Honestly I was expecting Manchester City to win this Community Shield title one way or another. I waited for a good competition at the beginning of the season of course. Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.

Initially, 8 minutes were added, but due to a head clash between Walker and Partey, extra time was extended. By the way, starting this season in the Premier League, stoppage time will increase in order to combat time wasting, so I can assume that this is not the biggest stoppage time that we will see in the season.

There is an option that will satisfy at least two parties - Real Madrid. But PSG want grossly inadequate compensation for a player who only has a one-year contract and who earns a gigantic salary. They probably think that if they were stupid enough to pay so much for Mbappe, then someone else must be found. But the market doesn't work that way.
That's the problem. But on the other hand they will also want to make a return on the contract given earlier so they hope to get something big on the sale of Mbappe even if it seems forced by looking at this 1-year contract.

But if they don't act in the remaining few weeks the possibility of them getting a bigger loss is certain because when the transfer is closed then indirectly they also lose money considering that when the winter transfer is next I think Mbappe's offer will be lower because of the contract factor that is a little running out.

In winter, the cost of the Mbappe will be exactly zero. And not at all because only six months remain until the end of the contract, but because Mbappe is needed for the Champions League. But with Mbappe on PSG's squad at the start of this season, even if he moves to Real Madrid, he won't be able to play for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season. Therefore, PSG do not have the option to “play bad for half a year” and then sell him, they have to do it now or never.

I'm not sure a 3-4 loss to Bayern is better than a 1-1 draw to Dortmund  Grin In any case, all odds are much higher than 2, so it will be difficult to choose an outcome. It might make sense to put a "neutral" pick 2-1 in favor of Liverpool (neutral because the majority in the pool would pick that outcome), but there's still time to think.

I don't think Chelsea will lose the game though against Liverpool as they are playing at home right now in the first game and I am sure the fans are expecting to see the "hand" of Pochettino as what he has changed for the better in the team.Liverpool on the other hand has been doing great in pre season games which do not mean anything,they are just to test the players and different setup of game plays for the teams,they are more for the coaches to see what needs to be improved as a last touch before officially starting the season so for me the most likely result is either 0-0 or 1-1 draw in this game.

If we have to choose between draws, then we should bet on 1-1 or 2-2, considering how many goals Liverpool score and concede. On the other hand, Chelsea had huge performance problems last season and it is unlikely that they could completely solve them (+ Liverpool are still a strong team), based on this, one should choose 0-0 or 1-1.
It looks like we don't have any choice and we have to choose the bookmakers favorite score 1-1  Grin

In the end, Al-Nassr won 3-1 and they have an easy semi-final ahead of Al-Shorta. Al-Hilal, apparently, in turn, will easily defeat the winner of the Al-Shabab and Al-Wahda pair (damn what names I can break my tongue or fingers) and in the final we will see a confrontation between two Saudi teams.
By the way, Ronaldo scores the third match in a row  Cool
As a goal productive player, when Cristiano exits his bad streak, he will score goals in some consecutive matches. It is a common habit of scorers as when they are in a scoring streak, their psychology is good and it's hard to stop them.

Let's see what happens next, but even the pace at which he scores goals is good. It will be especially interesting to watch the final as it will be approximately equal rivals. By the way, yesterday I read that Haaland has not scored for City for the 6th game in a row. When something like this happened to Ronaldo, his haters were ready to eat him and accused him of dragging the team down, but for some reason I don’t hear anything like that about Haaland.

In this case, you need to bet on Barcelona because the bookmakers have a different opinion and give you a chance to bet with a favorable odds (if you are right):

Real Madrid 2.00

Barcelona Fc 2.40

Atlético Madrid 9.00

To be fair, I have to say that last season Real Madrid were also favorites (but to a lesser extent) but probably the initial quotes were made when everyone was sure that Mbappe would go to Real instead of renewing his contract with PSG.
~
@KTChampions, rightly he should bet on Barcelona even though the bookies have different speculations, I know what you mean. Grin
sometimes a lot of people have too much speculation just by looking at this pre-season match even though its not really their performance but its still in a trial period but for some reason people believe too much in this match.
if everyone might speculate against Real Madrid maybe I will also speculate that soon Mbappe will sign a contract with Real Madrid.

If Mbappe moves to Real Madrid, then I think Real Madrid's quotes will be close to City's quotes and equal to 1.7-1.75.
Pre-season games don't really matter much, but you can understand something from them - for example, Real Madrid has a problem with the implementation of scoring chances (of which it creates a lot). The problem with the lack of a top striker is obvious.

As you can see, there is no clear favorite here, and if Chelsea suddenly starts the season with a win, it will not be a surprise.

Well I will be surprise if they can win against Liverpool on the 1st game though. Liverpool is pretty decent on the pre season games

Currently Al-Nassr is leading very well against Raja Casablanca, and Ronaldo opened the first goal for Al Nassr. It seems like Al Nassr will qualify for the semifinals of the Arab club Champions Cup, based on the statistics also they are in good performance. Meanwhile Ittihad was thwarted by Al Hilal, it's too bad for Benzema couldn't bring his team to qualify.

In the end, Al-Nassr won 3-1 and they have an easy semi-final ahead of Al-Shorta. Al-Hilal, apparently, in turn, will easily defeat the winner of the Al-Shabab and Al-Wahda pair (damn what names I can break my tongue or fingers) and in the final we will see a confrontation between two Saudi teams.

My prediction if barcelona gonna be dominating La liga until next few years. I think that real madrid is so weak right now. Seeing how bad the result from pre season made me believe if real madrid has low chance to win la liga this season.
Benzema has gone, Modrid and kroos may also leave anytime from the club. I remember when kroos has been rumored to retire from playing football. Modric and kroos are not young anymore. Their performance are not as good as before.

Real madrid looks so weak right now. bellingham and joselu were not solving the problem. Real Madrid has many good midfielders, but their performance after Kroos and Modric leave is uncertain..

In this case, you need to bet on Barcelona because the bookmakers have a different opinion and give you a chance to bet with a favorable odds (if you are right):

Real Madrid 2.00

Barcelona Fc 2.40

Atlético Madrid 9.00

I would like to see it, but I am 100% sure that it will not happen - firstly, PSG will only hurt themselves. It will be a huge image loss for the club and I am sure that most of the fans and players will support Mbappe as no one likes wnen someone  is unfairly punished/oppressed. Secondly, for PSG it will be a financial loss - they will continue to pay him a salary, but in return they will receive nothing. This would be very disadvantageous behavior for them.
Indeed, it will be detrimental for PSG next season in terms of their finances to pay Mbappe salary. However, one of the strong factors is that PSG has difficulty finding a team that fits both parties in the Mbappe transfer saga. So at this stage, of course, PSG will be willing to lose a lot of money when Mbappe has to leave on a free transfer. Apart from that I don't think fans will sympathize with mbappe because he clearly wants to go to another team in the next transfer window so there is nothing to support or feel sorry for him next season.

The step taken by PSG was to sell Mbappe, but none of the offers that came in matched Mbappe. So fans will see the PSG star sitting in the warm on the bench and it's quite a strange sight to happen next season.

There is an option that will satisfy at least two parties - Real Madrid. But PSG want grossly inadequate compensation for a player who only has a one-year contract and who earns a gigantic salary. They probably think that if they were stupid enough to pay so much for Mbappe, then someone else must be found. But the market doesn't work that way.

Really lucky goal right at the end for Arsenal to take it to penalties but they won’t care. Some really calm penalties by the Gunners in the shootout too.

The Community Shield means nothing as Liverpool beat Man City in last years one and we all know how last season panned out. This was a very enjoyable day for Arsenal fans though.

Maybe the title itself means nothing, but judging by the expression on Guardiola's face, he is very disappointed. As I understand it, this was not the kind of game that you should regret if you missed watching, but it's good that it ended in the most offensive way for City - a lost victory that was just a few seconds away.
By the way, one way or another, a title is a title - last season Arsenal had 0 of them, and now it's 1 already  Cool

Pretty bad move to justify the existence of gambling with taxes. Nobody likes taxes  Grin
It seems to me that the benefits of gambling are entertainment - since people are ready to spend a lot of money on this (I mean the total turnover of money in the industry), then they are satisfied with the resulting product. When consumers are satisfied, this is the benefit.
That’s how the government brainwashed the society with their taxes.  Grin
Well, somehow its true especially in my country where we fully depend on collection of taxes. The other benefit is gambling can be a stress reliever especially if you are seeking for entertainment only and losing money is ok for you. Pros and cons are always there, you just have to look for a more good reason why you gamble.

If it's not a secret, what country are you from? For example, in my country, paying taxes is the most stupid thing to do (because the government robs us all our lives), but recently it has also been very immoral - in a sense, it can be equated with sponsoring a war (I'm from Russia). Thank God internet access is not completely disabled yet and I have many options thanks to cryptocurrencies.

Arsenal defeated City through penalties, and I hope they continue performing well throughout the upcoming season, aiming to top the league table and even win the title. Arteta must deliver his best this season, chasing the top teams and rectifying the mistakes that cost them the title last season when they were leading for a long period.

I'm glad that City lost, but I expect the main result in a different - maybe this game will somehow affect the bookmakers' assessment and the odds for the next title for City will increase. As I wrote, the current odds seem like easy money to me, but if these odds become even more profitable, then I will not be able to resist and make a bet.

This community shield was a total disappointment. These two clubs should be the best that PL has to offer and they showed nothing in first 75 minutes. That 2 chances we had ended up with Havertz and he proved once again he is not a finisher. Loads of players that disappointment me and not a single one that really looked good and made me say, I have to have this guy in my team.

Edit: Should have complained sooner, Palmer with classic Mahrez specialty.

I bet that most of your dissatisfaction is due to the fact that you made a BTTS bet  Grin I guessed? If yes, then congratulations on your luck - a goal in the 11th added minute is a rarity even for the Premier League.
I haven't seen the game, and I don't think that despite the title it was important and we can draw any conclusions here. However, they write that Guardiola was very unhappy after the game.

First, why do you think that Osimhen himself would agree to go to Saudi Arabia? Second, obviously Napoli don't want to sell him, which is why the release fee is so high. Well, in general, if we compare, is this amount so large if Bayern cannot buy Kane (who is no longer young) for 100 million and bonuses? Who knows, maybe in a year the price of Osimhen will only increase despite the fact that the term of the remaining contract will decrease.

It surprises me to see that if napoli already increased osimhen's release clause even higher than before. I thought that if his release clause was still about 150 millions but napoli increased it to be 200 million which is an unbelievable thing.
Osimhen itself didn't wanna see its club to put very high release clause for him. That's the reason why he is still thinking for twice before try to extend his contract with napoli.

The club who wanna get him just need to wait until his contract will become even shorter. Since osimhen didn't extend his contract and it was forcing napoli to sell him before his contract gonna be running out.
This club is always changing the price for his release clause, which is so dumb.

Why dumb? In this way, Napoli guarantees that Osimhen will continue to play for them. And by the way, these are far from record-breaking releases - if you pay attention, Real and Barcelona (and some other clubs) include compensation in the amount of about a billion dollars in contracts for players. This is simply insurance that the player will not be bought by another club against the will of the club that has a contract with him.

Еще вспомнилось что я обещал/собирался затестить продажу пыли. Затестил и вполне удачно (собственно именно по этой причине доходность прошлого месяца выглядит вполне хорошей), получается сбагривать пыль со скоростью не менее 1000 рублей в час.
Далее продавать пыль не планирую, по причине того, что у пыли тоже есть сезоны (длительностью 6-8 месяцев в среднем) и если раньше смена сезона ничего не меняла, то теперь, когда читерам обламали халяву, даже пыль с предыдущего сезона (когда читеры вовсю буйствовали) стоит х1,5 от пыли текущего сезона. Следует предположить что пыль с текущего сезона тоже подорожает. Так что всё в закрома. Попробуем превратить 15к/месяц доп. дохода в 23к/месяц.

I would say that a couple of seasons in order to return to the race for the title, but there are no guarantees of obtaining. I don't follow them much, they look like a dark horse right now - why don't they surprise everyone?

Well they cant and isnt it still too early to even consider them as dark horse ? I mean the league hasnt start yet and even if it does, I dont think Chelsea will instantly shock us by winning their first game against Liverpool because  I still think Liverpool is way better than Chelsea

The only dark horse that I'd even consider is probably Newcastle, this team got the potential to win the league but City is obviously still going to be the biggest obstacle

At the moment, bookmakers see contenders for the title like this:

Manchester City 1.73

Arsenal 6.00

Liverpool 9.00

Manchester United 12.00

Chelsea 13.00

Newcastle United 15.00

Tottenham Hotspur 41.00

If you take away City and Tottenham, then all teams have about the same chances (I think Arsenal's quotes are just a tribute to the previous season).
Quotes for the game Chelsea - Liverpool are as follows:

2.92 - 3.45 - 2.42

As you can see, there is no clear favorite here, and if Chelsea suddenly starts the season with a win, it will not be a surprise.
In general, I believe that if, for some reason, City collapses, then Chelsea, along with the rest of the teams, will have a chance at the title.

Unbelievable news from Napoli after rejecting fantastic bid offer from Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal for Victor Osimhen with 140 million euro, rumor Napoli have open bid offer 200 million euro for teams who interested signing Victor Osimhen. I don't think has chance for Victor Osimhen get interested with top European teams like Manchester United, Liverpool or PSG because they wont spent to 200 million euro as bid offer request from Napoli.

Victor Osimhen current contract will run out in 2025 and he needs patience waiting one or two years later moving to top European teams because difficult any teams have fund 200 million euro as fees transfer. I would like to see Victor Osimhen can play in Primer League as most competitive league around the world and show his quality as best striker right now.

First, why do you think that Osimhen himself would agree to go to Saudi Arabia? Second, obviously Napoli don't want to sell him, which is why the release fee is so high. Well, in general, if we compare, is this amount so large if Bayern cannot buy Kane (who is no longer young) for 100 million and bonuses?
