Messi and CR7 are probably going to be retired by the time the next world cup comes.

They are now just trying to get as much money as they can before retirement. It's not like they are playing for the fun of soccer, it is just money for them.

They could also stop playing and they would be earning more in ads. Pirlo and others are making a lot of money appearing in ads in Dubai for example.

All the players, in their last 2-3 years of the career try to amass as much as money as possible. It is their retirement package. In case of Messi, he has a deal with Inter-Miami and for Cristiano Ronaldo, the contract is with Al Nassr. Both of them are still taking part in world cup qualifiers at the moment, so we can't accuse them of ignoring the national duty. But 2026 World Cup is a long way off. I am not sure either of these two will be included in the national squads for that tournament (irrespective of whether they are interested or not).

@Sithara007 for now both Argentina and Portugal coaches have to include them in their squad because their citizens will revolt if these player’s say that they wanted to play but they were not allowed to play and I believe if they’re fit then sadly the coach will have no option but to add them to their World Cup squad.

@nullama now they’re only playing to increase their tally of goal’s because both have earned crazy money already and even when they will retire they’ll keep earning from sponsorship deal’s hence money is not the factor in their desire to play at the international level.

Have you heard of the news about Liverpool's possible offer for Mbappe in the near future? It is said that Liverpool will offer 300 million euros for him. I think PSG would be really willing to sell him in case there is an offer like that. Because even though PSG have to pay a lot of money to Mbappe in case of selling him early they will still be in a serious profit.

It is much better than letting him go without a transfer fee surely. In this case I assume that Liverpool wouldn't be the only team to make the same offer. Real Madrid have been monitoring his situation for a long time. I would expect them to meet the demands of PSG and Mbappe both undoubtedly.

In this case I don't think Liverpool's chance would be higher to sign him.

I see no team better for Mbappe than Madrid. Madrid are team that don't rush to sign players but once they have set you as there target then it will be very hard for y not to be there player. I still blame PSG why you should keep player that has shown you clearly that he is not willing to stay anymore but rather you persuaded him to the extent of paying more than what he deserves.

The kind of contract pen down by Mbappe that PSG are paying now is very high and at the end he will still leave because his contract expires by 2024 and he's yet to sign another contract. Mbappe's dream is too big that if he remain in PSG he can't actualise it and the best place for young stars to actualise their dreams and be brought to more light is Madrid.

In Madrid getting UCL and Balloon d'Or will be much more easier for him. By 2024 he will be going to Madrid for free which is quite unfortunate, so PSG can't make a dime from his departure.

@jakdanyel Liverpool don’t have that kind of funds so this is a baseless rumour and they’ll need to strengthen in other departments too hence I don’t see this move happening. @Usasauki2004 yea for now Real Madrid is the only team seriously showing interest in him but I feel that Chelsea can also pay him crazy money and lastly he’s already worked under Poch hence Chelsea could be another destination for Mbappe.
243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ? Lega Serie A ?? (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024? on: October 22, 2023, 12:10:17 PM

Verona vs Napoli, as I'm writing the score is 1-3 with goals from Politano and a brace from Kvaraskhelia for Napoli and Lazovic for Verona. My doubts did not come true, despite the absence of Osimhen, Napoli played a really good match full of action, unfortunately Verona continues to lose and is a candidate for a potential relegation team to Serie B

The fact that Napoli is able to win and score goals without Osimhen is a very positive thing. It means that it doesn`t depend solely and exclusively on the Nigerian attacker.

Dependence on just one player is never a good or wise thing, even if the player loves the team (he could get injured)

Obviously! Osimhen is important for Napoli but he must not be indispensable to win matches, but in direct clashes between top teams his presence will make the difference or at least we hope so, next week at the Maradona stadium there will be Napoli Milan, we still don't know whether Osimhen will be present or not, but in case of absence we could evaluate whether Napoli still has the strength to beat a big team without their best striker

@Lillominato89 I’m surprised that Napoli won and while this will definitely lift up their spirits but I feel that the player’s should remain grounded as it’s a long season ahead and they need to constantly perform if they wish to secure a top 4 spot for themselves. Lastly Victor has single handedly won them many game’s but the poor treatment that they gave him has effected his confidence and now it’s best for both parties that he moves on to a new club.

I agree with you very well, Manchester united isn't in their best of form but tonight performance was commendable, they had better coordination than they used to in their previous games, they still have a little challenge with their defense line although they did better today, playing from away it would be expected of Manchester united to draw but they had a deserving win today.

McTominay needs be applauded as he has recently been exceptional, he has recorded two goals in two matches back to back,  he is gradually attracting the needed attention, I wish he does even better before the season ends. Ten hag still needs further improvement as this win today though we'll deserving is not good prove enough that he has got the level of improvement required of him.and onana needs to start working towards keeping clean sheets as he is always conceding goals in almost every match.
That's what I thought. If we look at their performance in the last few weeks (before matches against Brentford and Sheff United), it can be seen that they are in trouble and they don't have a good rhythm when on the field. I think they really need to improve as soon as possible to be able to compete in the Premier League and a win would mean a lot for Man United because it's not just about maintaining their position in the standings but it will also grow their morals.

Looking at the matches against Brentford and Sheff United, it can be seen that Man United is starting to improve. It's certainly not their best performance, but their rhythm of play is starting to look consistent and their defensive line coordination is also starting to take shape quite well.

@abhiseshakana as a Red devil’s fan I’m glad that we secured those 3 vital points but we didn’t win it convincingly against the worst team in the premier league so that’s an concern for me. Lastly Maguire had a good outing yesterday and it’ll be interesting if Ten Hag decides to play him more often but he could even regret his decision to play Maguire as the next two fixtures are the champions league match and a match against City.

How do you think Stake ranks compared to other casinos in the market? More and more casinos are accepting cryptocurrencies.

Right, more casinos and all kinds of services on the internet are getting more open when comes to accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is a good thing for us who believe decentralized assets are part of the future of economy.

Stake is one of the biggest and most trusted casinos around here, I would say it is definitely in the top 10 of internet casinos, they could even be among the top 5, in overall experience. There are other good casinos which are part of the competition, I have tried some of them, but the one where I have wagered the most is Stake.

Also, I wonder if more casino which are land based will start to accept Bitcoin as well in the future of will stay only Fiat.
Yes, the competition in the online casino industry is getting high and interesting. With this high rate of competition, casinos will do well to attract more customers to their sites. The casinos that are in the forum which I know that are doing well and I can name some even though not all. Stake, Shuffle, coins.game, Roobet, Rollbit, Trustdice etc. These are some of the competitive casinos in the forum, though Shuffle is new to me but their services are very good. I don't think any land base casino accept bitcoin. In my country, online casinos are not accepting bitcoin. Casinos accepting bitcoin is also base on the country and the countries that do not accept bitcoin probably might not allow online casinos to accept bitcoin as well.

@Agbe I have never followed any review sites but I have always followed what the user’s posted here and based on it Stake has an solid reputation and will continue to grow. Furthermore for those who don’t know Stake was successful because their owner’s are the same as PD and they had the funds and the experience of scaling it up and as for their competition let’s refrain from talking about them here as this is a Stake ANN.

As is new tradition, bet against United on both their games this week -- my hot tip. Even a handicap acca for ye who don't like risk brings warmth.
Are you sure you are betting on Sheffield against Man United?
There is no easier team to win in Premier league now, but they managed to win against few years ago so maybe history repeats again Wink

Newcastle should win at home and odds are not bad with when super boosted.
This is good chance for Newcastle to get closer to Champions League zone,

@buwaytress you maybe onto something because Manchester United injury crisis has exploded with both Casemiro and Amrabat injured meaning a weak midfield and further Sheffield can exploit the left back position too. Also, Newcastle should win because they have been in an amazing form and Howe is working miracles when all had expected him to fail.

New round of the majestic 7 is coming back after International Break, dont forget to submit your prediction. Haaland, Salah, and Son seems to be a must to pick this round and maybe there will be many free bets in the upcoming round as this round seems to be easier than the previous rounds. Of course there is no guarantee, some time the result is better when I think the round is hard to predict and some other time the result is unexpected when I feel that the round is easy to predict. Good luck guys.

@Bitnity the first match post the international break is really tricky for most of the player’s as they’re often tired and many even carry minor injuries so research well about your selections. Lastly this will be the weekend of surprises so if you’ll want to experiment and select someone you usually wouldn’t then this is the perfect time to select that player and test your luck.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 20, 2023, 01:49:15 PM
Actually, I have already stated some of my opinions in other threads, but here perhaps more people will provide opinions to strengthen my beliefs.
I have a little doubt about Napoli who will play against Verona and my doubts always focus on their mainstay player, Victor Osimhen, who currently looks erratic or inconsistent, has had a slight decline in performance and I doubt if Napoli can win this away match even though Verona is considered not very strong but they got home advantage and had the opportunity to use a defensive strategy and end the match in a draw.
I'm worried that a surprise will happen in this match while I also placed a bet on this match.
I don't even plan to bet on Napoli winning that match. Because Napoli, who will not be strengthened by Osimhen, will clearly experience a decline in building attacks. For me, this match is more likely to end in a draw. Osimhen's injury will clearly have a big impact. Even though Osimhen will only be absent in the next 3 matches. But Napoli will definitely have difficulties in these 3 matches. Because they are used to relying on Osimhen at the spearhead of their attacks.

And Napoli's performance was even a little disappointing in their last match. like when Napoli had to accept defeat at home to Fiorentina. I think this has made everyone start to doubt this team's performance this season. Because usually Napoli are unbeatable when playing as hosts. But this season is completely different.

@Arenga I personally feel that one should avoid wagering on Napoli because they’re in complete mess and I’m not surprised if their decline continues. Furthermore I’m eagerly waiting for Victor to leave the club because he deserves a better club who values him and matches his ambitions and sadly Napoli is no longer that club and lastly I’m hoping that he can secure a transfer away as early as the January transfer window.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 20, 2023, 07:12:10 AM

I know that Barcelona will still take back that first position from Real Madrid before the end of this tournament, because Barcelona started this season well and there is a hope that they can still make things happen just to make their fans happy again. Barcelona coach and Real Madrid coach are trying to prove to people that they have what it takes to help their team to achieve this la Liga league title which it will not going to be easy for any team this season but this two teams are still standing to drag the title again. Since the draw matches caused Barcelona to reduced points show that they have hope of dominating in their remaining matches to recover from their losses.
Don't be too quick to conclude cause both teams started very well and same way Barcelona are trying to perform well and top the league that's same energy Realmadrid is using to maintain their position on the 1st place, tough it was a little tough earlier when Vinicius Junior was absent from the club due to injury, they only depended on Jude Bellingham as their major source of goal and sometimes get a winning goal at the late hours of the game, bit since Vinicius Junior arrived their wining streak and goal margin have been so impressive.

 Barcelona would no doubt try to retain the title this season they'll give all their best to get back to the top, but would face a very big competition from their rival Realmadrid and one of the ways they could top the league or defend their title is by beating Madrid home/away and winning alot of games before the season ends but it's not going to be easy as anyone thinks cause Realmadrid are currently the best performing team in Laliga currently.

@QueenVera currently it’s a three way race as Girona is also trying to win the La Liga title and if Barcelona and Real Madrid slip then Girona may just win it hence my suggestion is to keep an eye on all 3 team’s performances. Lastly Real Madrid have a lead of 3 points over Barcelona and if they continue to win then pressure will slowly and steadily start to build on Barcelona’s head coach Xavi.
250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 20, 2023, 02:32:22 AM

Bayern Munich's next game will be against Mainz and since there is not much gap between them and the first place in the league, I think the match between Bayern Munich and Mainz is pretty much easy to predict because during the past five games, Mainz had they never won a game and have four loses which a reason to say they are not in the good form at all.


With the current condition of Bayern, it is quite natural that we see a bet that is not too balanced and too far away like this but 1.30 seems less attractive to bet because it is too small even though we know that the conditions will definitely be an easy win.
Mainz are currently one of the clubs with the most fragile defence as in 7 games played, they have conceded 19 times and haven't even got a win yet this season so this will be an easy win for Bayern as they are in much better shape with Kane in the line-up.

@red4slash I agree that the odds are way too less and therefore I would suggest to wager during the live match if Bayern concedes first because only then can we expect to see decent odds. Furthermore there’s a big chance that Kane could be left on the bench because he’ll probably be exhausted due to playing game’s for England and he’ll need rest to recover for Bayern’s upcoming game’s.

-snip-
The club has not been on good terms with Victor Osimhen for a long time due to which there are rumors that the player might change clubs soon. Napoli will lose a major superstar if Victor Osimhen changes clubs and if the news of his change is true. We also don't know any news about which star Napoli will add to their team after leaving this talented player. Victor Osimhen could be seen in the English Premier League if he leaves the club next winter. Chelsea have a great chance to sign this player. Chelsea have been in a poor position for a long time and may be interested in signing the Nigerian star to change their performance. If Chelsea takes this Nigerian star into the team, their team's performance will change a lot.
Victor Osimhen would not have had such a big impact on Chelsea's performance had the other players not been in really good form. Osimhen is a striker who can do his job well, but without support from other players he will be lost in the heat of the game.

The striker must be supported by a creative midfielder, as well as a great winger. A player like Osimhen is no different from Haaland or another main striker, but he has something that can be used to make an impact on a team that has the desire to improve. Chelsea would be great to get him as their main striker instead of Nicolas Jackson, but will the move happen?
Chelsea's situation is not good at all, they have looked at Victor Osimhen to improve their situation. It is true that a good quality striker can never change the entire performance of a team but even if he can't change all the performances, he can make enough impact in the game. In addition to signing Victor Osimhen, Chelsea will have to make a lot of changes in their plans because if they only buy a striker but do not change the plan, their performance will never improve. New manager, new players and new plans, this team is not getting success. With Victor Osimhen in the team, we expect Chelsea to return to their best form again.

@Litzki1990 Victor will easily settle in at Chelsea because now the player’s will know that they have a proven goal scorer among themselves and it’ll give them more confidence and Poch will accordingly be able to set up his team around Victor. Lastly while Chelsea do need a player like him so does Real Madrid and they maybe tempted to sign him even though they’re keen on Mbappe who’s yet to confirm if he’ll ever join them.

I know we are still far away and any can happen, but i see yesterday game of Messi and man, he still play better than the young ones, so i can see him if nothing strange happen, being one of the best in the 2026 world cup. Only he needs to preserve himself from injuries.

Choosing to go and play in the USA and in that team that occupied the last position in the league table in the USA, in my opinion it was the worst choice that Messi made, if his intention was not to retire due to football, then yes it was a serious mistake to have been on that team. This is because without playing against good players, next year he will start to drop in performance, as a result he will not be able to have much shine in the Argentine main team. and looking at the argentina team, they have a lot of good players, but they don't have any replacement for messi, probably on the day that messi stops playing, and the day that ronaldo stops playing, then the world of football will miss them so much

It's unbelievable that the years have passed and no players are appearing with the same brilliance and talent that Messi and Ronaldo have. It seems that perhaps only in the coming decades will we be able to see other players with the same talent, before these players came Maradona and Pele. Of course, there are many other players with talent, but they don't reach the same level of talent and popularity that Messi and Ronaldo managed to achieve. unfortunately they are in the last years of their career. In another 2 to 4 years they will stop playing football, this means that in the next World Cup, I'm talking about the one in 2026 due to their age, it will be the last for both of them, that is if they also manage to have the physique to be in the 2026 World Cup.

@Slow death at his age it made sense because he wanted to play in a league where he could get regular match fitness and keep himself ready for international games but I didn’t think that he would actually be keen to play in the 2026 World Cup. Furthermore the era of Messi and Ronaldo is over in context of European football and now it’s time for Halland and Mbappe because these two will be dominating football for a very long time now.

Obviously India should not take Bangladesh lightly. Especially after the 2007 ODI World Cup. During this tournament, India was kicked out in the group phase after losing consecutive matches to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Bermuda was the other team in the group, and India managed to defeat them by a margin of 257 runs. And this was the main trigger after which the ICC decided to keep associate nations away from main tournaments (Bangladesh was not an associate back then, but the blame fell on smaller nations).
No team should be underestimated in cricket because in the match that was played between Netherlands and South Africa in the current world cup nobody thought that Netherlands could beat South Africa. But the Netherlands eventually won by 38 runs.
In this match too, India is not looking down on Bangladesh as Bangladesh has defeated India several times in history and even in the World Cup, India lost to Bangladesh and was eliminated from the knockout stage.

@Helliumz the momentum is with team India and I doubt that they’ll let their guard down against Bangladesh now because they very well know that Bangladesh is a tricky opponent and hopefully they’ll try and not give them the chance of playing their natural game. @Sithara007 what’s happened in the past won’t be repeated today because team India have world class bowlers and player’s who can bat till the very end hence they should be able to defeat Bangladesh.

This is a great track for a sprint race.
Just ban Verstappen and it will be a great weekend to watch

That or the other teams should pick up the slack and actually make their car faster.  They pay millions on engineers ffs.  Can't they just give the fans a competitive car?  It's not Red Bull and Newey's fault that they're doing a good job in designing a fast car.  And isn't making a great, fast car the whole point of F1?

I mean yeah, Alpha Romeo, Haas and the smaller teams prolly should be given a break and we shouldn't expect too much.  But Ferrari and Mercedes?  No excuse.

I agree,it is not the fault of a great driver who has refused better teams and stayed at Redbull even when Redbull was not at all dominating the Championship,I give credit to him for the loyalty given to Redbull which has been rewarded with 3 consecutive World Titles.I liked him when he said after winning his first title via radio "Let's do this for another ten years together" which again showed great belief in the team.

I also agree with the fact that Ferrari and Mercedes has absolutely no excuses when it comes to their budget and I would also add one of the oldest and successful teams of F1 history which they hold the fastest ever world record pit stop,McLaren also has no excuses.

@swogerino how long are we going to continue to hope that Ferrari will step up because year after year they’re only feeding us excuses and now I’m totally done with their excuses. Furthermore I was hoping that he could join Ferrari and give them a boost but after reading about about his loyalty comments I doubt that he’ll ever even consider joining them.

The first match in the T20I tri-series between Nepal, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates will start in around 25 minutes from now. Nepal is hosting this tournament and all the matches will be played at the Mulpani Cricket Ground. Obviously they will be the hot favorites, as they have home advantage as well as good momentum. The first match is between Nepal and United Arab Emirates. UAE is going through a state of flux, after several of their players got banned during the last two years for match-fixing. Aayan Afzal Khan is captaining a relatively less experienced squad.  
According to the current situation we are looking that Nepal has made 51 runs with the lost of 2 wickets and they have played 9 overs. While I am writing the post they have lost one more wicket. And this is not good for Nepal team. They have scored at the run rate of 5.77 and they require 8.09 run rate. Which is quite high. Nepal has now bowling pressure from UAE so I think UAE will win this match. Smiley

@ThemePen Nepal bowler’s have done a good job by restricting UAE batsmen to score just 140 runs and currently Nepal have lost just 3 wickets for 66 runs in 11 overs and therefore they’re yet in control of the match. However if they lose 2 - 3 quick wickets then we can say that they’ll probably lose the game but for now I strongly feel that Nepal can yet win it because they yet have 9 overs to bat and the target is small.

Bad news! The Brazilian striker will have to wait for the test result from the doctor to know the severity of the injury and how long it will take for him to return to football. But it had been confirmed that he injured his left knee and had to leave the stadium with the aid of clutches. But it seems the Brazilian is in high spirits after he posted on a social media platform that he believes that God knows everything and will see him through these trying times.
  Al Hilal will be very disappointed by this injury and they will wish that it is not a serious one that will keep him out of play for a long time. But I believe that they will be willing to take the loss because everyone knows that Neymar is an injury-prone player. But they felt he would be an asset which was why they had to spend a whopping 90 million euros ($98 million) for his transfer from the French side Paris Saint-Germain.

I was actually wondering how Neymar managed to play so many matches in Saudi Professional League without getting injured. Anyway, now the expected has happened. He is just 31 years old, but I don't really know why he is so injury prone. He suffered the knee injury during Brazil's qualifier match against Uruguay, and had to be carried away in a stretcher. Anyway Al Hilal would be mad about it. First they released him so that he can take part in the CONMEBOL qualifiers and now he has picked up an injury.

@Sithara007 while it’s true that he often gets injured but yet he’s a valuable asset when fit and he’s yet not settled in this league but once he does I’m sure that he’ll score lots of goals and justify his transfer fee. Lastly I’m praying that he recovers soon and can be back on the pitch asap because he can yet deliver a lot for his new club and it’s really fun to see him play when he’s at his best.

Netherlands won the match and the tournament is getting interesting with this upset and two upsets in 3 days of time frame, probably this is going to be the most exciting edition as far as I know because its still the early days of tournament, and we witnessed two upsets already.

Tomorrow we have New Zealand vs Afghanistan match at Chepauk which is highly spin friendly, so hopefully there can be another thriller tomorrow if AFG batters did decent job another important news Kane Williamson will not be available due to the injury which is going to be a major concern for NZ in the upcoming matches.

@Bitcoin Smith I think now we have reached a stage where the upsets will stop happening because all the team’s should now be aware that if they don’t put in their best performance they’ll end up losing the game. Lastly while Afghanistan will have the advantage due to their spinners yet I feel that New Zealand shall be able to beat them due to their experience and superiority of their player’s.

In the Premier League it was Wolves that was the first team to beat Manchester City this season which inflicted their first Premier League loss. Arsenal were the second team to defeat Manchester City and that resulted in back-to-back Premier League defeats for them.

@JollyGood I doubt that Arteta will let overconfidence sink in his player’s now because last season when they became over confident they ended up losing the league title hence I’m sure that he’ll be telling them to focus hard and not take anything for granted. Furthermore Poch is getting better now and this could be an excellent opportunity for him to tell the world that Chelsea is ready to take on any team now hence I expect Chelsea to give Arsenal a pretty hard time and thus the game may just end up being a draw?

It is very sad that De Bruyne was only able to complete 1 match in the League this season and had to be replaced due to injury. I can say that currently there is no player who can play a role as good as De Bruyne as a tempo maker for City's game in the middle of the field. Even though you have a striker like a goal machine like Haaland, without sufficient ball distribution it will be difficult for Haaland to repeat his extraordinary performance last season.
When a player who is often relied on by the team is injured and has to be absent for a long period, of course this will have a big impact on the appearance and performance of a team like Manchester City. So this is also normal because substitute players are always not the same as the players the team often relies on in certain lines and even attacking players like Haaland can't do much when one of the mainstay players is absent.

Quote
As you said, his teammates are fine but the problem is that the 2 defeats City have suffered at the start of the season will slightly hinder their chances of winning the title. I'm not saying City can't win the League, it's just that this time it won't be as smooth as the previous season.
Manchester City still deserves to be considered as a team that is in the category of fighting for the title again this season, but with the two defeats that Manchester City has experienced, of course this will be an obstacle for him if the rival team can continue to win consistently until the end of the season. However, over time we also need to see how the match results are obtained by rival teams this season so that Manchester City's chances of winning the title again this season can be seen more clearly.

@Davian144 when you’re a big club like Manchester City you need to have player’s who can step up and at City it seems that their player’s are not stepping up because these are opportunities for others to secure a starting 11 spot for themselves. Lastly I believe Pep would have done solid analysis by now and will come up with a better tactical plan hence it’s unwise to underestimate City even in the absence of De Bruyne.

Honestly my biggest favourite for the Europa League title is Liverpool. They really care about this tournament on one hand. Because basically they are prioritizing the English Premier League. As they aren't a part of the Champions League also it might be hard to predict what they can do before watching them in the Europa League.
Im yet to determining my favorite to win the league this season. Liverpool had biggest chance to win according to the how big its odds compared with another club to win europa league.
I think that klopp will seriously put europa league as the main target caused by UCL spot for the winner of europa league. This is gonna be secondary plan for liverpool once it will be failed to go to the UCL through stay at the top 4 of its domestic league.

However I'm contented with what I have seen until now. Klopp is just focusing on resting his main players as much as possible by subbing them off early or subbing them in a little late in the game but this still doesn't affect their result badly.
Klopp is trying to make sure his players will not be exhausted once they will be facing busy schedules. There will be so many matches to happen with little gap between once match to another match.

After Liverpool I can show Roma and Leverkusen as the other strong title contenders. I'd put Roma ahead of Leverkusen despite Xabi Alonso's great work. This is because of Roma's performance with Mourinho in the European competitions in the last 2 years.  Smiley
I would prefer to take leverkusen as the strongest contender after liverpool. Roma is not that good at this moment. Im doubting mourinho's club to win europa league this season.
Im thinking now if roma is not yet ready to win UCL at this moment. Everything is remain unpredictable at this moment.

@asriloni I’m actually very surprised that Klopp is focusing on winning this competition but I strongly feel that at some stage he’ll stop focusing on the Europa League because he has an excellent chance to win the premier league title. Furthermore if possible I would like to see West Ham vs Liverpool in the finals because West Ham are playing exceptionally well in this competition and can give Liverpool a hard time if they come face to face in this competition.
