Since Roman Abramovich came to Chelsea, they have won the most number of trophies which was something Manchester United used be very successful at, knocking Manchester United out of their dominance inadvertently they become the biggest rival for Manchester United. Notwithstanding how can Chelsea lose at home to Brentford, after Rudiger had celebrated like someone who won the world cup
The team is struggling for a while and with all drama happening there, I doubt the players are psychologically stable and concentrated with their games... Nevertheless, losing vs Brentford that way wasn't acceptable.. I think Saudi regretted not buying Chelsea instead of Newcastle  Newcastle in the other hand start recovering rounds ago but losing vs Spurs with 5 goals was quite harsh. Everton too kept being unsuccessful near the relegation zone. |

Xavi is a motivation for Barca players, even this season Xavi gives his young players the opportunity to fight in all competitions, and the results are satisfying, after beating Real Madrid 4-0, last night Barca again beat Sevilla 1-0, Barca now have 57 points, still 12 points behind leaders Real Madrid, but Barca still have 1 game left, Real Madrid must play consistently until the end of the season, only 8 games left this season, if Madrid stumble they can be overtaken by Barca, because anything can happens in football, plus Barca's performance is now being classy.
Barca didn't lost for like 14 games in La Liga with 3 points collected in each match of their last 6 games. Pedri's goals was awesome and indeed Xavi made the team move forward after the bad start. They still have 9 games to play while there is 8 games left for Real Madrid. Assuming there will be 9 points difference with 8 games left and Barca winning all its games then Real Madrid has to win 5/8 to secure the title. The hardest game for Real Madrid are vs Sevilla, ATM and Betis. |

Dunno why PSG cannot do this perfect game style like they did yesterday. Mbappe was a key player vs Lorient, scoring 2 goals and making 3 assists, one of them to Messi who scored, it was almost out BTW but ended a nice goal. PSG - OM in 2 weeks will be interesting and I assume PSG will lift the title after this match |

Napoli is surprising me,they have never been this consistent from quite a lot of years now,sure they have started to fight in the recent years in the beginning stages of the Serie A but never have been able to be consistent up this far.They have one game more than Milan with equal points but the pressure is on Milan now who should not make any mistake more than on Napoli.I believe many exclude like I do Inter from the title fight,what a poor performance from them when they were leading the Serie A comfortably and now are 6 points behind.I don't think winning the game today against Juventus will change things except maybe a little bit the team moral.
Atalanta 1 - 3 Napoli isn't a result that most people expected imo! Napoli winning ok but 3 goals vs Atalanta is impressive. Attacking less and scoring more goals. Now they have the same number of points as Milan which will face Bologna tomorrow and which will be under pressure. Meanwhile, I assume Juve and Inter are under a lot of pressure for real, Inter has to catch Milan and Napoli and avoid being 4th while Juve has to win to avoid seeing Roma, Lazio and Atalanta getting closer from it. |

Dortmund will, of course, complain again about Bayern being champions. As if Bayern had anything to do with Dortmund failing to beat Leipzig at home in front of 80,000 fans? Everyone who follows German football calls it the Bayernliga, not the Bundesliga. Bayern is champion 10. time in a row!  Should we blame Bayern for being good and dominating Bayernliga  They pick the best players, best coaches, build a solid team to compete everyone while Dortmund is making good players and sell them for profit, which makes the team quite unstable. For now they have Haaland, they will sell him most likely next season then? For Leipzig, same thing, they reformed the team although the good season they made last time and here we go. The other teams like Leverkusen aren't that consistent to compete Bayern. |

It is almost impossible for them to be among the top 4 teams. Arsenal and Tottenham have matches they haven't played yet and Manchester United are behind these teams despite these shortcomings. If they do not lose points in these weeks, maybe they can pass Tottenham and be 5th, but we can say that it is difficult. They had already started the season badly They had started it badly, improved a little, then ruined it again with successive failure and disappointing performance despite the huge spending. It would be a surprise to see them playing CL next season.. EL maybe? Conference League? Nothing? Everything is possible there but at what cost? |

Nice - Rennes game ended up with a score that was one of my predictions. I was feeling pretty sure about seeing a draw in this game firstly and it happened easily. Nice scored first and Rennes found the equalizer later on. This 1-1 draw didn't change anything for Nice but Rennes have gone up to the second position temporarily. Marseille still haven't played their game this week. And they have a tough game against Montpellier actually but I still wait for Marseille to win this game somehow.
Actually this game will give OM the opportunity to get 3 points difference from Rennes and will help Strasbourg catch Nice. Otherwise OM game vs St-Etienne was rescheduled tomorrow due to the bad weather and snow. |

How Dortmund was beaten at home is still hard to understand. They conceded four goals. RB Leipzig weren't very good this season but they exploded in this game. Gregor Kobel couldn't do nothing. Almost all of the shots that hit the goal in the match were being goals. With this result, we can say good luck for Bayern's championship. They scored four goals against Freiburg and took the lead to nine points. After this time, this difference won't close.
Good luck for Bayern? I believe they already won the title after Dortmund humiliating defeat! There is 6 games left, Bayern is 9 points ahead of Dortmund = 3 matches, which means they need to win 3 games from 6 which isn't hard for them with Augsburg, Bielefeld and Stuttgart as remaining opponents! |

It seems that it is not difficult for Atletico Madrid to beat Alaves in this match. Now they are above Barcelona one rank, Barcelona itself has not played its match against another big 4 team, Sevilla.
While Real Madrid seems to have to work hard to beat Celta Vigo. They won only narrow wins, and Benzema again proved that he is a valuable player for Real Madrid at this time.
With Benzema in and regarding Chelsea failure vs Brentford with 4 goals, hopes are getting higher in their next game  Otherwise ATM crashed Alaves with 4 goals and waiting for Barca - Sevilla game since that match will affect directly ATM position in La Liga. |

Chelsea 1-4 Brentford, that wasn't a fast comeback, it was a severe punishment few days before CL match against Real Madrid!
ManU 1-1 Leicester.. Arsenal, Spurs but also WHU and Wolves like that. The tip of the season is do not trust ManU vs weak, medium or strong teams.
City and Liverpool winning with 2 goals each, there is just 1 point difference which makes things more interesting

Milan are going to play their game this week as the last. This might cause them to feel some pressure over themselves depending on the results of the Atalanta - Napoli and Juventus - Inter games. Even if the gap with those teams goes down, I still don't expect Milan to be in a rush in their game. They would show their usual performance against Bologna to achieve a comfortable victory. Bologna are no match for Milan now obviously. And the result of the game will prove this once again hopefully.
It is their chance this season to lift the scudetto. 3 points gap from its closest follower isn't a big difference, yet, it give them some hope this season. Most of their games aren't hard theoretically except maybe Lazio and Atalanta. They have also Fiorentina which might be a threat. |

We have 5 teams from Africa: Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal.
The draw that was made today put Ghana, Morocco and Tunisia in awkward position, maybe the worst situation is for Tunisia. Morocco and Ghana could try their luck to pass that stage.
Cameroon group isn't that easy but they might achieve something.
Senegal in group A could pass without big hassle, their group isn't that impossible.

120 is too high it really should be 80 think of all the valuable communication that will be lost
The art of exploitation shows the smart guys and the devoted ones for the prosperity of the forums. IQ shouldn't be capped Obviously smart people have the highest IQ and dumb people have the lowest IQ
I feel embarrassed having the same IQ. Theymos should fix the bug that allowed that (it is April first, just joking)I am interested in knowing who cheated the most has the best IQ. |

This is a joke, isn't it?
Yes April fools. All Fools' Day Who told you that? Theymos is testing his alpha version of ivory btctowertalk in his holy fight against idiotism 
Am I the only one feeling that he gets smarter with every post I made starting from today? BTW for unknown reasons, once I finish the text, it took a couple of minutes before I could post it. Hope this situation *cough* gets fixed by tomorrow The questions are as easy as the official residence of the French PM. At least you can embarrass yourself with that, imagine failing in bitcoin related questions The G spot in my br(ain)owser is telling me that it is Thailand |

Edit2: IQ of 113? Gimme a break. Last time my IQ saw that number was when I was attached to an umbilical cord and had not yet seen the sunshine and come to loathe it.
At least the trivia questions are cool, like about history and animals and shit like that. If they about popular culture and hollywood or some stupidity like that I would be in the negative range by now. Theymos should use this system instead of questions to test our IQs. https://memeguy.com/photos/images/iq-test-from-idiocracy-47169.gifDon't give theymos ideas please or else we will have to ask for help from a smart person (called Mr G) before posting here BTW Adding a timer after clicking on post will be interesting too, for accuracy and scientific purposes eventually |

Group A: QATAR, ECUADOR, SENEGAL, NETHERLANDS - Qatar has a good chance to compete for second place. Netherlands first. Group B: ENGLAND, IRAN, USA, SCOTLAND/UKRAINE/WALES - USA vs IRAN - will there be a repeat of the record of journalists' interest in this match? By the way, if Scotland gets here, there will be three English-speaking teams in the group. Group C: ARGENTINA, SAUDI ARABIA, MEXICO, POLAND - An even group for three teams, the Saudis are outsiders. Group D: FRANCE, UAE/AUSTRALIA/PERU, DENMARK, TUNISIA - I think France 1 Denmark 2 Group E: SPAIN, NEW ZEALAND/COSTA RICA, GERMANY, JAPAN - Germany vs Spain - two outdated teams will try to remember the past. Group F: BELGIUM, CANADA, MOROCCO, CROATIA - Belgium and...? Group G: BRAZIL, SERBIA, SWITZERLAND, CAMEROON - same Group H: PORTUGAL, GHANA, URUGUAY, SOUTH KOREA - a very even group, Portugal can advance to the next round after drawing all matches. They have experience Group A, Netherlands and Senegal imo. Group B, England and Wales/Ukraine (I doubt Scotland will pass) Group C, Argentina and Poland Group D, France and Denmark Group E, Spain and Germany Group F, Belgium and Croatia or Morocco Group G, Brazil and Switzerland but couldn't rule out the other two teams, quite hard group Group H, Portugal and Uruguay but same, I can't rule out the other two teams passing. |

About Dembele if he wants to stay then his salary must be lowered, if not then Barcelona let him go even though he is in a good game, but why should Dembele be allowed to take a pay cut while Barcelona themselves are looking for top players?
Top clubs would be interested in Dembele if he left Barcelona, and I don't see him staying beyond his current contract. I heard the news he wants to stay in Barcelona, this means if the possible (cut the salary), he don't mind. But, Barcelona still has Torres which can't be played because of the limit financial. That possible the official Will review back Dembele. but for the possibility, He must increase the peformance until this session, PSG is a good choice if if Barcelona don't want him anymore. Yeah I assume many clubs are looking for someone like him, well with less injuries, yet he is a good player and has enough time to improve. I am pretty sure PSG will accept him, City might be interested imo, ManU and Arsenal tho. |

Even though Senegal qualified for the Qatar world cup but I am not at all happy, because of the behavior of their fans who are very unnatural, almost every match Egyptian players are rained with leser, in my personal opinion FIFA should punish the Senegal national team, if only the Egyptian national team players didn't Senegalese fans rained leser on them, surely the end result would be different, but I respect the Egyptian fans in the first leg, Egyptian fans never made a noise, let alone bombarded Senegalese players with leser, I think FIFA should review the penalty shootout between Senegal and Egypt .
I didn't hear any official complaints yet from Egypt for the incidents that happened in the game but Algeria apparently started it with a request to redo the match since the referees interfered with the result especially for the first goal. I will be shocked if corrupt CAF will make a move in favor of Algeria or also Egypt. Even FIFA won't interfere, they have enough headaches from it.. |

USA dramatically went to world cup although lose from Costa Rica and have equal points but they had better goals difference from Costa Rica and can secured 3rd position but for Costa Rica before goes to world cup they will fight for intercontinental playoff against New Zealand who has beat Solomon Islands with score 5-0 and the winner between them will fill in the last slot in world cup tournament
Unless they improve in their game style and performance, these teams will remain an easy target for the other teams. Some nations have a limited ambition, let's just get qualified, let's just pass the first round... The difference is big, yet, you could see some surprises in the World Cup with low tier teams beating those in pot 1 or 2. In this version, we have classic teams that generally reached advanced rounds failed to qualify, especially Italy and some African countries like Nigeria.. |
