Regret indeed because it gives more confidence to bet on Lazio, because in the end they only got a draw and again in this group F still got the same result and only the difference in goal productivity determines their position. Indeed, Lazio played with only 10 players after Manuel Lazzari got a red card, whereas if Lazio were still playing with 11 players it looks like Lazio will certainly win. I just didn't expect Sturm Graz to be able to play well against Lazio, even though Lazio in Serie A were in their best performance but unfortunately, their good performance in Serie A still hasn't made Lazio lucky in the Europa League.
I am the one who confident to say Lazio will going to win the match because their home matches records looks very impressive this season on Serie A but the result was unexpected me because they only can able to share points with their opponent Sturm and indeed apparently red card incident has ruin their performance because after that Strum players looks dominated the match and got better statistics than them but Lazio still have a chance to qualifying because other match between Feyenoord vs Midtjylland also ended with draw results Lazio managed to continue their winning streak in the last four matches in Serie A. So I thought they would be able to play well in the Europa League as well. I wouldn't say that Lazio's performance was bad. But they did not win. Their defensive performance was poor after Manuel Lazzari was red carded in the first half. And Lazio lost points in this match because of defensive weakness. However, Lazio have a good chance of qualifying for the next round. I believe Lazio will not make any mistakes in the next matches, and they will win both the next matches. |

I don't know what the Juventus owner saw in Allegri so he was not willing to change the Juventus coach until now, many great coaches can be obtained for free such as tuchel or zidane temporarily managing Juventus. Napoli's performance is so much better (in series A or in UCL) when compared to Juve and this is really beyond expectation.
Juventus has been making the worst decision by still allowing allegri to manage the club. I don't know what position that will be achieved by the club at the end of season. There's no reason for juventus to use allegri anymore. It seems like juventus will be sacked allegri if juventus will face another just like 5 -10 loses in a row. What a very bad decision by the club. This club just like a mediocre club. That's right, Juventus in the Ionian season looked like an ordinary club even though the money they spent in the transfer market was not small and even Juventus are one of the teams that spend a lot of money to buy players and pay their players. In fact, I really salute Napoli and Atalanta, who don't spend a lot of money but have extraordinary quality of play, I'm sure this season belongs to Napoli, they will be the rulers of Serie A and maybe Napoli will be a big threat to the big teams who playing at UCL. They spent a lot of money, but haven't been able to play the players they brought in because some of them are injured. Even though they can play, their performance is still far from what is expected. Now the situation is complicated when they are in very bad shape. Always with negative results they get so many supporters they urge the Management to take immediate decisions to improve their performance. They were favorites at the start of the season, but now they are a team that always loses. Juventus spent a lot of money but they made mistakes in choosing the right players for their squad. They added Di Maria and Pogba to the squad. Those who are not able to play consistently well. Di Maria can perform well when the team needs him, but he has fitness issues. On the other hand, in the last few seasons, we have not had good performances from Pogba. Still why Juventus signed one of Pogba's players is beyond me. Juventus are now paying the price for their mistakes. Their position is now eighth in the points table. |

Without doubt, Union Berlin's performance this season have been outstanding. They so far won 6 out of the 9 games they have played. While, their match between Dortmund will be an interesting one. Union Berlin have high chances of winning, Although, it quite certain that it won't be an easy winning. But, I will like to see Union Berlin win inorder for them to maintain occupying the first position on the standings.
Even if Union Berlin loses in this round, they will most likely still remain in first place, since Dortmund will not have three points to overtake Union Berlin, and Freiburg will play with Bayern in this round and most likely will also lose. Not so long ago, Union Berlin hosted Bayern at home and the match ended 1:1, so the team can score points with strong teams too. But the odds of 2.3 for Borussia looks very tempting. I don't think Union Berlin will lose against Dortmund in their clash, Union Berlin has managed to play some of the top teams in the league including Bayern Munich and with their results so far, I believe they have what it takes to defeat Dortmund or secure a draw. With the last draw seen in the last week's game between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, I think Dortmund may likely have a draw again because Bayern finds it difficult to win against Union Berlin in their home so Dortmund can't defeat them in their home. Union Berlin will remain, league leaders if they lose against Dortmund because they are 4 points ahead of Bayer Munich and Dortmund s they will remain on top of the league with 1 point difference unless Freiburg defeats Bayern Munich which I don't think is possible. It is difficult to predict who will win in this match. Both teams are targeting the same result, namely victory. I don't think Union Berlin will be that easy to beat Borussia Dortmund, on the contrary Borussia Dortmund will also be difficult to get the most out of this match. Maybe a draw is a bet that will win if you look at the performance of these two teams. A home game for Union Berlin might be in their favour, but to be honest I haven't decided which team to bet on yet. Union Berlin's performance this season has surprised everyone, they have been playing brilliantly and have been able to continue their good performances very consistently. And so football experts think that the Berlin team is the favorite against Dortmund, but Dortmund will definitely be ahead in the match between Union Berlin and Dortmund. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Dortmund have won four and lost just one match. So Dortmund will want to win in the next match as well. However, it will be very difficult for Dortmund's players to break Berlin's strong defence. My prediction is that the match will draw 1-1, or Union Berlin will win 2-1. |

Finally, we can see some real competition next week. We have top-betting favorite Boston Celtics without their usual coach. And the defending champion Golden State Warriors were beset with chemistry rumors after Draymond Green knocked out Jodan Poole with a thunderous punch to the face.
It's sad that we cannot watch Chet Holmgren this season. But we wish all the best for his recovery and perhaps more weight and muscles for him in the next season.
Are all teams intact now or there are some more trades we expect? Maybe Jordan Clarkson and Russel Westbrook are on the move before the trade deadline?
The Celtics will play against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Warriors are going to play against the Lakers on the 19th of October. Both matches are going to be interesting. In preseason matches, the Philadelphia 76ers have shown strong performance and form. If the players don't get injured I think they are going to have a prosperous season. Honestly, if all the players are available I think they are going to be the most dominant team in the upcoming season. Even without Green, I believe the Warriors are a very capable team. As far as I know, they have not suspended Green at this time. Nevertheless, I think it would be better if they did so. Because of Green, there will be a lot more problems in the team heading into the future as well. Poole is performing really well and I don't know if keeping Green on the team is going to get applause from Poole. |

Just wondering if everyone invests in Bitcoin or is it worth just focusing on strong altcoins that can 20-50x in the next few years?
.
It is true that altcoins can be better than bitcoin, which can yield 20 times, 50 times or even 100 times profits but the problem is that we never know and are certain which alts will do it. We focus on the top 10 altcoins to reduce risk but they are not as safe as bitcoin offers. Do you remember Luna? being one of the top 10 coins with a market cap of $60 billion and collapsing in less than 2 weeks, it can be said that Luna reminded us of the fact that not every top coin is safe. In all market cycles, you can see the only thing is bitcoin is always on top, it always bounces back every down cycle, and the rest is still uncertain. |

What I read in the news is not the main problem but there is political pressure and also some unfulfilled promises to Mbappe so it might feel uncomfortable for Mbappe to continue to be at PSG if the situation is still like this, and also an option for Mbappe. Real Madrid has been rejected outright, it's not PSG's desire but only Liverpool who are the leading club for Mbappe if it's true that he will be sold in July, but what's surprising is that Mbappe's price tag by PSG is 400 million euros whether this will be able to Liverpoo and of course with a large salary for a purchase of that size, I'm not sure Liverpool will be able to make this offer too big even though Liverpool are a big team. It will be a dilemma of course for Mbappe but I think he will make the right decision for himself with a more comfortable club. 400 million euros is such a huge amount no club will be willing to spend on one player, I don't know what the problem is, after accepting a huge deal to remain at the club he wants to leave with just a month after the deal. If the reason you say is the case then it doesn't make sense to make promises and fail to fulfil this promises. I will really love to see him make a move to Real Madrid in January. First of all, I think it will probably be very difficult for him to settle into any other team. He has had a taste of power at PSG. In PSG he is obviously above the players. It is not going to be easy for him to let go of this kind of power. And I think he is the only player in history who is entitled to complain because of having Neymar and Lionel Messi in the team. He should understand that PSG has given him too much power and authority which he shouldn't have. Also, I do not believe that whichever team he moves to is planning to pay him such a huge salary when he joins them. And obviously, he is not going to be able to settle in Real Madrid. In my opinion, he will not have much trouble playing for Liverpool since the team actually needs strikers to make up the main squad, and I don't think there will be too much competition for him to get a place in the main squad. |

Liverpool are a weak opponent for Manchester City in form. Liverpool is now in tenth place in the points table. Their performance is not good in the last three matches.
Liverpool's last performance in the champions League this week was way better than Manchester city's so I wouldn't quite say that their performance in the last three game has not been good. Klopp even after their UCL game where they trashed the opposition Rangers by seven goals, boasted that he was ready to face Manchester city so we are all looking forward to the weekend. There is also something always about Liverpool whenever they get to play against Manchester city, they come alive! and the rivalry between both coaches is always on display. My opinion is Liverpool have a defence that can hold Manchester city if they play very composed football and also have an attack that can hurt and try the Manchester city defenders something that we have not seen from most teams this premier League season as Manchester city always get to dominate the game. In the best interest of arsenal we hope that Liverpool can either draw with Manchester city or even win them so they could stop chasing us from behind. Liverpool played very well against Rangers in the last match. They managed to score 7 goals. Even then I would say they are not consistent as a team. Liverpool have dropped points in their opening few Premier League matches. Liverpool then won 9-0 against Bournemouth. We all thought Liverpool were probably back on track and they would fight for the title. But then they started losing points again. And now Liverpool, the tenth team in the table, has scored only 10 points in 8 matches. So despite being able to score 7 goals against Rangers, there is no guarantee that we will see stable gameplay from Liverpool's players against Manchester City. I expect Liverpool to lose in this match. |

It was a great performance from the Liverpool team yesterday. But I am not going to get carried away with this victory. Manchester city game is a massive test. It’s a different level of demands. No doubt this victory has done them a lot of good, at least it has made some players increase their performance and it’s a big boost for the team’s confidence going into the Manchester City game.
It is almost certain that Liverpool will find it difficult to face Manchester City, considering their performance is quite good this season, even almost always winning big in every English league game, when compared to the results obtained by Liverpool, Manchester City is far superior in every way. We believe Manchester City will be three goals ahead in that game, because only Manchester City are still consistent in the Premier League and their strength is really balanced for all the players there. Manchester City is no longer a worthy opponent for Liverpool, Manchester City has terrible attacking power and defense is quite good, Erling Haaland the striker who is in the Manchester City team now has become a star because he has scored a lot of goals, if you compare with Messi and Ronaldo when he was young then Erling Haaland is already the winner because at the age of 22 he managed to score goals beyond these two great players. Liverpool are a weak opponent for Manchester City in form. Liverpool is now in tenth place in the points table. Their performance is not good in the last three matches. With such an unstable team, it is difficult to win against a strong team like Manchester City. But don't forget that Liverpool are an experienced and renowned team. They will definitely want to do well against City. I would say if Liverpool's defenders play well it will be a competitive match. If Liverpool's defense is weak in this match too, they will concede more than 3 goals. |

ICC is moving in the opposite direction. They were even considering giving test status to teams such as UAE and Oman. Imagine this, UAE and Oman receiving $16 million per year from the ICC, while Nepal and Kenya receiving just $200,000 per year. And they will use these millions to purchase even more players from India and Pakistan, which will force teams with native players such as Nepal to stop competing in international competitions. Rather than any other rule, the eligibility criteria has negatively impacted the associate nations and destroyed the game in their territories. Such activities do not only affect the domestic players but can also have a major impact on the cricket fans of that country. I think ICC's initiative is like when a patient is kept artificially alive with oxygen like ICC keeps cricket alive in these countries. As long as this cricket organization would not be responsible, cricket will remain in the stagnancy. @Sithara007 if ICC had given UAE test status then it would have been a real disaster, and they would have completely lost their credibility. Lastly I’m not totally opposed with country’s outsourcing player’s because it’s extremely difficult to get into India or Pakistan team, and there’re so many talented player’s who’ll never be able to show their talents if ICC scraps this policy. @Sithara007 ICC is not unbiased, we all know that. It is clear that the ICC will always place money first, even before the improvement of cricket. There's no doubt they recognize that the UAE is a very suitable neutral venue for some big matches, and probably that's why the ICC isn't trying to oppose the UAE. I also believe that ICC realizes that this can be a viable business strategy if UAE is deeply interested in cricket. So my bet is ICC is thinking money above all. @Juggy777 I think if a player is not good enough to play for the national team of his own country he should look for another job or something. He should realize that he is not good enough at cricket but maybe he will be better at some other things. |

The media has again reported the latest news about mbappe, I just read that mbappe criticized the tactics used by galtier against reims but galtier said it was legal. it seems that the super-large salary has made mbappe's ego peak, without messi's presence, it is clear that there is little support for mbappe, neymar will not do much to help mbappe on the front lines because neymar is also a lone striker.
For all my dislike of Neymar, I must say that you are wrong about him - he is great at passing and not as greedy as Mbappe. In Ligue 1, he currently has 8 goals and just one assist less -7. As for Mbappe, everything happens as I expected. Mbappe understands that now everyone is talking only about Haaland and that he is the future top 1. I think Mbappe's hysteria will soon reach a new level and we will learn a lot more from him  I know that a lot of people do not like Neymar but that's OK. The fact that Neymar has not been able to realize his true potential up until this point really saddens me. And it feels like his career is going to be over in a few years from now. But if I say that Neymar is not performing at his highest level for PSG, that would be wrong. He is playing really well for PSG in my opinion. He has a very effective link-up with Messi. But for Mbappe, I have to say that he is performing very well. However, I cannot say that he is doing well with the team. He has a really big ego. And this is just a case of PSG spoiling this player. I am telling you, if Mbappe moves from PSG now and switches to any other club, like Real Madrid, he will not be able to adapt. |

He surely outdid himself alright, saying that Khabib Nurmagomedov did not fight any good grapplers or grapplers with good hands maybe he wants to challenge Khabib to fight Jake Paul aswell, but I don't really think that Khabib will be too kind to take that bait, Well, Tyron Woodley is not really viable right now many really think he is out of his mind for saying such things, and the balls to really compare Nurmagomedov to a steroid-using fighter, for me Khabib should accept to fight Woodley in an exhibition match on MMA rules so he can see first hand what he is talking about, I think current Khabib would kick prime Woodley ass, even if they just have a wrestling fight. That would be even easier to do. And like kro55 said, Woodley feel ashamed for loosing to YouTuber, that is why he did not put himself in that top10 list  How can a person even create a top10 list, when there are there are 8 weight classes and thousands of fighters. It is understandable to create a top10 list of active fighters (like pound-for-pound list). But to compare a fighter that has retired 2 years ago with a fighter that has retired 12 years ago? Fighting styles evolve, each generation fighters are difference. How to compare Mark Coleman and Ngannou? Second would destroy first in first round. I agreed MMA is continuously changing and comparing the style of Khabib Nurmagomedov to the style of Sean Sherk is really down right Absurd, it is possible that his brain got damaged for not beating the problem child 2 times, and got knocked out even his brain cells got knockout aswell, for getting up something like this, or maybe he is trying to pull down the greatness of Khabib Nurmagomedov in trying to fight Jake Paul aswell, I really don't know what he is after, but that short legacy of Khabib will surely remember but not Tyron Woodley, Agreed with @TopTort777 because even though Khabib is quite overweight right now as he is not into fighting sports anymore, I think he would still be much better compared to Prime Woodley. Woodley couldn't live up to expectations. And I assume he is just saying these types of things just to at least stay in the spotlight. Making a list of the top 10 fighters in the UFC is almost impossible. If the least is presented like, “top ten UFC fighters in each weight class”, I think it would make more sense. @YuginKadoya , Khabib fighting Jake Paul is not going to happen in a million years. It doesn't matter how much anyone tries to do that. If any fight with Khabib can actually happen, I think it is going to be Khabib vs GSP. Dana Actually approached GSP with the proposal of fighting against Khabib after his (Khabib's) retirement. And he approached GSP in a way that GSP thought Khabib had already agreed to this fight. But Khabib was done. So, I really don't know if that fight is going to happen, even though it is going to be the biggest money fight of all time in my opinion. |

All in all - a good result for Dinamo yesterday. We needed a win but considering that Salzburg struck the bar 2 times in the last 20 minutes and was really dominant in that period of the game, we have to be happy with a draw. I would not call it undeserved - it was probably the most fair outcome.
Dinamo now has a home game against Milan - and a win there might just be enough to secure EL knockouts. Still - beating Milan won't be easy and would represent a big accomplishment.
The match was very competitive. Both teams tried equally to win the match. And I would say the defenders of both teams performed very well. If the defenders didn't play well, we would have seen a lot of goals in this match. But I think the result was satisfactory for both the parties. The battle for Group E is getting very intense. Which two teams will qualify for the next round is still completely uncertain. All four teams are likely to qualify for the Round of 16. So every upcoming match is important for all the teams. Even top-of-the-table Chelsea will not qualify for the next round if they drop points in their next matches. |

Wow, top clubs are fighting each other in week 10, Bayern Munich vs Freiburg and Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund. The results of these two matches greatly affect the position in the top four list, the match against Freiburg is very important to be won by Munich because this is a good moment for them to climb up to second place, while Bayern Munich hopes that the other Big Match match Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund gets a draw so that their distance with Union Berlin to be 2 points.
The match between Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund will take place on October 16th, so until now we still don't know who will be the winner because between the two of them have considerable strength and it feels like this match will surprise many spectators on the field which will be more lively . Union Berlin has had enough of a surprise this season. against Munich, they drew. and now against Dortmund, Dortmund is not bad, they have the same points as Munich. of course Dortmund will try hard to get points. because Dortmund's performance is inconsistent. held Munich to a draw but they lost to Koln. also lost to Leipzig 3-0. It's hard to predict this match but I want to bet on Union Berlin. I wouldn't say that Dortmund's performance is bad, but their performance is not stable. They managed to share the points with Bayern Munich but lost against Koln and Leipzig. Dortmund conceded 3 goals against both Koln and Leipzig. Their defense is not strong. They also share points with Sevilla in the Champions League match. Dortmund is probably not in good form at the moment. It will be very difficult for them to win against Union Berlin in such conditions. Because Berlin is now at the top of the table. They definitely don't want to lose the top spot. I think Berlin will be able to win against Dortmund. Because Berlin's defense is very strong. |

Ideally there should not be any foreigners in a national team. If there are foreigners, then we can no longer call that team as "national". The ICC just want to show that more countries are playing cricket. They are just trying to fool others, as in 80% of the cases these new teams are comprised of players from India or Pakistan. The ICC claims to have 100 plus countries playing cricket. In reality, the number maybe less than three dozen. All the other teams are completely comprised of foreigners and can't be considered as "national" teams. I also agree with @Sithara007 that there should not be any players from another country. That defeats the purpose of a national team. But this problem is not likely to be solved quickly. That's why I think ICC will have to take things slow. Suddenly decide not to have any foreign players on the team will make the teams which are made up of foreign players lose interest in cricket. So, I think the ICC can take some action by restricting the number of foreign players to 4-5 players in every team. And that's if ICC actually wants that to happen. Realities are completely different from ICC claims because they are having no fairness and positive things in this sport which is surely going to be the worst thing which is happening around the world under ICC because I was reading on different sports and their rules which are applying mostly needs a player only can represent adopted country if he plays or stay for around 5 to 10 years or in few cases they have few soft stances but still these are not as we have in ICC.
First this was controlled by Australia and England, so they were doing all things which were beneficial for them now it's all under control of Indian influence, so they are using this platform for their own benefit which is surely not favourable for cricket we need a powerful board where all have equal rights and can do positive things for the game.
I think this conversation about having foreign players on the team has been dragged on for quite a long time. Honestly, nothing is going to happen unless the ICC actually wants something to change. I doubt that the ICC will take any action regarding this matter soon. It will obviously be better if they just somehow manage to not have any foreign players in a national team. This would be great for the future of cricket. |

Hello Everyone,
I am not speaking about just Bitcoin. I am speaking about every cryptocurrency / token. Regardless of crypto price fluctuations, many online and offline stores are ready to accept crypto as payment. So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?
If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?
As long as crypto is not yet globally accepted, most likely people will see bitcoin or crypto as a profitable investment than just a plain currency. Although spending it is one way of promoting crypto, but at the end of the day profits is more than important. That is why I chose not to spend my crypto particularly if the value is at loss, I will just wait for a good price to sell and spend crypto like a currency. Even if bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are globally accepted but their prices are still volatile, no one will want to use them as a mere currency. In my opinion, it is not necessary to use them for spending to promote their growth and popularity. Today, it can be seen that companies and corporations investing in bitcoin also expect that it will bring profits, so as long as it is a good investment like other asset classes, it will also become popular. Honestly, I have never wanted to use my crypto assets to spend, I prefer to invest, hold to make a profit. |

There is only one possibility of US collapse if the EU joins hands with China and Russia, but that will never happen. US will collapse when China invades Taiwan (because -TSMC- reasons)... there's nothing Uncle Sam can do about that. Any counterattack will instigate WW3. Any war can bring many countries into a big mess, even US will suffer for sure. US wont suffer such default loan, it’s too impossible to happen because they all have the reserve to handle this issue and I’m sure they are already working to control their economy as they continue to increase the interest rate. Let’s just hope for a better economy soon because many can’t stay on this situation longer. Honestly, it's all just baseless speculation, the possibility of US default is impossible, they have built their empire since the 2nd world war and it must be said that they are so powerful that no one can break their monopoly. No one wants war to happen, it affects not only a few countries but it affects every part of the world, our family is also experiencing shortages, energy, goods, everything has increased in price from 15% to 20%. We are continuing to have bad days after the pandemic and now the crisis, I pray everything will be back to normal soon. |

India VS South Africa
The two teams meet again in today's series-clinching match. India won the toss and decided to bowl. And South Africa did not start their innings well. They lost the crucial wicket of de Kock by just 7 runs. And Malan returned to the dressing room with 25 runs. They lost two openers for just 25 runs in 7.5 overs. It looks like we will see a low score in this match as well. As Indian batsmen are in great form now. So India's chances of winning today's match as well as the previous match are high. The series is likely to be won by India. South African batsmen's performance against Indian bowlers is not very good.

And I have read some news about Tyron Woodley Absurd comments to Khabib Nurmagomedov that his greatness was so wrong to him, that he isn't really that great
His argument is that Khabib did not fight any good wrestler and had only strikers against him looks funny. Ok, then Tavares, RDA, Johnson with their NJCAA and a dark rainbow of BJJ belts are nothing. Funny that Woodley mention Sean Sherk as an example of a "good wrestler with good hands" that can beat Khabib Nurmagomedov. Sean Sherk, the guy that got caught for using steroid, ok Strange that Woodley did not put himself higher than Khabib. He is a wrestler with KO power Probably he did not himself above Khabib Nurmagomedov because he got knocked the fuck out by Jake Paul . The audacity of some people is just amusing to me. In all seriousness, I think Tyron Woodley is just a delusional man. It seems that he is saying these things because he has been hit on the head really hard by some YouTuber. He doesn't even know how to fight properly. And he is talking trash about the best pound for Pound fighter in the world. My personal feeling is that I do not want to add anything about this because most people already know that Tyron is just out of his mind at this point in time. |

This is really unbelievable. There is no way any foreign player should even be able to play for the country when he is not a citizen. It is obviously very unfair for any team which cannot afford to bring in foreign players to play for themselves. That's why right now we are watching a huge decline in performance for the teams which are trying to make a team out of native players. That is why teams such as Kenya and Denmark, which showed a lot of promise earlier died out completely. Including one or two foreigners is still OK (although that is not allowed in other sports). But building a team with 100% foreigners doesn't make any sense. Then how can this team be called as a "national team". I am more surprised that no one is complaining about it. The ICC doesn't care about countries such as Kenya and Nepal, and the test nations are not very supportive as well. I think I will not even worry about having 5 foreign players on the team. I can let that slide. In spite of that, having 11 out of 11 players be from another country is absolutely unbelievable. It is quite surprising that ICC is not doing anything about this. Why are they not doing anything about this? Is it just money? There are two things at play here. In the first place, the ICC wants money only. Cricket is not important to them. In addition, the big four do not want too much competition in cricket. To some extent, they control the ICC. These are the reasons why associate teams are always neglected in cricket, regardless of how much improvement they show in their performance. In the world of cricket, Kenya, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, and a number of other countries are quite neglected and underachieved. |

Barcelona's next game is against Inter Milan. Earlier, Barcelona lost 1-0 in their field. If Barcelona do not win the next match, their Champions League journey may be over. So I think since the next game will be at Barcelona's home ground, they will be able to win for sure. Good luck to Barcelona.
Barcelona must win this match to advance to the next round. But I don't think I'll be able to put them on my bet slip. They don't give me enough confidence that they can beat Inter Milan. We see that they have had difficulties in producing scores in the last weeks. Also we witness that Lewandowski is sometimes alone. A penalty could have been awarded in favor of Barcelona in the first match. We could have had different expectations before this match today. But instead of non-football issues, Xavi needs to strengthen their offensive options. Barcelona should start scoring more goals again like in the old days. Otherwise, they cannot come to an assertive position in La Liga and Champions League. Barcelona have lost two of their first three matches and have fallen far behind. Barcelona now need to win every match if they want to qualify for the next round. Importantly, Barcelona will play against Bayern and Inter Milan at Camp Nou. And Barcelona is very strong in home matches. And so I think Barcelona will be able to win against Inter Milan in the next match. However, in this match Inter Milan will play completely defensively and try to draw. We may not see many goals in the match, but the match will be competitive. |
