    EPL
    Champions league
    Europa
    Bundesliga
    Ligue 1
    La Liga
    Serie A
    Eredivisie
    Cups

    Manchester United stink… I follow Mark and the United stand for most of their matches. Everybody hating on Onana, and idk why Mark supports Erik Ten Hag because from an outside perspective his management is suspect.

    EPL table somewhat open to start the new year. Liverpool have picked up a lot of points on 2nd half comebacks. They will likely be in trouble if they count on relying on those results to finish top of the table. Arsenal in a bit of a rough patch going into the heat of the FA cup even though they sit above City on the table.

    Leverkusen have come out strong in the 23/24 season sitting #1 in the Bundesliga above Munich. Something tells me Munich is going to end their current streak some time in the near future. Could it be this year? English Captain and former Tottenham Hotspur Harry Kane has had success with Bayern Munich, but they aren’t the same offensive threat after Lewandowski’s transfer to Barcelona.

    Manchester United losing their group in international play will frustrate fans and hurt the club regardless of their finish in the premier league.

    PSV Eindhoven play Heracles next weekend as Eredivisie play gets back under way. Looking to remain the only undefeated professional club in Europe, currently 16-0-0; Leverkusen is 13-3-0 in the Bundesliga. Aside from these two, clubs in all major groups in European countries have lost at least one game.

    USA captain Christian Pulisic’ AC Milan is currently in 3rd in Serie A. 9 points behind favorites Inter Milan.

    Edit: Worth mentioning that South Korean captain and Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-Min has seized the opportunity from Kanes departure and has been instrumental in Tottenhams current position to contend for the EPL title. Personally, I am a Son Heung-Min fan! I’ll be surprised if Tottenham win it, but not necessarily disappointed.

    I just recently realized that Benzema went to
    Saudi league too. Saudi Arabian Premier league is more “lit” now than it has ever been.

    International soccer, aka football, always adds a special global charm to the beautiful game. It's fascinating to see different styles and talents come together on the pitch. However, my true passion lies in the Premier League – the intensity, rivalries, and sheer thrill of every match are unparalleled. Don't get me wrong, international matches are fantastic, but there's just something about the Premier League that keeps me hooked.
