The Netherlands - Croatia match can end up really different than the bookmakers expect. Bookmakers are underestimating Croatia a little despite their look in the recent times. Croatia are a really solid defense team and they can be annoying against any kind of attacking-oriented teams. However Gvardiol's absence would weaken the defense at an important rate surely.

But still I don't think Croatia defense will be weak. They would stand tall and try their best to wear out Netherlands attackers. Netherlands are rather a much more attacking team you know so they will aim to have control of the match as much as possible. If Croatia do a good job about tightening the area their opponent play in then Netherlands can have really serious issues.

I think we will watch at least extra time and Croatia can really surprise the bookmakers.

Mbappe has already given the signal to Real Madrid about a possible transfer. However it will happen by next summer instead of one. Because Mbappe has said that he won't extend his current contract which ends in the summer of 2024. But he is about to play for PSG until that date. But even this is great news for Real Madrid as they can make the preparations according to that.

Besides Florentino Perez has also said that this transfer will happen but just not now.    Truthfully I would really like to watch Mbappe with Real Madrid shirt. But when he comes I'm pretty sure he would like to play as a centre-forward which is the position he used to play in already. I wonder what Real Madrid will do about the current striker problem thinking of that situation also.

Yes, Tyler Herro's situation is going to be clear by game time. However even if he returns by this game I don't think this can change things so much. He has been out for 2 months due to broken hand. He needs to reach match fitness again and I don't think he can recover this quick. There is like no time to warm up well for this game.

Therefore I don't expect much contribution from him even if he plays. I don't even expect him to play for a long time either to not risk him right after coming back from an injury. The series is in favour of Nuggets by 3-1. Nobody can save Heat from this situation from now on I think.

Hakim karşısına çıkacaklardı ama davanın ertelendiği yönünde bugün bir haber okumuştum. Bu dava sonuçlanıp neyin ne olduğu belirgin hale gelene kadar suçlamaların ne kadar gerçek olduğunu anlamak zor. Tabi olası yan etkiler üzerine hep konuşulmuştu. Hatta aşıyı yaptırmadan önce üzerinde bir ton bilgilendirmenin olduğu bir kağıdı imzalayıp öyle Biontech aşısı oluyordunuz.

Pıhtı atma da risklerden birisiydi ve bu konuda bazı vakalara da rastladık şu ana kadar. Tabi bazı yan etkiler de var ki normalde yaşam tarzına göre ortaya çıkabilen şeyler aynı zamanda. Yani tam olarak bir teşhis konmadan da direkt bu aşı yüzünden oldu demek güç bir şey.

We have reached the end of another Champions League season. Congratulations to Manchester City on their first ever CL championship in the team history!

But I would like to start my words with how inadequate Manchester City were generally. This is really not exactly a team of finals in my humble opinion. Because while Inter were playing their own game it wasn't the case for Manchester City. Inter had a 3-5-2 formation on paper but they did what they have always done so far. While Manchester City were attacking Inter were changing their formation to 5-3-2 quickly with the help of their left and right-backs.

Manchester City had serious issues with controlling the ball as they wanted for a long time and we didn't see proper attacks by them much. But the second half was in favour of them more thanks to Inter's starting to giving some spaces in defense. Rodri scored the winner and they won the title. Inter could have still made a comeback if it weren't for Lukaku's incapability.

Guardiola has finally reached his biggest goal with Manchester City so I wonder what his plans will be for the future.

Maybe Lukaku played for around half an hour in the Champions League finale but he was still responsible for not being able to carry the match to extra time. Because he got 2 important opportunities to score and one of them was like an absolute goal chance. But his targeted Ederson with his header. Apart from that Lukaku blocked a header by his teammate which could have ended up with a goal also.

I think this was like the thing that made things certain about Lukaku's future at Inter.    I'm pretty sure Inter won't extend this loan contract or sign him permanently. He will be returning to Chelsea very soon and his contract with Chelsea also expires in a year.

I really wonder if Pochettino would be keen on keeping him until the end of his contract. 

First of all I must admit that I only bet on top leagues in Europe now. I tried some other leagues in many different countries but my betting history isn't that good at all.    I tried the second leagues of top countries also after that but it was also a bad experience for me. Because it is like there are so many surprising results in those leagues also. But I don't want to try surprise bets most of the time.

Considering my expectations I have decided that top European leagues are the best for me. I have tried every one of them and the English Premier League has had the biggest percentage of winnings for me so far. Because matches of top teams are mostly predictable to me. I can read English teams easier than the others which helps me make good predictions about even average and below average teams in the league also.

After the Premier League it must be the La Liga for me. Because I don't remember how many times I won thanks to top 3 teams of this league.    But I bet on goal bets instead of a side mostly because their odds are usually very low against their opponents.

Kane konusunda duyumlara göre Tottenham başkanı Levy Premier Lig'de direkt rakiplerinden biri olduğu için Manchester United'a Kane'i satmaya pek de niyetli durmuyor. Bu da demek oluyor ki Premier Lig'deki herhangi büyük bir takımın Kane'i alması zor görünüyor. Tabi Kane'in bu konu hakkındaki düşünceleri de önemli olacaktır ama daha önce Levy kararlılığını koruyarak Kane'i takımda tutmasını bilmişti.

Eğer olur da Kane ülke dışı bir takıma transfer olmaya sıcak bakarsa o takım yüksek ihtimalle Real Madrid olacaktır. Belki Bayern Münih de araya girmeyi düşünebilir tabi çünkü onlar da şüphem yok ki sağlam bir forvet arayışındalar.

The achievement Union Berlin had is really big on paper also. I mean just look at the comparison of the total market values of the top 4 teams this season:

- Bayern Munich: 979.70 million euros
- Dortmund: 547.70 million euros
- Leipzig: 487.30 million euros
- Union Berlin: 126.10 million euros

There is a really huge gap between Union Berlin and the others. But this team managed to even take the lead for a while and maintained a title race for a respectable amount of time. Leverkusen had a really bad season in the league of course which was also a factor that helped. However I wouldn't like to underestimate the work Union Berlin have done.

I also hope to see them adding some good players to make the team more reliable for the Champions League. Of course the board wouldn't have high expectations there but I guess they would like to do their best anyway.

Yes Messi has left PSG maybe but I don't think it is like the end of the world for them. I remember the times PSG were still doing even much better than this in the tournaments they played. PSG have a lot of money to make their weak sides stronger obviously. Asensio is here to take Messi's place probably. But if he can't meet the expectations PSG can find a much stronger alternative.

The thing I'm wondering the most now is who PSG will bring in Galtier's place. There should be a coach change for sure because Galtier has been terrible at doing his job. PSG just had to make do with a Ligue 1 title which they were already used to winning it many times. They need a success in the Champions League and Galtier isn't the coach who can make this happen.

If PSG sign the right manager then it might be the start of a much better era for them.

There is a good development in Italian football indeed. Before anything else it is quite impressive to see an Italian team in each finale in European cups. The thing they have been bad at so far is that they can't finish the incomplete job. They can't win that title. Fiorentina lost, Roma lost and it looks like it is Inter's turn in the Champions League.

Actually this wasn't like that last season because Roma managed to win the Europa Conference League title. These teams need to figure out where they did wrong to fix it. Fiorentina and Roma both had such a good potential to become champions otherwise. Fiorentina were devastated by a goal in the last moments and Roma's penalty shootout performance was just horrible. 

Şu en beğenilen yemeklerin olduğu listeye bir bakmıştım da sadece Yunan mutfağında da değil Bulgar ve hatta yanlış hatırlamıyorsam Sırp mutfağında bile işkembe çorbasını görmüştüm.    Adeta sistematik olarak mutfağımızın yemeklerini ele geçirmişler. Üstüne üstlük bir de onların versiyonları daha yüksek puanlanmış. 

Tabi bunun sebebi de bizim bu yemekleri onlar kadar iyi pazarlayamıyor olmamız. Daha çok kişi yediği ve beğendiği için haliyle böyle bir tablo ortaya çıkmış.

Jude Bellingham is a done deal for Real Madrid finally!

It is a 134 million-euro deal which is a quite impressive sum. But Real Madrid were already willing to meet Dortmund's demands. Dortmund have lost one of their best players again but it must be a very profitable deal for them anyway. Because back in the day Dortmund signed him from Birmingham for like 30 million euros. This is a great profit for them.

Aside from that this is their main vision in the end. They sign this kind of talented young players to sell them for making a big profit in the future. In this way they can make up for their not being the champions in the Bundesliga in a great way.

Bellingham will strengthen Real Madrid midfield a lot for sure. They still keep Modric and Kroos though but Bellingham would definitely be a regular in the starting lineup after a deal like this.  

Whenever Murray also contributes with big numbers to the game Nuggets manage to win easier. This was the case for Game 1 and it was again for Game 3. Considering his statistics in these two games of the series Murray had better stay over 25 points.    Since the time he returned from a long-running injury he has made a really solid contribution to the team of course.

However this is the final series and he needs to help Jokic continually. Jokic has been carrying the most of the load for his team to be the champions in the playoffs. If Murray shares the load in the rest of the games I'm pretty confident about Nuggets to take their first ever NBA championship home this season. 

It is really difficult to predict the next five years already now. But I can agree with you on the point that there is a much harder season waiting for Dortmund next time. The reason why I think like this is that Dortmund might not get this much lucky about maintaining their title chance until the final moments of the season.

Because Bayern Munich were so much inconsistent this season which helped Dortmund stay right behind them. Even this situation couldn't help Dortmund win the title after a ten-season break. From now on I will be expecting to see a stronger Bayern Munich so Dortmund's job will be harder as a result. Tuchel didn't have much time to implement his plans as he was brought quite late in the season.

But as of the beginning of next season I'm expecting to watch a much better team. They would start with signing a top striker this summer of course to solve the most of their issues.

I can say that there is no way Inter can win this match in regular time. They must get very lucky to make this happen truthfully. Because the scenario of regular time is already obvious. Manchester City will have control of the match completely and Inter can only try some counter-attacks if they catch Manchester City defense unbalanced.

Long balls might be a good option for Inter for example. They have tall centre-forwards like Dzeko and Lukaku who are both taller than 1.90 m. We would surely see the same sense in the attacking line like playing with two forwards. One of them would be Martinez and the other one would be Dzeko most probably. Because Inzaghi seems like he trusts him more than Lukaku in this kind of big matches.

But if Manchester City start very fast with a goal then Inter's plans would be gone all of a sudden. They would have to take big risks I'm afraid.

Şu sıralardaki değer 23,23 TL. Her şey gün içinde o kadar hızlı bir şekilde gelişti ki. Seçimi de geride bırakmamız ile birlikte artık doların değeri üzerindeki baskılama da ortadan kaldırıldı. Yarın 25 lira olursa da şaşırmam çünkü normalde tam da olması gereken yerler en az o seviyeler. Yıl sonu için tahminim 30 lirayı bulabileceği yönünde.

Mehmet Şimşek'in gelişi bizlerden ziyade yatırımcılar için çok iyi bir haber oldu. Ekonominin düzeltilmesi açısından hamleler gelmediği sürece dolar daha nerelere çıkar hayal bile edemiyorum. İhracata ona buna önem verirken halk arada kaynamış oluyor malesef.

We don't even know yet whether Ancelotti will stay for another season here. I mean you know there have been speculations around like he might be offered a job by Brazil national team. If this happens in this summer then I think his answer would be yes. In that case Real Madrid would need to search for a decent manager like him in addition to their search of a striker after Benzema's departure.

When it comes to Barcelona they must have got the bad news about Messi. According to Fabrizio Romano he is about to sign for Inter Miami.

This really shocked me because I thought that he would go to Saudi Arabia just as the others if he can't go on in Europe.

I think exactly the same as you. Why would Tottenham go for managers whose names aren't known much in Europe at all? I respect this manager because of his successes with the other teams he managed so far but I still don't see any point to trust him about reviving Tottenham. Because it feels like only an experienced manager with this kind of teams can save Tottenham as of now.

Of course there won't be any guarantee. We have seen Conte, Pochettino and Mourinho trying to be successful with them so far but even they couldn't reach the targets of team. But this doesn't mean that they won't be able to find the right manager. They should have brought another well-known manager to start off with a clean slate.

But now I just hope that I will be wrong about this new manager and we can finally see Tottenham achieving something. Kane doesn't really deserve this after all that effort.

Manchester United are another interested team in Harry Kane these days. As we both said that his priority would be to stay in the English Premier League his first choice would be the Red Devils I guess. The only and important problem here is whether Manchester United are ready to pay a big sum of money to sign a 29-year-old striker now.

Of course it is still Kane we are talking about so I think he is worth it anyway. Because his age shouldn't mislead anyone. He has the capacity to play at his top performance for many more years. He can be like Benzema for Real Madrid for example. Football is an industry from now on so technically a sum around 100 million euros isn't that much enormous for rich teams.
