When money speaks then anything can happen.
Isak is one of the pretty good young players that Sociedad has now and indeed when the money comes and if he wants to experience a different sensation in La Liga then indeed Newcastle is a pretty good choice.
Currently Newcastle really want to be better than before and it is not impossible that their position will be even better.

Glad that Newcastle are thinking the right way but I still don't get one thing- They already have enough strikers. There is Wilson and they brought in Wood in last transfer window and now Isak? I really don't get what they are thinking buying off strikers on and on. Better to just buy the right one and get on with it.
They will probably make another competition there but it is very likely that Isak will also fill in the winger and Almiron will have to compete here.
Apart from that, Isak's arrival will also be very good if he can play well.
I think it's still a pretty good thing despite the number of strikers there are but it will be a good thing for them in the current season.

I still remember this incident happened last season when Real Madrid beat PSG in the Champions League. PSG lost concentration and they conceded in the last few minutes of the game which sent the game into extra time. Obviously it hurts a lot for any team, so every team has to stay focused on keeping their concentration especially on defense towards the end of the game if they want to come out with a win.

Frankfurt's bad start this season with 2 defeats and 1 draw in the last 3 matches makes me really doubt how they can compete in the champions league this season. They have never been good in domestic competition, they are weak but something different they can do in European competition. That's the funny thing about Frankfurt.
Well when we said last season maybe Madrid was one of the specialists there because it wasn't only PSG who were victims but City and Chelsea also felt the same way at the last minute.
Dortmund's current case is probably the same, they clearly have a bit of a sense of stalling and loosening up guard which comes at a price here.
In Werder's first and second Goals we can even see there are at least 6 to 7 dortmund players in the penalty box but they are focused on the ball not on the players so the Werder players are so free to make goals. For the third goal, 2 of their players were unable to withstand the assist and a duel with Burke, which was only 1 person there.

Apart from that all this can also be a pretty important lesson for Qatar if they are serious about football.
They are now a club that is not seeded in anything other than the advantage of their hosts, but in this case that doesn't mean they can't play but their quality is still below the average team competing in the current world cup.
Apart from this World Cup recently Qatar is doing good job for development of soccer because here government and few other soccer lovers invested good amount in clubs even few months back Xavi was also doing his duty as coach in a club with this you can imagine how they are serious and what they can do, but it's not easy job for any country it's going to take some time, and then they can do much better than current quality level.

Few other Middle East countries are also investing good amount for development of soccer like Saudi Arab and UAE which is good hopefully in next 10 to 15 years we can watch much improved these Asian teams specially from the Middle East could be neck to neck with Korea and Japan in quality because they can achieve these targets.
It's a good start as they plan this for the next few years but when it comes to the world cup it's clear it will only be a lesson for them that they still have to keep improving their squad because this is still lacking when it comes to world level.
For the Asian level, maybe this is very good because with them now of course they can still compete with big powers like Japan, Korea and Australia.

The new money clan of the English premier league aren't playing around, they're already playing some great football but these additional signings will make them even stronger. Isak is a fantastic young player, he's been very important for Real Sociedad in the last few years and could become vital part of Newcastle project too, pairing him upfront highly in form Allan Saint-Maximin would be scary for any defense line tbh.

We've got some updates. Manchester United board is convinced by Erik ten Hag that they should spend more on Frenkie De Jong. What's the point of having someone who doesn't want to join? Although Barcelona never rejected the deal, the player is unwilling to leave the club. Is it possible that an improvement proposal might make him reconsider?

Firstly, to what extent De Jong does not want to leave is not known, but it is known for sure that he does not want to leave without the money that Barcelona already owes him. If Barcelona had paid him everything honestly, then perhaps he would have left. Secondly, the press wrote that De Jong's girlfriend was against moving to England and wanted to stay in Spain. How important this factor is is difficult to judge.
Agree with what you say, because regardless of what he thinks we don't know but indeed the main reason he is still at Barcelona despite the threats is because his salary is still not there.
It will be a different story it seems when the rights he has (in this case salary) are finished at Barcelona I think he left a long time ago but Barcelona want him to leave on the other hand they don't want to lose in terms of salary.

We don't know how hard is their workout. For now I don't think Qatar to be below average, being the host it'll try the best to stay active on the tournament. Lets see, the first match of Qatar will give the answer.
In terms of quality, obviously they are very good for their current zone but I still feel when compared to the European or American zones it is clear they are still less competitive.
But indeed in this case it might be better to wait for how they match.

Have anyone heard of the FIFA banned All India Football Federation. India have tried to make AIFF same as BCCI and the World Body have banned the organisation indicating the involvement of third party.
I also heard about this a few days ago but I did not read further about it because for sure as you said India has violated Articles 13 and 17 of the FIFA Statute which says about no intervention from other parties in any form of decision making except the local government and India violates it then sanctions are definitely there. Currently, it is just a matter of waiting for India to address this as the sanctions will be lifted when the third party intervention against AIFF can be overcome.

Difficult financial faced by Barcelona right now after still not registering with new recruitment like Jules Koundé I think could be priority for Barcelona selling Aubameyang to Chelsea, I think £15 million could be expensive transfer values and Barcelona not make Aubameyang as regular player position on attacking line. Trough still need to cut off several percent salary accepted by senior player I think better selling Aubameyang and make better condition with all Barcelona player. Left few days before window transfer close and Barcelona still have chance negotiating with Chelsea to give best offer values for Aubameyang. I think Chelsea urgent looking for with central forward and will pay higher price offering by Barcelona.
I think the idea of selling Aubameyang to raise funds isn't a bad idea after all. Barcelona need finance to register their new players and pay wages of their players so it's better to sell Aubameyang and raise profit to settle the club's expenses after all they have other good options in that position. With few days left I hope they can agree on a fee with Chelsea and get the deal done before the transfer window closes.
This is indeed still a good thing but until now there is still no opinion whatsoever from their top brass, on the other hand as usual Barcelona always seems to feel they have to keep all their players even with their current condition.
The option of selling is what they have to do but this could lead them to make this a new drama as they did with De Jong before.

Almost all of the favorite teams did not start the season well. This time Manchester City became a team that had to give up the 3 points that should have been seen from their strength, they would have got it. Even though they took the lead quickly, they were so caught off guard that Newcastle could turn things around even with their 3 goals. Luckily they could equalize, so they got a draw in the end.
This is the English Premier League with all the surprises in it.
If you look at the actual quality this is a good thing for City but in this case we also can't underestimate Newcastle because indeed they are now doing well and are making a talented team with a lot of money in it.
Actually this result is a bit surprising but indeed this can be a lesson that no matter how strong a team from their individual level can be about winning in this league.

It was the first time Qatar had the opportunity to open this match for the first time, but I think it's a natural thing when a football match is played somewhere for sure the first match is against the hosts and so on will be followed by other clubs. I think Qatar already knows this and accepts it whether it's a win or a loss. His biggest hope is to get a win and advance to the next round.
Apart from that all this can also be a pretty important lesson for Qatar if they are serious about football.

The match looked like one-sided because throughout the match Spezia was forced to hold on continuously in this match, although in terms of ball possession Spezia could balance but in terms of chances they lost far.
3-0 seems Inter are quite confident but on the other hand this must be maintained so that they are not like last season when they were at the top they always struggled and eventually came back down.
Spezia made an attempt as well, but Inter were too strong to take the three points; the way they dominated the game clearly demonstrated that they are also well prepared for this season. They are now at the top of the table before the other teams play their matches, and the league will be very difficult because no one wants to lose a match.
Spezia's efforts in this match only continued to survive the onslaught of Inter during the 90 minutes they played because indeed even in that 90 minutes there were only 2 Shots they created and even that did not harm Handanovic.
They continue to be forced into their own defensive area and of course it is a one-sided thing because regardless of what Inter's quality is much better.
1871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 20, 2022, 09:03:42 PM
By the way, another interesting game is Inter v Spezia. There have been 8 games in total in the history of the encounter between these teams, 7 of which were won by Inter and one draw. However, in five of the games, Spezia have managed to score a goal. I think it could happen again today, because Inter had an unconvincing first game against Lecce.

Also Roma is having an easy match at home against Cremonese so we should espect them to be 2/2 in first two matches.
I don't think it will be an easy match. Although Cremonese missed points in the first match, but they already made Fiorentina got difficult winning. Fiorentina was lucky to have Rolando's goal in minute 90+5'. On the other hand, AS Roma only won with 1 goal only in their first match. The interesting fact is that no AS Roma stickers were able to make a goal in that match.


I think things like this can be minimized.
Mourinho knows what he has to do with his current squad especially when they know they are struggling with cave productivity.
This will be another win for Roma from any point of view and even I still feel a difference of 2 goals or even more can be presented in this match.

The opening ceremony is always a pretty good thing for every world cup performance and this is always awaited. Now that we can see how beautiful and unique it is when we are in Qatar, obviously with their wealth I don't think I will mess with this.
As for the match, maybe this will be a difficult thing because Qatar is one of the weakest, especially there they also have the AFCON Champion who can be the underdog for a big team and the Netherlands which is still one of the candidates for the current championship.

I don't know why you guys are underestimating Qatar national team, they have developed very well in the past years. They are the winners of the last Asian Cup where they knocked out South Korea and Japan, and defeated Saudi Arabia in the groups round. I watched all their matches, they showed high quality performance and great commitment in the field. I know Wold Cup is very different competition because they will face teams from other continents with different playing styles, and Asian teams were always the weakest, yet I believe Qatar may do something.
By not reducing respect for Qatar, we are actually speaking not to underestimate but we also see from the condition of the game and the team that is in the group with Qatar now.
Believe it or not now Qatar even though they have developed but if you look at the team that is in the same group with them it is clear they are at the bottom in terms of quality because indeed the opponents they will face are the Netherlands with a very good performance for now, Ecuador with the dark horse title in the Americas and Senegal zones who incidentally are the recent AFCON champions.

Tottenham weren't having a good day against Chelsea indeed last week. But they still succeeded in stealing a point thanks to Kane's header. Their having problems was normal actually because Chelsea had good results against them recently. However I think Conte would like to destroy Wolves and make their fans happy this week. I don't see Wolves as a big obstacle in front of them.

I don't think Wolves are a tough opponent for Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves have never won a Premier League game this season. On paper of course Tottenham Hotspur are favored. There is no doubt that I think Tottenham will win this game.
Last season Wolves were one of the troublesome clubs for some of the big clubs in the EPL but with Tottenham's current condition and with Wolves' performance in their two games actually it still provides a very big chance for Tottenham.
I think by playing at home and with the condition of the players who can be said to be fit there are no more obstacles for Tottenham which makes this a win for them.

In principle, please share then in another way, and in what other way can you rebuild the team? In any case, the head coach spent the pre-season part with the team, and a really real game can only be played in real conditions in the form of official matches. The most important thing is for Ten Hag to be an authoritative person for his players so that players take him seriously and implement his ideas, and such things are formed only over time and it is not at all a fact that this will necessarily happen. In any case, the team needs successful games with strong opponents and the match with Liverpool may well be the beginning of a new successful series.
Actually in this case we can't completely blame Ten Hag because, as you said, he is a new coach and pre-season is only a benchmark for him to navigate the current season.
Indeed, this is a little difficult for Him because indeed this task is quite heavy in my opinion, to improve the performance of those who are in a slump, it is clearly quite a difficult job to do.
It looks like we can't really expect much for this season but still can if Ten Hag and the players can start to focus on making improvements there.
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 18, 2022, 11:49:36 PM
At the moment Milan are still the favorites but indeed I also feel a draw is the biggest possibility for now.
But if one team wins now, it will most likely be a narrow win for one of the teams because I also feel pretty sure Atalanta will focus this season and want to return the Underdog title to them after last season was quite a failure because they were thrown away from the competition top 5 position.
The Milan and Inter derbies are classics to look forward to.  but this time both teams have added new ammunition.  But this season I prefer Inter Milan.
Is this just to make your post grow lol
At least you should also read for it, It's true that Inter and Milan are Derby but the context at the moment we are talking about Atalanta and Milan. Inter are not yet a part of this as they will face Spezia in the game later and the derby is still quite a long way to go.
Because if you look at the schedule, it's still next month and there are still 3 matches they have to go through before they meet.

The opening ceremony is probably going to be spectacular, the crowds are going to be there supporting their local team, but honestly, I don't think Qatar has any chances of winning against Ecuador.

In my mind the best result they can get would be a draw, probably 0 - 0.

The thing is Manchester United are in a transitioning phase, where they will spend more on wages to attract players till they go back to the top club level they once were and players are willing to join them and play for them. Besides Casemiro has won everything at Real Madrid, he is an absolute legend and achieved everything that's possible so now I think it's time for a new challenge. He’s 30 years old and at the final phase of his playing career where he can only get his last big contract. He needs to utilize the opportunity.

I don't understand why they haven't done it before, Manchester United, as I understand it, is one of the richest teams in Europe.
If they want the champions they have to do like PSG and put their hand to their wallet. Otherwise they don't attract anyone at all.

They did that by bringing some expensive players there but it was a waste for United because their expensive players couldn't contribute well.
Look at the expensive labels there like Maguire who costs over 80 million pounds but performs below average and is the subject of ridicule, Anthony Martial is priced at 45 million but only on the bench and on loan, Fred 47 million euros and his form is still there. the same as Maguire although a little better and lastly maybe Pogba who is at an expensive price of almost 100 million but can't lift the team's performance.
They spend a lot of money here but still they fail because of the wrong purchases.

Perhaps the stark difference can be seen from their movement on transfers and their pre-season performance now. Actually, even though I really like Real Madrid, it felt like it was too easy last season and it's not complete when La Liga doesn't have competition between Atletico, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for the title at the end of the season.
Oh yes, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lost too much in the first part of the championship last season to then compete seriously with Real Madrid at the finish. Let's hope that this season both clubs will not make this mistake and will fight for the title of champion until the very end. It is difficult to draw conclusions only from the first round and therefore you should not take the loss of points by Barcelona too seriously. Everything will more or less begin to appear after at least 10 rounds. Moreover, transfers are still possible, take the situation with de Jong, whose prospects in Barcelona are still vague given the plans of the club's management.
Last season at the beginning of the season they were actually quite good but a storm of injuries hit them which made them a little stranded there.
As for Barcelona, the loss of Messi was their heaviest scourge and Koeman's mistakes made all of this a little chaotic and this coupled with their uncontrolled financial condition.
Now Atletico's condition is better, on the other hand, although Barcelona is still experiencing financial problems, it is still quite good with the arrival of several star players there. Hopefully the salary issue for Barcelona players does not appear in the middle of this season so that the stability of their performance is maintained.

I guess it is not going to be easy to determine how things will happen in la liga this year because everyone and everything looks a bit different. I mean not just teams but the "vibe" is different. Last year it was Reals league and everyone was bad, this year everyone looks angry to get back to the top.

Barcelona missed the title days and sold all they could to build a team, ATM was champions a year ago and wants to get one before losing it too early, and that is how we are going to do it. Personally I believe that Barcelona still has a better chance, but that doesn't mean that other teams do not , Real still looks like favorites according to most oddmakers.
