Even long before now Real Madrid team wasn't finding it difficult to win most matches especially in the Spanish La Liga games and now that Mbappe has been brought into the team, it will help to even make the team get more better that's if he's arrival won't affect the positive growth of the team since he's a player that likes to been seen as the best and the head speaking from his experience with his other team mates in PSG. The Madrid coach will surely blend Mbappe to become a better top 9 and the presence of Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and Vinicius junior alone will help Mbappe to score goals with ease because the above names are good runners and also finishers who will likely work with Mbappe to ensure they get a better result and win trophies for the team.
In La Liga Real Madrid is still one of the best clubs even though it is not strengthened by Mbappe.
Mbappe's presence actually adds strength to the attack line and will make Real Madrid stronger than before.
One thing that is difficult is how Ancelotti must be able to defend the Champions League title because in La Liga I don't think it is that difficult. Real Madrid has players who have speed in running, but this strategy cannot necessarily be implemented because each match definitely has a different strategy.

It will be much easier for Mbappe to score goals if other players can provide good passes, just like when he plays for the national team, where in the past there was Pogba who always sent beautiful passes for him to score goals.
Of course, Ancelotti will not waste Mbappe's presence, of course they will work well together to defend his title and bring Mbappe to win the Champions League, and of course there will be a new trio in Madrid because we know they have long lost their fierce forward figure and now Mbappe's presence will really help them to form something new and sharper than before, and there is no doubt that coach Ancelotti already has a wealth of experience to help his players become bigger because Ancelotti has succeeded in attacking Vinicius and also several other players and Now it's Mbappe's turn and Ancelotti will definitely do it.

And it would also be very good if Mbappe was placed as the spearhead and of course Vinicius and Bellingham would be very helpful in scoring goals because we know that Real Madrid's young players are very experienced and of course Mbappe's presence will complement them on the front lines.

Meanwhile in Ligue 1, PSG opportunity to continue to dominate the competition is very large, where no other contestants have financial equivalents to them. The gap in strength is still very visible, no team has yet to seriously challenge PSG, Enrique's fleet is even believed to be able to win the trophy despite experiencing setbacks after Mbappe departure. We can only hope that there is a team that can suppress PSG in Ligue 1, so that it can make the competition for trophies more competitive. So far, Ligue 1 is like the Farmers League, its attraction lies only in PSG.
Apart from what you said, I think we also shouldn't directly say about a setback for the PSG team because that hasn't happened after Mbappe left for Real Madrid. Because PSG still has time to think in order not to experience a setback in its performance next season and apart from that, I also agree with what you said, PSG can still dominate Ligue 1 even though Mbappe is no longer in their squad next season. However, I also hope that other teams can take the opportunity to move better in order to match PSG's strength in Ligue1 next season so that Ligue1 looks more competitive than last season.
No one needs to speculate between PSG and French League 1 because they will definitely dominate the league even if they lose Mbappe, now what needs to be asked is how Luis Enrique will do in the Champions because PSG really needs the Champions trophy, and currently Luis Enrique is of course considering this This is to give PSG the Champions League title, because in the French League 1 of course there is no big pressure for them because they still have star players they can rely on, but losing Mbappe is also a problem for the team and Luis Enrique because they will lose their mainstay in the PSG squad.

And currently Luis Enrique also needs some ideal players to help make PSG fans' dream of becoming Champions come true, and I will not doubt Luis Enrique because he is a coach who already has a lot of experience in the Champions and of course he will do it he something to win it, now it's just a matter of waiting who will be the mainstay next season, because we know Luis Enrique is very skilled at seeing the potential of young players.

I'm worried that if Napoli buys Lukaku, it won't match Napoli's expectations, and won't even have any impact on the team. In my opinion, it's much better to look for younger players whose stamina isn't a priority. If they force it, the big possibility is that Napoli will of course waste money on transfers.  that happened, keeping Osimhen rather than having to sacrifice him just for an old player like Lukaku.
It's true that Lukaku has started to decline when he defended his country at the Euros but seeing him with AS Roma he looks like a good striker, he works hard, moreover Conte has also worked with Lukaku so he knows what a good game is for him and Lukaku might really suit him strategy, because they both had beautiful moments when at Inter they managed to win the Italian Serie A for the 2021 season and so maybe they will succeed in taking advantage of that at Napoli.

Lukaku is also still very ideal in the Italian Serie A so there is no harm in Napoli bringing him to repeat his sweet togetherness with Conte, especially since Lukaku is very experienced in Serie A and Napoli really needs experienced players at the moment.

Manchester United have signed Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. Manchester United will pay a fee of around 45 million Euro to Bologna for this player.
Zirkzee, who came out of the Bayern München youth system and played for Anderlecht and Bologna, will now play in the Premier League. I think he went to the wrong place as a team, even though he was right in terms of league choice. I hope his career continues as he wants.

This player can play well in the Italian league but we shouldn't forget that this is the EPL where even some of the best players come and become flops. I'll still say it that nobody should say  Zirkzee is going to bring the best of Manchester United yet until we see his performance with the Red Devils, we have players in the Man UTD dressing room that haven't played half of what they were playing in their previous clubs so is too early, we know UTD are bad at making a player play his best, is just a matter of time to see this guy in action.
I hope Manchester United did not act too early like Hojlund. Of course, Zirkzee is a little better than Hojlund. I think Zirkzee can be successful in the EPL. A good transfer for Manchester United is on paper. I hope he can quickly adapt during the year and have a better year.
And now we just have to wait when he will start training with Man United because an agreement has been reached and Zirkzee will be under contract until 2029, of course this is a purchase that can be said to be a good one considering that Zirkzee has good qualities. potential with his individual abilities and also being very good at getting past opposing defences, this is a good opportunity for him to show the media that he is a player who has potential and I hope he can be successful there.

And there is no harm in buying Hojlund, he is still very young and last season he was not at his best, but he has a big body and this can be utilized if Man United next season trusts him more and pampers his opponent's heart. defense because he is a good player, for aerial balls now we just have to wait and see what the coach's strategy will be next season because it all depends on the system being played, so there was no harm in buying Hojlund last season.

It was a much more interesting game between the two teams before half time and both teams played well enough that there were no goals. But after halftime, Spain attacked much more powerfully and managed to score a goal in the 47th minute and they went ahead. The England team then attacked a lot to level the game and leveled the game in the 73rd minute. But then the Spanish team got more excited and scored another goal in the 86th minute to make it 2-1. Later England tried hard but could not equalize the game but Spain team gave a very strong performance and they finally took the Euro trophy. After winning the Euro trophy in 2012, it was really interesting that Spain team won the Euro trophy again in 2024.
There is no doubt that Spain will be the champions of the Euro this time, because it is clear how they started very well and they also managed to show a stunning game that made them champions, regarding England they did not appear attractive at the Euro, and they had to settle for being runners up because the performance was just like that, looking at the match between the two Spanish teams, they were very ambitious, they played the ball and managed to get several opportunities which were almost converted into goals, the combination of Yamal and William was also very good, they really managed to overwhelm the English defense with their performance the individual they have.

By successfully winning the Euro, Spain has collected four Euro titles and they are the national team with the most Euros, and England still haven't been able to break their fast for 58 years, they haven't managed to win a single title, and this is a very historic night for the young players they have Spain, they did it. carry the name of his country for the best.

This is truly fantastic, I never expected a young Spanish player to show such an extraordinary performance and make the English players unable to develop their game.
Spain really deserves to be champion at Euro 2024.

Some of the teams discussed here would probably exclude Leipzig from the list of candidates for title holders next season. I don't doubt Leipzig, but looking at last season and the player transfers made by the team, it is not convincing enough that Leipzig can surprisingly win the title, beating Munich and Dortmund.
Regarding bringing in Kompany which is still seen as a problem in the coming season, I think that's the wrong idea and actually Munich is not one of the teams that wants to get instant results but this team chose Kompany just to enjoy the process of getting big achievements with a coach who hasn't yet too popular like Xabi.

Leverkusen, who won the bundesliga title for the first time, has so far provided great motivation for most of the teams in the Bundesliga and Munich is one of the teams that is motivated by Leverkusen's results. Give Kompanya a chance and he will prove that he can succeed with Munich.
Let's look at it realistically, Leipzig was built by a team as strong as Bayern or Leverkusen so there is little chance of them winning the title, maybe this team will only match its performance last season to remain in the top 4.

We don't know the reason why Bayern management recruited Kompany as their new coach even though Kompany does not have sufficient achievements or experience, but even so, Kompany cannot be underestimated.
Now we can see several young coaches with a pretty good vision of the game in the modern era of football, so Bayern management has entrusted Kompany with them, perhaps because of that.

After Bayern Muncih dominated the Bundesliga for quite a long time before finally being broken by Leverkusen last season, of course this will raise the motivation of other teams and I see this as very positive for the future progress of the Bundesliga, now the Bundesliga will be even more competitive and there are several teams that have the potential to won the title unlike several seasons ago when only Bayern Munich was the favourite.

Last season Arsenal managed to reach the quarter-finals, where expectations for Arteta's fleet were actually quite good, but in the end they failed at the hands of Bayern who were experiencing setbacks. Madrid, City and Bayern next season will be the main forces in the race for the trophy, and other candidates such as Arsenal are behind them. Arsenal's main priority is the Premier League, even though they are still trying their best in the Champions League, it is quite difficult to appear balanced in every competition.
This season is going to be entirely different from the previous one because Arsenal will put in more work for improvement and also keep close sights on major titles. The UEFA Champions League is not for newbies but for elite clubs that have stand their ground and knows basically what they need. Arsenal tried their best but couldn't coupled up with the outstanding performance of the club. It's been outrageous for Mikel Arteta and Gunners perhaps he's one of the promising coach to lift the burden of the club since the departure of Arsene Wenger.
It's not just Arsenal who will try to improve their performance next season, but all teams will also try to do that, but what you have to realize is that the competition to win the Champions League title is always fierce, all the best European teams will do their best here, but for Arsenal I think they Still won't be a favorite despite Arteta who has built this team to be even better, but Arsenal's mentality is not yet good enough to compete with Europe's top teams.

The current squad in the Liverpool team does not necessarily suit Arne Slot's style of play, so that cannot be a benchmark and indeed Liverpool management should give Arne Slot the freedom to build this team the way he wants.
Arne Slot doesn't have any experience in the Premier League and I think it's normal for many to doubt him in the first season, but in my opinion anything is possible for him so nothing is certain here until we see proof from Arne Slot.

A team as big as Liverpool is of course targeting to win but they will also be realistic, maybe in Arne Slot's first season there will not be too much emphasis on setting high targets.
The target itself must be higher, even if the results are different at the end of the season, we must also be grateful, remembering that Arne Slot is just a new coach who has no experience in a more competitive league like the Premier League. And I think Arne Slot himself is also quite aware of this so he himself will definitely try to make more thorough preparations in facing next season as his first season at Liverpool from now on. Because as bad as a team like Liverpool is, of course they also have to be in the top four of the standings in terms of minimum achievements through their new coach.
Entering the top 4 of the Premier League is not an easy thing.
A team as big as Liverpool will certainly set high targets, regardless of whether they have a new coach, but of course this team has a goal of winning titles in all the competitions they participate in, but we also have to look at this realistically.
Every team that changes coaches is not an easy thing to maintain performance or get better, we have seen several examples in the Premier League such as Manchester United or Chelsea so it is very likely that Liverpool will also do the same.

I personally think that Victor Osimhen, if he really were to land in the Premier League, could really make waves. The Premier League is a very competitive league but the clubs play mainly in attack and it could be the perfect habitat for a goleador like Osimhen. But so far these are just suppositions, we will see if Antonio Conte manages to keep him at Napoli again.
Antonio Conte will uncover more potential for Napoli next season, we're yet to watch the very top performance. Napoli most important player, Victor Osimhen is a prominent player, definitely the eye target for every possible elite club this summer. Although the Nigeria international have his dreams to play for the English Premier League elite club one day, can he actually make his dreams come through or he will probably stick to Napoli?
I don't think so about staying at Napoli, because since last season Victor Osimhen has shown that he no longer feels at home at Napoli.
Now PSG is the team most interested in bringing in Victor Osimhen, so I think PSG is the most likely to be Victor Osimhen's team next season.

We also don't need to overestimate Conte and Napoli next season, I think there is no guarantee that Conte can make Napoli rise next season, it won't be easy.
And regarding Victor Osimhen also not having a significant influence on the Napoli team, there are still many other forward players who can fill his role, so I don't think it's too much to link Victor Osimhen and Napoli's revival next season.

England defense will be tested by the sharpness of Spain front line, previously England managed to get past the obstacles from the Netherlands even though there was controversy over the penalty awarded to England by the referee. The result of the match remains valid and cannot be changed, England qualified for the final after ending the match with a score of 2-1. There are no easy games in the final, both teams will try to show their best game to win the trophy.

Yes, Spain has been the favorite since the start of the tournament, but England cannot be underestimated because they have a number of top stars who are ready to sink the dreams of the Spanish players. Hopefully there will be no more controversy in the final match because this really determines the fate of both teams, the referee must be fair and every decision must be in accordance with what is happening on the field. England has a chance to win the Euros this time, but I favor Spain because their game is very difficult to stop.
The tension of the game in the final will be different, of course nothing is easy in the final match.
Regardless of what happened in the previous match, it is possible that in the final match everything will be different for the performance of both teams.
The English team has a lot of experienced players and has a strong mentality, while the Spanish team has a lot of young players, so I think the English side's mentality is a little better.

Regarding the referees in the field, I don't think it will be excessive, once or twice something that is detrimental but not excessive is normal.
This would be an ideal Euro final this year, and the percentages for both teams are the same and personally I hope England can win the title this year, it would be a shame if not because they have reached the final twice in a row.

If I should judge Kompany based on his career records, he is not a bad coach. At the same time, he is not a good coach, so from my perspective, I view him as an average coach. Honestly, I was surprised that Bayern Munich chose Kompany as head coach because, based on his record, I don't believe he deserves the position he holds at Bayern Munich now. I can't yet conclude on his performance at Bayern Munich, but I don't expect any great performances from the team under Kompany as coach.

I remember how Chelsea made mistakes by signing Lampard as head coach, and nothing good came of it. I just hope the case of Kompany does not turn out like Lampard's tenure at Chelsea. In my view, Bayern Munich might be too big for someone like Kompany to coach. However, he does have a good squad at his disposal, which could help him perform better.
I also believe that Bayern cannot afford to hire coaches with such insignificant experience, but for some reason they decided to do it. This is trust in advance for the Кompany, for him this is a huge chance that can radically change his life if he manages to take advantage of it. My opinion is that this is definitely not the best choice that Bayern could have made, but apparently they want their team to get the same talented coach as Bayer did when they trusted Alonso and achieved tangible success.
There is nothing wrong with Kompany's recruitment to Munich, indeed last season he was less successful in the Premier League but that was not the fault of his strategy but rather a matter of the lack of quality players there, looking at the game strategy he implemented. very good. and he is also a genius at playing with ball control, but is a factor that makes it difficult for players to win.

 Last season Munich also conceded very easily and of course with the presence of their former defender it seems they will definitely focus on defense because if you look at Munich's attack line they are very ready with the star players they have, so I will do that. optimistic that Kompany's lineup can make maximum use of it. the best for Munich, because he sees he has the ability and of course this is an opportunity to make it happen with Munich.

I noticed that there are not a few people who doubt Klopp's ability but we need to know that maybe Arne Slot can lead much better, I also previously too much that comparing Klopp with Arne Slot without us finding a point of results that can be compared fairly, We don't know what Arne Slot will make next season and how the results will be, and also he hasn't been at Liverpool for long, of course adaptation to be able to be free and understand management with the troops takes time, considering that it is impossible to be easily familiar with just one season, Liverpool must be more patient.

For fans they have to accept what has happened, Klopp has left and they should also support Arne slot as a new coach to bring out his best.

I was a bit annoyed and very underwhelmed at first when Slot was announced as the new manager. There’s nothing that can be done now though and we have to get behind him.

Slot did well in Holland so as Liverpool fans we just have to get behind him I have tickets for the first two PL games at Anfield so I will begin the season backing him, fingers crossed he can match or even surpass what Klopp did at Liverpool.
Seeing and revealing how Arne slots, I am optimistic about what he has done with Feyenoord, indeed he has no experience in the Premier League but that cannot be a reference for him and also the team that has history in the Premier League Liverpool, with his style and his strategy is almost the same as that used by Klopp, so of course the players are very familiar with his playing style, so as fans we have to be optimistic about his arrival.

Moreover, Liverpool's first meeting will be against Ipswich, who have just been promoted to the Premier League, so Arne Slot will also use this match to prove that he will give his best with Liverpool, so this victory is eagerly awaited for him to increase his confidence, so I will be optimistic with him next season.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 12, 2024, 02:44:30 AM
You have to consider that one and the other coach took office in the era of teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and many others. The competition in the EPL with such teams, including Liverpool is extremely high and it is much harder to win, so it is likely that Liverpool will not win trophies with the new coach either, but I doubt they will get worse
Liverpool may not be bad next season with their new coach, so this team still has to be an important consideration for other teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal. Because even though it won't be easy to become champions in the Premier League, teams that often make mistakes and can't win in several matches will of course be of better benefit to the other teams. So Manchester City and Arsenal still have to get better if they want to continue competing for the title again next season.
To see Liverpool's performance next season, we need to look at the composition of their players if they still play with the same squad as last season yeah maybe they can still compete in the top 4 the only thing we are worried about is Mo Salah moving to the Saudi Pro League so that means Liverpool have to find a replacement, as we know Mo Salah is one of the mainstay players of course it is not easy to find a replacement for this player. So far we don't know whether Mo Salah will stay at Liverpool or not.
So far there have been no rumors of important players in the Liverpool team leaving, including Mo Salah.
Next season Liverpool will experience difficulties with their new coach, this is very possible because the transition that occurs in a team with a new coach will not be able to maintain performance or make the team better in its first season so I think Liverpool will remain in the top 4 will be quite difficult.
Arne Slot doesn't have the experience to train a big team that competes fiercely like in the Premier League, so I doubt Liverpool next season because of that.

I think Spain will win the cup, as many people think. Spain played very well in all the games, they were only lucky in the Germany game.

England always got this far with last minute goals and penalties.
I think Spain will finish this job in 90 minutes. Spain has very young and talented players.
Spain is almost everyone's focus right now Cheesy... they're the right man for the Job, they've played exceptionally throughout their games in the tournament.... if there aren't any fuckups on the Final then Spain should be able to do it without too much stress. I won't underestimate finals but Spain is gonna perform  better as they will also be putting in their max effort +their previous effrot just like England  so they have upper hand, however if they win then Lamine is bound to break more records.. what a Star
Everyone now focuses on Spain. They have young talents and qualified for the final. Lamine and Nico have gotten lots of attention from many football fans. They got it because of their amazing play. But England has Pickford and he's becoming the heartbreak kids of this tournament.
And Bellingham is ready to lift Euro 2024 trophy in front of spanish kids.  Cheesy
We are not talking about individual players, if you look at it from that perspective, of course there are more good players in the England team, but we are looking at the overall performance of the team, it is clear that Spain has been much better since the group stage, they are the most consistent team.
However, in the final anything is possible to happen, it is also a consideration that no team is overly favored.

Personally, I also hope that England will win, they have entered the final twice in a row, it would be quite a shame if they both lost.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 11, 2024, 01:18:40 PM
Lukaku is not too bad and he still deserves to play in Serie A. Antonio Conte may have his reasons and he has also worked with him before. Yes, bartering might be an ideal option between Napoli and Chelsea, because both teams need the services of both players. Conte also doesn't seem to be too worried if Osimhen chooses to leave because the Italian doesn't want to be trapped by his privileged attitude. I'm sure Conte has prepared a thorough plan and he will first focus on overhauling the defense, because that position was very risky before.
Plans are involved for the growth of the club, Napoli will bounce back to extreme form but it's just a matter of time. Napoli new coach, Antonio Conte will make sufficient usage of his players. He's one of the promising coach that wouldn't settled for lesser scores, will bring on his best. Whereas in the case of Lukaku, he is an important player, he enchanced his ability and will exert more pressure towards the end of the league.
No one doubts Antonio Conte, he is a great coach who has a lot of experience in Serie A, but we also have to look at it realistically that the Napoli team is currently in a slump with all the problems they are facing, it will not be easy for them to recover in the near future .
And now their 2 strikers want to leave the team and then Napoli recruits Lukaku, I think it's not worth it.

If Mbappe's adaptation can be fast enough when he is in several matches at Real Madrid, of course this will be quite beneficial for Real Madrid. Because so far Real Madrid has been lacking strength on the front lines even though it has successfully won the La Liga trophy and also the Champions League last season and for next season there is also the possibility for Real Madrid to win these two trophies again with a number of good players who are still is in their squad even though Toni Kroos will also end his career this year.
I think don't overdo it, Real Madrid already has a capable squad in all areas. Their success in winning the Champions League and La Liga last season is clear evidence and Mbappe's presence will really help Real Madrid's front line because Mbappe's quality is quite good but not Immediately the team will depend on Mbappe.
Regardless of how fast or slow Mbappe adapts to the team, I think Real Madrid can still maintain the stability of its performance.

And regarding defending the title they won last season, I don't think it will be easy, maybe for La Liga it is still possible but not for the Champions League.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 11, 2024, 12:38:13 PM
Hopefully the steps taken by Bayern Munich are not on the wrong track by considering that Bayern Munich's style of play is not much different from Burnley's style of play when coached by Kompany. Because there will definitely be differences and Kompany must be able to handle a team as big as Bayern Munich to become champion because the team is still considered a Bundesliga giant next season. But it will be very painful for Bayern Munich if they cannot win the Bundesliga next season because the toughest rivals for Bayern Munich next season will still be between Leverkusen and Dortmund.
Burnley cannot be compared to Bayern Munich, they are very different.
Bayern's management recruited Kompany not because he was successful with Burnley, but there was something that was not known and quite a lot of people were surprised by the decision taken by Bayern Muncih's management.
Many people are pessimistic, and that's normal, but we'll just have to wait and see what Kompany will do with Bayern Munich, and of course I'm sure it will be different from him being Burnley coach because the squad is a different team.

The Bundesliga competition is currently quite fierce, and that is a burden or challenge in itself for Kompany, he must be able to make Bayern's performance rise in its first season, this is really a job that will be quite difficult and Kompany is betting on whether his coaching career will now be successful or not.

It is unlikely that Klopp managed to build such a team with a limited budget, they spent a lot of money, but at some point when the team was formed they only bought or sold several players, so in recent seasons their have been spent in the transfer market were less, than that of Arsenal, which was just forming the team with the arrival of Arteta. By the way, City are also not spending a lot of money on the transfer market now, but initially their spending was very large.

Yes, the Klopp did a very great job in Liverpool, but he was also not an ideal coach, he had good seasons and there were times when the team was going through hard times, but he was constantly with the team, and Klopp is definitely associated with Liverpool, it’s hard to imagine him in to another team.
A team that already has or has found its best performance will of course not need many more changes so that it spends a lot of money in the transfer market, in contrast to a team that has not yet found its best performance or is currently developing, they will spend a lot of money in the transfer market and that is normal. Previously Liverpool and Manchester City also spent quite a lot of money in the transfer market.

Klopp built Liverpool from the moment he arrived, there is a character attached to the team with Klopp, I see it as similar to Man United and previous coach Alex Ferguson.
So Klopp's departure will of course create something missing in the Liverpool team that will be difficult to find again.

Goal says Barcelona has already reached agreement in principle for Nico Williams. This is wonderful news for Barcelona fans undoubtedly.  Grin

Barcelona only needs to pay for his release clause after agreeing terms verbally with the player. The clause is worth 58 million euros though. Does Barcelona have enough money to pay that sum?

I hope they do because Nico Williams would absolutely be a game changer for them. If they don't they had better sell some players which is worth for Nico. This is the only way Barcelona can compete harder against Real Madrid, by signing solid names.  Smiley
I think Nico Williams is still 21 years old and priced at 58 million euros, which is quite expensive and with the financial problems that Barcelona is currently experiencing, it is very likely that some of their players will be sold.

Actually Barcelona could get a lot of money if they sold some of their potential young players but that is not good for the team for the future, so this is a big dilemma for Barcelona.
It's difficult to build a team without having strong finances, especially as their rival Real Madrid is now growing fast enough that Barcelona is required to be able to keep up.

Nico Williams and Yamal showed quite good performances during the Euro event with Spain, if they were partnered again in the Barcelona team, it is quite possible for these two young players to improve the performance of the Barcelona team.

In the end England won again.
It is still a miracle they are in the tournament.
Scoring goal in extra time, penalties and goal again in final minute.

Spain is much a better looking team but everything is going in favor of England so far.

On the paper it should be a win for Spain but at this point...
Not playing well since the start of the tournament but finally they made it to the final, it was a big surprise.
But in the semifinal match against the Netherlands we have to admit that there was an improvement in the performance of the English National team, they played much better with a very well organized game scheme so they deserved to win the match.

For the final match against Spain, I doubt that England will surprise again.
Spain has been the most consistent team since the group stage, so I think it is very likely that Spain will be able to win the final match.
