I can say that Sevilla is the king of the UEFA European League. They have won seven trophies in the UEFA European League. They are always favorites to win and they often advance to the final round. It's just that this year I feel Liverpool is a strong candidate to win this championship. Sevilla's chances of qualifying from group B are a little difficult because they are currently in 3rd place in the standings.
I don't think this season Sevilla will be having such opportunity again as against they caliber of teams that are participating in the Europa this season, they have the like of Liverpool, Leverkusen and the rest all in their good forms so history will take a different shape this time.

Sevilla may try to get pass the group stage but I don't see them getting to the finals to compete for the league title, especially with the fact that klop wants to make sure he seize this opportunity before him as it appears as one he could utilize, he is not participating in the UCL this season so he has got enough time to work towards getting this dream of his come through as it's one trophy he is yet to lift while in Liverpool so I don't think he will leave a chance to Sevilla this season maybe Sevilla can continue the history by next season.

I think this is because United is also having difficulty finding a new coach. Or it could also be to give Ten Hag the opportunity for a season or two to improve the team's performance. I think in the Mourinho era United was a strong team so a few defeats could make a coach get fired. But now what can United expect from sacking Ten Hag? I think this is a wise decision made by Manchester United management because currently their focus is on improving performance and it takes a long time to do so.
Finding a new isn't a problem for Manchester united it's basically them wanting ten hag to succeed in Manchester united by giving him more time, he looks promising to them because he won their heart in his first season at Manchester united by qualifying for UCL.

I the the glazer's have discussions with ten hag and they are basically building if not with the series of poor results so far and the disappointment on the faces of the fans, ten hags job is supposed to be at threat by now but it's not looking like such probably because the glazers accepts their current fate but regardless of the building phase or whatever excuses they have, Manchester united should still come up with some results that will show that their is something to hold on to because it's currently looking like they may end the season without a trophy.

Hey everyone
I'm not going to create a thread just for this and don't want to become off topic, mas this is huge news
FIFA has just announced that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup after Australia withdrew its bid


Source

I would have preferred the 2034 World Cup to be in Australia, but it seemed inevitable that it would be in Arabia after all the investment they've put into soccer



Big news but not really so surprising? The FIFA only cares about one thing and that is money. Saudi Arabia has the money and we will probably see some more major sport events being hosted by countries like Saudi Arabia in the near future. Not the biggest fan of this evolution but seems unavoidable.
I think on the contrary, what FIFA considers the most is one who has the infrastructure and are capable enough to host the cup is what they usually look for includes an economically stable and security stable nations aswell but this does not mean these countries are perfect.

They would usually have a standard with which these requirements are measured and if met could be considered, Ina s much as FIFA wants an all inclusive participating in hosting, they are also careful to not risk jeopardizing the event aswell so it's very possible they may refuse to host in certain locations for lack of these requirements because it very necessary so bit the host and the hosted enjoys the game.

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job, Manchester united had broken so many personal negative record since his taking over as the head coach till now, they aren't a team that plays with any pattern anymore, Newcastle isn't at there best and did not start some of their top players but still beat Manchester united 3:0 I think it's time ten Hag leave the helm of affairs as Manchester united manager.
Maybe they are still looking at his past glory to hope the he turns out better soon, his first time at Manchester united which happens to be last season, he was able to help them qualify for the champions league so maybe they are thinking that with time he will get better.

But it's not looking like time is all he need, he needs more than time, strategy and a better tactical formation. Ten hag also needs to develop a very cordial relationship with his players as it seems like there isn't any. Its looking like some of the players are yet to properly get along with him and it's reflected in their performance, maybe by January he could opt to further get some more players whom can him achieve the desired results and he needs consistency with his tactics and strategy aswell not introducing a new one for every match , somehow Manchester may need an overhaul.

In as much as it has been their biggest dream to win the UCL, I don't think this season is that right time for them. PSG is yet to be formidable against some big teams who are also present in the UCL, no doubts they have got good quality players currently but not the form

PSG may have to focus more on building their team this season and maybe by next season they may have that team that have got both the form and dept to stand against any team in the UCL and be sure to probably win the trophy, this will include the coach improving on his tactics and his relationship with his squad aswell, then the players may also have to further build that mentality of winning the UCL against any team they meet in the UCL.

Yes, I agree with you. Real Madrid position is still not safe, the points gap is really close. Even, Barcelona might be able to return to consistency because currently Lewandoski is available, only De Jong their main player is still not available. Also, there are still many matches ahead, there are still opportunities for Atletico and Barcelona. Real Madrid must be to keep work hard until the end if they want to secure the title, but their journey will be very difficult if they not recruit a good striker in the winter transfer window.
Lewandoski is available but not fully back because he is still injury prone and I don't think he has recovered completely, there are rumors he may still need to continue his recovery till January before they can be sure he has recovered fully but then I think Barcelona is still in form.

Barcelona and Madrid and the most likely contenders who will battle for the title this season. Real Madrid is just few points away from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid but then I don't see Atletico as so much of a threat because they are looking temporary with their current position, because when they start meeting with tougher team they may most likely drop points, Girona at the second position on the table is trying to pose a threat at Real Madrid with them been just goals away from displacing Real Madrid as they have some level of consistency.

Inter Milan can win the game because they are a very strong team that can win the title this season, but occasionally other teams make mistakes when playing smaller teams. They perceive smaller teams as teams that they can easily defeat, and some of these smaller teams are skilled at playing big games; they always mark them well to ensure that the larger team does not win and earns a point that will put them ahead of the other team. Inter Milan can win the game if they play it seriously.
Well it's very possible that inter Milan wins the league title this season but then let's not forget Napoli and Juventus, they are two strong contenders who will definitely give inter Milan some difficulty when they eventually meet, but if inter Milan wins they may have a chance.

Despite they crisis Napoli has been faced with in recent times, o don't think it has caused weakness on them although they are not at their best as rhy used to be but they are definitely not weak and if they happen to meet inter Milan they will give them a real hard time winning or probably end in a draw. Juventus is seem like they have just picked back their form and are ready to reclaim victory in every game they play again in the serie A so inter will have to be consistent with their winning streak to be sure if the title will be theirs by the end of the season.
2808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 02, 2023, 06:47:06 PM
What is important for Munich is to complete the Champions League without any mistakes and advance to the next round. It must not have upset them too much that they were eliminated from the German Cup. The Bundesliga and the Champions League are always priority goals for them. I think Bayern Munich will easily get out of the group in the Champions League and become champions in the Bundesliga.
Currently Bayern have got the highest point in their group in the UCL and by all indications, they seem way better than their next opponent in the UCL so they as very likely to secure another three points which  mean a sealing for their qualifications to the next round of the UCL.

Where Bayern may be having some serious issues to deal with will be in the bundesliga where they have the likes of Dortmund, Leverkusen and Stuttgart whom we are not yet so sue about how well they will do against Munich but having come this far in the bundesliga I think they shouldn't be taken for granted by Munich so as to avoid surprises that may cost them their top position on the table most likely they will be rotated within the top four teams fr this week, as some may drop point and some move up but the rotation may likely happen amongst these four.

Atlanta against Inter Milan is another game this week that will capture some attention, in their previous meetings, inter Milan has always won Atlanta both home and away so it's not looking like the home advantage will not be enough advantage for Atlanta as usual.

Inter Milan at the top of the table, has kept an unbeaten record at home since this season, Atlanta aswell do not have a bad record aswell as they have lost only twice and draw twice as well this season, they are at the fourth position with nineteen points on the serie A table, only six points behind inter Milan, it's going to be a tough game because I feel Atlanta will definitely resist inter Milan strongly, I hope inter is able to secure three points to maintain their position on the table.
2810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 02, 2023, 03:50:50 PM
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.
The only way Nice will be able to maintain their top spot on the table is of they continue on a winning streak because PSG will most likely win their fixture this week so by the end of this week we will determine if Nice will still be regarded as been at the top of the table again.

Rennes is an average team and may give Nice a little trouble but then I expect Nice to win because they will be playing from home which is actually in their advantage. PSG aswell will be playing from home too so if both teams happen to win their games, they will still maintain their positions but with higher points, as both teams are ahead of each other with just a point difference, PSG will have 24 points if they win which they are most likely to do because they are at home and Nice will be having 25 points if they win too.
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 02, 2023, 03:37:14 PM
I would drop my comment concerning the game, Bayern Munich was unlucky after numerous attempts to score more goals to make the difference. When compared to second lineups, resting their most outstanding players is no explanation for their losses. Bayern Munich has been eliminated from the DFB Pokal. The Bavarians are going to be completely focused on winning the UEFA Champions League and the Bundesliga. Rüdiger Ziehl and his men were capable to withstand Thomas Tuchel's pushing force. Bayern Munich suffered a surprise setback to Saarbrücken. Bayern Munich were unexpectedly eliminated this season by De FC Die Molschder.
It's true Bayern Munich was not really lucky with this particular game because they did played their very best, created many chances but we're in able to convert them to goals but never the less I still don't see it as a problem because some of their key players weren't present.

It could be very possible the resting of play tuchel was doing caused them the match because if they had a full squad against Molschder I'm sure they would definitely win because they had an excellent performance even in the absence of the some key players so it's very possible they would have won if they were present and it could be possible tuchel does not have much interest in the DFB pokal and is most focus more on the UCL and the bundesliga were he is most threatened by some fast rising teams who are beating him to the top of the bundesliga table.

MU must win against Galatasaray to help Ten Hag's chair shake less and win the first points in the Champions League. Galatasaray is a very classy opponent. Galatasaray is in high form, with an unbeaten streak in all matches. Statistics also show that MU did not play too prominently in the clash with Galatasaray. MU with home field advantage, will definitely not be able to play defense. If both teams score, the possibility of the match at Old Trafford exceeding the 2-goal mark is very high. I hope victory will be on MU's side.
Galatasaray is currently in a good form and will definitely be able to put up good resistance against any team that looks bigger than them both in the UCL and their domestic league aswell, but they have also suffered a loss to Bayern Munich in the UCL, they are not unbeaten.

Manchester united happens to be the bookies favourite in their next fixture against Copenhagen, on their first meeting with Copenhagen, Manchester united won and that happens to be the only win they have gotten so far in the UCL, Manchester united has in recent time not been good with both home and away games so I'm really not thinking if playing from home is really an advantage for them against Copenhagen. I'm also hoping ten hag will not continue with his trial and error tactics of rotation in this match as it a very crucial to determine if they will qualify or crash out of the champions league.
2813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 02, 2023, 03:07:25 PM
]I can't guess for sure Ten Hag's purpose in rotating several players when facing Newcastle. Is the strategy used by Ten Hag to provide opportunities for players who have not had a chance to play so far or is he not too interested in the EFL Cup competition. I don't think Ten Hag underestimates Newcastle, because he knows how strong Newcastle is this season.
Maybe he doesn't want to take risks in the EFL Cup, Ten Hag is more focused on the UCL and EPL this season. In the UCL they are limping, there is still a lot of work that Ten Hag needs to do to bring Manchester United through to the round of 16. Meanwhile in the EPL Manchester United is in an unfavorable position.
I would agree with that he may not be interested in the EFL and is focused on the UCL and premier league only if he has been performing really good in the premier league and the UCL but it is sad that they are not doing so well in any of these leagues so it doesn't look like it.

Ten hag's team isn't even sure of the UCL yet because their performance there hasn't been such that will give them such hope and confidence for the fans, back home in the premier league they have been inconsistent struggling to climb up the table to be amongst the top four, so I don't think ten hag wasn't interested it looked more to me that the rotation tactics was a trial and error kind of tactics he was hoping will work but it turned out it isn't working, ten hag needs develop a solid tactics and not this trial and error he is doing.
2814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: November 02, 2023, 09:43:31 AM
I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
Gambling because you are lonely is possible but shouldn't be considered solid reason to probably get into gambling because you may not know when to stop as you are craving company and not entertainment so you may get so engrossed and probably become addicted.

Because you will continually fall back to it repeatedly whenever you are lonely again and gambling isn't a cure for loneliness, you will loose money and may proceed to depression since you were lonely because when you exhaust your funds you may fall back to been lonely again, this time without funds which is even worse. So it's always best to gamble for fun regardless of how much you make from it daily be responsible with your gambling habit and make sure to apply self control els your become addicted certainly.

When it comes to the Brighton topic I just want to say that they can be much more successful than this in the Europa League. They are technically one of the strongest teams in the competition right now. Their squad and the game quality they have in the Premier League must be enough for them to be competitive in the Europa League as well.

However this isn't the case now. Instead they started the group stage disappointingly. However I really liked what I saw in their Ajax match. They were purely dominant especially in the first half and they gave some hope to me with that performance. But I wonder if they can be consistent on it. I think they should take this competition more seriously because they can easily be one of the big title contenders.  Smiley
I don't see the win against ajax as a big deal, although they were able to dominate all through and did perform brilliantly but for a team currently as weak as ajax is now, winning them in the Europa shouldn't be seen as any big because ajax is really weak even in their domestic league.

Brighton is no doubt a good team this season and could be considered a good contender for the title this season but ahead of them are Leverkusen and Liverpool who are really taking the league title really seriously so if Brighton must have a chance they will be able to beat these two which I don't see as really possible at this time because these two teams are in their best of forms currently.
2816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 02, 2023, 08:54:15 AM

I think Juventus is much better than AC Milan and they are an even better team than Inter Milan in Serie A. In fact, Juventus's performance in this season can be even better than this because, unlike the other top teams in the Serie A, they are not going to race in different tournaments and this team will have less pleasure compared to the other teams.  
I don't think currently Juventus can be said to be much better than AC Milan and Inter Milan aswell, in previous season this could be considered true to a good extent but in this current season this cannot be considered totally true because Juventus has less pressure.

When compared to thews two teams, Juventus has less pressure this season and are not at their beat still. AC Milan has been doing great from the beginning of the season till this moment and deserves the third spot they currently occupy on the table even with the pressure to perform well in other Leagues where they currently participate.Inter Milan has also been doing great this season, occupying the top spot on the serie A table despite been in the UCL aswell, which happens to be a very competitive league this season, so I think they are both doing great enough to be compared with Juventus who has no pressure this season.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 02, 2023, 08:41:31 AM
Ideally, Bellingham plays as an attacking midfielder. But since Real Madrid has no strong striker now, Bellingham is positioned as SS (Second Striker). Bellingham acts as a false nine in Real Madrid current lineup. However, Bellingham must expect to play in his ideal position if Real Madrid has a strong striker in the next year. So, I'm not sure if Bellingham to play as a striker, especially when Real Madrid already successfully sign Mbappe. I think Bellingham will return to his ideal position, as an attacking midfielder.
Mbappe will be the best replacement for Bellingham in the strike position and I hope Real Madrid pulls that deal through by this January transfer window, if it happens that mbappe finally decides to leave PSG, this Will aswell help Bellingham to be more efficient in his position.

Real Madrid kept an eye on mbappe for a while now, I hope this time they will make that move to get him because he is very much needed as the position he will be occupying is available and very vital to the team, If Madrid happens to get a good striker in the person of mbappe, I think they will have more dominance in the la Liga this season and even their UCL future will be affected greatly aswell, although they are doing very well now even without a good striker due to their good tactics, but I think they will do better with a good striker.
2818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 02, 2023, 08:31:23 AM
That would definitely be a big surprise because if Leverkusen managed to win the championship this season, of source no one would expect it. These two team have both performed impressively this season, having not been defeated so far, and for leverkusen the progress that has been built by Xabi Alonso is certainly very good because they are able to maintain good performance in every match they play.

Apart from that, we only hope that Dortmund can break Bayern Munich dominance in the Bundesliga, but if that was done by Leverkusen it would be very surprising. So far the difference in points on the standings is quite close and every week these teams will definitely change places. I was also surprised in today match because Bayern munich was beaten by Saarbrücken, which is a small team playing in League 3.
If Dortmund could win Bayern Munich in this their next meeting I think that will definitely boost the confidence of Dortmund and Leverkusen and they will be in better position to fight for the league title this season because the biggest challenge will seem weak now.

Xabi's relationship with the players has also influenced their performance greatly and they currently have a very formidable force because they have got the enabling environment around xabi which is fostering their brilliance, I think it's very possible to see Leverkusen make it to the finals with either Munich or Dortmund, but it will be more interesting and fun filled if it happens to be with Dortmund because they have what it take to get there aswell but their policy has always kept them from it, so I hope it's different this season.

I wonder if this time it would be the Nice doing a similar work against PSG. It isn't a mission impossible considering PSG' inconsistencies.
nothing is impossible if Nice will try to maintain the top of the standings but it seems like a very difficult task because for now as long as PSG has its mainstay players it is quite easy to continue to get 3 points in every match even though it looks inconsistent but this is all because of the division of the schedule with UCL matches so little influence on matches in league 1.
Nice will need a whole lot of consistency to maintain that top spot on the table and I doubt they have such squad dept to help them maintain that position long enough before PSG will come displace them considering the league is just in it's 10th week.

PSG maybe inconsistent at the moment but will definitely bounce back soonest as they have the players who could possibly get them back to their best form and put them at the top of the table again, although I would have love to see that race between PSG and Nice competing for that top spot probably till the end of the league but Nice is yet to look convincing enough to me because I feel there is still enough time to put their strength to test in the Ligue 1 and see if they will be deserving of the title this season as against PSG.

Manchester united and Galatasaray will compete for the second spot in group A table. Bayern Munich have accumulated the desirable number of points and they will easily pass qualify for the next phase. Where we have problem is Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen, which of these teams will make it to the second spot. It's not going to be easy game that will be play, because these three mention clubs are very competitive towards each other. But I strongly believe United will follow the footsteps of Bayern Munich and qualify, they have good chances.
Manchester united will be facing Copenhagen who they happen to win in their first meeting at old Trafford, I'm hoping Manchester wins against Copenhagen even if it's with just a goal difference as this game is very crucial to them qualifying for the next round of the UCL.

Manchester united should see this as an opportunity to get extra three points and get six points so they will be ahead of Galatasaray by two points, and Galatasaray will be facing Bayern Munich from which I doubt they could get full three points, they could manage to steal a point from them of which I'd they do and Manchester wins, they will be behind by a point, then if they meet Manchester again Manchester draws against them, Manchester stand a chance to qualify than Galatasaray may do if after these two game they gat all win or a win and a draw but them I'm scared Manchester can make it, and if they eventually qualify it's also possible they could crash out at then knock out stage.
