Juventus won the game against Inter and now they may have or not have 56 points.

The young boys are not so bad after all...

Juventus is running a good form these days after facing penalties and points deductions. It is appearing more convincing to me that Juventus Will likely end at the top 4 because they are becoming more consistent and a way far better than what they were last season.
Being able to win Inter today with a lone goal is a good achievement and if they main the form, they will end well this season.

If you look at the result, it seems like an easy enough win for United. They were a bit lucky though, it was a penalty but you rarely see 2 straight red cards being given in 30 seconds.

The draw has been completed as well, City is hosting Sheffield and United is playing away at Brighton.

I'm really rooting for Brighton, they deserve something out of this season. They have been playing fantastic football.

Three red cards in 30 seconds. The handball and Willian red card were well deserved, but I have no idea why the coach and Mirovic were booked, the coach could have said something but I think the ref was carried away by emotions, what Mitrovic did was a yellow card offence and not a red card offence, we have seen a worse situation before and no one was booked for it. Ronaldo and Messi pushed officials numerous times and were only given yellow cards in a few instances. The ref's officiating was bad; he ruined the game for Fulham, who would have won if it hadn't been for the bookings.
In the Fulham loss the player I pitty most was Williams. The 34yrs old played the football with all his strength and might. He was practically seen running from post to post and he got some few important shots on target but David De Gea saved them.
Although his red card was deserving but Mitrovic acted so unprofessional and that was why he was booked.
Checking the severity of the offence of pushing ref, you don't dare a referee that gave a red card and still holding the red card in his hands.

It is not easy for psg in the Champions league. The champions league is the toughest league you can think  of. PSG is leading the French league because their are no strong teams that can challenge PSG.
The champions has many strong teams competing to get the championship.
in the champions league, PSG is the favorite team to win, but seeing the quality of their performance in the last few matches, I doubt they will be able to win the champions league, the thing that really doesn't make sense to me is because they were beaten by Rennes twice this year just. that means rennes is a stronger team than PSG, totally unexpected.
They are the favorite team but in terms of percentage they are not more favorite than the other teams, like Bayern Munich who knocked them out, Manchester City and Real madrid, in my opinion. I see them relying solely on luck even with the star players in their squad. It may seem exaggerated when I say they only rely on luck, but that is a form of disappointment for them with a series of star players.

I have noticed one thing about PSG. Among their three star players. There is a combination that will miss and they will fall apart.
Among Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.  It seems that it is Neymar that completes them and plays better with the rest two.
For instance, in the absence of Messi, Neymar plays well with Mbappe. And in the absence of Mbappe, Neymar plays well with Messi.
But in the absence of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi was eliminated in Champions League and also defeated today.

Arsenal already closed the game today in the 43rd minute and therefore scored the 2-0 just before the break. Then the game was basically over.

Arsenal winning Crystal palace was expected but I didn't think we all believe the scoreline would be this disgraceful. Crystal palace aren't bottom of the table and they should be putting up a fight to Arsenal even though Arsenal has been very good this season. The game should be ending with nothing less than a one goal lead if arsenal should be winning them.
the best player in the game with him netting twice.

I didn't also understand why Crystal Palace lost woefully. Recently in English Premier League any club that sacks their coach will be expecting a win or draw in the next match after which they sacked their coach.
I don't know why the case of Viara and Crystal Palace is different that they had to lose so woefully.
Does this suggest that is wasn't the coach issues?

Arsenal already closed the game today in the 43rd minute and therefore scored the 2-0 just before the break. Then the game was basically over. Manchester United won 3-1 against Fullham in the FA cup, but the final score does not accurately reflect the course of the game. United had a very difficult time and a sensation was in the air. United were behind until the 75th minute, but it helped United that Fullham received no less than 2 red cards in the 72nd minute. Then something very strange must have happened in that match. But then it was also quickly over because after the 1-1 in the 75th minute, the 2-1 followed 2 minutes later. It was then easy to play football for United against 9 men.
Arsenal having one-sided affair in today game which ends with the score of 4 - 1, and now they are still had good difference from the second spotted Manchester City.

Agreed about Manchester United vs Fulham because until 75th minute I was sure we are going to have another match at home of Fulham but sadly suddenly these REDCARDS change the match momentum in favor of them and Fulham were not able to stop them from doing things like these very quickly 9 men were not ideal situation to stop third best team in Premier League which is looking for the second title in this season after winning EFL Cup few weeks back now they are going to face Brighton at Wembley Stadium for the semifinal spot with most chances we are going to have Manchester derby into final of this year's The FA Cup.

The Arsenal game made it clear to me that their officials are interested on the premier league than European league, the team has proven to be the capable team to lead the league table. It's better for them to focus on one league than shuffling both European league and premier league, which is the reason they must have forfeited the first mentioned league. Man United on the other hand, got their morale from the penalty kick that topped their goal counts. And I was surprised that they won the game within that short minutes of time. I enjoyed watching the Man United game, because they ewualized the game and won. Unlike Arsenal game they were so many goals.
While other premier league clubs are expecting Arsenal to drop point especially Manchester City who are contending for the premier league title with them, Arsenal has instead been in superb form and playing at the top of their strength

Mikel Arteta has changed the mentality of this Arsenal side and that's the difference between this particular team and the other Arsenal teams that has tried to win the league since they last did the invincibles in 2004. There are still 10 more premier league matches to play before the end of the season but I don't see anyone stoping them from winning the league.

Barcelona 2 - 1 Real Madrid

 Cry

again we lost against barcelona, in la liga we are not doing well this season, the big mistake of not bringing strikers when the market was open, but real madrid didn't do that, and now we are suffering defeats when we play against barcelona, anyway winning the league this season is impossible, and the coach had better consent to us getting the second position and winning the champions league, at least that would make up for it this season


The problem of Real Madrid is not that they don't have a striker. They have very good attackers who are young and vibrant to the And also they have been Benzema, an experienced striker.
It does not mean that whenever Real Madrid lose we have to attribute their loss to one mistake or the other.

Is it not the same strikers that  have been winning the Champions League matches and other matches?
Tonight wasn't for Madrid no matter the efforts of Vinicius Junior
5847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 19, 2023, 08:43:52 PM
It's El Clasico night! FC Barcelona is nine points ahead of Real Madrid and they are in a very comfortable position. Even if they lose tonight they still have a big advantage. For that reason the pressure over Real Madrid will be more. Real has no choice but to win the game, but Barca is okay with a draw so they can keep the point difference same. Real Madrid will take more risks. It's the last chance for them.
Let's see squads. Both teams will play 4-3-3 and they don't have any big players missing. Raphinha, Gavi and Lewandowski will look out for goals in Barca and Benzema, Vini Jr. and Valverde in Real Madrid.
I expect both teams to score and one team to win the game so my choice is over 2.5 goals. Odds were tempting so I took it at 2.08.
Correct. It looks like Barcelona will indeed play more comfortably in this match. because after all the difference of 9 points is still quite large. but if Barcelona manage to win this match then the point gap will indeed widen and of course Real Madrid must win this match if they don't want the point gap to widen. I hope there will be lots of goals in this game.
I'm watching the match and they truly seem comfortable playing, they are threatening the defense but they should keep things safe from counter attacks, things could get tricky in this match, I'm expecting a lot of goals from both sides.
The comfortability of Barcelona tonight doesn't have anything to do with Real Madrid's quest to retain the Spanish La Liga title and that is why they'll want to score first and which they have. Madrid is currently leading with a goal to nil. Barcelona might thinking that if they lose tonight's match they're still at the top of the league with 6 points while Real Madrid will want to win by all means to reduce the point difference and that'll will be a more motivating factor for the Los Blancos.

Madrid I think might not win the league at the end of the season but they'll fight for the title the last match day if possible

In about 30 minutes Inter Milan play vs Juventus and El Classico also.

But now to SSC Napoli: The 4-0 win today against FC Torino is the 3 points that lead to a 21-point advantage in the championship. We had discussed it with before, there has never been such a lead in a championship on the end, the record is 18 points. Victor Osimhen will get very good offers to change his club. In 2020 he came from OSC Lille, he has also played in Germany and Italy is making him to a champion. The next stadium is definitely England.
After Napoli's champions league performance in midweek abd the Champions League draw on Friday I was actually backing them to go on and win their quarter final and semifinal opponents and do play their best on in Istanbul and hope that luck favors them at the final.

But after watching their scintillating performance today against Torino I'm backing them to go all out and beat not just the quarter and semifinals opponents but also anyone that emerges as their CL final opponents. Victor Osimhen their best player is in the form of his life right now. He's bullying defenders and scoring goals for fun. Italian football is back and Napoli is flying the Italian flag

Things can be really interesting after this goal scored by Leverkusen just now. They have scored a penalty and got 2-1 ahead in the match now.

The first half was really awkward. Bayern Munich had only one goal attempt in the whole half but still they managed to finish the half 1-0 ahead. In the second half Bayern Munich started to keep the match more balanced. But this time Leverkusen have made a really incredible comeback now. Their job won't be easy about keeping this advantage to the end truthfully. But if they do Dortmund will finish a week as the leader for the first time after a long time I assume. This will be very important for Dortmund on the road to the title.

I think now Dortmund will be very happy with Bayern screwing it up real big.In fact I was extremely surprised when they got the advantage as Leverkussen were dominating completely the game,4-0 with corners and also with shots on goal compared to Bayern Munchen and Munchen got the first goal.Of course I must say that the referee had some impact on this game as he gave two penalties to Leverkussen as without them Leverkussen had difficulties to score despite dominating the game.I never have seen a worse Bayern Munchen than the one of tonight and they will lose this game based on their performance with just 5 minutes of game remaining.
Borussia Dortmund are surely gonna be more happy with the result of today's match between than Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich than the Leverkusen team that won the match.
Bayern Munich came into the match at the back of an excellent champions league outing against Paris Saint Germain and I was thinking they were gonna cruise to victory against Leverkusen but no the Leverkusen players had another thought and they played the match with determination and resilience

Real Betis - Mallorca
Real Betis have the advantage of playing at home, they have a chance to get three points today, also after they failed in the Europa League it seems Real Betis is possibility will be more to focus on La Liga for the rest match of this season to at least be in a better position. Real Betis head to head record is also better than Mallorca, so on paper Real Betis should be able to win and I hope they don't make any mistake with sharing points or losing this match.
Yes as hosts I think real betis are pushing hard to finish in the top four and especially now having no cup distractions after they were knocked out of the Europa League by Manchester United. But Betis is in good form in LaLiga and is unbeaten in 5 matches heading into this clash. My prediction is that Betis will win the match against Mallorca later with a score of 1 - 0
It's been more than 20 minutes of the match and the score is still 0-0. Real Betis took control of the game from the early minutes and they tried to find loopholes to break into Mallorca's defense. But so far Mallorca has successfully repelled every attack launched by Real Betis. Acting as hosts they have the advantage, and also statistically they are better than today's guest, Mallorca.
Real Betis already led in the second half with a score of 1-0, but yes in the first half they couldn't score and ended with 0-0, then I made another bet, because the odds for Real Betis are quite good above 2.3 Cheesy. I'm too sure Real Betis will win, also Real Betis really controlled this match so the chances of them winning are very high, hopefully there will be no surprises from Mallorca.
After this match we will watch Osasuna vs Villarreal match, I hope both teams can scored, the odds are pretty good too 1.95. What do you think about this match guys?
Real Betis has had a great season judging by their standard and the quality of players at the club's disposal. After they were ousted by Manchester United last week I know they'll channel all their energy to La Liga.

They're currently 5th in the La Liga table this season and they'll be three points behind fourth placed Real Sociedad and 6 points behind third placed Atletico Madrid If they can see off their current match which I think they'll win,

After spending that kind of money and their is no difference in Chelsea performance, I don't know why Chelsea is still keeping Potter, they should just go ahead and get a better coach, if Chelsea will still keep Potter, them and expecting their performance to even get worst even after spending that kind of money. Potter is not really having the experience to coach Chelsea, with the amount spent, Chelsea is not still suppose to be in 10th position on the table.
Chelsea are still in the Champions League, which is a good result considering they were able to beat Dortmund. Also, I think it's right that Potter is given time to build a team, remember Arsenal's results last season. I not say that Chelsea will lead the Premier League next season, but that Potter is given time is correct.

Now all the forces will be directed to the Champions League, because Potter understands that they will not achieve anything in the Premier League. And it's not surprising that Everton, who are fighting for survival, were able to get a points from Chelsea in the last minutes, they now need it more.
Of a truth, one undisputable fact in club football is that sometimes big teams do suffer from poor results thereby drawing heavy criticisms from their unhappy fans.
That being said,  I think Chelsea's status as UEFA Champions League quarter finalists shouldn't be a reason to justify their poor and inconsistent  performance this season.
The club's management has hugely spent in signing high profile players and good results should be a necessary expectancy from the players.

There are some special features possessed by a team that is set to achieve a title. This season, the winning character reflects in Feyenord more than it does in Ajax. When feyenord won the Eredivisie title in 2017 it was the same. It was seen on their ability from the Start and they were already leading the top flight before the end of the season. Ajax has written their name several time in Eredivisie title run currently they have won a triple count in chain, this season doesn't seem to be theirs. It will be a good thing to have another name written.

Dortmund is a team that has been able to profit a lot from selling players, maybe that's why they don't try hard to win the Bundesliga, but this season they might have some luck if bayern makes mistakes, in this next bayern game for example, if bayern loses and dortmund win they will have a 1 point advantage, which is not a big deal, to be honest i don't see bayern not being the bundesliga winner

Dortmund have priority with business than how compete in Bundesliga for winning domestic league and stopping with Bayern Munich domination, can't counted how many star player selling by Dortmund every season and manager have rebuilding with new formation after several main player selling to the other team.

Seems different in this season due inconsistent performance from Bayern Munich give chance for Dortmund for stopping Bayern Munich domination in Bundesliga last ten years ago, current standing left two points only and still have chance if next two games Dortmund can defeat Bayern Munich and actually back to the top standing position.

Even if, for example, Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich, I personally believe that in the end Bayern Munich will be able to return to the top of the Bundesliga. Because even if Dortmund, for example, can beat Bayern Munich, you also have to remember that there is still the next match and Dortmund will never be able to consistently win.

Therefore, winning against Bayern Munich is still not a guarantee for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title. Because a team like Bayern Munich has a better way to finally get back to the top because after all, there is still no team in the Bundesliga that can stop Bayern Munich's dominance.
No doubt, Bayern Muich is known for Business from time immemorial, but There is a big different between the Dortmund team that used to appear in the top of German Bundesliga and the Dortmund team we are seeing now. The style of play,  the management, the team spirit/ Consistency and every other things makes it all up. Now the team has been messed up. Even without big names in the team, Dortmund isn't in a shape good enough to fight for the Bundesliga title this season. The assumption that Dortmund will win Bauern is a bet on wrong horse.

This could easily become do or die for Real Madrid with just a single game. If they lose that means we have 12 point difference and there isn't enough game to cover the difference, it may look like there is a potential for it mathematically but we all know that it won't happen so Barcelona would practically be celebrating their league title after the game if they win.

However, if Real wins then the point difference will drop to realistic levels and they could pass them with just a few lucky games, still not entirely certain and may not happen so Real would not be celebrating anything, but at least they will still have a chance left to win it in the end.
Although Real Madrid are behind Barcelona in La Liga, they are still favorites for La Liga. Because at any moment Real Madrid can do something great. As Real Madrid are in a great position in the Champions League, doing well in La Liga is not a concern for them.
Real Madrid's performance in Europe this season has been impressively superb and as matter of fact, they've been backed by bookmakers to go all the way and retain the universal's most coveted trophy in club football.
But saying they are the favorites to win the Spanish La Liga is a big slap on the face of Barcelona who I think is going to do anything possible to win the domestic title thus season.

Real Madrid is great club that has great footballers but I don't see them lifting the league at the expense of Barcelona

Yeah I know, I just thought if their position will no longer be able to be chase by rivals in Serie A, why spend stamina chase something that will definitely be theirs, that's what I mean regarding Napoli's consistency could have decrease after ensure they will winning in the League
Talks about the Champions League, one thing is certain that the participants in the UCL is not the same as face by Napoli in Serie A, they need something more to be able to bring home the UCL title

Sometimes it needs bit of luck too to win UCL. Things are turning out well for Napoli this season and I think they can do it in UCL this season. This season three Serie A teams have qualified for quarterfinals - Inter, AC Milan and Napoli and out of these 3 I think Napoli has the best shot at the UCL title. There are some tough opponents from them at UCL but if their manager manages them properly then they can give them tough time giving their best.
Fit the first time in over a decade, we have 3 Italian teams in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League and that is a great way to advertise Italian football to the world.
The draw for the quarter finals and semifinals also favours the Italian teams to make it to the final in Istanbul and if there's any Italian team that can go all the way and win the competition, that's surely gonna be Napoli

The performance of this Napoli side this season has been overwhelmingly impressive and they also have lethal and very sharp striker in Victor Osimhen who has been terrorising the opposition defense. If they can continue with the way they're playing this season, Napoli might end as the European Champions.

United, Sevilla, Juventus, Sporting, Leverkusen, Roma are all trophy candidates, IMO, only Royale and Feyenoord chances are a bit lower, but Feyenoord has a really good season (weekend will have big decision on their season against Ajax)
wanted to see Fenerbahce in next round, but Sevilla is in EL on their playground

Imagine that just last year I would pick Sevilla and Juventus easily. I wouldn't even have put Arsenal in Last 16. But now the obvious favorite here is United, and they will probably try their best to make sure they have 2 trophies.

Sevilla loves this cup we all know that but I agree Feyenoord is also to eye, but they probably want to focus on Ajax and keeping their place?
Looking at the remaining eight teams in the UEFA Europa League competition and without being sentimental, it's very obvious to every football fan that Manchester United is the favourite team to win the cup at the end of the season judging by every teams their general performances this season

But the fact that they'll have to eliminate Sevilla who is the most successful club in the competition to achieve their task should be major concern for the club. And Juventus who also performing very well this season is also in the same match-up with them

Actually, looking at the history of the previous few seasons, this season is the tightest season but it's likely that this won't take long because Bayern are slowly starting to drift away now.

As for the match against Leverkusen, there is a clear chance that it's just that sometimes Bayern always has problems when playing against clubs that are under performing. But the possibility of this happening is very small for now.
There is no doubt about Bayern Munich power and quality but here we have to check other teams are also now improving as they are feeling they need to be had better results before end of this season same happening in case of Bayer Leverkusen which was having the worst start of this season but after change of coach now they are doing amazing stuff with currently 9th in Bundesliga and reached in quarter-final of the Europa Cup which is impressive from them.

Most chances Bayern Munich will be having to win here at BayArena Leverkusen because in last four meetings they never lost any game but this time we can expect good challenge from them as now they are also looking for better end of this season and good preparation for the next season.
Undoubtedly, other German clubs are doing exceptionally well this season which is a good development for German football and the best way to advertise the German Football football to the rest of the world.

But no matter how improved they seem to be this I'm yet to see any of them that can stop Bayern's dominance in the league nor stop them from lifting the Bundesliga at the end of the season. The number of world class players and the depth of the Bayern squad makes it a huge difficult task for the other teams

The Champions League draw today that defines every remaining team in the competition's route to the final is a difficult one for the bigger teams and favours the supposed smaller teams to make it to the final in Istanbul.

One of Napoli, AC Milan, Benfica and Inter Milan will surely make it to this season's final while one of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Bayern Munich must eliminate the other three teams to make it to the finals. Neutrals are gonna like it while fans of the respective bigger clubs are gonna be nervous. What a time to be football fan

To me, I think that the heavy destructive effects of war to humanity is far beyond any perceived benefit anyone can think of because during war, innocent children who are absolutely ignorant of the contentions that led to war are being in killed in cold blood.

That being said, there are people or nations who does wish for other nations or people to engage in war because of the huge economic benefits they're going  to derive when these wars happen. Some nations go as far as inciting violence and war with documentaries of past historical sad events thereby refreshing the wounds of the disadvantageous nations and make them to take actions in they think can be take to revenge their past horrors.

My experience about the Covid19 was not a bad one I must say. After the breakout and the introduction of new safety guidelines was announced in my country, it became obvious that the best place for me to live at time was to relocate to my village from the big city I was living in

My village is a remote setting where most inhabitants never believed that Covid19 was real and that's why social distancing was not practiced there. People were going about their daily business which is mainly agricultural farming without any fear for the virus and they only problem we had at that time was unavailability of products that were used to be shipped in from the developed city because of the transportation ban.
