Maybe the appointment of Jurgen Klopp will turn to be a good thing in the long run. After all, the German football federation wanted him even before the Julian Nagelsmann was hired. But after only two games, it doesn’t look good at all. In fact, it looks like under the former manager. It was all nice and interesting in the opening press conference, and it was surprising when Klopp included 16 uncapped players in his 44-man squad in order to check everybody but somehow forgot to include Denis Undav. But after a draw against the Netherlands and a shocking 1-0 loss against Greece, the honeymoon is over. For the first time ever, the Greeks defeated the Germans, and they did it in front of their fans in Augsburg, putting the Klopp’s crew to the third place with only one point after three games. This result is even more shocking than Jorge Jesus’ decision to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench for the Norway game.##TWITTER_

Two-time UEFA Nations League winners Portugal started their quest for the second consecutive title (and third overall) with a slim victory over Wales (1-0) and continued it on Sunday night with a more impressive win against in-form Noway in Oslo. While the hosts were more dominant overall and with initiative, the individual qualities of the Portuguese and the unbelievable blunder from home keeper Orjan Nyland were crucial in a 2-1 win. Former Sevilla keeper and 12th on the all-time Norwegian internationals’ list totally changed the momentum of the game with a mistake in the 54th minute which allowed Portugal to take the lead again, which they kept until the end.##TWITTER_

Rui Pinto. It sounds like an up-coming future football star from Portugal who is about to try his luck in the Premier League. But in fact, he is the man who discovered the Manchester City’s documents which lead to 115 charges, 114 of whom proved to be correct. And before we get to see the original explanation of the independent commission, let’s hear from the man who started it all.“A historic decision for English football, and one that comes to crown the work I carried out through Football Leaks. We all know now that, through structural manipulation and financial manoeuvring, Manchester City did not merely circumvent the rules, they turned them into a mere formality, challenging any attempt to preserve the integrity of the competition. That meticulously orchestrated fraud will finally be subject to punishment, and the impact will not merely be turbulent, but truly devastating for the Cityzens” he tweeted after the initial news about the decision of the commission broke out.##LINKED_NE..
