I personally think the title race will be between Man City and Liverpool, both have great squads.

I feel like Chelsea will come third, they played well under Sarri’s new playing style and have brought in a couple good players too.

I think either one of United, Tottenham and Arsenal could finish fourth, but if I had to pick one I’d say Tottenham.

1. Man City, although their only major signings, is Mahrez, and he might not even be a in their starting eleven. I feel it won’t be by as big of a margin this time as their team hasn’t been improved that much and their tactics haven't changed yet.

2. Liverpool, they have good tactics and have made some great signings: Keita, Fabinho, Allison and Shaqiri all joining the team.

3. Chelsea, I feel like Sarri’s playing style and Jorginho as their star signing of the season will do the team well.

4. Arsenal, they made a couple decent signings (Sokratis, Leno, Lichsteiner) so I feel they could do well.

5. United, their biggest signing has been Fred, but he isn’t anything special..

6. Tottenham, they haven’t signed anybody this season yet.

7. Everton, they have made some good signings, Digne and Richarlison will definitely improve the team. Also Richarlison will relieve Sigurosson of his Left Winger role and allow him to play as an Attacking Midfielder which he naturally is.

8. Leicester, they have signed a couple decent players, including Pererira, Evans and Maddison, but they haven’t signed anybody special so far. Mahrez leaving is very bad news for the club though.

9. Wolves, they have made some amazing signings for a newly promoted club, including Patricio, Moutinho and Jota.

10. West Ham, they made a handful of good signings, including Yarmolenko, Anderson, Wlishere, Fabianski and Diop.

Thoughts?

Rank these car manufacturers in order from best to worst, taking into account the quality, luxury, reliability, aesthetics, technology, practicality, safety, power and handling.

In no particular order, here they are: Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, Ford and Lexus.

Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover all originate from, are headquartered in, and are assembled in the United Kingdom.

BMW, Mercedes, Maybach, Audi and Porsche all originate from, are headquartered in, and are assembled in Germany.

All these brands are luxurious, and they make luxury saloons, coupes, four-wheel-drives and/or grand tourers.

How come British and German car manufacturers make very luxurious cars?

Why aren’t Italian, Japanese, French or Korean car manufacturers as good at making luxury cars as the Germans and Brits are?

The only other country that comes even slightly close to Germany and Britain when it comes down to luxury cars is Sweden, buts that’s only because of Volvo, and although Volvo’s are luxurious and can compare against Audi’s and Jaguar’s, they come no where near Maybach’s, Rolls-Royce’s or Bentley’s.

I know for a fact that the EPL, EFL Championship, EFL League 1 and EFL League two are all officially professional football leagues.

What I’m confused about is Semi-Pro leagues though.

I’m guessing the Vanarama National League, Vanarama National South and Vanarama National North are conspired Semi-Pro, as many of the teams have formally played in professional leagues, and it’s not rare for League 2 and League 1 players to go the the Vanarama National Leagues.

I’m guessing everything below is considered Amateur?

Personally, I have always seen Porsche and Aston Martin as sports car brands exclusively.

But earlier on my brother called them a luxury car brand.

I corrected him by saying they make sports cars, but he corrected me by saying both car brands make coupes, saloons and 4x4 cars too.

So, can Aston Martin and Porsche be considered luxury car brands alongside brands like Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, Bentley, ETC or should they be considered sports car brands alongside the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, ETC?

Or are they considered to be both?

Putting aside the different ethnicities and rivalries among the players of the different nations, how well would’ve a team made up of Croatians, Bosnians, Serbians, Montenegrins, Slovenians and Madedonains perform at the 2018 WC?

Goalkeeper choices include Subasic, Handanovic, Oblak and Begovic.

Fullback choices include Srna,Vrslajko, Strinic, Kolorov, Kolasinac and Basta.

Centre-back choices include Corluka, Vida, Lovren, Ivanovic, Nastasic, Savic and Subotic.

Central-Midfielder choices include Rakitic, Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic, Pjanic, Matic, Milinkovic-Savic, Kampl, Fejsa, Ljajic, Badelj and Tadic.

Winger choices include Perisic, Rebic, Visca, Lulic, Kostic, Hallilovic and Marusic.

Striker choices include Mandzukic, Krammeric, Illcic, Jovetic, Dzeko, Ibisivic, Kalinic and Mitrovic.

IMO they would have one of the strongest teams in the competition.

Croatia alone made the finals so I think a Yugoslavia as a whole could go all the way.

Thoughts?

10 years ago Internazionale, AC Milan and Juventus all had amazing teams and all competed for the UCL trophy.

The Serie A was considered one of the best leagues in the world, as it was competitive and had multiple teams competing.

Nowadays the only team capable of competing in the UCL is Juventus. Napoli and Roma make some cameos in the UCL, but they never do that well.

AC Milan and Internazionale have fallen from the top. They use to compete against the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid for the UCL trophy, but nowadays they’re more comparable to French and Portuguese teams like Benfica, Porto, Sporting, Monaco, Lyon and Marseille.

The Serie A is now a one horse race, with Juventus winning it consecutively for years now, and all the other top teams struggle to compete in Europe.

Will the UCL ever get competitive again? Or will it be a one horse race, with Juventus dominating, like how Bayern dominate in Germany or how PSG dominate on France?

What caused it to lose its competitiveness, and how come AC Milan and Inter are no longer able to compete in Europe?

Me and my brother want to start doing more sports since it’s summer.

We are football fans and boxing fans.

We play football all the time, we practise passing, crossing, tackling, skills,etc on each other and we also do 1v1s too, normally one of us is in goal and the other is shooting, or we do penalty shootouts. Currently, we only have a small goal and a few balls.

We are also big boxing fans. We have lots of boxing training equipment, including boxing gloves, a punching bag, headgear and training pads. We frequently train on the punching bag and we use the training pads a lot too, and we spar each other a lot as well.

We recently got into badminton. It’s ideal for us as we have a big garden and we can easily set up the netting at any time.

We are looking into getting a basketball hoop, and doing 1v1s as well as general practise.

We also watch rugby a lot, and we own a rugby ball, but passing can get really repetitive and boring. Are there any competitive 1v1 rugby games we can do in a garden?

So, to recap we already do boxing, football and badminton.

We are looking to get into basketball.

And we want to do more rugby, but we can’t find any 1v1 competive games that are equivalent to penalty shootouts or half court basketball 1v1s.

What else can we do?

By 2022, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Holland will all be back with better and younger squads.

I also feel like Colombia, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico and Chile will all have better squads.

And France, Brazil, Belgium, Croatia and Uruguay will be back with teams just as strong, if not stronger.

And England won’t be as lucky to face weaker teams as they were in this tournament.

Don’t get me wrong, are team has and will keep improving.

But, I feel like we’ll make the Quaters or the 2022 WC at most.

We were so lucky that so many good teams went out so early, and that we didn’t have to face any good teams (until Croatia) in the knockout stage.

I know that they used to show Bundesliga highlights on ITV4, but I believe they don’t show them anymore unfortunately.

The only foreign league I can watch in England for free now is Ligue 1, via the YouTube channel ‘Ligue 1 Conforama Official’.

I would really like to follow other European leagues though.

The Serie A, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, La Liga and Liga NOS in particular.

Are there any YouTube Channels, TV Programs or Websites that I can use to do so? I’m mainly interested in highlights, but anything would do.

All help is welcomed.

Tier 1 (Europe’s big three, who dominate the UCL): Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Tier 1.5 (Knocking on the big three’s door): PSG and Juventis.

Tier 2 (Amazing teams capable of competing in the UCL): Man City, Man United, Cheslea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Dortmund, Atlético.

Tier 2.5 (Knocking on the doorstep of Tier 2): Napoli, Inter, Monaco and Roma.

Tier 3 (Temas capable of winning the Europa League): Benfica, Porto, Sporting, Everton, Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao, Villarreal, Leipzig, Leverkusen, Mönchengladbach, Schalke, Wolfsburg, Lyon, Marseille, AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina.

How far do you agree with this?

When most people think of the best team in Europe, either Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona comes to mind.

These teams have some the worlds best players in every position.

However, I feel like Juventus and PSG can finally compete with them now.

PSG and Juventus all now have amazing teams comparable to Bayern’s, Barca’s and Real’s.

PSG and Juventus look amazing, they could easily beat the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool. Tottenham, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, Dortmund, Napoli, Inter or Atlético.

I seriously think they’ll both have UCL titles soon.

Don’t get me wrong, Bayern, Real and Barca still remain as Europe’s big three, but PSG and Juventus are capable of competing with them now.

As a Chelsea fan, I use to see them on the same level as us, along with Man City, Atlético, Dortmund, Man United ETC but now they feel out of our league,

I have just been told they have been removed from the Europe League?

Also what’s happening with their owner?

Do they plan on making any transfers? Napoli, Roma and Inter are all building up better squads, why aren’t AC Milan?

I predict:

Chelsea

Man City

Liverpool

Tottenham

Man United

Arsenal

Everton

Leicester

West Ham

Crystal Palace

Which cars are the best out of the following:

Mercedes C-Class

BMW 3 Series

Audi A4

Jaguar XE

Volvo S60

Volkswagen Arteon

Alfa-Romeo Giulia

I think that the new Volvo S60 and new Audi A4 are tied as best.

Overall my friendship group doesn’t like sports that much. All we really do is hang around in the fields/woods on the outskirts of our village, we mainly rode quad bikes, shoot pellet guns on hike through the fields and woods.

Me and my brother however like sports. However lots of the sports we like are team sports so they cannot be done with just two people.

We want to find sports where it requires just two people, so we can both partake and so we don’t need to rely on getting other people to play with us.

We both do boxing, where we spar and train together.

We often go running through the woods.

We play badminton, squash and tennis regularly.

We play football, he is usually in goal and I try and score against him, but it gets boring fairly fast.

We also walk our dogs together, we have one each.

What other sports can we do?

How would you rank German car brands in order from best to worst?

First of all, I want to say that I personally think German car brands are all better than average, as all are reliable, quality and respected.

Personally, my list going from best to worst would go:

1. Porsche

2. BMW

3. Mercedes-Benz

4. Audi

5. Volkswagen

Porsche is more of a sports car brand, they’re mainly owned by the super wealthy.

BMW and Mercedes are luxury cars, they’re owned by the Upper-Class, but the people who own them usually aren’t as rich as people who own Porsche’s.

Audi is a semi-luxury car. They’re mainly owned by the Upper-Middle-Class and are still a high quality car.

Compared to other German car brands, Volkswagen is more average. Despite this, Volkswagens are still MUCH more reliable, better quality and more respected than other ‘average’ car brands. They’re mainly owned by the Middle-Class, however some Working-Class families own cheap, old Volkswagens too.

Do you guys agree with my list? If so, what would you change?

Would you agree in these ranks/tiers of upper market designer/luxury clothing brands?

Tier 1: Gucci, Versace, Prada, Louis. Vuitton, Moncler.

Tier 2: Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Armani.

Tier 3: Lacoste, Gant, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s.

Let me know if you agree with this, and if I have missed any brands.

Too European sides like Belgium, Holland, France and England almost always have 4-5 Black or Half Black players in their starting teams, and it’s not unheard of for Italy or Portugal to start with a few too.

A lot of Black players who play for France, England, Belgium, Italy, Holland and Portugal are much better than the best players of African teams.

Why is this? How come European Black players like Pogba, Alaba, Sterling, Ballotelli, ETC are much better than African players?
