Major leagues 2024/2025 Season Returns - Date and First Fixtures

Sports lovers and football enthusiasts have a reason to be alive again 😂. The reason is not far fetched of course. It is the all important fact that major leagues around the world will return in about two weeks after a two months break. A period where the soccer fantasies are analysed and banter is served as it is hot 😁. We get to know in the English Premier if we have finally gotten to that season where Arsenal gets to lift the trophy. We will also want to know if the Mbappe effect will be greatly missed at Parc De Prince in the French Ligue 1. Also a season to know if the Catalan giants, Barcelona will win an El classico after losing three of them last season.

COPA AMERICA 2024 ET EURO 2024 FINALS - What are we expecting?

EURO2024: Knockout Phase and How Things Stand

We are gradually coming to the climax of the European Championship. A competition that has lived up to expectations. The #EURO2024 has delivered some doses of mouth watering performances, upsets, disappointment and last minute drama. One of the foremost upsets was having the reigning champions Italy ousted by Switzerland in the round of sixteen to progress to quarterfinals.

The England team managed to survive a late drama with Jude Bellingham coming to their rescue in the 94th minute to snatch a 1:1 draw against a resilient Slovakia and going on to win in the match at extra time. So far, we have all been entertained wholesomely and hope the quarterfinals deliver much more than we have witnessed. The competition returns on Friday, 5th July with the first two games of the quar...
