Another great performance by Halaand of Borussia Dortmund who got a brace earlier this afternoon ,which is another way of adding more value to his name and will make him more sought after by other teams.

RB Leipzig is another team on my radar that failed to win against Freiburg  that only managed to draw with a 1-1 result and not collect all three points to push them into sixth position.

last year champions Lille continue to lose points with weak teams. today Clermont beat Lille 1-0 with goal on 32nd minute from Vital Nsimba. Lille had 60 minutes to score an equalizer but result stood.

Lazio managed to come back and won the game against inter with an impressive 3-1.

Milan Verona is live now and Milan is losing for the moment.

So. I missed out all the Indian Wells drama. Read that top seeds for women's were out early but Zverev, Tsitsi and Medvedev all crashing out so near the end?

Fritz thriving as home favourite I guess hih Kemarit but this seems to be upsets galore for the punters. Too bad I will be drenched in footie this weekend. Starting in 5 mins haha.

Enjoy friends.

That's true, but Dortmund's quality is still much better than Mainz's, despite the injured.I'd rather go for a double-change Mainz.
Mainz also has lapses in the defense. And Erling Haarland will probably play again for Dortmund. Probably not from the start, but he will be substituted.
Advantageous for Dortmund will also be that today will be over 60000 spectators in the stadium. That had not been possible for almost 1.5 years. That will certainly give the team a big push.

We are going to have the first game of the week which is Watford vs Liverpool tomorrow. At Liverpool, Alisson and Fabinho are not expected to play because of national selection. But Liverpool are going to be still very strong against an opponent like Watford. They are at the second place being right behind Chelsea in the standings. They are much better this season and they are the only team which haven't lost in the league too. Watford are one of the weak teams as they won only two times. And it is revenge time for Liverpool as they lost their last away game against them. I believe that Liverpool will become victorious.

Hoffenheim after losing in their last match against Vtb Stuttgart, destroyed Köln in their home match today. They scored 5 goals in the match, while Stuttgart wasn't able to score and also ended the game with 0 shot on target. Winning the match earned them the 8th position on the standings, and currently have a total of 11 points. But, despite losing, Köln is still ahead of Hoffenheim on the table, with a point. Hoffenheim have to prepare for their next match,  they will be facing Bayern Munich in an away match next week. And it will be real tough for them to win.

Pochettino gambling today with the fixture and he was lucky. Mbappe scored a penalty before the end of the match and made an assist for their first goal. Nonetheless being behind with 1 goal for 2/3 of the game wasn't good at all!
They should find a way to convince Mbappe for renewing his contract seriously

I think that Dogecoin would definitely survive without Elon Musk. For example, it is already surviving while Elon Musk is not doing anything to show his support for it. And by the way, Dogecoin was already surviving before Elon Musk started a big hype about it for the first time. The price was of course not this big but it was able to survive in the end. It was just no more than a meme coin, that's all.

PSG is going to take the field against Angers today. This is PSG's home match. But it seems that Messi and Neymar will not perform in this match. Because, yesterday they performed in the national team match. They can't perform back in France so fast. In addition to Neymar and Messi, PSG is strong enough. However, the Angers are performing well this season. They are now the fourth team in the points table. Will Mbappe be able to give the PSG team the gift of victory against the Angers today?

In the game TSG Hoffenheim - 1. FC Koeln I bet on the number of goals over 2.5 at the odds @1.7. There are a lot of goals in the Hoffenheim's matches regularly, the only exception being a 0-0 draw against Arminia Bielefeld. The visitors, on the other hand, present an interesting, offensive style of play and it seems that today they will have a lot of opportunities to score goals, as Hoffenheim's defense is not considered the strongest.

I was watching match between Dmitrov vs Hurkacz which is currently controlled by Dmitrov as he is playing very good. He beats Medvedev, not Zverev in his last match because Zverev is going to play his quarter-final after 20 hours against Fritz from the USA.

Dmitrov was very good player few years back, but sadly his performance was not good recently but in this Indian Wells he is playing one of best games first beat top ranked Medvedev now have break in third set against Hurkaxz is extraordinary from him now he is going to face another good exciting player Norrie in Semi Final.

Edit:
Good fight back by Hurkacz now match is level in third set by 5 - 5 lets wait who is going to win and qualify for semifinal against Norrie.

There are only 4 days left and I have the feeling that all the other games before are not interesting. The odds for a win by Bayern Munich are currently at 1.6 and I find that too low, too bad. The games in the national team were successful and as will now be successful at the weekend... for Bayern Munich.

Serbia is a bit of a surprise but it didn't last long as soon they dropped to 2nd place after being beaten by Portugal in the next match

Memphis Depay is in the spotlight after being top scorer for a while Ronaldo is 3 goals behind him

Actually, the Portugal vs Luxembourg match is easy to predict, because it is likely that Portugal will win the match. But surprisingly Portugal's
big victory, Ronaldo managed to show his dominance by scoring a hat-trick. This is an extraordinary performance for a player who is not young
anymore, Ronaldo really deserves to be man of the match in that match. But Portugal need to beat Serbia to finish first in group A, and I believe
Portugal can do that. Although the previous meeting ended in a draw, but in the next meeting I am optimistic that Portugal can beat Serbia.

Well, there went my Murray bet, he couldn't even claim a single set (but it was so tight so okay) so well done to Zverev, he'll be the one to beat for Tsitsipas later on if they meet.

Ladies as usual always with the early shocks, I wonder now if Swiatek will ever make it to the top again.


Murray fought, but Zverev too strong, that's how it went. Even if they had a 3rd set I think he would have won it comfortably.

It sounds incredible, but Turkey won against Latvia for the first time in history. And they won just after penalty which was given after VAR review and scored it on 98th minute. It's very important win for Turkey in fight for 2nd place. Until now Latvia probably was most uncomfortable opponent for Turkey.
Russia achieved very important win in Slovenia. Meanwhile Croatia quite unexpected failed to beat Slovakia. Croatia made score 3:2, but goal was cancelled because of offside.

I couldn't even keep up with the tournament. It was boring for me from the start so I was only here on occasional basis to see how it's going. Well, I'm glad it's finally over so players won't incur unnecessary injuries from the tournament. Congrats to France on their win. This should act as a consolation to them for their Euro 2020 exit a couple of months back.

I got to know of Chiesa last season during Juve vs Milan game at the time and he hasn't disappointed me thus far. He might not stay there for long as teams would start seeking his signatures.
