In my opinion, a very tough game is waiting for us. Juventus lost their last game against Inter in Serie A. Napoli defeated Fiorentina with a huge 6-0 score. Juventus are better than Napoli in the last head-to-heads between them. It will be hard but I think Juventus will defeat Napoli and win the cup. Do not look on Napoli score and previous results since it has nothing to do. Those guys are just humiliating a team even with big score to lose the next one easily. I will say that Juve has slightly better chances to win. |

Monchengladbach are going to play a home game against Bremen this evening. Gladbach are the 8th with 25 points and Bremen are the 12th with 18 points. Gladbach lost only once in the last 5 matches and Bremen got 2 wins. I expect a win for Gladbach here.
M'Gladbach is better but not consistent. Bremen is not very good but can made a surprise win. I think M'Gladbach to win too but wouldn't be surprised to see a draw or Bremen to win unless with +2 goals difference! For the other games, Wolfsburg and Hertha to win. Leverkusen - Dortmund, BVB imo. |

And Messi, in my opinion, needs to be treated for nerves. Next time the punishment may be harsher.
The decision to ban him for only next 2 matches is ridiculous imo. It was supposed to be 4 games at least but this one is so soft. We are talking about missing Copa del Ray game vs Cornella, we all know that substitutes play mostly those kinds of games so Messi playing on it wasn't obvious.. The second game will be vs Elche, yeah big deal... Then he can return in Bilbao's game again? I have no comments. |

Bayern is suffering in defense, getting Alba out of the team will make things worse but what is worse than getting one of the highest received goals in Bundesliga honestly!! I believe Bayern could fix their defense line (strategy, defenders, midline..) without counting on Alba and they should. Until now their many goals allowed them to be number 1 not their defense line. For Messi, I agree too that Barcelona should let him go since apparently they will not get anything this year with or without him + they will lose him for free soon.. |

He does know how legendary players will be replaced by younger players. He enjoyed this process when took the position of Ronaldinho more than decade ago.
Messi now is as a tutor for Ansu Fati like Ronaldinho was in the past. I don't believe Ansu Fati has same extraordinary skills like Messi does but 2 stories are similar.
I agree with you. Messi is now do the duty as Ansu Fati's teacher. As was Ronaldinho. Although Ansu Fati is not an extraordinary player like Messi, but he is very talented. I am hopeful that Fati will play well in Messi's absence. Ansu Fati, Pedri and Griezmann will lead the future Barca Ansu Fati is young and can be more threatening than Messi in the future in term of scoring obviously, because overall Messi will remains better. He still needs more training after recovering from the injury. Hopefully he will not be injured like Dembele otherwise... This week is going to start with 3 games tomorrow. One of them is Alaves-Sevilla. Sevilla are doing good compared to Alaves. They lost to Atletico Madrid the last and I think they will want to have a good result here. I don't think Alaves can do much against them. My bet is on Sevilla's win.
Sevilla is a good team and they did a great match againts atleteco but unfortenetly they lost the match...i think the alaves match is a very good oppurtunity for them to recover and get the 3 points Indeed I expect Sevilla to win. I read in the news, yesterday tho, about them refusing to sell En-Nesyri to West Ham, since he is a key player (and maybe the offered money was't attractive) |

Juventus is still well behind the leader. Too bad they left it that way at the beginning of the season. Then you see the influence it has if Matthijs De Ligt does not participate in the defense.
Would be nice to see if AC Milan can be the champions, that is way to long time ago already that that happened.
Well, if you look to EPL for example now and before few weeks, you will find a huge change, both Manchester's teams came from far far away while the first teams dropped significantly. Here we are in the middle of Serie A, so everything could change at the end. Milan's teams have to stay consistent to prevent Juve from taking the title and this seems possible indeed this season! |

match in Leicester is much more interesting for me, think that Leicester have a good chance for a top position late evening, but Chelsea will not lost this one, they have already throw too many points, for this to add, expecting a draw here, we will see
Leicester is doing great while Chelsea is struggling to win/draw. I am leaning towards Leicester to win this but a draw is also possible.. Paradoxically, bookies are in favor of Chelsea.. |

Final day of first groups, time to wrap it up. Some bets I am looking for today:
Japan to win, probably with handicap - I am still looking for some info on Angola squad, I believe they lost at least one very important player against Croatia and looking for some confirmations before betting. Japan looked good and should win this without much problems.
Croatia - Qatar over 49.5 - This could be a tight game but somebody will also have to chase a result and I believe 50 goals is not too high number. Qatar is getting back Youssef Ben Ali, very good pivot and among top scorers in their squad which should help push this bet in the green. I am also looking for Halil Jaganjac over goals but I have not yet found a bookie offering this. Margin should be very low since he did not play much yet and I believe he will score a couple of goals today.
I expect Japan to win, I watched a part of their game vs Croatia and they did quite well comparing to what we used to know about them. I find group B interesting and followed it. Today Spain will face Tunisia which will be a tight one especially that Tunisian are looking for at least a single win, yet I expect Spain to win. Poland vs Brazil is also hard imo. The final results of their games are very close too. I expect a draw. Wouldn't bet in this group since the final result could flip in few seconds. For Qatar - Croatia, I doubt they will score less than 50 goals. |

What a dramatic finish for the Copa Del Rey final with Barcelona leading 2-1 in the minute 77 and then out of nowhere Bilbao for being told in Spain by the newspaper that they are alongside 3 teams in history of LaLiga that did not relegate ( Real , Barca , Bilbao ) but this season might be that one that might do it.
Then, out of nowhere Bilbao played a so nice football that manage to equalize Barcelona and then take the victory (3-2) and the trophy so massive congrats to them and I hope they will manage to avoid relegation aswell.
A nice comeback, a nice third goal and a trophy. Bilbao deserves it without any doubt. Now about the red card, it was well deserved for [UFC]Messi. Less than 4 matches ban will be questionable! The poor guy is being ruined by Barcelona and I guess now it is clear why: Barça managers are trying hard to lower his chances to get a better contract somewhere else. I do not like how they are treating him as he did a lot to his team when they needed it most. Now, that the opposite is happening he is being held an hostage by the blaugrana. Very sad. I wouldn't argue about that and wish him good luck somewhere else. Barcelona is no longer attractive for him for many reasons and I respect that but honestly what he did was very aggressive, unprofessional and not justified. He might be suffering psychologically and needs assistance or a rest but slapping and throwing his opponent that way will make him a target for more criticism. He might face a ban up to 12 matches.. |

Arsenal Newcastle today, I think it could go either way. I would tend towards Newcastle on grittiness but Arse are seeming to be coming back to life. Table,  https://i.imgur.com/dqz5WLo.jpgYou know it is hard to trust a team failing hardly lately plus failing to win against the worst team this season so far aka Sheffield!!! In the other side, Arsenal woke up a while ago so their odds are quite better imo. |

AC Milan won 19 of 37 matches last season. They have won 12 of 17 matches and drawn 4 this season. This time they are playing with the aim of winning the title. Today AC Milan will play against Cagliari today. Hopefully today they will be able to easily defeat Cagliari. Cagliari is not such a good team. I hope AC Milan will win today's match 3-0.
Cagliari isn't in its "best shape" with only 3 wins out of 17 games and 4 successive defeats lately. Normally Milan could win easily with 2 goals difference at least. |

It’s ok to panic. Being in tune with one’s emotions is healthy. You can ever learn to use your own emotions to help you see why the market is reacting the way it is. The problems don’t start until you start letting your emotions guide your decisions. Panic is ok, panic selling is not.
Wise words I will never forget when I learned about bitcoin, joined the forums and started collecting coins, when the price dropped badly and many topics popped in this sub calling to sell your assets, bitcoin is dead... Obviously this didn't happen at that time nor in the dozen times that followed it (and will never). Now we are witnessing a historical moment, even if the price dropped too much, I will not care, I started from 0, owned a good amount, sold a small part of it and will keep holding so even if we will see bad months/years, I am pretty sure bitcoin will rise again. I believe on that. Once anyone started believing in bitcoin, panic will be erased by confidence  |

First serious day of Championship today and nobody posting any picks, makes me sad  I wanted to copy some good ideas and now you made me make my own so here it goes: Probably because not many people follow the handball here on bitcointalk. I have seen this first thread dedicated to handball in this section. Can you tell me where are you betting on these matches ? Didn't notice the topic personally until now although it was created a week ago. I will not bet on it, I will just follow few games whenever I have free time. New young players in different teams made me a little sceptic. Today I watched Brazil vs Tunisia which was leading with 4 goals difference but couldn't manage to keep that gap and the game end with a draw. At the last minute there was a controversial goal? for Tunisia but was cancelled. |

He kissed more than a badge, he kissed Juve's goal too just few minutes later Half time, Inter 1-0 Juve, but with CR7 + Morata + Chiesa in the field everything could change mmmaybe? Edit: bad news coinlocket, it is 2-0 now |

It is Man City’s title for me.
I couldn't say that few weeks ago but both Manchester's teams came from far to grab the first two spots with a decent failure of Everton then Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool.. City 2nd until now (2-0, 25 minutes left vs Crystal Palace) with 1 lacking game. |

Also in my hopinion this has nothing to do with racism.
It depends. If a magazine from another part of the country or another country put it then it will definitely looks racist. In France or USA for example it may attract more attention. Anyway let's pass this. Napoli got a huge win against Fiorentina today (6-0). They are waiting for Inter-Juventus game now. If we see a draw in this game, Napoli will like this for sure. Another team that will be happy about it is Milan of course. Their match is tomorrow against Cagliari.
Milan would like to see a draw or Inter defeat to secure a certain gap then Juve defeats will be welcome. Napoli destructed Fiorentina! Crotone 4-1 Benevento??? Seriously! Atalanta 0-0 Genoa... |

Bayern got a nice win against Freiburg (2-1). They played very dominantly in both halves. Lewandowski and Muller carried the team to the win. This is a very good week for Bayern surely. Because all of their serious opponents in the league lost points.
Well, you can only say that for the Bundesliga, that Bayern had a good week  A few days ago, Bayern embarrassingly lost against a second division team in the cup and were eliminated on penalties. It's been more than a decade since Bayern were eliminated so early in the cup. With the narrow win against Freiburg the club crisis could be averted for the moment, but everything now depends on the upcoming matches. Yeah I wouldn't say that I was confident about Bayern winning that game seeing their previous results and especially the humiliating defeat vs Kiel... It is nice to see them increasing the gap although the bad previous results, thanks to the defeat of their direct opponents! BTW Schalke lost its game, nice. |

^ United is a counter attacking squad. So higher posession by Liverpool doesn’t automatically mean domination. And really you gotta watch the match and give it the eye test rather than just by looking at the live stats.
I followed the game in the first half before switching to handball and overall both teams relayed on counter attacks without success. The free kick after Shaqiri fault almost costed LFC a goal, otherwise I feel there was a lack of concentration. Seeing their performance in the first half, I wasn't surprised to see the final result 0-0. |

I do not want to be off-topic but such cover could be seen racist imo. Otherwise the face off between Juve and Inter is intense like batman vs superman (movie) battle  Napoli are demolishing Fiorentina 4-0 right now. But there is an interesting statistics that Napoli got 4 shots on target and 4 goals in the first half. They are having a great day for sure. After this victory, Napoli will go up to the 3rd place.
Someone call Napoli to calm them and ask them to split this result in 2 or 3 games rather than winning with 4 and 5 goals then lose the next game vs weaker team.. |
