When Kane scored the first Tottenham goal and Son hit the post with his left foot curler, it was going to be uncomfortable for Liverpool even they were still winning 3-1 at that stage. Tottenham played well to make it 3-3 but that back pass by Lucas Moura (who as a striker should have been nowhere near the defence at that stage) allowed Jota to score.

Having said that should Jota have stayed on the pitch after that high kick when he hit Oliver Skipp in the head? Should it have been a red card instead of the yellow card he received?

Overall, Tottenham could have walked away with a point after being 3-0 down but they ended up losing the game.

@JollyGood for the mess they’re in I blame Levy, because he’s constantly making one bad decision after another and till he’s at the club I don’t think that they can progress hence it’s time that he leaves the club. Furthermore Tottenham comeback did surprise me but in the manner they lost it clearly shows that the next manager will have a very big task on his hand, as this Tottenham side just keeps getting worst with each passing game.

With the popularity of franchise cricket, I fear that international cricket will die out soon. Especially since the ICC is so worried about keeping test cricket alive instead of actually improving the state of cricket right now. Probably the players are going to be only interested in International Cricket because of the world cup.
After all no franchise league title is going to be more important than the world cup. But at the same time, the other tournaments light the Asia Cup and others will lose its importance.
I don't know how much ICC tournaments are going to get impacted, but bilaterals are surely done if this happens. IPL franchises have formed a cabal, and they are now in talks with dozens of players to lure them out of international cricket. In the end, cricket will become similar to football, where club competitions reign supreme. In the long term, I am worried even about the future of ICC competitions as well. If the best players are taken out, then teams outside pig-4 will cease to be competitive. And along with that, popularity of cricket outside South Asia will drop even further.

I am sure that international cricket is going to get affected. At the same time, I actually agree that ICC tournaments are probably not going to be affected. But other than the ICC tournament players are not going to be interested to play for the national team. Why would the players want to play for the national team when they are getting paid a lot more money in the franchise t20 league?

The franchise league being more popular would have worked if cricket was popular in all around the world. But cricket is not that popular. And that's why it is not going to be a good thing for cricket.


@Sithara007 of course this was bound to happen and it’s only a matter of time now and for further proof read the news where they say IPL franchisee are offering England player’s a year round contract for quitting international cricket and I won’t be surprised if those player’s take up that deal. Furthermore with IPL franchisee owner’s investing in other leagues it’s only a matter of time before player’s give up international cricket and I wonder if at some stage ICC will scrap some of it’s fixtures/tournaments in exchange for compensation from these Franchisees.

It was clear that what the 2022 world cup host wanted was fame. They wanted to prove to the world that they could host the world cup and they also wanted to rebrand the Middle East making it look like an area that has become receptive to civilization and changes. Before this time people usually classify these Arabic nations as people that are glued to their religious beliefs. But the world cup proved that the middle east could make changes to their policies that will make football fans and investors comfortable. But I didn't see the last world cup as one of the best because it had many shortcomings that wouldn't have happened in another country.

If that was the case, then I am 100% sure that it didn't worked the way they intended. Even before the start of the tournament, many of the European teams were protesting against discrimination on unmarried couples and LGBTs. And some of the European teams even raised the issue of lack of compensation payments to the families of 6,000+ workers who died during the construction of world cup stadiums. And during the tournament, a lot of fans were unhappy about overpriced amenities and ban on alcohol. If Qatar wanted to showcase middle-east, then I would say that they completely failed in doing that.

@Sithara007 I totally agree with you and how can we forget that they refused to pay labourers their dues, so this World Cup just proved that they’ll never give up on their rigid beliefs. Furthermore it’s only in media that one will hear good things about the Qatar World Cup, but in reality I don’t think that they should be allowed to host another important tournament again.

I'm not a hypocrite I also want to win when I gamble, it's just that it's not my main target, or exactly as you said, winning is a secondary need that if I don't get it it's not a big problem for me.
You have done the right thing and realize that your finances will be better if you don't play gambling, but if we can manage our finances as well as possible then it won't cause problems for our finances. Unless we are gambling addicts who cannot manage finances and cannot control emotions that will make us lose everything.
Managing finances in gambling only some people are able to consistently continue to be able to control themselves in any situation.
Because in gambling there will always be situations where the gambler will lose in a row which causes the gambler to become emotional and always increase the number of bets or always deposit money and spend savings.
There are lots of cases of gamblers who in the end cannot control it all.
Gambling is a choice to play or not, of course it's a conscious choice, winning or losing is a risk that must be faced, don't play gambling if you don't want to take risks, winning is a bonus, don't prioritize winning consistently every day, after all, the real win is win control yourself or control our emotions in gambling.

Managing finances is not easy in gambling because it depends on how we can control ourselves, sometimes gambling when winning is difficult to control so in the end we keep playing and unconsciously spend the winnings again. so you will continue to lose at gambling, I also really want to feel victory but it's hard to get it, so I always play sports betting and never play casinos because it's hard to win at casinos, so I always play for fun at casinos, except sports betting for more serious bets looking for winnings.  Grin
Talking about risks in gambling, actually risks will also exist in every aspect of life, not just in gambling. If we want to always win, then gambling is not the place, even if we want to always win then life is not the place, because even in life we will not always be in the situation we want. You are right, that victory for a gambler is where he can control himself and not get carried away by emotions, it is a victory that is more than an ordinary victory.





Every gambler, be it amateur or pro, will always want to win when carrying out gambling sessions and that is something commonplace. we all, want the same thing. like you guys said, winning is a secondary need. therefore, we get a sensation of happiness from the gambling sessions that we do.

Basically, if we want to make gambling just part of the fun. The thing to remember is, gamble with what you can afford to lose. and play properly, within the limits we can afford, without always having to chase victory. that way, we won't be too obsessed with making money from gambling, especially for types of casino gambling that tend to rely more on luck.
Speaking of managing finances, this applies not only to gambling. most importantly, we must have good management. separate them first, which are for pleasure and which are for needs. that way, we won't have any problems with our finances. plus, we can gamble calmly, without being burdened with things that spoil the mood when conducting gambling sessions.
I don't understand what is the difference between amateur gamblers and pro gamblers, is it seen from the capital they have, or what? Maybe it's true that what distinguishes it is the amount of money owned, because if what differentiates it is skill, I don't think there are any special skills that a gambler must have.
Gambling really has to be in a good mood, because the pleasure of playing will disappear if our mood is not good, maybe we will even do something reckless when playing with a bad mood

@Jody.Drummer I was an addicted gambler who lost lots of his savings while gambling and especially chasing my loses, but after a point I took help and now I only play with surplus money and I advise all to do the same. Also for me a pro gambler knows when to stop, when to chase his loss and most importantly he only plays with the money he can afford to lose and this is my personal definition only.

This is one of the reasons that I like to bet from time to time on freebitco.in as it offers something else besides the regular sportsbooks you have. When I bet on the price for the cyrptocurrencies, I would only bet near the end of the month, but for betting on tennis or soccer matches, this time multiplier can give you a nice bonus.
Unfortunately this time even if you could bet until the day before the end of the month, it would have been hard to guess the price. Because we still don't know if BTC will close the month below or above $30k this month. I hope it will be above 30k because odds are higher (4.32 vs 2.19) and it would let me get some profits but BTC is still remaining at the bottom of $29k currently. You should try Formula One bets too, it's very exciting too.

@babygun indeed wagering on prices is really fun and equally risky, because it’s literally impossible to say where it’ll end due to the multiple factors involvement in determining it’s true value. @Saint-loup currently it’s looking to end just below $29400, and I don’t think it’ll race to $30k today because there’s no big news that can accelerate the prices.

Manchester city is eyeing treble this season, the premier league, FA cup and Champions league.
Man City has the ability to do it. fans are especially excited at the moment after Man City's resurgence is chasing Arsenal. because a few weeks ago Arsenal seemed not to be overtaken. but now Arsenal have made many mistakes for which they have to pay a heavy price.
Man City appeared very convincing, they had a winning mentality to defend the Premier League title. Even though they are facing strong opponents now, Man City will not let this season's big achievement target slip away.

@Pandu Geddon they’re very close to winning the Premiere League title, but it’s not a guarantee that they’ll win because if their player’s let their guard down then there’s a big chance that they can lose the league title by a slim margin. Furthermore for their next two cups they need to defeat Manchester United, Read Madrid and one of the Milan  club’s which is not an easy task hence I feel that there’s a big possibility of them breaking down under pressure and possibly losing out on these competitions.

Tough for Saints, I really thought they had it in them last night, started bright but I don't know if they got what it takes now with their fixture list not looking easy.
I hope that there will be a positive result for Southampton last night. Of course the hope I mean is the positive impact when holding Arsenal to a draw.
Apparently, Southampton failed to do so in public against Bournemouth.

By the way, Southampton is still not completely relegated because there is still a chance to increase the points with three more wins from the remaining 5 matches.
Against Newcastle United in the next match (match 34) was a bit difficult because Eddie Howe was trying to finish in 3rd place above Manchester United.

At least full points can be obtained by Southampton against Nottingham and Fulham.

@aylabadia05 it was a disappointing defeat for Southampton, and I believe that their relegation is all but confirmed now however I do believe that they’ll definitely return back to premier league in the long run. @buwaytress they’ll probably lose against Newcastle, because Newcastle is in top form and Newcastle will want to win to secure the third spot in the table and mark their return to champions league in style.

Things like this can actually be avoided if we are careful from the start, but it seems that the Op did not read in advance what the minimum withdrawal amount is. This can be a valuable experience for Op, with the experience experienced today it should be able to become a more thorough gambler before playing on gambling sites. In fact, many have talked about the importance of reading the terms and conditions beforehand, and this can be a lesson for beginners before playing at certain casinos.
This can be avoided if you read the withdrawal rules and there will definitely be written the minimum amount that can be withdrawn and we can reconsider whether to continue making a deposit or not.
Here we cannot blame anyone because both parties have their own decisions.
From my experience at FJ, I never made a withdrawal, only deposited a small amount and tried my luck here, who knows, I'm lucky, but if not, let my money run out to enjoy the game at FJ and I'm entertained even though I don't have the experience of winning.

@klidex that’s a basic gambling rule don’t deposit any money till you’re comfortable will all the terms and conditions of the casino, and this is an important lesson for all user’s who never bother to check terms and conditions and go on to to regret their decisions later on.

Eh, I knew I forgot to put in MajSev picks when I found out a new week had started yesterday. Don't think it'd have mattered though, as I'd not have picked Vardy, Mings or even Neves or any of last night's scorers. Feels like we had a free purge of hard-to-predict scorers after all.

That leaves 6 rounds left for someone to take it all this season.

I'm not really into boxing anymore but I do like watching the big events.  Looking forward to watching Davis vs Garcia in a couple of weeks.  I'm def getting the PPV for that one and will be drop a little action on the match.  I think it's gonna go all 12 rounds with Davis edging it out. 

And I do long shot degen parlays with my free bets too but I've never gotten any luck with them.  I usually do 5 - 10 legs across the UFC and the EPL but there's always a pie shtter spoiling everything.  =]

Yeah FJ does seem to have the very best odds on boxing, which is why it's getting love there. Not an expert at all but don't need to be if choosing favourites. It's UFC that scares me!

@buywaytress yea @tokeweed is keeping his picks close to his heart now, but in the last few matches I expect team’s to defend more and thus I’m expecting less goal’s now so be careful with your selections.

Dortmund should be faced easy match today because their opponent is only Bochum and after defeated by Wolfsburg with huge scores i think Bochum conditions is not really good and their positions also is not quite safe and win result is mandatory for them but their current opponent is Dortmund and we all know Dortmund condition were quite different now that after Edin Terzic train this team Dortmund have changes a lot especially from mental players that seems Dortmund players is more confident to faced every matches

Talking about this match Bochum is very weak now they even only able to win once from 10 matches so Dortmund have to utilized this match to resumes their winning streak and for squad conditions Nico Schlotterbeck will be unable to played because of injured but it won't be a big problem because Niklas Sule can replace his position as centre back and for betting purposes Dortmund win seem good picked but this option hasn't have high odds @1.46
Dortmund can cement their position at the summit with a win at struggling Bochum. Dortmund who are strong contender in the league need a win against Bochum to ensure they stay top spot in the Bundesliga, Dortmund reaffirmed their status as genuine title contenders when the put four goals with a reply from a strong Eintracht Frankfurt. With Bayern losing at Mainz this latest result allows them to move up to the Bundesliga and can strengthen their position with a win at the relegation threatened Bochum
It is just one point separating Bayern and Dortmund. If Dortmund makes this three point count against Bochum, they will not only solidify their position on the table they will also boast the teams moral for the remaining games in the league. From the look of things Dortmund has become a big threat to Bayern and if they keep up with winning their remaining 10 matches they will become this season's title holders. Bochum will just have to pray VB Stuttgart losses too to Monchengladbach so they can remain at one position ahead of relegation zone.

@Zilon Dortmund has shown mixed form in their last few matches, hence there’s no guarantee that they’ll win thus I would advise caution if one is planning to wager on them. Furthermore while Dortmund are leading by one point, but I feel that they could yet lose the top spot because of Bayern’s winning mentality and thus I expect lots of of twists as we head towards the end of the season.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 28, 2023, 09:30:12 AM
I think Real Madrid are now too worried about the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is why the team is failing to spend much time in La Liga. In fact, the semi-final match is very important for Real Madrid when the opponent is Manchester City, who are currently one of the best teams. So it will not be easy for Real Madrid to secure the victory in the semi-final match.
I was quite surprised to see the number of prediction sites that gave a "win probability" (90 minutes) of 30% for Madrid and 43% for Man City, Madrid is a team full of surprises. I'm sure they have prepared well enough to face Man City in the UCL semifinals. but before focusing on UCL, madrid must first focus on facing almeria tomorrow, the victory in this match is very important to secure madrid's position in 2nd place in the standings.

for the UCL semi-final match against Manchester City, of course, became Real Madrid's main focus, so that's why Real Madrid's performance in the La Liga match decreased slightly, their loss to Girona last weekend was proof and even this week against Almeria, Real Madrid will also experience the same thing. The same.
to defend 2nd place in the standings from the pursuit of Atletico Madrid is very difficult for Real Madrid maybe they think there is no difference finishing in 2nd place in the standings or 3rd standings because as long as they are still in the top 4 of the standings they will still get a ticket to next season's UCL.

for now it is very risky to bet on Real Madrid in La Liga matches, even though the betting market is very favorable for them to win but I think it is better not to take that risk, what happened in the last few weeks made me not to bet on teams top of La Liga.

@uswa56 I believe that Real Madrid have the psychological edge here, because look at the number of time’s Real Madrid have won this competition and in comparison look at how many times Pep has failed to win this competition while being the head coach of City. Lastly while on paper both team’s are equally dangerous, but in the end it’ll boil down to which team can thrive under pressure and for me that team is Real Madrid hence I expect them to beat City and reach the final's one more time.
751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 28, 2023, 05:41:24 AM
I agree with this, Milan team clearly showed their strength to Napoli in the SERIE A before the champoins league matches, they really deserve being in the champoins league sumi final, now they will have a though derby against inter and im really excited to enjoy this matches, no matter who will be the winner im sure this match will be very good to watch
Derby Milano this season will obviously be quite good to watch because the two teams meet in the big competition of the Champions League so their motivation to play will certainly be very big because considering they are fighting to get to the final. But in this case, I have more confidence in AC Milan who will be able to go to the final round because after seeing the strength and performance of the two in Serie A, it seems that AC Milan is slightly stronger than Inter Milan. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Inter Milan qualified for the UCL final.
I can't predict which team will advance to the UCL final because Inter and Milan are almost equal in strength, but in the local league, milan has an important match, they will face roma, roma and milan are competing for 4th place because at the moment both of them have the same points. while inter will face lazio, past matchday, lazio lost 1-0 to torino, if they can't maintain their good performance then juventus will shift their position in 2nd place.

@Prince Malik it’s been quiet a while since I saw the Milan clubs at this stage of the champions league, and if one of them goes on to win it then it’ll be a very proud moment for the entire Italian league. However there’s no right way to pick a favourite team between these two, because on paper they’re equally strong but I would yet pick Inter to win because of Lukaku’s goal scoring abilities.

Yes, that's true, the rumors about Kante's move to Barcelona will not come true. Because the midfielder has reportedly agreed to press a new contract with Chelsea. I thought, how could Todd be able to let go of this important player with the condition of the club that was in a slump? Todd must retain good players to restore Chelsea's performance.

I think this is the best way to describe the current Chelsea situation, a test run of failed managers. Now the latest news going round says Pochettino might be the right one to change the situation, lets see if that will be the case or just be another name adding to the list of failed Chelsea managers.
Chelsea are hunting for several names who will become potential coaches for next season, they are Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and Pochettino. Now it is reported that Chelsea have set aside the two names above including Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, and now only Pochettino is left. I don't know why Chelsea prefers Pochettino to be their new coach candidate. Talks between Pochettino and Chelsea management are ongoing. I think Todd should be more patient to find a candidate for a coach who is really right to change the condition of his club.

Todd Boehly is the main issue with Chelsea, he's just the owner of the club and not good at this shit, he should oversee the club and how it goes, both wrong or right, this are some ways CEOs and some billionaires fail, you can't do everything.
Pochetino Mauricio is not a worthy transfer, it would still end in pains and lamentations.

Ngolo Kante came back from Injury and wasn't looking like a player that was Injured for months, he shouldn't be allowed to leave. Ziyech and some other floppy players should ne let go during the transfer.

@Sterbens Poch will be an excellent appointment, because he knows this league and thus he’s the right person to develop this Chelsea squad. Furthermore Todd has totally failed as an owner, and if he doesn’t get his act right soon then I believe that Chelsea fan’s will start protesting and it won’t be a pretty sight and therefore I hope that he can get Poch to come and immediately revive the club.

RCB vs KKR match was excellent batting performance in first condition KKR did best. and their run-rate increased sufficiently from the next 16 overs onwards. Jason Roy and Nitish Rana two batsmen scored the highest runs for the team and Jason Roy scored a half century. But when RCB was batting their performance was also outstanding especially Virat Kohli's batting performance was excellent. If he could have played some more time for the team, more runs could have been scored and the match could have been won. But unfortunately all the other players in the match did not give that good batting performance due to which RCB had to lose the match. And in the end KKR put in enough good batting and bowling performances to win by a huge margin of 21 runs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore lost the match when Virat Kohli decided to send Shahbaz Ahmed ahead of Glenn Maxwell. When Faf du Plessis got out, RCB were 31/1 after 2.2 overs. And this is when Shahbaz came in. He scored 2 runs from 5 balls and got out. The momentum for RCB was lost right there. Mahipal Lomror made some big hits after Shahbaz got out, but the required run rate kept creeping up all the time and Dinesh Karthik also wasted a lot of balls in the earlier part of his innings. RCB should have won this match, but in the end they lose it because of their own stupid tactics.

@Sithara007 that was indeed an baffling tactic by Kohli, because when you’re chasing such a big target you need to send Maxwell out there asap so he scores runs quickly and reduces the pressure on the next batsmen. Also despite RCB losing the match there’s one positive for all the Indian fan's that Virat looks to have found his lost form back, and if he can maintain this form then it’ll help team India a lot as many big tournaments are coming up post the IPL.

Oman has given a target of 366 to Saudi and in reply Saudi are 106 for the loss of one wicket. Oman is much more experienced team then Saudi that's the main reason there bowlers took full advantage of inexperienced Saudi bowling. Saudi batting is doing good in run chase as they have scored 106 runs in 17 overs for the loss of one wicket only.
Of course the Oman team has the experience but we can't underestimate the Saudi Arabia team. Because if we take a look in the previous match which was played with Qatar and the target was 217 runs and the Saudi Arabian team chased the target with in 34 overs and gave only 3 wickets. In this match we are also looking a little bit stronger the Saudi Arabia team because they made  139 runs in 22 overs and gave only one wicket. By the way the match is looking tough let see who will win. Smiley
Oman have a good balling attack they are giving hard time to Saudia Arabia and took their 9 wickets.
Match is totally in omans Court now and they'll win it easily now.
Oman batting was outstanding too , overall they performed brilliantly.

@ThemePen Oman player’s played brilliantly today and they didn’t gave Saudi any chance while they were batting, however Saudi player’s too put in a commendable performance by scoring 294 runs. Lastly while Saudi did lose this match, but overall their batting did impress me and they showed that they have what it takes to chase a big target hence I believe that now no one should underestimate them.

And the match is delayed due to rain , Sirlankans were excellent today they chased the trail quickly with just 1 loss of wicket and If rain didn't interrupted there play they could have easily started their lead .
Ireland tried hard to make this match in favour of them but the pitch is totally favouring Sirlanka.
Rain is not looking to stop and third day already stumped and now two day for both team to win. 80% chances that this match will be over without any result. Ireland made a 492 against Top spin bowlers which should be appreciated. Today was very great day for Srilanka batsmen. Both openers hits centuries while kusal mendis is also close to his century. Sri lankan bowler's should work on their bowling setup id they want to restrict other team otherwise they cannot win over Ireland.

@Gladitorcomeback I’m really surprised that Ireland managed to score such a huge total against Srilanka, and in a way it shows that Srilanka really needs better bowling plan’s if they’re to win matches. Furthermore while their batsmen helped them back in the game, but I too feel that the result of this match will be a draw due to it constantly raining out there.

This led me to think about How CSK is winning matches? They have bowlers who have zero/least exposure to International cricket. I went ahead and check the stats of Deshpande, Akash & Pathirana.

While every other team had to bid for bowlers. MSD is busy creating new bowlers.

MSD was once the most successful captain of the Indian cricket team, with many players emerging in the cricket team in India. He knows how to captain a team and take it forward. Under his captaincy many losing matches have also been won in the end. All the players mentioned above have not qualified for international matches or made their debut but only Dhoni's bowling skills have been able to take Chennai Super Kings to the top in IPL 2023. However, there will be no surprise even if Chennai Super Kings are champions in this year's IPL because Chennai Super Kings can only make it to the finals under Dhoni's supervision.

@LDL these bowler’s definitely have the potential, and MSD is slowly and steadily grooming them and I won’t be surprised if they get bigger roles in the long term.

^^^ I am not sure whether there is a need to overhype the CSK bowlers. For sure they have performed well this season. For example, Tushar Deshpande has picked up 12 wickets so far, but those wickets came at an average of 23.16 and an economy rate of close to 11. Compared to him, Ravindra Jadeja performed much better. He picked up 10 wickets at an average of 17.60, and his economy rate is exceptional at 7.33. Akash Singh has also bowled well and he has so far picked up 5 wickets from 4 matches. But overall, CSK has won their matches mostly due to the batting, with bowlers playing a supplementary role.

@Sithara007 I disagree here it’s not hype at all, because these bowler’s deserve praise as it’s never easy to bowl in a T20 match and these bowler’s are performing well despite no major experience that too in IPL hence they deserve all the praises they can get for their performances.

At the Stadio Olimpico Roma should definitely try to win as the away match will be very difficult as Bayer Leverkusen are in good form and they play attacking football. Mourinho will of course stick to his defensive tactics, but in a home match, a win is a must.

Mourinho's experience in Euro cups could play an important role in this matchup, Roma might have a slight advantage in this, but EL has always been difficult to predict, let's see the first match, then something will become clear.
In my opinion, Roma is one of the favorite Serie A teams in the Europa League this season besides Juventus.
They need to be confident enough to beat Leverkusen in 2 meetings in the semi-finals or maybe just focus on winning one of the legs at home. But on the one hand, I never thought Leverkusen were a weak team at this stage, so no one should underestimate them against Roma.

Roma will have to try their best to win the first leg match considering it is being played at home. Leverkusesn is a good German team to have good hopes for in the Europa League even though their league standings are not as good as Leipzig or the other four in the Champions League zone. But then, Leverkusen is a team with good performance at least in their last 5 matches in the Bundesliga.

Yes I agree that Roma is one of four favorites in the Europa League to win the title. That is a very good observation!

Which team in your opinion is not a favorite to win the Europa League now? If you asked me, I would answer that any of the teams that is left in the semifinals has a reasonable chance to also win the title now. I don't see an advantage of Roma over Leverkusen as it is two legs and both have their home advantage. On a good day Leverkusen can be very hard to beat at home and they are very offensive, which means that they are able to keep Roma busy in their own half. When Roma has to attack, Leverkusen is also good at counter attacks. This is a 50:50 game for me.

@Cryptmuster I believe that Roma and Sevilla are the favourite team’s to win this competition, and thus I’m expecting to see these two teams in the finals. Furthermore I believe that Roma knows that if they want to secure an champions league spot then winning the Europa League is their best shot as the Serie A is unpredictable, hence I expect Mourinho to bring out his top tactical plans out to beat Leverkusen.

I'm sure Guardiola will put pressure on their team to be able to win the game in the first leg so that Madrid doesn't have a chance to comeback, marid has a winning mentality sometimes they always surprise in the last minutes so Manchester City needs to play pressing at the start to create a lot goals through Haaland where he is a Manchester City goal machine who is very prolific in scoring goals while playing in Manchester City.

Haaland et al will certainly play as much as possible to avenge them last season which made Manchester City fail to reach the UCL final, the meeting between the two is eagerly awaited because this will be a good match to watch and many eyes will be on this match, I know madrid has a winning mentality but i'm sure this season's UCL belongs to manchester city.
Pep Guardiola has been impressive this season though he has always been that standout manager even in previous seasons. It will be delight to see his team win all three trophies they are currently fighting for this season including the premier league and FA cup trophy. They are in very good form and it will be very interesting to see how they can survive Real Madrid in the semi finals.

@Pokapoka124 Pep is a perfectionist and he’ll want the very best from his team, hence I’m expecting a very entertaining game between these two sides. Also Haaland can give his audition for Real Madrid as they would be targeting a striker to replace Benzema, thus if he scores few goals against them then he’ll definitely pass his audition test of scoring in important games.

Signing for the Saudi Arabian was already a big mistake by Ronaldo since majority of the football fans over there are messi fans and him winning the world cup with his display at the just ended world cup in their neighboring country Qatar, made more Arabic football fans fall in love with Messi. He'll always be used to torment Ronaldo. My worries is why is Ronaldo allowing his rival fans to get into his head. Lets assume he meant the gesture, why should he do such when he's meant to be a professional. He should take his revenge to the field as he always does when he was younger.

He should make his opponent pay for the disrespect by them conceding and get his team to winning ways by scoring instead of attacking the fans for disrespecting him. With the changes of habit by Ronaldo, he's giving the media what to talk about and make them look right with their earlier publication of him been the problem of the clubs he's playing for. He shouldn't be giving the media reasons to speak bad about him instead he should be proving everybody that doubted him wrong .

Because this is who Ronaldo really is. I know that Messi had some little scandals as well, but they are still different people. Ronaldo wants to polarize at all cost and he doesn't even hold himself back when it is about slapping a mobile phone out of a kid's hand because it wanted to take a foto. He is a great soccer player and serves as an example for physical fitness, but I wouldn't want to be like him as a person. I think we will soon call the world "arrogant" "ronaldish". When he did that against Atletico, I understood why. Because Simeone insulted him in the game before with the same gesture. Then Ronaldo destroyed them in the second leg and showed the gesture as well. But in Saudi Arabia, that is not very smart.
increasingly I was also quite hot with Cristiano's attitude, however.  al nassr is a team that is rich enough so that whatever negative actions cristiano does, he can get away with it (like the case of his obscene gesture towards al hilal supporters).  As someone who plays in the Arab League, he should be able to maintain his attitude and prestige because Al Nassr signed him for quite a long time (with the aim of Saudi Arabia becoming a world football magnet country).

Cristiano Ronaldo has now become an icon for Al Nassr. Of course, he must be careful with his movements. Of course, I'm sure Al Nassr officials will give Ronaldo a lot of chances.  Whatever he does, he will be free in Arabia. In terms of the league, he scores 11 goals in 11 games and plays with an average of 1 goal per game. A very good statistic in my opinion. In terms of points, it was bad for Al Nassr that they were behind Ittihad.

How? How has Ronaldo become an icon for Al-Nassr? I mean are there any news that I missed or did he win any titles with them? Ronaldo is not an icon for Al-Nasr. He simply is the best paid soccer world in the world thanks to sheikh money and he a former world soccer player. He holds some records, but there is nothing anyone would specifically tie to him in terms of Al-Nassr's history or successes. He is scoring goals with a large part of it being penalties and he is grabbing his balls in front of the audience to show what a great guy he is. That is my summary so far for the guy you call an icon! Cheesy

@W Jr I believe that Ronaldo’s history is repeating itself, because he did similar antics to get out of Manchester United and now he’s repeating the same just in time for the summer transfer window. Lastly if he doesn’t change his behaviour then the club will have no option but to either sell him or end his contract for good, and if that happens then no club in their right mind would offer him a contract hence I feel that he’s making a terrible mistake here.
