Lens is playing to win today's home match. Despite a very poor start to the season, we have seen good performances from Lens in the last 4 matches. They are unbeaten in the last 4 matches. And they are going to maintain this continuity. Their performance against Nantes today was very composed as the team went 1-0 up from the penalty spot in the first half. And at the beginning of the second half, the team took a 2-0 lead with Facundo Madina's goal. At the end of 65 minutes, Lens is still leading 2-0. The Lens team is quite strategic. They will get full 3 points from this match. After leading by 2 goals, now I think that Lens will play defensively to ensure the victory.
Lens won with a four goals margin earning them three points,.it was a really brilliant performance from lens as they have moved up to the ninth position on the table with twelve points, four goals was really a well deserving victory especially with the fact that they were at home and they really did put up a good performance that earned them the points.

Nantes remains at the seventh position with fourteen points they were unable to get any point out of this match, hopefully in subsequent games they will be able to get points because they can't be considered a weak team even if they did put up a weak performance in this match with lesser attempt and possession of the ball they weren't able match the home team.

Since the start of the season, Brighton performance has continued to improve, so I am not surprised by Brighton's 2-0 win at home, but mentally the Brighton team is still very unstable in the Europa League, so they lost against AEK Athens on their first matchday.
However, so far I think Brighton is a team that has a big chance of getting through the group phase and I say this in spite of Brighton's improving performance.
However, to compete fiercely or go further in the race for the Europa League title, I think it will be very difficult for Brighton this season.
Brighton has not really been at their very best in the premier league so I think they are beginning to Chanelle the efforts to the Europa just maybe they will get a better chance at the Europa but then like you rightly said they are really improving by almost every passing game they play recently,.they have still got a very good chance to pass the group stage at the Europa but I think they will ha e some little challenges to face after the group stage.

They will be meeting some more tough teams after the group stage because it will definitely take better teams in their group to get past the group stage so beyond the group stage is a more competitive game than it was at the group stage but then I'd Brighton Could be a bit more stable and consistent they are definitely getting a future in the Europa.

Juventus getting their only goal in the last minutes of the extra minutes of the game could be seen that they had a struggle getting a win against Verona in this game tonight but then they won at the end of the game even if we could see that as a poor performance thay had three points at the end of the day and that's what matters the most to them

I think after this game Verona will be seen better than they were before, because they showed great resilience today sending a message that they shouldn't be underestimated at any point becomes they can perform beyond expectations at some point, to see that they held Juventus to a the last minutes before they could win in their home is enough to see them as not to be underestimated as they could even win if given the opportunity.

I remember even during the Qatar World Cup when Argentine won the title and Messi was performing well for his team, Lionel Sebastián Scaloni said he wants to use Messi for the next world cup in 2026, which is a good reason to say there's a high chance for Messi to play in 2026 world cup while this is wrong because like this many younger players will lose a chance to have good performance for their national team.
Messi performed very well at the world cup because then he was still fit and strong enough to play and then he was in his thirties and still optimal with his performance but by 2026 he will be passed that age and he will not be so fit enough to perform as he did in the last world cup so we can't be judging how well he will perform at the 2026 world cup that is three years fr now with the performance he had at the world cup at Qatar.

Without any doubt it's very possible he will participate in the world cup especially if he is been called up on and he accepts the offer but we can be somehow sure he will not be optimal with his performance by then as he has been, and it's very possible he could have retired by they because he will be in his late thirties of early fourties which is not an age very favourable with football.

Barcelona could not take advantage of playing at home. He should have scored the second goal and played the match more calmly. Since they could not achieve this, things started to turn around for them in the second half.

The course of the match in El Clasico can change at any time. If a team that is ahead acts as if they have won the match, the result may end in a way they never expected. Real Madrid increased its influence in the game with the changes it made and managed to gain the upper hand despite being away. Bellingham's contribution to the team is tremendous. Scoring 2 goals in El Clasico is a great achievement.
Barcelona will really have to pay for this loss in the nearest future as they will have other team who were somehow scared of them now rebuild their confidence and think they could challenge Barcelona to a win, because they will think if Barcelona could loose at home after leading earlier it could mean they are gradually becoming weak but I hope Barcelona gets over this loss quick enough to fave others in the laliga and UCL with a sound mind.

Real Madrid so far has had a beautiful week winning their UCL game and now ending the week with another victory against a big team in the El clasico is really a week worth celebrating. Interestingly they won all these games playing away, definitely they will have their morale high up and ready for a New week to take on their opponents fearless I'm the next fixtures.

Scoring 8 goals in 38 minutes? We said that Bayern was worse this year compared to previous years, but they showed what they could do against a rival team with 9 players left. They must have been quite angry, scoring so many goals in a row is not something we see often. They may have wanted to intimidate their opponent in the next match of the Champions League, they played a very classy and good second half Smiley

This victory not only sent a signal to opponents in the UCL League, but also to opponents in the league, especially Leverkusen and Dortmund. This was an epic match, especially the goal that Kane scored from the middle of the field was a very beautiful goal.

In this match there will also be two new pieces of history in the Bundesliga, because this is the first time in the history of the Bundesliga that three consecutive red cards from the last defender rule were given specifically in one half, and the first time in one half. Bundesliga history that eight goals were scored after a goalless first half, and one goal was scored in just 38 minutes.
Bayern did incredibly well in the second half of the game, but then on a second taught could this be possible if their opponent had a complete squad ? Because it was after the cards Bayern Munich started netting the series of goals that almost didn't end lol. But then I still think even with a complete squad Bayern would have Ben able to secure at least five goals.

The next opponent Bayern Munich will be facing in the bundesliga and champions league will definitely be frightened a bit because they did not only score eight goals , they also played so we'll to be deserving of such victory so it will be really worthy of note that in any case Bayern Munich would have still had a resounding victory against darmstadt, with this the confidence of Munich will be raised so high that they will be ready to withstand any team without any form of fear.

Barcelona seem to be very lucky been grouped with Porto, Sharkhtar and Antwerp because clearly they are dominating in the group winning all three first legs and leading with nine points with Porto following behind with 6 points. It doesn’t look like Barcelona will lose even a game in this group, their future in the UCL this season looks very promising.
Barcelona is very sure to make it pass the group stage with their current points and performance, they could be really considered lucky because they happened to be in a group where they have a better form when compared with their group mates, they happen to have the best dept, form and tactics, I can even say they have the most experience aswell amongst others in the group.

Antwerp appears to have the least of champions league experience amongst them all in that group, most likely porto may qualify after Barcelona and Antwerp and sharktar may have to try again next season as port have the highest of point after Barcelona, while Antwerp has the least and they are not sure of bean able to beat sharktar or Porto to gain more points in their remaining three games before the group stage is over.

Wolves had a fair performance today as they were able to equalize after loosing by the end of the first half of the game, Newcastle must be really deverstated by the results they have been getting recently, they lost their UCL game over the week and now a draw at the premier league is one that could be considered unusual for them this season especially with the fact that they were wining before the equalizer.

Newcastle failed to get a third goal in the second half of the game that would have probably sealed a win for them but then it happened that only wolves were able to secure a goal in the second half of the game. This happens to be the sixth time Newcastle is failing to get a win against wolves away

Torino is still leading Lecce since the first half of the match and it's not looking like Lecce is getting any chance to draw or probably get a win over Torin, they are really underperforming and they are at home, it was expected that they would gat an equalizer by now because they are at home but it's looking like Torino stands to be the better side today in this match between Lecce and Torino.


Torino is dominating with the possession of the ball while Lecce had more goal targets than Torino and they are past the 80th minutes of the game already, I don't know if Lecce will be able to steal a point from Torino or Torino will further see their fate with an extra goal in this Last few minutes of the game, it's most likely the match will end in favour if Torino wining with a goal difference.

Reims with seventeen points now at the fourth position on the table is really good height achieved so far this season. Although Reims was dominant in every aspect of the game, with possession of the ball and shots on target, Lorient was a really bad side but didn't have the best day, they had a pretty nice defense against Reims tho.

Reims managed to secure their win at the 84th minute with a goal, they appears like the better team and aswell had the home advantage so personally I expected more of them but getting a win was all that matters so as to secure three points and further move up the table. Reims lost and drew one of their last two games so this was an opportunity for a win which they did used very well, this is a wake-up call for lorient if they must further go up the Ligue 1 table.

The long awaited El clasico ended some few minutes ago and I must say it was worth the time watching, Real Madrid was really brilliant with their epic comeback, it was more like Barcelona owned the first half of the game and Real Madrid took over the second half, but then both team did performed well and deserving of their results, Barcelona would have gotten a draw if they had put in some more efforts.

Although it was embarrassing for Barcelona to loose in front of their supporters at home after a lead in the first half, but then Real Madrid isn't a weak team and it was expected of them to perform any less,.they aswell wanted a win and all thanks to Bellingham wo brought home two goals for Real Madrid, i must say he was really exceptional ad deserved the brac, for me he is my man of the match, he is one of the best signing Real Madrid had this season.

Bayern Munich taught darmstadt a lesson they will not forget in a hurry, at first by the the end of the first half it was looking like darmstadt was going to be a bit of problem to Bayern Munich but then it turns out that the early red card Munich had was what slowed them down a while but there after they brought out the best in them and Darmstadt understood it's no jokes at all.

The second red card was also a factor that made darmstadt weak as aswell because at that point they became too easy and porous for Bayern Munich to penetrate, it was 10 against 9 and Bayern is a good side now playing against a weak 9 mean definitely it's brutality or nothing, at some point I just wished Bayern would stop already but they continued till it was eight goals I think the highest from a single team in the bundesliga this season.

Just as expected Arsenal got a win against sheffied, they reall had a brilliant performance dominating from the first to the last half of the game and also ending the game in a win, taking home the complete point, Sheffield isn't a very strong team and wouldn't be expected of them to win Arsenal in their present form, it was a land slide victory as Arsenal almost replicated Bayern's results in the bundesliga today.

Nketiah had a hat trick today, his first for this season, I expected Saka would have a chance but it appears today wasn't his day, Arsenal now at the second position on the table with two points behind Tottenham, if Manchester city wins tomorrow they will be at the same points with Arsenal but will be separated by the goal difference because I doubt Manchester city will be able to win Manchester united with such goal difference as Arsenal did with Sheffield.

It won't be easy for Lille to beat Monaco even though the match takes place at Lille's home ground, because so far Monaco has also been quite consistent in winning matches in Ligue1. So this match is quite a tough match for these two teams because both of them have better strengths in Ligue1 so it is very likely that their match will be quite fierce this weekend. Because both of them will try to get full points in order to remain in the best position in the standings.
Monaco and Lile happens to be two good sides this season with good results so far this season in the Ligue 1, although Lile's results could be considered a fair on not very good but then then are a little above average, Lile has really been good with home game , they have lost only one home game this season and them been at home in this game I think they will give Monaco a tough time, so Monaco may not get an easy win.

Both teams are really going to need to perform well for any to win the other regardless of who's at home or away, but then Monaco seem to stand a better chance for me going by their records and H2H. Maybe they could end up sharing the points equally as they are both good and needs to secure a point at least from this game.

Bayern Munich shouldn't have a struggle trying to get a win against Darmstadt, a team that has little experience in the bundesliga, by squad dept and tactical strength Bayern still stands better but how it's turning out that Bayern got a red card in the early minutes of the game is somehow disappointing for a team of their caliber against such weak team.altho Bayern got a goal cancelled I hope to see better by the second half.

Darmstadt is currently down by two red cards so I think it's a great opportunity for Munich to secure a good victory against them even tho much is also down by a red card they will be playing nine ten against nine so they still have a better chance, they should further tighten their attack and defense line that way a victory is sure , I expected Munich to get three or more Goals from this match.

Before the kick off I was almost so certain Chelsea wouldn't loose in today's game but I'm at the verg of disappointment with the performance I'm seeing so far, it's even worse to think Chelsea is at home having this experience, I taught for once that were improving after seeing the fantastic performance they pulled up against arsenal last week

Brentford wasn't supposed to be a problem to Chelsea back then in their glory days but then how they are looking like it's a struggle to draw Brentford in Their home is really not impressive, pochetino has already given us some feelings of hope with recent performance, having won a game and putting up such fierceness against Arsenal, well I hope they turn out better subsequently
2737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 28, 2023, 02:22:43 PM
If Manchester United are grinding out wins,it does not mean they are dominating,because as far as I know,they find it very difficult to win the games they've won,no game as been so easy for them to win,and I see them fumbling when they will face a strong side,and that strong side is Manchester City which they will be facing this weekend.It is going to be a very strong derby because United won't want to drop points again,they are fully aware that if they get a point here, it will definitely boost their confidence level,but I don't think Guardiola's men are going give them that chance to be able to score them.I predict a 2:0 for Manchester City in this derby.
Actually Manchester united is finding it difficult to, it could be said they struggle to win but then if they are consistent in wining, little improvement could be noticed in their last two games especially onana saving a penalty in their last game, I think that will give a boost to his confidence as many fans and other hailed him on the pitch and there after, so we are expecting he will better in subsequent matches.

The match against Manchester city is indeed going to be tough on Manchester united because they don't have the best of form currently to probably contend to a win against Manchester city but then they need this game so we'll that the worse they should settle for is a draw els they would drop point so bad they would resume another struggle to go up again.

Chelsea will host Brentford in this week's match, after last week they successfully held Arsenal to a draw this week they get an opponent who is not stronger than their previous opponent. Supposedly with facts like that they should be able to win this match, but football doesn't work that way. Especially at this time Chelsea are still fighting with their internal problems, especially in the problem of the up and down performance they show from almost every match they do.
Brentford are not better than them, but keep in mind, this club is one of those clubs that can surprise.
Hopefully Chelsea wins, if Chelsea could perform better than they did last weekend against Arsenal, they are most likely to get a win especially as they will be playing from home, Brentford isn't as tough as arsenal but they can be seen as an average team this season, if Chelsea wins this match against Brentford, we could be sure to say they have improved and are gradually retuning back to glory.

At the very beginning of the season Chelsea's performance wan one that couldn't be seen as good enough to get a win against Brentford but as at now it seems Mauricio Pochettino has improved his tactics and is ready to give Chelsea better results, but then football happens so Brentford isn't to be underestimated moreover they have some relatively fair results in the league so far so I think a possible draw could aswell end the match.
2739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spirituality and Betting - Do they Have any Connection? on: October 27, 2023, 10:39:42 PM

For better understanding, let me first explain the picture above
From the picture above, we can tell that the person who did this is a gambler, and he or she is also a Christian who probably believes God can actually help him or her win big in betting, so the different Bible apps which he or she put around the sportybet app in the middle mean two things for me.

1. He or she wants God to get involved in his or her betting and make him or her win  Grin.
2. Protection so that no evil will make him loss beta unnecessarily, since we Christians believe that the word of God protects, and we all know that the word of God is contained in the Bible.

Now, my question is, does God play a part in our gambling activities? Do you think how much faith or not, we have in God (or whatever we serve as a God) has anything to do with how much we win or lose in sports betting and gambling in general?
Firstly I don't think there's any part of the bible that supports gambling, so I don't think God is in support of it, because it's stayed that quick money and all that isn't what God associates himself with but then sometimes some lucky people think they got God involved and it turned out I'm their favour or maybe it was their faith just working for them but then I'm yet to see any scriptural support for gambling.

The perception of gambling and spirituality, I think is more of an individual reasoning, some persons who are christians don't see immorality in gambling meanwhile some do and they back it up on spiritual ground while the others don't, so at some.point I see more of relativity in it than any form of absoluteness because some persons Use dark powers for gambling and It works for them, that can be considered gambling with spirituality, but When it comes to Christianity, I haven't come across any scriptural support to gambling.
2740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think if you have a lot of money its hard to satisfy your ego in gambling on: October 27, 2023, 10:26:09 PM
We have threads here about people betting millions of dollars on sports battings and other games in casinos and the amount of money is insane, they can bet millions of dollars on one team and they easily forget everything and bet another millions.

I doubt if we have high rollers who will admit, that having a lot of money means you cannot satisfy your ego or that your level of enjoyment is high that you will need to bet millions of dollars just to fulfill your dopamine level.

What do you think, if I have millions I will be satisfied betting thousands of dollars for fear of addiction that will lead to losing my fortune, but I really don't know if I will reach that level of having millions and still be moderate in gambling.
Having a lot of money does not really determine how well you would be with your gambling habit, because sometimes these money you see to be really big might be what these rich people see as as small enough for them to just throw at the casino and if it doubles up they go happy but if doesn't they have no problem with it.

I think what really causes this has to be self control, if you have good self control, you wouldn't have to moderate yourself if you have got enough self control and a lesser greed, but then I don't think these people Play with such big amount because of greed rather it's basically because it's what they can comfortable afford to loose.
