They are in the finals.
And you are right Japan is no joke and should not be taken lightly.
Qatar is on a roll and have not been scored on in the tournament yet.
This being said it is more than likely they will be scored on and might even cause them to lose the match.
If Japan can score on them early enough they will panic and not concentrate on scoring but defending which will cost them the finals.

Any prediction on the Tottenham hot spurs game?
With Harry Kane out with an ankle injury and Dele Alli with a hamstring.
They will have Son heung min back from the asian cup s.korean team and Moussa Sissoko returning in this match against watford.

I think he got the fine because Lebron is in on the whole thing of persuading him to come to LA so he can have another big man on the team with some muscle just like what the warriors did with boogie cousins.
And the league doesnt want Lebron to making it look like he runs the league and to put him in check so to not get his way.
It is all politics.
It was funny listening to the La game against Phila last night. The announcers were dropping hints of Anthony Davis and the trade but were not wanting to cross the line with what they were saying.
One comment was he would just not pay the agent who leaked his wanting a trade for two months and recoup his money back from the fine. And another was he would declare it as a tax write off.

With no lebron nobody really. Rondo could but he was on the bench for so long.
Except if they expect Ingram to step up and lead this team which is not going to happen this season. He is still to young in this league and they already tried it last week when Rondo wasnt in the lineup.

*just while I posted lakers go on a 15-0 run.
Phila lead is down to 8 points.

Lakers are shooting like crap and Mcgee just missed a dunk.
Butler is killing them on his own with those two steals and drives to the lane for lay ups.
The -7.5 is looking like it will hit.
I took -9.5 and sportsbook took it off live betting for some reason.
I think they dont want to be paying out alot of people who are betting on the game with the -10.5 available.
Hah!

Davis got fined $50k for making it public by his agent he wanted out of the pelicans.
That is alot for just a tweet.
Hardens streak ends tonight with a defeat from those pelicans.
From when I turned off the tv he had 27 points and only a minute and a half left to go.

Since stadus is back and gave his pick for todays last nba game of the day.
I'll say go with that instead.
Looks like rockets will be making it a tight one with the last quarter left and they are behind by 2 points.

Where is OP for his picks for today?
Did he take a break for a bit to gather from the last loss?

I will predict for today Houston vs N.O Pelicans
Houston -7.5 points

Since the pelicans are in talks with the Davis not resigning with the team before the trade deadline next month.
So their heads will not be in the game cause of all the controversy swirling the team and their star player.
Where will their leadership come from now?
This will give the rockets the advantage tonight and Harden wants to keep his 30+ point a game streak alive.

I dont know how man. utd made those goals within 7 minutes of the match cause as you said the burnley goalkeeper played very good and stopped those poor shots on goal from them all match long.

How in the heck did Manchester united score two goals. They were down the entire match and Burnley was up 2 goals at 83 minutes into the second half. The man. utd shots on goal were the worst up until this point.

They havent put Ozil in the starting line up in ages so they are looking to win this match and take it early.
Hope they can win it and have a clean sheet against cardiff city.
Just surprised to see Manchester city already scoring already 5 minutes into the match.
They are really trying to catch up ground on the table against liverpool.

If there was something good to comeout of the results of cryptocurrency in 2018 it was the exposure of what bitmain was doing with its mining facility and equipment. That was just not right.
Atleast companies like bloqlabs are looking to improve on mining with increasing hashrate and not just being greedy with it.

It is looking this way from scoring 4 goals on the UAE team which was just like the Japan game with Iran for a cleansheet.
And to top things off UAE gets a red card in the last minute of the match for a pass crossing the midfield line which was weird to say the least. They had to use VAR for it and then Qatar scores their last goal in injury time.
Their dream of being in the finals is complete.

Their odds to hold up the trophy before todays game was 4.35 odds so I dont think they will be near the same odds to be against Japan. But todays odds of 2.28 on the lines I was looking at before todays game was very nice but I went for over on goals and hit for better odds at 3.25x.

Yeah. Nobody seen Japan scoring so many goals against Iran.
Qatar are a good team and can score when they are doing and feeling good.
They did score 6 against a Korea DPR team with 0 by them.

I would of liked to see the odds of them to win it when they were down by 25 points. Must of been over 14.25x odds on live betting being in memphis and being down by this much since the beginning.
It was the hardest 1.4x odds I ever had on a betslip before and thought it lost at the end of the first quarter.

What did I just watch!? The Denver nuggets were down 25 points going into the 4th quarter and managed to come back and win the game.

The last time they did something similar to this was back in 1981 and it was down by 21 points to win.
The Memphis grizzlies were up in the first quarter 35 to 17 and I thought it was their game forsure watching all the misses and turnovers Denver were making through out the whole game.
Nuggets sat out Murray as I saw him on the bench in a suit so they had the joker Jokic as the leader this night and even he stunk for the first half and only started scoring in the second half with 5 points and got 16 points in the entire 3rd quarter.

LA Laker and Lebron would want him but it will cost them Zo, Kuzma and more

I was certain Djokovic was going to win but in straight sets the odds werent that great either. Think they were just over 3.5x and to risk any amount on a finals would of been careless to do since their opponent would be putting up a fight to even win one of the sets. But Nadal didnt have any solution in doing this for some reason.
As the announcer said "There are no excuses!" for Nadal this time.
He was simply out matched and out played. Well done Nole!
Now Djokovic is 2 championships away from Nadals all time of 17 major final wins and 20 for Federer.

Nadal couldnt do it against an injured Federer as I remember when he came back from the medical timeout he was amazing and had his second wind to win the match.
I believe Nole will have an easy one against Nadal as he is a foxy player that turns it up another level in the finals and this time he wants to keep his number 1 spot on the circuit.
Noleeeee!

The celtics always have a hard time closing out their games.
They lost by 4 points cause they tried to get the win instead of the tie when they were down by 2 points.
Now the warriors are on a 10 game winning streak and celtics winning home record streak of 10 has ended.
