Another very interesting match today is Manchester United - Tottenham obviously. This is the main event I think and I wonder whether we will see a winner here. Both teams can find at least one goal easily I believe. They both like to play an attacking football and I don't expect any side to play defensive this time. It is going to be important for each of them to win this match. It is a big match and it would contribute to the morale of the winner a lot. And Tottenham seem to be capable of winning this match more than their competitor. They are in a great shape and I remember what they did to Manchester City in an away match.
It's a big match for top 4 competition and it is an opportunity for Conte to prove that Manchester United board were wrong buy strike his name out from a coach position in Old Trafford. Even if Manchester United win, their opportunity is still smaller than Arsenal and Tottenham. If they lose, they would likely to say goodbye to this competition.

Tottenham currently have better form and more mentally positive than Manchester United. I fail to see how Manchester United can bounce back when their players almost lose their concentration and can not unite together for a general benefit and target of the club.

if you want to maintain hope to ease their path to reach the Scudetto this season then AC Milan must exert their best strength every week.  Although AC Milan is in the best form after defeating Napoli last week, AC Milan often plays beyond expectations and achieves disappointing results. If we look at the schedule for the remaining matches this season, AC Milan can be said to only leave opponents they can beat on paper, provided they must always play consistently in every match.
AC Milan and Inter Milan are now have same concentration for Serie A because from now on, Inter Milan already are out of Champions League. They did have a good match in Anfield but that's not enough for them to go next. Now, they will return to Serie A with full concentration and highest efforts. It is not what AC Milan expected but it is a predictable result after Inter lost 0-2 in the first leg.

The Scudetto competition now is very hot between them.

I don't think Atalanta took the match against Roma very serious. Remember, they had a tough match ahead, and also in the Europe League against Bayer Leverkusen. Which they are currently winning with a goal difference. However, Atalanta are more stronger compared to Genoa. Although, am not underestimating Genoa, I won't be surprise if they probably wins against Atalanta. Because their performance have been quite decent lately. But, without doubt, Atalanta is the most favorite.
Europa League might not be what Atalanta will pay most attention on. Chance to win is not high and they are in race for top 4 in Serie A which means more for them financially. Roma is one of direct competitor for Atalanta but their biggest one is Juventus. I don't see why Atalanta will not put their serious effort to win Roma that have rising form recent weeks. It would be a big and exciting match.

Noisy outside and there were problems off the pitch but it didn't affect Chelsea's performance, the proof was last night Chelsea were able to beat Norwich with a score of 3-1, although a few hours before the match started, the public was excited by the British government which froze Abramovich's assets, but Chelsea able to get 3 important points, and now they have managed to collect 56 points, and now Chelsea is still in third place in the standings.
I hope it will be fine for Chelsea and Abramovich as well. I don't know connections between Abramovich and Putin so I can not say anything about that. It's a good result for Chelsea in this chaotic time and they are secure their third position in Premier League.

There are 9 months till December so we might see some big changes until that month. Chelsea is a big club in Premier League and I hope the war will end soon as well as the resort to freeze assets of oligarchs will end soon. It needs de-escalation from Putin and Abramovich connections to Putin will be proven as nothing at all.

Bayern also has an attraction, which is being Bayern. Leipzig does good last year? They get their manager and their great player, Dortmund does good this year, they will be getting another player from them. Whenever there are good players in Bundesliga, they will offer a good amount for that player, and even staff or manager or just a scout. They use Bundesliga like their youth setup basically.
Finance is important and tradition is important and attractive to star players who don't want to play for a club that can not fight for and win trophy. Dortmund after a few successful seasons with Klopp lost many players to Bayern and 10 years later, they did not win any title in Bundesliga. Other clubs like Leipzig, Leverkusen are similar to Dortmund. They can win Bundesliga in one season but it is very impossible for them to maintain it in a next or next few seasons.

Quote
All of those great players in Bayern usually comes from another Bundesliga team, not all 100% like that, but most do. And that is the difference, they can dominate because they can pick and transfer the best players out of their competition and put them on their own roster.
Bayern players will leave their club after going through downside of their career. Like Hummels, Gotze who joined Bayern from Dortmund and after having some seasons there, they returned to Dortmund but their best times already far ago. Their returns are useful for Dortmund but can not help Dortmund to beat Bayern because Bayern have better replacements for those players.

The main problem of Manchester United is not Ronaldo, and no one should blame the player for not strongly supporting the team game. Ronaldo has never been a player who accelerates the attack and makes striking passes in the penalty area or near the type of Modric or Messi. Ronaldo, on the contrary, is the player whom these transfers should find, so that the player then makes the decisive striking blow.
It's too far from era when a single player can carries a whole team to title. Nowadays, a team need to work and play together as an united team in order to get success. The latest defeat of PSG in Champions League is another lesson. Mbappe can not carry PSG to success and that defeat is a failure for PSG to convince Mbappe to stay in Paris.

Quote
Ronaldo alone will not be able to guarantee anything and other players should help him in this, as they say, someone should play the piano, and someone should carry this piano. Also, if the team cannot show the desired result, then there is a share of the head coach's fault, because his task is to use the available players as efficiently as possible.
Ronaldo was bought and came back to Manchester United to help them solving their issues in goal scoring. I disagree if anyone say Ronaldo has failed with this task so far. People say it just because it is Ronaldo and they want him to score 30 to 40 goals in every season. Remember he is going to his 40s and what he has scored so far is much better than other attacking players whom are younger than him in Old Trafford.

I'm a PSG fan but I think that their constant dominance makes the French league not very competitive, every season it's easy to predict who was the champion of league 1, it looks like they don't play against other teams, in my opinion the other teams need to improve a lot and for that they have to invest in good players and coaches to be able to compete against PSG, because in this current way, there is no competition, PSG even has the luxury of having a big difference and points, they become champions missing many games to finish league 1
You said the truth but other clubs in that league can not blame all on PSG. Why rich foundations did not choose other clubs in France? PSG has something attractive to rich foundation so that they decided to invest in PSG in Paris. Before PSG, Lyon dominated Ligue 1 but people did not complain it as the end or something bad for this league. They complained about it because they think it is unfair (that I believe it is not true) for other clubs when PSG dominated the league with money from their foreigner boss.

If PSG can win Champions League, they can attract more foundations to Ligue 1 and the general quality there will be improved. Just like Premier League, after Chelsea, they have Manchester City.

Personal views on bitcoin

October 2015: “We do not interpret bitcoin’s popularity as having a relationship with the public’s view of the Federal Reserve’s conduct of monetary policy.”
December 2017: “It is not a stable store of value and it doesn’t constitute legal tender. It is a highly speculative asset.”
October 2018: “I will just say outright I am not a fan, and let me tell you why. I know there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies and maybe something is coming down the line that is more appealing but I think first of all, very few transactions [that] are actually handled by bitcoin, and many of those do take place on bitcoin are illegal, illicit transactions.”

Agree. Although Atalanta will have a victory in the next match vs Genoa, the point is still under Juventus. On the other hand, this club is also not in a good position where Roma is also approaching the standing.
The hardest moment faced by Atalanta may be in the next match vs Napoli on April 3, it will be hard and in this moment, Atalanta may be lost the point.
Nah. I don't think it is correct to say Atalanta will win in match with Genoa and lose in match with Napoli. They might lose against Genoa but win against Napoli. Anyway, they are in bad form now and Juventus, Roma are still fighting with Atalanta for a position in top 4, the fourth position at least.

Quote
It is very interesting to see the standings to the top three where the point difference is very small ad they are really competitive. Once one of them lost, they will be taken over b others. This seems that each of them must be more careful and cosnistent to play evry well in every match if they don't wnat to decrease their standing.
Juventus have more advantage than Atalanta and Roma but the recent come back of Roma makes this race among three clubs more exciting. Temporarily, Roma have most disadvantages but let's see how they will keep up their rising form and how Juventus, Atalanta will perform in next few rounds. If both clubs have some bad results, Roma will actually be able to join the competition and reduce current disadvantages.

For the sake of Serie A, Juventus will be a safer club for them in Champions League. I don't expect too much on Atalanta or Roma in Champions League if they can get a ticket to be there next season.

In fact, a lot of chances were wasted, not because they didn't play well, it's just that these two are an extraordinary club. In terms of defense and attack also from Liverpool and Inter are very good. I don't think there's anything to be disappointed about, maybe it's just that for Liverpool fans without a goal is an unsatisfactory result. Like before the game, back then, we had high expectations that Liverpool would score more than 2 goals. Maybe that's all that makes the fans dissatisfied with the result of the Leg 2 match.
They are both big clubs but Liverpool have better history in Champions League and in last 5 seasons, they have more experience in Champions League than Inter Milan. Inter Milan only are able to pass through qualification round in this season and their current players don't have enough experience in direct rounds. With result from the first leg, I believe that Liverpool and Klopp will secure their advantage and beat Inter Milan in aggregated result.

Inter Milan are not weak but they need more time just like Liverpool. I believe if they can keep their key players and improve their squad with some good new players, they will become stronger in next 2 or 3 seasons.
2111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 09, 2022, 02:25:11 AM
It is not a thing we'll argue about because we can all see that Bayern is on top,and Dortmund does not have that energy to compete with them anymore.Yes,Dortmund are playing well,but  getting equal points with Bayern to the extend they will take the league is something I see very impossible at the moment.
And Bundesliga is unlike premier league where you get other teams dragging tittle with the top team.Its only Dortmund that gives a little competition to Bayern in the bundesliga.The league is for Bayern,and there is nothing Dortmund can ever do to meet them up.
Dortmund don't have stable form like Bayern and they have more bad matches than Bayern so in general, during a whole long season, they lose more points than Bayern. In return, they have less total points than Bayern and fail to get Bundesliga title. It usually happens in many seasons not only for Dortmund but also for other competitors in Bundesliga.

Bayern have history, domination, better player resource and more important, better belief in themselves. Because they have support from history, from previous seasons, their players begin match with a strong belief that they can win it and in the end of season, will win Bundesliga. Other clubs and their players can begin a season like this but after some bad results, they lose their belief which in turn will drag their performance down.

To have good questions, you must have knowledge and experience which are not what newbies have. Scam projects aim at newbies at most because they are more vulnerable to scam. They don't have experience to see risk and when they invest in their very first crypto projects, they simply think of bright future with good profit.

If you ask questions and receive polishing answers, it does not mean you can believe that project is good. Sometimes scammers are very well to answer your questions, make you hope high and make their project goes viral. However, quality of their project does not only come from their answers. You see and check their real products.

Kylian Mbappe included in PSG's Champions League squad to play their second leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday despite his knock in training season.
It can be a Muddy a water tactic from PSG. The situation in training is real but I think PSG tried to exaggerate it and give hope to Real Madrid that they can play the match without their most dangerous player, Mbappe.

Quote
I was about picking Real Madrid straight winning but as Mbappe is available now it'll be away to qualify. His missing the vast majority of us consider them out. However the other players simply have huge names yet can't get the work down for the team. Hopefully, PSG management didn't force him to play regardless of a physical issue. However, It make sense that they can't risk not having their best player and goal scorer in the field of play.
I don't see how you can think Real Madrid can easily to win PSG without Mbappe. They are a big opponent for Real Madrid and nothing is easy in Champions League when big clubs fight each other to move next. Mbappe scored a late winning goal for PSG in the first leg which will be a pressure for Real Madrid and advantage for PSG in the second leg.

Real Madrid can win it but they will have to beat a strong opponent so it won't be an easy match for them.

My assumption is that Barcelona can no longer be underestimated in every match even though the opponent is a strong team like Real Madrid. Look at their last few match and I think it was a great performance after they started the season badly.
They are in good position with recent very good results but they over expect on Barcelona. They are in transitional time with many young players and support from old players. Xavi and some new comers in winter transfer do help Barcelona to improve their performance and position on the table. But please let them be and don't kill them with your over expectation.

Quote
Xavi who came as the successor to Koeman could not change the game and the mentality of the team quickly where he had sacrificed two important competitions this season [Champions League & Copa Del Rey]. Barcelona have been in good form since Adama and Aubameyang were signed in January, it has fueled the team's spirit to win match. But we will know if they are really good when they play in El-Clasico on March 20, we will know the answer later. Now Barcelona's focus is on the Europa League round of 16 against Galatasaray.
Barcelona can set their high target in Europa League but in La Liga, it is unrealistic to think they will be able to catch Real Madrid. Ending this season with a third position is already a big achievement for them. In best ending, they can take over the second position from Sevilla but with 11 matches left, they won't be able to catch and surpass Real Madrid.

It looks like United's management made a huge mistake when instead of "an inexperienced maybe interim manager" they hired another interim manager. Even if United manage to get some of the top coaches in the summer, it could turn out that the players have already forgotten how to be disciplined and how to behave under tough management, this is fraught with problems within the team.
A few seasons ago, people thought that main issues belong to coach position and fired Mourinho. Then they hired Solskajer with hope that he can bring Manchester United traditional mentality back. He failed and Ragnick came, almost failed too. Now, back to the main issues that very likely in their players. Professionality, discipline and attitude to contribute for the club with their best.

If players who receive hundred thousands of dollars per week don't contribute their best with good discipline in training and in matches, coaches can not do anything. It's time to get rid of unprofessional players in Old Trafford. They must think of this serious step first before considering of a better coach.

I think 13 points gap from OGC Nice looks safety for PSG keep stay on 1st standing position and have chance as the champion of Ligue 1, maybe against with OGC Nice last week not as important match for PSG because they have waiting by Real Madrid on 2nd leg champion league where this competition as important decision for PSG to get trophy, beside Ligue 1 keep as their target to be winner but I think PSG really want to know how they can get champion league trophy for the first time.
It is a big difference and safe enough for PSG to relax a little bit. They have more important task in Champions League with Real Madrid are waiting in Bernabeu. PSG won in the first leg with a superb late goal from Mbappe but Real Madrid will be more attacking aggressively and more dangerously in the second leg. Especially the second leg match will be hold at Bernabeu, their home stadium.

Ligue 1 is almost reserved for PSG with that difference and it will be a very big shock if PSG can not win it.

Manchester derby is not looks interested derby because have different quality between Manchester United and Manchester City, I think not as potential derby because United is not rival again for Manchester City and always easy how to defeat United how ever play as home or away. This primer league season twice first and second season always Manchester City dominance and winning with four goals. I think have over with Manchester United right now and looks not as potential team will finish on 4th standing position after Arsenal take United position and still have two match left than Manchester United.
It's painful for Sir. Alex to watch the derby where Manchester United players did not show their best ability and efforts. They gave up too soon and easily beaten by Manchester City. They can be beaten but how they lost the derby is painful and unacceptable. It is not what happened under Sir. Alex management.

Manchester United will have to sacrifice a few seasons and begin (again) with a new strategic plan to rebuild their team, with young and gifted players. They must have a long plan for it, like Arsenal. Even they will have to sacrifice a few seasons without Champions League. Pogba should leave so do Maguire, Rashford etc. They put so much money for Pogba, believe in him, give him time but what he performs is not good as what the club expected. It's time to make a big change in their squad, begin with coming summer.

Scudetto competition will be fiercer this season, Milan's success in defeating Napoli has made them currently at the top of the standings, although Inter Milan still has 1 game postponed, but I see that Inter Milan schedule is quite difficult going forward because they still have to face several strong teams, however it's different with milan which actually leaves relatively easy opponents for them at the moment, I think Milan will be the favorites to win the scudetto this season if they can maintain consistency in the game in the remaining matches.
Napoli was beaten and fell down on the table but they are still in the competition. Inter Milan still have one more match so AC Milan only have a temporary advantage but to be fair, this temporary advantage brings pressure on Inter Milan and Napoli. It does not mean Inter Milan will be able to win the rescheduled match. Napoli have most disadvantage among three candidates for Scudetto but even before the defeat by AC Milan, I also thought Napoli have less chance to win Scudetto.

So sum up, it is mostly a race between Inter Milan and AC Milan which is interesting enough. Inter Milan have control on their hands but if they fail to win in the rescheduled match, they will waste one great opportunity to surpass AC Milan.

Liverpool will play with all their main players and they really want to win to be able to close the gap between the points with the leader of the table, I think they are too favorites to win which is very natural when you see Liverpool's recent performance which is really very strong.
All things seem to support Liverpool but West Ham have enough good quality to make surprise. Liverpool can dominate the match but if they fail to score goals or their defense suddenly make mistakes, who knows what will happen and what ending of the match will be?

Quote
it is true that West Ham are also in good form this season by being in 5th place in the standings but it is very difficult for the visitors to steal points when playing at Anfield stadium.
with the odds that the bookie opens I don't think it's wort to choose Liverpool to win, I bet on goal over in this match.
As said, West Ham have their chance and their players can do something big. I believe Liverpool have more chance to win and also believe they will win but if anyone asks me to bet for Liverpool in this match, I would say no. It is not safe for me to bet with such odds in this match. I will simply watch the match this weekend and simply enjoy football.
