I don't know if it was only Barcelona's fault that Messi had to leave in the end. If it wasn't for the money, he could have signed another contract with Barcelona, right? Or at another club and then let themselves be rented out to Barcelona, for example. The point is that Messi is playing in a world team that is favorite to win the CL that Ronaldo is on the reserve bench and not even allowed to participate in the CL. He had imagined his career differently. It is true that Ronaldo has won the CL 3 times in a row with Real Madrid, I don't see Messi doing that with PSG anymore. Bookmakers also change their mind pretty quickly. Before the start of the season PSG was not even the favorite, now it is, in my opinion even above City.

Juventus is considerably in the corner where the blows fall. And if you're in that, then everything is really against it. Juventus will have to weather this storm for a while and hope that things will get better soon. Pogba is a player who can make the whole team play better and can be of great value, but now it is of little use to them due to his injury. There are few other players at Juventus who can take the team by the hand. They don't have a real top striker either, and it would have made a difference if they could have attracted Depay. I don't understand why they didn't get a real striker. The vanguard is not bad but you need someone like Mbappe or Ronaldo. There were still plenty of attackers for sale.

Ronaldo is not going anywhere for the time being. I think all he cares about is the money. Why else would he stay at United when he knew he wouldn't be a starting player again? He had the choice of clubs. United are not playing the Champions League this year, there were plenty of clubs he could go to and play CL. Shame to see a great player fade away. I think PSG has made quite an impression so far. In my eyes they are the favorites to win the title and not City.

These are generous odds for Bayern Munich. For a Bayern Munich that is in top form I think you would get 1.15. I think there is good value in this, Bayern now want to restore order and have to win this match convincingly. I predict a simple victory for Bayern, but if Bayern even lose, I am curious what will happen to the coach. He hasn't built up a lot of credit, last year's CL was already bad actually. And with Bayern Munich everyone expects you to easily become champions in the league, at the very least. This lousy start is something to think about.

I don't see Barcelona and Madrid losing points this week either. Both teams are playing well and don't miss a lot. Sometimes they have some trouble pushing through in the first half, but that's why we also have the second half. It is mainly Real Madrid that makes the difference. The Classico is scheduled for October, then we can see where both teams stand in relation to each other. Until then, it could well be that they both win the games until then. Real Madrid are still favorites to win the title, as they have much more experience in their team than Barcelona.

It might be a little slump, but it's something to think about for Bayern Munich. They're off to a bad start, but we shouldn't make it worse than it is. We've only played about 7 games. They usually have a better start, but still time and opportunity to recover. I assume that they will pick themselves up and that they will win a lot after the break. There is no other team that takes a lot of points and runs away at once. Only Dortmund in his good years would be able to do that, but I don't see that happening. If Bayern win 5 times in a row, they are simply 1st again, the leader cannot keep this up. I think Bayern are also mainly concerned with the CL, maybe they have a little underestimation for the competition because they become champions every year so easily.

It all seemed and decided race. Ajax was doing very well in the Champions League and PSV has not even qualified for the CL. We now see that PSV has taken over and it is not so clear anymore. We should also take Feyenoord into account. Ajax is the favorite for the title, but PSV is closer than originally thought. If you become champion with that selection of Ajax, then that is a failure. The budget of Ajax is almost more than the rest of the Eredivisie put together. It is actually the Bayern Munich of the Netherlands, only they have a very bad start and Ajax a reasonable one. I also expect a few things from Twente.

I don't really see any reason why Mbappe would want to go to Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid have won the CL a few times recently, PSG are a better team. And Mbappe's salary can also easily be paid by PSG. Now he plays at the forefront along with Messi and Neymar, isn't that what everyone wants? Benzema will not be happy with the arrival of Mbappe, because he is the number 1 striker there, and Mbappe wants that too. Mbappe is seen as the best striker in the world right now, but as long as PSG don't win the CL it has little value. And what should Mbappe cost? We're talking about 200 million or maybe more.

The nice thing about this competition is that it has indeed become a lot more fun and exciting. In the past AC Milan was lord and master, and then we've had Juventus who have been champions for about 8 years in a row. Now there is much more competition and the top has become much stronger in width. The Serie A used to be a very boring competition to watch, but now there is plenty of spectacle to experience. Juventus has only lost 1 x but has drawn too many times and then the consequences are the same. Who still believes in a title for Juventus right now?

Match of the day is of course Portugal - Spain. Spain has a better team but Portugal is playing at home and Spain also needs to win this match to become first in the group. Spain actually played itself in this situation by losing at home to Switzerland. So now they have to win. I think winning Spain is 50-50. A strong team, but very changeable. I didn't expect that defeat against Spain last weekend at all. They will also attach little value to this match, mainly to look at the form of the team in the run-up to the World Cup in November.

This was a bizarre match. I can't remember seeing such a curious scoreline anywhere lately. If it is 0-0 at half time, you do not expect that the final score will eventually be 3-3. Actually, the chance was quite high that it would only be 1-1 or 0-0, for example. And that Germany also leads 0-2 and leads 3-3 within fifteen minutes is completely unimaginable, of course. fun for the spectators. Tonight we have Portugal Spain, I think that's the match most are looking forward to.

There are a number of potential number 1 players in the world. Alcaraz is the best candidate, but Jack Sinner and Casper Ruud are also close. Frankly, it was also time for the era of Djokovic and Nadal to be dethroned. It is actually unimaginable how long they have been in service with Federer. The last time such a thing happened was with the Americans Pete Sampras And Andre Agassi. There was also a lot of competition back then. If I could point to the new number 1 in the world for the future, it would be the current number 1, Alcaraz. And so young too. Maybe Nadal wants to coach Alcaraz.

I hope these 2 teams make it to the final. That would really be the dream final between the 2 best teams in the world. Both have never won the Cl, but there has also been a lot of bad luck. PSG has also been in the final once, just like Man City. City's defeat to Chelsea in particular was totally unexpected. I don't think we should expect much from Chelsea this season in the CL. They are in bad shape. Liverpool will probably qualify for the next round, but if they were to play against PSG now, they would lose no chance, I suspect. They now have some time to recover. Mane's departure hit them hard and was not well covered.

Turkey eventually even lost 2-1. That will be a nice newspaper article tomorrow I think. France lost without a chance. What are we supposed to think of that result? They haven't even come close to a draw. It is also remarkable how well the Netherlands is doing under Gaal's national coach. Since his arrival, not a single match has been lost and Belgium has now lost 2 times to the Netherlands. Perhaps the Netherlands is the favorite to win this tournament in the final 4 next year. A number of favorites have dropped out, due to defeats and poorly displayed play. I wonder what's going on with England and France. England can even be relegated to the B league.

Many people will probably have missed it, but in league C Faroe Islands are ahead against Turkey with 1-1. That is one of the lowest ranked countries worldwide. Not even semi-pros. This will be a shame if Turkey doesn't win this. And a draw is also quite a let down actually. Maybe Turkey doesn't take it all that seriously and meanwhile we still don't see many goals tonight. France is also still 2-0 behind, so I don't think a win is possible anymore. They will be happy if they pull out another 2-2 draw. You don't go to the World Cup with a good feeling like this.
EDIT: I see Turkey is now 2-0 down. What would be the odds for that?

I once saw the movie 21, then I started to delve a bit into counting cards. not that I've ever done that myself, but I did find it quite fascinating how it was put together. I think that is no longer possible these days, you have a card machine in every casino these days, right? Then it wouldn't be possible at all. Every casino will use that. But if we jump in time, yes I think you can easily get banned to a casino if they know you count cards. However, the question is more whether it is cheating or not?

De Vries has every right to the seat. He also became world champion in F2/F3 and he did the same in the E class. So that's not a cookie cutter. He also managed to finish in the points last time. It is a great start for de Vries to get a permanent seat in F1 next year. I once heard him say that only Verstappen and Hamilton are better in the same car. So he has enough self-confidence and is not afraid to race with the big boys. Nice for motorsport.
I do not know what will happen with Ricciardo. It was a silent season without any success last year.

The title candidates for this year's World Cup in Qatar are not doing well at the Nations League this week. Yesterday Germany already lost to Hungary, and now Spain is also behind against Switzerland. They don't have a bad team. For those with a Dejavu, in 2010 Spain also lost in the first match of the 2010 World Cup to Switzerland and then became world champions. This Spain should be able to brush away this 0-1 deficit in the 2nd half. 0-1 final score would be a let down.

I think there are a lot of answers that have nothing to do with the OP's question at all. He wants to know what the alternatives are, then you end up on gambling sites that I think use the same software? There are quite a lot of them, such as 1xbet for example, but as far as I can see that all sites that do not accept crypto or at least also have many restrictions on the site because a number of countries are no longer allowed to play. The platform of 1xbit has by far the largest offering of all gambling sites. Both live and prematch and the casino offer is huge.

It's still good what Murray shows. It's a shame that his hip went wrong then. He was actually the only man who could make it difficult for Nadal, Djokovic and Federer. The rest didn't make it. He will continue to play tennis and keep trying, but we will never see the old Murray again. I also don't quite understand why he still plays the tournaments, it must be very frustrating to lose against opponents that you won with 2 fingers in your nose a few years ago. Maybe he just likes tennis too much to stop right now. Age also counts a bit. Maybe he should focus on doubles with his brother?
