4 wins on the trot against top rated teams. Maybe Man Utd is for real, indeed.
Fired coach Reuben Amorim played 3 at the back and the defence leaked goals. Among the worst in all of EPL. And yet he refused to change
New coach Michael Carrick has resorted to 4 at the back and the difference is glaring.

The other difference is inserting attacking midfielder Kobbie Mainno in the starting lineup.
He rarely featured under Amorim. As a matter of fact, he was nearly traded to Napoli, where ex Man Utd players go to shine

Too early to sing glory days are here again. But a top 4 possibility with a Champion League spot beckoning is heartening.

The Milano clubs have bought 28 hectares of land from Milano city council. San Siro transfers from the municipality to Inter and AC Milan. The move was prompted by Milano losing the 2027 Champions League Final. The Olympics will be its last hurrah.


As a sand salesman, the expanded GTA has some of the finest, I visited San Siro. I couldn't help noticing all the concrete stress fractures on my way to my seat.

Malen has been a good signing for Roma so far.
2 goals today, and 3 in his last 4 games.
We need him in good form for the WC this summer

Stunner today Como beat Napoli in penalties for the Coppa Italia. Its 40 years they didn't get to this spot. They're going to be facing Inter. Weird they didn't have extra time, they went straight to penalties when regular time was over.

Legue 1 and the Bundesliga are being strangled by their top clubs. They have become feeder leagues to PSG and Bayern Munich. In England, it's a different story, the overall economy is eroding yet the football clubs are richer than ever. How have they achieved this?

What does this mean?
The higher the coefficiency ranking, the more Champions L, Europa L, and Conference L. spots you get.
So right now England is the highest, so they get 9 Champions L. spots, and 9 Europa L. spots

Barcelona thrashed by Atletico Madrid in Copa del Rey semifinal first leg 4-0

What a stunner, but Atletico are a very good team.

Good game to watch 2:45 Inter Juventus
What a game, Kalulu is sitting on a yellow card, so Bastoni dives in front of him and gets red carded. Never the less Juve played great with 10 men lots of character. But Inter was unstoppable. Great goal from far from Zielensky. 3-2

It was an awesome Derby di Italia. Felt bad for Kalulu, Bastoni did a perfect Swan Lake.


Here's what the coefficients mean.
