Al-Hilal game was definitely an important one and it has proven to the world that Saudi league is going so well, they did well, but it also proved that MLS team that did terrible and not even joined playoffs last season, had a close game with Saudi league leaders, which means Miami may actually do a lot better this season. After this game, I am sensing that Miami will be AT LEAST at playoffs, if they are this close with Al Hilal, then they should be better than most teams at MLS without a doubt.

The real game will be soon, Al-Nassr, people from all around the world are flying over to watch that game, it could be one of the most watched friendly game in the world, we will probably see the very last Ronaldo vs Messi ever.

Did you place a bet on the friendly match?
It usually happens that in friendly matches the results will not be as desired. Moreover, these matches tend to be more for commercial purposes. Of course, anyone who buys a ticket to watch the match wants to be entertained by what they see.
The case will be different if you bet on a friendly match. just avoid betting on friendly matches in the future.

It is evident that there have been discussions between Mourinho and a Saudi Pro League club, where he is considering becoming their new coach. The condition for this agreement is that he would receive substantial funds to rebuild the team's players. Namely al qudsiah. Mourinho has been rejecting the first offer from al shihab but he is willing to be a new coach for al qudsiah which has been also agreed to give him a lot of money to rebuild the club again. Mourinho is not likely staying in the european competition again after he had been reaching an agreement with al qudsiah. We will be seeing him to go to the saudi pro league soon. Even though he will be joining in the non popular team but i think that his fans will be obviously following where he goes next.

The bad thing if some players were exodus from SPL back to the european competition again and this is also hurting the reputation from SPL. I would like to see that how successful he will be on the saudi pro league team. We have seen him achieved so many trophies in the european competition.
Im hoping that he will be showing that if he is still worthy enough to be considered as a coach too. It's really saddened me to see that no european club was wiling to hire him as a new coach.

I would like to see newcastle to perform even better by hire him as a new coach but it seems impossible to happen soon.

Anything to tarnish Messi will make you sleep well right!
How is Al Hilal are better than Inter Miami, just because of a goal difference, did you even watch that match and see how Messi was making that match entertaining and fun for everyone to watch? That's why it was called a friendly match, it is to entertain people what Footfall is all about and not to kick someone's leg or injure anyone, the match was soft and sweet. Inter Miami weren't even doing much, it was Al Hilal that were trying to prove string hold since they are the host.


You should have check bookmakers just before the match, you will understand more better that even them are aware of how friendly matches are, the odds were crazy high and they were just set up just to get money from people. I will also say that of all the friendly match I have watch this leg of the seasons, this is the one I enjoyed the most, even Al Hilal welcome Messi with their two arms, don't know how Al Nasr fans will react to seeing Messi

Friendlies matches for me are pure trash, no way i see one, its a complete nonsense, and more when is full for show like this one, where a company put ton of money to bring a "funny" to a exotic part of the world, or to broadcast a magic game who never gonna happen in real life.

Al hilal has been so wasteful in this match. Many chances were missed and al hilal was able leading the game but it looks weird to see that how al hilal defenders were always trying to use off side trap against intermiami. Miami has been scoring a few goals which were disallowed due to the offside.
It's amazing to see how mitrovic was always scoring for al hilal. No doubt that he has been one of successful transfer by saudi pro league after ronaldo. His ability and positioning were helping him a lot to score as many goals as possible for the club.

This match is quite good caused by both of clubs are playing offensively. No doubt caused by this is only friendly match but i hope i will see intermiami to face al nassr again caused by i really miss to see messi to play against al nassr.
Both of teams were showing good performance during the game and they need to be fully appreciated too. messi was scoring through penalty and it's good enough.

I hope this news is true because all of us here are definitely looking forward to the match between C.Ronaldo and L.Messi. And it is reported that C.Ronaldo did not suffer any serious injuries. so it is very natural that he has recovered and might be ready for the match against Inter Miami.

Sadio Mane is indeed absent because he plays for the Senegal national team in the Africa Cup of Nations. But unfortunately Senegal lost in the round of 16 today to Ivory Coast. So I hope Sadio Mane can play for Al-Nassr in the match against Inter Miami. Because his duties with the Senegal National Team have also finished now. But he will indeed need rest. But who knows, he might actually come and play for Al-Nassr.

Yes, if Benzema officially leaves the Saudi Arabian League, this will definitely become popular news again and will definitely have a slightly negative impact on the Saudi Arabian League.
But until now there is no certainty about Benzema's fate in Saudi Arabia or more precisely at Al Ittihad. Because if you look at his contract with Al Ittihad, Benzema still has a long way to go there. However, currently there is a lot of news about Benzema who is said to want to leave Al Ittihad. I don't know what exactly was the trigger that made Benzema uncomfortable at Al Ittihad. The reason is that there is an opinion that says that Benzema does not feel at home at Al Ittihad because he is not comfortable with the culture and environment in Saudi Arabia. There are also those who say the reason Benzema doesn't feel at home at Al Ittihad is because he doesn't get along with the coach. And what's even more confusing, Benzema himself denies all of this. So basically the news about Benzema that is currently spreading is very confusing.

In fact, I also saw a news story about Benzema again, and the content of the news stated that Benzema was reported to be moving to another club in the Saudi Arabian league (SPL).

This news also cannot be completely believed. Because even though Benzema is very close to Ronaldo, currently Al Nasr is full of very great players. So I think for now Al Nasr doesn't need new players. But even so, it doesn't rule out the possibility that, for example, Benzema could be withdrawn by Al Nasr. Because this will definitely bring back old memories of Ronaldo and Benzema when they were still in Madrid. And Benzema and Ronaldo fans will definitely like this. But this is still just speculation. So it's still far from reality.

I agree with you that Al Hilal is much better than Inter Miami and of course this friendly match provides clear evidence that MLS football is actually still far behind the SPL.
But it all thanks to the SPL which succeeded in bringing in many great players which changed everything, with the presence of various European players it has advanced Saudi football further with very significant increase in the quality of play.
Moreover, if look at the line-up of players, the significant differences can be seen very clearly, Al Hilal this season is the strongest team in the SPL and with full performance Al Hilal has not only proven to be the strongest for the SPL but can also compete with other team such as Inter Miami.
And Inter Miami itself is one of the big MLS teams, they have Messi who is the player with the best nickname but in reality they are still unable to win against team like Al Hilal.

He's coming then he is now also moving again. Benzema is always making everything being very complicated like mbappe. I don't even like this transfer drama that is taking very long time to be solved. I would like to see him play in the premier league and people are also awaiting for the good news that will come from him.
I hope that if there will be an update regarding the development from benzema's trasnfer saga as soon as possible. it's quite boring to wait that even longer than what i thought. Im feeling so happy with him to leave from ittihad caused by he will be finding a good team to play.

The report has not yet confirmed and any news has not yet published regarding the further development of his transfer. We may be seeing a small update regarding this after the transfer season has been officially closed very soon.
Benzema needs to hurry in deciding on which club he will be continue to play as a striker. I would like to him see join in the big club in EPL. It's caused by benzema never plays in the EPL. It will give him a new challenge as well.

Benzema needs to clarrification regarding the future of him in the club.

Al Hilal is better than Inter Miami. The results of this match allowed many football observers to assess the impact of many big players who have played in European leagues.
Mitrovic's 4-3 victory against the Bekcham club can be used as a good sign that the Saudi Pro League team is not a team to be underestimated, even if it is only a friendly match.
Players like Messi, Suarez, Busquet and Jordi Alba were no longer good when they were younger than their current age.

I even applauded Al-Hilal in that match. Because they have shown world football that the SPL is more difficult than people out there thought. And Inter Miami felt it in that match. Inter Miami played quite well but in the end Al-hilal won the match quite brilliantly. But I also praise the effectiveness of the attack that Inter Miami built. They converted the chances they got into goals. Messi is still a good player but age has made him not as good as when he was younger. Now I can't wait to watch the Inter Miami vs Al-Nassr match. Maybe a draw could happen considering that Al-Nassr is not as good as Al-Hilal.

And the good news for Al-Nassr is that Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have recovered and can return to playing. So the match between these two legendary players looks like it will go according to schedule. I don't care who will win because I really miss the meeting of these two great players.

But the bad news is that several important Al-Nassr players will be absent because they are away playing for their respective national teams in the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations. Sadio Mane will not play either. Yes, this could slightly weaken Al-Nassr's attack line but I'm sure the excitement will still be maintained.

Very exciting match between Al-Hilal and Inter Miami, of course as the current standings champions in the Saudi League, Al-Hilal put out their best performance and of course won the match with a score of 4-3 and of course this victory brought good news to Al-Hilal fans and of course Aleksandar Mitrovic also scored a goal in the match against Inter Miami.  Malcom also scored a goal against Inter Miami. Of course, like A.Alhamddan and Michael also scored goals and Al-hilal really showed his prowess in the Friendlies league against Inter Miami.

Inter Miami is of course also very great because even though they lost, it was only a narrow score and Messi's performance was very good and he also scored a goal, even though it was a penalty goal, but Messi's performance in the match against Al-Hilal was very good. I think Jorge Jesus must be very proud of his team's win against Inter Miami. but honestly the Inter Miami oppose Al-hilal match was very entertaining. and I want to immediately see inter miami against Al-nassr and want to know whether Al-nassr will be able to win the match or not. But in the next match, I think there will definitely be fierce competition because after seeing Al-Hilal against Inter Miami, I see that Inter Miami's performance is very good. I think Luis Castro must make a good strategy and formation.

It is said that Benzema cannot adapt to the country. This is a situation that can happen to any player because Saudi Arabia is a very different league compared to Europe. There are different people and cultures, naturally football players may fail by not achieving the results they want. Adaptation to the country is the most important thing in transfers. Benzema wants to leave the team because he could not achieve this, not because he has doubts about the quality of the league.

Benzema joined Saudi Professional League when he still played well for Real Madrid and his position in Real Madrid was still solid. It is big different than Cristiano Ronaldo who completely lost his position in Manchester United. Benzema got some injuries and had less appearances for Real Madrid in his last season for them but their performances in Saudi Arabia are different, Ronaldo is excellent and Benzema is bad.

They anyway contributed to make Saudi Professional League more famous and helped them to attract some more star players from Europe in the last summer.

I knew about that rumor months ago but I believe it is impossible for UEFA to accept a club from non European countries to join Champions League. If they do it, they will have to pick like a champion of AFC Champions League, not arbitrarily choose a club from Saudi Professional League. It will cause a lot of noise and UEFA will hardly to handle this because it is clearly unfair for other clubs in Asia.

This match really give me a lot of excitement as Al-Hilal won the match because the are the strongest club in Saudi Premier league which I don't expect them to lose like that, I enjoy watch the game it was so interesting and this will serve as awareness to many fan to know that Ronaldo his really trying in SPL to even maintain the second in the table, Al-Hilal are very capable of holding that because of their consistent and good performance, they dominanted every good thing in the table like points and goals. Inter Miami have really trying and played a very beautiful game but Messi fan will understand how hard Ronaldo is playing in saudi

It appears that Al-Shabab will have to be patient as Miguel Almirón will remain with Newcastle this half-season. Al-Shabab have offered just £17 million which is a far cry from Newcastle's £30 million asking price. Al-Shabab may not have much money as they are finalizing the transfer of Ivan Rakitić from Sevilla. Of course this condition makes the Al Sabei coach have to think hard, because until now they are only at number 11 of the provisional class.

Commercial effort only in the friendly match between Al Hilal vs Inter Miami although the match started with most interested both teams high intention before Al Hilal won over 4-3. Its moment for Saudi Pro League team on the break out moment due AFC Asian Cup for one month and get benefit how to earn much money when getting friendly match with Lionel Messi team. After facing Al Hilal, Inter Miami have one friendly match against Al Nassr and this most excited match waiting for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo fans.
I don't sure with Inter Miami vs Al Nassr match Lionel Messi will play on the first minutes, he played 88 minutes against Al Hilal and three days later will have another match facing with Cristiano Ronaldo team. Have bad impact if Inter Miami not play Lionel Messi on the first minutes because many fans expected to see again between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi which one have better performance for that match,  will Ronaldo can beat Messi in this match although as friendly match only?

New signings and putting the team in a dilemma of evicting and retaining one out of two options. When the situation happened with Ronaldo, it was said that it's cos of his influence, money and capacity. Now it's Benzema's turn, what will be said. For me I'd blame Saudi league because the teams are trying all their possible best to be recognized. Al Nassr before Ronaldo joined weren't heard about. All of a sudden, they're talked about occasionally.

 It's rumoured that the league wants to secure a spot in the UEFA champions league and they shouldn't be blamed for doing all it takes to make meaning.They'd rather do away with those that doesn't really matter and retain those that actually do matter. It's kind of life's lifestyle. No doubt every team there, if in that situation will do the same as Al Nassr had done or even worse. It's all for a purpose. I don't know but likely in the coming months, we should expect to see more of these occurrences.

I don't really care about friendly matches because this is not a match that will put pressure on both teams and is only a way to earn money and also as a warm-up considering that the Saudi pro league took a break for more than a month because of the Asian Cup.
Al Hilal managed to win but that doesn't show anything because Inter Miami, even though Lionel Messi is there, is just an ordinary team and looks good because of the presence of the captain of the Argentinian national team, and if you look at the score, there are seven goals scored, at least the spectators will be entertained because the goals in a football match are what the spectators is most waiting for.


If it's just a minor injury, it's very possible that Ronaldo will still play in the friendly match because the chances of him recovering are very big considering that the league hasn't been running for several weeks so he can rest completely, also because he's one of the ones who will be waiting to play so there's no reason for him not to play even if it's just just a moment.
