Why in the world is the Europa league final on a wednesday

Honestly, they should move the CL Final back to a Wednesday.

No way they'll do that. They'd lose viewership moving it back to a Wednesday. Having it on the weekend means max money and viewers.

Bruma.

Quaresma is lucky he is C dot's boy. If he ain't playing balls outside of the boot he is useless.

Quaresma's outside foot ball is out this world . That and his Rabona

A group of Sporting fans attacked the training complex, because they didn’t get a Champions League spot.
Absolutely disgraceful :thiagofacepalm:

Germany, Spain, Brazil, France, Belgium all have stacked teams... but I don't believe in the management of Brazil, France or Belgium that they have what it takes to beat teams late in the competition when everyone knows how you are going to play and you have to adjust tactics.

Germany doesnt have the best squad, especially if Boateng and Neuer are not 100%, but they have a great set up. Only team I see that can take them on is Spain.

Deschamps has the players but I can sense he's gonna mess it up.

Spain and France are stacked. Germany is ok but some of them are getting up there in age, Brazil has looked more cohesive. Belgium does not belong in that list, they have names people are familiar with but don't possess the same number of star players. They have KDB, Hazard and Mertens while France has way more and have a real selection headache. The problem with both France and Belgium is that they have no leaders on that pitch, France have enough to win on talent alone which is not surprising whn they have Griezman, Pogba,Mbappe,Dembele. Deschamps didn't even know how to make the best out of his midfield at the Euros he ended up with Pogba playing like a 6 and it flopped, Tite knows what his best team looks like in comparison. Spain is surprisingly a sleeper, they have to show that they will get out of the Xavi/Xabi/Villa/Puyol era. I think they look good on paper but like Barca have not really transitioned well out of that era when teams finally figured out how ti play against possession football. They never looked like they were better than France or Germany at the Euros, a midfield of Busquets-Xabi-Xavi-Iniesta is hard to replace and while they still have 2 of that midfield they are not as good without the other players.
