Spurs should benefit from a big reduction in fixtures and travelling. I expect a good season from them;

That likely depends on whether Kane remains at Spurs. He's such a focal point for that club.

Truly, though I think Richarlison can be part of a decent attack, not accounting for how any Kane money is invested. A lot up in the air for Spurs this summer!
It's time for 5 refs.

Maybe that's the problem.
Spurs have a lot of very good players.

I agree Richarlison is fantastic and can't believe how he disappeared from the spurs scene.

Zlatan officially retires from football.
Another great one gone.

Hard to imagine another player like him. Great personality too. He really got the most out of his body and ability playing this late. Will be missed.

He's retired and unretired twice already, could see him do it a few more times. I've seen Zlatan play live a few times in the last 4 years and in all those matches he was a statue man with his team losing. Zlatan is one of those overrated & over marketed Raiola clients IMO - he broke the 30 goal mark just thrice in his career with PSG and LAFC. I think it's perfectly possible for world class players to never win the CL but I don't think that's what happened in his case.

I think it'll be a good competition and probably better than the euros and mens WC.

I'd rather watch an U15 mens game to be honest.
The speed of the women game is just too slow to watch.
I think it would be more watchable if they reduced the pitch size for women.

Since Twitter is blocking guest views now and for those who can't see the tweet, the MLS introduced Sergio Busquets to Inter Miami by mistakenly posting a picture of Alvaro Arbeloa.

No big deal. Most people here don't have a clue who he is & wouldn't recognize him.

Sure, but it's not a great look, and I'm not suggesting it's a high crime that some social media intern working for the league messed up. He's one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and his presence along with Messi and Jordi Alba will help raise the league's profile. At least get his picture right, it's not a lot to ask.
