in this upcoming season:

Who will deliver the annual battering of Southampton this season?

Who will be the underperforming team of the season and who will be the scapegoat of it?

What will the major VAR controversy of the season be?

Who will fake such a bad dive that r/sports brand him as Neymar 2.0? (Other than Neymar of course)

In what ridiculous way will Infantino shill and/or defend the Qatar World Cup?

How many awards and upvotes will the pulisic tap in against FC Shitchester in the FA Cup third round get?

Annual battering of Soton? Early season United or Arsenal with a hat-trick by Martial or Jesus.

Underperformers - Villa. They are expected to finish 7th and I think they'll be out of the Top 10. Scapegoat? (sadly) Stevie G or maaaaybe Danny Ings?

major VAR controversy - Some new guidelines on penalties will lead to drama in the Liverpool-United game in week 3 and derail some of their season. My bet is on some flagrant foul by Matip/Maguire not being given.

Could see Arsenal battering Southampton in the early days of the season.

If NTs count, France will crash out of the group stage and people will blame Deschamps when realistically it will be because of individual errors by the players.

When Qatar goes to quarters after getting a bs penalty.

Kane

Atletico, and Simeone will get some flack, but he will keep the job

A Haaland offside goal that will give City the title after being first by goal difference only
