I tried my luck with betting on some matches in the Nations League before but my betslip lost big time.    Indeed we have witnessed so many unexpected results in especially the matches of favourite teams. But still France and Portugal are the winners of this tournament so far. We don't see any surprising team reaching the title at the end I mean. When I look at the remaining teams in the semi finals now I don't see any surprising team again. Netherlands, Croatia, Spain and Italy all are strong candidates to win the title.

Netherlands are the host country this time as you know. Hence I assume they would be even more competitive to be the champions. But Croatia is a really dangerous opponent. They have a really solid defense line so I wonder what Netherlands will do about it.

Dortmund wasted their championship opportunity too easy by not even being able to win against an aimless team on the last week of the season. This can't be acceptable even though they have still had a solid season. The ending shouldn't have been like this. I assume Dortmund have no reasonable explanation to this result either. It was like they already secured the title so they just didn't care about the match. The first half of it was exactly like that and that effort in the second half wasn't enough as a result.

Terzic surely had a good season anyway by staying in the title race until the end. But he also needs to learn his lesson from this kind of poor ending. Dortmund normally don't care about whether they become the champions but when they have another chance they should know how to make use of it.

Açıkçası bazı kaynaklara göre Real Madrid çoktan Kane'e teklif hazırlıyor gibi görünüyor. Bu kaynağa göre Real Madrid'in ilk teklifi 80 milyon euro olacak. Fakat Tottenham'ın önceden Kane'in fiyatını 120 milyon euro olarak belirlediği söyleniyor. Açıkçası 29 yaşına gelmiş bir forvet için bu kadar yüksek bir fiyata çıkarlar mı bilemiyorum. Kane tabi ki şu an dünyanın en iyi forvetlerinden birisi ama Tottenham diretirse ne olacağı belli olmaz.

I don't know if Neymar can find himself a team in Europe at the moment. His contract expires in 2025 so interested teams have to pay a transfer fee as well. The reason why I stated it is that his market value is still 70 million euros. Of course PSG wouldn't demand that much for a 31-year-old player. But I wouldn't expect them to demand less than 40-50 million euros anyway. Moreover as far as I know his current salary is 36 million euros per year which is an enormous sum.

I don't know if there would still be a team to be okay for meeting all these demands. Hence I expect him to stay here for a long time unless he gets an offer from outside Europe. As for Mbappe I don't expect him to leave this summer either. But for next season it is doubtful. If PSG fail in winning the CL title again then maybe we might see him at Real Madrid right after that.

Greatness? I don't think Tottenham had any greatness before.    They have like zero titles achieved since the 1971-72 season. They were never that much impressive in the Premier League either. I don't remember them being in a title competition until the end of a season. Of course this season was even much worse than the previous ones. But nothing changed much actually because of not achieving a title like in the past seasons. Tottenham need to do something to be competitive for titles then they can have greatness.

It looks like Tottenham have reached an agreement with Ange Postecoglou who has been Celtic's coach. This is a big surprise to me because I was waiting to see them bringing Nagelsmann instead. If this is true then I wonder how things will go from now on.

I think it doesn't have anything to do with luck that Sevilla won the Europa League title. Actually yes at first they looked really lucky in some matches. Because they weren't still able to improve their performance due to having a bad season. Their luck helped them until the end of the first leg against Manchester United. But as of the second leg we have started to watch a really different Sevilla. They finally started to play as they should and we started watching the usual Sevilla again.

As of that date Sevilla deserved to eliminate every single one of their opponents remaining in the tournament. In the finale they deserved it again because of showing a great performance at using penalties. They become something different when it comes to the Europa League even if they perform badly in the La Liga.

Gerçekten gelmiş geçmiş en önemsiz derbilerden birisini izleyeceğiz. Umarım yine de bu derbi iki takım arasındaki ezeli rekabetin hatrına zevkli geçer. Galatasaray şampiyonluğu garantiledi diye yedek ağırlıklı bir takımla çıkmaz umarım ama çıkarsa da eleştirmem çünkü olası bir sakatlık vb. durumlara önlem olarak Okan Buruk en iyi oyuncularını fazla oynatmak istemeyebilir. Gelecek sezon ise Galatasaray'ın Şampiyonlar Ligi macerası gerçekten zorlu olacak. Ön elemeleri geçme şanslarını artırmak için halihazırda takımdaki sağlam oyuncuları tutmaları ve mümkünse ilk 11'i daha da güçlendirmeleri iyi olur.

Free Practice sessions are always full of surprises. For example Hulkenberg did a really good work by finishing FP2 in third place. It was odd to see him having a better lap than even Perez. There was a huge improvement in Alonso's time from FP1 to FP2 like around 1.5 seconds. Being only 0.1 seconds behind Verstappen must be feeling great for him. However practice sessions can be misleading most of the time. The race weekend in Monaco was a bit like that for example. We saw some drivers doing a really good work in qualifying despite seeming bad in FP sessions.

I don't expect any surprise in qualifying session and the race both in Spain by the way. Verstappen can dominate again. However there is an expectation of rain in Spain at the weekend so this can make it more interesting for us.

O sezonu açıkçası hiç unutamıyorum. Aslında kadroları yıldız oyunculardan kurulu değildi. Ortalama seviyede oyunculardan oluşan bir kadroya sahiplerdi ama Claudio Ranieri'nin yönetimi altındalardı. Kendisi gerçekten o dönemler taktiksel anlamda inanılmaz işler ortaya koyuyordu. Takım ile kimyasında en ufak bir sorun yoktu neredeyse. O efsane sezonun ardından yanlış hatırlamıyorsam Ranieri çok sürmeden kovulmuştu ve bence bu hiç adil değildi. Bence onunla devam etselerdi en azından küme düşme noktasına kolay kolay gelmezlerdi.

Hamburg are such an unlucky team for two seasons. They have been trying hard in the 2nd Bundesliga to promote to the Bundesliga for two seasons. In the first attempt in the previous season, they got really close to making it. They got an advantageous score in the first leg against Hertha Berlin but they messed it up in the second leg unfortunately. But they still maintained their ambition in this season as well. They barely missed the chance of promoting directly despite having a three-week win streak.

But this time they couldn't get over the Stuttgart obstacle. To tell the truth Stuttgart is a really serious opponent for them as I see them stronger than Hertha Berlin as for productivity. They just destroyed Hamburg in the first leg already and there is no turning back from this I think.

I don't see Mbappe like one of the best players in history yet. He still has a long way to go to reach that place just as Haaland has to as well. Yeah he isn't a perfect player. Maybe his playing style and abilities are really impressive things about him. But when it comes to characteristic features of him he still needs to improve some things about himself. He will need to be disciplined at Real Madrid for example. Because right now he is acting like he is the owner of PSG.

It stems from his making an enormous amount of money as well of course. But PSG also makes him feel like he can do and say whatever he wants. I wouldn't expect Real Madrid to act in a similar way against him. He will need to get used to it if he joins Real Madrid.

Barcelona have been trying to make the conditions good to be able to sign back Messi this summer. But FFP rules look like a serious problem for them still. Messi has been ready to sign for them again already. He is even about to become free agent and he doesn't rush anything about his final decision as well. I've heard that he still intends to continue to play in Europe. If he hasn't changed his mind then I feel like we will be watching him continuing to play for PSG.

In the end I haven't heard anything such as he doesn't want to continue with PSG no matter what. PSG is just not his first choice at the moment that's all. I even wonder how flexible Barcelona will be about making new transfers this summer due to this situation.

We are in the single elimination bracket stage in IEM Dallas 2023. Heroic and ENCE are the winners of the upper finals in their groups. There are going to be Astralis v MOUZ and G2 v FaZe matchups in the quarter-finals to determine the opponents of Heroic and ENCE. I think MOUZ can eliminate Astralis. Because we don't have the old Astralis anymore. They are quite vulnerable and MOUZ are a strong team to deal with them. G2 v FaZe is actually a matchup that is like a final series in a big tournament.

G2 have a pretty solid head-to-head history against them recently though. I feel like they will be one step ahead once again and win by a score like 2-1. I think the name of the grand final will be Heroic v G2 as well.

Son günlerde Al Ittihad takımı transfer çalışmalarını hızlandırma peşinde. Messi'ye teklif yapan Suudi Arabistan takımı da onlar diye biliyorum ve son günlerde Benzema'nın da peşindeler. Benzema'nın ilerleyen günlerde son kararını açıklaması bekleniyor. Real Madrid ile sözleşmesi 1 ay sonra sona erecek ve bence burada kalmak yerine kat kat fazla para kazanmayı tercih eder artık diye düşünüyorum. Zaten özellikle bundan önceki sezondaki olağanüstü performansı ve aldığı Ballon d'Or ödülü ile kariyerinin zirvesini gördü.

I agree with you. Real Madrid are just looking for a way to sign Mbappe as soon as possible. He is really one of the numbered players who can bring back Real Madrid's highly dominant times. Actually there are two names coming to my mind who can change so many things for Real Madrid. One of them is Mbappe and the other one is Haaland. Right now there is no way that they can sign Haaland. He is about to play for Manchester City at least for one more season.

There is nothing certain about Mbappe though. He is already making a lot of money at PSG maybe but money issues can be solved easily by Real Madrid as well I guess. They are also a very rich team in the end. Mbappe and Ronaldo has different characteristics of course but Mbappe can also lead this team to victories.

It was a spectacular season for Osimhen indeed. He scored one third amount of Napoli's goals in the Serie A this season which is very impressive. This is a great effort for a 24-year-old striker for sure and he played the biggest role in Napoli's success this season undoubtely. This high effort has attracted the attention of some other top teams at the same time of course. For now I can think of Real Madrid and Manchester United as potential teams to make an official offer for him this summer.

Aside from that Bayern Munich might also try to intervene and sign him. Because they saw how bad they were without Lewandowski last season. There was something missing in the team and that missing part was absolutely a complete forward. Osimhen has just the characteristics of a complete forward.

We have seen some positive things about Manchester United this season. When Erik ten Hag first arrived at the team they were still having serious difficulties. He needed to take his time as well to know the team and the league well. In the meantime people continued to criticize Manchester United for continuing to be inconsistent. But I understood their impatience as they didn't see their team in a good shape for a long while.

However after giving it some time Erik ten Hag started to make a big impact on the team. The team effort has reached a much higher level and this brought about positive results. Rashford literally shined thanks to Erik ten Hag to tell the truth. This was the most productive season for him with 24 goals and 7 assists in total in all tournaments he played. I'm already excited about what they can do next season. But they will need to make some additions like a reliable centre-forward and some addition to the centre of the midfield would also be useful.

Refah içerisindeki Avrupa ülkelerinin şartları burada olsa evet bizler için de enflasyon çok büyük bir problem olmazdı. Dediğiniz gibi çok ilginç bir dönemden geçiliyor. Banka ile döviz bürolarındaki kur farkı açıldığından beri insanlar mümkünse döviz bürolarında fiziksel olarak işlemlerini halletmeye çalışıyorlar. Kaldı ki bunu yapan sadece sıradan vatandaşlar da değil artık. Merkez Bankası bile oradan buradan döviz toplamaya çalışıyor. Teknolojinin gelişmeye devam ettiği bir dünyada hala fiziksel fiat para tutmaktan konuşuyor olmak gerçekten üzücü.

This is Leipzig's second chance to win a title this season. The first one was the Super Cup match against Bayern Munich but they lost it by a huge score like 5-3. They had a quite good season in the Bundesliga as they made it to top 4 and secured their Champions League ticket in time. But I don't expect this to cause them to be complacent in the DFB Pokal finale of course. This is like the only place without Bayern Munich for Leipzig and Frankfurt both so they had better use this chance nicely.

These teams beat each other once in the Bundesliga this season. But here I'm going on with Leipzig win and I'll bet on it as well. Frankfurt aren't the kind of a team I like anymore. I really appreciated their high effort in the previous season due to winning the Europa League title. But now they are away from that look.

I was also hoping to see Dybala in the starting eleven and thankfully Mourinho heard me about it. Because as I said before he is a game changer and he can bring the match to Roma as well. It was a risk to take for Mourinho indeed because he missed last four official matches of his team due to his injury. But hopefully he won't have serious issues due to some absence of match fitness. Belotti's performance in the recent times hasn't been impressive either. Hence it is nice to see Dybala instead.

Roma have been the better side during the match so far. They got too close to scoring a goal with Spinazzola as well but Bono saved the shot really nicely. If Mourinho wins the title with Roma he will have a brand new achievement for himself - the first coach to win European titles with 3 different teams.
