I agree that Barcelona and Real Madrid can certainly take home all three points in their upcoming matches. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid will face less formidable teams. Barcelona will face Valencia, while Real Madrid will face Sociedad. Therefore, Barcelona and Real Madrid have a very good chance of winning easily in their upcoming matches. Regarding Atletico Madrid, I personally highly doubt they can win. The teams they will face are quite strong and have a very good record throughout the season. Meanwhile, as we know, Atletico Madrid haven't managed to win a single match this season. Therefore, I personally have serious doubts about Atletico Madrid's chances in their upcoming matches.

However, if they can improve their performance, I believe Atletico Madrid's chances of winning will be slightly greater. So, with that in mind, I don't think we can make a good prediction until we see Atletico Madrid's performance in their upcoming match against Villarreal. But it's true that if Atletico Madrid can't take home all three points in their upcoming match, I think they'll struggle to compete at the top of the La Liga table. Because, considering the points difference between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona and Real Madrid, the gap will definitely be very large.
Yes, the championship could be the same as we know it, the two teams Real Madrid and Barcelona could be a two-way fight and compete to win the championship as always, Yamal's form is incredible anyway, he always puts in monstrous performances

So much for them wanting to sell Vlahovic. It turned out to be a very good move that he stayed. He has significantly improved his form and contributed to Juventus in these two victories. Napoli is dominating even without Lukaku, their new signings are excellent, and we’ve already seen KDB’s first goal. The other teams seem okay to me, we’ll see how things go as the season continues.
The juventus seems to have found its bomber that they were waiting for so long, vlahovic seems to have returned to a good level, I do not feel like saying that he has returned to a stellar level, but he has certainly improved and is giving a lot to the team

Historically speaking they are a team of inconsistent achievements. I mean for the past 30 years, they always show up, do something big, then go away for a few years, and then come back, do something, and then go away for a few more years. I am guessing it's about the money, because they are not making money like some Real Madrid level, or any other big club like that, but they are not fine with just being consistently bad there.

So instead, they just spend all their money in a single season, do something big, like getting Osimhen this summer, get some achievements, and then go broke and then go away for a few years, save some money, for another try to attempt to do the same later. They keep going in that circle. If one day by some miracle they win it, then suddenly they can consistently be good, but until then they will probably keep staying here.
Galatasaray simply did it once again with Osimhen. The Florya land sale (~$500m+) provided them with a war chest, so they threw €75m and paid him out a net of 16m in wages (net gross 25m)

Osimhen + Sane combine  eat up about 42% of the total wage bill. That is not a model you can sustain year after year unless Champions League revenue (approximately €40-50m minimum) continues to flow in, since that UCL cheque is basically paying those two wages alone. Miss one UCL season and all of a sudden the entire thing falls apart. This is exactly the pattern we have observed in the past busts. So, the non-consistency is not an accident, it is embedded in the way they fund success. They will reign 2-3 years and then crash into a wall and restart. It cannot be compared to Real Madrid level of consistency since the commercial/revenue engine of them is on a different planet. Gala is essentially betting that their peak cycle will last long enough to collect on UCL prize money and perhaps sell Osimhen in 2027 before the bust
It has always been like this, it is certainly a cycle that is repeated but this time this team is at a higher level, certainly there will be something else behind it because these investments are strange and I am sorry because the fans are losing out, as always

Messi scored two goals as Argentina beat Venezuela 3-0. He couldn't hold back his tears at the end of the match. This could be his last game for the national team. Like many others, I think he wants to play one last time in the next World Cup, but last night's game had the feel of a final match. Most likely, this was his last match in Argentina, in front of his home crowd. I don't think he'll retire without playing in the World Cup one last time.

It was very interesting that all matches outside Paraguay game ended 3-0. All four home teams won by the same score. All teams participating in the cup have been determined ahead of the final matches. Only the team advancing to the play-off remains to be decided. It will be either Venezuela or Bolivia.
You really think that Messi is not playing the next World Cup, it is most likely that we will see the last exciting match between Messi and Ronaldo, an endless challenge that seems to never end, I am sad when it all ends this will end, but this will happen sooner or later

Man City had great last season as they finished 3rd on points table and they started last season by winning all 3 of their initial games. But this season they are having disastrous start as they have lost 2 of three games they have played. The start of tournament is important as it tells the moral and strength of team, if team start losing points in beginning of tournament then it's difficult for the team to make a come back at later stage of the tournament. Man City need to win matches if they want to remain in the contest.

Of course, it seems he's content with just getting to the Champions League; i don't recognize Guardiola anymore. To me, he seemed like an ambitious coach who wanted to win cups and titles, but instead it seems he's content with just doing his homework. Very disappointing, i must say.

Slovakia played beautiful and effective football and pulled off the surprise of the night. Many expected Germany to win, but Slovakia secured a 2-0 victory.
Betting sites made a good profit on this result.
Goalkeeper Dubravka played a key role in Slovakia's victory. Rudiger was very lackluster in defense for Germany. He was so helpless in one position in the first half that you wouldn't believe Rudiger ever played for Real Madrid. He also suffered a terrible blow in Slovakia's second goal.

Crazy, gentlemen, i would never have bet on Slovakia being able to beat the German tank, this says a lot about the health of the "big" national teams or those that in theory should be the leaders.
It promises to be a special World Championship.

Il discorso è che se abbiamo una media di 15 utenti che scrivono costantemente e poi pochi altri che fanno qualche messaggio al mese, basta che la metà dei regolari scriva di meno e gli effetti si notano moltissimo. Se invece avessimo una media di 80-100 utenti regolari le cose sarebbero ben diverse anche nei periodi lenti o di vacanza. Non sono sicuro che si possa parlare di board matura con un numero così limitato di utenti, quello sarebbe uno step successivo, non ci siamo ancora.

chiaro, ma infatti le sezioni migliori sono quelle internazionali dove ci sta sempre un botto di gente e dove si parla tanto e ci sono delle notizie link e chicche non indifferenti. Secondo me dovremmo tutti un pochetto andare a leggere anche in quelle zone, tipo in meta.

Antony signing for Real Betis is one of their best signing their summer he was very instrumental for them during his loan time and now that he's back as a full player his presence should add more force to their attack just like he did last season. Antony performance for Betis was far better than what we saw him do in Manchester United and this season Real Betis should finish in top4 probably ahead of ATM they is in poor form.

Surely something must have motivated him to go to Real Betis. Sometimes there are factors we don't know about in the decisions of players and coaches. For example, Mourinho refused to go, despite being overpaid, to play in the Arab League. Maybe his wife doesn't like the climate or something else in that part of the world.

And what Ac Milan is doing is obviously what almost all the club's are doing now because they have found out the importance of having quality players because if you have quality players that will determine the condition of which your club will find its self.  And this is one of the reasons why am actually buying the idea of improving as a club if not that club will be left behind.

Because if you look at It Ac Milan is part of the club's that have good reputation and they lost it due to proper maintenance of the club, because consistency in bringing in new players also have its own way of affecting the club so we should ask for a proper entertainment when ever they are playing. Because the whole structure of the team have to be active before they can archive there own goal so there is always reasons for proper structuring.


AC Milan is undoubtedly a great team, with a long and rich history. Many talented coaches and players have played with and for AC Milan. One example is Carlo Ancelotti, now coach of the Brazilian national team, which isn't just any national team.
Let's hope he recovers

I love the reunion of Sane and IIkay Gundugan. Gundugan also seems happy to play with Victor Osimhen as he was in complete awe when the news came up about his successful transfer to Galatasaray was announced. If they canbe able to convert the chances they have in attack, then the defenders will have to do their best defending likewise. I'm so gassed up for the Champions league. Anticipating!!
Galatasaray is slowly building their team to become and a match for clubs in the Champions League. They have recently added quite a few professional players to their squad to work with Osimhen and achieve their target. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go farther in the Champions League compared to last season. Fingers crossed.

In the end, Victor Osimhen is a champion, we knew that. Unfortunately, let's say he had a difficult time with Napoli. i don't know who's to blame, but the result is that he no longer plays in Italy. Galatasaray certainly took advantage of this and made him theirs.

At the moment, Man City actually looks worse than Man United, with the results from the last 3 matches making bettors hesitant to bet on a Man City win. Actually, the odds at @1.70 are very favorable because City will be playing at home, which gives them a better chance of winning this match. Guardiola should make changes in defensive discipline, which is currently worse compared to last season. In conclusion, I might prefer to bet on BTTS (Yes).

Oh, these odds make it clear where the match is headed, 1.70 as odds meaning that they think Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will obviously win.
It would almost be worth placing a bet, even though i have never placed any bets in the Premier League.

For me, the penalty that was awarded to Barcelona was controversial because the contact between Pep Chavarria and Lamine Yamal was not much. I think both of them had an equal impact on each other. Barca got that goal because the VAR was not functioning. Rayo Vallecano gave the defending champions a good fight and if not for Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia, they would have scored more.


And the Blanquivermells have scored just one goal, too poor. It shows that the club is totally in a bad shape. The club's manager, Míchel, would have to turn things around or risk being sacked. They managed to escape relegation last season and this season might be worse.

But these teams are teams that hardly manage to win against the big teams and sometimes, they even change more than one coach who will pass through that bench bringing only discontent to the club and only doing damage, I can't say that the championship is over for them but if they continue like this it will be bad.

This is the kind of improvement every team want to experience from their coach and players to expand, if truly Galatasaray coach has such plan to join UEFA champion League this season, I think they have quality players that will make them to play the tournament to be know in the whole world, but they will not be able to be part of the team that will top the table because there are some teams that will not allow the new team to lead the table no matter how strong and talented they are in the tournament, I know some Players like Victor osimhen, sane, and ilkay in Galatasaray will do what will make other teams in the UEFA champion League to be scard of them because those players are the major Pilar of Galatasaray which we have seen their display last season that made Galatasaray to won the title with highest points.

Yes, this year Galatasaray is a really good team. If I were their fan, I would be really happy to see such a good team. The attackers are from a top team that can seriously win the league and the championship, so pay attention to them. these are strong strong

That's because he simply signed recently for them and is yet to even train properly with the first team for a general assessment. What's the reason of his signature if he won't be the center forward for them?! They must have had that discussion before he concluded to swi g that way. After the International break, I'm certain he'll be the man leading the attack. He had a good past with Atalanta, I'm sure he'll smash it with Napoli.

Yes, if he's given space, I think he could be an excellent asset for Napoli, but I don't understand those who say that a player, especially a new one, should play straight away. In my opinion, we need to wait a bit to let him integrate with the group and get him to fit in well with the team.

Yes, of course, all teams have improved their respective team conditions with a level of confidence in their efforts to win the title. With the support of new players, of course Arsenal will be even better with adequate quality in all lines. Because in reality, the initial foundation is much better when facing the next match, of course, that is what is being implemented at Arsenal now.

 Despite many teams have improved doesn't mean people don't know the team that will win the title, base on their starting from first, second and third match, we have see teams with highest points and goals in this premier League tournament that convinced some people to see Chelsea and Liverpool the two team that will play the final match this season, talking about Arsenal in this tournament, I don't think their new players will assist the team to repeat second position in the premier League tournament because they are lacking in the area of forward players which is the reason behind their failure in the home of Liverpool, I don't know if Arsenal will make a good turn back to win their next match to prove to people that they have put more effort to challenge any teams in the remaining matches.
Determining the winning team at the start of the championship is practically impossible and everyone knows it, but there are teams that are more likely to win the title, partly by nature and partly because they have made a targeted purchasing campaign to win, and on this there are teams that have spent a lot and then at the end you can see

It's hard to determine who is the best among them if it's still early in the season they still have a lot to do for their new team, but if you look at his experience maybe Isak has more experience in the Premier League and has good skills when he was at Newcastle so he might be the best striker at Liverpool and might compete with his teammate Hugo Ekitike in scoring many goals because so far Hugo Ekitike has shown his abilities in the last few matches where he contributed to Liverpool victory.

Alexander Isakv is an excellent player, and it is very interesting to understand how he will evolve, certainly Manchester has not taken this player by chance paying the record figure of 144 million which is a figure that seems to be the fourth highest in history for a player

I'm avoiding betting on Italy. I don't see their national coach being able to improve the team, and the squad isn't very strong compared to the squad they had years ago when they managed to qualify and go far in the World Cup. My attention is on the England team; they've improved a lot with Tuchel's arrival, but I saw in the press that Tuchel didn't call up Alexander-Arnold to play against Andorra and Serbia and instead called up Elliot Anderson, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest.

This surprised me, since Alexander-Arnold plays for Real Madrid, which is a good team, better than Nottingham Forest. Perhaps the fact that he left Liverpool, where he played regularly, for Real Madrid, where he's been sitting on the bench, may have influenced this decision. Now, look at Italy; the coach doesn't have as many player options as the England coach does.

I think and hope that this time Italy can go to the World Cup, confidence is high and the team is focused on the objective, I understand that it is not an easy thing and that reaching that result can bring problems, but they have to do it and for this reason I have given them confidence with my bet on them to go through to the next round

It's interesting to see the three big teams in the Spanish league this season. They are Madrid, Atletico, and Barcelona. Interestingly, Atletico has the largest budget at 176 million euros. Meanwhile, Madrid has 167.5 million euros and Barcelona has only spent a quarter of their combined budget, which is 27 million euros. Is Atletico ready to be the champion? I think there is a chance. All teams have that chance. Currently, Barcelona has already lost two points due to a draw with Rayo. But remember, there are still many matches left to play. There are still other possibilities that could unfold. 
Yes, the championship has just started and so we can't say yet who will be the favourite, but for me it will still be a hard-fought championship between the two teams, one is Real Madrid and one is Barcelona, but everything could change. Do you think there will be a three-team race?
