Ousmane Dembélé put them to sleep. What a great goal and he made it back to back. Juve's left wing is alarming. Dembélé showed he will start games next season, hopefully he won't face any injuries so we can see a full season finally from him. That would definitely boost Barca's championship chances.
Barca's defense didn't look they are ready for new season. They were lazy on Kean's both goals. Obviously these friendlies are great to see problem areas, Xavi should act on it. Luckily La Liga will start one week later than others, so they still have time to fix some problems.
In this case Dembele seems to be playing better under Xavi now but I can quite agree to say their defense is a bit slack. On the other hand, we can actually see that Juventus are currently playing better than before and obviously this can be a good record if they are destined to meet in the Champions League. |

I know who will win the Serie A next season, but it will definitely be a close fight for the Champions League
because the places are few and the pretenders are now many
at least 6 according to my estimates, so they will fight with nails and teeth
Even for this title, it is still uncertain, especially if we look in the mirror in the season that happened a few months ago, we can see the movement of the Serie A teams in the league, even though they are competitive, but sometimes they don't play too well there, so it is possible that this season will still continue. will be the same. It could be like that, hopefully there will be another surprise from Atalanta this season so that the competition for the UCL will be more exciting there. |

Are you ready to determine which team will win the title in the 2022-2023 season? Looks like many of you are still ignoring the main page because so far the poll is active and not many people have made their choice yet. So make your choice. About me, it must be Manchester City.
this is still the main choice because I still feel that for this season it is still the same as the previous season otherwise City means Liverpool even though I am on the opposite side of you because I am in the red camp, not blue  It's difficult for other teams to make a meaningful breakthrough here as long as both teams are still in their best form. |

Their problem is still the same as in previous seasons in that the consistency is still not well maintained so it is indeed difficult for them to make a good breakthrough in Serie A.
Losing Koulibally is also something that might be one of the things that has the potential to give them problems next season, making their chances of getting the title even slimmer.
Of the several names that have officially left Napoli, I see only Dries Mertens and Kalidou Koulibaly who are Luciano Spalletti's main choices, to overcome Koulibaly's departure, Spalletti can try Juan Jesus. And the arrival of Mathias Olivera will add to the list of defenders that Luciano Spalletti could choose for next season, defensive issues I'm sure can be overcome but I'm a little doubtful front line, they haven't looked to bring in a new striker, Kvaratskhelia still not convincing enough. Still in this case even if they add players in the defense there it will still be very difficult for them especially Koulibally's role is clearly very vital and this cannot be replaced, especially for new players. For strikers, especially last season they still need a striker there and now instead of adding, they are reducing the number of strikers because Dries Mertens has to leave. This clearly has to be a concern because if they continue like this then what is expected is that they can compete for the title, because just to maintain their position it will be very difficult. |

West Ham United will sign Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo for 43 million dollars. Born in 99, the player showed himself in the Italy national team. The 1.95 tall striker made a name for himself with the goals he scored in the cup matches he played with Sassuolo. It was only a matter of time before he made his way to a big team, so West Ham didn't miss the opportunity. This tall forward could be one of the stars of the future.
In the end Scamacca decided his fate and indeed this is a better thing for him than going to PSG in my opinion because indeed at West Ham he is still very much needed in contrast to PSG which sometimes even though new players are not given more trust. Reportedly in this regard West ham have reached a personal agreement regarding this player and it will not be long before Gianluca Scamacca will be their player if this goes well. |

Barcelona are likely to keep Frenkie de Jong in the team now. However there are so many midfielders in the squad at the same time. I don't know whether they are thinking of finding a solution for this. Having too many alternatives in the team can cause some of those players to get really sad in time. This would cause serious in-team problems. I hope that Xavi has plans about this topic and they can sell some players while buying too.
The concept of Barcelona this season is to keep buying and not letting players go They now have a lot of players in midfield and attacking positions but indeed they seem reluctant to let go of players even though there are already several clubs who want their players to be brought in. But indeed for De Jong there is still uncertain in my opinion even though there is hope for him to be in the core Line Up but things like this can still be another consideration for Xavi. |

The player who had just signed for Barcelona in this season's transfer window really enjoyed his first El Clasico even though it was only in Friendly Match. This match is very happy for Raphinha because before the match started he was very confident to beat Madrid, he also wanted to score in his first El Clasico, and he proved it. Barcelona managed to beat Madrid through the only goal scored by Raphinha in the 27th minute.
Raphinha made a pretty incredible shot from outside the penalty box by successfully nesting in the real madrid goal. Raphinha is a player who makes the difference in Xavi words and this was proven in the El clasico match last night, Raphinha was able to present a beautiful goal for Barcelona victory over real madrid. Yes, even though this is just a friendly match, but this is a match that Raphinha dreams of with Barcelona. Xavi even highly praised the appearance of the Brazilian bomber, he is a player who is really needed, that's what Xavi said. In addition, Xavi assesses that his current squad is really ready for next season competition. I think Barcelona will play a more aggressive game in the early matches of next season. A good start for Raphinha in this match because indeed with a good performance in this match Barcelona can take a win which is enough to be a very good capital for them to prepare for La Liga which will soon start. But in this case it is clear that even though they won, in terms of attack they still have to make a few more changes because indeed some of their attacks sometimes don't go as desired and sometimes there are some mistakes that they make themselves. |

What is certain for the two places in one and two will be dominated by Manchester City and Liverpool, well the competition for the two places below it will probably be a long competition throughout the season. Because apart from Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal at least there are other teams that also have the potential to penetrate that position. I'm considering how Newcastle came back in the second half of last season, I don't have much of their transfer record but I'm sure those with rich holdings can have the ability to compete for higher ground next season. I wouldn't write down Liverpool in top two automatically. Manchester City is OK in top two but I'd see bigger competition this season. Arsenal is gaining great as you can witness from their USA camp. They will be a bigger threat to everybody. Arsenal also has a good fixture and we might see them on top after fifth week. If they carry their friendly performance to league games there is no reason for them to lose points in first couple of games. Why not? apart from some clubs that do have potential for next season, there are still 2 clubs that are guaranteed to have a big 2 are Liverpool and City. They are the contenders for the title again this year. Indeed, there are some clubs that are quite good if you look at last season and the transfer movement that was carried out such as Arsenal, Chelsea and even Tottenham. But they will only decorate and fight for the position of 3 down. |

For the new season I think Napoli's chances will be lower even though for the top four places, some key Napoli players have left and it will make the rotation of players not going well because it requires adaptation with new players. So for one team it would be Roma with Dybala wanted, but only for a place in the top four and not for the title. As the other three teams are clear especially about Juventus, this team could be a serious candidate for the new season and I have no doubts about it at all.
Their problem is still the same as in previous seasons in that the consistency is still not well maintained so it is indeed difficult for them to make a good breakthrough in Serie A. Losing Koulibally is also something that might be one of the things that has the potential to give them problems next season, making their chances of getting the title even slimmer. |

the semi-final matches are now fixed :
England : Sweden and Germany : France
England : Sweden will be played at Bramall Lane Stadium in Sheffield and Germany : France will be played at Stadium MK in Bletchley.
the two matches start on tuesday and wednesday at 9 pm .
i am looking forward to these two games and hope that germany and sweden make it to the final !
4 teams that will be difficult to predict who will advance to the next round because indeed these 4 teams from the beginning of the group stage are already quite favored and have become favorites to reach this stage. I'm happy with the show this time because even though I won't be fighting with too aggressive bets now but I'm quite happy with these 4 players who will compete because this is really worth watching. |

I did and I won this bet even though the odds weren't very good and I actually feel like I almost lost my money here, luckily in the last minute of extra time Linda Sembrant got my money back Now they have qualified and there is a strong enough opponent waiting for them in the Semi Finals. Last minute goal for a lucky win for Sweden. Odds werent big but Sweden was an apsolute favorite and they showed it on the field with over 30+ shots,while Belgium had only 3 shots and not a single on target. Sweden will have a hard match against England in the semis You could say they were lucky from there because the goal was just before the whistle and this is a good thing for them. But in this match even though I got my money back for being on the side of Sweden I still appreciate the performance of N. Evrard who was in the last line of defense for Belgium. Some of his saves were really very good and indeed I feel he is MOTM for Belgium in this match despite losing. |

The news of Ronaldo in the transfer now is getting even funnier because there are so many unqualified teams being linked and the last thing I read was Arsenal so I stopped not following the news about Ronaldo.
I'm actually pretty sure he's still at Manchester United but there are still some possibilities that will happen even though the news out there is always exaggerating
We still remember the process of moving Ronaldo from Juventus to Man United so fast so while the transfer window has not been closed there is still a possibility Rome is one of the teams reportedly interested in Ronaldo but this news was never confirmed by Roma, let's wait how this drama ends. Who knows the moment last season happened again. Regardless of how quickly the process will be if that happens, still he will not be at Roma in any case because the reason he moved is one of them the Champions League and Roma are not there. If you look at this and play in the Europa League why did he change clubs because United were also there. I still believe in my stance which says that he will stay. |

I was thinking today about Ronaldo and how "everyone" is refusing him. Do I trust those headlines from the news ? Nah. Do I like it tho ? Yes. Why ? Well , how about Ronaldo joining AC.Milan ? Almost all top class players have cross roads with Ac Milan in their careers and besides that ,Ac.MIlan are having a great squad right now and Ronaldo would be the perfect fit for them. Will it happen ? It could be if Milan would have approached Ronaldo.
AC Milan is a club in poor financial condition at the moment what do you expect from them who will be able to bring Ronaldo there? At least this factor alone has answered that Ronaldo will not be at Milan for the next seasons because it will not be possible for a club in crisis to be able to bring in players with above average quality and salary. Well Ronaldo dosent have much options anymore for teams that play in the champions league. With Milans current situation i dont think they will bring him. The wages are too big and it probobly wont happen. I also dont see Milan next season in serie a in top 3 teams The news of Ronaldo in the transfer now is getting even funnier because there are so many unqualified teams being linked and the last thing I read was Arsenal so I stopped not following the news about Ronaldo. I'm actually pretty sure he's still at Manchester United but there are still some possibilities that will happen even though the news out there is always exaggerating |

Sweden - Belgium
1.26 - 5.40 - 10.00
I'm not sure it's worth betting with such low odds. Maybe it looks like easy money, but what if Belgium scores first and sits on the defensive (and at least get a draw in regular time)? Such a scenario is quite likely, even yesterday Austria attacked more than Germany at first and had a chance.

Today, the neighbouring countries Germany and Austria meet. There's probably no doubt that Germany will win this game and Austria won't be able to score. Judging by the way Germany has played in previous games against strong teams, Austria has no chance today. I'm sure Germany will make it to the next round.
Germany and Austria both of teams had very strong defensive during this tournament because on the group stage Germany never to conceded goals and Austria only conceded 1 goals from England so i assume whoever the winner of this match the score will very slim but indeed without doubted Germany is the favourite and the current odds for Germany is @1.29 indeed this quite low but it is decent to try because for every statistics for both of them showed Germany is too strong for Austria As you said, it's 80 minutes and the score is still 1-0 in favor of Germany. The match was not as usual for Germany because of the 16 kick attempts only 4 were on target, but Austria also had the same 11 kick attempts only 2 were on target because the defenses of the two teams were quite tight so it was difficult to penetrate freely into the defense area. . Now Germany just maintain this score alone is enough for them to advance to the next round. |

Harry Maguire's blunders have become a major problem, some people say Maguire is not good at all, some say he's being supressed by the pressure of the team not being in fine form and losing games. Which every reason it be, Erik Ten Hag will have to something about the situation, Harry needs the support of the coach, the players and the fans to help him get back his confidence and form.
Not too surprised by this because he always does things like this by releasing the opposing striker in a dangerous place to the detriment of his own team Don't know why Maguire is always defended by his coaches even from the Ole era until now he continues to be played. Even though in terms of performance it is clear he always makes mistakes in every game he plays. |

Luis Suarez until now have no clubs although he has linked to several clubs from England and Spain but he hasn't decided which clubs will be his destination and currently rumours is his agent has been offering him to Dortmund and Dortmund has confirmed this news that they will considering to get Suarez but Dortmund have to see Haller health condition first and if Haller cannot play for long term period then Dortmund probably will get him and they have a plan will give Suarez short term contract
Until now the clubs that are still often linked with Suarez are still the same, namely Milan and Monza but indeed there will be other clubs that have an interest there to bring in this player. But for Dortmund at this time there is still no further confirmation although there is indeed some news about Suarez offering himself to them. But at this time Haller really couldn't do much because he couldn't help but have to be absent long enough to cure his illness. |

Barcelona is the team that is most actively moving to bring in the players they want. They also managed to get some players to strengthen them next season. Although with limited capital they were able to silence some people who doubted some transfers which they found difficult to see from their financial point of view. Now they are better prepared, I see their strength will return to enliven the title race.
But this is also still contradictory to their current finances. Maybe from the transfer they really can but can they really do this until the end with the debt that is indeed increasing and several other problems. Hopefully problems like salary demands for most of their players last season won't happen again this season because last season there were some problems in this. |

There is a possibility for Edinson Cavani to join Villarreal in a short time. He was rumoured with the Italian club Monza before but now there is a bigger chance for him to sign for Villarreal. There are many strikers at Villarreal now actually. There are five centre-forwards now so I'm not sure if it is good for them to sign another one now. I don't think that they are thinking of Cavani in the starting eleven. They can do this by only preferring a formation that consists of two strikers.
Yep, this will most likely happen in the near future and it is reported that Cavani has signed a pre-deal with Villarreal and is now busy looking for a place to live closest to the La Ceramica stadium. As for the matter of the starting line-up, I still feel that he will only be a substitute for Arnaut Danjuma who will certainly remain in the core striker next season if he does not leave Villarreal. |
