What’s Happening in Pre‑Season?

Right now clubs across Europe are testing new line‑ups, trying out tactics and giving youngsters a chance to shine. For example, Lyon’s bus was attacked before their Ligue 1 derby, sparking security talks that could affect future pre‑season fixtures. In England, Aston Villa’s VAR drama with Brentford reminded fans how even friendly games can get intense.

Across the Atlantic, MLS teams are gearing up for a new season. EA FC 25 highlighted Messi and Suárez as standouts, showing how star power still drives excitement before the league really starts. Meanwhile, cricket fans saw Pakistan dominate West Indies in Lauderhill with spin wizardry – a perfect illustration of how pre‑season form can set the tone for a series.

Don’t miss the basketball buzz either. The Warriors are dealing with Stephen Curry’s hamstring injury ahead of a big Game 3 against the Timberwolves, and fans are watching to see who steps up. These early‑season stories give clues about which teams might surprise later on.
