Right now, Belgium are my favourite big team to get eliminated at the group stage of the World Cup. Something is definitely not right with those dudes. Also, congratulations to O'Neil for finally getting the Bournemouth job on a permanent basis. Though it's just for a year, it's a step in the right direction.

A pulsating encounter ended with a reasonable 1-1 draw. Matchups like that of Spain vs Germany is the reason why the World Cup is the most followed sporting tournament in the world. A tactical battle with a sprinkling of quality. A solid football match!

Saudi Arabia's high line finally exploited by Poland; they largely got away with it against the Argentines. You just don't play a high line against an incredibly smart Lewandowski.

On a more serious note, there is no way Gareth Southgate will ignore Marcus Rashford while the likes of Grealish and Sterling gets on the plane to Qatar. Sancho is a lost cause, a very terrible Elanga is even playing ahead of him.

CR7's new celebration is gradually becoming a thing. I think I'm glad he scored tonight, he would've ripped himself apart if he didn't. United must now go to San Mames and beat down Sociedad right on their own turf.

The plan was to watch a potentially tasty football match between Barca and Bayern. However, with Inter already two goals up against Victoria Plzen, everything has changed. Barca will be eliminated from the Champions League before they play Bayern. They will play for pride, but the match will be nothing but a dead rubber match. I will probably not watch the Barca-Bayern match anymore.

Once again, it ends in a 1-1 draw. The last three games or so between Chelsea and Manchester United have ended same way. Of the last three games, Chelsea have relied on penalties to get their goals on two occasions. Considering how the media always talk about referees favouring Man United during the Fergie era, it's a surprise they are keeping quiet now.

Another disjointed display has seen Liverpool lost all three points to Nottingham Forest. On their day, the Merseyside club is an irrepressible force, but if this mediocre displays continue deep into the season they might as well be playing Europa League next season. The attention now shift to the Chelsea vs Manchester United game, two teams that will undoubtedly profit from this latest Liverpool defeat.

When Ronaldo was signed I was never convinced. The dude was leaving a sinking Juventus ship, a ship he played a part in sinking for Manchester United. I'm not the one for reunions and all, it rarely ends well. With Ronaldo dropped from the weekend squad, football lovers are divided. His fanboys believed he's been treated unfairly. I personally place this blame on the foot of the Glazers and Woodward for signing a fading Ronaldo so as to boost the club's revenue. For me, I want the dude out of United as fast as possible. He's not the one for the future, not even the one for the present!

GW12 deadline is in five minutes. Manchester City and Arsenal blanked. Make your tweaks. #FPL

Karim Benzema won the Ballon d'Or while Robert Lewandowski won the Gerd Muller award for the best striker. Last time I checked, Benzema is also a striker. How can you be regarded as the best player in the world but not the best in your position? That's some weird stuff. Football's individual awards are highly political and hugely upsetting. At least, they got it right this time with Benzema.

A crucial clash at the Camp Nou tonight. If Barcelona fail to win Inter Milan, they will need divine intervention to make it to the Round of 16.

Casemiro at his best: win the ball back, set up a counter. Everton has been incredibly poor since their goal.

£8M Foden is steadily outshining £12M De Bruyne. With Foden, Madison, and Bowen gradually on the rise, looks like we are back to the era of mid-priced midfielders. Foden plays on either aide of the attack for City, Madison and Bowen are their teams most important attackers. With Salah struggling for form, the mid-priced midfielders are doing everything right.

Missed out on the Foden haul last week, had Bernardo Silva instead. Glad I made the swap on time. Foden is definitely a nailed-on starter for City in EPL, capable of playing on either side of the striker. #FPL

Erling Haaland is making goalscoring look ridiculously simple. The dude just can't stop scoring. Before the start of this season, Mbappe was seen as a better goalscorer. But, with the rate at Haaland is scoring right now I think he is ahead. Anyway, it's too early to start the Haaland vs Mbappe arguments.

Camp Nou is Camp Nou! Not Spotify Camp Nou or Bitcoin Camp Nou or whatever silly names those Barca guys selling everything in sight all in the name of generating revenues choose to call it. It will always remain Camp Nou!

Finally, Ward got me some clean sheet points. Leicester are up and running, Nottingham Forest already looked relegation favourites.

It's just 45 minutes at the Etihad but this game is already over. Ten Hag, are you Ole Gunnar Solksjær in disguise? HT: Man City 4:0 Man Utd

De Bruyne is one of the most underrated players to ever play the game of football. Like him or not, he's one of the best midfielders, ever! By the way, I'm swapping Bernardo for Foden right away.

What is happening at Anfield?!😳😳😳 This drop in form is huge, it's much more than selling Sadio Mane. Something is definitely wrong!

Conte with the counter, Arteta with the possession, 1-1 at half time. North London derby always delivers.

Harry Kane aka the scourge of Arsenal should continue his good goalscoring form today. Let's see how Arteta deals with the very tactical Conte. As for the Gunners, this is the second time they're playing a top 6 team this season. Anything less than a win, and I will comfortable assume they won't make the top 4 come the end of the season.

An explosive North London derby to start the new month! This month will be explosively successful.

It's quite funny that Trent Alexander Arnold, one of the best right-backs in the EPL, may not even make the 26 man World Cup squad for England. This is unbelievable.

The women's football league is growing at a reasonable pace across Europe. Though women football will probably never be on the same level as men's, the turnout in recent seasons for women football has been heartwarming. I hope it continues this upward trend.

The Monday ultimatum is fast approaching. In just a little over 30 hours, the window for the Fury - AJ fight will be closed. Will they get the deal over the line before then? For one, I think this deal will be AJ's last big one on the heavyweight boxing stage. Fury is the hot favourite to win this fight - that's if it happens anyway. If AJ loses as expected, he would've lost four fights and lost his status as a top heavyweight boxer too. He will never get another deal as big as this with a title on the line. This is such a tough one for me. I love AJ, but I also know he stands very little chance of winning against Fury. If this fight happens, I won't ping a lot of hope on an AJ win.

Now, this is why I hate watching series that hasn't yet concluded. Been waiting for The Witcher Season 3 to no end. Now, I've got to wait till December for Alchemy of Souls Season 2? This is punishing!😂
