PSG is well prepared? I wouldn't say so. They really need to step up their game if they want to win against Real Madrid first. Last season PSG didn't really deserve to reach the next round against Bayern Munich to be honest. I think that Liverpool and Manchester City will be the strongest contenders for the CL title this season.
PSG should probably play a little better. But the situation in Real Madrid is not good yet. They don’t have them in their best form. They have had a lot of trouble scoring goals in the last few matches.
Bayern Munich have a good chance of winning the title. This team is strong in all respects. The bonds between the players on their team are excellent. Manchester City are the favorites every season but can't win the title. It looks like we'll see the same thing this season.
PSG and Real Madrid will be the opening match of the last 16 and it will be a very exciting match and I don't compare the two, because in my opinion they are the best team in their respective leagues.
and Bayern Munich are indeed the strongest candidates to win and Manchester City are only favorites in the EPL, not necessarily in the UCL.

We hope the PSG vs Real Madrid match will be enjoyable and competitive. But I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams playing defensively and trying to draw the match. BTW, can Benzema play in this match? Is he fully fit now? Is there any trusted news related to this?
I don't understand why you don't like Manchester City. They have played very well in the group stage matches of the Champions League. They are consistently able to perform well. Yet why are they not favorites?

Newcastle have won against renowned teams like Aston Villa. Aston Villa is in very good form this season I will not say that. Yet they were in a better position than Newcastle. Newcastle have won three games in a row and they have won a total of four games this season. It is easy to see that their winter transfer was appropriate. They have been able to recruit players according to their needs. The team's performance is stable enough now. As a result, they are now out of the relegation zone.

Even Kohli is facing the worst time of his career but still having very strong back up from his team and current management is very good he can fight back anytime in near future because we have a very long history of bad patches of great batsmen, and they fight back done good for their respective teams same can happen here in Kohli.
Virat Kohli was having having a dream run for a very long time and even during that period he was well aware that he would be going through a lean patch during his career and that is what is going on in his career right now. He will tweak his flaws and i am sure he will be back in form in a short period of time and one bad serious does not mean anything, he will be back in form.
They are also humans with having all concerns like we have so without any doubt he is facing some bad time in his batting and now with recently few bad management from BCCI and few his own faults making things more terrible so just because of these all he is feeling more pressure.
With this all Indian cricket team having one of the worst schedule because we all can check how these players are living and doing things these all have impact mentality and physically on them even they are professional with better skills and having better environment about this all. Virat Kohli without any doubt legendary cricketer of this era, and he can fight back in near future as he still has nearly 3 or 4 years for international cricket and few more good years in his IPL career but right now he needs something very positive for this all change.

Virat Kohli is undeniably one of the greatest players to play cricket in this era. I really believe that he has the capability of making a comeback very soon.

But one thing I don't understand about the fans is that when the players are doing well everyone seems to support them but when the player is not doing so good, the fans start to hate on the players and that is the time when the players need the support of his fans the most.  Sad

I really don't even think that India thinks about this thing as a problem because India is not suffering from this by any means. This is actually rather problematic for Pakistan because through IPL a lot of Pakistani players also could have proved themselves but now they don't have that chance and also the financial loss that Pakistan is having to bear because of this decision. I think Pakistan should improve the quality of their own T20 league and they can have a lot of profit from that.
It's purely a political decision of not including Pakistani players in IPL since present govt of boh counties don't have good ties. PSL current edition is 7th over and so far it's a good journey for Pakistan. Initially PSL was held in dubai but now all matches are played in Pakistan and players from all countries are participating in it.
Apart from that Pakistani players are also participating in all leagues world wide which give them a good exposure and chance to earn money.

In my opinion Pakistani players not being able to play in the IPL should not be much of a problem to them anymore because everyone knows that Pakistan has some world-class cricketers and almost every other T-20 league has not done anything like the IPL.

So, they can play in any T-20 links except IPL. So, in my opinion, it is not problematic for Pakistan at all anymore and they have a lot of alternative ways to earn that money that they might have with the IPL.

Today's Atalanta-Juventus game looks very promising. Both teams will certainly want to take advantage of yesterday's Napoli draw with Inter and come closer to the top in the table. It's hard for me to name the favorite of this match, that's why I'm betting over 2.5 goals and counting on an interesting spectacle and a lot of goals.

I don't think it is too much about getting closer to Napoli and Inter. Sure, it might be a reason, too, but look at what is on the line for both Juventus and Atalanta! It is the Champions League qualification and Atalanta has played one game less. If Juventus loses this one (which is very possible) and Atalanta wins the game they are now behind, Juventus is again in a dangerous spot to miss the CL in the end, which would be a disaster for them. Definitely going to be an exciting game.

I think that Juventus is on a good run here and they should be able to reach their goal. Only one draw in the last five matches and no losses. Seems to be in really good form right now.
But obviously, Atalanta can win this one, and that might be a real problem for them. But I don't think that Juventus is going to let that happen. I will back Juventus up for this one.
3327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 13, 2022, 05:58:28 AM
Juventus has decide to sell Matthijs de Ligt this summer this because the player had decide to refused extended contract and rumors said Man Utd and Chelsea interested to bought him but the bad news from this rumours is price tag for him was so expensive approximately 80 millions euro
As far as I know I think Bayern Munich was also interested at some point? At least that was in the news a while ago, but I don't really know whether Bayern pursued that any further. However, they never confirmed that they were specifically interested in signing de Ligt.

I have not yet seen any news of interest in Bayern Munich's de Ligt from any reputed newspaper. But maybe Bayern Munich are interested since de Ligt is talented enough. But I don't think they would be interested in paying 80 million for de Ligt. This is a huge amount for players like de Ligt right now. Although Bayern Munich are rich enough clubs, they do not waste money.

-snip-

I remember some people discussing here that Man City lacks offensive power this season, but I would definitely say that that was wrong. There whole team is high quality in the offensive game, almost anyone within their squad can score. Sterling is getting in better and better shape over time as well even though he has been criticized a lot not too long ago. The only way to make this season exciting again is if Liverpool wins all their games and also wins the head to head in April.
There is no stopping this team. Sterling's performance was outstanding, and he contributed to the outstanding result. This is a good result, Sterling should put them away and that's the way to go. This is Sterling's best performance in the Premier League this year. Here's hoping he can maintain it in the upcoming matches. I was pleased to see some young players get some game time as well.

The performance of every Manchester City player was outstanding. Raheem Sterling may have scored 3 goals, but the rest of the team contributed to the team's victory. Foden and Mahrez's performance was not bad. At the same time the defenders of the team have performed well enough. I think they did this well because of the excellent match strategy of the experienced coach Guardiola. Every player on the team is able to play well.

Bochum are making everyone surprised now. Nobody expected that they would have a big score advantage like this. They got 4-1 ahead and Lewandowski scored the second goal of his team a little time ago. He is trying to carry his team but Bochum really seem like they will make it to the win at the end. No matter what, Bochum are playing very great today. And this is another chance for Dortmund to make the interval with Bayern Munich six points.

Okay, that was really unexpected because nobody and I mean literally nobody thought by and Bayern Munich is going to lose to a team like Bochum.

I wonder Lewandowski scored two goals for his team but indeed it was proved to be worthless because they lost the match by a scoreline of 4-2.

Bochum are really taken bad many apart in the first half and in the second half they just played defense and did not let score but still, Robert Lewandowski scored a goal at the end of the match(75minutes).

as I said:

Napoli 1- 1 Inter

inter scored and the game is now in a draw and if napoli makes a mistake? inter can win this game, I can't watch the game so I can only follow the statistics
It looks like Inter can't win easily in this match because Napoli are very good. Until the second half the score 1-1 this match still lasted but there is a possibility that the next goal can be scored by Napoli because Inter are playing under such pressure. Yes, they almost scored the second goal but Handanovic managed to save it. Inter could have lost to Napoli today, but a draw would have been better for this match.

I watched the match, it was a tense match and sadly you didn't watch it.  Tongue

From my point of view, I think not only has to bring this match today and then there will be able to claim the first place.
I think that Napoli is going to be much more motivated to win this match. On the other hand, Inter Milan also needs to win this match to stay in the first place and create a bigger gap in terms of points with Napoli. Considering the recent performance of Napoli I think they might be able to win this match.

83' ongoing still Napoli 1- 1 Inter

Transfer rumours:

Mauricio Pochettino wants Manchester United to sign England captain Harry Kane, 28, from Tottenham, should the Argentine leave Paris St-Germain to become the club's next manager. This is an old story already seen, everyone wants Kane but no one can get him  Grin
Manchester United's players are frustrated with interim manager Ralf Rangnick's training methods, which they believe are "old fashioned". Will Manchester United change coach again, even before the end of the season?
Gareth Bale has signed a pre-agreement to rejoin Tottenham from Real Madrid this summer. The 32-year-old Welsh winger is out of contract at the end of the season. Great job for Real and Bale, but how much Bale can still help Tottenham?
Manchester United's 31-year-old Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea says a "curse" must be behind the club's recent lack of trophies. What do you think of this? Manchester United obviously does not need new players and coach but exorcists  Grin Grin

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/60351498

Well, what if David de Gea, He's actually right?
They have great players and arguably one of the best squads in world football but still cannot do anything well, so yeah calling the exorcist to get the curse off  Cheesy.

All jokes aside, are you really wondering if Manchester United is going to change the coach again and somehow they don't seem to be happy with any coaches at the moment.
3332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: February 12, 2022, 06:34:29 PM
Ronaldo still has the quality to make the difference. However, he is also a problem for his teams, as the tactics and style of play have to be heavily tuned to him in order for him to shine, and that is not necessarily the best tactic for the team. You noticed that at Juventus and you're noticing it now at ManU. I think the team would be better overall if Ronaldo wasn't part of the team.
How can Ronaldo be considered a problem in the squad? When a team has a player like Ronaldo, it is up to the coach to design the best strategy, so that the set can work correctly. So the problem at Juventus and now at Man United is not Ronaldo, but the lack of a technical team capable of putting together a team that knows how to play with Ronaldo.
When a team has a player like Cristiano Ronaldo in its composition, it's still not a problem, but rather an additional trump card that needs to be used. But if such a trump card cannot be used, then this is really a problem Wink But the problem is not Ronaldo, but the problem of the level of the team and the skill of the head coach of the team. By the way, Ronaldo does not appear in all Manchester United matches this season and not always from the very beginning of the match and it cannot be said that he looks better at the same time. Therefore, to say that Manchester United would be better without Ronaldo is not entirely correct. It is more correct to say that Manchester United could be both better and worse without Ronaldo Wink

If Ronaldo was not in the Manchester United squad then I think everything would have been a little better for both Manchester United and Ronaldo himself,

because in any other team, I don't think that the fans and the media or anyone would have complained if Ronaldo tried his level best to do something for the team, and here we have everyone saying that Ronaldo is the problem, that is absolutely outrageous. I mean if you have a Lamborghini and you cannot drive, it's your fault, not the cars.

I can almost say that Liverpool can already win this game Cheesy
In the match between Inter and Liverpool I felt it was quite a difficult thing. Apart from its opponents, who are indeed quite different, Inter are also faced with a schedule that is indeed quite solid and faces a team that is arguably not easy.
They apart from facing Liverpool in the UCL they are also faced with several Big Matches in Serie a.
I think Inter might have to bury their dream in the UCL.
I think Liverpool versus Inter is going to be an interesting match, And yes I am talking about being interested in how many goals will Liverpool win by  Smiley. Liverpool should be the winner from this match end I don't think there will be any argument about that.


Ok, I agree that Liverpool is the favorite in this match but I would not really say that the winner has already been decided and that Inter has no chance.
We have seen much bigger surprises in the Champions League so far, and who could have expected that Chelsea in the competition of PSG, Manchester City, Bayern ... will eventually become European champions last season?
The main players of Liverpool, Salah and Mane, have just returned from the African Championship and are probably still tired and not ready enough.
If Brozovic and Perisic will play at a top level, Inter certainly has a chance to win.
Well, I wouldn't say that in terms don't having any chance. Google says that Inter Milan has a 28 percent chance of winning. And to be honest that's the first place where I saw interning some chances otherwise I don't think any people are going to give them any chances because Liverpool is just better.

If Aubameyang can be as good as he was at Dortmund, then I think that's only going to make Barcelona a very team, because they still got players like dembele and Adama Traore in there rank and there midfield is also solid also, I think if they can play with commitment and passion then I will say they are the favourite to win this season Europa League.
It is true that Barcelona made good signings, from experienced players, but most of them are no longer at their potential. And it will take a very good technical work, for them to be able to demonstrate good performances as a team.
Honestly, even if Barcelona overtake Napolis, the following teams will be much more difficult, I don't see them reaching the final.
I don't agree with you, Maybe it's true that Barcelona recruits old players, but I think it's only Aubameyang who is old, but the average Barcelona player this season is very young. I really believe Barcelona will go to the Europa League Final. try to see how the match Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid. Barcelona players play very well, good technique And don't forget With Dani Alves Barcelona is like the era back in 2010 when the golden era of Barcelona.

Xavi is trying to sort out a young dependent team. In their forward, almost everyone is young except Aubameyang. However, Dembele and Depay are a bit older. Dembele 24 and Depay 27. The only aged midfielder is Sergio Busquets. And Defense Dani Alves and Pique is enoug Elder. The team should have talented players as well as experienced players. Performing a team based entirely on young players will not be as good as expected.

The big 3 in turkish league are really in deep trouble with their financial situation and we finally seen it this year. All those big transfers that we are used to all this years before didnt payoff at all and Trabzonspor is taking big advantage of it and will probobly win the title.
The top three teams aren't that bad financially. They didn't make a lot of transfers this year, normally they wouldn't pass winter transfer window without any transfers. Galatasaray spent a lot of money at the beginning of the year on transfer fees but kept the salaries appropriate. Fenerbahçe didn't bring big stars like they used to. Beşiktaş brought important stars like Pjanic and Batshuayi almost for free. These teams had much worse times financially. They are currently recovering.

Besiktas, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce should have been looking for new talent. Because their position is very bad this season. Galatasaray has won just 7 of 24 matches. So I thought maybe with new players in the team they would try to stabilize themselves. But Galatasaray may have a lot of economic problems. However, Besiktas has included two players in the squad. Hopefully they will now be able to improve their performance.

Honestly, even if Barcelona overtake Napolis, the following teams will be much more difficult, I don't see them reaching the final.

The first appearance is sure. They beat Atletico Madrid. Even xavi's preferred player in abursa transfer also played good especially Traore. Remember Atletico are also a great team in ucl they qualified and will play Man United in the knockout phase. I think barcelona could have made a surprise. They're still a potential club, so underestimating them at the moment I disagree a little bit.  Of course they want to win trophies this season and the European Cup is the only chance.

Yes absolutely because the other trophies seem to be absolutely out of reach because of the poor start that Barcelona had. They are in fourth place in the league and with 23 games played and 15 points behind the first team, they really don't seem to be winning the league from here.

The only chances that European cup for them to salvage something but I am also worried about the financial situation of them because they are still in big debt And I don't know how they are going to fix this problem.
3337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: February 10, 2022, 07:05:27 PM
When you are lucky with draws you will go far in the tournament until you will get to the point where lucky will not work again because the remaining people are all good teams. Juventus will not win the champions league. This year champions league has many favourites and Juventus is not included in them.
When Ronaldo was in Juventus he did his best but his best did not win the champions league. As you said in the above, only one individual cannot do it, the whole teams must be good. Another important thing is the mentality of the coach. If the coach no get winning mentality, he cannot lift the champions league trophy.
The mentality of the winner is quite an ephemeral thing, it depends on a lot of things and may not always be a determining factor, otherwise we would not have seen new Champions League winners and a new person on the coaching bridge at the head of the team. As for Ronaldo's results in the Champions League with Juventus, I would like to say the following: in my opinion, the club really lacked players of the level that Cristiano was with Real Madrid. By the way, to the question of the winner's mentality, what kind of winner's mentality as a coach can we talk about Zidane when he won the Champions League for the first time? Or Jurgen Klopp at the head of Liverpool, when he already had a bad experience of playing in the Champions League final?

A coach controls a lot of aspects of the game that is going to be played and a motivated coach can also motivate the players in a certain way that they will feel like winning or losing is more like living and dying.

A coach can motivate a player in such away. But I still feel like the job has to be done by the players and not only one of them but also the whole squad has to play together to win or else having a good coach or great squad doesn't mean anything if you cannot win.

Second ODI clearly proves that WIndies have strength in there bowling line up as they bowled out world best batting line up for 237. 237 is an easy target these days in 50 overs game and as you said there is no need to hit sixes or play aggressively, just build partnerships and finish the game. Third odi is scheduled tomorrow, let's see whether WIndies can avoid whitewash.

The West Indies bowlers have done very well and I don't think that.  And also think that they are not enough experienced. India have scored only 237 runs as their players have been out of form for a long time. There is no batsman in the Indian squad at the moment who is consistently performing. Virat Kohli has not been in form for a long time, Rohit Sharma's performance is not satisfactory. KL Rahu also lost form. So, I don't want to give West Indies players the credit for giving India such a low target.
3339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 10, 2022, 06:32:17 PM
Serie A - Matchday 25 = SSC Neapel vs. Inter Mailand
The match of the day this Saturday in the stadium "Diego Armando Maradona"! Whoever wins this will probably win the championship. In Italy it is soooo close in the fight for the title. There are 4 teams that have the chance. Inter with 53 points, SSC Napoli + AC Milan with 52 points and Juventus Torino 45 points, okay... juventus has only a small chance. At Napoli, Victor Osimhen is just getting back into super form after his injury. He is a great goal scorer and after a long time out, he is ready for the top game. Without him, many points were not scored, I think that will change in the next weeks. This will be a great game that no one should miss. I bet that at least 2 goals will be scored.

This is a tough match for Inter Milan. The first thing to look at is whether Inter Milan will keep their key players in the squad for this match. Because they have a Champions League match in a few days. So I wouldn't be surprised if Inter Milan rested some of their key players against Napoli.
Second, Napoli are a very strong team in the home match. They have probably scored 25 points in 12 home matches. At the same time, Napoli is trying to win the title. And if they win against Inter they will be able to occupy the top spot in the table. In that case, I don't think Inter Milan will be able to get 3 points from this match.

You can't blame Xavi Hernandez for the failure of Barcelona not qualifier for the champions League knockouts stage, before xavi came Barcelona are already in a difficult state to qualify so is not his fault, since he came the performance has improved and they are grinding out results, with the signing of Torres, Adama Traore and Aubameyang I think they can only get better.
For the achievements that have been shown Barca are still lacking with their new performance. Now Xavi will continue to improve for the sake of the stability of his players. The victory that Barca got in the match with Atletico has changed a little people's point of view which relatively wants Barca to sink first. Here Xavi still has a long way to go and will continue to target bigger ones. So that Barcelona performance doesn't go down, preparing for the match with Espanyol is the show we've been waiting for.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 7 matches in La Liga. However, they have lost two crucial matches against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. However, in La Liga they are quite a consistent team. Since Xavi's main goal at the moment is to stabilize the team and qualify for the Champions League, I would say Xavi has been successful so far. The team's performance has improved, now they can beat any strong opponent in the future only if they can maintain the continuity.
