Congrats, mate! What a game. Similar like in yesterday's game I think that both teams is worth to play in Final 4, but someone have to lose and winner was decided in small details.
As said few posts above, I had a feeling that Fenerbahche can become first team to win Game 5 away. And damn, Calathes, such clutch play, especially missing many 3-pointers before. Now I just feel sad for Mike James. One of best Euroleague players is still without trophy and at his age, nobody knows how many chances he will have.
Barca - Olympiacos, another game of equal teams. Another very low scoring, defensive game, but damn, how Barca collapsed in the end of 4th quarter...
Thank you.  We have really capable players in our roster which always makes me hopeful to come back. I must admit that arūnas Jasikevičius was also doing his best today. He was always shouting at the players about what they should do to keep our hopes alive. When it comes to Mike James I agree with you. He is really a quality player at the Euroleague level. Tonight he was the best of his team with 20 points. To be honest I wasn't expecting Barcelona to lose in front of their supporters. Their not reaching Final Four is a surprise to me. |

By the way McLaren brought really big upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix. Norris used it in the best way obviously. Next time the same thing is expected by Ferrari. They had a decent race in Miami but that position loss for Sainz made it worse. But Ferrari looks promising for the future. For Imola Grand Prix, I will consider giving a chance to at least one Ferrari driver. But it is always better to make predictions after seeing practice results.  |

We made it! It was a really tough match for us though. We could have finished this without OT actually. Wilbekin used that chance really poorly. But in the last moments of OT, Calathes took a big responsibility and single-handedly brought the win to us. First a 3-pointer and later a critical steal by him. Now we are going to Final Four and our next opponent is Panathinaikos. There is a familiar name there who is their coach Ergin Ataman.  By the way there is an interesting statistics. Fenerbahçe have become the first team to win away in Game 5 and reach Final Four by this way in the current system. |

PSG ligde o kadar rahat ki yani 10 tane beraberlik almışlar ama hala 1 maç eksikle 9 puan farkla lider olabiliyor. Ligde rekabet adına bir şey kalmadı. Nadiren bir takım şampiyonluk için PSG ile rekabet edebiliyor (mesela birkaç sezon önceden Lille örneği). PSG'nin ana hedefi Şampiyonlar Ligi'ni kazanmak ama bunu hala başaramıyorlar. Eğer yine başarısız olunursa Mbappe'nin Real Madrid'e katılma olasılığı oldukça yüksek olur. Şu an için henüz kararını vermediğini söylemişti.

Interesting face that so far in Euroleague history there was 19 Game 5 andso far all decisive games were won by home teams. Now I have feeling that new history will be written. And if I have to guess, I think that Fenerbahche will make it against Monaco.
Tonight we have Panathinaikos - Maccabi, for me it's 50/50 game completely, not going to predict it. BTW, great thing that all 3 games will be played on different time.
 The current odds for Game 5 are like above. Bookmakers give Monaco a bigger chance after they captured the court advantage. But I also believe that we have a good chance to win the last match to qualify for Final Four. We beat Monaco away once in the series. It is quite possible to do it again. Defensive game didn't work in the previous match. Sarunas Jasikevicius is a really good coach and I believe in his tactical choices in this critical game to bring the win. |

Was Lando Norris lucky in Miami?  I watched him giving interviews after the race was finished and he was so happy like little kid, you can see this was his dream. He is not 24 years old, with 83 points collected in this season, and I think there is a bright future for him in Formula 1. I cant say I expected him to be on podium but I didnt have time to watch any trainings and qualifications results. The only luck was that SC entered just in time for Norris to take the lead after pitting. But in the remaining part of the race Norris drove really great. After being on podium 15 times finally Norris also managed to win a race. By the way Verstappen made a mistake at a turn and the bollard he smashed caused a damage on his underfloor. This also affected Verstappen's pace after it. But I'm not saying this to underestimate Norris' victory of course. |

Rade Krunic'in performansı beklentilerin altında kaldı. Daha iyi bir performans gösterseydi şampiyonluk yarışında daha iddialı bir takım olmayı başarabilirdik. Hatalı bir transfer olduğunu kabul etmek gerekiyor. İsmail Yüksek için kulübe gelen ciddi tekliflerin olduğu biliniyor. Önümüzdeki sezon için transfer çalışmalarına şimdiden başlamak gerekiyor orta saha için. Fred'in yanında en az Fred kadar iyi oynayabilecek bir orta saha transferi yapmak zorunda Fenerbahçe.
Galatasaray'ın da transfer gündemindeki Wilfred Ndidi haberlerini okudum bugün gazetede. Leicester City ile olan sözleşmesi sezon sonunda sona erecek. Fred - Wilfred ikilisi iyi olur Fenerbahçe orta sahası için.
Krunic bu kadar kötü oynamasına rağmen İsmail Kartal ona inatla şans vermeye devam etti ve sonuçlarını gördük. Kesinlikle kötü sonuçlanan bir transfer oldu ve bence de yerini daha iyi bir oyuncuyla doldurmaları lazım. İsmail Yüksek de giderse zaten bu mevkiye takviye daha acil hale gelecek. Fred ile birlikte düzenli olarak sağlam ikili oluşturabilecek birisini bulurlarsa orta sahamız çok daha güçlü olur. Bu sene şampiyonluğu ellerimizle verdik ve İsmail Kartal ile de yollar ayrılacak mı merakla bekliyorum. |

LTU_btc, Congratulations on your yellow cap mate. I really messed up this week.  I was expecting Norris to be on podium and put him to the 3rd position. To be honest I never expected him to win the race. That SC really changed everything. Norris showed his best performance to get his first win in his career. Anyways it is still nice to be in top 10 but I need to play bigger for winning yellow caps. This is the only way to get closer to top positions in the leaderboard. Now we have a one-week break before Emilia-Romagna. |

Poor Manchester United... Crystal Palace destroyed them by 4-0. This is really a terrible season for the Red Devils. People tend to blame it on Erik ten Hag but I don't know. I don't think it is that simple to be honest. You can't expect him to do great things with the squad he has now. There have been big problems in defense this season. If they make the needed transfers this summer I think people will see that Erik ten Hag isn't the main problem. |

Geçenlerde bir maça rastlamıştım. TFF 2. Lig'de oynanan Ankaraspor - Nazilli Belediyespor maçında 1 tane bile şut atılmamış. Bir pozisyonda da hatta Nazilli Belediyespor'un hücum oyuncusu gole gider gibi olunca Ankaraspor'un bir defans oyuncusu ona kızmış. Bu beraberlik hem Ankaraspor'un playofflara kalmasını hem de Nazilli Belediyespor'un kümede kalmasını sağlamış. Şike şüphesinin yüksek olduğu bir maçmış ama herhangi bir şey çıkar mı bundan artık bilmiyorum. Bu da bahsettiğim gol pozisyonunun anı: https://www.youtube.com/live/ws-67NdlIPQ?si=PTwt4BoKaOEj3N53&t=6017 |

 Real Madrid bugün resmen şampiyonluğunu ilan etti. Cadiz'i 3-0 mağlup ettikten sonra Girona'nın Barcelona'ya puan kaybettirmesi gerekiyordu. Girona bugün Barcelona'yı bir kez daha 4-2 mağlup ederek Real Madrid'in de şampiyonluğunu resmileştirmesini sağladı. Barcelona bugün kaybetmez diye düşünüyordum 2-1'den maçı verdiler. Bu arada Girona da 2. sırayı ele geçirmiş oldu ve bence sezonu bu noktada bitirme olasılıkları yüksek. |

Same here man, same here. It's just really the universe telling me that I don't know football anymore (or I never really did).
You can watch a team, follow them a bit, measure expectations on form, determination, talent, and bookmaker odds -- and then it all goes out the window anyway.
They have nothing to fear in Premier League. They're good enough to lose 2 games and still get Champions League, so I don't understand if that's a distraction. Here and now you can win a trophy.
You know how I feel too about Liverpool. Losing to United who will of course get thrashed by City in FA Cup. And losing to Atalanta who will of course get trashed by Leverkusen. We could have had two amazing finals, but we lost to teams who were, frankly, there to be taken.
In this kind of situations we really have nothing to do. Football is really full of surprises and this surprise was a big one as well. Aston Villa have been nearly everyone's favourite to win the Conference League trophy but now they are on the verge of elimination in the semi finals already. I agree with you about Liverpool too. Everything became upside down for them in such a short time period. I assume we need to get used to this lol. |

Sprint race has also been left behind. It looks like there was a chaotic start at the beginning. The podium didn't change. Ricciardo did a really wonderful job by maintaining his position during the sprint race. He did a quite good job with keeping Sainz behind for so many laps. However it looks like Ricciardo has a 3-place grid penalty left from the Chinese Grand Prix to be applied in the race tomorrow.  Guys don't forget to make your predictions before qualifying session. By the way in the last season we had to make them before sprint races on sprint weeks. But it looks like this has changed on Superbru this season. |

Yarı final ilk maçları sona erdi. Leverkusen daha deplasmanda 2-0 kazanarak Roma'yı saf dışı bıraktı. Rövanş maçında Roma'nın geri dönüş yapma ihtimali bana göre çok düşük. Xabi Alonso ile Leverkusen bu kupayı da alacak gibi gözüküyor. Diğer eşleşmede de Marsilya ile Atalanta 1-1 berabere kaldılar. Atalanta Liverpool'u sağlam bir şekilde geçtikten sonra beklentileri yükseltti. Turu geçseler bile Leverkusen'e karşı şu ana kadar çekmedikleri sıkıntıları çekebilirler.

Another series reached Game 5 Tonight we saw another great playoff game. It was very low scoring game, but that's true beauty of playoffs. Such defensive game is something what Fenerbahche preferred, but Monaco won even without playing their typical basketball. Sad that such great game was ruined by accident in the end. Fenerbahche fans attacked Monaco players. It wasn't shown on TV what exactly happened, but it looks that Monaco players aren't saint too as they allegedly provoked fans. https://twitter.com/BasketNews_com/status/1786482732433920144This is unacceptable behavior by that Monaco player. If he didn't provoke the fans there wouldn't be any problem at the end of the match. When it comes to the match I wasn't expecting us to play this defensive. While we had the court advantage in our hands we should have taken advantage of it with a dominant game. Guduric's 3-pointer in the last moments revived our hopes. But we couldn't prevent the last 2 points by Monaco. We should have been able to go for a foul there. |

For me in the actual F1 is 80% car and 20% driver, but some romantic people still believe in some magic world where the equation is more like this 50% car and 50% driver, but its really not like that in today F1 more if we think about how good are the drivers today, all the guys even the one which us called worst are really good.
Having a powerful car is the most important factor surely. For example Verstappen is speculated with Mercedes these days. He is currently one of the best drivers on the grid. But if he drives for this problematic Mercedes even his talent wouldn't be enough to play for championships. This is why I think he would think thoroughly before accepting such offer. Practice 1 passed and all the teams are preparing for the sprint qualy.
Very good practice for neutrals, i see so many drivers between 0.275 seconds gap between the first and the six driver and for various teams, i dont know how real is this but lets see and hope to be real.
But we can expect good qualy for sprints because the teams doesnt have so much data to put the correct set up in the cars.
I couldn't watch the session but I got bad news of Leclerc on the social media. It looks like he had a spin and there was a red flag after. However he looks fast in the sprint qualifying right now. |

Ben de Age of Empires serisini bayılarak oynayan birisi olarak Manor Lords duyurulunca bir merak ettim. Geçenlerde yayınlarda oynayan bazı insanlardan biraz inceleme fırsatı buldum ve gayet potansiyelli bir oyuna benziyor. Henüz erken erişim olduğu için fazlasıyla özellik oyunda ne yazık ki kapalı. Bu da erken erişim versiyonunda bir yerden sonra oyunun tıkanmasına yol açacaktır. Tam sürüm çıktığında çok satabilecek bir oyun ama bana göre. Bu arada oyun Greg "Slavic Magic" Styczeń adlı geliştirici tarafından geliştiriliyor. Tek kişinin üzerinde çalıştığı bir işe göre baya iyi görünüyor. 7 yıldır üzerinde çalışıyormuş. |

Jackson reminded us of one thing today that he can score goals. Joking aside, he is a really useless striker this season and Chelsea deserves a better one than him. If only Nkunku wasn't injured. Then Chelsea wouldn't have been this desperate. I mean Jackson actually finds a lot of chances but his main problem is with finishing. Anyways I hope Chelsea finish the season above Newcastle at least which would be helpful for a side bet of mine. |

Missed this my man, and I was hoping for the same. I always feel like it's idiotic for teams like that to progress, since they ruin the games and won't make it to the final anyway. Emery will still be disbelieving his luck he landed the easier team in the semis. I really think it's written in the stars for Villa so it's theirs to lose, you're right.
P.S. I did see the match vs Chelsea and they did eventually drop points but that's to Chelski! No one left in Conference is half as talented.
Aston Villa - Olympiacos match is not even close to my expectation now. I don't know how but Aston Villa got 2 times behind and it is 2-3. Do these players have their minds busy with thw Premier League or what? They weren't looking like this in the previous rounds. Olympiacos were the last team to make difficulties for them technically. If Olympiacos somehow reach the final I will be sadder for wasting a big chance. Maybe we could have been the one to do this. Edit: It is 2-4 now. |

Kinda sounds like Palermo breaking the bank to get Mbappe. Huge money, but can they offer a sports motive as well?
I mean, Verstappen is a great driver - probably the best one on the grid. But switch places between him and Russell (who I really like as a driver) and I think the standings won't be much different.
Sure, difference between Perez and Verstappen clearly shows that the car is not all that matters - but it's 90% of the puzzle. Going all in on a driver while your car is sub-par doesn't seem like the smartest idea.
If Mercedes are planning to sign Verstappen for the 2026 season then I would say maybe they have something they rely on. As far as I have heard they currently have the best engine data after big changes are made as of that season. But if they are planning to bring him next season then Verstappen might have to be patient for at least one season to race for the title. By the way Red Bull are really likely to lose power by really important members' departures. Newey is also leaving by the end of this season (probably he will join Ferrari after that). |
