It always surprises me when Zidane's name appears in such rumors. He has already said 100 times that he will not go to the Premier League, and even made up funny excuses like “I don’t know English.” In addition, from his behavior it is clear that he is ready to take on coaching only a top club in which at least titles within the national championship will be guaranteed. He will never go to a crisis club that is very similar not to a top club but to a club at a lower level.

It looks like you are the most optimistic United fan not only on this forum but in general! From what I see in the news regarding the sale of part of United to Radcliffe, I can suggest that now everyone in the club is most thinking about what consequences this will entail (the new co-owner may have a different policy regarding many issues). In such conditions, everyone is busy protecting their personal interests and not the affairs of the club as a sports project (purely my proposal).

I am not a fan of draconian measures, since we have all already seen how broadly the concept of racism or any other action can be interpreted (when, quite recently, you could be declared a terrorist for not wearing a medical mask).
The most correct strategy for Vinnie is to first make a great name for himself in football and then engage in political activism if he wants. It seems to me unproductive to work on two fronts.

Локально это "люди - новая нефть". Ну а глобально это самоподдерживающаяся обратная связь: дебилы чиновники создают проблемы чтобы потом их решать (естественно в виде бесконечного процесса, а не сделал дело и "ну все я больше не нужен, должность можно сокращать). Поэтому количество чиновников всегда и везде растет.

Well... in fact, the logic here is not as straightforward as it might seem. Haaland had the best season last season (which is confirmed by statistics) and achieved the treble, but did not receive the Ballon d'Or. Mbappe, in turn, has been the World Champion for a long time and already has phenomenal statistics at two similar tournaments in a row, but he also did not receive the coveted award.
I agree that Mbappe should not be afraid of competition and should go to Real Madrid, but as we see in achieving PR awards, logic does not always work.

Did you mean Inter and Juventus? It seems to me that you are wrong to call Inter Intermilan sometimes this causes confusion.
Juventus' odds look unfair, I agree with that. Juventus can honestly be called an underdog relative to Inter, but the difference is definitely not twofold as you might think now if you look at the quotes.

I’m not afraid of the amount of money in this industry because if you take the amount of money in the alcohol industry or even the bread industry, there will be billions a day. The percentage of people involved in this scares me, it even looks unreal. I knew several addicted gamblers, but the acute period of their addiction lasted no more than a few years. I don’t think Nigerians are special people who can spend their money on gambling for years and never end up with it. But if you believe these statistics, then this is exactly the case.

FIFA should not be called, they should be paid  Saudis have more money and, most importantly, the ability to manage it in various murky schemes, while in Europe there is always a risk that the information will become public and, at the very least, there will be a scandal. By the way, will this also be a winter World Cup? In general, 2034 now looks like a cosmically distant year; now it’s even difficult to imagine who the top players will be by that time (but Messi will receive the Balloon d'Or by inertia).

Mainz are in last place in the standings and have zero wins. After the respectable 9th place they finished last season, this is an obvious disaster and a reason to radically change something. Yes, I also think that the contract with the club was terminated by mutual agreement and naturally they made some payments to him. In general, everyone saved face in this situation. For the game with Leipzig, I predict 3-1 in favor of Leipzig, after all, the dismissal of the manager should not greatly change the balance of power in this pair.

Как всегда есть маленькое "если"  
Ну пусть следак смотрит в блокчейн (   ), видит там что с адреса А крипта украдена на адрес Б (который принадлежит гражданину Сидорову) и далее переведена в миксер где ее следы затерялись. Где здесь доказательства? М? Гражданин Сидоров говорит что да, адрес Б принадлежит мне, но вон ту транзу с ворованными деньгами я не совершал, идите нахуй.
И в цивильной стране следак идёт нахуй ибо в нормальном суде нужны реальные доказательства, а не "ну а кто же ещё если не он, я в блокчейне видел!" которые можно получить только в результате оперативно-сыскной деятельности на которую тоже должно быть разрешение суда/прокуратуры плюс соответствие закону о полиции (я надеюсь вы в курсе что следаки должны действовать в соответствии с законными алгоритмами, а не сталкерить кого угодно по своему желанию?).

Stop lying, I’m not writing about one year (or tournament) when everything can be attributed to randomness. There is a whole period from 2008-2012 when Xavi and Iniesta achieved their greatest achievement - two European Champion titles in a row and a World Cup. Can you name teams that achieved the same? This is the real magic and legendary achievement and breaking of records.

At the same time, Messi failed at the World Cup and was an ordinary player at the America's Cup, you can come up with different excuses but these are simple facts.
Thus, during this period, both Xavi and Iniesta were 1000 times better than Messi, but they received zero Ballon d'Or, and he received 4  


These stories have already been discussed here: when the team won, it was Messi’s merit, when it lost, it was not Messi’s fault   Cool story.


You can write all the stories and absurdities you want, but you can’t escape the facts: Xavi and Iniesta did great without Messi and achieved a legendary achievement, but without them he first failed, and then could not be above average. I suppose now you will write anything about any other year but will you ignore 2008-2012?  


In a team sport it is very difficult to separate the team from the individual, but here is a rare case when this is possible: everyone we are talking about played in the same club, but in different national teams. And the fact is that without Xavi and Iniesta, Messi was just a gray player, did not stand out at all, while Xavi and Iniesta achieved something legendary.

And that's not all: Messi had phenomenal goal statistics in those years while playing for Barcelona, he scored something like 80% of the club's goals +- and scored almost a goal per game. Seems incredible, right? (I'm speaking as a Messi fan haha). But the most incredible thing (for Messi fans) is that he was completely replaceable.

Villa scored 5 goals in 7 games at the 2010 World Cup (first place in the list of scorers). At the 2008 European Championship, Villa scored 4 goals in 6 games (sole first place in the list of scorers). If we take the qualifying rounds for the World Cup and the European Championship, Villa has stats of 18 goals in 21 games.

Does this statistic remind you of anything?   Whose merit here do you think is greater: Xavi and Iniesta or Villa (who apparently should have received all the Ballon d'Ors in those years)?
Fanboys gives a paradoxical answer to this question: Messi  
But the facts remain facts: Messi was the player that was replaceable by almost a random player.

I haven’t seen the details yet, but it looks like this is a rare case when the coach himself leaves, realizing that he can’t cope. Modern coaches prefer to embarrass themselves until the end and wait until the club itself asks to terminate the contract in order to receive a penalty for early termination. The next game against Leipzig will be interesting, usually a resignation has a serious impact on the players as they try to prove themselves to the future coach and keep their place in the squad.

I think they were thinking something along the lines of "this guy is an asshole, gets injured often, is undisciplined and lazy, but he is a big brand so even if he appears in 50% of the games, our investment will be worth it." By an evil irony, he almost immediately first received a minor injury and missed the beginning of the season, and then after a couple of indistinct games he received a serious injury that ended the season for him. If we ignore the tragic part for Neymar, then for the Saudis this whole story looks comical. The “margin of risk” they took upon themselves was overcome immediately.

When a third of the population is involved in gambling (and if you take away the children and the elderly who no longer need anything, then this is not a third, but rather half) then it looks like an epidemic. I don't know how bad gambling affects most Nigerians, maybe they have fun responsibly and don't have any problems with gambling, but from the outside it looks terrible.

Yesterday when I saw the news headline “Betis and Getafe scored 12 goals each in the Copa del Rey” I thought: the score is 12-12? What kind of nonsense is this? But it turned out that these were games against other teams and Betis won with a score of 12-1. I was always surprised by such unequal games and always wondered why top teams mostly play the early stages of the tournament with a rotation lineup instead of playing with the main squad and making records like 30-0 

Old times don't play on the field  Now, even with one point more, Juventus is rated worse than Milan:

Inter 1.91

Ac Milan 3.75

Juventus 4.50

I don’t know whether this is correct or not, since Milan has actual bad results in big games, in any case, guessing who will become the champion in Serie A is a dubious activity. By the way, Milan has a very large number of goals conceded (they are the worst in the top 4), I think this is important even despite the fact that Inter scored many of these goals.

Barcelona's big problem is that it loses points in games with outsiders, plus it lost a personal meeting with Real. At least temporarily, Real has eliminated the danger from Barcelona and now everything depends on Real.
As for Atlético, no one takes it seriously because in recent years they have consistently degraded, but in fact now they have equal points with Real (with a different number of games, lost points must be counted) and a won personal meeting.
