I think the main problem for Zidane is that his key players are old and can't stand the difficult pace of all the competitions in which Real participates.
Just look at Modric at the age of 35, who has to play all the time because Zidane has no real replacement for him.
I think that Zidane is already mentally exhausted and tired and that he can no longer continue with his work.
Apart from Juve, I also heard a rumor that Zidane could become the coach of the French national team.
Marca has already announced that Raul is the main favorite to replace Zidane as the new Real coach.
-snip-
I recall reading something about Zidane and coaching the French national team. In fact, Zidane wants to do it and Deschamps wants Zidane to succeed him too. The contracts of both end in 2022 which means that Zidane has to resist another year in Real Madrid (I doubt) or find a team that accept him to coach for 1 year.
Today we have 3 important games that might determine which team will win the title Bilbao - Real Madrid ATM - Osasuna Barca - Celta Vigo No error should be done, if ATM win and Real Madrid drop any point then we have a winner before 1 round. This possibility isn't weak at all, it is all on ATM hands (legs exactly)! |

Well I said that Leicester will come to play their best football but I did not expect Chelsea not to score as they had some good chances to do so. Anyway, Leicester deserved the win today and big grats to them as they have a long season and they still did not went out of fuel to win at least a trophy. For Chelsea all is left is to try and win the UCL.
Yeah congrats Leicester for winning their first FA Cup ever. Wouldn't talk about VAR or anything else, Chelsea has to get their revenge from Leicester in the next game in EPL and try to secure a CL spot for the next season. They might have a chance also to lose vs City next which will be an honor for them (just a reminder that I expected Chelsea to win today, crap) |

Congrats, a precious win for Juve although playing with 10 players  Many goals scored and penalties too. Anyway, 2 big derby's today but none of them have any real attraction besides that Juve will probably get a penalty and so goes for Roma...I see penalty for both of them today.
I think Juve - Inter match has enough penalties so I will consider your prediction accurate even if Roma's game doesn't contain any |

What the hell why is Schalke now winning against Frankfurt with 4 Scored goals , damn !
Robert Lewnadowski has now 40 Goals i think and just need 1 more to break it .
A lot of unexpected surprising results today , specialy Schalke surprised me .
Like today's results in Bundesliga were "normal"... It is a bad day for bettors imo, Frankfurt defeat vs Schalke, yeah Schalke, who could predict such thing seriously! Frankfurt could say goodbye to CL, at least Leverkusen failure granted them EL. Sturrgart winning vs M'Gladbach and Bayern draw vs Freiburg. Bremen will most likely be relegated and Bielefeld to play relegation play-offs imo, since Koln can win vs Schalke imo. |

Bitcoin sinks after Elon Musk says Tesla will not accept the digital coin for transactions
I think it is good he is out of it.
I agree. Bitcoin can prove him wrong. It doesn't need his support at all. It is the King of cryptocurrencies and will always be. The new guy won't understand it at all. He had never supported Bitcoin from the start so he won't feel the same way as our old timers here who had been with ups and down of the Bitcoin market. Maybe, he should just stay supporting the joke coin and let it rekt him giving away free money for the small traders who had been playing the market of it. Let it be his contribution for the crypto industry and not his tweets.  I prefer to see him influencing less the crypto market. People following him and moving their funds blindly, whales that profit from his tweets to push the price down and up is unhealthy for our beloved BTC. This will occur eventually with more adoption which is happening nowadays but still insufficient.. |

I see, eventually, all things in life are driven by one thing only: money. This does not justify the fact that given the current situation going on it would have been much better to move the final to England and avoid a costly and dangerous trip overseas for 12,000 supporters (which is a huge number these days around public events).
True. Few months ago, the pandemic situation in England was very different than now with more restrictions imposed. Right now, it is the opposite with the successful vaccination campaign. I find it also absurd to move thousands of people from a country to another unless they were making an experiment  Anyway I am excited to see City winning vs Chelsea whether the game is played in Porto or Pluto! |

Did Zidane just announce his definitive departure from Real at the end of this season?
-snip-
Well, the team with Zidane is way better than before, so I wouldn't blame him for having an unstable defence line and not very consistent attack one. He needs someone like Mbappe and some changes in the defence. I read 2 weeks ago that he will join Juve but it seems they think now about Allegri and Gasperini too. Could Juve afford his salary in addition to CR7 one? Think not. |

I think that even these two teams have no chance of getting into the top 4, so it is impossible for Lazio and Roma to play at UCL. Even though Lazio have postponed matches but still, its competitors have better abilities like Napoli and Juventus. But when it comes to who will win this match I personally don't have a good feeling about that, but at least the match will be hard and it looks like 3 goals might be there in this match.
Roma mathematically impossible for any competition and Lazio should win all its games and wait for Napoli/or/Milan and Juve to lose their games, almost mission impossible. However, Lazio could take Juve place if it lose today vs Inter and considering Lazio winning its remaining matches obviously.. Juve is in an awkward situation, already 2 CL spots were filled by Inter and Atalanta which is leading with 3 goals in the first half vs Genoa. |

Ahead of the duel against Leicester City in the 2020-2021 FA Cup final, Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that he was still angry. The reason is the ridiculous defeat suffered by Chelsea in their last match in the Premier League against Arsenal, 13 May. btw, In a few hours the FA final will take place, I curious if tuchel's anger will disturb the concentration of the players, hopefully, tuchel doesn't do anything stupid  I understood his anger and a defeat against Arsenal did certainly affect the team confidence. Another defeat today will be catastrophic for them before CL final game. Leicester will try to get its first trophy and Chelsea will fight for its 9th one. Odds are in favorites of Chelsea @2 - @4 for Leicester. Dunno but I think Chelsea has slightly better chances to win this game. Brighton - West Ham is an interesting match today, if WHU still cares about a CL spot.. Their 3 remains games aren't that hard just like Liverpool and easier than Chelsea for sure.. |

BTW it is 1-1 right now.
Half time was over, the score 2-2. I think the match will be more interesting in the second half. I recommend to watch the 2nd goal of City scored by Torres for those who missed it, it is a masterpiece lol. The game finished 3 - 4 for City, although already winning EPL and resting some of his key players, Guardiola did it and a new record is made in the away games? |

There is absolutely nothing riding on this game, with City champions and Newcastle safe from relegation.
Guardiola has rested some of the players, reserving them for the uefa champions league final in Porto. He has nothing to lose though and the Newcastle Boss Steve Bruce being named the EPL manager of the month has done his best with what he has been given. Without a pocket full of miracles he has somehow kept their head above water.
Indeed Guardiola is resting some of his players since he doesn't care anymore about EPL matches. BTW it is 1-1 right now. For Newcastle, they should think about buying new players and getting a better team or else next season they will be relegated. |

Congratulations to Dortmund. They dominated the game and deserved to win.
Now the aim is to secure the fourth place. They even still have a small chance for the 2nd place.
Leipzig losing twice vs Dortmund in less than a week with total of 7 goals received... With 5 successive wins in Bundesliga, Dortmund seems to be in a good place to hold its champions league spot and finish 3rd although playing vs Mainz and Leverkusen might end with a surprise. Now the 4th spot for CL will be played most likely between Wolfsburg which has tight games vs Leipzig +/- Mainz and Frankfurt which has an easier one vs Schalke and Freiburg. |

Thanks Hhampuz and Arcona.Space. Glad to be part of the campaign, smooth as always  |

The match is still early, I'm hoping for a Liverpool equaliser anytime soon (if Man Utd doesn't increase their lead).
There is still enough time for Liverpool to equalize or even turn out ahead of Manchester United. I think Manchester United are safe to qualify for the Champions League even if they lost to Liverpool today, but because of their prestige and competition, it won't let Liverpool win match easily. United started the game quite good, scored then dropped performance considerably with many defensive errors, especially in the 3rd Liverpool goal, cannot count how many mistakes made in that goal by the defense line! So far ManU 1 - 3 Liverpool after 60 minutes. Edit: ManU 2 - 3 Liverpool Great, at first I was happy after Liverpool was able to equalize in the 34th minute because I felt my prediction would be right. But in fact, Liverpool are actually able to keep scoring and of course with this result it looks like Liverpool will win but yes, United won't just give up. If Liverpool win here, does that mean Liverpool still have a chance to return to the top 4? The battle for the top 4 positions will continue to be interesting if Liverpool can win in this match.  ManU 2 - 4 Liverpool, a nice goal scored by Salah after running half the field alone. Yeah there is a chance Liverpool taking a spot in CL since they still have 3 more games which aren't that hard, while both Chelsea and Leicester will play vs each other. Overall, Liverpool should take the 9 points before talking about anything |

today Madrid will play away against Granada and even I hesitate to bet on Madrid to win.
Hard to follow two games at the same time but I watched few minutes while ManU and LFC match is in half time and I can tell that Granada aren't playing at all, didn't see any serious attempt while Benzema almost scored then comes Modric goal. From what I saw, I doubt this match will be difficult for RM. |

It is unfortunate to see the price falling under $50k, I hoped it will consolidate over that barrier but it dropped twice so far. However it is a good opportunity to invest. Barely all coins dropped by 10%, Musk indirectly affected it with his blind followers.
Now $44k is possible, yet the price will rise again sooner or later.

I expected this to happen since I read a sort of appeal from some activists calling off Musk as an hypocrite for adopting bitcoin and linking it to global warming while he is pushing for a greenish energy world.
Nothing is hazardous or spontaneous with Musk, he ride well the wave and will most likely continue doing it. Next step is Doge before switching to a POS coin imo.

Juventus after a long time has returned to win but by now it could be too late for the Champions League race.
Milan, Atalanta, Napoli have all won and the distance on the leaderboard has remained unchanged but the number of games has decreased by one and Juventus has yet to play against Inter.
The chances of qualifying in the top four in my opinion are less than 10%.
Inter will try its best to reduce Juve chances to qualify for CL imo. In the other hand, Milan - Atalanta face off is a good opportunity for Juve. Assuming Napoli will qualify and Atalanta + Milan will get 3 points then a draw will occur between them, which means they will be both at 79 points making Juve out from CL. Now assuming one of them win, then the other team will be at 78 point. In this case the defeated team will qualify vs Juve whether it is Milan or Atalanta no? I don't want to be pessimistic but dropping any point vs Inter = EL. |
