This is true. the MLS is going to get more attention now because people are going to be expecting big things from Messi.
For the record though, Messi's contract with Inter Miami is a huge one. He will earn $60million a year and he also has a stake in Inter Miami. That's a very big deal.
Inter Miami are also making big moves aside securing Messi's signature. They have signed Barca legend Sergio Busquets and the trying to sign another Barca legend, Jordi Alba.
They have also hired Tata Motino as their new coach after sacking the disasters Neville who took them to the bottom of the table.
Next season looks promising for Inter Miami. lets see what they can achieve

Some people will argue that Mourinho is a better option but I will not want Mourinho in my team at this point in his career. Actually, at no point in Mourinho's career would I have loved him at my club.
He's too defensive. I know he's sticking to what works for him and that is cool, but I just do not enjoy that pattern of football. PSG were lucky they did not sign him because they wouldn't have loved it later on.
I hope Enrique can replicate his Barcelona performance at PSG and be a success for PSG.

My last bet that I can regard as betting on the underdog was on Sevilla.
First it was against Manchester United in the quarter final of the Europa league. Sevilla were not in a good form at the time and everybody wrote them off. On the other hand Manchester United were among the most in form teams in England. Sevilla's odd was like 3.90 or so. Somehow I believe Sevilla would win and they did, in the first half for that matter. It was the easiest dollar I ever made. 

I took that same energy to the first leg of the Juventus vs Sevilla match. This one ended badly. very badly.
It wasn't because I lost the bet, but it was the manner in which I lost the bet.
Sevilla was given just over 5 odds to win and I took it. Sevilla scored and was winning. I had already concluded that I had won the game. The 6 added minute had elapsed but the referee didn't end the game.
Second half substitute Paul Pogba heads the ball into the 6 yard box and Gatti was right there to finish it off with a header.
That was one of my most heart breaking moment of last season.  . It ended in a draw.

I don't think Bellingham can be a Modric replacement. He's more of a Toni Kroos replacement. One of the problems England had was playing Bellingham way higher up in the midfield. They even took him to the final third. That's not Bellingham's position. He made play well, but he wont be effective as when you just let him roam the midfield in from the defensive midfielder.

Madrid will be willing to sell either of Velverde or Tchouameni, at the right price but not both of them. Arsenal seem to be interested in Tchouameni, but Perez said if Arsenal needs him, they have to pay the whole 100million euros Madrid spent in getting him from Monaco.

Funny you think Madrid is not also in debt. The media only likes to project  Barcelona as the only club in debt because it gives them alot of clicks. Barcelona has it worst, but Madrid is in a debt of over 500 million euros. 

Winning on sports betting is never simple, especially winning in the premier league. No matter how you analyze your bet before staking. It's always difficult to predict.
Predicting one game might be easy, but you won't be making any money from betting one game especially if it's small odd, so you have to add other games and that is where the problem comes. Its difficult to predict about 4-5 games accurately and even if you do, then it has to be options with lower odds.

Bitcoin was at $61k  as at the time of Maguires signing, today its half that
Maguire has been a colossal failure at United but I don't think Unite would have made profits too if they had bought Bitcoin with that 80million euros in 2019.
The difference is, Manchester United would have still made profit in future with their bitcoin investment, but they would get nothing from Maguire. They never did, they never will.

Just think of Maguire as a bad investment. It happens everything, even to the best of us.
Personally, I feel Maguire was a better investment for Man United than Hazard for Madrid.

I don't see how banning ads in Australia can affect this forum. The article did not say say online gambling ads should be banned world wide, its just in Australia. I also don't think they can stop people from Australia from using the forum except the site would be banned in Australia, which can still be bypassed.

I'm not in support of banning ads for online gambling. Every company should have a right to advertise its business, as far as that company is allowed to do business in that particular country.
Alcohol also causes damage, but alcohol companies are not banned from having online ads in Australia.

Its not that easy. Rebuilding a squad is expensive and Inter don't have that kind of money. And also you don't expect them to just get young players. That's risky. The young players might not leave up to their potential, plus experience is a very big advantage in football.
Inter's players are not all old. They have players that are 27-29 years and the also have young player like Barella and Bastoni that are very good.
They just need to make a few additions and replace players like Brozovic and Dzeko that are leaving and they are good. I also read that they want to sign Lukaku permanently.

I always knew Manchester City will not sign Declan Rice. They have no real need for him. You can only spend that amount of money for a player that you really need, plus a player that is actually worth it. If Man City didn't have Rodri, I'm certain they would have bought Rice.
Arsenal actually needs Declan Rice, but not for that price. If I was Arsenal I wouldn't spend that kind of money on Rice.
I honestly don't know what Man City really wanted Rice in the first place.
I hope Arsenal gets Rice though, because they've spent a lot of time on him and they really need a good player in that position. I wonder how they would strengthen other part of their squad if they spend over 100million on a single player.

Modric will not leave the national team after the 2024 Euro. He might go to the MLS or Saudi league, but I doubt if he will retire or stay in Europe. Modric is actually still very good at his age, the only thing is that he can't play back to back for a long time.
It was a good thing for Madrid to renew his contract for a year because Madrid still needs his creativity in that midfield. There is no midfielder as creative as Modric right now in that Madrid midfield, not even 100m euros Bellingham.

How well do you follow soccer?
For you to win bets in soccer you have to have to a have a certain level of understanding of the sports. If you are just going to bet according to the odds then its going to be more difficult for you to win. Sports betting is very tricky and soccer is among the worst of them. The team with the smaller odd doesn't always win. In fact most times the opposite is the case. Even when the team with the lesser odd wins the odd turns out to be too small and you end up not winning much. At that point you're risking so much to win very little.

Picking teams with 1.50 to 1.70 odds, its not guaranteed you'd win even if that is the smaller odd. So I would advise you not to use odd alone, but try to analyze to match, analyze both teams and see their current performance. Check how the perform at home and how they perform away from home. Check how often the score, both home and away.
One thing other gamblers do that I don't do is check the head-to-head of the teams. I don't know how accurate that may be, but a lot of gamblers do it and it wouldn't hurt to try.
All these are not guarantees that you'll win, but it might improve your chances.
You can also use your intuition to determine.

Bayern Munich is exactly the kind of club Harry Kane fits in. He will score so many goals at Bayern. Not because the Bundesliga is weak, but because Kane is that good. Bayern Munich creates a lot of chances for their attackers and I trust Kane to finish those chances easily. Bayern Munich guarantees Kane trophies, and one of the only things Kane lacks right now are trophies.

The problem is Tottenham would not sell, not for that price at least. Teams like Manchester United would like to sign him, but I feel United do not want to waste too much time in a bidding war with Tottenham when they can spend that time going for another striker.
Both players Manchester have their eyes on this summer for the central forward positions are going to be very difficult to get. Osimhen is valued at 200m while Kane is valued at 100m. That is insane because Kane is 29 and has only one year left in his contract. 

The deal has not been signed yet though, but it has been agreed between both parties. It just a matter of time before it will be singed.
It was so certain Vinicius wont be leaving Madrid. Madrid would never allow that, not for anything. Vini is among the the three best players in his position right now and any club that has him would not let him go as far as they can afford to keep him.  Most of Madrid's attack comes through Vinicius, it would be a shame to let that kind of player go.

With Mbappe, things will be easier for Madrid, but he would have to play the central forward position or left wing because no coach will bench a player like Vinicius. Not because hes better than Mbappe, but because he too good to be on the bench and the only wing he can play is the left wing.

Not once did I think Kane would leave England. Those are kind of things that happen ones in a generation. He is England's captain and I don't think the captain of England has at any point in time played outside England. Kane will stay in England. And I always have this feeling that those in England wont let their best player to leave their league.
Harry Kane would be perfect for Manchester United. They don't have a central forward and he would earn a decent salary their too. It's the trophy part that is not guaranteed.

This happens to me. I have never made a vow to stop gambling all together but I have told my self that I won't gamble for a few days to one week. Most times this happens when I've had too many series of losses or when I've had a big loss.
There is this feeling that I'm missing out on a lot when I decide not to play. Like "what if its this period that I'd win". It is this thought that makes me go back to gambling before the time I was suppose to.
Keeping to self promises like that requires a certain level of discipline. I'm at that point where if I say I don't want to gamble then I wont gamble.

Juselu is not as bad as people make him t seem. He is not world class but he is certainly not a bad player. He is a perfect fit for a short term replacement for Benzema.
Madrid do not know if they would sign Mbappe this season and Kane even looks more difficult, because in the case of Mbappe, he actually wants to join Real Madrid, he doesn't need much convincing.
Its just a matter of time before Mbappe becomes a Madrid player. It might happen this summer too because Madrid are very optimistic about the deal.

Is there something I'm missing? I thought Chelsea already hired Pochettino to be their next manager? So why are y'all still talking about the next manager Chelsea should sign?


It will be really absurd to blame the management alone for the poor performance of Chelsea last season.
I agree the management had a role to play in the disaster, but there is no way in hell a team plays as Chelsea played last season and you don't blame the coach for part of it, especially if the club gives you a lot of reinforcements.
Potter was brilliant at Brighton, but that doesn't mean he was awful at Chelsea. Even the great Mourinho sucked at his second term with Chelsea. Should we excuse that because he was good ones or good at other clubs?

Barcelona signing Neymar wont be such a bad thing. He is still very good and still among the best in his position. The only problem Neymar has are his constant long term injuries. If he can stay fit for a whole season you'll see that very few players are better than him. He was among the best in form players before he got injured.
If there is a way he can reduce his salary significantly and PSG request for a low fee for Neymar then he can be signed.
There are people in Barcelona that want him back and there are those who do not. Neymar himself likes the idea of returning to Barca but its a very difficult thing to happen.

Actually for me it depends on the game.
There are some games that looks really unpredictable even when the match is on. These kind of matches are very difficult when playing a live bet. Another bad thing about the live bet option is that, the likely outcome comes with very small odds so you have to stake high. If you go for the bigger odds then you're taking more risk. What's funny is that that option with very big odd might have been a very small odd before the game.
In live bet you have to always follow the game so you'll know how to bet, it requires more attention.
I play both options but I feel placing your bet before the game is better for me because I can just sit back and enjoy the game after betting.

Even if Manchester United succeed in signing both Harry Kane and Mason Mount, they (Manchester United are no where near Man City in terms of quality). There is so much difference between the quality of players in Man City and Man United, even if United have spent a lot on players.
Manchester City just lost Gundugan, and immediately they replaced him with Kovacic. With the way players develop well under Pep, we'll see Kovacic turn out to be the best version of himself next season.

Manchester City are still winning the premier league if you ask me. Liverpool will put up a fight. I believe the Liverpool of next season will be way stronger than the Liverpool of last season. So it might be a case of Man City at the top, Liverpool second and everybody else, including Man United struggle for third and fourth.
