One to watch. Bright young talent out of the Manchester City academy. Introduced as a right fullback but I have a feeling his real talent is as a creative/connective midfielder. https://www.mancity.com/players/rico-lewis

22 year-old Brazilian central midfielder currently playing for Lazio. Doesn't get many minutes but I like this player. Fantastic movement for positioning across the midfield, in defense as much as attack. Wears #6— possibly a tribute to Xavi? A "metronomic" midfielder...

The UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying tournament is a football competition that is being played from March 2023 to March 2024 to determine the 23 UEFA member men's national teams that will join the automatically qualified host team Germany in the UEFA Euro 2024 final tournament. The competition is...

Sharp looking young talent. Very tidy on the ball, good passing vision/technique. Won't be surprised to see him in one of the top leagues in the near future. https://thelaziali.com/2022/06/09/lazio-roma-eye-on-akgun/

The kid's impressive, no surprise Pep is giving him time on the pitch. Goal and assist both excellent in today's FA Cup game. Powerful precise left foot. Has now scored in Carabao Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League. Full name: Cole Jermaine Palmer Date of birth: May 6, 2002 (age 19) Height: 1,82...

This kid is good. Saw some passes he made today vs ManU. Reminds me of Thiago. Heading for a big team soon enough.

This kid is one to watch. Great assist to Haaland today vs Leipzig. https://twitter.com/GrantWahl/status/1274343383977406464?s=20 1274343383977406464

Young goalkeeper for Napoli looks like the real deal and will provide stiff competition for top spot on the Italian national team in coming years. Stopped one penalty today vs Roma and nearly stopped a second, both well taken. First penalty shot at 1:06 here:

Germany youth looking formidable. No headed goals, either! https://www.yoursoccerdose.com/11268054-germany-u21-vs-serbia-u21-euro-u21/#2

Nothing on this yet? Any good teams/games worth watching so far? Most of the highlights I've watched have been pretty dismal stuff.

Keep an eye on this kid. Great shooting technique. Just joined Napoli, scored a beaut of a volley from a Jorginho over the top pass in a friendly. They have a solid depth of forwards going into Champions League: Mertens, Callejon, Insigne, Milik, and now Ounas. For my money, one of the most...

24-year-old Argentine player of Italian descent, key playmaker for West Ham United. As usual, difficult to tell full potential when surrounded by mediocre teammates in a mid/bottom table EPL team, but given his skill, I'd expect him to be a transfer target.

If you don't know this story, it's damn enjoyable and worth a listen. http://www.npr.org/2014/07/11/330681966/the-legend-of-steve-davies An article on the same: http://www.howlermagazine.com/half-time-hero/

ALL matches. Unfortunately, not in real time, but useful to catch those mid-workday early stage CL and Copa matches. https://www.fcbgamepass.com/ http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/barca-2-0/detail/article/barca-gamepass-la-nova-plataforma-de-contingut-audiovisual-a-la-carta-del-fc-barcelona

Expect him to give Jordi Alba plenty of competition for Spain's left back spot. Tidier on the ball than Alba.

Kid looks good, only 19. Was watching him in Man City - Bayern CL game, with Bayern down to 10 men. Some of the vets weren't giving him passes when they should have, so perhaps they didn't trust him in that game. But he looks like another Xavi/Thiago/Gundogan conductor type, moves his head as...

German U-21s looked excellent against Netherlands. Looks like another generation of good talents. I was especially impressed with Amin Younes. Aggressive attacker, loves 1-2 combo runs, not easily bullied off the ball despite his short height.

I was thinking it would be interesting to analyze every Barça goal scored in every non-friendly game this season. Most people look at or remember only the goal scorer, the assist player, and perhaps sometimes a key pass. This is all that shows up in stats, but often (and especially with Barça)...
