Juventus are selling both Higuain and Benatia.

Strategic moves since both prospects Caldara and Spinazolla have been recalled from Atalanta. Selling Higuain will make the club stronger. Dybala can slot in as a false 9 with either CR7 or Mandzukic as the point man. The other places will be taken up by Cuadrado, Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa. On defense Caldara will take Benatia's place. Di Sciglio is a quality right back but he's brittle, Spinazzola is a tank. He's already assumed that role with the new Azzurri.

The biggest change is in goal, Buffon's 17 year run has ended. Young Mattia Perin has taken his place.

Canada's brightest football prospect has officially signed with Bayern Munich.

I good move - if he gets to play. I don't want to see him end up like Moise Keen, loaned out to some minnow German Football Club.

Zlatanissimo has pulled out of the Juve vs MLS All Stars match to be played at Atlanta's futuristic new stadium. Can't blame Ibra for that, his prerogative is to get the LA Galaxy into the playoffs, not some ego stroking meaningless showpiece.

Great interview with two of the best this century. They may not be able to speak each others languages but Spaniards and Italians don't need interpreters when doing interviews. Andres Iniesta is a true Man of La Mancha and like Pirlo has his own winery. Now that he has left Barcelona, Messi will assume his role full time.

Has barcelona become the most hated club in Europe? They hijacked Malcolm's transfer to the Giallorossi. In a strange twist Barca lost their CFO Francesco Calvo to Roma. Sid Seixeiro called Lionel Messi a fraud, I wouldn't go that far but he's not the inspirational players he was made out to be.

Roma got a cool $78 million for mercenary Alisson Becker from Liverpool, a player who was unknown a year ago. They used the money to buy Robin Olsen, Sweden's goal keeper - a proven quantity.

Nice to see Canadian Bryan Cristante get on the scoresheet, any win against the cheating separatists is sweet.

Not at all, my esteemed colleague.

An agent goes to a player and says: "you have an offer from two clubs. One was made earlier and the other one more recently. Which do you want?"

No hijacking went on anywhere, anymore than a sore loser would say: "that guy stole my girlfriend".

That's not how it works.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't that upset. Cristante shouldn't be sitting on the bench in favour of a over hyped Brazilian. You over paid, good for you.

Why isn't the FOAT Messy not in North America with the rest of his mates? It's not like the Albiceleste covered themselves with glory in Russia. Don you better hope that Farcelona doesn't get drawn with Internazionale in the opening round of the CL, your going to lose.

I didn't really like this, Sarajevo has been through so much: Europa League qualifications Atalanta 8 Sarajevo 0

Holland are on their way back:

Series A is maybe the 3rd best league in Europe
You are possibly right thailover.

Germany's Golden Generation has declined shockingly and the B Mannschaft was so impressive in the Confederations Cup, it was inexplicable. La Liga will stay dominant and the EPL has the money to buy what they want. I look forward to the completion of Roma Stadium, I'm tired of having them sell their top players every summer.

Qatar cheated its way to host World Cup, says ex-FIFA chief Blatter


Former Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has claimed that his fellow executive committee (Exco) members of the world football body overlooked advice that Qatar was not capable of hosting a World Cup, and went ahead and voted to award the competition to the Gulf state.

The Sunday Times, which published an investigative story on the black ops run by Doha to secure the World Cup, reports that Blatter alleges Qatar’s upset win was a result of a “combination of a rule-breaking collusion deal and political pressure” exerted on Michel Platini, the French Exco member.

The above claims, the UK newspaper reported, are made in Blatter’s recently published book Ma Vérité (My Truth). The contents are defence of Blatter’s 17-year reign at the helm of Fifa, “which ended with a six-year ban from football”.

He goes on to say that because they had all already made up their minds, “nobody” among the Exco members, read the detailed inspection report on the candidate countries, because they had all already made up their minds.

The executive committee was superseded by the Fifa council in 2016,

“If we had read them carefully, we would have seen that the World Cup could not be played in Qatar,” he writes.

Blatter says Platini had called him to say he had been pressed to change his vote during a lunch in 2010 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and **********h Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, now the Emir of Qatar. This claim “has always been denied by Platini,” says The Sunday Times.

Blatter says: “I do not know and I do not want to know if there is a connection between the Qatar World Cup award and what happened next.”

But then the ex-Fifa president notes that Doha “spent billions of euros in France on an aircraft contract and on buying Paris Saint-Germain football club.”https://english.alarabiya.net/en/sp...ost-World-Cup-says-ex-FIFA-chief-Blatter.html

Platini being of Sicilian descent and Juve superstar is a traitor, he stole the 2016 Euro from Italy for France.

Serie A will be broadcast on TSN this season. Al Jazeera didn't have exclusive rights to Italy like they do in Spain, as such Serie A was always the also ran to La Liga. I won't be needing BeIN Sports anymore, save my money.

In the last 20 years, no one has contributed more to climate change than Sepp Blatter. He fixed the draw for the 2022 WC so he could get a handsome kickback. Why is he speaking now? Is he feeling remorseful with the deaths of so many migrant workers on his hands, Pontius Pilate tears he's shedding.

Corrupt SOB should STFU.

I agree he's a POS, him and Platini

Chievo Verona 2 Juventus 3

The Veronese led for much of the match but the substitutions of Cuadrado and Douglas Costa for Bernardeschi and Mandzukic (to a massive roar) was too much for Chievo's defense. Sorrentino made 4 highlight saves on CR7, then got taken out of the game the Portugesh collided with him. Very entertaining match, well worth watching the highlights.

The Mighty Sid mangled Bernardeschi name when he made his Italy rant. Fact is, Freddy could become almost as good as CR7, he has size, speed and shot accuracy. He scored the winning goal. Chelsea tried to get him but Juve wanted 160 Million Pounds.

EDF wasn't satisfied with Roma's hard fought win against Torino.

The match could have ended scoreless or even a Torino win, the match changed when EDF substituted in Bryan Cristante and Jamie Kluivert. The Canadian showed he could be a worthy replacement for Radja Nainggolan at a much younger age and the Dutchman has pace and crossing skills that his father never had.

Sergio Marchionne's workaholic ways lead to his early death. His education is a classic example of this. He gained an MBA in accounting from the University of Windsor. He remained a fellow of The Certified General Accountants of Ontario till the end of his life. Then he gained a degree from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. His first job in the field was as a tax specialist at Deloitte Touche.

In 2017 Marchionne sold the tractor division of New Holland. The move was made to free up greater funds for Juventus. For decades allocation of financial resources was 70 - 30 in favour of F1 Ferrari, now they are on equal footing. This will help Juve resist the poaching of their young players by the blood money clubs. Sergio Marchionne was worth $ 80 Million US when he passed away.

The Special One is wearing out his welcome at Old Trafford and ManU is drawn with Juventus in the opening round of the CL.

What's worse Paul Pogba is behaving like a coach killer. He and Mou don't get along, PP has incredible athletism but he still makes bonehead mistakes. He wants to force a move back to Juve in January but I don't think the zebras are interested. Their midfield is set and you can't justify keeping Dybala on the bench to play the Frenchman as a trequartista. Claudio Marchisio moved to Monaco, there was no place for him in Juve's midfield.

I called it. Barcelona has their awkward draw with Internazionale. Charming Messy gets reacquainted with his Croatian buddies Perisic, Brozovic and Vrsaljko again. Inter are a big physical team, if Barca concede corners they're going to lose.
