Why Bayern are the team to watch for a Harry Kane transfer

Bayern München are in the market for a new No. 9. Everyone knows it. After selling Robert Lewandowski in the summer transfer window to Barcelona so that the Polish superstar could embark upon a new challenge in an effort to obtain more respect for his legacy, Bayern decided to stand pat at striker. Their plan was to use Sadio Mané in the middle just like Liverpool did in the previous season, making him someone the likes of Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman could play off of on the wings. Jamal Musiala and Thomas Müller would support him more centrally. Though there were some promising moments at the beginning, Mané didn't play his best football up top for Bayern. After Bayern moved him back to his best position on the left, he returned to his usual form. Eric Maxim C...

Why Real Madrid don’t make major moves in January transfer market

As the footballing world enters another January transfer market, teams like Liverpool and Chelsea have already made major moves, such as signing Cody Gakpo and Benoît Badiashile, to help buoy their top-four chances. Real Madrid signed a player with even more potential than those two, inking Endrick to an expensive deal that could exceed his 60 million euro release clause if he does indeed fulfill that potential. However, manager Carlo Ancelotti has already publicly ruled out any further winter moves, putting an end to the speculation that Real Madrid could sign a player to give them an edge in the LaLiga title race with Barcelona or in their pursuit of a successful Champions League title defense. Los Blancos could have taken a punt on Cristiano Ronaldo, as there was plenty of spec...

Ranking the 10 best Bundesliga goalkeepers of 2023

Out of all of Europe's top five leagues, the Bundesliga is perhaps most famous for producing top-caliber goalkeepers. Aside from the most obvious star, Manuel Neuer, the league has produced great keepers in other leagues, such as Barcelona superstar Marc-André ter Stegen. Neuer remains a star in goal for Bayern München, but is he No. 1 on our list of the best Bundesliga goalkeepers? And which players join him on the list? Because the Bundesliga's keepers are about so much more than Neuer, as fans saw when Yann Sommer made sensational stops to help Switzerland upset France in the last Euros. 10. Péter Gulácsi, RB Leipzig RB Leipzig will hope Péter Gulácsi returns to top form after recovering from an injury. The Hungarian goalkeeper was once viewed as a sure-fire, top-three player at th...

Ranking the 10 best LaLiga goalkeepers of 2023

Thibaut Courtois and Marc-André ter Stegen get plenty of spotlight - as they should. They are the starting goalkeepers for Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, and the former of the two clearly established himself as the best in the world after helping lead Los Blancos to the Champions League Title last season. But those two superstars aren't the only great goalkeepers in LaLiga worth getting to know. Let's rank the 10 best LaLiga goalkeepers. Courtois and ter Stegen will feature highly, but who is No. 1? And how many surprises are represented on the list? 10. Jan Oblak, Atlético Madrid If this list were made before the 2021/22 season, Jan Oblak would undoubtedly be in the top three. And there was a point before Thibaut Courtois found his best form in the 2019/20 season that...

Here’s why Borussia Dortmund can’t win the Bundesliga

In the last 20 years, Borussia Dortmund have won the Bundesliga just twice. Both of those championships came under Jürgen Klopp in the 2010/2011 and 2011/12 seasons. No club in Germany has been able to end Bayern München's reign of dominance since then, and Die Roten look poised to secure an unprecedented 11th straight Bundesliga title. Every year, a few football fans outside the Bundesliga get their hopes up that Dortmund may challenge Bayern for the title, but BVB fans and astute German football fans know better than to set any expectations. Dortmund is a historic club. They once beat Juventus in a Champions League Final and took down an amazing Real Madrid squad in the Champions League semifinals roughly 10 years ago. Yet it seems like they cannot come anywhere near Bayern year...

How did Juventus become so bad?

At the first international "break" and with six matches played in Serie A, Juventus currently sit 8th in the league they once dominated. Winners of nine straight Scudetti, the Bianconeri are now tied on points with crosstown rivals Torino, and it appears they may be headed for a new nadir in an increasingly competitive Serie A. Italy's top flight was once a guarantee for Juve. Now, it is the most exciting and unpredictable league in Europe's top five, with rivals Inter and Milan having won in the last two seasons. Where was Juventus? In fourth, barely hanging onto a Champions League place both times. And after club legend Paulo Dybala moved to Roma this summer, there's a sense that this could be the year the Old Lady tumbles out of the top four entirely if Juve isn't careful. So h...
