    Bruno might be a Premier League Legend after this season

    Bruno Fernandes is the best player in the Premier League right now, and no one can dispute this. Bruno was the Player of the Season last year and is now the holder of the most assists in the Premier League in a season.  Bruno didn’t have a good World Cup tournament, though his tactics in…

    Arsenal showed that they can retain the Premier League title

    The Premier League is back, and Arsenal played their first game against Coventry City.

    The destination is Barcelona for Rodri

    Rodri has sealed a move to Barcelona as the Spanish giant has reached an agreement with Manchester City to sign the defensive midfielder.

    Selling Myles Lewis-Skelly would be a big mistake

    The signing of Bruno Guimaraes for £75 million earlier this month has put Lewis-Skelly at the bottom of the pecking order.

    Europe’s rejects who are giving the MLS recognition on the global stage 

    In the last decade, MLS has become the destination for European players nearing retirement.

    Amorim’s mojo has disappeared, and he would be the first manager to be sacked in Europe

    Amorim has been a shadow of himself since he left Sporting for Manchester United. He lost 23 games in 63 matches and had one of the worst records in Manchester United’s history. His sacking was inevitable as he left key players out of the squad and justified to us that these players weren’t good enough.…

    The WAFCON – the tournament that nobody knows or talks about

    After a long men’s FIFA World Cup in North America, a lot of football fans are getting sick of international matches, and they want to get to watching club football.  CAF hosting a tournament during a World Cup season is bizarre because they know that no one was going to watch the women’s African Cup…

    The commercialisation of football through hydration breaks

    The announcement of the hydration break was met with a lot of boos, and fans thought that it would slow the game down.  To some extent, it has taken away from the full game experience, but in some cases, the hydration breaks have been a marketing tool to boost revenue and increase sponsorships in football. …

    Will Mohamed Salah transform the Turkish Super Lig?

    Mohamed Salah has signed for Trabzonspor on a free transfer. A deal that is worth £14.5 million a year in wages. At the end of last season, it looked like Salah had many options to join other clubs, and he felt he still had the talent and legs to compete with some of the best…
