Djokovic missing Madrid is big news. Its amazing how a simple incident which causes
an injury can compound on top of other things within a season, he missed Indian Wells
because of visa rows and now an injury, his season so far has been disrupted.

I wonder if this is a worrying thing for Djokovic and his career, is this the start of
his final years?

As regards Madrid, the threat of Djokovic has been removed so I'm sure the other
top seeds will fancy their chances even more!

Alcaraz has to be big favourite

Without any doubt, Nole doesn't want to take any risks before RG. He has an elbow injury if I'm not mistaken and he played in a compression sleeve in Banja Luka, which is not a very good sign. By missing Madrid (and possibly Rome) he will try to win some time to heal his injury. 

Djokovic knows better than us of course but taking no risks also means less preparation and less serious testing for the actual physical condition. Tennis is a sport where practice counts a lot I think. The feeling for the ball and when you find your game rhythm, that isn't just there I believe. Djokovic is still a different beast, but look at Zverev. That's horribly bad how he is performing.

I am happy for Alcaraz as he is a young guy who deserves all the attention right now from the tennis world. He hasn't beaten just any player now, but Tsitsipas who has one of the best records on clay out there and he didn't even have a chance against Alcaraz.

@aoluain I don’t see any reason to worry about him, because he took a smart decision to preserve his strength for the French open where he’ll be hoping that he and Nadal can play in the final’s one last time as it would probably be Nadal’s final appearance at the French open. @shogun47 at 35 his career is definitely coming to an end, but I feel that he’ll stretch it for a year or max 2 year’s because of his recurring injuries it makes no sense for him to continue beyond that time frame.

Saudia Arabia Is a strong country and its league will definitely make alot of name in cricket world Arabs have alot of tendency to make their words real.
In my opinion Indians and Saudis will eventually end up together for growth of the cricket in Saudi Arabia. 
Indians have alot of skills as far as diplomatic relations are concerned.

The problem is that the market for cricket is already saturated. IPL takes away 3 months every year from the calendar and then there are bilateral tours by the Indian team and the ICC tournaments. There is simply not enough spare time available to accommodate the Saudi league. And the BCCI is not that stupid to allow the Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation to take control of the Indian market. It will negatively impact the popularity of the IPL, and in turn the BCCI revenues will nosedive. So in all probability, the Saudis are going to pour tons of money in to the new league and they are not going to get anything in return. 

@Sithara007 while I definitely agree with you on almost all the points, but I do have a different opinion on this because for starter’s BCCI could send their reserve squad of player’s to get some experience and then these player’s would fetch higher price during the IPL auction.

Secondly BCCI would command higher revenue share for sharing their player’s, hence they’ll always get additional revenue from this and honestly I don’t think that any league can impact IPL popularity thus BCCI maybe tempted to make additional money as and when this league begins.

You are not alone.I am playing here since early 2014 and I never hit the 200 dollar prize ever,also I never hit the weekly lottery also while having a good decent number of tickets most of the time and some weeks I intentionally have not used all the WoF spins in order to have a smaller number of tickets as supposedly you have more chances by having less tickets and still never got it.

 I thought like you in the beginning but people more knowledgeable than me pointed out that usually there are more people with less tickets than few ones with a lot of them and as such from a pool of over 50 million users chances are higher than one of those people with less tickets to be a winner.

Luckily though this very week the first prize of the weekly lottery was won by a guy with 231 million tickets which got 0.34 Bitcoin and the amount you need to buy the 231 million is 0.231 but maybe he got them because he wagered a lot and refs of him wagered a lot too,point is I am always happy when someone with a lot of number of tickets wins the lottery.

@soslex there’s no way to say when one will win, but out of the blues I once reached 9999 and from then I have hit 9998 and 9975 - 9990 many times hence you just got to keep on trying and hope to get lucky. @swogerino while it’s true that many times small number of ticket holders win, but that’s not always a guarantee so always try to collect maximum tickets for higher chances of winning.

Terrible penalty by Solly March but somebody has to be the fall guy otherwise we’d be going on all night. Should be a good final, an all Manchester Derby. City will be favourites but anything can happen in a final. Two trophies and a top 4 finish would be a good first season Ten Hag.
Penalties are like lottery, there is some luck involved but it is enough that one or two players are not mentally stable and they are losing the match.
I really wanted to see Brighton winning this one but having Manchester derby in FA Cup final have a special meaning for both clubs.
Man City is heavy favorite to win and I am waiting to see early odds for this match but there is time until June 3 when final is scheduled.


Manchester united wasn't favourite for the match, Brighton was master class in the game. They show class and were more organized than Manchester united. Luck run out of them . we're waiting for the super Manchester derby in the FA cup finals. It will be tough for both team, I can't decide who's favourite for the cup. Till the very day of the finals.

@Lordhermes this was an incredible semi finals match and I personally felt that Brighton deserved to win, and even though I’m a Manchester United fan but yet I really felt sorry for all the Brighton fan’s. Also when it went to penalties I thought that Manchester United would miss as they often miss, but all the player’s stepped up well to take their penalty kick but overall they need to improve their performances if they want to beat City in the final’s.

Bad news for Liverpool is they will have to beat both Tottenham and Newcastle United to participate in top four. With not many remaining matches, this task is difficult for Liverpool but they only can try as it is best they can do. Try their best in remaining matches and wait for support of luckiness and destiny.
Realistically speaking Liverpool's chances may only get to fifth or sixth in the final standings and that depends on how the final results are from Newcastle and Tottenham, but in my opinion it is difficult for Liverpool to finish in the top five with the remaining games.

Liverpool still have matches remaining to face Tottenham and Aston Villa. These two matches cannot be taken lightly for Liverpool, because Tottenham and Aston Villa also have the desire to finish in the top five. At the moment the three clubs are really fighting to finish in fifth position until the end of the season and maybe we can see who will succeed after these two matches.

@ancafe Liverpool do have a difficult task, but if Salah steps up then it would make their task much easier however he’s not been in great form this season hence I’m not expecting much from him now. Furthermore Newcastle deserves to finish in top 4, because they have played exceptionally well this season and thus it’ll be really sad if they miss out on a top 4 spot.

ancelotti has been able to make the difference this season, this is notwithstanding after they failed to compete strongly in the Laliga they focused well in other competitions. Qualifying for the Copa del Rey final and in the ucl, ancelotti again managed to bring Real Madrid to the semifinals are two good hopes for Real Madrid to get a trophy this season.
in the Champions league, real madrid is highly favored to win this season.  but we will see the draw in the semi-finals which team real madrid will get against.
Barcelona indeed one of their hopes is laliga so xavi will take advantage of the opportunity in the upcoming match to return barcelona to victory.
Although Madrid have a small chance of winning, but three points must be obtained in the remaining matches of their season. This is to keep them at number two. Of course there is prestige that must be maintained from the one-city club Atletico Madrid. In addition, if you look at the league match schedule, Real Madrid will not have a heavy opponent.
Of course they can focus on the Copa Del Rey and I'm sure they will win the Copa Del Rey. As for UCL they are experienced and I believe they are capable of reaching the Final.

Maybe Real Madrid is not expecting the La Liga title. Their target is probably the Champions League title. However, it is very important for Real Madrid to continue their good performance in La Liga. Because if Madrid loses a point in a match, they can also lose the second place in the points table. Real Madrid is only 2 points ahead of Atletico Madrid. So if they lose a match, Real Madrid might lose the second place in the table. This is why the team should continue to try to perform well in both the La Liga and the Champions League.
Real madrid performance is not impressive at all , I'm so worried if it won't affect them from winning champions league. Even if winning laliga is not their target but in some games their performance is good with good numbers of goals to  prove they still have that quality as a team.  Real Madrid needs to put more effort in the Champions league game, the second leg game they played with Chelsea though they won, if Chelsea is to be in a good form it wouldn't have been possible for them to win. They need to level up to make sure they achieve the Champions League.

@ginsan I believe that Carlo did his best but the president failed to back him in the transfer market, and he’s yet the right man for the job. However if Real Madrid are planning for the long term then it may not be a bad idea to get in a new coach at the end of this season, and allow him to reshape this squad which needs multiple replacements in many positions.

BJ is really fast these days I have to say, btw guys! Trying it almost daily now for a few hands, maybe a serious round is upcoming but I hate myself when losing a lot Wink Much smoother compared to old days.

Also I got an email for investors, something new is coming Wink

Yup! Too much intelligence to answer people. I can see people enjoying it too much, One thing I don't like is that sometimes the bot answers unnecessarily. For example, I am talking with you and asking a question, Jack is coming and trying to answer my question in his way. Sometimes this can reduce the concentration of a serious discussion I think. So I would like to suggest them, Change/add some algorithms to make it more intelligent to be perfect where he should and where he should not. Smiley

Right I noticed that too, jack interripts a lot haha. AND he sometimes needs to be asked twice to answer. Definitely he shouldn't interrupt ongoing conversations or he loks like a clown Wink

Out of nowhere I simply visited this thread and saw this post, checked website and here we go, they really have an AI in the chat. Is it actually ChatGPT's API? Btw it was a little bit boring for a casino, it was just giving very serious answers to dumb questions.

Not sure but I recognize the little things in chatgpt these days, I think there are many places using different AI but at the end it is chatgpt powering. Just like you have 100 different AI artist but below it is stable diffusion. Anyway, nice for fun for a little while but at least the chat is more happening these days Smiley

@slaman29 it indeed is because the admin has been constantly working in the background to make it faster, and he’s also able to accommodate most of the user’s requests which is really commendable in my personal opinion. Lastly I’m not entirely sure about if it’s chatgpt or not but it seems that AI bots is the new trend, and @Sujan is correct because it’s clear that there’s more work needed to be done on the bot to make it perfect.

769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 21, 2023, 01:11:31 PM
Now Bayern Munich can focus on the bundesliga after failing in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this failure really hurts a good chance can't be converted into a goal, but they should forget about this failure because even in the bundesliga their position is not safe so immediately focus on Saturday's match will be better than continuing to think about the defeat that occurred.
Yes, of course, after the failure in the Champions League to qualify for the semifinals yesterday, it's good that they have to focus on the Bundesliga, their chances of qualifying for the semifinals yesterday were very small, after all, in the second leg they were only able to score one goal, now it's better for them to return to focus on the Bundesliga. considering that they are only 2 points ahead of Dortmund, staying at the top of their standings requires a win over Mainz to be able to score a point difference for Dortmund.

Not only did Bayern Munich lose against Manchester City in the Champions League, but their performance also deteriorated. Bayern Munich's performance in both matches was quite poor. Especially their attacking players did not perform well. And if Tuchel can't stabilize the team, Munich is likely to drop points in several games in the Bundesliga as well. Dortmund is only 2 points behind Munich. And so if Munich loses a point in any match then Bayern Munich also has the possibility of losing the top spot in the table.
In as much as Bayern Munich is currently criticized for failing to eliminate Manchester City and progress to the semi finals of this season's UEFA Champions League competition, let us also admit the fact that their opponent is one team that no other club would want to face at the moment. City is playing the "total football" that Pep Guardiola is known for and with the rate at which Erling Haaland is scoring goals, it'll be very difficult to stop them as a team.
Bayern Munich is out of the competition and has turned their attention to the Bundesliga title and with Thomas Tuchel as their manager, I don't think they can be stopped from retaining the Bundesliga title this season.

@Docnaster Bayern were always destined to lose against City after their stupid decision to fire their coach midway in the season, and Tuchel is a good coach but I always felt that he’ll take quiet a while to settle with Bayern. Lastly there’re only few matches left so Tuchel has to step up quickly or he’ll end up losing the Bundesliga title, and I wonder if that happens will he be sacked or will he be given time to rebuild the team?.

@JollyGood it seems like Arsenal are crumbling under pressure from Manchester City, and another loss or a draw would definitely hurt their title chances. Furthermore Manchester United will be hurting after yesterday’s loss in the Europa League, hence I expect them to score lots of goals and win in style in their upcoming fixtures in the premier league.

The competition in the top 4 is even more interesting after the Juventus penalty was lifted which made Juventus rise to the top 3, even Juventus was able to shift the rankings of AC Milan and Inter Milan so that the upcoming matches will be quite interesting to watch, especially for teams competing in the rankings big 4.

For Juventus, if they manage to come back to winning ways, they will automatically be quite safe with the current ranking. The Juventus fans welcomed the lifting of the Juventus ban and they hoped that Juventus could make the most of the rest of the season as best they could.
They are back and this season is very hilarious for Juventus. After all, they will not get any punishment, any point deduction in this season and with a newest update for their total point and standing, they are safe in top four and even can catch Lazio at the second position. With latest news, Juventus will only get punishment (if there is) in a next season and the competition for top four is now between Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan with advantage is at Roma at the moment.

Quote
Seeing Inter Milan, which has been quite messy in the last 5 matches, makes me quite pessimistic that Inter Milan will be able to close the season in the top 4 even though they still have opportunities to improve their performance.
Inter Milan have very bad form in Serie A and they have worst disadvantage amongs clubs which are competing for top four.

@hd49728 what a crazy season for Juventus and it’s fan, and it’s about to get crazier because if they end up in the fourth position and either Milan club wins the champions league then they’ll miss out on the champions league football for next season. However for now they have a 3 points lead for the 3rd spot, and it’ll be really interesting to see if they can sustain it and end the season on the third spot.

The search for Christophe Galtier’s replacement on the Paris Saint-Germain bench appears to be underway already. However, I have a strong feeling that Mourinho would be ready to leave AS Roma to pursue another challenge at the highest European level. Recently he’s been linked to Chelsea, Al-Nassr and PSG but only certain clubs would get him to move on from As Roma, with whom he is under contract until 2024. PSG won’t be a good move, considering the demanding nature of the club and how they don’t have a good football model.
As long as PSG will be agreed to sign him and i think that mourinho will be flying to the paris to sign a contract with PSG. Galtier is not giving good result.

The latest news said that if galtier is being investigated by police.

Sir Dave Brailsford is expected to be interviewed as a witness by French police investigating allegations that the Paris Saint-Germain head coach, Christophe Galtier, made racist comments while manager of Nice.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/apr/19/police-investigating-psg-christophe-galtier-alleged-racism-expected-to-interview-sir-dave-brailsford

It seems like for me mourinho has biggest chance to become the next coach for PSG.

Quote
According to RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on Jose Mourinho and want to tempt him away from Roma.
https://football-italia.net/psg-reportedly-courting-roma-coach-mourinho/

The special one is the most suitable coach for PSG right now. I think that he will be doing an overhaul to the club. The special one will be facing sergio ramos as well. It will be so good for the special one to become PSG's new coach.
It's caused by he has good credibility as football manager. Mou has been known as world-class manager too.

@CryptocurencyKing I don’t think PSG is a project that Mourinho will like because the league is too easy, and secondly he likes to dictate his player’s but at PSG the coach will have to consider all demands of Mbappe hence he definitely won’t come to PSG. Lastly I feel that Carlo maybe available, because he’s already lost the league title and if Real don’t win the champions league then he’ll definitely be sacked at the end of the season and he would be an excellent appointment in my personal opinion.

I can't believe it how come Italy is the winner last EURO edition is not favorite for winning EURO 2024? seems crazy with this odds predicting because Italy success defeated England in final last EURO 2020 is not favorite team? however not qualify in World Cup 2022 its not comparison why Italy have bigger odds or not favorite in EURO 2024. I think beside Germany as host keep believing with magician from  Italy success back to back winning EURO.

I would agree with this argument. Italy may not be as strong as France (or even England, despite the fact that they destroyed England during the finals of Euro 2020). But there is no way Italy can be placed so much below teams like Germany. I guess a lot of people tend to ignore Italy, since they were not there in Qatar 2022. Italy has remained out of spotlight for some time. I would say that Italy is one of the favorites to win Euro Cup this time and they have a good team balance and team bonding unlike some of the other top teams in this competition.

I don't agree that Italy is one of the favorites for winning the title. France, Spain and England definitely have much more chances to win the title. Italian league may be one of the best European leagues, but their national team is not what it was. They may have won the title in 2020, but that was three years ago and things are completely different now. England beat them in Italy last month in the qualifications. You can't say that Italy is a better team than England just because they won a game three years ago.

@tazmantasik Italy’s form went down the drain and if you see their last few matches their performance was really bad, hence I’m not at all surprised to see those odds for them. Also for me France and England are the obvious favourites, but as I have seen in the past that the favourites don’t always win so there’s yet hope for Italy to win and impress us like they used to do in the past.

MS Dhoni may be dropped from the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings in IPL. 

I am explaining this to you. Mainly because of slow over rating, such a decision can come. In every match, CSK bowl two to three overs more than the allotted overs. Because each telling ball actually makes several no-balls, including multiple white balls. And especially when a fast bowler comes to bowl with a concept of 10 plus runs per over and bowls two or one wide ball in the over, then that over takes more time than the scheduled time, as a result of which the overall match is seen as two to three overs more. 
Dhoni himself has expressed regret about this.

Umpires usually give on-field penalties due to slow over rating, which is that if a team suffers a slow over rating after the power play, the umpire is forced to field four men instead of five outside the circle.

However, if this type of incident continues to happen regularly, then the captain of that team will be fully punished. He will be released from the captaincy.
There is no end to the diversity of laws in cricket, this time there is a combination of multiple legal diversity in IPL. Slow over rating means if the over is not completed within the specified time, the entire team including the captain is penalized and the captain has to pay a fine of 30 percent of the match fee. Now that method is not after the match but during the match the penalty should be calculated. If the over is not completed within the specified time, the fielder must be fielded within 30 yards with one player less. This is the penalty for slow over rating during the match. It is still unknown to me whether the captaincy will be subject to a ban for the next match if multiple mistakes are made in a row.

@Patrol69 it’ll be a clever move because the new captain will only be there for formality, because we all know that MSD will be taking all the decisions on the field. Furthermore I’m baffled as to why are CSK bowler’s doing this, and it reminds me of the previous match fixing scandals which rocked the IPL hopefully I’m wrong and the bowler’s aren’t doing this on purpose.

Portugal have many young talented player but they not brave give them chance get regular position and prefer keep hold on with Cristiano Ronaldo
~~~

That is definitely not true. You are claiming that Ronaldo is the reason why these players are not getting chances. It is the other way around. During Qatar 2022, the Portuguese coach (Fernando Santos) humiliated Ronaldo by not including him in the starting XI. The younger players performed well during the first match (against Switzerland, which they won by a massive margin of 6-1). But the tactic failed against Morocco during the Quarter-finals, and they lost the match 1-0. The younger players first need to perform consistently, before they talk about replacing Ronaldo.

That's true but you may not believe it, since there are many old players like Ronaldo playing for their national team there is less chance for younger players to have a chance. However, currently, Ronaldo can't show any good performance, and even yesterday in his Abarian team the fans were unhappy, the reason why we usually talk about Ronaldo and other old players is just because of their reputation they have not their performance anymore.
Obviously experience comes with age how can you expect younger players to come at level of Ronaldo,  he is the king and he'll ever be because of his experience  age and game .
No one can replace him for a long time in football world but yes many good footballers came into light during fifa world cup and In next world cup they'll be polished more and they'll show more good performances.

I wouldn't really use such big words like mentioning the fact that no one can replace Ronaldo. We thought the same about some other football greats in the past like Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puckas, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Brazil's Ronaldo and nowadays Ronaldo and Messi.
Every football era has its football greats and can we really say that Ronaldo was a better football player than Eusebio, Pela or Maradona?
I don't think we need to worry about football, in every age new football greats appear and the old ones fall into oblivion.

@Daniel91 Ronaldo isn’t irreplaceable but for now Portugal should keep him around, and let the younger player’s learn from him before they decide to permanently replace him. Also whenever he’s replaced I believe that he should be given a role within the Portugal team and it could probably be a consultant role where he could give advice to the young player’s, and lastly I’m sure that we’ll soon discover his replacement as they’ll start to prepare for future tournaments.
776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 19, 2023, 11:26:14 AM
Paris Saint Germain will surely win the league and I think it was expected of them from the day the league kick started and that's understandable because of the quality of players in their possession. Lens has done greatly awesome this season to keep close to PSG but I think they also know as a club that they can't stop the star studded  PSG from winning the league. If the French Ligue 1 must be competitive like other major leagues in Europe, club owners must learn how to invest hugely in their squads
PSG has only focused on Ligue 1 since being knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16, they must stay focused on the remaining 7 matches to win the League title. They still lead the standings with a difference of 8 points from Marseille who are in second place, PSG must win the next 5 matches to secure the Ligue 1 trophy.
The difference in points in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place is very close, most likely there will still be a change in position between Marseille, Lens and Monaco in the remaining matches. Lille, who is in fifth place, only six points away from Monaco, still poses a threat to the team in the top four.
It is very interesting to see the competition in rankings 2 to 7, towards the end of the League there are still surprises displayed in the standings, these clubs are still struggling to finish in the best position.
At least that was all they hoped for and when the previous 2 defeats actually felt awkward when they said they were focused but after that they returned to their performance by successfully scoring 2 wins in their last 2 matches this time.
But seeing the red card this week for Lens is actually a blessing for them because I'm pretty sure when they play with the same number of players this big is difficult to happen with PSG who are still a little bit not good for their attack line.

With PSG missing out on the Champions League platform, their only target now is the Ligue 1 title. Although PSG's performance in the two matches was poor, I am sure they will win the title. And they proved their mettle in the win against Lens.
Lens and Marseille are competing for the title with PSG. The lens is now 9 points behind PSG and Marseille is 8 points behind. I don't think it is possible for these teams to narrow the gap to 8/9 points. This season's Ligue 1 champions will be PSG. And I think PSG's points gap with other teams will increase in the upcoming matches.
maybe in yesterday's match if the Lens player didn't get a red card maybe the score would have been different. because we know that it is impossible for Lens to play well when only 10 players are very difficult to beat PSG.
while the red card for the Lens player made PSG players have a gap to get more goals and get more points and gave a point distance that was a bit far from the team under PSG.
I think it's difficult for Lens and Marseille to catch PSG's points. because PSG still has mainstay players like Messi and Mbappe who can make this PSG team a winner in league 1.

I think the red card was fair enough and the referee was right about the red card but Lens aren't lucky because they had to play with players less than PSG for more than 80 minutes, this can be even harder if you consider they are playing against a team with many superstar players like Messi and Mbappe, but if they were playing with the full team maybe they had a good chance to even beat PSG.


@Balik currently there’s no way I see PSG losing the top spot now, but in between I had felt that they would have a tough time staying on the top but now it’s clear that they’ll comfortably win the league title. However I won’t call this a massive victory because their lead is barely of 8 points, and it’s pretty low because with their squad they should have a higher lead as this league is pretty easy when compared to other leagues.

Manchester United will have risk at Sevilla home stadium while AS Roma will play at their home stadium Olimpico. Even with a home stadium behind, Roma will face with a very strong team with good form recently. In Netherlands, Roma did not play too bad and it would be fair if that match ends as a draw. Anyway Roma already lost it but they will have chance to at least equalize it at home before thinking more.

Manchester United will not have an easy match in Seville even they have better standing in domestic league than Sevilla which are still struggling to fight and exit relegation zone in La Liga.
AS Roma will qualify against Feyenoord, Jose Mourinho have the required strategy to use in the game and his players will adapt sooner to his call. Big questionable game against Sevilla and Manchester united. Ofcourse it's one of the tough game in Europa, witnessing Sevilla recording a draw tie against united in Old Trafford was something the fans couldn't take in, they blame the players for reluctancy and Erik Ten Hag making wrong changes because most of his key players becomes injured. Sevilla not having one of the good moments this season, but they don't always give in easily for united, let's wait patiently for the game.
As Roma will host when they meet Feyenoord, and I think looking at H2H it looks like Roma will have the upper hand and have a chance to win the upcoming game or at least be able to end in a draw.
because these two teams, like Feyenoord, are also one of the strong teams for As Roma. From the previous game, Roma were defeated by Feyenoord at home.
well, from here I can say that Roma are more dominant in the match to come.

for Man United to host Sevilla, it will be burdensome for MU when they have never won a match when they met Sevilla. I'm not saying that MU is bad, but somehow MU always experiences oddities when their performance goes bad against Sevilla.
and this upcoming match my prediction will end in a draw or that Sevilla will win this match.

@len01 I believe that Roma shall win and be able to progress to the next round, but it’ll be a big disappointment if they crash out at this stage. Also Manchester United have a very big task on their hand after blowing their lead in the last fixture, and I have a bad feeling that they’ll probably crash out because Sevilla just loves winning this competition hence I feel that they’ll prevail once more and progress to the next round.

Napoli created many opportunities in a second leg but they just were lack of accuracy for their shots. Missing a penalty is bad but if they can score goals from other opportunities, the aggregated result would be very different.
AC Milan also missed penalty.

What that matters is quality, not quantity. Napoli had 13 shots while AC Milan had just 5. Among the 13 shots by Napoli, just 4 were on target. Among the 5 shots had by AC Milan, 4 were on target. Which only means that it is Napoli home but AC Milan still played very well. Although the two clubs are both from Seria A, unlike if they are both from two different countries entirely which could make away matches more difficult.

Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge Stadium in the UEFA Champions League Round of 8 Second League match. The match of the second league seems to have copied the match of the first league exactly. 
Chelsea is just a bonus for punters, we all know where this is going to end and it was the main bet of today. Chelsea tried to reach this far, but we all know that the club is becoming poor in playing. All I am hoping is not to see the worst of Chelsea.

@Oshosondy AC Milan performance has stunned me personally, because I was expecting Napoli to do a comeback and win this match. Also as I had said earlier that Chelsea were bound to lose all their remaining game’s, hence I’m not surprised to see them lose and I believe that in a week or two they’ll sack Lampard and blame him but honestly I’ll blame Todd for not knowing how to run a big club like Chelsea.

Royal Challengers Bangalore batted very well in the match but due to poor performance in bowling Chennai Super Kings managed to score so many runs. If Chennai Super Kings team batsmen could have taken good wickets early then there would not have been so many runs in the match. But Chennai Super Kings team batsmen like  Played well in batting as well as good performance in bowling to win the match very easily. The game saw a lot of hard fighting between the two teams.

You can't blame bowlers, especially if you are playing on batting friendly pitch. If you tell Royal Challengers Bangalore's bowlers were poor with their performance, you should also tell the same thing for Chennai Super Kings bowlers. Look at the difference. It's only eight runs. All credit goes to both team batters! Siraj Bowled well from the Chennai side. On the other side, Tushar Deshpande, took three wickets even though he conceded 45 runs.

Cricket lovers like to watch high scoring matches like this. Conway, Rahane, Dube smashed RCB bowlers and they were helpless. du plessis and Glenn Maxwell tried their best they were unable to say till the end. The result could be different if one of them could stick around.

@John Abraham it was an entertaining match, and on pitches like these the bowler's can’t do much hence no point in faulting them because they did try their best but it just wasn’t enough. Also I felt that RCB could go on to win it, but in the end they felt short by just 8 runs however I’m not upset because as a fan I got all the entertainment that I had wished for.

ICC and some of the Asian boards started giving importance to women's cricket only recently. Other sports bodies such as the FIH and FIFA were much ahead of them. Anyway, better late than never. Women's cricket will never be able to match the popularity and revenues from the men's game, but it is important in terms of acceptance from the governments and other global bodies such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC). At least now, we can say that the ICC is moving in the right direction, although they may be a few decades behind the other sports bodies.

In cricket only Australia, England and New Zealand were paying attention to there women team. Very recently we saw BCCI also joining in and promoting women cricket by launching Women IPL. Outside South Asia popularity of cricket is not very hight, so women cricket will take time before it attracts adequate viewership.


@WatChe ICC only listens to the big 4, and since all of them had a growing audience that wanted to watch more woman’s cricket they finally decided to step up their efforts for the same. @Sithra007 BCCI saw that there was a nice opportunity to milk money out of woman’s cricket and that’s why they finally launched WIPL, but it’ll take a very long time before WIPL generate revenues like IPL does.
