It captures one's imagination, to train and develop youngsters, Alena, Arthur, de Jong. The latest also seems to be a gifted young player. But let's keep in mind that Eredivisie is more and more weaker and being a star there is no longer a guarantee that someone will shine if choose a more...

Here he is! The best player during WC. I know that he was not so much impressive, so much visible on the pitch, however Atletico came out of him completely - was very intelligent, responsible, cunning, his goals and assists were always crucial. And the thing that let you get to know who the real...

... The verdict on their 16/17 season. To talk about Sandro as a decent striker, he has to reaffirm himself next season. Cases like this happened so many times and I'm really surprised that such firm opinions can be made on a player like Sandro ;). Pretty interesting how he can handle at Sevilla...

I'm not sure if changing a club after a year of regular playing is a good idea. Borja Baston was more stunning at Eibar and vanished without a trace at Swansea. So, I would rather recommend him to stay here and confirm his class. I am curious what a player he is - at Barca He mostly failed.

Piotr Zielinski to Napoli for 20 mln euro (transfermarkt)

This deserves a big lol, but on the other hand... :) http://www.ajaxdaily.com/2016/milik-joins-napoli-for-e35-million/

Almost every team during the tournament suspended a style and play pragmatically. Portugal played ultra-offensively against Iceland, Hungary, Austria (no one had so overwhelming advantage over rivals in the group stage), hovever against Croatia they built a wall. I am not sure that Germany or...

An extension to 32 is not a bad idea. I'm not sure that The Netherlands, Denmark, Serbia, Bosnia, Greece, Montenegro lower a current standard. In Europe the formula of 24 or 32 is the same in this regard. The problem is a possibility of promotion from 3rd, which promotes mediocrity and playing...

Has no one noticed that the brackets look the way they do only because some teams presented themselves above expectations, and the other below? England and Spain have chosen their fate themselves on the pitch. If every team had reached the level of expectations we would have something like this...

You are talking on the last match and I about the last 2 years, so it will be difficult to match our testimony :(. Binding Romania with Greece 2004 or describing it as a dark horse is not my invention, but a prediction made ​​in BBC or Eurosport. Of course, after the game everyone is a...

I do not expect scoring more than twice than somebody did from Romania, because they do not have adequate human resources to chase in this regard. Who would do this? The trio from Steaua Popa-Chipciu-Stanciu (btw, the last one should find himself and make progress in the West). Rusescu proved in...

Disastrous is or was in their last match? In my opinion it is the best Romania team in the 21st century and there must be a reason for which they were drawn from the first pot in WC 2018 qualifying (regardless of the FIFA methodology you still need to win games). Generally speaking, it is a team...

They made the same mistake as Ukraine - worked their guts out in the first match with a rival with which they could play the best game on EURO and still lose. Switzerland in a match against France or Poland against Germany had more sense. As a result, Poland and Switzerland will meet in the...

They have won, but I do not change my mind that there is nothing that ties and nothing that binds all that great individualists into one team. Still they lack developed mechanisms that may be switched at any time, lack the team where everyone knows his mission on the pitch (Germany, Spain...

I am glad with this direction and Bartra should feel the same. Borussia needed a Hummels's profile player and they got it comparatively cheap so they have to be satisfied as well. A general unease with estimating Bartra is related with irregular games and a lack of self-confidence. Now he has...

Barca need someone who can dominate right side. Cuadrado will be perfect. His dribbling ability ties at least 2 defenders and forces opponent to loosen lines. I guess He won't defend worse than Alves (who's assisted by Rakitić and gives nothing in the offence). What is more, He is tireless.

Koke does not fit Barcelona. He likes to build up quick actions, crosses, long balls. He shows nothing under del Bosque, which was an easier place to show up than Barca. I meant the way Barcelona are playing is far more tiki-taka style than Spain. From Atletico, the only one who has enough...

Nope. They are quite similar players, typical b2b - good stamina, strength, shoot, cover... But they are not architect and never will be. The way Barcelona are playing, especially Xavi's position is extremely difficult. You need to make an option to pass the ball to you, holding on it and create...

Samper would be a great replacement. He is too good for playing as a CDM. He is 'Iniestoxavibusquets'... or Pirlo. Give him a bodyguard and he will show more in the offense.

To be honest, Poland played much worse against Germany than Costa Rica against Italy, England, Uruguay or Netherlands. They still not have a tactic - can`t thicken the midefiled or don`t get back after counter-attacks. It looks really bad. Victory had happened only thanks to amazing luck and...
