Current standings Group C of UEFA EURO Qualifier, seems Italy on not comfortable position after defeating by England last night make their chance for qualifying to EURO 2024 most difficult. Left three points from Ukraine on second standings position but Italy have more one match left  still not close chance to lead EURO 2024 if can winning all two matches left. England have been success qualify to EURO 2024 after dramatic winning from Italy and become their revenge after losing on EURO 2020 final stage.

Ukraine has last opportunity to qualify EURO 2024 if last match against Italy can get win, its become final match for both teams if want qualify to EURO 2024 in  Germany.



Italy does not have to win two games, they only need to equal the number of points with Ukraine to be ahead - according to the regulations, if the teams have an equal number of points, then the team with the best result in head-to-head matches has priority. Therefore, their task looks quite achievable, but Ukraine has only one option - they need to defeat Italy away.

You can’t even hope that Neymar will quickly heal the injury - he has a serious knee injury and will miss up to six months. It looks like this season is over for him, the question is how much he can recover overall.
Neymar only recently returned from injury in March. The 31-year-old was sidelined for five months after undergoing surgery to treat an ankle ligament injury at PSG. And continuing at the present time, Neymar's injury is a significant blow to Al-Hilal Club's ambitions in the Saudi Pro League. Currently, Al-Hilal is leading the rankings but is only 1 point ahead of second-place team Al-Taawon. If he takes another six months off, his career will be ruined.

I feel very sorry for him, but I was once again convinced that his purchase was a deeply wrong decision. The only club that benefited from this transfer was PSG.

As you said, PSG is the biggest beneficiary of this deal. I see PSG ready to release Neymar's contract without any regrets. Al-Hilal has excess money when they do not consider that Neymar will suffer a chronic injury.

If I'm not mistaken, Neymar managed to play a couple of games for Al-Hilal and made a couple of assists (a rather weak result when playing against weak opponents), plus in one game the referee took pity on him by not giving him a red card for unsportsmanlike behavior. This is all that Al-Hilal received for such huge money. If we are talking about the PR effect, then I would say that it is rather negative - Neymar causes irritation, and when we look at this transfer it simply causes laughter.

Same thing I've been complaining about Eric ten hag, he is full of trial and error, when I noticed this was when he had issues with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo was obviously the best attacker united had that season, he started putting him on the bench, as if he had a better plan, some times he played him towards the end of the match, a player that is capable of turning around the game in your favour. I knew he was doing that to prove a point to Ronaldo, that he is under him his control as a manager, so can do whatever he wants.  David de gea was doing just fine with United, why on earth did he not renew his contract. Ten hag went and brought onana a colossal failure to team. Ten hag needs more learning, United is too big to be managed by a coach that doesn't have foresight.

Maybe United parting ways with Ronaldo was the right move (age and all that) but the way it was done was absolutely unacceptable. Firstly, Ten Hag initially said that he needed Ronaldo and was counting on him, but after such words he kept him on the bench, naturally this led to a scandal. Secondly, Ronaldo is a United legend and in time everyone will remember that one man (Ten Hag) imagined himself to be more than the club and the management did not put him in his place in time. It is obvious that Ten Hag is not ready to coach top clubs. He worries more about his status than normal interaction with players

If Zinedin Zidane has returned to coaching, I think he is the most suitable to replace Carlo Anclotti and Zinedin Zidane is strongest candidate at the moments who will be Real Madrid choice.
Zinedin Zidane is the coach who has the most experience in training big club like Real Madrid and Zinedin Zidane has already made a name for himself his good name at the club so it is not impossible that Real Madrid will recruit him again.
However, if Real Madrid wants to try to recruit another coach, I think the one who is more suitable is Xabi Alonso, but it seem that Xabi Alonso cannot yet coach a big club like Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso still wants to improved his coaching performance while he is still at Leverkusen.

I suspect that Zidane will return to Real again if Real gets Mbappe (or Haaland). After Zidane won the Champions League three times in a row, he definitely doesn’t want to lower the bar, so he’s only waiting for a big project, he can’t lead the French national team because Deschamps gives results, so if Real tries hard, they can convince Zidane next summer. But if, as they say, the sheikhs buy Marseille, then I think that it will end up there.

I don't think Barcelona management will decide  to fire Xavi. Actually I don't see any possibility of that. Take a look back when Koeman was the coach of Barcelona,  I saw the performance of Barcelona. you know Barcelona had a very bad time. Since Xavi took charge of the team, the overall condition of the team has started to  change. Even with the help of Xavi,  Barcelona won La Liga last season.

And if you look throw this season, Barcelona is  playing quite well. Although Barcelona is not at the top of the table. However you can't deny  their performance  is quite good.

So why would the Barcelona management decide to sack Xavi?
I can't find any valid reason for it.

Xavi was lucky to win La Liga (due to the crisis in Real Madrid) but, for example, Barcelona have terrible results in European cups. If we were not talking about a top club with big ambitions, then average results would be acceptable, but Barcelona, despite the financial crisis and the scandal with bribery of referees that continues to develop, still considers itself a top club, so they need better results. At some point, Xavi may be fired due to results or simply because Xavi still hasn't proven that he has a high level of competence.

They are not going to invest that much to bring in good players for the squad. Because simply, if they spend that much there will probably not be able to make that by selling players. So even though right now, it is easy to make money by selling players, if the player has some talent, they are still not taking the risk.

However, it is their business model. They can do whatever they feel like working in favour of them. But they are definitely not going for glory. They are going for the Money. And that is the biggest problem, in my opinion. at least from the perspective of a spectator.

The problem is that, besides Dortmund fans, the entire Bundesliga is suffering - it’s hard to call the league interesting when the champion has not changed for 11 years. But it seems to me that in the coming years everything may change - Bayern is losing its position every year and competition may intensify not due to the fact that everyone else will become stronger, but due to the fact that Bayern will become weaker.

Mbappe has been one of the deadliest strikers for the last two World Cups and he won one of them and finished the one in Qatar as vice world champion. I think calling that nothing serious is wrong.

I absolutely agree that he wasting golden years of his career with PSG because Ligue 1 is not where a player of his level is supposed to play. It was different for Messi because he had his success already and some circumstances led him to play for PSG. But it is not like Mbappe should be blamed for not winning the Champions League. He has proven that he can deliver on the highest levels with 12 goals in two World Cups. I can only hope that he will soon make a decision to leave PSG and finally play in a better league, but here is really only the Premier League that would get the best out of him and maybe La Liga if Barcelona gets back to strength and perhaps Atletico Madrid as well.

Barcelona, Atletico, but not Real?! Did I miss something or did you just forget about Real Madrid, with which negotiations have been going on for a long time and most people assume that Mbappe will move to Real Madrid next summer?
A move to the Premier League, I think, is extremely unlikely since he won’t go to City because of Haaland, and there is no point in moving to another club where the likelihood of a Premier League title will be low.

It has been such an incredible day for me. I wanted to use my free bet on these two matches like this. The odds were quite high but still the betslip won.  Smiley

I got the news of the fourth goal in each one of these matches in the same minute which was really amazing. To be honest I was more doubtful about Serbia - Montenegro because the third and fourth goal came in the last twenty minutes consecutively. I withdrew all the money right after it won as I thought that I used up all my luck on this.  Cheesy

Excellent bet, congratulations) By the way, out of the 21 games that were played during this break for national teams, in 11 games (more than half) the bet on a total of more than 3.5 turned out to be correct. If the odds were similar everywhere (from 3 and above), then we can say that the bookmakers made a serious mistake in their forecasts.

I don't know what else to say, because Neymar has suffered another injury and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher. Neymar suffered an injury during the match between Brazil vs Uruguay which is currently underway and as reported by Fabrizio Romano it seems he has suffered another serious injury. I think whenever and wherever Neymar is he will still be faced with the problems that have caused him to experience a decline in performance in recent years.

In this week's match it is clear that Al-Hilal will not be strengthened by Neymar again and perhaps if he is often absent due to injury, Al-Hilal will also feel disadvantaged because missing Neymar will reduce most people's interest in watching the Saudi league. We can only hope that Neymar can recover quickly from his injury.

You can’t even hope that Neymar will quickly heal the injury - he has a serious knee injury and will miss up to six months. It looks like this season is over for him, the question is how much he can recover overall.

After losing to England (and with expectation that they beat North Macedonia), Italy will now have to play a decider away to Ukraine.
They really complicated their lives in this group, although both of their losses came against the leader of the group.

If I'm calculating correctly, a draw there would be enough - meaning that Italy is still my favorite to qualify from this group.

After North Macedonia knocked Italy out of the World Cup qualifiers and drew the first game with Italy in this qualifier, I would say that the first decisive game will be with North Macedonia  Grin
If you think like this, then in the event of a victory over Italy, North Macedonia still has a game with England (which has already decided its issues), so if North Macedonia takes 6 points in these games, and Ukraine lose to Italy, then North Macedonia will take second place in the group. They definitely have something to fight for.

upd: Hmm... Looks like I'm wrong. By personal meetings, Ukraine will still be higher than North Macedonia.

It would be interesting to see the greatest player of the Champions League again in this tournament and I would say that it is quite simple from the point of view that Portugal has 3 tickets to the Champions League and it should not be a big problem for Sporting to win one. But it seems to me that Ronaldo has other plans, he will play until the very end (without defining any year as his last) in Saudi Arabia and will end his career as soon as he is no longer able to play for the national team.
The passion Ronaldo has for sport has always impressed me. He's eager to move forward even though most athletes his age have already given up. I've been watching his play very carefully, and even though his mobility has decreased, he still has excellent finishing. His superior mentality may be his greatest asset. But I have to wonder about his long-term strategy with Al Nasr. Although it looks like a cozy place, is this the best option? Ronaldo might improve Sporting's potential to qualify for the Champions League. However, after learning about his plans for Euro 2024 and the World Cup in 2026, I believe Ronaldo's pride in his country may take precedence over his club goals. Its contradicting for me as a fan, but I appreciate his decisions

It is unlikely that Sporting has any prospects in the Champions League even if they qualify for it. And if we take into account that in the new format of the Champions League the group stage will be chaos, then I don’t even know if this chaos will be interesting to anyone. In the playoffs there will still be +- the same teams and Sporting will always be the underdog among them.
Ronaldo set the trend for interest in the Saudi League and I think it’s rational to stay here, this league is developing faster than all the others (low base effect) plus with Al-Nassr Ronaldo can claim victory in all competitions, but with Sporting not.

What an overestimation of Azer / underestimation of Austria that turned out to be, haha. To be fair, it was a slim victory for the favourite. I'm not about to give up on the Central Asians yet and I feel like Finland deserves to lose this one, if only because Pukki must be in his golden twilight now?

100 units at Sportsbet on Kazakhstan to WIN vs Finland @8.04. Other odds: 7.80

All-time cumulative: +92,047
Running units after 20 bets (2W|18L): -216 (-100)

Great pick! Gratz  Cool
To be honest, it would never have occurred to me to place this bet (in my opinion, the odds were too small for an away game). I’m probably biased towards teams from Central Asia, but it seems to me that they play weakly in away games, but at home they are stronger than average.

But it seems to me that Ronaldo has other plans, he will play until the very end (without defining any year as his last) in Saudi Arabia and will end his career as soon as he is no longer able to play for the national team.
At his current age, I also think that Al Nasr will indeed be Ronaldo's last club in his football career. Because if he returns to his childhood club (Lisbon), Ronaldo will definitely be older than now and his performance will definitely decline too. Even if he returns to Lisbon, he has the opportunity to appear again in the Champions League, but in my opinion there is not yet a strong enough reason for that. Because in my opinion the possibility of Ronaldo returning to Lisbon is very unlikely. Apart from that, Ronaldo's contract with Al Nasr is still very long until 2025. Several news sites even say that Ronaldo wants to extend his contract with Al Nasr until 2027. So I don't know whether this information is true or not. However, what is certain is that Ronaldo still wants to play at Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup to defend his country, Portugal. So if you see that Ronaldo still wants to buy the Portuguese national team, it means that the main priority in Ronaldo's final career is clearly his country, Portugal. And perhaps club affairs will become less important to Ronaldo in the future. Because if you look at his satisfaction, Ronaldo is definitely quite satisfied with his career so far at several football clubs.

Yes, Ronaldo has no particular reason to return to the European Champions League - his position as the top scorer and best assistant there is unshakable. In the national team, his statistical advantage is also huge, but it’s probably nice to continue improving the record. Ronaldo still has many ambitions and he is trying to realize them. As for the 2026 World Cup, he probably also dreams of increasing his own record (if I remember correctly, he is the only player to score in 5 World Cups).
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 17, 2023, 05:44:01 PM
The current odds for the Ligue 1 title are as follows:

Paris Saint Germain 1.20

As Monaco Fc 11.00

Olympique Marseille 15.00

Everything is clear here and, in my opinion, even 1.20 is a favorable coefficient (at least it looks more reliable and more profitable than depositing in a bank hahaha). I'm talking about PSG's prospects in the Champions League - if they are lucky with their opponents, they can climb very high (like Inter last year or any other team from the "easy" part of the playoffs).

Betting on the teams like Marseille is actually a death wish because they are not in a good situation at all and they are just waiting to see the Saudis buy thing teams and make a better team in the next season otherwise Marseille will not have a chance to win the title in this season. Also, Monaco has always unstable team and I think the best we can do about this is to take less risk and just bet on PSG because hoping for a miracle is not a wise move in this league.

Yep. In general, I am not against bets with high odds, but not in the case where you have to wait half a year for the outcome. In this case, it may take several years to “catch” the desired outcome, which does not suit me at all.
As for the rumors regarding the purchase of Marseille, it would be good if it were true - having two money bags in Ligue 1 will make it more interesting and I will wish failure on two teams at once and not just one  Grin

Manchester United made a hugh mistake when they allow their first choice, David de Gea to exits Old Trafford this summer after failing to meet his demands simply because they had their sights on Inter Milan goalkeeper, André Onana who was at his peak but alot of things have changed since United signed him, he haven't performed to the expected assumptions of the fans. Meanwhile David de Gea is currently a free agent this season with no club. He's keen on making an impact move to an elite team because he's a top goalkeeper that has the presence of other top competitors, moving to an average team will only see him beckoned to mediocre level which he will totally refrained.

There is an opinion that the “high” level that Onana demonstrated in Milan was due to the defense of Milan, and not to Onana himself. Today I watched a video where there were all his saves and all the goals that he missed, what can I say, it all looks very sad - he misses every third shot on target. And here there can be no comparison with “the young De Gea who came to United and also made mistakes,” if I remember correctly De Gea ended up at United at the age of 20, and Onana came at 27 as a professional in his prime. But so far I don’t see that he is good.

Bellingham is Modric's replacement. Vinny and Bellingham are not strikers, so Real needs a top striker. I think Haaladn can go to Real Madrid because it’s stupid to play in a team where you set records but the dick head coach says that you are not a better player than his favorite Messi. The compensation for Haaland is not so great - 173 million, so maybe Real will buy him.
The question is whether Manchester City will let this player leave, while this player has contributed a lot, even in his first season joining Manchester City. I think that could happen is unlikely, especially now that Real Madrid are closer to getting the signature of a Mbappe.
I also haven't heard any rumors about Real Madrid's interest in Haaland, but I also don't know because it could be that they move without being detected by the media so that the movement is silent.
Haaland is also only 1 season at Manchester City, I also believe he still wants to play there and give more titles.

No, there is no question here - the compensation under the contract is 173 million, Real can pay this money and City’s opinion will not be taken into account at all. This is literally the price for breaking the contract early. Considering that many transfers are now taking place at prices of 100 million, the price for Haaland does not look high. That is why City are trying their best to convince Haaland to extend his contract in order to increase compensation for break of contract.

This news looks strange if you don’t understand why it’s all being started.
I think the scheme is this: Kroos goes to City for free, sits on the bench (sometimes plays as a substitute) until the winter, then City sells him to Saudi Arabia. Kroos gets a lot of money, City gets + in the balance sheet and “fits” into financial fair play. Everyone is happy.
Another City shenanigan.
That's a really good guess, KTChampions. But we also have to say that Manchester City need a midfielder. Kevin de Bruyne is injured. And they haven't made a good signing to replace Ilkay Gundogan. Tony Kross could be a good signing for Manchester City. And if he adapts to the team quickly, he could find a place in Pep's plans. I think your guess about the potential of this signing makes a lot of sense. But on the other hand, we can't deny that Manchester City need a midfielder who can be a passing link.

Kroos will be 34 years old in 2.5 months, City will only get him in the summer so we can say that when he ends up at City he will be 35. City is too rich a club to make temporary transfers and fill any positions on the field with players who will end their careers in a year or two and the peak of whom is already behind. There was information that Guardiola tried to persuade Bellingham to move to City and after Bellingham chose Real Madrid I doubt that Guardiola changed his plan to get the young star midfielder.

 Sacking Ten  Hag won't change anything but rather would even cause more problems for the team cause the new coach might even find it more difficult to work under the glaziers that are only interested in the financial benefits they're getting from the club instead of making investments to help it grow.

No one can know this for sure. Maybe the new coach really won’t be able to change much since Ten Hag has already made mistakes that are difficult to correct - for example, buying Onana is definitely a mistake. For the new coach to be able to fix anything, he must take part in at least one transfer cycle, and given the fact that United has already spent a lot at Ten Hag’s request, new serious acquisitions will have to wait at least until the summer.

I think both teams will score in this match. The Italians have scored consistently in the last seven games. Among them they scored in the previous meeting with England. England was considered the main favorite of their group even before the start of qualification and the English have proved it without any problems so far. I have no doubts at all that England will score.

It seems to me that England will win this game without any problems and it is unlikely that Italy will be able to score a goal. Surprisingly, bookmakers apparently share the same opinion: BTTS quotes are as much as 2.26. There is no question at all about which team will definitely concede a goal today:

England Clean Sheet

Yes 1.95  No 1.83

Italy Clean Sheet

Yes 4.90 No 1.17


I completely agree with the bookmakers here, but I must say that the odds of 2.26 seem fair.
