And it is a podium for Hadjar! 
What a day for the 20-year-old French driver...
Norris was really unlucky today. While pushing for the win one last time his car broke down. Now he is much farther away from Piastri as the gap has become 34 points.
No luck for Ferrari either... Hamilton again made a simple mistake. Antonelli killed Leclerc's race and he also couldn't get any points because of a 10-second penalty.

Re: ⚽ Matchday 3 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026
I got really bored in the first half because of watching no goal. 
But I can say Arsenal were the better playing side. They had many opportunities to score so far.
Liverpool doesn't seem like the same team we have watched. At least in offense. Wirtz is still performing badly. He will get more criticism over himself in time if things go on like this.

So far there are only 2 teams starting with 2 wins, Bayern Munich and Frankfurt.
Currently Dortmund are hosting Union Berlin. You know they started with a surprising 3-3 draw with St. Pauli. But I believe this is the day they get their first win of the season.
6 shots and 2 big chances in the first half. They are closer to scoring for now. Do you think they will lose points again?

Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
What a week though!
First Lille crushed Lorient by 7-1 away. Actually Lorient didn't start the season horribly but this score came as a surprise. However I saw some results such as 4-0, 4-1 too in their head-to-heads so I shouldn't be too surprised.
And finally PSG showed what they were made of in offense. A 6-3 win... The defense was really poor at the same time. I'm expecting improvement against Lens next time.

An end of an era for Leicester...
Vardy signed for them in 2012 and played for 13 years. Finally he was released by Leicester on exactly the same day he joined Leicester.
Now he is 38 and about to play for Cremonese. I don't know why but they already had 6 CFs. Now it is 7 with Vardy.
I thought maybe Vardy would go to Saudi Arabia instead though.Simeone was finished 3 years ago. Zero ideas, zero results. I don't know what needs to happen for Atletico management to think about sacking him. I think the problem is him. Atletico have a good squad, they can afford to buy top players, Simeone is the most expensive coach in the world... where are the results? It is clear to the naked eye that Atletico is playing worse from season to season, even their signature defense is no longer good. By the way, in the next round Atletico plays Villarreal, again minus 2 or 3 points?
I just checked and saw that Atletico Madrid spent 175 million euros on signings this summer. But still 0 positive result.
They are just throwing their money away. Sad to see it...Everything has an end and Simeone also must go soon. They should sign a manager who will build a solid attacking system. They need to get more productive. Only then they can be more competitive in the La Liga.
Guys come on... How are Milan performing better than last season now? Don't get carried away with this win against Lecce. I also liked their effort but this doesn't mean anything yet.
Don't forget the way they lost to Cremonese home on the first week.
Napoli and Roma both won. Congrats to both of us! However I was really nervous while following the games... Both ended by 1-0. Especially Napoli were going to give me a heart attack man. The winner came in the last moments.

We have almost the same bets. 
Don't worry, Roma will surely win this time because their opponent is not a strong team, just a promoted side that doesn’t have a performance stronger than Roma. Napoli will also win easily after Inter's big score in the previous match, which has motivated Napoli to secure another victory in this game.

Bremen get a red card and you make it 3-1 right after. It should just be the end right? But no, it wasn't. 3-3 draw at the end. A big disappointment...
2 easy games and only 1 point collected. A really poor start for him.

Once again Atletico Madrid are a failure... They couldn't beat Alaves again. I trusted their BTTS more for a reason and it really won. 2.04 was really attracting. I was only nervous about it might end up with a goalless draw.
3 games left behind and only 2 points for Atletico Madrid. How much longer will they go on like that? Simeone just can't build a good system for the team anymore as it seems. They couldn't even score more than 1 goal in any of these easy fixtures.

Re: ⚽ Matchday 3 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026
Man U vs Burnley just got started and Amorim's previous statement in an interview was reviewed by a commentator, that he hates his players sometimes, the Club is always making the headline, but this time for the wrong reason. However, Man U is going fine and they've got their first corner kick, it's quite a decent start for the reds. Hopefully they win today's game, Amorim is really in the wrong state of mind, and considering to resign, but sometimes he said, he gets to love his squad.
Man what a game that was...
I can't imagine how stressed Amorim was. He wasn't even able to look at the penalty kick by Fernandes in the last minutes.
But I understand. Even against Burnley they had serious difficulties.I was really hoping for that last minute goal though. Maybe this win would give them some more confidence. They really needed it. And they must be aware how poor their defending was too in the meantime.
Things are getting more interesting on the last days of the summer... Donnarumma's future is still ambiguous depending on Ederson. But I still feel like no matter what Manchester City won't miss this opportunity.
Another thing they say is that the reason why Galatasaray has waited this much is their also trying to sign Donnarumma.
But I don't think they can convince him while a big Premier League team is also in the race honestly.Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Only 2 days left for the end of the transfer window as the deadline is September 1...
Do you expect more signings by PSG in the last moments? Honestly I'm not (or maybe a RB signing as a backup for Hakimi?).
Kolo Muani is still likely to leave though but I don't think Luis Enrique would feel the need of filling his space. He already moved on without him last season by not signing anyone.

Really nice one by Milan! Thankfully it didn't take them too long to get their first win in the season.
This time they even beat Lecce easier than the game here in the previous season. 4 big chances... It could have ended by a bigger goal gap as well.
Thinking of a 2-leg multi like this for today. There is total odds of 2.50. Roma might look risky but I trust them to keep winning.

Valencia beat Getafe 3-0, securing their first win of the season.
I watched the last 20 minutes of the match in particular. The pre-match odds for over 2.5 goals were set at 2.63, so I thought it would be foolish to miss that odds, so I placed a bet. My bet won with a goal in the 90+4th minute. (Thanks, Duro)🫣
My excellent bet almost lost in the last leg.

But over 2.5 goals still didn't win that easy as you also said.
Getafe actually had many more shots than Valencia in the second half. But no goal at the end. This is why I doubted over 2.5 goals but that one by Valencia was really extra.Not a bad start for Valencia though. Last season was full of struggles for them. They were able to climb near top 10 later on. Let's see whether they face similar problems this season too.
Leipzig has sold Xavi Simons to Tottenham officially...
They signed him for 50 million euros in the past. And now they have sold him for 65 million. Still a profitable deal in the end. But of course they have lost an important member of the squad in the meantime.
I wonder with whom they are planning to fill his place now. They had better sign a good talent. The season hasn't started well for them at all.

Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM.....
Ferrari looked really weak today in both sessions. Do you think they are saving power for qualifying? They don't do that often though. We usually see them doing impressive work in FP.
I don't know... FP results can be really tricky or misleading sometimes.
Let's wait for how FP3 goes. Its results would tell us more about the potential results of qualifying.
But I wouldn't still expect a poor performance by Aston Martin. At least by Alonso.
Well, Aston Martin is only 0.09s behind after fp2
I think they can't compete with Mclarens, I'm expecting that the papaya is holding back some hidden power.
Also rain will probably happen so everything will shuffle.
If not rain then Aston can compete for the second row for sure.

It was a horrible start for Milan first of all. You know how they got beaten by Cremonese at San Siro. I really don't know what's wrong with them. Is it still an adaptation process with Allegri or because of still lacking necessary signings?
It feels like both though... Milan are given 1.62 odds to win tonight. Last season they beat Lecce in both games but had serious difficulties while they were the away side. BTTS has been given 2.02 but not unlikely to me.

The details of the Xavi Simons - Tottenham deal.
When did Tottenham even make an offer for him?
I must have missed that part. Because I have only seen rumours linking him with Chelsea. But they focused on the Garnacho deal instead.Great work by Tottenham though! Paying 60 million euros for him might seem risky maybe but he is really a talented midfielder. Still 22 years old too.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Really awful situation for Ederson to not be signed with Galatasaray as he would have played in UCL but a Saudi move will suit him as well as I doubt he will refuse a big contract with a significant amount of money.
Galatasaray doesn't want to pay over 20 million euros for Ederson while Manchester City is expecting an amount around there. I understand though considering he is already 32 years old.
PSG started the season not very impressively in performance. Maybe they won both games but I didn't like their effort at all. Only one goal in each game.
Tomorrow night they are away against Toulouse. Their opponent has also started with 2 wins but I think PSG will still beat them. 1.36 is really low odds though.
Better to add to a multi.Tomorrow Atletico Madrid are going to face Alaves away. They were able to collect only 2 points after 2 games so far. The thing is, they couldn't beat Alaves in their last 3 away games too. Honestly I would rather bet on BTTS @2.04 than trusting Simeone's students now.
It is an incredible draw for Barcelona honestly. The easiest one they could have got really. Only the PSG and Chelsea games are tough ones for them.
I think Real Madrid have more challenging games to play compared to them in general.

And Barcelona is quite an interesting match for the clubs they will face.
