Spain annoys me. They are playing better than last 4 years with Del Bosque. But they are unable to shoot from far. It really annoys me, they never shoot.

How's Asensio from longer range? He scored some crazy stuff early on in the season, but then went quiet altogether. Is he actually capable of scoring from range consistently?

Of course he's just one guy who you might not have in your starting 11 anyway, so not necessarily the greatest solution there.

They have plenty of players that can shoot, its more a case of for some reason they just dont.

German football magazin Kicker is reporting that Thomas Tuchel is going to be the next coach for Arsenal. They are usually not your "Let's make up a rumor" kind of newspaper.

Mislintat didn't like him at dortmund. Bundesliga is just boring for many top players and top coaches.

The top 6 contest of PL must look pretty delicious if you're a manager wanting to prove your worth. As much as La Liga has good stuff in it too, it's still a 3 horse race at best.

Is it really any different in the PL? Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal were never really seen as anything more than outsiders for the title.

this season maybe. arsenal has spent time at the top of the table in previous seasons, spurs have contested for a bit before also. in the end it may be the same 3 teams at the top but the league at least has some other names at the top of the table once in a while. la liga will never have a team at the top that isnt barca, rm or atletico

I tried to dig up some preseason odds for winning the league.

https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/soccer/soccer-odds-pre-season-favorites-in-europe/

As far as I can tell, it's considered far more likely that Arsenal wins PL than it is for Atletico to win La Liga. Also, La Liga has had the same top 3 teams for the last 5 seasons and out of those 5 seasons and only one - the Atletico's championship season - hasn't had Barca and RM as top two.

I don't think PL is totally even or anything, but it's still far more even than La Liga has been at any point in the recent history.

Haha what's happening.

We're beating Portugal in Portugal with 0-3 at half time. De Ligt in absolute beast-mode. Kid's 18 years old and is already one of the best central defenders in the world. He's gonna be a world beater.

It's in Geneva. And I hope this ends up 6-0 to see if our manager wakes up and start calling the players that are actually in good form instead of the guys that won the euro just because.

I completely hate this transfer. Horta is really talented and should get a real opportunity in Benfica instead of being sold for pocket change compared to what he is really worth

Portugal play is awful to watch right now...

No creativity, no dribbling, no tactics, no offensive power, no defence. Portugal is looking like just a bunch of players roaming the field.

I wonder how Cristiano Ronaldo feels to not have a single team mate up to his level to make things actually happen...
