Paris Saint Germain are in a good situation right now, with the opponent they will face, it should be a victory for them to get in this match. It would be a shame if they had to lose in a match that makes them a big favorite. Indeed, they are always a favorite in almost every match they will do, it is inseparable from the composition of the players they have. But that also does not guarantee that they will really win in the matches they run.
Now I'm pretty sure they will be able to win the match with at least a difference of 2 goals.

PSG has always been the better side in all encounter they've had since the beginning of this season, is just that they're lost focus in some of the games even in the UCL. But tonight they face Montpellier which I don't see the away team to be a problem for the domestic champions.
It would be a smooth run for the home side, a win would make them top the table with Nice having a game at hand so if PSG blow this chance of being at the top then I see Nice who are sitting at the top getting a win and a gap (on point) above PSG.
Inconsistency is their problem at the moment, they are always the favorites but as you said sometimes they don't play according to what is expected, the result is several times they achieved unsatisfactory results despite dealing with clubs that cannot be considered strong.
Now they are slowly playing better, I don't know for sure whether they will continue to be consistent or not but they are the favorites and I myself see a good chance for them.
I hope they can play like they should and win this match.

The upcoming match is a match that will be very difficult for Chelsea, yes they will face the top of the standings this week, Tottenham. The previous match they had to endure the embarrassment of losing to Brentford at their own headquarters, now they will face a club that has not experienced defeat this season in the English League.
I doubt they will be able to make a surprise in this match, yes that's because of the inconsistency they always show, especially now they are in a state that will reduce their mentality. Most likely defeat will be felt again by Chelsea.
Tottenham Hotspur are top of the table and playing at their strongest possible level. Mauricio Pochettino is aggressively preparing to meet Tottenham's new manager, Angelos Postecoglou, this weekend. Chelsea has not lost a game against an elite team this season, instead pushing for high results despite being defeated by regular rivals, which is completely unacceptable. I am convinced that Chelsea will be the first team to hand over Tottenham Hotspur first defeats this season. Arsenal actually escaped with a tie, but Spurs have little chance against the Blues.

Do you believe Tottenham have little chance of beating Chelsea this week? I don't have the same thoughts on that. Indeed, when meeting stronger clubs, Chelsea usually play well and they are quite difficult to beat. But Tottenham must be aware of something like this, and they will not do the same thing as the clubs that met Chelsea before, for example Arsenal. Moreover, this is a match where they must continue their unbeaten trend.
It's a home game for Tottenham, so they'll be even more motivated. I prefer to bet on a Tottenham win, as their chances are wide open.

Napoli are seen playing very well almost every time in the Italian league but this time they are far behind in terms of points so winning a single match will not be a solution for them. They are already way behind in terms of points. Inter and Juventus are more likely to take the Italian league cup this year. But I wouldn't say that a turnaround is impossible for Napoli.  They have to win all the upcoming matches continuously to turn around
I wouldn't blame Napoli for their current circumstances because they missed out on one of the team's most crucial members. Luciano Spalleti fled after winning the scudetto with the Parthenopeans last season and has moved on, leaving the club with no better option than former Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia, who is now working with his new team to straighten out excellent performance. Sportiva Salernitana will play Napoli this weekend; if Napoli is interested in returning their place in the scudetto race this season, they will need to improve their standings.
Something that was feared from Napoli happened, yes they have declined after last season they were outstanding, even claiming the title when there were still many games left. The departure of their coach was talked about early on as it was feared that it would affect their performances, and it did.
Not only that, I've also seen a drop in performance from their players. Osimhen, for example, has seen his overall performance drop despite still contributing a lot to the team. I think he should find a new club, because he has great potential to be at a big club that can compete especially in the Champions League.

I will not blame Al Hilal for signing Neymar, but did they not consider beforehand that this player has a history of recurring injuries? This should have been their consideration from the start, because after all it will hurt them when after spending a lot of money, but the player cannot play and contribute to the team, especially since his injury is expected to take a very long time even until the end of this season.
Al Hilal have taken that risk from the start, and they should be able to accept it when it comes now.
That's right, Al Hilal was ready for all the risks when they decided to recruit Neymar from PSG, even though now they have to accept the reality of losing their star for a long period of time.  Talking about financial losses, it seems like this won't give them a headache, because we know they have a fairly large budget.  On the other hand, Neymar will be absent from all competitions at both club and national team level, it would be quite a shame to see his career constantly struggling with injuries.
 
Al Hilal is still fine even though Neymar didn't do anything, it is evident that they are still at the top of the SPL standings at the moment.  However, the attraction of fans has been reduced due to the injury of their star, I think the January transfer market will be the right step to recruit new stars so that fans will be enthusiastic about supporting them again.

Yes, it should be, and I agree with you about the financial loss they have incurred. I don't think it's a big deal with their good financial condition. I don't think it's even close to what they spent in the transfer market.
Maybe as a club there will be disappointment, but again I say he is a player who has a history of frequent injuries, so the risk should have been taken from the beginning, even before they decided to sign Neymar.
On the other hand, Neymar must not want to experience something like this, but what can be made because he is also often sidelined due to injury.

Erik Ten Hag knows what he's doing, he just need more time to deal with the present challenges he's facing in Old Trafford. Injury players are returning back to trainings and getting prepared for forthcoming games. Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan Bisakka warms up, though they're not yet prepared but actually getting 100% ready to fall back in actions for Manchester United. Since their absence, their roles have not been properly replaced, rather it contains faulty actions from their backup replacements. I believe with the present of these returning players, Manchester United defendlines will improved and formidable against oppositions this season.
and now Ten Hag must be aware of how unbalanced the quality of the players in his squad and also on his bench is. when some of the players he relies on cannot play, their team's performance will be destroyed. that's what we now see from the Ten Hag squad.
He will propose to release several players and bring in those that suit his wishes in the transfer market later. whether his quality in increasing the potential of players is lacking or whether he only focuses on game strategy. not to improve and maximize the potential of the players he has.
An uneven squad is indeed one of the problems faced by Erik Ten Hag. But I personally see things like this cannot be used as an excuse for the decline in performance from Manchester United. As a coach, he must really have good control of the players he has.
If they can perform with a full squad, or in other words, injured players can return to play but they still perform as we see now, then I think management must make a firm decision. Because when they wait longer, it is feared that they will get worse.

There is a Osasuna - Girona game as well tomorrow. Girona are of course favoured by bookmakers thanks to their great form in the league. However I can't say that there is a big gap of odds between these teams. Besides they played against each other two times in the La Liga and Girona couldn't win any of them.

However I'm curious about whether this great form will be enough for Girona to get another win. Their away record has been really impressive so far. They are the second best team on that. But I still doubt them a lot for this game. Maybe I can go for both teams to score option but even that seems quite risky.
Girona are unexpectedly in a very strong situation now, and they are even in second place after they were able to collect 28 points, the same points as Real Madrid at the top of the table. I think they will continue their winning trend against Osasuna.
Osasuna is an unpredictable club right now, they are experiencing ups and downs in every match they run. Their lack of solid defense should be exploited by Girona's attackers, as they are good at attacking. Despite being the visitors, betting on them is quite interesting.

Manchester united group are not poor group, but base on the preparations that is going on in the camp of Manchester united now, it show that Manchester united will win their next games to maintain a good leading till they get to final to try their best to lift the trophy.
MU should have had a chance to qualify for the group phase. But it seems that with its current performance, MU is having quite a difficult time. Ten Hag's squad's performance had improved, but after several players were injured, Ten Hag lost its strength.
they struggled quite hard last season to get a UCL ticket. but it seems like they didn't show a good game to compete with the other competing teams.
The results of MU's matches with Man City and Newcastle made everyone assess how bad Ten Hag's squad is at the moment. it's hard to compete in the UCL.
The chances of them qualifying from the group stage are still open, the problem is that it is difficult because if they want to ensure that they will qualify one of them is by winning all the remaining matches. It's okay that they can win against Copenhagen, but against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich it's going to be a much tougher job. Galatasaray will also be playing their hearts out against Mancehster United. A draw in my opinion would be enough for them, although we also have to see the result of their match against Copenhagen.

Yes this war can change some thinks, not related to the football itself but yes it can change one thing we alredy talk about in this thread, and that think is how USA allows the people to enter his country to see the World CUp, this can make much worse or difficult to get a visa for muslim countries.
One of the problems when the World Cup will be held in the US is that it is difficult to get a visa there. I think there will be policies that will ease access to watch the World Cup live. FIFA will also definitely find a solution to this, because one of the things that will make the World Cup lively is the presence of many people watching from abroad. If access to it is still difficult then don't be surprised when the next World Cup will not be as lively as usual.
The designated country must also be more able to adjust, because this is a party that everyone is always waiting for.

Tomorrow in French Soccer League will start the match of PSG vs Montpellier team. I am thinking to bet on this match. PSG team is very strong. PSG team performed very well in the previous matches. Because of that PSG team is now in the 2nd position in the points table.  On the other hand, Montpellier team is now at number 11. Looking at the last 5 matches between the two teams, PSG team has won 4 matches out of 5 matches and lost 1 match. Montpellier has won 2 matches out of 5 matches, drawn 2 matches and lost 1 match.
Paris Saint Germain are in a good situation right now, with the opponent they will face, it should be a victory for them to get in this match. It would be a shame if they had to lose in a match that makes them a big favorite. Indeed, they are always a favorite in almost every match they will do, it is inseparable from the composition of the players they have. But that also does not guarantee that they will really win in the matches they run.
Now I'm pretty sure they will be able to win the match with at least a difference of 2 goals.

Yes, I agree with this even though without Harry Kane, Bayern Munich already looks very strong, always leading the Bundesliga at the end of the season and the presence of Harry Kane gives Tuchel enormous strength because this player truly capable of being relied on all situations and not surprising that at this time this player highly favored because the talent he has able to make good contribution to Munich and Tuchel as a coach is quite happy to continue to provide the right strategy training to continue to be best club and be able to perform consistently in every competition.
We hope that Bundesliga will still be dominated by Munich, but if that fails, Munich must be able to win Champions League title.
I don't think with Bayern Munich looks very strong without arriving Harry Kane, almost 12 of 34 goals scoring by Harry Kane in Bundesliga and he scored 2 goals in Champion League looks how essential with Harry Kane contribution for Bayern Munich. Not only with goal productivity but also Harry Kane have good contribution by creating 5 assists in domestic league and 2 assists in Champion League.

I doubt with Bayern Munich goals productivities without arriving Harry Kane and how their goals productivity, but little disappointed with Harry Kane can't winning DFB Pokal after Bayern Munich eliminated in 16th round. Harry Kane want to stop without trophies achievement by accepting Bayern Munich offering, will possibility for him get first tittle in his football career with Bayern?
Yes, hopefully that happens, because Bayern Munich looks very strong at the moment both in the champions league and in the bundesliga, Bayern Munich was indeed a strong club in the bundesliga before Harry Kane was at the club but their goal productivity is not like now when Harry Kane is here, the arrival of Harry Kane is indeed really has an extraordinary impact, especially with his very high goal productivity.
Hopefully Harry Kane doesn't have any injury problems so he can still score lots of goals for Bayern Munich and has the potential to win a title whether in the Champions League or in the domestic league, but I hope Bayern Munich wins the Champions League title this season.

Bayern Munich do have a very good chance in the two leagues, the Champions League and the Bundesliga, they are very strong and none other than because this is a good impact of their very strong performance in the two leagues at the moment. Yes that's right, from before the existence of Harry Kane Bayern Munich was already extraordinary, proven they were able to become defending Bundesliga champions in the last decade, it was an extraordinary achievement, and we cannot forget that the coach factor also has a very large contribution to the club's success. And now the arrival of Harry Kane is one of the ammunition that is very important to further enhance the team's performance to be even stronger, as you say the positive impact that Kane gives is extraordinary and indeed it is proven in every match they have faced, he can always be a goal scoring machine very perfectly by utilizing every opportunity that comes.

I will not forget the figure of an extraordinary coach, it is quite difficult for Tuchel to be able to get Kane from Tottenham, as we know the negotiations between the two parties are very tough and also with an expensive amount, because Kane is the only player who is very important for Tottenham, therefore it is only natural that his release is not easy. Tuchel was not wrong in allocating his interest in bringing Kane, and of course I hope Kane will not experience any problems there including injuries.


 
2672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop the self entitlement claims on others gamblers winnings. on: November 03, 2023, 10:50:00 AM

IMO, there's no law in gambling mandating that a gambler must share part of his winning with eith friends or fellow gamblers in the gambling house, for that, you owe no one an apology either or not you chose to give a penny whatsoever. Let stop the self entitlement claims towards fellows gamblers that won big amount of money. The attitude is disturbing.

That's right, although this may be a way to strengthen friendships in one environment but still basically there is no rule that mandates that every gambler must share their winnings with others including their friends, and for their friends also should not force winning gamblers to share their winnings for any reason, if indeed they don't want to give a penny then don't make this a problem, because after all it's their luck and they are free to use and allocate the money from their winnings wherever they want.

But basically in the real world, this small thing can really be a problem in a friendship environment, especially between those who are fellow gamblers. Honestly for myself I am not too uncomfortable with this kind of problem, usually I will only give one of my friends who knows a sign of gratitude, for example when I get a win then I will give that person a little of the amount I won and if later he gets a win then he will also tell me and give a little of his winnings, but I will not be careless to give the proceeds of this victory to others, and as I mentioned I will only give to people who can also help me when I am in trouble, more or less like that.
2673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: November 03, 2023, 10:15:00 AM
[...]
Starting to gamble can have a significant impact on your life, and while it can have some positive effects, the majority of the consequences tend to be negative. So before you start think carefully.
That's simply not true, no. The decisive factor is how you feel about gambling. As long as you see it as fun and a pastime, gambling has many positive effects, from social contacts (in chats or in person in a casino) to the joy of possible winnings.

It is only when gambling drifts into an addiction that problems arise. However, this applies to many areas of life, from alcohol to computer games and sports.

I quite agree with your statement, although basically people's perspective on gambling is very negative but they only conclude from one side and do not know at all what positive impacts can be obtained from gambling, although yes I would also not fully say you are right but the impact of gambling really depends on how the person views and does it. Honestly, I will not blame the casino at all but maybe it is more appropriate to blame the gamblers themselves, after all, there are also many gamblers who do not complain about their gambling involvement, it is because they gamble the way they should and also the way they look at gambling, always not overdoing it and only considering that this is a place just to seek pleasure through some sensations that they get and do not think at all about earning money.

  Gambling will really become a problem when someone brings the wrong mindset to the involvement, it is obvious and as you said one of the most feared bad effects is addiction, because if you are already in that phase it will be difficult to get out, and it is not uncommon for some cases to report that one of the people did things that were out of control because of the factor of addiction, for example crimes such as theft.
2674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: November 03, 2023, 09:41:18 AM
Gambling is not always bad, it does have good things, as stated in the article. But of course this applies to those who have made gambling a hobby. Apart from that, it also applies to those who can control themselves, but for those who are new to gambling, of course this will be negative.
You are right on what you said about gambling not always bad because in as much as most people wrong perception on gambling there are also people who are doing very well now through the help of gambling so for me I think it depends on individual ways of gambling because there are people who gamble aggressively and when they lose they tend to capture gambling as a bad game.

In as much as gambling maybe game that involves the use of money but some how I see it as a game of fun, because whenever we have a gambling discussions the kind joy we derive is very good to an extend that we picture ourselves on the playing field, so in one way or another gambling has really helped many both in health benefits and wining of money.

A simple but reasonable mediating statement, basically it is true that gambling will not always be bad, and the impact of good or bad depends on the perspective and use of each person - each, if indeed they come just for entertainment then I think it will not be a problem because it is true that gambling can give us pleasure as long as our intentions come really - really to get entertainment and not for other things that are excessive such as for example looking for income. The point is that we must be completely rational in looking at this gambling, do not exaggerate by putting expectations and assumptions that do not match the facts that always occur. For those who gamble by always being aggressive then obviously I can already confirm that it seems like they are one of the people who bring the wrong mindset in gambling, such as for example wanting to produce and what happens is clearly the opposite, the defeat is even more, none other than that because gambling is absolutely not a place to make money, we must understand.

So I hope that whoever it is,  especially those who are new to gambling, to better understand the positive and negative impacts that exist in gambling, especially in terms of significant risks there, so with that I think you will not experience things that are not wanted like other people who are addicted, becausee you bring the right mindset.

That's right, so if you've managed to get a win then it's better to leave, I'm also always like that, leave and then enjoy the money from the winnings and leave a little for gambling next time.
Have you ever felt like you still really want to play after getting a big win? Of course this is the most common feeling experienced by every gambler, including me. I of course know that by stopping and exiting I can avoid the possibility of losing or losing my winnings, but it's not always easy to control my urges especially if I really think that this is a lucky day for me.

Going out and enjoying the win is wise advice, but I have to admit it's never easy. Some gamblers have to be willing to lose all their winnings just because they don't want to stop after winning something, it's definitely greed but that's the reality. IMO, many gamblers don't have good control even if they have put together the best possible plan.

Yes for that problem I also understand, it is quite difficult to get out and go to secure the winning money when we still really want to play, I also said it was just the conclusion of the better thing to do, and not that I also always managed to do it. I say it's greed that's pretty hard to avoid when you're at a high level of confidence after winning, maybe most of them will continue playing in the hope that hopefully they can get a much bigger win, but I say the end result will not always match friends, although yes there are some who may be very lucky and manage  to get it but usuallly the end result is always disappointing when we bring greed.

That is indeed quite wise advice as I said above, I also understand doing it will not be as easy as turning the palm of the hand, but at least they know that this is indeed the best way as one of the most effective ways of prevention. I just hope that this statement can make one of them especially those who read my statement can consider well, although it is quite difficult but I think there is no harm if they try once in a while and then get used to it, it will be very useful.

On the one hand, Vinny is right and maybe La Liga needs to be tougher with aggressive fans who make racist chants in stadiums (what are the damn stewards doing? Why don’t they identify these people?). But on the other hand, it seems to me that he needs to understand certain facts: if they want to insult you (fans of another team want this), then they will cling to anything and racism has nothing to do with it at all. If he was a believer, he could be insulted on religious topics, if he was gay, then on sexual topics, etc. Paradoxically, racist slurs do not indicate racism.

Vinicius Junior is going to stay there in Real Madrid and he is not going to change his team any time soon even because of the bad behavior they have with this player. I think there is racism every where and it's not just about La Liga to some a few teams. Changing the league or changing the team is going to help at all. On the other hand, Vini is an important player in Real Madrid and I'm sure they don't want to lose him at all.

I heard that he extended his contract with Real until 2027 so it is obvious that he is staying. But I would like him to concentrate more on football and not on racists (even if there are a lot of them in the football environment) - after all, he cannot change them and why waste energy on them if he needs to concentrate on football? He needs to accept the fact that any star football player lives his whole life under enormous pressure from haters and learn not to pay attention to it.
I hope he has a very good mentality to not care about racism against him. Don't let things like this make his career not go well. He is a very talented player and that must be recognized. Real Madrid is the right place for him.
Even if he leaves Real Madrid, is there a guarantee that racism against him will disappear? Of course not or even more than what he received at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid should be a comfortable place for the players they have. They can make him comfortable from the inside, even if the pressure comes from the outside.

I'm not sure if Nice can save their place in the first place of the French league table because they are very close to PSG and there is only one point gap between Nice and PSG. Because PSG had a bad start during this season and even people were thinking Enrique was going to get fired from PSG. But time after time they got improved and now there is a high chance for PSG to get in the first place of the French league.  
And this will become even more clear this week after the two teams have their next matches in Ligue 1, where PSG will face Montpellier and Nice will face Rennes. And I also think that Nice will be quite pressured to maintain their top position at this time because PSG is getting closer and it is very possible to overtake Nice if PSG can continue to win and Nice itself must also continue to try to win so that it can continue to be at the top of the standings.
Although Rennes is facing a bad situation in the last 3 matches they played, but that does not mean Nice will be able to win easily when dealing with Rennes. Rennes will definitely be motivated to give the first defeat to the only club that has not tasted defeat until this week and it will be special if they manage to beat Nice, because Nice will be the host in this match.
Nice's problem is still the same, they are not very productive in scoring goals, and that might be used by Rennes to be able to steal points in this match.

I have a slightly different opinion from yours. I believe that PSG and Newcastle will be the next two teams to advance. The upcoming head-to-head match between them and Dortmund can be considered the deciding game for the second spot. It would add more drama if PSG loses to Milan, and Newcastle and Dortmund draw. In such a scenario, the group's excitement will persist until the final matches.
I have always said that Manchester United have good players but they have failed to perform well with good players. They are certainly a popular club but they are not a well performing club at the moment. I must say they are performing poorly this season as per the way they performed last season. They are able to play in the Champions League this season because of their relatively good performance last season, but the way they are performing in the English Premier League this season makes it doubtful whether they will be able to qualify for the Europa League. Since we believe they have good quality players in their club then why Manchester United are not performing well even with good quality players in their club. Where is their problem?
I see the chemistry in their game is not well established, something is off and I'm sure it's because of their chemistry. Erik Ten Hag has not been able to really stabilize this team so far and the doubts about him are now more pronounced. The players he has are of good quality, but that is not enough, because in team play they also need chemistry in order to implement the strategy properly.
Apart from that, some players also performed below their best. Their new goalkeeper in fact still hasn't found his best game like before joining Manchester United.

Yes you are right that Messi is not the only reason for their success in the last World Cup, because there is teamwork there and Messi is one of the players who work together.
Argentina we know has many star players not just Messi, even in it is dominated by star-labeled names, especially on their front lines. Their problem is that their defense still has problems and somehow their defense is not so solid.
In the next World Cup, the situation will be much different and I can't say now because there must be a big change from each country, including Argentina.

In this World Cup, Argentina was able to win because they had a good balanced team. But till the next World Cup, a lot of the players are going to be a little too old to actually perform as well as they have done in this World Cup. So I believe that is going to be a problem for Argentina. if they have good players coming up, it is not going to be a problem.  They can actually bring in the same level of players or better, they will not have any problems defending the World Cup successfully. But I do not think they will be able to successfully replace some players. Certainly not Lionel Messi.
It's still a problem in some big countries, but it does happen very often. Their regeneration is quite slow, so when the players on the roster are not ready then they will have a little troble finding replacements. But something like this can be overcome, one of which is by giving confidence to young players to be part of the main squad, even though the squad may still be very feasible. But this kind of regeneration is one that must be done. Regeneration will be faster when a country has good management of youth development, even if it takes a litle time.

Manchester United are a really shitty team for losing to Newcastle.
Man, don't be so judgemental, in sports, any team or club, not matter how good the players there, does have some chances of losing, even to a team or club believed to be smaller, that does not mean they are shitty just as you have said.
Disregard the fact that Manchester united is having issues, which is not Peculiar to them alone, Chelsea are also going through the same thing.

Think about last year's world cup when Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, many assumed Argentina to be shitty, but at the end of the tournament, the same Argentina took the world cup home.

That a team lost a match to a smaller team does not make them shitty, respect them still for me and you may concede more goals if we are sent to play there  Grin
Ah yes, in sports winning and losing is very common. But I understand what the OP meant because Manchester United have repeatedly lost both in the EFL, Premier League and in the Champions League. Now what will Erik Ten Hag do to fix their problems that are getting worse by the day. This is a threat to him, because if the management is firm then maybe we will no longer see him in this team.
Despite his success in bringing Manachester United through to the Champions League last season. But in my opinion it is not enough, because they still have to improve, and now they look likely to decline.
