The core of Chelsea team is still intact except the departure of Rugider to Real Madrid other players are fringe players who Tuchel feels are not needed in his plan for next season, Lukaku had not live up to expectation and very inconsistent in his performance, Ziyech had not been a regular first team player, Werner has been wasteful in front of goal despite given enough playing time. Chelsea needed few more signings a good defender to replace Rudiger and a new striker, the team midfielders is enough have quality players like Kanye, Mount, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovavic etc. With the amount of games played each season in different leagues, main players will get exhausted, there will be injuries... You cannot count only on them to maintain good results all over the season. Ziyech for example played like half games, Werner wasn't that useful. Lukaku performance was way under his ordinary level. There will be a destabilisation of the team with these changes but what counts more is to see new signing that will turn to be useful next. Will it be the case? We will see. The departure of Rudiger to Real Madrid is still a pain to the Chelsea fans and board as his great efforts to the defense line will be missed, Romelu Lukaku's performance and inability to do what's expected of him is appalling. Werner on the other hand has also been a failure to the team making their front line terrible as most of their goals are scored by their midfielders and defenders, getting new players especially strikers would help improve the team's front line as rumour has it that Ousman Dembele is on his way coming, every chelsea fan would be on their kneels to see this deal sealed off and also more strikers and a replacement for Rudiger as the fans can't complain of the midfield, not when Kante Joginho Kovavic etc are in charge of the midfield. |

he also asks me the same question many times, because borrussia never invests in good players in order to win the bundesliga, this last season for example, they were fine and could have taken advantage of the fact that bayern was losing a lot of points something that is unusual And I doubt it will happen in the next season.
Dortmund is good with discovery of young players and investment into youth players. They sell those players when they shine enough and become hot enough on transfer market. You are right that Dortmund did not invest into star players to win titles. It restrains Dortmund to win against Bayern because difference between them on transfer market, player salary and player quality in general is very big. bayern may not have lewandosk but they always manage to have good players, it has always been like that for years and thanks to the fact that they always get good players and they are always fields. the point is until when will all other teams settle for being second, third place?
Bayern manage to have best players in Bundesliga but sometimes they fail to convince best players to join the club. Or just lately with Haaland case, they admitted that they can not spend too much budget for this player, even they know the value of Haaland. Without Lewandowski, Bayern will still be strong enough to protect their championship in Bundesliga. It will be a little bit more difficult for them but they can do it. Finding a replacement for lewandowski won't be that easy, cause he is a world-class striker, a striker that knows how to position himself against his opponent, and also knows how to control the ball against his opponent. He's really a good player, a well commited player, his impact in the team (Bayern) can't be easily replace. Though Bayern still have good players that can help the team defend their title, but It won't be that easy for them without lewandowski. |

Croatia won, while France drew. Looks like I will completely avoid betting for France from now on. They only got 2 points from the last 3 match, it hurts. For tomorrow, Italy vs England. It will be a match that is expected to be entertaining even without any bets. I want to see England do well tomorrow, that is hope.
Wise Choice  Don't know why in this case especially in the first 3 games they played it seemed like Deschamps was trying some strategies and some of the players were there. because in the last 3 matches their scheme sometimes changes and in terms of players there is also a lot of rotation. Don't know if it's just a trial for the world cup or if they're not ready yet. [/quote I really agree with you, recently France are really loosing consistency in winning games, I don't understand what is happening, getting 2 point in three games is a low profile for them. There performance in UEFA nation league this summer is not encouraging, I think they really needs to work on their performance and try to gain more confidence in their game play, cause people are really loosing confidence in them, they really need to act fast before they will be eliminated out of the nation league. |

Tottenham Hotspur lost its connection with the top in England a while ago. They made it to the Champions League final once, but that was about it. They will not become champions for the next 10 years. It used to be a strong team, but the competition has become stronger. Chelsea and City have spent a lot of money and have become so strong because of it. What surprises me this weekend is that a top striker like Kane still wants to continue playing with the Spurs, while he also wants to pursue his sporting goals? For example, winning the CL.
When you talk about football, I believe Harry Kane is more experience about it than you, so I think Harry Kane believe in the vision of Antonio Conte, he sees Tottenham Hotspur very well because he is there boy, and last season he wanted to leave before the arrival of Conte for him to decide to stay is because he has see that he can achieve that dream at Tottenham Hotspur, if you start counting the league table from when Conte came then Tottenham would have been second on the table, before Conte arrive you can't bet that Tottenham will go to champions League but here they are, when you consider what Ivan perisic and the new arrivals Conte has put on the wishlist then you will be optimistic about the season just like Kane. Kane is a spectacular player, his kindness and love towards Tottenham is so strong. Kane is a outstanding attacker, he is one of the best attacker I have ever witness playing in the premier league. He is a very good and consistent player, he has created alot of impact in the team and alot of contribution to the team recent sucess. Also all thanks to their new manager Antonio Conte, his contribution and impact towards the team is so unique. Since his arrival we all can see a very big change in the Tottenham team, he is a very good coach, a rare gem. He is always known for his good management and impact in any team he found himself. |

It will be a biggest challenge in career of Lewandowski to adapt to Barcelona game style. He is a very classic central forward or striker and he has played like this many years. Now in very last years of his career, he has to change and adapt to a new game style. It's certainly a big issue for him.
Indeed. He will face a big challenge to adapt to Barcelona game style. But since Lewandowski is already 33 years old, he shouldn't think to take that big challenge. It may ruin his career and it is actually not a proper time to take on a big challenge. He must think more realistically to consider moving to Real Madrid. He also will have a challenge in Real Madrid, but it seems not as big as in Barcelona. If he is eager to play in the Spanish league (EPL), he is better to move to Real Madrid. I don't think Barcelona really need lewandowski right now, cause of their recent financial problem. I don't think Barcelona can offer lewandowski a huge amount of salary, though he is a world-class striker but bringing him to Barcelona is not necessary at the moment, he is 33 now and he is getting weaker. Playing in Barcelona will be a big challenge for lewandowski currently, cause he can't easily adapt to their kind of play. Barcelona is a team struggling to get back to form after many setback, they really need young players that can help the teams not age players like lewandowski. |

Barcelona will have to cut their budget if they want to do well next season without getting further into financial problems. The sale of Frenkie de Jong would help financially, but I think you will miss it in the competition.
This is what they have to do. This is part of the story and reason why they let Messi leaves the club. With this drawback in finance, it is not reasonable for them to sign contracts with new star players and give them too high salary. This is reason why I think they wont offer high salary for Lewandowski and they will fail to convince him to join Barcelona. Another reason is Lewandowski might have more interest in other clubs that have better tactic for his style. Xavi has indicated that De Jong is a valuable player, but he has no problem letting him go. Barcelona also has a number of talented youth players at the moment, who could also just be good to compete for the championship.
De Jong is a good player from Ajax to Netherlands national team. But for some reasons, he has never shown his best in Barcelona. The club has been in trouble and in decreasing performance last few seasons. De Jong is only one piece of Barcelona squad and he can not play as best as he could while all the squad is not in its best. |

Portugal and Spain both showed a good performance and got deserved wins at the end. Spain had some difficulties in the second half and this might have caused them to lose points too. Switzerland couldn't benefit from the chances they found in this half properly. Portugal were very advantageous in the first half already and they didn't give much chance to their opponent. I really liked Bernardo Silva in this game as he made two assists. Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.
I knew Spain and Portugal are going to win their match, cause they have alot of experience and quality players, and their opponent are not as strong as they are. Portugal victory against Czech Republic wasn't a surprise for me, cause their recent squad is more stronger than before. They were the favorite team to win the game, all thanks to them they delivered. I was so happy about their victory cause I really benefitted from it. |

Actually, I still feel that this offer is still too small for a player of Mane's class because I think this player is definitely much bigger in terms of price if you look at the performance given.
But it looks like Liverpool will obviously be thinking about this because instead of losing Mane for free they are better off selling him now because the option to extend the contract is now out of the question. Liverpool want a higher price for Mane, of course it will be comparable to his quality. I think Bayern Munich will be hesitant to offer Liverpool more for Mane because he will be over 30 next season and he will risk a drop in form. Liverpool will also not be able to keep Mane much longer because of his age, so there is a possibility that Mane will be released with a slightly higher offer than the current Bayern Munich offer. Even so, 25 million euros is a very low price, but it looks like there will be a deal soon considering Bayern have raised 35 million euros now. Indeed, in this case Liverpool will certainly still hold on, but if they don't want to lose for free of course they will only be able to drag it out until the end of the market and push it there. In the end sooner or later it looks like Mane will indeed go to Bayern. With mane quality he is supposed to be worth more than 25 million euros, he has a great impact in any club he is playing for, he has more advantage as a player. He is so strong, brave and sharp and also a good goal scorer every team will want to have him as their player. Considering his age, he plays more than his age he is a very good player, bringing him to Bayern Munich will make the team attack much stronger and dangerous. |

Spain against Switzerland is the best match today, I think. It starts in less than 10 minutes. The Swiss trio in the offensiv: Shaqiri, Embolo & Zuber. They will definitely score at least 1 goal today. The first two games were a disaster and they lost one 0:4 against Portugal, this will be their last chance against Spain. But Spain started almost bad, it will be a hard fight today.
Really good match today between two amazing teams but Spain is an apsolute favorite in this duel plus they have a good advantage because they are playing at home so they have a bigger chance of winning. Also im expecting lots of goals between them Yeah it's a good match, I think Spain is the favorite country to win the game. Perhaps, Switzerland are good when it comes to football, but not as strong as Spain. Spain has quality and well experience players, that can boost the team attack and defends, Spain have more advantage of winning the match, and more than two goals is expected from them. |

Like watching an unbalanced match Belgium dominates from all sides while Poland only made 1 goal with 1 shot on target Poland can't do anything 6 goals were scored in 2 matches in 2 days by Turkey yesterday vs Lithuania which could be understood but Belgium trashing Poland that way was kinda humiliating.. Poland were leading most of the first half then in the second half 5 goals were scored by Belgium. It is a score in FIFA or PES game rather than a real one if I didn't see it happening  It was quite a shock to see that Poland could lose woefully. I was expecting a fight as it seemed they had the first goal. Unfortunately, Belgium came prepared for them since their previous games, Poland have been holding the cards. Good job to them tho.

Am not shock about Belgium beating Poland in such a way, we all know Belgium is a good country that have quality players when it comes to football. So I think their 6:1 victory over Poland, was a way of retaliating for their defeat against Netherland. When next they face Netherland it won't be a easy game, cause of their recent performance. |

Richarlison tells Everton he wants to LEAVE and will snub Arsenal for £65m transfer to Chelsea, PSG or Real Madrid Ken Lawrence. Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18826882/richarlison-everton-transfer-chelsea-psg-real-madrid-not-arsenalWhat do you guys think of this, will Richarlison be an addition to the Chelsea attacking lineup if Chelsea was to get him to sign a contract. Personally I love the his spirit and style of play and obviously think he'll be a force to reckon with next season if he was to be in the blue shirt. Currently we only have Mount that can force attack, imagine having both Mount and Richarlison attacking from the front. Richarlison is sorry as he has already charged his agancy. Since Chelsea is looking to strengthen their attack, this mightn't be a bad deal. Arsenal are still keen on signing Gabriel Jesus but I doubt he'll choice Arsenal over Chelsea if that rumor of a bid from chelsea was to be true. Chelsea has champions league football which Arsenal don't, I doubt anybody will turn down a champion league team over an Europa and considering you're likely to win other trophy at Chelsea than Arsenal. Yeah bringing in a player like Richarlison to Chelsea will be a good addition. Though Chelsea has some good wingers but their recent performance is not encouraging, there attacking force is really dropping so I think a player like Richarlison will help strengthen the team attack, his style of play is really encouraging he is good with the ball and also a good goal scorer. So with his style of play, there is no doubt he will be a good addition to the team. |

Normally I would say that I would like to see Gabriel Jesus playing for a team that have qualified for the Champions League. I don't see any team that meet these criteria making an offer for him for now. In this case Arsenal have a really nice opportunity to sign him. If I were in their place, I would be more quick to sign him. Because he can be followed by more teams as time goes on and this can make things more difficult for Arsenal. I'm curious about the transfer fee for him too. Arsenal might have to pay a lot of money for him.
Yeah I agree with you, I think bringing in a player like Gabriel Jesus is a good addition to the team, he is a quality and talented player with alot of experience, his performance last season with Manchester city was a good one, he is a incredible player and a goal scorer. And looking at Arsenal team right now, I think they really need a player like Gabriel Jesus to help strengthen the team attack. |

Both Messi and Ronaldo countries don't have the best team on paper in this world cup. This is likely their last worldcup but these legends might still want to have few games with their national side after the world cup. In terms of an identity, cohesion and commitment, the Argentina team seems to be slightly better than that of Portugal and hopefully it will be a great worldcup for Messi. I supported the Argentine national team when Batistuta played there and then for some time due to inertia, but now I will wish that this team did not go far in the upcoming tournament. I'm a little tired of the hysteria that is inflated around Messi and the last event (Argentina - Italy) reminded me very well of this. Argentina won and again from every iron I heard about Messi's genius. Please, I've had enough  I'm even beginning to think that Messi purposefully preserve himself for this world cup because I didn't see him have that usual great performance from him this season in PSG even with Mbape and Neymar by his side. I believe he reserved strength and he's going to show spectacular performance in this very world, which this might be his last world cup to play because both him and Ronaldo got no time by their side amore. For C.Ronaldo I think he might find it difficult to shine , looking at he's performance this season and this last game they played, Ronaldo now lost in games. With the look of things now, I don't think Messi or Ronaldo will end themselves a world cup, cause alot of countries are well prepared for this. And we all know this might be their last appearance in world cup, and these is the only thing they are lacking as a player. Though Messi side Argentina are performing better recently but I don't think that might hand them the world cup when we have some nation's like Belgium, France, Germany, Brazil and England. I think the world cup won't be a easy fight this year, so these players needs to be in their best performance knowing fully well is their last world cup. |

The people of Senegal are the one behind Mane move to bayern because according to them, Liverpool has been prioritising Mo Salah Over Sadio Mane. They think that Liverpool didn't offer Mane good financial terms as compared to Salah. Liverpool, it's players and the crowd didn't congratulate Mane passionately on winning ACN because of Salah. Hopefully he won't regret the move
The people of Senegal didn't force him to leave the club, he requested a poll vote and the people voted. Sadio Mane is not happy at Liverpool if he was he wouldn't have come online to say those things. It's true Liverpool have put Mo Salah before Mane, both of them are incredible talents and play well together. It is unfortunate that the issues Mane has with Liverpool cannot be resolved . I think salah and mane was a good combination in Liverpool team, they are one of the best duo have seen in EPL history, and their pattern of play is spectacular. So I think there two deserves same appreciation from the fan and club the both players plays a vital role in Liverpool team, and they are behind the recent sucess of Liverpool, so I think they need to be appreciated equally. Though I don't think that's the reason mane might be living Liverpool, he is a good player and he may like to test himself In a different team. Bayern is a good option for a player like mane, cause he is a quality player who deserve a quality team like Bayern, and playing alongside coman and sane will be a good combination, they Will be known as one of the best duo in the history of football like Messi, Neymar and Suarez in Barcelona. |

Some people call it a glorified friendly but I see some level of competitiveness in it...it's been a fun having the nations League back...interesting games were played and we saw how the likes of France and England were exposed to weaker teams,, at the end a trophy is given which quality's it as a competition,,the positive thing teams and coaches will take from this nations League apart from the trophy is the experimenting of their various plans and integrating new players into the team,, handing them debute so as to keep them match fit for the major tournaments like the world cup etc,, France ,, England and Belgium are teams that lost and will go back and look at what went wrong in order to gain momentum towards the world cup .
The problem with most of this nation is that they have alot of quality players but they are lacking the perfect positioning. A nation like England have alot of quality players that can win them alot of trophy, but I think they are lacking the perfect positioning, and they are confused on how to use them cause they don't have a standard first eleven team. You see them changing players in different matches. So I think if nation's like England, Belgium France Germany and Brazil can make use of their players perfectly, they stand a chance of winning alot of trophies. |

I heard rumors that lingard is being targeted by jose mourinho!!
with the current free transfer status, I think it's a pretty good opportunity to try to sign lingard, even though at MU his performance is stagnant and he is not young anymore but there is a high possibility that he will play well in roma.
Jesse Lingard might be a good transfer for Roma maybe who knows. He has never been good with Manchester United so far and he has reached the age of 29 now. He was loaned to West Ham in the 2020/21 season and his performance was really mesmerizing then. He had 9 goals and 5 assists in 16 games. I think that this is a good proof that he would play really effectively in a different team. As Roma would like to play bigger in the league next season, he might be a solid addition to the team. Yeah I think bringing in a player like Jesse lingard to the team will be a good addition to the team, and will help strengthen the team. Though his performance last season in Manchester united wasn't ok, but I think the problem is because he doesn't have enough playing time in Manchester united. Take a look at his performance in west Ham, he played so different and was very outstanding throughout his stay at the club. So a move to Roma will be a good choice to me cause he will have enough playing time. |

Chelsea are a closed book now when it comes to their transfer activity in this summer. They already started in a negative way as they lost
Chelsea are having lot of problems. Its not only Rudiger but also Christensen and Alonso on the list to leave Chelsea. Chelsea should have proceeded with contract extensions earlier as other clubs were fast enough to talk to them and convince them to join them. Azpilicueta was also out of contract and clubs were also after him but he choose to continue at Chelsea. Even if Kounde joins, they will still need few more defenders in their defence line. Chelsea FC really need to let some players leave the team to have room for other players to come in, in order to strengthen the team, Azpilicueta, Christensen and Alonso need go , but I would like to see Georgino stay and Rudiger as well because they still have more to offer the club. I don't really like the performance of the team towards the end of the season due to most players was over used I think letting goals of some players will be a best option for the blues, cause their performance towards the end of the season wasn't encouraging, they lost and draw alot of matches and also conceive alot of goals. So I think they really need to let go of some players, and bring in more young experience players that can help strengthen the team and boost their pattern of play. |

I don't even see any team that is competing or a threat to real madrid in the laliga league, other teams that behind real madrid in the stands like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, are struggling with their games in the concluded season, they find it difficult to win some of their games. Real Madrid never struggled with anything team to drag position, they are always ahead of every team.
I respect your opinion but I wouldn't be so sure about that in fact. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are still struggling too much which is really a fact. However I can't indicate it in the same way for Barcelona honestly. Because they are improving themselves day by day seemingly. Since Xavi became their new coach, things have been going on much better for them. By the way, have you seen how many points Real Madrid and Barcelona collected after Xavi became Barcelona's new coach? If I'm not mistaken, Real Madrid collected 58 points and Barcelona got 56. This can be really dangerous for Real Madrid next season if it goes like this. Though we all know Realmadrid performance in the concluded season was outstanding, they played so well and it was a great performance from them. They have well experience players that help develop the team pattern of play, and a good coach that knows how to control and maintain his team. Since taking over as a manager in real Madrid the team performance have been outstanding, his impact in the team created alot contribution to the teams sucess. But I think things might change by next season, other teams are rearranging their teams and trying to sort there teams problems, and I think Barcelona will be one of the top problem they will have next season, so they should be conscious and well prepared. |

A hard blow for Liverpool fans because many think Liverpool's game is not optimal without lifting a trophy in the big league, Liverpool has dropped from defeat in two prestigious leagues this season but should we break the spirit of Liverpool supporters! Liverpool cannot be said to have failed miserably this season just because they didn't win the Premier League and Champions League. Their failure in these two competitions shouldn't be considered a very bad thing and I think their fans should respect that. Liverpool have tried to be the best in the Premier League, but unfortunately Manchester City couldn't be stopped by Aston Villa in their last game. In the Champions League Liverpool were just unlucky because they couldn't score, it's regrettable but the fans shouldn't think it's been a bad season for Liverpool. I'm not a Liverpool fan, but I think it's still worth their effort this season especially because they managed to have the chance to win four times over. But unfortunately, the two titles they dreamed of this season had to be lost because other teams were better or luckier than them. I think that Liverpool did well even though they did not get trophies this season. We can say that Liverpool had a good chance of winning both the English Premier League and also the Champions League and we also can say that they missed some easy chances to gain points in the English Premier League and they could have played better in the Champions League final but after all, I think their overall performance was really good. And with the competition that they have in the English Premier League, they did more than well in my opinion. I think there will perform better in the next season and there will also be more determined to win the Champions League next time. I really agree with you, Liverpool performance last season was remarkable, they tried as much as possible playing three finals and securing two trophies, and also finishing 2nd in the table, I think it was a successful season for them despite loosing to Realmadrid in the champions league final. Perhaps with their performance last season, I think they are consider one of the best team in Europe and EPL, and with the look of things I think they will perform more better next season. |
