What were you guys expecting on friendlies ? Playing their eleven that will play on champions league ?
This is purely friendly and there is nothing at the end of it. I mean juventus and real madrid may play semi decently if they want to because of all ronaldo thing that happened but aside from that game there will be no games that will be the starting eleven playing for the teams.
These are friendlies that teams usually do two things, either play their young guys so they can get some minutes or play their starters so they can get some conditioning.

Yeah, Buffon didnt have much to do in the first half and after like 6mins after the first goal by Bayern, he gets subbed off for a young French Goalie Descamps. 2nd half was great but the first half was boring. Cant wait for other matches in the International Champions Cup.Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund next.
I had missed Buffon being subbed, so when Sanches scored from the free kick, I was really surprised - "How did Button not save that!?" Should have been a fairly easy save for the best goalkeeper in the world - then I realised it wasn't him.
How did Buffon perform? He is one of my favorite goalkeepers 
Bayern took advantage of Buffon's old age by purposefully playing terribly for 60 minutes, after which he fell asleep. Once he was asleep, they scored a quick goal and then he was subbed off to finish his nap.

And we got the first over 2.5 goals match of the tournament yay! Betting on goals can be very tricky in these tournament games, because the managers are experimenting with the first squad and usually give rarely used players a chance to play so you never know what they will come up with before the kick-off. I couldn't watch the match today and now saw that Buffon started for PSG and was substituted in the 2nd half after Bayern scored the equalizer. Has anyone watched the match? How did Buffon perform? He is one of my favorite goalkeepers
Tomorrow's game is Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund. I am not sure what to bet here - the odds for over 2.5 goals are 1.65 while both teams to score is priced at 1.55. I will wait for the starting lineups to be available first before doing anything.

Renato Sanches looked great today, althought it was obviously against PSG's B team. If he can keep that up though, instead of the inconsistency of last season, he will get more first team minutes. Good for him.
It's strange to see Buffon not in a Juve shirt.

Yeah, the Man City team was unrecognizable.
Not surprising, did you see the starting XI? bunch of youngsters except for Mahrez and Sané, I'm surprised they lost 1-0, I expected a bigger score since Dortmund was playing with a lot of first team players. Btw, I only watched the first half but, Pulisic is such a good player, he should go to a bigger team.Bayern vs PSG in a few minutes. I couldn't find PSG's lineup, but Bayern is going to play with some subs, plus some first team players like Ribery, Robben, Javi Martínez, Bernat, Rafinha, Ulreich (Alaba, Coman and a lot of unknown players on the bench). I believe this is Niko Kovac's first match with Bayern.
Yeah, the Man City team was unrecognizable. They rested every one of their World Cup players. The only real big players on the field for them were Mahrez and Sane despite 7 substitutions. Strange that Pep would play Hart since he's gonna be leaving soon.
So, Borussia Dortmund, surprisingly or not, defeated Manchester City 1-0 with a penalty scored by Goetze in the first half of the match. Honestly, I expected there would be more goals in that opening game, by both teams at least. City had their substitute team out on the pitch though, so maybe that was the reason they couldn't score. A little bit underwhelming result for the people who wanted to bet on over goals.
Today we have the 2nd match of the tournament, Bayern Munich vs PSG. The odds are interesting - Bayern win @ 1.57, draw @ 4.33 and PSG win @ 5.00. The lineups will be available later today and I am very curious to see who the starting 11 are going to be for both teams. Bayern are heavily favored and looks like many of the PSG's stars will be having a break.

Usually this tournament has made many people lose money as the teams go there with their reserve players and with only two or three players from A squad. I would be extremely careful to bet on this tournament money line results although Over/Under should be more easy to win here.
Not only reserve players but also for a coach to try a new tactics and strategy to try on that match and new players to addapt with the team, the result will be different. That's why i never bet which team will win but only over goals.I think I only want to watch the match without making any bet and I think it is better for me to give my money to my friend which is familiar with each team so he can know which team that has a big chance to be a winner. sometimes I do this and I join with my friend so we can place the bet together. be careful when you want to place a bet and make sure that you have a good info about the team.

Yeah, it's too risky to bet on these games. World Cup ended less than a week ago and big clubs will give some time to rest to their star. In this tournament we will see many players from reserve teams. After World Cup these matches wont be very exciting to watch, but it will be interesting to watch young players. And offcourse, we will see some stars playing due to commercial reasons.In other news, Becker signs for Liverpool.
And now LFC have most expensive CB and goalkeeper in the world. €75m for goalkeeper. Insane.
US edition starts today with Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund at 21:05 ET (01:05 UTC), and the European edition starts tomorrow, with Bayern Munich and PSG at 10:05 ET (14:05 UTC).

Mahrez handed a transfer request to Leicester in January, but I guess City didn't want him at the time. And I think he knows he won't be part of the starting XI, maybe he more was interested in the pay rise 
More money for less work. Can't really blame him living the dream. Wonder if he's just going to use a season at City as a stepping stone to somewhere else.
Is this the article: http://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2018/07/12/5b465f2be5fdea07178b4608.html
yeah, that one.Anyways, we have the first match next Friday: Man City vs Dortmund. Maybe we'll see Mahrez playing a few minutes.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about Mahrez's transfer.
Good to see him move - his talent is wasted at Leicester City. Don't understand why he didn't move earlier, and I really don't understand why he's gone to Man City. In a squad with KDB, Dilva, Bilva, Fernandinho, and Sane also in midfield, and Pep in charge, he is likely going to be frequently rotated. He could have picked from 10 other clubs and guaranteed himself a first squad place.
International champions cup, interesting, I am counting on clubs with less players that participated in the just ended worldcup to win this one
Yeah I read in the news today that Ronaldo will not be taking part in the US tour. He was in Greece on vacation with his family and reportedly the Juventus boss flew there to iron out the last details of his contract. Cristiano must have been very satisfied with his stay in Greece as he left a

Yeah I am curious to know if Ronaldo is going to play for Juventus in this cup. It would be the perfect time for Juventus to show their newly signed superstar. But I think Ronaldo will be probably vacationing and won't be included in the squad, because after the strenuous La Liga season, the record-breaking Champions League win and playing in the World Cup he needs a lot of rest in order to be able to give his 100% for Juventus in Serie A next season. What's more, Real Madrid are playing against Juventus on Sunday August 5th in Washington so if Ronaldo is going to show up at least once it's definitely going to be in this one against his former team
I think Juventus fans(other than me) would be super pissed if they don't let Ronaldo play. They have created so much hype, Ronaldo's arrival to Turin has been a delight apparently. And Ronaldo is also happy taht he moved to Juventus. I want Ronaldo to show up against Madrid, and worst of all, be in a different club and not have his best friend, Marcelo around. The chemistry is broken people. I read somewhere that he's not going to play against RM. I can't remember the link to the article but it said that C.Ronaldo will start training with Juventus on the 30th this month, and the match vs Real Madrid is 5 days later so he won't have enough time to prepare for this match. I think this (longer vacations and late arrival to trainings) applies to all the players involved in the World Cup knockout stages, like Matuidi and Mandzukic in Juventus, could be the same in other clubs.
About the tournament, I'm looking forward to it. It's probably the most interesing pre-season tournament in the world, though I don't like it when the teams start making 11 substitutions or more in the 2nd half of the games. And I feel like this tournament should be an official tournament, just imagine a super league with Europe's best teams
Anyways, we have the first match next Friday: Man City vs Dortmund. Maybe we'll see Mahrez playing a few minutes.
