Well Darmstadt is a team that is exciting many Germans and in particular many people who are not from Germany but who love football, as far as I'm concerned I think that Hamburguer SV is doing a good job too, but I don't know They can neglect, there are many teams that are eager to qualify and this is something that fills each of the players with a lot of hope, of course every dream of a player cannot be measured with a scale, but the fact of wanting Going to the Bundesliga is something that any player is excited about, the 2nd Bundesliga will always be exciting, but there will be teams that can complicate any classification, and it is a matter of seeing how everything continues to develop.

I think the idea of Oscars is something that is getting a bit of attention these days, and that’s the part that I am most interested in. There are superhero movies from Disney that I love so much, and nowadays the idea of "Oscar movie" is getting more mainstream as well, getting a lot more big name people too. Back in the day Oscar was something like this, but somewhere in the middle Oscars started to mean "boring, look at the drying wall for 30 minutes, cut your wrists out of boredom" movie, from like 2000 to 2020 or so it was like that.

But, quite recently we started to see some big names, and it’s proven this year with Spielbergs "sort of biography" type of his own movie, and also brad pitt margot robbie movie babylon, all of which is a big Hollywood movies and all deserve to have an Oscar one way or another.

You are right, there are many films that are very beunas, auunque to be honest there are many of the super heroes that I do not like at all, although I am not against many things, I do not like that they show so many freedoms to children, because I consider that their formation must first be given and forge a person, and when his personality is defined that for me it is at age 18 (for some, because there are some who do not mature) can affect them in their formation, then I as a father I am Very delicate as for the children's connide is shown, maybe I am very jealous, but I really do not agree, so far the only movie that I found very good is that of Top Gun 2, I have not had much Oporrtunida To watch films in its entirety, another movie that has told me that I liked Batman.

I wouldn't advise for a brawl to breakout, but lessons learned from mistakes as this is one to either expose your friend in true light and for you to know what you can endure.
I would advice myself next time and follow my heart.

If anyone has a brawl with a friend because he lost a bet, it shows how immature he is. Friendship should not be traded for money no matter what happens. What if he had won the bet would he be quarrelling with his friend? No. The bettor should take responsibility for his loss and not put the blame on someone else. Adults take responsibility when things go bad and not trade blames.

Yes, I agree with what you say, but unfortunately the majority of people do not think that way, when it comes to money many people transform and do not recognize friendship or have any shame in doing whatever they give them their money, This is something that you should see very well when doing business with someone, especially when it is with a friend, because there is trust and you know how the person is, I would never put money first in a friendship, the person should be My same comp level so that I can fully understand the risks of a business and what it entails to be able to take them to a scenario where things go wrong and I cannot have control, that is where true friendship is seen.
6504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: November 24, 2022, 12:33:44 AM

Nevertheless, there is nothing he can do even if he lose this fight. Crawford is one of the best champion in this division and it could be a an honor for a EU champion like him to be suddenly on the biggest spotlight.


He maybe was a champion but he was not part of the top list of a champion where Spence and Crawford belong, that's why it's understandable if people will not think that he is not a good opponent as Crawford is just a celebrated champion. Well, upset is possible but I don't see one against Crawford.

He is a European Champion, not in the top 5, but definitely in the top 10 of the welterweight division.

Crawford goes on to say though that no one wanted to take a fight with him and so he goes with David here. Although we have heard that Ennis and Ortiz Jr should be recognized as his potential fight but who knows, maybe again boxing politics behind make this fight impossible.

So he chooses Avanesyan as his next opponent, for tuneup for a bigger fight for next year.

Well here is something clear, and it is that Crawford is a boxer through whom he could not find the fight against Spence, and that is something that I know frustrated him, but I thought Crawford's decision to look for the fight against David was good, he is a boxer who can be very tough and dfuicuk de gabar ty Crawford has to show that the fight against Spence is that little thorn that should be taken out, but with more previous victories, if there is not a good victory against David, it will be difficult for him to measure you with Spence, who is his main objective, for his part Spence did not stay behind, he has another fight, so things can be equalized for both, so that a good fight can take place.



In another order of ideas, with Crawford they have many opportunities to continue seeing him despite the fight he has with Avanesyan, whatever the result of the fight they want Crawford to have a very good fight, right now we have the following:

Crawford must fight Boots Ennis or Spence in 2023 or vacate WBO belt



Quote
By Chris Williams: Terence Crawford must defend his WBO welterweight title against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis or Errol Spence Jr in 2023 or vacate the belt.

Crawford, 35, is going to need some willingness to stick it out with the negotiations with Spence next year if doesn’t want to have to defend his WBO title against Boots Ennis and wind up getting knocked out by him.

There are two options available for Bud Crawford to avoid fighting Boots in 2023, and that’s as follows:

1. Fight Errol Spence

2. Vacate the WBO belt

Given the lack of patience Crawford showed during his previous negotiations with Spence, it’s unlikely he’ll stay with the talks until a fight is produced with the popular pay-per-view star.

At this point, it’s unclear whether Spence and his management at PBC will even bother trying to set up another fight with Crawford.

Source: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/11/crawford-must-fight-boots-ennis-or-spence-in-2023-or-vacate-wbo-belt/

However, there is still some time to see the fight and make good speculations, although the truth is that many have enough hope that Crawford will be the winner.
6505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 24, 2022, 12:06:11 AM
I don't know about you, but this fight has had a different tint again, I know that many were 100% with Inoue, but I have read in some other forums that they are only about boxing that they have a lot of hope about Butler, I don't know, it is speculated that it is because of the type of preparation and training that he has taken and this has made people begin to consider their bets, this is something that does not seem bad to me, because I know that despite all this speculation the numbers will be very favor of Inoue, and looking at it from a technical point of view, Inoue is very good, but the surprise factor is that which sometimes surprises us and since there is so much money involved, things can change.

6506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 23, 2022, 08:25:39 PM
Well I think this fight is going to raise a lot of spirits and it is likely that a lot of action can be seen, I don't think it will be a fight where both take care of each other, I think it will have much more action, I don't know at this moment who to decide to make a bet, because Spence is a boxer with a very good technique, and I wanted to see the fight between him and Crawford, but unfortunately it will not happen, but I see that both boxers have squared their fights very well and this is something that is very good, for me this has many things in common, I think that both Crawgford and Spence, if they come out winners, should make that excellent fight that we all want, it remains to be seen how all this continues to develop.
Ok just to make it formal:

Quote

"On November 14, 2022, TGB Promotions applied for special permission on behalf of Spence to fight Thurman in February 2023, but with specific mandatory conditions. Pursuant to WBA rule C.16, which states that mandatory defense periods can be modified for cause, either by special permission request or on its own initiative, the WBA decided that Spence can face Thurman," the WBA stated.

https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-vs-keith-thurman-title-fight-approved-by-wba--170619

So this fight has been sanctioned by the WBA already, one of Spence belt, and now that we have 2 bodies already, WBC + WBA and perhaps the IBF will follow suit with the mandatory fight order as well.

And to add to this, WBA also ordered WBA "regular" welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis to make a mandatory defense against Vergil Ortiz.

And then the winner facing the winner of Spence vs Thurman to have one single champion.



This makes things more interesting because Spence is now more oblige to fight Thurman, he obviously cannot make some priorities on that revenge that he might be wanted because that will be an expensive mistake that will cost him 2 belts and there's a high chance that the IBF will follow as well, if that happens, all 3 belts is now on the line. Keith will surely be excited because things are getting into his favor, now the only thing he needed to do is to defeat Spence.

Well I think this is as I say, first you must prioritize everything that has to do with the commitments acquired, if there is something that I have learned as a athlete is that one must be made first with your fight, the one that has the closest, time Then all the occupies that are, there is no other, if they get to see and bsucar more things to complicate the fight is something that is not very well seen, as a good sponsor should know that, I know that now Spence is in a very Good level and that things can be given quickly, after the failed attempt Pro crawdord is something that has to be taken into consideration, Spence is a difficult boxer.

6507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: November 23, 2022, 08:00:28 PM
Well here is something to rescue, and it is that Manny Pacquiao is a very good boxer and this fight is clearly an exhibition fight, obviously it is fixed, I am not one of those who like to watch exhibition fights, but Pacquiao will be there, and that changes everything , when there are exhibition fights I don't even see them, it would be practically the first time that I go to see a fight like that, because I always like the real thing, when there is rivalry and they fight for a title or for the defense of a title, that is what moves us all and that good bets can be made, that is another thing that I like about boxing.

Also boxers who are in exhibition fights should feel calm ´because they will see it as something that will be beneficial for another person, I think this is what I like the most.

Now the great legend will give a good visit for Yorkshire, but how to see it? Here you can know:

Quote
Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao Sr, more famously known as Manny Pacquiao, is a Filipino politician and former professional boxer and is considered one of the greatest professional boxers of all time. His nickname is ‘PacMan’ and he previously served as a Senator of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022.

He is the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing and has won 12 prestigious world titles. He was also the first boxer to win the lineal championship in five different weight classes, the first to win major titles in four of the eight ‘glamour divisions’ and is the only boxer to hold championships across four decades in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.

It seems to me that they are great opportunities that are to see the great legend of boxing, a unique opportunity to continue enjoying the great Pacquiao.

All this is interesting, I have already seen several threads with this one, which turns out to be very good that it has to do with history, especially with slot machines, I did not know what it had been for the year 1871, it is a great fact, especially for those who like to emphasize history and everything that has to do with the most traditional casino games, in my case, I was not a big fan of slots, it seemed to me that one lost money very quickly and did not see it Coincidentally, then my perspective began to change from the moment I saw in the threads of stake.com and bitcasino.io when they showed the links of the winning videos of the slots, it is many dollars, millions of dollars, I think that to any motivates.
6509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: November 23, 2022, 06:10:50 PM
Here's some more information:


By looking at these details and knowing a little of these two athletes, it will be a very good fight. Akaho, may be surprising and put Casimero on guard and win some points with it. I do not believe there will be a knock out, but it will be a tuff fight.

So, my guess is it will be; either a draw or Casimero will have the best.

Majority is in favor with Casimero because he is much well know compare to Akaho but its really dangerous for him to belittle his opponent since he is inactive for so many days and this might give effect to his fighting style and Akaho will dominate him. I consider this as a good match up between them since whoever wins for sure they can bring good honors and maybe they could get more bigger fight after this match.

It's almost unlikely to happen because this fight is quite personal to Casimero as he needs to avenge his fellow countrymen who fell in the hands of Ryo Akaho and the most important is to write his name back in the industry to have a chance in fighting the guys who's a title holder.
His chances are good against Akaho, so there shouldn't be a problem and Casimero don't have any records that he underestimate his foes, he just like to play mind games to them to mess their heads.

Yes, in that sense he has a good maturity in terms of his opponents, he is not a seeker, of course I know that Akaho has hit Casimero's compatriots very hard, this time perhaps Casimero has the responsibility of being able to avenge his companions, but in such a case I see that you cannot claim victory so quickly, the only way is for Akaho to make a lot of mistakes, and both boxers are very good, of course, in my particular situation I have followed Casimero much more than Akaho, for I usually follow everything he has done and all the incidents that are generated around him, therefore when we watch boxing we are much more inclined towards what we know more about.

It's good that Casimero is just keeping his mouth shut at this fight.

Maybe he was being advised not to make too many talks and just do all the talking thru his punches in the actual fight. Akaho, on the other hand, is not giving any trash talks too and I'm sure he wasn't like that, and that may be the reason why Casimero is just silent too.

Casimero needs to do his best to win this fight. Still, a long way to go for him to be considered for a big match right now that's why every win is a must.

Not really surprised that this Ryo Akaho is also silent since their fight has been scheduled because Japanese people are known to be polite, courteous and very respectful towards other people. However, Casimero is different, this man is known to be messing with you in the head until the day of the fight. He just never stops talking about anything that sometimes he already looks like a fool, but this time is different. He is now under the radar pouring all his days in training for this fight of redemption.

This is easy to interpret, Casimero has spoken more, and only the fact of having said that after this fight he will fight against Inoue is almost like a provocation given to Akaho, you cannot say or speak more and less in boxing, things, things They are like that, it is also as you say, the Japanese are very gentlemen, they are educational people and do not walk much around what they can and cannot, this is something that in boxing takes into account.

Now, boxing in this case is a weapon with double edge edge edges for casimero, I didn't have to have spoken, I think he speaks more to get excited in the full interview, but it was a mistake, those things should not be said, if Casimero loses, the one who will look bad will be him for everything.
6510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: November 23, 2022, 05:08:26 PM
There are great problems in the Juventus team at the moment. Juventus team is failing to show a very good performance. Although the team has good talented players but they fail to show their skills. I hope Juventus will be able to perform well after the World Cup.
bad stars at UCL 22/23 juventus are indeed many young stars. juventus also has many injured players, so Juventus cannot improve their performance so that they drop down to the European league caste. But despite this, Allegri deserves to be sacked. I think that's a big problem for Juventus.
it must not be an excuses for juventus. it doesn't matter how many players got injured and the team must always did some preparation to prevent it. it's now having good performance in serie a again. The fact that if juventus would be competing to take the top 4 to be qualified for the next UCL yet it can at least go to the UCL instantly once juventus would be able to win europa league but this is not an easy task that can be done by any team.
Although juventus played at europa league and it doesn't mean if it can win against another big team like arsenal or barcelona. there are some underrated team like MU
I personally still feel that at this time Juventus will definitely pursue that position.
Regardless of anything now that his performance has started to improve, on the other hand it seems that the storm for those injured has almost been resolved, only their financial problems are still struggling and this can be a gamble, actually for Allegri this season, just like Xavi at Barcelona.

Well, I have understood something, Juve's financial problems are always on the lookout, all the players are affected, and that is something that discourages them, they have to have more motivation, the club's problems, if they are financial, should not affect the their way of playing should not affect them except that they do not pay the players, but I am sure that is not happening, in the case of Juve they can reach a good position, and it would be ideal to go away with a victory of that style, only what should be expected, for me Juve has a lot to gain, I think that they should forget all problems and focus on winning.



Well in this case the Europa League with everything that has happened in this World Cup in Qatar can not deny that there are many things that have changed, Barcelona can breathe more calmly without CR7 being in the ranks of Man United, that is Something that serves the coach a lot, even though at that time Hag has not wanted to put CR7, it was a constant threat, of course we cannot deny that now CR7 is in a state that can accept to leave for another team that is in the Europa League, you never know and thus Barcelona face them, and it is not that it is a great player who puts fear, but it is a legend, and is a player who can await the party to anyone.

Speaking of the WBC convention,

Quote
As the WBC convention continues to move forward, a slew of bouts was recently ordered. Amongst them, a WBC title eliminator between Stevenson and Isaac Cruz was officially penciled in.

https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-welcomes-isaac-cruz-title-eliminator-i-dont-duck-dodge-anybody--170355d

I think this is a great fight for Shakur if he step up to 135 lbs, Pitbull is no pushover, the pressure and the power, let's see how Shakur will cover that one. He want's to fight Devin Haney but I guess he needs to go in line. I think Loma will have the first crack, but then again the problem with Shakur vs Cruz might be their promotions and network ties. Hopefully the WBC could be their middle main so that this title eliminator will happen next year.
I'm surprised if Shakur want to move to lightweight division, after I read a news on 3 weeks ago if Shakur losses all his belts because he missed the weight against Conceicao, it's make sense. Well Isaac Cruz is a good stepping stone for Shakur before he want to fight Haney, Loma or Tank. Lightweight division is very exciting and bloody since each boxers has capabilities to beat the other boxers.

Maybe the real champion on lightweight division need to fight the top 5 boxers before he need to move to the next weight.

Well, Shakur is a boxer who is always looking for the best. Could it be that he wants to move up in category so that he can be much more famous? he wants to do the Russian Bivol thing, who doesn't want rematches with anyone right now, just win titles and get a lot of fame to make good fights and have so much fame that each fight makes them win a lot of money, that's what they really want, if they fight esclar is because apart from fame, they want money and I don't blame them, it's a very hard sport, they risk their lives in an impressive way, if they can get money from it, it's the most logical thing and it's well deserved.

In this order of ideas I base myself to think that this is possibly what the boxer Shakur wants, basically a boxer I imagine who seeks the same goals.

Damn, how long was that when it happened? It's so long, right? Are we this old already? Cheesy
We are not that old, because we can still remember it.  Cheesy
Marquez was unbelievable that time, most of the fans thinks that it will be a win for Pacquiao but that lucky punch that landed solidly
and give him the win.

I agree that it was one of the biggest upsets as this was part of that long-series rivalries between Pacquaio and the Mexican fighters,

maybe or not maybe it was the reality back then that pride is greater than money unlike now, money is more than anything.
It's true. Most of Marquez's counters are accurately done and Manny is getting frustrated because of it. I think that is one of the reasons why he came back for more punches which became one of the biggest mistakes in his career. Well, that's the after-effect of a counter strategy to make you lose your temper and throw your game out.

Pride and honor before and without a doubt even non-sports enthusiasts are going to wait for the match and get PPV.
Now, it's way different, exhibition matches left and right.
The fight between manny pacman Pacquiao vs manuell Marquez for me is one of the best fight in the history of boxing because their fight runs until  4 fight because of rematch but still that fight is not a small fight as we all know that fighters are very strong and very strategic in terms of fighting. That lucky punches by Marquez makes manny pacman down in the ring as we all know that manny controlled the fight but when he is in greediness to knock down his opponent then a lucky punch make him as sleep for a while.

Well we all know very well that Paquiao is a boxer who will always give his best and for the show too, in addition we know that Pacquiao's style is very explosive from a start and it is an honor to have him to see him box, knowing that he is a legend it is very obvious that the tendency will always be for him to win, this is something that cannot be denied, for me Pacquiao is a boxer who always determines the course of every fight, he is the one who will give a before and after, no there is another way to see it and he will win because I don't see any other way to see Pacquiao in an exhibition fight, I can't deny that I would like him to return to boxing like before.
6512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 23, 2022, 02:27:10 PM
Benzema is not an injury player, he is having this consistency problem because of world cup. It has been long he played in world cup and this might be his last. He doesn't want what happened to Mane to happen to him. After world cup Benzema will return to frequent playing of football and by then Osimen will no longer see playing time, which will be so bad for the career of the young man. He needs to go where he will play frequently.
He wanna try to give the best in the world cup but i do know what he feels about that. the same time was also happening with player from another club. He must give the best during his last performance in the world cup.
Real madrid was always facing tough game without him. The young talented player likerodrygo can't adapt with the club. Mostly goals happened from another player than striker.
that's it. Osimhen potentially to be the main striker for real madrid
Most chances Karim Benzema is going to stay here at Real Madrid until end of 2024 and with the end of this contract most chances he is going to retire from soccer because next month he is going to turn 35 and then after end of his contract he will be 37 which mean no more soccer with this all now Real Madrid having one full season and one half for having his replacement which is mostly like Jesus or Osimhen because currently these both are under Carlos Ancelotti radar with who could be lucky it's not clear.

But, good thing happening they are doing good with few youngsters as well which are right now serving with Benzema and having good start of their career even they are still in hunt and mostly likely things could be clear in coming days.

Well it's a bit sad because I know that Benzema is an iconic player and apart from that he is very humble, if we have him until 2024 at Real Madrid I would consider myself served, I know that many good and promising generations are coming, I don't know if they listened, but at It seems that Real Madrid have a lot of interest in the players who are Brazilian, perhaps because the Brazilians are people who have a very high ability for soccer, however I had heard that Anthony from Man United wanted to take him to Real Madrid, Of course, I have read these things on social networks, but it is not something confirmed, for now there must be speculation in the clubs about which players to acquire and which ones to leave, perhaps with the world performance they will decide.

I would love to watch Ronaldo at Chelsea while they are having scoring problems already. I know that he hasn't shown any impressive performance but it was due to his not getting many chances in the starting eleven. Otherwise he was pretty solid in the previous season by scoring so many goals in the Premier League.

I don't believe the Real Madrid rumours because Benzema is returning soon. As long as he doesn't get injured once again in a short time I don't expect them to sign any centre-forward in January. Maybe Ronaldo had amazing years there but we have left those days behind.
Chelsea has seemed potential for him, but I don't know how it goes, because Chelsea is not performing well like MU on the premier league. Chelsea still has problems with the coach and I guess between Ronaldo and Potter does not have compatibility with each other, Ronaldo's temperament often explodes when in changing room and fields. Potter looks worried that Ronaldo come to chelsea will affect for solidarity team and maybe won't be as substitution for sterling or others.

Which team Ronaldo will go to for the second half of the season is still a big question mark, as he might go to an easier league and leave the EPL. Ronaldo will probably be able to play competitively for only 1 season because in February he will be 38 years old and from there it will be a big benchmark that Ronaldo will seek an easier league for the good times in world football before he decides to retire. Chelsea can rely on Ronaldo in the second half of the season because Chelsea need a sharp enough competitor up front and I think Graham will make that happen. In addition, the status of a free transfer player will be able to attract many big teams to bring in Ronaldo.

I also have the same doubt, if CR7 goes to Chelsea it wouldn't be bad at all because he would have a fairly adequate participation, I think that at the moment if he goes to Chelsea it would do the team a lot of good, besides it would be very useful for him because with that he assures a team, it is strong to know that now he does not have a team, although for the economic aspect it does not affect him, but it does affect him in the fact that he needs to have activity, in any case he has not yet played an official match until tomorrow, everything is going to show and how it will unfold in Portugal, this means that the doors can be opened or closed for CR7.

Well, since the World Cup has started, I am surprised by some of the news that has been given, especially the news about France, Benzema's injury, although today they made it clear against Australia that France has a tremendous team, for now the results of Senegal, although they were not satisfactory, I think that Mane's presence is greatly lacking, it is something that is very noticeable, I cannot deny that for me, Senegal deserved to win their first game, but when you do not score goals, they score goals.

On the other hand, I think that this World Cup has had many surprises with the number of players who have been injured, I hope they recover quickly and can return to play with their national team.
Ball possession was nothing for me. Goal meant everything. I think that any team must not need to put the ball possession as something that must be done. The team needs to learn about how to win by creating so many goals and it's not about how big ball possession that already acquired. Ball possession meant nothing if you are not even making a goal while your opponent has perfect execution to make so many goals. I think that any team must think about how to win the match.
I didn't like a team that played a lot in the ball possession but it will be losing caused by it was not making any goal.

Exactly. Yesterday Argentina had the maximum ball possession, but they failed to convert that to goals. And in the end, the outcome will be decided by the number of goals scored by each teams and not by the % possession. To their credit, Saudi Arabian defense was like a iron wall. Argentines were repeatedly frustrated by the strong showing from Saudi Arabian defenders. The big lesson from yesterday's match between KSA and Argentina is not to under-estimate any of your opponents, no matter how poorly they performed in the previous editions.

At this point, possession of the ball is not that valuable, here in the World Cup, like all games, what is needed quickly is to score goals, the more goals the better, it is what guarantees everything, the possession of the ball It's important, it can't be denied, but you have to evaluate that the more you have the ball, that requires a greater expenditure of energy, and all the teams that do this type of technique know this, and if they want to do the tiki-taka more Still, so these are the consequences of playing with pure passing and having the ball, I think all these factors affected Argentina, plus Argentina is one of the greatest powers in the world of fútbol.

Once again real Madrid found troubles against a weak club, after loosing against vallecano now they strungle to get the 3 points against cadiz, it's seems that this is the worst period in real Madrid season but they still fine and I think they will back stronger after the world cup
The only thing that make real madrid having tough game against cadiz was if real madrid didn't have good striker. Benzema ddn't play against cadiz. You can't even predict that if mediocre team like cadiz sometime will have a good performance to make another team faced hard game but anyway it doesn't matter a lot as long as madrid already won the match against cadiz and securing the full points. There's nothing to be feel worried about that.
Even the fact that cadiz was still at the bottom but it has potential to beat the big team like madrid. there have been so many times big club got defeated by low tier club just like when atletico was getting lose against mallorca.this is how football competition must work

If one of the things for which Real Madrid fails is in that, when there is no key player those things can happen, what happens is that Ancelotti did not manage to see what was coming to him, there was a very strong scheme from Cadiz, and Due to the fact of seeing it as a weak team, the players fell into stress and could not control the game, this happens to all teams at some point, that is not why they are bad and that they will lose everything, the good thing is that Real Madrid gained much more experience and I am sure that they will know how to quickly get out of events like the ones that happened like this.

We'll see the improvements of Real Madrid, I don't see any other way for them to recover but by winning and winning, they have to show why they are champions, and the truth is that I think they will continue to do a better job.

Intentionally or not it was too much punishment for not being able to play in 3 matches. It seemed that referee Gil Manzano was not in the best of moods at the time.
Lewandoski explained regarding his gesture which was considered insulting to the referee, he said it was shown to the bench and not to the referee. Lewandowski will try to appeal the sentence.
Lewandowski also admits that his debut at Barcelona will not be easy and will go according to plan, but he is trying to give his team the best.
Robert Lewandowski had to go through many hurdles at Barcelona because he is a very professional player so all problems are faced calmly. An unprofessional referee will be carried away with feelings so he cannot think logically as a referee has a logical task, not using emotions.

Well, regarding Lewa's gesture, initially I see it as something very temporary and that the referee just wants to seem very important, how can he make a big demand for respect, that is something that would tarnish Lewa and enhance the reputation of a referee. , if this had happened 10-15 years ago, not much would have happened, but today things are not so easy, right now everything or anything that is said or any gesture can make many sensitivities hurt, this is something common and that in reality sometimes I don't understand, however because of the world and the way we are living it, it should be given enough importance to fix it.

In Lewa's case, yes, he would appeal, because things should be as they are, and if he appeals or contradicts that decision or motion of the referee, he is appealing for his sportsmanship and as a person he would be defending himself very well.

This Newcastle side looks like a rebranded team this season, they have indeed strengthened important positions in the team like their defense, midfield and even their attacking options. The manager also has been able to bring out the best in the available players at his disposal. They are now able to create many chances and score more goals than the previous seasons. Going against Chelsea this weekend will be interesting and we shall see how well they can play against Chelsea.
Newcastle remain one of the tough team any team wouldn't want to fave presently in the premier league, their form is outstanding and one of their key player, Almiron is crown player of the month with their coach, Eddie Howe as best coach of the month. It's easy and spectacular because they're strictly on winning streak this season, been in the top four is not an easy stuff to begin with, it shows the level of consistency in games and they're proofing themselves clear to be in the top four this season and it's really a big fight and competition for them to face any big team coming their way.

Well I can't deny that yes, Newcastle has had an incredible improvement, they have become very strong and I think it is because the whole team has understood each other and above all I don't see that there are personal problems between the players which is what often hurts to the players and they do everything wrong on the field, for me Newcastle has another face, of course for now they are like that, we still have to wait for the next transfer window, because after the World Cup I know that many PL teams They will change and move some chips, new players, and since things can be complicated or facilitated, we must wait to see how this continues, but for now I see Newcastle very well.

I think Manchester United's transfer priority in the summer should be a striker. Because they have had serious finishing problems this season so far. Rashford started the season really good actually but it didn't take him a long time to start performing poorly about scoring. Martial also can't help in such cases as he is also wasting many opportunities.

Having a solid striker might be a big relief for the team honestly. Their main problem is with finding easy goals now. This just causes them to lose points in unexpected games and have big issues with getting comfortable wins.

I think, Manchester united will get a solid striker that will be more active than cristiano Ronaldo after the holiday, because Manchester united midfield and defense are well organized in this season but their major challenge is the strikers that don't want to work together to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the match. If Manchester united coach can do everything possible to sign in Osimhen one of the Napoli striker to replace cristiano Ronaldo, I think there will be improvement after the holiday for their fans to believe that Manchester united have something good to embrace in this premier league competition.

Well clearly I am a fan of CR7, I have defended his way of acting, of playing and everything he is as a person, particularly the problem of Manchester is not in his attackers, I see that he has many and they are really good, if Manchester he wants to shine again, he must get rid of that technical director, perhaps the fans, directors of Man Unite do not see how badly Ten Hag directs them, only in his head is there the possibility of seating a star and not using it, that is something that my logic will not take as something good, because the only way to not play a star is because he is injured or I have another apparent problem.

In any case, I would like Man United to hire another striker to replace CR7, and only then will they understand that the problem is not the players.

Agree. Napoli is undefeated until now, they surely will win against Udinese and get 3 points to maintain their position in the 1st place. Moreover, it is a home match for Napoli, they have the advantage in this match. I think Napoli will win the game with 2 goals at least.
This season, can't be denied, Napoli is incredible. They are a very strong and solid team, even compared to other big clubs, they may not have as much hype as others in the beginning, in fact, until now, they can play consistently winning. This is not easy, never been beaten so far, only has drawn a match 2x, and the leasts are all victories. We are sure that many people are surprised with the performance and achievement of Napoli so far because I am sure that Napoli is not the favorite at the beginning. But right now,I really agree that Napoli deserves to be the winner, hopefully, they can be consistent and stronger again by the end of this season.

well I can't deny Napol, it has become the team that has attracted the most attention of many, I know there are things to improve, but the way it is lined up is incredible, for me they can easily be first, no I know why some teams like Juve, like Roma have not been able to have the same start, Inter seems to me to have maintained the level and like Milan AC, I think these teams are clear about what is required to go far, but looking at it from a more positive point of view I think that the fact that the most famous teams are having bad times means that the level has increased.

Italian football needs more level, more attention and I am sure it will be the most famous league, what is needed is nothing to reach that level.

true, Jose Mourinho is a great coach, he has done well with many teams (except with Inter Milan if I remember correctly, not by chance)
I think Roma can't win the Scudetto, but they will certainly go to the Champions League if they continue to play as well as they are doing
Jose Mourinho, as a coach who is quite old and has a lot of experience, should be able to be mature with Rick Karsdorp and not need to give innuendo to Rick Karsdorp, who may still have an unstable age and is easily provoked by emotions. Disappointment is certain to happen to Jose Mourinho, but there is no another option should be when he realizes the problem must immediately replace the player so that teamwork on the field is well formed again.

Well, there is no doubt about something, and if I agree that Mou is a technical director who is worth having in any team, that there is no other with more security to provide his players and that the best thing of all is that he tells the truth whoever and wherever, that is something that not everyone has. There are almost none of that type of technical director, now the technical directors, some have a lot of grudges and do not let some of their players advance, for me one of them is Ten Hag who thanks to him is that Manchester is bad, for me it is so.

When the Mou led Inter I remember that the team did not perform, but I dare to say that at that moment it was due to the players' lack of commitment, the coach cannot do much when the players do not put effort into it.

You think that Senegal have a chance to advance to the next stage even without Mane? I'm not sure... He is their key player. His injury could really be a chance for Ecuador or Qatar.
Without Mane, Senegal still have many potential player and I don't think easy for Ecuador and Qatar qualify to next round, last announced although Mane injured still have in the squad listed name to World Cup. Senegal have favorite chance lead to next round from group A, seems another national team have chance lead to next round between Qatar as host or Ecuador.


Almost all national team have announced their squad for World Cup, one week later biggest event begin and most excited watching how atmosphere at Qatar become first edition hos as World Cup. Have one match left for several player with their team and I hope not any player absent again with injury on their last match with their team.

Well, I saw all the performance of the Ecuadorian team in the qualifiers, I cannot deny that at the beginning the Ecuadror players were unstoppable, very good, but in the end they lowered the level of the games a lot, and that greatly disconcerted the that one had thought of them, so if they play like this, it could be that Senegal sweeps them, but in the event that Ecuador plays with its maximum potential, I think it will be one of the most interesting and good matches in the World Cup.

I think that the Senegal team is arriving with incredible potential and desire to win in this World Cup, I can see that nothing but Mane with what he is doing to seek help quickly with his wounds is a big step, he is committed, he is all.

I still want to know who won in this bet because surely most of the losers in this match bet Cheesy
I just won, but I bet in a live when the odds are 4x. I am very regretful after that because I am late to put them when the odds are still on 13x. So I guess many bettors won out there because Saudi Arabia is a good performance in the last 5 matches, many bettors are calculated they will make surprised because they know Argentina is just a team who filled up the veteran player.

That look funny the big team can't handle winning versus a team which not have an achievement like Saudi Arabia. Messi will be shamed and maybe still regret in his room hotels.


Well I really admire the people who won the Argentina and Saudi Arabia game, I admit it, I lost but it didn't bother me to lose, at the same time I liked it because the Arab countries deserve to shine at their best, besides the football they showed It was very good, they really looked like they were horses in the way they ran, at one point it crossed my mind that they had a style similar to Brazilian soccer but no, it was a unique style, and I think that Argentina did not know how to interpret it and therefore They lost that, not even Messi could do it, so what Saudi Arabia has is something very special, and I hope they continue to exploit it more and more.

Lyon vs Nice today match, Very hard to predict this match result. Two team points gap only 1.Both team can be win today match cz both team have more strong balance team.Both opponent are very expensive. I think both team score will be happened in this match.Can Nice will beat Lyon and get 3 point? What do you think who will win today match and get full point?

Before the match, I thought it could be a draw.  The match ended 1-1 with 2 penalty goals, just as I predicted.  Thus, the difference in points between them will continue to be 1.  They are far from the top, now the only goal of both teams will be to play in the European cups.  I know that they will try very hard to finish the league in the top 5.  However, this will not be easy.

WOW I congratulate you, I really didn't think that they were going to have a tie and even less in the way they did it, penalty shots will always be what give much more to talk about, however I don't see it as easy for these teams to climb either, the league is it's getting tough and the strongest are consolidating, well not the strongest, the strongest that we all know is PSG, but of course now after the World Cup everything can change, because the transfer windows open, purchases and everything what a team can be strengthened, if this is so, could we see a PSG without Mbappé? we don't know, maybe without Messi?

This PSG team has everything to win the UCL, which is what they lack, I think it shows that not all the money in the world can buy certain things.

With very huge capital spent for player transfers and player as well as coach salary and compensation, will they satisfy with only going far in Champions League?

They don't satisfy with that result and they want to win Champions League. With their resources, they should win many Champions League, not only one time which they even did not achieve so far.

With talented and ambitious players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, I am sure they don't feel happy if they can not win Champions League or Ballon d'Or. To win Ballon d'Or, Champions League trophy is a very big contributor.

Quote
So, I am guessing that they should be happy with what they have, and Mbappe is getting paid so much that he should be happy even if they lose it all, like even if they fail to get the domestic cup, the league, the ucl, all of them and should still be happy because dude is getting paid insane amounts.
They feel happy with money they received from PSG but with professional and ambitious players, they also want to win big trophies. Money is not all for their career and their lives.
Why not? Aside from the trio of Messi + Neymar + Mbappe, all other players deserve only the league and domestic cup, I mean they are not sowrld star players, they are just players that would be happy to win the title. What makes them so much better is that trio, and if they win one UCL with them, that would be great, but even if they don't, I feel like they should be happy about what they have.

Having a dominating team in the league, nobody even close to you is a great feeling, msut be, I never became a fan of a team that was that good, and that means fans are luck. No matter how much money you spend, UCL is never guaranteed, so it should not be a goal, it should be something you are happy to get if you do, but not sad if you don't.

Well I think what you feel is the same as what many players who are in the Spanish League with Real Madrid feel, I know that many people put it aside, and that usually bothers them, however this is for PSG and yes, there are many stars, a great trio of stars, this same feeling is something that many French people can feel, PSG is obviously dominating the league and will continue to dominate it, but at one point this is not so bad, a team has to be born that is strong enough to become the Barcelona of the League, which always competes with Real Madrid in the League, now well, for me one of the best teams will be PSG, but I have a lot of faith in Marseille, Lille , which are teams that are there but still lack something to fully shine.

Of course I say all this from the point of view that I have as a fan who likes good football and it is something that arouses any emotion.
6519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 23, 2022, 12:39:43 AM
In the first half I missed this match then I saw the score 3-2 HT and I think Dortmund will make a comeback in the second half then place a bet
As you can see it was Monchengladbach who scored the goals lol and the final score is 4-2 Dortmund suck our balance  Cheesy
Dortmund performance is really bad this season, they are out of the top 4 also none of their players stand out.
It was an extraordinary and very hot game because both of them were scrambling to try to control the ball and score goals but unfortunately Dortmund had to lose again, this was very embarrassing for Dortmund because they had to deal with Mönchengladbach who had a team not as strong as Dortmund, Mönchengladbach took advantage of teamwork so good that their defense is very difficult to break down by Dortmund.
This is sixth defeat of this season as right now we are in 15th round which is surely the worst case for team like Borussia Dortmund with this defeat now they are at sixth position even points gape is not widen as many teams are struggling but still in coming transfer window they need to do some good buying if they want to stay in good position and keep their chance alive for going into Champions League in next season because right now few teams are doing good job and this season is going to be tough for team as quality is improved and performance is also impressive which is creating competition for all top teams in Bundesliga.

In today match, Mönchengladbach not allowed them to have any challenge and take good lead in early minutes of the game in second half home side was in better control and have good defence which help them for keeping lead and done fourth goal which done good for their win.

one of the solutions that Dortmund can have is to wait for the transfer window, and at least hire a very good player who is in charge of the attack, which is where a good scorer is needed, for their part the defense is also somewhat flawed, but I don't see that they need the midfielder, they have a good start and great recovery, I don't see them as bad either, only that they lack material, but if I share that if they don't do something fast they will continue to decline and that would be a shame not to see Dormtund in the UCL.

In particular, I have always seen Dortmund as one of the teams that has the most options to go very far, but there is always something that ends up missing and that throws all their plans behind them.

Bayern Munich also has a lot more opportunities financially than other clubs. They already have a strong team, but they can also easily afford to attract strong players. Other teams have to make do with much more limited resources, it's not that easy. Dortmund has been able to hook up nicely for years, but they have not been able to absorb the departure of Haaland well. It must be said that they are unlucky that Haaler became ill, because they also paid quite a bit of money for that. Maybe they can now buy a striker in the winter. They can use it well.
Since all this while Bayern Munich have been winning Bundesliga it as also help them to be financially stable.  They can be able to afford any player. Dortmund sells out their best players without trying to always win trophies as priority, Dortmund not having the mindset to win trophies is making the team not to have target.

That's the biggest problem of Dortmund as they always sell their best players in the squad, this administration is very bad and they must change their mentality toward the team and players if they want to earn trophies and make their fans happy but it seems that this administration don't care at all about the fans
As a team that doesn't have good financial and that's the way used by dortmund to generate profit from football. This club is focusing to develop the new talent. It has been very well known by so many people if dortmund was pretty much the same like arsenal in the past when it was only developing the player to be sold for profit in the market. These kind of team can be called as profit oriented team. Dortmund will always try to sell its player that got a big offer by another player. It can be said if dortmund was not focus to win the trophy.
Getting big profit from selling the player was more than enough for dortmund but so many stars have come from dortmund.

But the departure of star players also depends on the wishes of the players themselves, because even though Dortmund often sell good players, there are also players who choose to stay in Dortmund even though they have received offers. For example, the current captain of the Dortmund team is Marco Reus, who has been playing for Dortmund for ten years. At least this case is also a small piece of evidence that not all of Dortmund's key players are easy to accept the offers that are available.
But yes, this is very rare indeed, because most players of course have different desires in football, like those who are young and want a title that they can continue to achieve.

It seems that when Dortmund realized that it was difficult to break Bayern Munich's dominance, maybe that was also one of the reasons they continued to release their key players.
Because at the same time, if Dortmund retain their key players, then Dortmund must also be prepared to provide a contract extension or a new contract which of course will cost more money.
So, there are many factors that prevent Dortmund from retaining its key players, this is also a way to keep them financially good and healthy.

Well everything you say I share and you are absolutely right, I really see Dortmund in that way that they cannot sell their key players, I do not know if you remember, but Lewa played there and the moment I saw Lewa shine it was there at Dortmund, and he really left a big void when he left, that was the team that launched him in a big way, also another way that Dortmund saw success is Haaland, so this speaks to the fact that Dortmund has always had the best stars of the world, and that obviously has let them go, I think this is a reason for the great reflection you have made.

The highlight of all this is that for now Dortmund continues to have a great style of play, continues to harvest great players and always gives a lot to talk about.

FIFA world cup 2022 Qatar group Team. Match Start 20 November.

Group - E
Team
1. Spain?Huh
2. Costa Rica?Huh
3. Germany?Huh
4. Japan?Huh

I see Group E with Spain and Germany. I think the two of them will be great rivals in the game. No other group had two such good opponents. But I am also sure that Spain and Germany will be the champions and runners-up from that group and will go through to the next round.

Spain and Germany are easily predicted to qualify for the next round. Because the other two teams in the group, Costa Rica and Japan, are not very strong. Spain and Germany are renowned and powerful teams. But both teams are not in good form now. Although they have a lot of talented and star players, their performance as a team is not very good. So they won't qualify for the next round without a challenge from Group E. They must perform well. Japan and Costa Rica are not very strong teams, Spain and Germany will not be able to win against these two teams without a good performance.
Among the teams in Group E, Japan and Costa Rica are not very strong teams. But these two teams Germany and Spain are much stronger than them. From Team E, Germany and Spain are the most likely to win and their style of play is very good.However, their game speed is not very good because they do not have good stars in this World Cup. Compared to other groups, Germany is the strongest team in Group E, but Spain was once a very strong team when it had many stars. But there is a possibility of going to Germany in this World Cup, the stars of this team can perform very well.

Well yes, in context and on a global level we could see it that way, but I could consider making a break, at least in analyzing the Japanese team, the Japanese have been improving their style of football with a lot of technique and strategy that are very good, the Japanese team He has great acceptance and respect now, there are very good players, apart from that they had a great program to make the Japanese improve certain characteristics such as their height to be a little more competitive, in that sense, I think you have to have a certain c Watch out for Japan.

On the other hand, Spain is a very good team, Germany too, there is no denying that they are very good and that they can do great things if they want to prove it, both are World Cup teams that have won World Cups and that is something that must be recognized.

The coach behind Saudi Arabia is a genius and underrated.
I agree with this.
Regardless of how most people think that Saudi Arabia is playing quite boring, I feel that it is indeed difficult for them to play openly against a team of Argentina's caliber which is very much the favorite, so carrying out a defensive scheme like this is definitely something that is really good to do.
On the other hand, for the world cup this time, there have been 2 surprises, indeed what happened after England played with the highest score. of course this will be a little difficult for their competition in reaching the next round.

Well I've been thinking about this, and if I can come to the conclusion that the Arabian manager is a great coach, and I'm sure they'll drag him to Europe, in fact I'd like him to be at Man United rather than Ten Hag, apart from this I think that the forward they have in Arabia is unique, I think that they have a phenomenal future if they continue to explode, because apart from playing well, I think that Arabia has a very great explosiveness and their players are quite good as to follow the same model of strategies that they used for Argentina, what I see from here is that if Arabia continues to play like this, they can be very successful.

It remains to be seen how it continues to unfold in the next matches, but the future I see for this World Cup can make many appusetas go down, because this World Cup is giving many surprises.
