Arsenal were under a lot of pressure today and I have thought about it before that Arsenal will difficulty against Crystal Palace when they play. Surprisingly at this time Palace are in control of the match by 2 goals difference, but this match is not over yet there is still a second half. My instincts are Arsenal will get a chance at second half and maybe turn things around.
2-0 in the first half, it was quite an ironic result for arsenal today, I don't know what happened to the arsenal defense today but I think saha, mateta and ayew really showed their quality in messing up the arsenal defense, gabriel is the hope Arteta in blocking crytal palace attacks but didn't seem to be doing his job well and I think the second goal that was created was Gabriel's fault because of Gabriel's inability to block the ball, to be honest it seems Arsenal fans really miss Tomiyasu in guarding the Arsenal defense. |

I totally agree with you because crystal palace has one loss one of their games out of ten which is Chelsea that fact alone should make arsenal active and work very hard to defende their own team against crystal palace.
For me I think there will be a 0:1 or 1:0 game if and only if arsenal works had to make it come to pass.
Crystal Palace performance in the last 10 games is not too bad, so Arsenal should not underestimate them in today match, especially in the last meeting of the two teams, Crystal Palace managed to hold Arsenal with a score of 2-2 while playing at the Emirates this season, I think Arsenal who are eyeing the Champions League zone Next season need to be alert and creative against Crystal Palace's solid and well-coordinated midfield if they are to reach the 3 points today, Crystal Palace who just beat Everton 4-0 in the FA Cup, could surely be a hindrance for The Gunners to secure their place in the standings. |

Transfer rumours: Manchester City are optimistic they can see off competition from Real Madrid to sign Borussia Dortmund and Norway's 21-year-old striker Erling Braut Haaland this summer. Apparently only these two clubs remained in the race for Haaland. Who will win this race? Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is the favourite to become the new Manchester United manager and he says he hopes the Dutch club will understand if he decides to "to take the next step" in his career. Has this already been agreed and is Eric ten The Hague really the right solution for Manchester United? Newcastle United want to sign 29-year-old Barcelona and Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho, currently on loan at Aston Villa. Newcastle is still doing a very good job with bringing in new players and strengthening the team. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is "confident" the club will be able to sort out a new contract for Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, 29. Is Tuchel too optimistic here? Aston Villa are preparing to break their transfer record again this summer and are likely to spend more than £150m on new signings. Aston Villa seems to have big plans for next season  Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/60958842Manchester City is going to win the race by signing Erling Haaland because they have been planning for this for a long time. Erling Haaland will also prefer to be in Manchester City rather than Real Madrid. But, in my personal opinion, I would have preferred to see Erling Haaland in Real Madrid. Haaland is one of the targets that Manchester City has been pursuing so far and I think they will be brave enough to spend whatever fee Dortmund will ask later, Manchester City desire to recruit Haaland cannot be separated from the lack of pure strikers that Guardiola currently has after Aguero departure this season. Then, yes, Madrid are also eyeing Haaland but it looks like they will be more focused on getting Kylian Mappe as a duo for Benzema on the attack line next season, but wherever Haaland will go it looks like he will be one of the players who will break the transfer record for next season. |

Manchester United fans are always looking to find a villain, it was once Jose Mourinho, Smalling, Luke Shaw, Ole Gunnar, and for about a year now it has been Magiure. When you play for a top team like United you face a lot of criticism from fans. I think that’s not fair that ex players from the 90s calling out the current United players rubbish. For Maguire to be booed by fans is not fair. United loses more matches when Harry Maguire is absent. Maguire has been poor this season, so has the rest of the United team
I think it's appropriate for Maguire and Ralf Rangnick to get harsh criticism from fans and pundits of football so far, you can see if Maguire performance as a defender is really quite bad, maybe it's natural for a player to experience a decline in performance in one or two games, but not like maguire who keeps making mistakes every time he plays, according to the statistics from the 29 matches he played, manchester united has a fairly large percentage of goals conceded and even if the average percentage of goals conceded manchester united when maguire is playing almost 1.30 goals/game , I think it is appropriate for Manchester United to sell Maguire next season and use the money to bring in other centre-back, while Ralf Rangnick has also been criticized because since replacing Ole, Ralf Rangnick has not been able to improve the performance and achievements of Manchester United, his decisions are often questioned o by many football fans and observers, including retaining Maguire as captain and continuing to play him even though his performances have been quite bad so far. |

TBF I don't think Rudiger won't leave Chelsea and many Chelsea fans share this thought too. It will be quite easy for him to renew his contract with them when the ownership issue is sorted. I think that's the only disturbing factor for him and most players in the club at moment. It is actually laughable that Manchester United thinks Rudiger would consider joining them, if he is leaving Chelsea, he will go a club that can actually win trophies. PSG and Real Madrid are worthy options at moment.
Speculation about rudiger's move continues to grow rapidly nowadays after both parties did not find a new contract agreement, his move has strengthened after rudiger agent met with representatives of barcelona some time ago, I also will not assume if he will stay at chelsea next season, and even move going to manchester united seems impossible considering the chances of manchester united playing in the champions league is very difficult, rudiger is a player who has the ambition to win a trophy at every club he defends and as you said it might be the right choice for him if he accepts an agreement with real madrid,PSG or barcelona next season. |

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  Before the drawing was done I actually had high expectations if we were to see a hell group would happen in this year world cup, but it turned out that my hopes were in vain, because I saw the results of the draw it turned out that many big teams were avoided to meet at least 2 other big teams In the group phase, it looks like in the last 16 later we will get a lot of balanced matches between the big teams, because each group is currently filled on average by 2 big teams and 2 non-seeded teams in my opinion. But I'm quite grateful if England are in Group B which contains teams like Iran, USA and also Wales/Scotland/Ukraine which in my opinion is not a strong opponent for England My prediction for the team that advances to the last 16: Group A,Group Winner: Netherlands Runner Up : Senegal
Group B, Group Winner: England Runner Up : United States
Group C,Group Winner: Argentina Runner Up : Poland Group D, Group Winner: France Runner Up : Denmark Group E, Group Winner: Germany Runner Up : Spain
Group F, Group Winner: Belgium Runner Up : Croatia Group G, Group Winner: Brazil Runner Up : Switzerland/Serbia
Group H, Group Winner: Portugal Runner Up : Uruguay |

Second batch of games is about to start and this afternoon I am watching the Burnley Manchester City game which looks interesting because any slip by the current Champs means Liverpool has an opportunity to play catch up but this should be no problem for them against struggling Burnley.
My prediction Burnley 0-2 Manchester City
Liverpool managed to win the match against Watford with a score of 2-0, after a long international break Liverpool managed to maintain their focus on today English Premier League match and showed their capacity as one of the potential champions this season, Liverpool victory over Watford made them successful in a temporary coup top of the Premier League table and of course this makes Manchester City even more depressed even though they are currently playing a match against Burnley. |

Juventus - Inter game is going to be really interesting at the weekend. There is no clear favourite side in this game first of all. Juventus have an advantage though as the game is in Turin. But Inter are one of the toughest competitors for them now. If we compare the recent forms of these teams, we can say that Juventus have been far better than Inter recently. They can be seen as one step ahead when you think about their performance nowadays. But I think that it would probably end in a draw.
Juventus and Intermilan will both aim for full points in the match even though both have different missions this weekend, Juventus, who acts as the host, of course has the advantage because in that match the fans will continue to ignite the fighting spirit to Juventus, while Intermilan fans will reportedly boycott the match and will not attend the stadium so this will reduce the mentality of the intermilan players in the big match, besides that Juventus, who is now in position 4, of course really wants to beat Inter so that they can strengthen and even shift the position of Inter Milan to rank 3, if we compare performance both teams in their last few matches, I think juventus have a bigger chance to win in those matches. |

The draw for the World Cup matches in Qatar 2022 is today.
There are some potential nightmare groups, but one thing to bear in mind is that countries from the same continent are being kept apart, with the exception of Europe - groups can have a maximum of 2 European teams. So for example: Belgium, Germany, Serbia, Wales can't happen. Based on existing regulations, only Qatar which has automatically been in group A, apart from Qatar, all clubs will be drawn to get the division of groups A to H later, the draw based on FIFA rankings of course will have the potential to present a hell group later, especially Germany which is in in the second pot it is possible to meet superior teams such as argentina, brazil and also france who are in the pot 1, but fortunately for england they can avoid opponents who are indeed difficult for them like brazil, france, and argentina because indeed they are in the seeded pot, I hope England will be able to find an easy opponent in the group divisions later although maybe they will potentially join Germany. |

Barcelona are the team that have the biggest chance to win the Europa League title now. I believe that this is the truth for most people too. Because even their quality is way above this tournament now. Maybe you can say that Dortmund were the same too but they were eliminated by a team like Rangers. It is true, they really did. However, Barcelona's recent effort is incredible. They have made a big progress so far and their current effort would be enough for the title too.
Somehow, Barcelona has now emerged as a club that never stops getting praise. It all started with Xavi determination to sacrifice his career for the sake of his life in El Clasico. It is quite proud that Barcelona has returned to the surface and is recognized as a scary club even without a Messi. Followed by the emergence of new players increasingly have a sharp consistency. The Europa League has a wide place for Barcelona. Barcelona, which has been under Xavi direction this season, began to move in a positive direction, although initially many doubted Xavi when he handled Barcelona, but in the end he was able to make Barcelona better with limited players and limited funds, Barcelona decision to call Xavi who did not have the experience of coaching big teams has now given quite significant results and even barcelona has the opportunity to be able to get the UEL trophy now, it's too early to praise xavi at this time but i think he deserves to get high appreciation from barcelona and also fans because only with improvised players, free players and also financial problems but Xavi was able to make Barcelona bounce back, I can't imagine if Barcelona again have strong finances next season, of course they can again challenge for the La Liga title and also the Champions League. |

according to a report from the british broadcaster sky sports on this thursday, the advisor of the german national defender Antonio Rüdiger, has already met on wednesday in a restaurant in barcelona for talks with officials of the catalans. the topic had been a possible transfer in the summer. A. Rüdiger's contract with fc chelsea runs out, he would then be free of a transfer fee.
So far, Rudiger has been linked with Madrid after his contract expires this season with Chelsea, but frankly I just found out that Barcelona are also in the race for Rudiger, so far Rudiger refuses to extend his contract with Chelsea because he wants a higher salary, so I think seem to be the only team that is able to offer high salaries which will eventually become an option for rudiger, apart from madrid and barcelona, now manchester united has also entered the competition for get rudiger and they plan to make rudiger as a substitute for maguire next season. So it will be quite interesting to see where the German defender will continue his career next season |

Yes we do miss a competitive rivalry between bundesliga clubs, but i think it will be impossible in the next few seasons, the dominance of bayern munchen will be very difficult to break because they have financially strong enough at the moment, I dont think if this season Bayern Munich is quite weak because they are still very consistent in playing, in fact I think if Dortmund are looking quite weak this season and it was proven when they failed in all competitions such as the Bundesliga, German League Cup, Champions League and even the European League, while bayern munchen are still able to show their prowess in domestic and european competitions, if you notice there is something quite interesting about bayern munchen, namely since the 2017/18 season until now they are quite stable and only experienced 4 defeats in the league every season  . The dominance of Bayern in the Bundesliga is something everyone is used to. Borussia this season is very worthy of following Bayern, but due to the fact that rivals cannot create worthy competition, Bayern also does not play at full strength. In fact, Borussia is strong this season, and next season they may already be without Haaland, other key players, everything is repeated. This season actually bayern münchen have dropped points several times and we think that dortmund will be able to take advantage of this condition but in fact they have experienced worse things, that's why I doubt that dortmund will be able to thwart munchen plans this season even though they only have a difference of 6 points. In some games this season, dortmund lost haaland a few times and we can see if dortmund performance without haalaand is quite bad and even difficult struggles to beat a smaller team, if haalaand leaves next season of course it will make dortmund worse in my opinion, especially so far we haven't seen if they have any other players or potential players who might be the next star in dortmund. |

the worst part of it all is that all those african teams that qualified will be destroyed in the world because they are very weak in relation to european and american teams ( i mean argentina, brazil and uruguay ). as an African I'm not optimistic that we'll get far in the world, just look at how many goals each African team managed to score in Can and in qualifying for the world to see how weak teams are. but anyway congratulations to the teams that qualified at least will be in the world to make a presence
In this year world cup, africa has sent 5 of their representatives, Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, and Cameroon, from these 5 countries I think that Senegal has the potential to provide hope for the African continent to go far enough in this year in world cup, a burden that borne by Senegal is actually quite heavy because of course as champions of Afcon they get a big responsibility to make the African continent proud in the world cup later, in my opinion you shouldn't be too pessimistic to see countries, especially Senegal, which represent the African continent, because Senegal seems to have the potential to be troublesome. other countries moreover they have a good squad depth and most of them are mainstay players from big clubs in Europe. I personally really hope this year there will be a surprise from the Asian representatives later as Japan and Korea have done before. |

this season Bayern Munich were not as strong as in previous seasons, so this was a great chance that any other team in the Bundesliga had tried hard to win the Bundesliga, but unfortunately they missed the great opportunity and in the next season maybe Bayern Munich get stronger again and they won't be able to beat you so easily and the other teams won't be able to win the Bundesliga, I'm a Bayern Munich fan but I think the Bundesliga needs to have stronger teams to be more competitive. it's even boring to make predictions about who would be the champion of the Bundesliga because everyone already knows that it will be Bayern Munich

I think the Italian Seria A standing shows that, the league is still open for clubs like, Ac Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus, it's seven points between Ac Milan and Juventus and I believe if Ac Milan don't take there games too seriously, they'll definitely slide down the top spot.
Roma and Atalanta shares the same points at the moment, they should be rooting for the Europa league competition next season,coz the too four is choked up.
I think Lazio can fight for a chance to qualify for the Europa League because they are not far behind Atalanta and Roma. But Atalanta have one less game than Roma and Lazio, so for now they have a better chance of qualifying for Europa League. Moreover, Roma have been playing worse recently. There are not many games left, and any mistake for Roma or Atalanta could be fatal. Serie A this season is indeed quite surprising for us, the competition that occurs at the top of the Serie A standings is quite tight and the top 4 teams have the same opportunity to win the Scudetto without one team appearing dominant over the other team, as well as the competition for Filling the Champions League and European League zone slots next season is still happening among several teams, Atalanta, Lazio, Roma and even Fiorentina I think will make the European zone their main target this season, indeed in this competition Atalanta can be said to be quite superior and even I think their chances are very open to qualify safely later, besides if they are lucky maybe they can play in the champions league next season because currently they are still surviving in the european cup and if they can championship the european league trophy of course they will automatically get 1 ticket to champions league zone next season. |

Well, we'll have to be patient a little to find out, because not until 10 days from now we can look at it. There must be a worthy confrontation between Manchester City and Liverpool. Should definitely watch this match. Yes, it is a big game I will be looking forward to for the Premier League in April, but before that both teams have to play for another game which might see them drop points or win both. Indeed, the two teams that will meet Manchester City and Liverpool in early April are relegation zone teams, but that does not guarantee victory will be easy. A little mistake will cost them points especially after some players return from defending their country for the world cup qualifiers. All I'm scared of now is this players falling sick ahead of their premier league games. Liverpool plays against Watford at 12:30, games at this times are a bit hard for them to win. The first leg was a great one for them, this might be something else, a very hard one. Salah should be fustrated from the world Cup qualifies, I'm saying he's not going to score in this game. a hectic schedule will of course be a frightening specter for big teams like liverpool and manchester city, especially now both teams are both hit by the problem of player fatigue due to the many international matches played by the players of both current teams, declining performance of course it will greatly affect the game of both teams in the future, and I think we will probably see some of their core players who may not play in the match week 30 and save them for a crucial match in week 31. |

Barcelona are the team that have the biggest chance to win the Europa League title now. I believe that this is the truth for most people too.
Exactly, if we see the chance, Barcelona is the one that has the highest chance to win this league. The most difficult opponent may be Atalanta and West Ham only and we have known that Barcelona is now on fire, in their best performance. I am sure that Barcelona can really optimize their performance to get at least this trophy. For La Ligaitself, it seems that Barcelona cannot get the trophy. That is why they will focus more on UEFA Europa League. Maybe the European cup will be the first title for Xavi at the beginning of his career, the European cup title may be Xavi's capital to get many titles next season, because Barca's performance under Xavi's coaching can be said to be very developed, I am also very sure Barca are able to bring home European champions this season, because they have eliminated difficult opponents like Napoli, while atlanta and west ham are now playing less consistently in their domestic leagues. Barcelona is indeed one of the strongest teams in the European league at the moment and they are strong candidates to win the title, but I don't agree if you underestimate Westham and Atlanta just because they are not consistent in the domestic league, just like Barcelona, Westham and Atlanta also of course targeting the european league trophy as one of their shortcuts to penetrate the champions league next season besides struggling to get a ticket in the domestic league, in my opinion for now 3 teams have the opportunity to able to win the european champion trophy, barcelona, westham and also Atlanta. Especially Barcelona in April will be very decisive for them to test the consistency of their performance because they face a fairly busy schedule in both the league and the European league. |

It's still too early to tell, I've seen a lot of the same scenario this year and bitcoin still failed to be bullish. Could be a bull trap, so we should be careful with this especially if there's no big news that backs up the current bullish movement. If bitcoin would be able to break out to $50k, then we can talk about a real bullish movement.
After entering the beginning of 2022 the price of bitcoin is getting worse and now it looks like bitcoin is starting to find momentum to bounce back, the success of bitcoin breaking through the price of $45,000 at the end of last week, has helped bitcoin regain the right momentum to experience price strengthening as it is today and even like recorded on the CMC bitcoin price has strengthened almost 18% this week, although the price continues to strengthen but still we have to be vigilant because the possibility of a price correction can also occur, I personally agree with you, the bullish phase will last if bitcoin can reach price resistance to $50,000 and if that happens of course maybe we'll see a new ATH going on this year. |

I think it is with the delusion that the Premier League is the only good league in the world that makes fans think Kane will be more suitable for City than Haaland since he has been proven in the league over the years. We are forgetting that Kane hasn't scored 20 goals since 3 seasons ago but here we have Erling Haaland who scores consistently in the bundesliga and champions league. Aside that, he is far younger than Kane, I would gladly pick him over Kane any day.
Manchester City really need a pure striker next season, after losing Aguero, Manchester City doesn't seem to have a target man in front of the opponent goal and of course Harry Kane and Haaland could be the right solution to fill the abandoned position by aguero, but as you said when compared to kane it is clear that haalaand is more perfect to be recruited by manchester city next season, but maybe the problem that manchester city will get is that they have to spend quite a lot of money if they recruit haalaand compared to buying kane, besides maybe haalaand will not immediately develop if he plays in the English league because he has to adapt to the style of play of Manchester City and also the English league, this is different from Kane who has spent his entire career in the English League, so I don't think he will need much time to adapt to Manchester City. |

This year in Serie A no team its "trusted", Napoli for example all the times they have the chance to go to the first spot they fail. Milan similar. Inter seems the better but the last rounds fail also.
Well Juventus starts was very bad so they now are running from behind.
Like i said before i want Milan to win to dont have another monopoly years.
But in my opinion the fight this season is a very extraordinary fight in the Italian league, compared to other domestic leagues, such as the French league, Spanish league, Bundesliga and English league, the French league at all not interesting because the game is still 8 weeks away, but PSG have officially become champions, the Spanish league Real Madrid has a distance of 9 points with their rivals, while the English league is only Liferpol and Man City who won each other's titles, but the struggle for the Italian league title this season is very fierce, four teams must elbow each other to get the title this season This season, according to my prediction AC Milan has a great chance to lift the trophy, because in the remaining matches they will no longer be reunited with top teams. The competition to become champions is still very open for the 3 teams that are in the top ranking, maybe even juventus which is now starting to become a threat to intermilan in rank 3 may also enter the scudetto competition in my opinion, the journey of serie A now leaves 8 more matches so providing opportunities for each team to be able to win the scudetto because indeed the difference in points owned by the title challenger club is quite thin at this time, yes indeed ac milan will probably have the remaining matches that are easier if considering their opponents, but you don't forget if milan often also loses points when against a small team, so I think it is difficult to predict which team will be able to championship later because I think the Scudetto will be very determined until the last game of the season. |
