start with the last score in the standings.

I can't believe that Argentina might not qualify for the World Cup. If you look at the names in their squad it's embarrassing for them that they are in this situation. They should be doing much better.
they still have any chance although at the end of qualifications group standing the fifth positions belong to them then they have to fight against Oseania team however if we see their upcoming opponents i think there is a chance to Argentina win the matches because Peru and Ecuador is not strong teams it is really absurd that Argentina is doing all those disastrous results as well as the Chile that has won the last 2 Copa America. In addition to Brazil already qualified, Uruguay and Colombia will almost certainly qualify. Peru (with 3 consecutive wins up from 8th place to 4th) loudly "steal" the place to the strongest Chile and Argentina.

The 60-year-old billionaire Tilman Fertitta bought the Houston Rockets for a monster price of $ 2.200M! Forbes had estimated the team in 1650M but the great Houston roster (especially Harden + Chris Paul) has increased its value. The new owner is ambitious and I think that Houston will be able to fight for the Ring in the next few years.

Fantastic Nadal just won against Rublev dominating the 3-0 match (6-1 6-2 6-2). Now let's wait for Federer to see an epic match! who wins the semifinals will also be No. 1 in the ranking atp!
Fantastic match for Rafa but I think that Rublev was scared of the big match and he had to much better. Rublev never made it to those levels in his life (he is just 19 YO). I believe that when he will get a little more experience he can win every player in the ATP round. yes, he is a great young player and in any case it is a great result a quarter-final in a slam tournament! he will do his best ranking in the top 40! he has the talent to enter the top 10 in the coming years!

Hamilton has exploited the 2 last favorable tracks, and now has (only) 3 points ahead of Vettel. In Asian tracks Vettel is the favorite, while Hamilton is favored on American tracks! I am convinced that the world championship will decide on the last race

Incredible, Chile has just lost against Bolivia (which is already mathematically eliminated) and now, with only 3 points in the last 4 games played, it is seriously unreasonable to qualify!

Projection Atp Ranking:
Nadal and Federer (over 7500 points) are struggling for the top spot in the ranking. Federer will be the new n.1 if: -Federer wins against Del Potro and Nadal loses to Rublev -Federer wins against Nadal in the semi-finals
-Murray will surely be third with 6790 points -A.Zverev will surely be 4th (Best Ranking) with 4470 points -Cilic will surely be 5th (Best Ranking) with 4155 points
Best Ranking also for Pablo Carreno-Busta (already in the semifinals) that will most likely enter in the top ten!

Here are the teams already qualified at eight-finals:
Group A: 3 Qualified teams: France,Slovenia,Finland
Tomorrow, direct clash between Poland and Greece for the fourth and final place for qualifying. Greece is obviously the favorite.
Group B: 3 Qualified teams: Lithuania,Germany,Italy.
Georgia may paradoxically come to second place in the group but may also get fifth and be eliminated. Ukraine qualifies if it wins against Israel (already eliminated) and at the same time Italy wins against Georgia.
Group C: 4 Qualified teams: Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, Hungary Spain has dominated and won the group
Group D: 4 Qualified teams: Latvia, Serbia, Russia,Turkey
