Based on their past record shows that Liverpool have the strength to go far in next season, because their coach is very ready to bring someone that can work with Salah to ensure they lift UEFA champions league title next season. Since Liverpool still have a solid defense in this season, I think there is hope for them to display more than Manchester city next season, if the players can play in unity which is the major pillars that make every team solid through out in any competition. I believe, Sevilla coach will definitely sign in some potential players next season because they experienced some challenges from the midfield and defense, but their strikers really performed well in some matches that made many people to believed that they can do better in next season.

^  Yeah I was so drunk just laughing, throwing popcorn and posting on here with all caps.    And yes, there was the one that hit the bar too.  I think it's fair to say that City was lucky in that match but I think it's also fair to say that a little luck going a club's way is really needed to win a one match KO game.  

All in all there was a guy who said he wanted to see pens.  I think that would've been an epic ending too.

So...  Is Guardiola still City's manager next season?  Does anybody else think they could win another UCL title back to back?  :/

The classic routine of matches where such young talents are defeated against Djokovic is repeated. The opponent starts the game well, breaks the serve and sometimes takes one or even two sets. Then djokovic usually wins a prolonged game or tie break is made. Djokovic wins, then there is a break, it is theoretically clear that djokovic will win the match. All that remains is for djokovic to put it into practice. Meanwhile, his opponent sometimes produces quality winners, gets very good points and all, but he also understands that the match is now over. That's exactly what ruud plays, the match was over with the first set. This man is 36 years old. 36. No, 20-year-olds can't stand against him. The 36-year-old is running the 23rd slam, it really seem mind-blowing. And as you have mentioned it could have been 25.

Maximiliano Allegri is currently one the best managers of Italian extraction and it is believed that the finest football managers in the world do come from Italy.
Saudi Arabia's quest to make their league one of the best in the world is not a joke and they're currently doing anything do make that dream come through. After getting the services of European known best players, they're also trying to sign managers that'll bring the tactical experience of European football to their league and thereby improving their quality of football. It's still unofficial if Allegri will join the Saudi League but some officials are trying to make it happen.

I feel like football is the only hope to get featured regularly on FBC. And even then, only if it's a big match.

Make your requests early. If you don't see the option as soon as it's available on other sites, then it's time to request it.

Probably not many enthusiasts here too as you say. FBC doesn't seem to have a big sports fan base compared to even price betting.

The regulation is really something that will become more and more strict the upcoming years. In Belgium a lot of soccer teams are sponsored by (fiat) casinos and in a couple of years that will be forbidden. No idea how the clubs will solve that as these sponsors bring in a lot of money…

You don't think we can see both team scoring tomorrow?
Maybe with result 3-1 or 2-1, Inter have Martinez, Dzeko and Lukaku can always wake up and score.
I know you dont like Man City but I think Inter will need a miracle to win Champions league this time.

the right person to replace Benzema I think is Kane. how he plays up front will suit Madrid. but it all depends on how Madrid tries to get it. because it's a problem for Madrid to get Kane rumored to be expensive.
Madrid's current rival is Man United a strong competitor for Kane. but rather than spending money on Havertz, I think Kane with more money would still be good for Madrid.

And you think a mistake from the management is an excuse in law? We should stop giving excuses for Juventus for their misdeed. This is the club that has lasted several decades, so you are telling me that suddenly the management made a mistake? A mistake that other clubs did not make? Common!!!

Juventus deserved what it got and will be a lesson for them and others that wanted to copy. However, there is no way the first 15 points deduction would not affect the whole club psychologically, I noticed the effect but they later started playing better again until the final 10 point deduction. This explains why they were able to finish the season in 7th place, they later buckled up. If not, they should be far lower than that.

At the very least, the bundesliga was more entertaining and tense than in past events. Before the league ended, the Bavarians were crowned champions a long time ago, but this season is different; the final game determined the winner, and it was one of the most tense football campaigns I've seen in a long time. Borrusia Dortmund pulled a large competitive race for the bundesliga crown this season, Bayern Munich never relents as they push harder in dealing with their opponents, and Dortmund is no exception. I expects more important fights for the title next season.

No one gets suspended for posting anything on social media. Indian players do not handle their own social media. There is always a PR team that works on it. For him GT would provide that PR team. If you want to blame someone then blame GT. The rivalry that was created between Kohli and Navin was all part of PR. It's unfortunate that a political issue was posted from a IPL players Instagram handle. The first principal of a player is to be always remain away from politics. The reason behind cricket fans only have one religion and that is cricket.

Afghan batting has shown no improvement over the years. Mohammad Shahzad was there a few years ago, but he was very volatile. Now they have young players like Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz who are very inconsistent, and players like Mohammad Nabi who are out of form. And that is the reason why they are losing so many matches despite having some of the best spin bowlers in the world. I don't know much about the domestic cricket system in Afghanistan. Low quality domestic cricket maybe one of the reasons behind this.

There have been rumours linking Hamilton with Ferrari for next season. They don't look like they will go away easily either. I didn't take it seriously first but now I'm wondering if this might really happen. Ferrari technically have a more powerful car than Mercedes now. But the mistakes with the strategies are just killing the races of their drivers.

Mercedes have started to make some good improvement as well though. They had 2 drivers on podium in Spain. But I don't know if Mercedes have a brighter future than Ferrari now. Honestly as long as Ferrari keep the people in the team who play a big role in these mistakes, there is no meaning in Hamilton's joining Ferrari.

Indeed, with a change of coach, like it or not, they have to start adapting to the new coach, including the players that Todd recently brought in. New players enter the team, they must adapt so that cohesiveness can be realized. This condition is not a problem for the Blues because Pochettino has time to make improvements to prepare for next season. Chelsea can't get anything while the Premier League is running, I see one of the factors is that Todd bought too many players in the middle of the ongoing season, without him knowing that they needed time to adapt to the team. Todd overspends and gets nothing.

West Ham are heading on a path of being Champions tonight and it would be one of David Moyes greatest achievement that's if they get a win in tonight's encounter. The Hammers have struggled to be in this place and losing tonight's game is not an option, they have to put their all in this finals.
West Ham are one of the teams that are not doing well in the league but smashes teams that comes their way in the conference league and I feel they're the favorite in winning the title but Moyes shouldn't let his boys to underrate the Italian team, talking about the Fiorentina. As it is, we have two Seria A teams that are playing European finals, Inter for UCL and Fiorentina who are going to clash heads with West Ham in conference league, same with the two EPL teams too, CITY AND WEST HAM.
Will it be that both trophies are going to Italy or England?

Well.. I don't agree with that. If there is free market, then the tier-2 player salaries are going to increase more than the top players. As of now, not enough purse is left after the franchises purchase their top players. This will change if the free market strategy is followed. Anyway, this will not happen until there is a major revamp of the Indian Premier League, which I am not expecting for the next 10-15 years. The current purse seems too low to compensate all the players adequately. Only around 10% to 15% of the IPL salaries are currently being spent on player salaries, which is very low when compared to other leagues. The media rights revenues have gone up steeply over the years. But player salaries have not witnessed any such raise.

In the final of IPL the match was shown at the Gujarat ground. But CSK's fan followers were more than Gujarat Titans in the gallery. The reason that comes first is the audience's love for Dhoni. Due to his popularity, the number of supporters in the whole team is increased significantly. If next year is Dhoni's last IPL, then every match of CSK will attract the attention of the viewers and audience. Cricket lovers will want to remember the last few days of the much-loved player's cricket for the rest of their lives. Dhoni is an example of how a captain's skill and experience can lead a team to get desire position even though CSK is a weaker team than Gujarat.

If they move all the superstars from La League, Premier League, Serie A, League 1 and Bundesliga, then they'll be able to really build the best football league in the world but at the moment I can't think about what ROI they expect from such a big investment. They are offering massively amazing money to pro players, that can be a huge gap in budget, can't be?
They have to keep in mind their population, their love and tradition towards football. Do they plan to make every match rely on people who fly from homeland to Saudi Arabia? Will they be able to fill spaces by doing so? I don't know, sounds interesting, this is a serious investment and probably they have already thought a lot about that.

10 years of drought and here comes another ICC tournament. 

Some reports are coming out and from the pitch's pictures, it does look like a seam-friendly wicket but it would depend on overcast conditions too. If the weather is clear then it should balance out and for India, team balance would depend on it. Aussie's attack seems alright even with Hazelwood.
