Thus, it would be very wrong if Atalanta played optimally with full strength in such an unimportant friendly match. So,don't be surprised if Atalanta are beaten badly by Parma, after all the real match will happen in the new season later, and of  course the results will be very different,and the results in friendly matches can in no way be used as an assessment of the quality of the team for next  season.
Usually a mediocre team will play their best because it is their chance to play against a top team. But I think there are almost no top teams who play their best in friendly matches. There are many top teams who lost to weak teams in pre-season matches. Real Madrid also lost to AC Milan and Barcelona in friendlies. And you are right that Atalanta have an important match in the UEFA Super Cup next Thursday. So it is unlikely that Gasperini will play his first team and aim for victory. I think Gasperini is trying to use the match against Parma as a way to try out various tactics for the match against Real Madrid.
In terms of score, it is quite a striking score for a team that last season managed to become champions in the Europa League, but it should be remembered that this is a friendly match which does not affect them at all, in fact a defeat like this in a friendly match can make them more aware of what is still lacking in their game so that they can evaluate everything to be better in the official competition.

In general, we will always see that some teams do not play to their best strength, because their main focus is not to win but to test how strong their squad depth is. Atalanta are also aware that they will be in the Champions League next season, so they will prepare for it as best they can.
Taking friendly match too serious can lead to the injuries of players in that club and that will affect the team's performance when the real match starts. I think that is one of the reason that you see these big clubs reserving their top players when there is a friendly match because everyone is focused on the upcoming season.

Medicre clubs will always want to bring out the best in their performance because they also want to be happy or proud that they won a big team which is funny because the big teams never took the matches serious. Although, friendly matches are important for the coach to understand how to fix whatever loop holes in his team.

Anyone can give whatever analysis they know but it is very hard to understand the price movement of bitcoin. Initially, after the bitcoin conference which Trump gave a speech on bitcoin and we saw a little pump in price, everyone said that it was Trump so what is causing this dump.

It is good that at this moment one should allow the market to roll and let's just relax and watch the prices that the market will bring to us and those investors that have accumulated little bitcoin should use this opportunity to continue buying because for sure we will hit the bull run soon but no one knows when.

Maybe it will be a little different PSG will learn from their previous mistake where their mistake was setting Mbappe's price too high so that no club dared to recruit this player even though at that time Real Madrid wanted him to replace Karim Benzema if PSG accepted Real Madrid's offer maybe at that time PSG would not have suffered a loss like now where they did not get a penny from the departure of this star player and Real Madrid also benefited greatly from getting the player they were after without having to dig deep into their pockets, and for Nico Williams if he is willing to come here I think PSG will not be careless anymore if his contract is almost up and the player does not want to extend his contract they will set the price according to his quality without seeking excessive profit.
That was a mistake that was quite painful for PSG in the past so PSG must be able to really learn from it when they want to make any decision in terms of buying players and also in releasing players targeted by other teams. Nico Williams is a very suitable player to be targeted by PSG at this time with a fairly reasonable price considering that Nico Williams is a young player and could be able to replace players who have left PSG at the end of last season. In addition, PSG who are trying hard to be able to perform optimally in the UCL competition next season must also get new techniques from their own coach so that PSG is not only a candidate for the Ligue 1 champion, but can also go further in the UCL competition later.
Actually, PSG's goal in pricing Mbappe so expensively is because they don't want to lose the player because Mbappe is a valuable asset for PSG, he is the player who contributes the most to the club, without Mbappe, PSG is likely not as strong in League 1. But the club must also realize that they should not be selfish, Mbappe also wants to experience other experiences with other top clubs, as a result the player does not want to extend his contract and finally he leaves as a free agent. Likewise, if Nico Williams is at PSG, they must understand this player so that the player is more comfortable at the club, PSG must immediately make an agreement with this player if they really want him or immediately complete negotiations with Oshimen, they must move quickly to find a replacement for Mbappe before the season starts soon.
PSG should have been prepared that a day will come when Mbappe will no longer be with them. Not many players like the idea of playing in one league or club all their career. Stuffs like that was more common in the 80s and 90s but not much happening in modern football. They have the opportunity to start afresh and see what their squad performance will be without Mbappe. PSG is a big club in Europe and their are many talents that are willing to play for them. There are so many talents out there that can play more than Mbappe that are yet to be discovered. The loss of Mbappe shouldn't be their downfall, Mbappe gave his all for PSG and it will be selfish for them if  don't want him to pursue his own personal dreams.
I don't think that the exit of Mbappr from PSG will affect their performance in their domestic league to the extent of not winning the league next season. They have being in dominance of the league and thay will not change because they are rich and can afford any player they need to keep their consistency in the league.

It is in UCL that Mbappe absence will be felt by PSG because his contributions means a lot to them last season which made the able to reach the semifinals, but how will they cope next season in UCL. Will we see a smart, sharp and brilliant striker to replace him I guess NO.
844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25 on: August 06, 2024, 05:03:20 PM
Im more interested in Atletico Madrid. I really want them to be a formidable side next season so that La Liga will be more competitive. Madrid have made their signing and look stronger than before. Barcelona have not made any signings yet aside from getting a new Manager. I'm afraid that might not be enough for the upcoming season. They can't go into the season with a team full of academy players. I understand that they need academy players but they also need fresh signings like a RW and a DM.
Next season Real Madrid will still have a chance to win back-to-back champions by winning La Liga. Last season they didn't have a pure striker but they won the league and UCL. This season they have one of the best pure strikers in the world right now. There is no doubt about the quality of El Real's squad this season. But I think Atletico Madrid will be a very tough opponent. They now have Conor Gallagher and he is a box-to-box midfielder that is needed in Atletico's game tactics. Barcelona is still in financial crisis and their failure to recruit Dani Olmo and Nico Williams makes me skeptical and put them in third place as favorites to win.

Even though Real Madrid has a luxurious squad, that doesn't mean it will be easy for Real Madrid to win trophies. Because of course, other teams in LaLiga will also make great efforts to be able to provide tough resistance when they play against Real Madrid later. But even so, I also admit that there are still Barcelona and Atletico, which are usually teams that compete strongly in the top three with Real Madrid. Apart from that, the reality is that they are also very good at making player transfers, especially regarding Atletico compared to Barcelona.

But still, even though Atletico and Barcelona are able to compete strongly in the top three, but in reality it will still be difficult for them to break Real Madrid dominance. Indeed, the transfer of players will probably make Atletico better and stronger next season, but this still doesn't seem to be enough for Atletico to win a trophy by beating Real Madrid. So yes,  for me Real Madrid will still be able to get good results next season, and Real Madrid also always has the chance to get a trophy.
Atletico Madrid was the only club that gave Real Madrid tough time last season but Barcelona was an easy win for Real Madrid. Signing Alvarez from City will strengthen Atletico Madrid the more and they might be able to finish in a better position than last season. I don't think that any of the two clubs you mentioned above will be able to stop Real Madrid next season from winning Laliga because it is a very difficult task for them to achieve. Maybe mission impossible.

Real Madrid current squad should be able to dominate Laliga for two seasons before another club will win it in the third season. Real Madrid is not overhyped but it is reality.

So it is clear that Ten Hag's selfish attitude was the main trigger for his failure to bring Manchester United back to its glory days. Therefore, Ten Hag really has to change his attitude if he really wants to be able to bring Manchester United to become champions. And you are right my friend, that this season will definitely be a defining season for Ten Hag. Because if Ten Hag fails this season, he will definitely be fired from Manchester United's coaching.

I removed some part of your post due to how lengthy it is. I don't think Manchester united management is ready to fire Ten Hang because there is no perfect time to fire him than at the end of last season when clubs who were not satisfied with their couch fire them. Everyone expected to wake up to the news of Ten Hang sack but were all shocked hearing that he will continue as the head couch. He has a very good relationship with the management crew and that's what is keeping him. I quite agree that they have players who have potential but then injury is giving them tough time and Ten Hang on the other hand doesn't know how to make good use of the available ones with his preference and selection.
The injured players was the excuse that Ten Hag used to prove that it was not his fault for the club poor performance last season and he was able to use just one match to convince united management on what he said by winning FA Cup finals which made Manchester united to consider him worthy of giving another chance.

Injuries have started again and Ten Hag should look for a way in which he will be able to manage the players on ground in order to maintain some level of performance and not just losing woefully Luke last season, so that if these injured player are fit again, it can be easy for the team to catch up with other clubs on top four and also finish on top four next season.

Not all casino does that, just as Charles-Tim said in Stake, you have bitcoin option and USDT so it is your choice to gamble with any of them. Your bitcoin value increases with the market price and it does not remain stable but only USDT.

If a gambler wants to gamble on future events, it is better he uses USDT so that he does not feel cheated and whatever amount of money that you have used to stake your bet should be forgotten because it is gone only if you win the bet, and there is no need to worry yourself about the value of a lost money. If you care about the value then don't gamble with it and keep it in your private wallet for profits.

It is simply pure stupidity to criticize Harry Kane for not securing championships at Bayern Munich. In 45 games, the guy scored 44 goals and had 12 assists. That is insane! Soccer is about the whole team; it is not a one-man exhibition. If the rest of the team isn't clicking, Kane cannot win the trophy by himself. And it's the team that didn't prepare it properly

Not solely Kane's responsibility; Bayern Munich has lately experienced some problems. The team has to decide on its tatics and approach as well as maybe bring in a fresh manager. One could find the solution in Vincent Kompany. He is an excellent coach; he may be the one to enable Bayern Munich to once more be glorious

Let's be nice to Kane. He is performing at world class and is doing all he can. It is the team that has to get moving to help him

The fact that Bayern didn't win a title is definitely not Kane's fault. As you wrote, he scored a lot of goals and actually did his job well. Bayern Munich had a lot of injured players last season and constantly had problems because of that. I'm sure that they have a very good chance of winning a title this year, at least in the German Bundesliga, but winning the CL will be difficult.
Although many people think that the curse on Harry Kane continues to apply wherever he plays in a big club, whether it is true or not, many people believe that it always happens to Harry Kane. Honestly, I am not so convinced by the curse. I hope Harry Kane can prove to everyone that he can win the German Bundesliga title this season. If we talk about the Champions League, nothing is impossible for a club like Bayern Munich, even the smallest club can do it if luck is on their side. Even though many clubs have the most expensive players, if there is no luck, it is useless to have expensive players.
I agree with you on everything that you said about luck but the problem now is that the only team with such luck is Real Madrid and no other club again. The reason why I said so is because if you watch out Real Madrid in their group stage matches, they hardly take it so serious and sometimes they qualify to the round of 16 by luck.

Whenever Real Madrid reaches the finals, they must win it because luck is more on their side in the league than another league or club. The added advantage is that they have world class players who are capable of making their luck to shine.
Real Madrid somehow manages to advance from the Champions League groups. This is usually because they play very well. They are not a team that has a lot of luck in advancing to the next round. I liked Real Madrid a lot and they have been even better this year. I think Real Madrid has the best squad rotation in the world right now. This will show itself even more this year.
Real Madrid is a team that has always kept to its standard since onset till date and that is why you see that they are dominating European football because their squad is always in a good form. Of course, their current squad is the hottest in the world and I don't think that anyone can stop them from achieving the title again next season.

Real Madrid is bigger than not qualifying from the group stage and I don't think it will happen soon because the management is more concerned on UCL and that is why if Real Madrid coach is unable to win UCL for two seasons, he will be fired

It's not the first time Real Madrid are having world class players, it has always been their thing. But I've seen in many cases where they encounter difficult games in the champions League. when Ronaldo, Alonso, Sergio Ramos, Gonzalo Higuain and other world class Real Madrid players who where still in their prime, I remember losing on penalties against Bayern Munich and they where sent them home, the special one Jose Mourinho was even their manager as at then.
So it's not always about the world class players, there are other teams that can come up without world class players and have tactical strength to defeat a strong opponent like Madrid, and a very good examples of such teams at the moment are borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and inter Milan, others might even spring up this coming season. Tactical strength plays the stronger role than luck, because sometimes you can run out of luck as a team.
I have never said that Real Madrid won all their Champions League matches but I said that they always have the luck of winning their finals and you can check history on this and that is why they are the ones that have won it most because they have never lost their finals. You should not also forget that Bayern Munich is a strong team when it comes to UCL forget that they have little decline in performance recently.

Real Madrid can be kicked out in the other stages but not in a group stage and not in finals. So many clubs have kicked out Real Madrid in other stages which was what Manchester City did to them in the semifinals. All my points are the reason why I said they are the luckiest in UCL and no other club can be as lucky as they are because luck brings win.

Exercise is good for those who are sitting long at work because there must be side effects. This is one of the reason why I use both my phone and my laptop to gamble because sometimes I would love to change positions and postures when using my phone.

Gambling should not be done frequently especially when you are stressed up yourself at work, you should rest and stretch your body to avoid future health issues. Have a time limit for your gambling activities during the week days and weekends.

Arsenal finally gave up on getting the Newcastle United striker because their offer was rejected, or in other words, Newcastle didn't want to sell him. I think that the improvement in Isak's quality has attracted a lot of attention, but it's a shame that Arteta's target has failed.
For Eddie, of course he wants to keep Isak together because they have a big target this season to be able to compete again at the top of the standings.
So for the Gunners, of course they want to improve their front line because they need an attacker who can score lots of goals to bring them to victory in every match.
It's obvious this will be the right thing for any team who are really ready to compete they can't sell their main man, he is among their key success though was affected by injuries  woe last season but his impact is always felt when he is on the pitch.
Also I wonder why Arsenal thought they may get him because it's obvious Newcastle are not like any other lower club that may be tempted by big money and I guessed Isak can only leave if he wants to which I doubt will be the case here since is love at the club.
Newcastle only found their bearing last two season and they have being in a good performance due to the commitment of the players and the coach. The club is trying to build a strong team and we saw how they were able to qualify to UCL last two seasons.

I don't see any reason why Newcastle will sell Isak, a brilliant attack with great potentials and when he is on the field he contributes tirelessly to add impact on the match. Newcastle is a rich club and I don't think that they have plans of selling any of their main man because they also want to win the title and selling Isak will not be the best for them.

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?
Yes I did it before when I was a newbie. I just want to try my luck, so i'm just guessing who would win. I blindly placed my bet and I condition myself that i'm ready to lose it. But you know, it's not a good idea even you're prepared for the worse. Because why placing bet if you don't have idea on the sports that you're going to bet in? If you can gain knowledge to maximize your chance to win? It's true that luck is a major factor in gambling however in sports you can somehow use your knowledge to choose the right team.
Sportbet require skills for you to enjoy placing your bet on the teams that are playing and if you don't have any knowledge about the two teams playing and you bet on them does not mean that you might lose the game because luck can make you win the game but I will call it a blind bet.

Any gambler that places his bet on a match that he has no idea about should do it for fun and not for profit so that he will not be disappointed on the outcome of his bet. However, if you are doing it for fun if you lose, it will not bother you.

Serie A's prime happened in 2002-2006
La Liga's prime happened in 2008-2017
Premier League's prime happened in 2018-2022
I agree with Serie A and La Liga primes but disagree on Premier League prime. The Champions League title of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City recent seasons are not enough to cover bad performances of other clubs from Premier League. Recent seasons, there are surprising rises from Italian clubs and during same time, clubs from Premier League shown their problems.

Premier League have good clubs, rich and strong but they are still have many things to do for dominating Europe.
La Liga had golden era with domination of Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's impressive but it's hard to repeat by Premier League clubs.
If you look at Premier League clubs currently, it is different from when years back that it use to be the best and strongest league to watch and you can see that in their performance but currently, most of those big clubs like Liverpool, Manchester united and Chelsea have lost their strengths because of some reasons best known to the clubs.

Only Manchester city is keeping to their quality and improving their strength which makes me see that it is only them that can make things happen in European competitions from England, the rest clubs have declined in quality and that is why England clubs are finding it difficult to dominate European competitions currently. Look at the two semifinals in UCL and Europa League non of England clubs was present.

EPL is not competitive anymore and only Arsenal is still keeping to their name as a big club.

So if we as parents share gambling content in front of our children, they will learn and try to apply it. If children expose themselves to gambling from a young age, it is harmful to their developing brain and may even become addictive. So for children to develop properly and beautifully we have to take such steps and eliminate some activities that hinder the development of children.

You know, what you say will happen only with 50/50 probability. They might become addicted, but the same they might not become addicted. One of things that I like to do during free time is reading. I am sure that my kid saw me reading more than once, but no matter how I try, I cant force or raise same interest to reading from him. "Dad, that is boring, I dont want to". That is what I hear. The kid is at the age, when through reading a lot of things can be discovered, Sadly, toys and iPad are main objects of interest right now.
Lolz..i don't think that reading will interest most kids but only few who are naturally born with loving to read their books and you will notice that from when they are very very tender like let me say 2-4 years and above. The reason why I said so is because I have a daughter from 2 years, if I just pick up a book she wants her own book too and up till now she is still like that.

Gambling is different because it doesn't need much seriousness and boring since it is done for fun, so these children have the high chance of gambling when you do it in their front because they will want to copy what they see you doing. It is like smoking and drinking which children loves copying bad habits than good habits.

To new investors and weak hands, this is not the time for panic but a time that bitcoin gives you the opportunity to buy bitcoin in discount because the price is on temporary and will still pump as we are expecting the bull run to kick with price pump soon.

While I agree that PSG doesn't normally aim ligue one because they know that they can get that, and mostly aim UCL and they are looking to get that, I can say that it's clear we are going to end up with them not getting it this year, so they may consider this year as development season maybe? If they keep on rushing to get some players, they will spend way too much money way too quickly and that could lead to making mistakes, but if they take a few more seasons to adjust, then they could make sure that they have all the right players in the team for a chance to get UCL as well.

I feel like in a few seasons Peps contract will end, and he has talked about leaving City before, maybe they could try to get him since he would be a great manager for them.
Paris Saint Germaine already have a fantastic squad that can compete in the biggest competitions and that's why I totally concur with your opinion. Rushing to sign players in other to further boost the team's quality, depth and strength doesn't translate to having a great campaign come next season so like you rightly said, I think it'll be be a good idea to allow the club manager to build the team with the available players at the club. I strongly believe that Paris Saint Germaine under Luis Enrique will succeed because of his wealth of football knowledge so if I'm to advise the club management, I'll suggest they allow the Spanish manager do things his own ways.
Mbappé joining Real Madrid is quite significant. Folks, they are the best squad on Earth. Surely not a question. Real Madrid is the place the little lad wants a Champions League trophy from. Its exactly the match. Recall, this is the team that has won the thing more times than any other. They are a legacy not only a team.

Indeed, Manchester City is excellent. Pep is a fantastic coach; he is hardly a miracle worker though. And they are on still another level with Mbappé on Real Madrid. Though both are good, one is obviously better. So mark me: Real Madrid will rule this season. Everyone other is catching up; they are the team to surpass.
Mbaooe is good world class player and no doubt about that, his presence in Real Madrid will give more confidence to the team and will also scare other teams just as it was when Mbappe was in PSG.

I don't think that PSG will be able to have a replacement like Mbappe in next season and it will be funny to watch Mbappe playing against his former club if Real Madrid dhiukd clash with PSG in UCL next season. City gat everything they need to win their matches but sometimes it does not go down the way we think it would be.

I agree with you. I think it is impossible for a team like Real Madrid to play their best squad in a pre-season match. As far as I remember Barcelona also managed to win against Real Madrid in the previous season. Even though this was El Classico, this match did not give anything. Both teams also played a lot of their young players. I still favor Real Madrid to be the champion this season. They really have a phenomenal team. I think it will be very difficult to stop the dominance of Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham.
If you evaluate teams by their players, then Real Madrid looks stronger now, it's hard to argue with that, but the strength of a team is not always determined by that alone. If there is a team in La Liga that can stand up to Real Madrid, it is Barcelona, ​​Atletico often falls short of competing with them. And while Real Madrid is strengthening its team, Barcelona cannot afford it due to financial problems.
Real Madrid is not just the strongest in Laliga but in Europe and European competitions are the strongest because that is where we get the best clubs all over the world. It will be impossible for Barcelona to improve the performance of their team up to Real Madrid because money is what is used to strengthen a club and not by dreaming. Financial difficulties is a major problem to Barcelona and that must be tackled first before it gets out of hands.

Real Madrid don't bother much about Laliga because their main focus is on UCL and that is where the money is. This was why they were desperately in need to Mbapoe to make sure he is with them and that will enable the club have not to have any barrier of winning their matches next season because he will be scoring goals upon goals.

Victor Osimhen is no longer the most sought-after signing on the transfer market like this time last year. It was Napoli's decline and Osimhen himself. Since playing professionally, the 25-year-old striker's biggest problem has been his ability to contribute regularly. Osimhen is no longer the dangerous threat in the box that he was in the 2022-23 campaign. So clubs are doubting the talent of this player. They are very cautious because they can be cheated with the current price
You are on point on this, if it were to be the season before the just-concluded one, he would have been long gone by now, but instead, Napoli made sure they make him stay and find a way to increase his pay and invariably increase what they can gain on him. But it seems the whole plan has backfired now. I had a premonition about what is happening around him now and I doubted if his feat would be the same the way it was when Napoli won the Scudetto. Victor dropped so much in both performance and moral ratings last season but clubs are still bidding for him, except that the magnitude and offers have reduced..
If Osimhen needs big clubs to rush him, he needs to be patient with himself and focus on improving his performance next season in Napoli so that he can be in the best performance which will attract clubs to him. If he wants to move by all means now, only few clubs might take the risk of signing him and that is if they are so desperate to try him.

Last season was a bad one for Napoli and Osimhen and that is why most clubs are doubting his performance but if he still shines next season better for him and if his performance did not improve to draw attention, he might remain in Napoli for long since he is their golden boy and they want to use him to make money.

Second game of the preseason for Motta this evening.
He has not called for the game Chiesa and Djalo.
These are clear calls of what he wants to do with these 2 players during this season.

The player are now on the market and they will try to sell them before the end of the month.

Seriously i don’t just get it what Thiago Motta is after, he is building a Juventus team which had been in the mud or not been their selfs for the pasts three seasons now and Clearly he needs not just any players but the ones that are ready to stay committed and are experienced and clearly in Italian football today Federico Chiesa is just one of them, I don’t under why he doesn’t want the player and even at worst why he is not giving the player to redeem himself or rather play so that he can get suitors, except there is something internal maybe a issue between the player and the coach this treatment is bad seriously

Since Motta joined Juventus he tried to do his best to improve the team while he also needs to make some changes and it's very normal to see Motta doesn't want to keep some players in the team while he currently made it clear that he doesn't need Federico Chiesa for the next season.
Federico Chiesa should think about his next destination and Juvnetos also put this player for sale while there is one more year from his contract.


Chiesa? It's not just about the money, it's about Juventus losing their damn minds. Chiesa is a great player who has always helped the team. You don't sell a player like that unless you have to, and Juventus may be putting their money problems ahead of football sense. I know Motta has a hard job. But letting Chiesa go just to keep the books in order is a bad sign. It says that prizes are not important to Juventus. It says they don't mind being average as long as they're making money

Juve will look like complete fools if Chiesa ends up somewhere else and rips it up. This is more than just a move; it's a test of how ambitious Juventus is. And they are failing horribly right now
I don't know if it is a personal problem or not between Motta and Chiesa but I doubt if there is any, why will Motta make such decision on Chiesa who is a good player and has a relevant role in the club or is he no longer fit to play in Juventus again.

It seems that Juventus will only be dreaming of winning scudetto because I don't see them making such preparations to win it soon, after Ronaldo left the club their hope of winning the league is decreasing.

It sucks most times when the team you bet on is winning and there is a lengthy extra time, it will look as if the referee is bribed and against your bet because you know the risk involved on such additional time. The worst of it would be if during this excess additional time, the opposite team score on make you lose your bet. You would not accept that the game was on a fair play.

Like what most people said above, when there is delay in the match intentionally or not the referee will add additional time to cover up the wasted time in the match.
