Girona will want to finish the season with a good win today. They've controlled most of the play in the opening 25 minutes but are yet to find the back of the net against Granada. -
Ukraine Name Euro 2024 Squad
Michael replied to Dave's topic in Group E - Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine
I am generally happy with the squad selection. Players like the young forward Sikan, who has really improved might be disappointed that he wasn't selected. But then again Vanat has arguably played better than Sikan this season, so it wasn't really surprising that Vanat was called up as the 3rd centre forward behind Dovbyk and Yaremchuk. There are other back-up players who had a good shout at making the squad who weren't chosen, but ultimately the players Rebrov the manager has chosen are just as good. The main thing is that all the key players were selected. The depth in the team looks as strong as it has ever been. The creative quartet of Tsyhankov, Sudakov and Mudryk, supporting La Liga's leading scorer Dovbyk, looks a mouth watering prospect. If the attacking players pick up form and play to their potential at the Euros, they could do some serious damage. I also hope that the left-back Mykolenko recovers from his injury in time to play. While Zinchenko needs to improve his fitness issues and get back to playing how we all know he can play. All in all, it looks a very strong squad that Rebrov is taking with him to Germany. -
Great fight. I had Usyk winning the first 3 rounds, then Fury had rounds 4, 5 and 6. Fury really bullied Usyk in round 6, using his size to his advantage. But Usyk went for the jugular in round 9 and incredibly started to smash the giant Fury. It was an incredible turnaround of events, where Usyk caught Fury sweet on the nose. Fury got rocked and had the old wobbly legs. He was lucky he was saved by the bell, a few more seconds and Usyk would have gotten the KO. I thought Usyk won the rest of the rounds. Fury at the end saying that they gave Usyk the win because of the war is a bit pathetic. I thought Usyk won fair and square and nearly knocked out Fury in the 9th. Its worth remembering that they are both elite heavyweights, but that Fury is 6 inches taller. Usyk shut those up who said the much bigger man always wins, when you have 2 elite fighters. This was a great win for Usyk and a great win for Ukraine. Usyk definitely came for Fury, as he promised he would and he delivered the goods.

Fury v Usyk has to be the biggest heavyweight fights in ages. They are both undefeated and are both extremely skilled boxers who are at the top of their craft. This will be one excellent fight to watch. I honestly can't pick a winner. Although I'd want Fury to win against most other opponents because he is a fellow Brit, I would prefer Usyk winning here. Usyk is the ideal role model and professional if ever there was one and his skills in the boxing ring are a joy to watch. Either way, I can't wait for tonight's fight. May the best man win tonight.

It was great to see Lomachenko dominate Kambosos and KO him in the 11th round. It just goes to show that Lomachenko is still an elite boxer in his weight division. Loma was really unlucky with the controversial decision that went against him when he fought Haney. But rumours have it that after this sensational win by Lomachenko, that his next fight could be against Gervonta Davis. That would be a hell of a fight if it happens, but my money would be on Loma.

German Football - General Talk
Michael replied to nudge's topic in German Football Forum - Bundesliga
I see lol I just hope the fat fker is ready for the Champions League Final, possibly the biggest match of his career. Vinicius Junior and Bellingham will have a field day against Sule if he turns up at Wembley in this shape. He will need to lose that weight quickly over the next 2 weeks. -
Southampton won that match pretty easily, West Brom were 2nd best. It was an easy win for the Saints, similar to how Leeds won easily yesterday. It should be a good final between Leeds and Southampton. I'd prefer Southampton to get back into the Premier League, but I can see Leeds winning the play-off final. Leeds look very strong to me and they have several very good players in their team. It should be a cracking final though, as both these sides have played very well this season.

So that's why he wasn't selected for Germany's Euro squad!) When is his expected due date? Or has he just been on the doughnuts? -
I'd like Southampton to win this evening against West Brom and to even win in the final. It would be nice to see Southampton back in the Premier League. However, I think that it is Leeds who will be promoted. Leeds just look the strongest side out of all the teams in the play-offs.

Hungary Announce Euro 2024 Squad
Michael replied to Dave's topic in Group A - Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland
This is the squad I pretty much expected Marco Rossi to take to Germany. The only other players who maybe should have been selected are Zsolt Kalmar and Andras Nemeth. But Kalmar is injured, so that's why he couldn't be selected. Nemeth on the other hand has had limited playing time at his club side Hamburg and the youngster is much more inexperienced compared to the other centre-forwards that Rossi has selected in the squad. Those are probably the 2 main reasons why Rossi didn't select Nemeth, although I personally think Nemeth should have been selected. This Hungarian side does look like a very tough team though and I don't think any side will find it straight forward against them. Orban and Szalai will be important players in defence once again no doubt, just as they were at the last Euros. While Szoboszlai and Schafer will be the key men in midfield, who should be the main creative forces in the team. Roland Sallai is another attacking threat to really look out for as well though. Sallai's scoring record for Hungary is quite impressive. -
Germany will be hoping that Angus Gunn starts as Scotland's 1st choice keeper when Germany play Scotland in the opening match of Euro 2024. His father was a much better goalkeeper.

Never really rated Sargeant, even when he was at Werder Bremen.
