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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? 

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.

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

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.
