It is good to see De Gea staying for Manchester United. Because there is no meaning in leaving his team at this point.

It looks like Manchester United are also aware of how important he is for the team now. He is still making very important saves for the team and making a big impact on their matches. They don't need to find a new goalkeeper yet. De Gea is still young for a goalkeeper actually. He can play at least a few more years and continue to perform like this. This performance level deserves the starting eleven undoubtedly.

Agree. 32 years old is not a serious age for a goalkeeper, and one can even assume that his golden years are ahead (of course, if he can further improve his already high level, but a little luck is needed here). He makes so many critical saves for United and I think that 20% of United's points this season is entirely his achievement even with "football being a team game and all".

Ten Hag received a lot of criticism for Ronaldo. However, we are looking at the Manchester United squad right now, they have a very good winning streak. His technical knowledge cannot be said, but I still think he could bring Ronaldo to the team. He was a name that could contribute to the team even at this age. Anyway, things are going well for now. We will see together what kind of struggle will be with Arteta's Arsenal. In addition, the matches they will play with Barcelona are also very important for Manchester United. If they can eliminate Barcelona, ​​we can say that they are on their way to the cup.

United failed the start of the season not because of Ronaldo, but because they failed the transfer campaign when some players left the team and no one came to replace. Then they urgently bought such a diamond as Casemiro, naturally this began to bear fruit. Now the team has already rebuilt and, thank God, is not the laughingstock that it was at the beginning of the season.

Theoretically, having a bonus and playing games with low casino margins, you can "save" part of the bonus and get extra money. The question is, is it worth the time? Generous bonuses like "100% on the first deposit" are usually limited to either a very small amount or have unrealistic wagering conditions. I just don't understand why do this - in the end it will bring a couple of dollars (even a couple of tens) of profit.
Welcome bonus or the sign-up bonuses with wagering requirements to be fulfilled to withdraw is really a hard take infront of the users, because only is a very hard task. The time spent on making the wager is worth it, but in mean we need to have required capital to enjoy the wagering.

There is no need for any special capital, since the very money that you deposit as a deposit must be wagered. The problem is that the conditions are usually quite strict, plus the casino strictly checks everyone who uses such bonuses, so for example I always avoid them even in cases where I could use them.

I don't think Augsburg will be able to score a goal in such a way as to reciprocate with goals from Dortmund, although Dortmund at this moment are not completely good. But still, Augsburg has been in a more difficult situation so far this season as Augsburg is struggling to stay away from the relegation zone.
Augsburg almost got one point in this match, even Augsburg played away but they can still play well. With results like these, Augsburg should be able to get a better position in the Bundesliga standings by winning the next matches or not losing too often.

Such a score and a close opportunity for Augsburg to score points is more likely a merit of Dortmund - after all, they conceded 3 goals, this is an unacceptable number even if in the end the team wins the game. Dortmund is as unstable as ever. I remember that game with Werder Bremen where they were leading 2-0 but lost 2-3 in the last 10 minutes. With such instability, even against a weak Chelsea, they have no chance.

City last year, even in games with crisis Atlético experienced problems. They could lose even before they meet Real (if Real go far at all). City have a great squad and probably in a round-robin tournament they would be clear favorites, but in knockout games, how the bookmakers evaluate them is simply ridiculous - the odds for City to win the Champions League are 2.45. In second place is Bayern with a chance of 6.45. Absolute nonsense. City is not so stronger than all the others.

I agree with you. It seems to me that bookmakers simply compare clubs by the value of their players and make their calculations and predictions based on that.
Football is much more complex and unpredictable than that, because if the favorites always won, then Brazil would be the world champion in the last few world cups, and Manchester City and/or PSG would win the Champions League all the time.
We know that Manchester City and PSG still, after investing a lot of time and money, failed to achieve their main goal, to become champions of Europe, and it is obvious that in football money can't buy everything.
I would say that more important than that is the unity in the team, and the physical and mental strength of the players.
That's why I'm again favoring Real this season to win the Champions League.

In tournaments with playoff stage, yes, money can't buy everything (although it can buy a lot). Unfortunately, in round robin tournaments, money bags easily achieve results. Their resource is simply incomparable with other honest clubs. Nevertheless, this season at least (if a terrible thing happens and one of the cheating clubs win the Champions League) one pleasant event will happen: either City or PSG will once again be left without the desired trophy  Grin

Gambling in Japan is not black and white. In fact, gambling is considered a criminal offence and is generally banned across the country.

Those that are found gambling can face large fines and even serve jail time.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. Betting on horse racing and the lottery are two forms of gambling that are accepted in Japan.

To me, this seems hypocritical. You claim that gambling is illegal, but you may bet on horse racing, Pachinko, bicycle racing, boat racing, and Mahjong, which baffles me. I do not seem to understand. Why is that so? You claim it is unlawful, yet wagering on games that are overseen by the government is not unlawful. Is this not hypocritical? What does the government fear?


https://gamblingnewsmagazine.com/gambling-in-japan/

It would be hypocritical if betting on cycling races under the flag of a government organization would be allowed, but betting on cycling races under the flag of, for example, private companies is prohibited. But there is a clear difference here - I think you understand that a gambler can make 1000 bets per hour on dice (and this is available to him around the clock), but with all his desire he will not be able to make such a number of bets on bicycle races. In addition, they are held much less often than the casino throws the die. I think this is the difference.

I don't think it will be difficult for Barcelona to get 3 full points in the match against Getafe. Even though Getafe is playing at home, but their performance is still far below Barcelona, so it's likely they will play defensive football.
Logically it is weird if they won Real Madrid but can not win against Getafe. Barcelona are able to break defense of Getafe that is what I believe in. It won't be easy for Barcelona but they can do it.

One disadvantage of Barcelona is Lewandowski has not too good form recently for them. After a very impressive debut and beginning of season, it seems Lewandowski has difficult time after returning from World Cup 2022. That tournament affected his body and maybe partially because clubs in La Liga are getting more familiar with Lewandowski and already found defensive ways to constrain the striker.

There is nothing illogical in this if we consider not individual games but a series of games. There is no such club that would give out endless winning streaks of games, even if only considering weak opponents. Sooner or later, an unexpected loss of points occurs. But this does not mean that a club that has won 9 games out of 10 is weak, you just cannot show a 100% result.

This sentence was indeed a little lighter than their previous crimes and even though it was a little bigger than the original charge with a penalty of 9 points there.
As for the issue of reputation, I will not discuss this too much because indeed we can judge for ourselves when a team is proven to have violated 2 times, then indeed we know what reputation they deserve. but on the other hand, looking at the condition of the team, even though they are like that, I still think it will still be as usual and their fans will still be many.

The previous time when Juventus were punished even more severely and went to Serie B, they came back from there and then dominated for many years without a break. So if we take on a scale of several years, Juventus have not lost anything at all - next year they will simply miss the Champions League (and most likely they will have the opportunity to play in the Europa League) which will give them an additional resource to win Serie A. In fact, if they will act correctly they can return to the first place very quickly.

It seems like Erling Haaland has scored a hat trick quite often compared to other great players in the Premier League, at such a young age and being able to score a hat trick in several matches so far, of course, that is a very extraordinary achievement. I think it looks like Erling Haaland will get some credit for his success, and if Erling Haaland can be consistent like that then surely Manchester City will come back strong to stay in the title race.
Indeed, the opponent is Wolves who are clearly very different in quality but even so, Wolves can also sometimes play well and this match Wolves just can't take many shots at goal and that is their weakness.

Haaland has already scored 25 goals, and there are still almost half of the games ahead. It is clear that he will break Premier League records this season and most likely win the golden boot at the end of the season. It's funny that competitors from the championships of Spain, Italy, France have only 13 goals scored (12 from Germany). But the presence of such a striker does not guarantee titles.

On paper it should be Lens can easily get three points from Troyes on matchday 20, head to head also Lens ahead. Of course, to keep the gap with PSG they really need three points in this match. Although, Troyes will be playing at home but their winning record is not good so far. Lens squad at this away match must be to a good play, we don't want to see them only get one point, as match Lens vs Strasbourg.

At the moment, bookmaker quotes for this game are as follows:

5.10 - 3.85 - 1.68

Lens is the clear favorite, but the double chance for Troyes is pretty big too. By the way, I think that betting BTTS in this game is an easy choice - Troyes has absolutely crazy statistics: they have the highest sum of amount of goals scored and conceded in the league. At the same time, bookmaker quotes for this outcome are 1.87.

Why did you decide that Juventus will not qualify for the Champions League next season? Juve are still in the top four and still have half a season ahead of them.


Have you been looking for the latest information regarding the sanctions imposed on Juventus? oh, maybe you forgot something here !! Looking for it will give a little enlightenment. lol

At first glance, the picture is that Juventus was punished for providing manipulated data related to the nominal sale of players and so their position in the standings is 4 minus 15 points in Serie A. In other words, they are now in 10th place, including the possibility that Juventus officials will be punished with sanctions for 2 to 3 years not to be involved in Italian football.

In fact, information about the ongoing trial was scarce, so such a fleeting result was a surprise for many. He must have just missed the news.
By the way, not such a bad verdict for Juventus (and especially for its former leadership), as I understand it, manipulation in joint-stock companies is a criminal offense and the punishment could be much tougher.

Newcastle has had a lot of 0-0 results and if they continue like that it is a sure thing that in the end they will lose that 4th place.Tottenham also is not having the best of their days with Chelsea being also in a really bad position with awful performances lately,all these details give hope to Liverpool to believe despite Liverpool really bad results recently (Brighton lost game).

I also did badly in the pool but I won a lot of bets as I had double chance Brighton and Nottingham and also West Ham to win,if West Ham didn't win against Everton which is truly the worst team of the Premier League then against who would they win.

But Newcastle have only one defeat, so if we assume that they have a lot of draws there due to the small number of defeats, then this is excellent. And if you take this tour, then Tottenham lost, Chelsea and Liverpool played a draw - it turns out that Newcastle has strengthened its position relative to its competitors, since although the distance between the clubs has not changed, the number of games until the end of the championship has decreased.

Barcelona look like they are in search of another striker to increase the alternatives. At least the speculations say that. I have seen Enner Valencia's name in the rumours. Maybe this is related to the possibility of Depay's departure. I still think they shouldn't let him go yet but it looks like he can leave anytime. Depay is still a good backup option for Lewandowski actually.

Barcelona had better make their decision carefully not to have only Lewandowski as a striker in the squad. Otherwise the rest of the season might be in danger for them in case of Lewandowski's possible absence. The Europa League goal of them would also be affected badly.

Depay officially left Barcelona and joined Atlético. I don't know who Barcelona will be able to sign as a replacement as Barcelona only received three million euros for this transfer. It seems that their financial situation is bad and the La Liga management does not allow them new transfers even if they come up with new leverage.

Carlsen won another game today. Player from Uzbekistan has won again and is now a full point ahead of the rest of the field. Wonder if Carlsen can bring back the tension a bit. With black he is vulnerable. I don't know if Carlsen's goal is to reach 2900. Perhaps it is not realistic to have that goal. Then he will have to get a big plus score at all tournaments. A bad tournament is actually disastrous. I have not followed the Challengers group, but that is also a few levels lower. Iran secretly now also has some strong chess players, although Firouzja recently switched countries?

With two defeats in a row against not the strongest chess players, Carlsen's rating will drop after this tournament, no matter how far he plays.
There are always many strong chess players and female chess players in Iran. They run away from there with impressive regularity - if you search on Google, someone is constantly running away from there because of scandals with the hijab and other religious nonsense.

In general, this is a working idea, but how much do you plan to earn from it? 10-20-100 dollars? And this is in a good case if you can fulfill the conditions for receiving the bonus without losing your original money. Is it worth the risk of such a profit if you initially do not plan to play for fun, but want to make a profit?

I absolutely agree with you. Gambling just because you will be given a bonus when depositing is not the best idea. As I understand it, OP is a gambler who thinks he can beat the casino, but in fact he is one of those who pecks at marketing tricks without realizing it.

In my opinion, gambling is necessary only for pleasure and only for free money. Bonuses when replenishing an account are just a way to attract the attention of a gambler.

Theoretically, having a bonus and playing games with low casino margins, you can "save" part of the bonus and get extra money. The question is, is it worth the time? Generous bonuses like "100% on the first deposit" are usually limited to either a very small amount or have unrealistic wagering conditions.

I still can't believe that one of the clubs that will compete with Bayern Munich for the Bundeliga title this season, SC Freiburg had to lose painfully with a score of 6-0 against Wolfsburg. I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that SC Freiburg's defense in this match was so bad that Wolfsburg's players were free to launch attacks and score goals. Shocked

These are Bayern's rivals for the title  Grin
Something else made me laugh: having lost points in the game with Leipzig, Bayern, instead of falling back into a position of shaky leadership, on the contrary, strengthened it and broke away from second place by another point  Grin
The standings also look nice: clubs from 2nd to 4th place have the same statistics for wins/draws/losses.

I also don't want to be fascinated by Manchester City's squad too much. I believe they have the best squad among the Champions League teams now.

But this doesn't guarantee anything for them about winning the title anyway. Haaland is of course an incredible addition as we have witnessed his performance so far. However there are still matches that they lose very unexpectedly in the end. Maybe they will get stuck in one of the stages in the Champions League like the previous season. Who knows maybe Real Madrid would be their opponent again and we would see a similar scenario. Guardiola has a really difficult task to perform for reaching the title.

City last year, even in games with crisis Atlético experienced problems. They could lose even before they meet Real (if Real go far at all). City have a great squad and probably in a round-robin tournament they would be clear favorites, but in knockout games, how the bookmakers evaluate them is simply ridiculous - the odds for City to win the Champions League are 2.45.

A magnificent victory that will give Real strength and self-confidence. A second loss in a row and elimination from the tournament would have been a big blow, but once again an epic comeback and Real Madrid avoided such a deep failure in such a short period of time. I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.
Yesterday we have two matches which were play on same tempo and have similar results as well, but I was not expecting result like this from Real Madrid because they already lost their match against same opponent few days back in La Liga match and now things were not good for them, but they have done amazing fight back announce about their strength as well which could be surely now understandable for many these were feeling they are already out of the competition.

After trailing by two goals at the end of the first half Real Madrid and Manchester City both fights back in style and win their respective matches which is surely impressive from these both teams which are already on same level in their respective leagues and now have same challenge after few days in Champions League hopefully things could be good and favourable for them to win their challenging matches and qualification of the next round.

Imagine my feelings last night: I see a 0-2 result for Real Madrid and I think "is it really a deep crisis and the season will be a failure?". At the same time, I see the result 0-2 for City and I think: "how good, I hope this defeat completely ruins their chances for the title." And in the end, everything turns upside down in both games.
I end up going to bed happy and sad at the same time Grin

The distance for Juventus to 4th place is 12 points and there is a whole crowd of clubs in front of it. They have no chance of getting into the Champions League next year. Now we will see an even more lively rivalry for the top 4 - due to the fall of Juventus, one of the big four slots has become vacant.
As for punishment, I think it is fair - there are actions and there are their consequences, this must be accepted.

Meanwhile, Napoli have won another victory and are moving towards the title at an incredible pace.
