Messi didn't play but there is guarantee Argentina would have won if he played either. Plus, they got a red card in the first half you know. It was still going to be a tough game for them.

Apart from that, they already secured their lead in the group in the end. They didn't need the win. Maybe they beat Venezuela anyway but Ecuador are much more powerful. They benefited from it well.

IS funny to see here in this thread we are talking more about the shit game between Liverpool and Burnley instead of the main one who is Manchester United against Manchester City, can anyone said to me why?

So lets change that.

What team do you expect to prevail in the derby of the weekend? Are we gonna see a close match or a open one?

From Nuno to Ange, from defending to attacking. This is such a weird move for sure. Picking someone who has 90 degree different in term of club's philo is unacceptable. It can be considered as a big gamble and their chance to be relegated is big. I also wanna say "Welcome to the championship, Forest".

I read the news and was so speechless for some minutes because I couldn't believe it until I confirmed from multiple sources. He's the first manager to be sacked in the Premier League this season despite trying his best for the team. This Man made Nottingham Forest to compete with the likes Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool fighting for a top five finish last season but unfortunately, they couldn't make it through. As for this season, it's just getting started and still very early to conclude the manager is their problem.

I don't understand how some club owners think some times because they made silly decisions when they're supposed to calm and very calm when they are supposed to make a decisive decision. Tottenham sacked their manager too just after he won a trophy with them and here Nottingham Forest sacked the coach that gave them hope. It's interesting and funny, Ange is coming to Nottingham Forest as reported and circulating in the media.

From all indications, Arsenal is only left with one opinion in their next game which is a straight win as this would boost the team morale to chase the league early enough behind their rivals Liverpool. Tactically, Arsenal has what it takes to beat Nottingham forest with their steady attacking ball pattern, their opponents would be forced to defend more. The concern in arsenal is not actually this early days as they have a way of impressing at the early days of every season. If Arteta can be more intentional about chasing the league and concentrating always on a win, he could triumph. But Liverpool don't look like their stopping any time soon, however all these are speculations and the football fans are definitely expectant as always.

There is a point in your idea Manchester city only have few big names the club now it would be those players has no replacement the pillar of that club was the Belgian player Kevin de bruyne no player was able to replace him or should i say Pep had not seen such a talent to buy, it will difficult for Erling Haaland to score for the club because the engine room is no more with the club.
Manchester city Pep made good use of his opportunity when Manchester city was at their peak he has won the premier league if not 4 times in a row he might be leaving the club soon if there is no improvement with the club.

I was overconfident with Turkey before the match, but they couldn't prove anything, losing badly at home. Arda Guler couldn't replicate his club form for the national team, and even Calhanoglu, a senior player, couldn't do much. Meanwhile, Spain proved once again that they are a team with consistent strength. Now, Turkey goal difference gives Georgia a chance to compete closely with Spain.

This is true that Manchester United is in their rebuild phase. No doubt they have the potential to do great. And the more they are greatly willing to perform better and want to go back in their glory era. But if someone is talking about their current situation and expect according to their position so I think it will not be negative it will be realistic. Because there is no magic that is ready to happen in the team. They can do better and they will . But let them give a space and their time to return in the field with their betterment. Because very firstly they need to restore the confidence as now there are many players who are not ready to join the club. So, things will happen in a row and they succeed in achieving the best.

Arsenal had an excellent performance in the first half better than Liverpool.The players were quite confident in the match, but in the second half they went back to their old strategy of playing a defensive game. From my review, there were no serious attacks made against Liverpool.

 It was an interesting match to see how Liverpool took the lead in the 83rd minute of the match, with Dominik Szoboszlai's goal. Arsenal were so helpless after conceding the goal. No doubt Liverpool is a very good team with a complete squad, which is why they are currently topping the league with the available points.

after all, liverpool appears to be the team with the highest expectations for the championship. i think they have the most complete starting 11 because, aside from any positional weaknesses, all of their players are of the highest quality.

when you factor in their full squad, the difference between them and other teams becomes even clearer. here are two completely different starting lineups composed of liverpool's current players:

this means that even if all the players in liverpool's current starting 11 were suddenly injured, they could still field a complete squad of top quality. that's incredible.

It is obvious Manchester city has reduced form and their performance showed and proved everything but I still don't see them as people that won't do well this season and season just started even team that won't go anywhere will be wining and playing nice football but when the time comes they will go to there rightful places. It is really hard to predict who will win the premier league at this stage but if I am to chose or make selection of a team that will win this premier league 2025, I will pick Chelsea but I believe the game will change later.

Mike Tyson just made a post on X that he signed a deal with Mayweather to have boxing fight in 2026.

Just a small reminder to everyone that Tyson will be 60 years old in 2026, and Floyd Mayweather will be 49 year old.

They are both doing this event only for money and this is going to be exhibition boxing, but Mayweather is clear favorite for me.

It's too early to say Manchester City isn't ready to compete for the Premier League title this season, Manchester City didn't start the season well but they have everything to turn things around like what happened at the end of last season even though it was too late but at least it can be a reference that the same thing is possible to happen again, so it's still early in the season and Pep Guardiola has plenty of time to fix everything and I still have a lot of faith in Pep.

Under 33 is probably the right bet here as it's going to be a lot of running from the Chargers. Clock going to run nonstop IMO. None of the QBs are anywhere near elite and without starting players we just aren't going to see a huge passing game. Honestly though, who cares IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!!! I'll be happy the season is starting.

Anyone like me on here? I am a big fan of playing games on PC and console and now that web3 games are here it's already taking me away from gambling, I've spent countless hours on Illuvium and gotten my favourite pokemon style monsters and I am able to sold few on the open market.

Now I earn money playing web3 games, my point is it's taking my attention away from casino games, am I the only one on here who loves playing web3 games on their PC? Or many don't just know about it yet?

Now I engage in slots once or twice a week, the main reason why I like slot is because it reminds me of the old style arcade games I love playing in 1995, simple and easy, it brings back my childhood memories.

^^  I guess it's gong to be between Alcaraz vs Sinner in the finals.

I haven't check the draw yet, but if this two are not in the same bracket, and I assume they will not, then they will go and clash into the deeper rounds or even in the finals.

But if they are in the same bracket, then most likely quarter finals will do.

I dark horse here is Djokovic, although he is only out of his prime, he might have a few good tennis in him specially in grand slams wherein his focus and mentality is very different.
