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.

I heard that he extended his contract with Real until 2027 so it is obvious that he is staying. But I would like him to concentrate more on football and not on racists (even if there are a lot of them in the football environment) - after all, he cannot change them and why waste energy on them if he needs to concentrate on football? He needs to accept the fact that any star football player lives his whole life under enormous pressure from haters and learn not to pay attention to it.

Yes, there are chances, but it’s quite funny (how low United have fallen) that bookmakers see this event as a complete random event:

To Qualify From Group A - Manchester United

Yes 1.80

No 1.90

By the way, I would rather bet on No, since there is a possibility that the players are trying to get rid of Ten Hag and deliberately play poorly/lose. This theory cannot be confirmed or refuted, but it happens quite often in football.

I don't think so. They don't have anything even close. Mourinho could be very tough with players (this is justified when a player gets impudent), but he tried to find an individual approach to everyone and was a great diplomat and psychologist. I watched a lot of his interviews and interviews with those whom he coached, and all these points are revealed there. Ten Hag only cares about his image as the "top boss" and not about normal cooperation with the players. This is the approach of a provincial coach who has no place in a top club. In small clubs with young players this might work, but not in big clubs.

Exactly! Plus Sneijder, Forlan and others who in different years were stronger than Messi, but they did not receive a prize, but he did. That's right - Messi is an ordinary player who was promoted by corrupt officials.
It’s good that you talked about reality, because it was in reality that Xavi and Iniesta won the World Cup and two European Championships in just 4 years (a legendary achievement) and Messi failed without them.


Yes, yes, you can repeat all this many times, but why can’t you explain what happened in the period 2008-2012? Xavi, Iniesta and Messi have the same achievements at the club level, and are absolutely cosmically different at the national team level. At the same time, Messi collected all the awards even though he was monstrously worse than Iniesta and Xavi.


Better yet, ask what his contribution to PSG is  PSG before Messi: semi-finals and finals of the Champions League, and with Messi, elimination in the 1/8 two years in a row. But they will tell you how many assists he made in the game with Claremont 

I wouldn't say United are playing inconsistently. For example, now they are losing the second match in a row with a score of 0-3. Quite consistent  The problem is that, after all, Copenhagen and Galatasaray are either equal to United or weaker, so in these pairs there can really be any result. As for the final game in the group stage, I don’t think that Bayern will play weaker than usual - they are disciplined and they have a tradition of winning all the games in the group stage, regardless of the significance of the tournament.

Hmm... have you completely come to terms with the fact that United is a team from the middle/basement of the standings and even such upstarts (even with prospects) like Newcastle should butcher United? I don’t even know what to say in this case. Maybe it's time to change the head coach, and not "accept the new realities" in which United is a garbage dump.

Вот и поговорили 
Но на ваш вопрос все-таки отвечу, да объяснять нужно, особенно если уже об этом идет дискуссия, а закатывание глаз и пидарское манерное "ой а что надо объяснять" свидетельствует лишь о том что вы долбоеб и тот отзыв который оставил в вашем трасте DarkStar_ на 100% точен.

You described an absolutely correct algorithm for how the winner is determined in title fights, but I would not say that the conclusion “everything is fair” is logical. I would say that this is a dirty business (where big brands are needed and not justice) so we have what we have.


Perhaps Fury wants to catch a boar pumped full of nandrolone again and eat it whole  Therefore, he will delay the fight with Usik as long as possible.

Я так понимаю вы на совковые штампы опираетесь в своих голословных (надеюсь пока что) утверждениях?  
Даже в вики термин "тэтчеризм" подтверждает именно мою точку зрения, если у вас есть какие-то иные интерпретации или у вас свое мнение насчет этого термина, то с удовольствием ознакомлюсь.

It seems that United started the match actively, but Newcastle have a coach, so they played smart and the result is as they say on the scoreboard. It’s unlikely that anything will change in the second half, so the only thing I’m looking forward to is listening to Ten Hag’s next excuses. By the way, before the game he said something about “last chance” and the like, trying to cheer up the team  

On the one hand, Vinny is right and maybe La Liga needs to be tougher with aggressive fans who make racist chants in stadiums (what are the damn stewards doing? Why don’t they identify these people?). But on the other hand, it seems to me that he needs to understand certain facts: if they want to insult you (fans of another team want this), then they will cling to anything and racism has nothing to do with it at all. If he was a believer, he could be insulted on religious topics, if he was gay, then on sexual topics, etc. Paradoxically, racist slurs do not indicate racism.

Theoretically, it may even be that Milan will win the remaining three games and are guaranteed to advance to the 1/8, but practically for the upcoming match the bookmakers give the following quotes:

3.05 - 3.45 - 2.34

And I am inclined to agree with them. PSG failed once against Newcastle, but they beat Dortmund comfortably and destroyed Milan at home. I don’t remember any success for Milan this season at all (not against small clubs), they can’t even score goals. There is always room for fluctuations, but even here I think PSG will win.

I don’t know how close Ten Hag is to being fired (but I hope that he is close), but those who know something and are ready to answer for their knowledge with money (bookmakers) accept bets on this event with odds of 9 to 1. Unfortunately, this means that for now it is not a very likely event. There may be an additional factor in Ten Hag's favor in that if United decide to sack him they will have to pay him 15 million in compensation.

Думаю Тетчэр имела ввиду лишь то, что нехрен охуевать и противопоставлять государство и налогоплательщиков так как в нормальных странах государство это и есть налогоплательщики/инструмент который представляет их интересы.
Но в папуасиях всё иначе естесвенно, сам понятийный аппарат другой.


Самое смешное в том, что вы ошибаетесь. Читаем про такую вещь как вексель. Даже в  рфии (не знаю как сейчас когда уже изнасиловали все законы), в свободные времена вексельное право было на уровне, что кстати порождало довольно интересные дискуссии на форумах на тему "частные деньги vs государственные" еще до битка.

Yes, these odds look quite generous considering that Atlético is on par with Real Madrid and Girona. I think the point is that this is an away game, plus Las Palmas is extremely strong in defense = they conceded only 10 goals (they are third in the league by this indicator). Maybe the bookmakers think that this game is more likely to end with a score of 0-0 than a victory for Atlético.

Friend, did you spend some time in prison without the Internet? What you wrote looks like a malicious mockery of Messi’s “achievements.” Here are some small facts (which I’m already tired of writing about): in the period 2008-2012, Xavi and Iniesta won at the club level everything that Messi won + the World Cup + 2 European Championships. At this time, Messi completely failed without them at the 2010 World Cup and was an ordinary player at the 2011 Copa America. But during this period, Messi received 4 Ballon d'Ors, and Xavi and Iniesta zero  

Messi as a brand is a PR product, but as a person he is simply a thief, as an athlete he is good, but far from the top.

Great news! Thank you! By the way, I think it will be quite difficult to get into the top 5 since it coincided, but in this round almost all the pairs are very even and the result will be as random as possible. The only bets that look reliable are Leipzig and Bayer, but even here there is a catch since these are away games, plus will Bayer really remain unbeaten for that long?

He scares me. He has already earned three yellow caps and if he had not forgotten to make predictions, he would already be in first place  How can you make two predictions on a 2-2 score and get 7 points? I have no words. If he doesn’t change his averages, then in about 3-4 rounds he will be at the top. I would like to know how one can predict such a random league so confidently.

All these are words, but in fact Messi without Barcelona is an ordinary average player. If you watch football, then you must have heard about Iniesta, Xavi and others who were consistently better than Messi (and achieved the greatest achievements without him, while he failed without them) but did not win a single Ballon d'Or.
And yes, one thing most bright is always memorable, Messi was good, but one of the brightest “threads” in his career was being a favorite of football officials (you understand what kind of scum these are, you follow football, hehe?) and a thief.
