I can not wait for the start of this season on Premier League.

Is gonna be a very good one, and for the first time in a lot of years despite the Liverpool favoritism we dont have a clear winner, the other years before the fall of them we always have Manchester City at the main contender and wanting a miracle from other team to cut them off, but this year is diferent.

Meanwhile, Juventus has made official the arrival of Joao Mario, the new Portuguese player, so the club is moving to buy players and bring them to Turin, as I think, certainly, they are working in the best possible way to bring him to Juventus

Joao Mario is a talented player. But , Juventus should have added a more experienced striker to their attack. Joao Mario is a midfielder. It is not certain whether he will be able to play well in Serie A. Although , we have seen that Mario was able to play quite well in the Besiktas jersey last season. This midfielder scored 5 goals and made 4 assists. The signing of Joao mario may  strengthen Juventus' midfield a bit, but juventus' attack is still quite weak . It is unlikely that Juventus will compete for the title with this squad.

Joao Mario the one who is in Besiktas? Or another one? Because you know Portuguese reuse so much their names.

Avoid all what i wrote.

I just checked, and it was the one who was in Porto, lets see how he behave in Juventus.I dont have so much info about him.

Verstappen risked it all, it has a dry setup for the car.
If it will rain he will be messed up with huge grip problems.

Shame for Lewis with his stupid mistake.

Very good to see diferent names in the top 10 (despite the top 4º).

Ocon in fifth position and Bearman in 7º shows how hard and good HAAS is working,aside of that i believe they do a better set up of the car than the other teams.

Gasly still doing some magic with that Alpine, lets see if he can grab some points for the team.

The main problem this day with "salaries" is they are not longer "salary" i mean they deal with a lot of other things in the contracts like publicity marketing and other things that we dont know so much about it.

For example in this new extension in the Cristiano Ronaldo contract it was some assets like the shares of the team, plus jets and travels.

Well seems like i miss a few hours in this conversation and a lot was spoke.

All i read were excuses, resources? Come on fooball was never attached to resources, the most poverty countries in the world alsod evelop a good level in football Africa being super poor do a lot more than asians. And in the past even South American ones were they were super poor and without all the actuals federations.

If Milan are really serious about building a title contender, they would double down on prime-age and young talent, not keep re-cycling old legends like Modric and Walker because of experience. We have been here before: bringing in the big names after they have passed their physical prime rarely achieves much in the long run, especially in a league that is getting faster and faster

I said this a couple of days ago, and people were talking about how Modric is still a quality player and all. Milan cannot keep selling young talent at their peak and buying players that are at the eclipse of their career and think they can be an elite club. I understand they are not in a good place financially, but they can invest in better scouts who can get good and inexpensive players that can fit into their project.
Look at how Barcelona have been able to make use of their academy players to elevate their team. They also invested in inexpensive players like Pedri, and now they're among the best teams in Europe. Milan may not get talents like Barcelona academy players, but they will definitely get players who will help them be able to compete.

Im not 100% with you guys on this one, in previous season Milan try some of that and ended up pretty bad for them, pure young gem without good old players who suit them and teach the youngs not only how to play but also how to behave is a waste of talent.

So i think we need to wait and see the full develop in this one.

I've been hearing things that Fred Vasseur is gonna be given a contract extension because of the 'stability' that he brings to the team...  That prolly more like it means that Ferrari can't get Horner so they have no choice but to stay with Vasseur.  Cheesy Cheesy

So I guess the odds on Horner going to Alpine and buying 20% of the team is going up?  Chances are he's not taking a sabbatical.

In the past, Ferrari has often changed team bosses in the pursuit of short term results, but this approach does not bring sustainable success. Since Vasseur took over, Ferrari has been trying to pursue a more long-term and stable strategy. The secret to success lies in stability. This also contributes to team communication and engineering processes. I think Ferrari's performance has been steadily improving. Especially in qualifying and pit stop times. I think the impact of the technical and cultural reforms under Vasseur's stewardship will become evident over time.

One of the worst think that can happen to a pwoerfull team like Ferrari is start to fall into this kind of narrative, they are not longer seeking for being champion or seeking for a team boss who can bring you to the very top, not they are now only wanting to see "stability" what a shit for team this big and with all his history in their backs. Pure shame.

Im still surprised on how we dont see yet at least one good player from the whole south asia and even including India we still didnt see any good player for there, im not expecting a whole national team making good steps towards becoming a contender to be in the next world cup, but at least to see 1 between so many millions reaching europe.

How can they be this bad?
I guess it's mainly because football is not the main sport. Sometimes we see things from a European/South American point of view, where there is football, more football, and more football again, and then some other sport. I don't know a lot about sports in India but I guess that cricket is way more popular than football; same goes with China where they focus more on individual sports rather than teams. Japan for example have been investing a lot of time and money promoting football because until 20-30 years ago it was not very popular and I think that still nowadays baseball is more popular than football.

Improving a national team requires decades of work because you have to create and grow a few generations of players, it's not something that you can do in a few years, it requires a huge amount of organization and planning.

Sorry for answer this late.

I know this is the main answer they give about this, they said is not his first sport, and is ok, but if we look into it you see they hace so  much population so even being the third sport they have to produce something and that is not happening at all.

For example in Spain basquet is not their main sports but they keep making good players, and you can pick any sport in any country and see it.

I really want to see in this season a few things:

- First, see again teams like Spurs and United fighting at least for european spots, it was a disgrace what we see the last season.
- Second i want to see again a surprise team a "cinderella" or whatever you call it, im not looking for a Leicester becoming champion but for a team who show up and fight until the end against the big six.

Here we go another Manchester United player who is gonna play really good in a team outside the Manchester team and when they come back they play horrible again, is something bad in that team.

Aside of that i already said it, stop wanting to see Barcelona confirming the buy of any player, they need to sell they are super broke.

CP3 still good contributor for his team and his presence is really a big thing for their shooters and bigs.
No doubt he’s still got it, he hasn’t really lost his skills. The main issue with him is his health. But now that he won’t be a starter and will probably just play limited minutes with his new team, he might not be as prone to injuries.

This could be CP3’s last shot.
If he still doesn’t win a championship here, I think he might finally call it a career.

Well aside of my last comment about him in this thread i also feel like is gonna be super difficult to win the ring in a team like Los Angeles Clippers, i mean they are one of the most losers teams in history the awfull brother in the city and when they always seems to be in the path of winning something they fail, so i dont know how much chance they got despite having a good team.

Yesterday i see some news about Lamine Yamal.

One of this news was he is growing, yes like you read, they said he grows 10cm between his debut and today which can cause trouble in his way of playing since you start to have a more higher center of gravity, but also he can have more speed and reach more balls since you are longer now.

The other one was about his silly father.No comments

Dame is back in Portland, and so is Chris Paul, he's back with the Clippers. He expressed a desire to play near his home. Although the Clippers' lineup is somewhat old, honestly, if the team stays healthy, they still have a shot. Just look at their last playoff appearance, they took the series to Game 7 against the Nuggets. Although they didn’t make it, they still played well. Now, they’ve got Beal and Lopez, thanks to Harden taking a pay cut.

Im very happy of seeing Damian Lillard coming back where he was happy and where he have his best level so far.

About Chris Paul, he knows he have to retire someday?. I mean he is still a super player but come on man you are not Lebron James, and i love him he is one of the best guards in the league, but take a farewell.

Onana and Garnacho have both been left out of squad by the way if you don't know. It has been like a month since this decision was made by Amorim. Now what?  Huh

Garnacho rumours are still fresh. He is expected to leave this summer but prioritizes a move to a Premier League team. I haven't heard of any interest in him here recently...

Onana's future is still ambiguous. Monaco seemed interested but no progress yet.

Onana for sure is gonna comeback to Netherlands as i see, he have to recover his level and maybe end his career in Ajax, goalkeepers remains a lot of time in teams so he can do that.

Emiliano Martinez is gonna be the manchester United goalkeeper i feel.

Garnacho situation i dont know what the future have for him.

Sorry guys to disrupt your talk, but i was seeing the other day Santos again losing pretty badly and i start to think to myself "why are this bad?" i mean i see the line up and the substitutes and i see really good players, what is happening if im not mistaken they already change coach in this season and doesnt seem to change anything.

Or the main problem is they are old?

I believe that many people (especially those outside Brazil) know Santos, mainly because of Pelé and Neymar
The team has had some great moments and is still a big team, but its performance in recent years has been that of an average team and nothing more

Last year, the team was in Serie B and won the championship
Before that, it only won a state championship in 2016

It's a curious situation, because it has good players on the paper, but in practice it's not working out
Currently, the team is in the relegation zone, and to be honest, it's fair. I watched some of the team's games, and it's unfortunate how bad the team is, even with Neymar

Yes, i understand that but i cant believe how they can be this bad having very good players.



About a few post above this one and to not quaote so large, Cruzeiro is the candidate rifht now? I dont see it, they dont seem that good. I feel like they are having a super good run and showing a lot but they are gonna fall later in the season.

My only concern is how good is gonna be Gabriel Barbosa, if he keeps this good level, maybe i can change my opinion.

It is impossible to predict which team will win the Premier League title, but it is expected that Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will face a tough competition next season.

In my opinion, the teams that will fight for the title are:

1 - Liverpool

2 - Chelsea


3 - Arsenal

4 - Manchester City


Chelsea has improved a lot, and they're a team that's improving with each game, so I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to win the league. I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I admit they're a strong contender, better than Arsenal and Manchester City on paper. We'll see on the field, but if I had to choose just two teams with the best chance of winning the Premier League, I'd choose Chelsea and Liverpool. Manchester City hasn't yet managed to regain its strength.

Arsenal has had a good start to the season, but by the middle of the season, their performance begins to decline, and by the end of the season, they haven't been able to win anything. Liverpool has had defensive problems in the last few games of the season; if they can't fix that, they may not be able to achieve good results. while chelsea is simply at its highest level, it has no weak points.

Mmmm my main question about this season is Manchester City, i dont really know if they are gonna be again that super team they were of they are gonna be again in troubles and Guardiola era starts to end.

Chelsea also make me doubt, they are way better than other seasons and seems to have find something where they can start to build, but also remains an  unknown.

Impossible in today world to see Real Madrid seeling a player like Rodrygo to a broken Barcelona, guys some of you seems to forget that Barcelona is BROKElona, they dont have money at all, they dont have cashflow, the problems are still there, so if Real Madrid ask for a lot of money they cant pay at all.

Super poor movement made by Osimen and also by Galatasaray, i know they want to start to build a team who can show face in european competition and seems like they want to have a signature player and Osimen seems to be the one for them, but i feel like is so much money and Osimen itself destroy his career with this movement.
