I keep saying the same thing, the whole Mbappe to Real Madrid thing is not certain at all, and will not be certain. I get that most people expect that but Real Madrid can't afford to pay him anywhere near what he is getting paid right now. Considering Mbappe is known as a player who loves money, I do not think that they can have an agreement. Real will offer him something low, he will want something more, and they will try to find the middle and looks like it is going to be a tough situation.


I remember Mbappe once heard him say that Real Madrid was his favorite club. I think that will be one of the factors that makes him able to play at Madrid. Of course Mbappe likes money. But it seemed like he wasn't just thinking about money. He should be able to go to the Arab League if he wants more money. I don't know why there isn't a single news linking it to the Arab League. And I just heard an issue circulating on social media which stated that Mbappe had agreed to a contract with Real Madrid.

Yes, Bayern Munich has prepared to hire a new coach for the next season. Some media have posted the news that Bayern Munich will fire Tuchel after the season ends. They think Tuchel has failed to improve the performance of Bayern Munich this season. I think it is too early to announce it, let Tuchel to finish his job first.

The club board has confirmed to fire Tuchel and I think the rumors are true. But it would be a shame if Tuchel was told he was fired even though Munich still has an important match in the Champions League. I doubt the truth of the news. I think it looks like the club board is planning to fire Tuchel if he can't produce good results in the Champions League. It is impossible for Munich to chase the Bundesliga title because of their poor performance. So I think the club board has given Tuchel the task of being able to produce good results in the Champions League. And if he doesn't succeed then he will be fired.

It's time for Round of 16! Are you excited?

Which team is your favorite?


Pic credit: Fabrizio Romano

As expected. The only team that failed to progress to the next round after winning the first leg was Galatasaray. They managed to win 3-2 in the first leg but then they lost 1-4 in the second leg. The team that gets a draw passes according to my prediction. And the team that wins the first leg successfully advances to the next round.

My favorite teams are Liverpool and Leverkusen. Both are in the seeded teams. The non-seeded team that is my favorite is AC Milan. Interesting to look forward to the next matches.

Is it really due to having the EFL Cup finale at the weekend? Because I saw it like he had a thigh injury that was why he couldn't play on a source. I hope he isn't injured once again. This would be devastating for the fans and people who don't want Manchester City to become PL champions once again.   Undecided  I hope you are right and Klopp just wanted not to risk him before the finale.

I really don't understand some websites. Sometimes they write like a player is injured and won't play. But on matchday we see that player in the starting eleven or on the bench... They should be more careful with sharing news.

It would be very bad if Salah got injured again when the team was in a position like this. Liverpool must win all their matches if they want to become premier league champions. They are hunting for the title with City. We know City is a very dangerous rival and they will try to displace Liverpool from the top of the standings. But as you said, sometimes the media writes that players are injured but actually it's just a minor injury. I'm not interested in the EFL Cup but I hope Salah can play in all the remaining games in the Premier League.

From Barcelona's perspective, they will definitely try to play better because they are playing in their own stadium. Their strength level is quite strong but the problem is that their they is often unstable this season so this needs to be fixed when they face Napoli in the second leg. Even though Barcelona are very favorites for the second leg, their chances are still the same because the result of the first leg is a draw and it is only an advantage for Barcelona because they are playing at home.

That is Barcelona's problem at the moment. They have played inconsistently this season and we can also see several times they lost games they should have won. This is an opportunity for Napoli to provide a surprise in the second leg. But if Barcelona is able to perform as they should play then I think it will be very difficult for Napoli to beat Barcelona. They have everything to win. Moreover, playing as the host will certainly increase their motivation. I bet on Barcelona winning in the second leg.

I also think so, Osimhen is the best candidate to replace Mbappe, considering his track record in Serie A at Napoli club. If in the end PSG can make a more attractive offer to Osimhen, then it is very likely that he will join to PSG. Especially, if PSG can also provide huge salaries. But on the other side, Chelsea is also a rich club, and I don't think they want to lose the best time to get his signature.

PSG is a very rich team and they are targeting Osimhen because Mbappe wants to leave the team. Of course they will offer a contract with a large salary for Osimhen. But the problem is that Ligue 1 is like a farmers' league where PSG really dominates and it is easy for anyone who plays for PSG to win the title again.

If Osimhen wants to pursue a career and improve the quality of his game, I think EPL is a suitable choice rather than the French league. He will have more exposure in England and if he is able to compete with Haaland and Salah then of course Osimhen's market value will increase drastically. And if he plays in the English league, I'm sure people will always watch him play rather than play for PSG.

The movement of Robert Lewandowski outta the club really affected him and the squad since Robert Lewandowski was one of the major sources of the goals scored by Bayern Munich. They failed to sign up a replacement and it affected them hugely.  They should have done better to get a back up but they couldn't and it did affected the plans of Julian Nagelsmann.

The club board's decision to recruit Harry Kane was actually to replace the position left by Lewandowski. I think it was a very correct decision. Lewi and Kane are both pure strikers and they are both great finishers too. For me, Benzema, Lewi and Kane are the greatest pure strikers of their generation. So actually Munich has got a replacement for Levi. What causes them to perform poorly in the league in my opinion is because Tuchel doesn't have enough tactics and I see several teams using the same tactics to make things difficult for Munich. I don't know if this is true but what I saw was like that.

The journey to become europa league champion is still far away. who knows there are surprise matches because it could be that strong teams like liverpool leverkusen or milan lost to the middle of nowhere and unpopular teams.
But if we talk about the biggest opportunity, it's still Livepool and Leverkusen.

I agree with you. I think everyone will bet on Liverpool or Leverkusen to win the european league this season. Both teams are the current leaders in their leagues and they have also had very good performances this season. As Roma and Ac Milan are also favorite teams but they are placed in second place. I see that there is a big difference in level and strength between Liverpool/Leverkusen and the other contestants this season. They are already at Champions League level. And that's true if you look at their position in the current standings.

~snip~But in my opinion Manchester United inconsistency is none other than because many of their players have experienced a setback in their performance this season. In terms of defense, they are experiencing big problems which may have to be fixed at the end of this season and also for the front line, of course Manchester United needs quality stickers when it comes to scoring goals. For this season I think Manchester United's target is only to return to the top 4 rankings.

If you look at the current standings where Aston Villa is with 49 points and Manchester United with 44 points, I think it is not impossible to achieve if United is able to play consistently in every match. I agree with you that it is a reasonable target. But I also see United's problem is that they don't have a great finisher who is able to convert every opportunity into a goal. They also lacked in defense and we can see how United were beaten because they had a weak defense. I think these two sectors need to be improved in the next season.

We can call it an unlucky day for Arsenal after several attempts ended in vain, but even if Porto win today they are not safe yet because Arsenal can turn things around in the next match we also know Arsenal can beat anyone who comes to their home base. Napoli and Barcelona only played a draw even though Barcelona dominated, they couldn't win it. The results of today's match are almost the same as yesterday's match and each team still has a chance in the second leg match.

It was a very painful defeat for Arsenal. They controlled the game but Porto had an excellent defense. Arsenal didn't even have a shot on target. But the match was a painful defeat for Arsenal because Porto was able to score a goal in the 94th minute. I think the match will end in a draw.

But this result still doesn't put Porto in a safe zone because Arsenal is a strong team and a 1 goal lead will only make a small difference. Arsenal will host the second leg so I think Arsenal still has a chance to turn things around.

I see no interesting competition in the fight for the Ligue 1 title because PSG is already far ahead of the closest team. For this reason, Ligue 1 will probably have strong competition between the second ranked team and the teams below them because the points are quite close to each other, so to secure a place in the top four, they definitely need to be consistent in their performance. I believe Lens will be able to return to the top 4 rankings because they still have many matches to improve their performance.

I agree with you. PSG has really dominated the league and no other team can catch them this season. An exciting match to watch is the competition for second and third place, which is a requirement to qualify for the Champions League. I think the teams ranked second to sixth still have a chance to take second and third place. They don't have a big enough point difference to make their match very interesting to watch.

Leverkusen keeps maintain a reputable record which has long not been seen in the German bundesliga, if Leverkusen by the end of the season is able to win the German bundesliga trophy unbeaten, it's going to be in the records how they have been an able to set such record, Interestingly would be if they still go ahead to win the Europa and DPF polk unbeaten too it will be a trio with an unbeaten record which I doubt if it has ever happened across Europe, but then Leverkusen still have the opportunity to make it happen and Xabi will be recognized as a pace setter with such a record.

It was a fantastic record but I thought it would be very impossible. Winning the treble without losing is a miracle that has never happened in all of Europe!. I see this realistically. Leverkusen could probably win the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal with an unbeaten record. But for the European league I think it is difficult because there are strong teams like Liverpool and AC Milan which will make this a little impossible to happen.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 21, 2024, 03:00:42 PM

Yes, it is very likely that Milan will play a defensive strategy because they have won the match in the first leg with a fairly large score and I don't think Milan will do as many attacks as in the first leg because their victory in the first leg has locked them in winning and qualifying for the next round. I don't think Rennes will be able to score more than 1 goal against Milan in that match and the match could end in a 1:1 draw.

I a gree with you. I wouldn't bet on Ac Milan to winning that match. Having a 3-0 lead will certainly make Ac Milan rotate their players in the second leg. I think Ac Milan will not field several core players and will replace them with young players or reserve players. They will try to rest some players for the next match. Or they will still field core players but they will not play aggressively and set defensive tactics. I think Italy is the best for this strategy.

What do you think? Would Liverpool give another opportunity to Manchester City in the remaining weeks? At least until facing Manchester City I believe Liverpool won't lose points against either Luton or Nottingham.

As Salah has also returned hopefully Liverpool can defeat Manchester City at Anfield to gain a huge advantage for the championship.  Roll Eyes

This is a very profitable result for Liverpool. They are still 1 point ahead after a few weeks before everyone thought City would be able to overtake Liverpool because they had 2 games left. But the surprising result that happened to City made the situation change and Liverpool still leads the standings.

If you look at City's match, Liverpool should also be wary of surprises from mediocre teams. Nobody thinks City will draw against Chelsea. So Liverpool also have to remain alert and show their best game.

I am aware that Atletico Madrid's second leg match will take place at home, which will give the team confidence that they can win. Home games typically benefit the team playing at home, but sometimes a poor performance hurts a team playing at home. The second leg of the match will be challenging, but regardless of the outcome, it will be extremely difficult for Atletico Madrid to win, even if they do manage to score even one goal.

I a gree with you. In the first leg we could see Inter Milan playing cleverly and they were able to defend very well. Statistics show that Atletico Madrid did not even fire a single shot on target. This proves that Inter Milan is able to defend very well and solidly. This will certainly be a big challenge for a team that plays aggressively like Atletico Madrid. But Inter Milan could also play aggressively so they were able to score 1 goal in that match.

I think the second leg will see Inter qualify for the next round. I think the match in the second leg will end in a draw because Inter also has a very solid defense.

I think we need to solve the members' problems here. In my opinion, the member referred to here is Member Rank, with a minimum of 60 activities and 10 merits earned. This means that Newbies and Junior Members are excluded from the eligibility criteria.

In my opinion, this will be quite fair because the member rank requirement will minimize the occurrence of multiple accounts because to reach rank a member you must get 10 merits from other members.

* For the newbie it's required that the newbie has to wager at least $1000 and I am not a newbie. The instructions are quite clear. This is just a competition I wonder why you taking this too personal.

Honestly, they should take advantage of this as much as they can because next year they will not have Mbappe. I am sure that they can get a lot more players later on when the salary cap from Mbappe is wide open, which means that they could get someone great or a multiple great guys but still they would be closer. I think other teams may have  slight chance next year, depends on the players they will get of course, if they get amazing players then maybe it won't be really needed anymore.


If you pay attention to the player spending table above, you can see that only Monaco, a team from Ligue 1 apart from PSG, is included in the top 20 list. This proves that PSG has everything to monopolize the League. They have money and can take any player by offering a very large contract. This will certainly make it difficult for other teams to find the players they need to beat PSG. If Mbappe officially leaves next season I think other teams still have no chance of beating PSG's dominance in the league. Unless other players can find talented players like hidden gems.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 20, 2024, 05:47:18 AM

  They've got upcoming fixtures against tougher teams and if they couldn't win the easy games I wonder how they'll survive those 3 especially the league match against Leipzig and the UCL game with Lazio. Left for me, i don't see Bayern lifting this season's trophy, they might have been lucky last season but there's no hope for them lately and I give credit to Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso for mounting pressure on Tuchel which caused a decline in Bayern's form.

Munich has lost to Frankfurt and Bochum. I think other teams in the Bundesliga will try to copy the tactics these two teams used to beat Munich. This will be a challenge for Tuchel to rotate players and change the team's playing tactics if he no longer wants to lose. The next matches are against Leipzig and Freiburg. Both teams have a chance to beat Munich if Munich is still in this bad form.
80  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 20, 2024, 05:29:30 AM

Milan may actually end up losing, not because they are worse, but because it's obvious that they will play defensive, and not attack too much, they got an easy win anyway, so no need to attack and score, hence why defensive strategy will be the way to go, even if they lose 1-0 or 2-0 then they still go up.

Even though Milan is stronger than Rennes, I will bet on Rennes winning in the second leg. As you said with a 3-0 lead I think Milan will try to rotate their players and rest some of their core players. This is done to provide experience to substitute players and to maintain player fitness. So Milan will play defensively in the second leg. They have no problem if they lose 0-1 or 0-2. Because in my opinion it is impossible for Rennes to score more than 2 goals against Milan who use defensive tactics.
