Equally many goals in Italy. Milan is looking forward to it and wants to lose his status as champion for a while. Recently, more and more goals have been scored in the Italian league, where defending has been elevated to the level of skill. It's only 2-1, but I think it's going to be a big result for Milan. It's nice to start your season like this. Atalanta is ahead of Sampdoria, but Atalanta also just has a better team, so that's not really remarkable.
Curious about the performance from Juventus also.

It all looks so easy again at the Manchester City game. At halftime they are already 3-0 up and oo could have been 5-0 with a bit of luck. In it you can see the difference in level with United last week, which was occasionally played away at home against a similar team. This match is easily won by City but I am curious what their eternal rival United will do. Ten hag is already under full pressure after the decline last week. Now they can play out and in 1 hour the game starts. They won't send ten Hag away if it doesn't work out for a few games, will they? the gunners are easily leading with 2-0

In any case, the opening game has been moved. In the sense that Qatar can now play the opening game and that the Netherlands - Senegal will now be the 2nd match. I don't think it matters much for the level. What should we expect from the Qatar team? There is a lot of wealth in some parts of the country, they could buy the best team in the world together but the players from Qatar are not good enough. I don't think it's realistic to expect them to qualify for the next round, but if there's one team in this group they can rely on it's Costa Rica, so the opening game.

69 minutes on the clock and Freiburg is still ahead 1-0. We knew that Dortmund would not compete for the title because of the dominance of Bayern Munich, but losing to Freiburg is very sober. I hope for Dortmund that this is not a harbinger of a bad season, last season it was all ok in the beginning and they have recovered after that. 20 mins on the clock left for Dortmund to find the equalizer. I do not see them winning anymore unless they will score the 1-1 quickly.

Yes it is 1-1 and it is now peace. It was a weird start to the game. After 9 minutes Osasuna had taken the lead and they were ahead 1-0, they couldn't enjoy that lead for a long time because 2 minutes later it was already 1-1. I expected that there would be at least 1 goal in the remainder of the 1st half, but unfortunately. In the second half we will see some spectacle. although I think it's really hot there right now, that's going to take its toll on players too. 1-1 could also be the final score of this match.

Morocco is of course not one of the favorites at the World Cup, not even among the outsiders. However, now the Moroccan national coach has been fired from Morocco and I think that will have positive consequences. There were star players in the selection who were occasionally not allowed to participate because they had a difference of opinion with the trainer. The most important example is Ziyech. Morocco could survive the group stage with a bit of luck. Morocco has even more nice players. Some players have already indicated that they want to go for it 100% now.
Will we finally see a gold medal for the Netherlands after 3 lost finals?

It's already the month of August and that means we're getting closer to the World Championship. Favorites are still the same, but Italy is still trying to enter this tournament through a back door. It will take some getting used to if you have snow in your own country, for example, and you are watching the World Cup. I am of course referring to European countries. Soon the Nations League will start again, aren't those the last practice matches before the tournament? I just hope players get enough rest. Only in England are they used to playing football in the winter. It is not easy to play football at 35 degrees if you have trained the days before at 5 or 10 degrees.

AZ will also easily win 6-0. There were a few exciting matches but in most of them the difference in level was quite obvious. But teams that have won now have to survive another round. I know that the draw is already known but I don't know exactly who is playing against whom. I don't like looking at it as much as I used to. In the past you just had the right Knock out system and now you have group stage. Then you have a lot more chances to get through, but there is much less tension in the matches. I suspect it will be mostly commercial. More matches equals more revenue.

Technology is the engine of an online casino or gambling site. If your technology is old-fashioned, a platform will not work well. Just think of the interaction between the odds you see to bet on and the bet slip. If you use bad technology, problems and errors will undoubtedly arise. The consequence is that users notice this and they will not come back. Users today have a lot of choice to gamble and they want a good and stable platform and that includes good software. A lot has changed over the years in terms of software with Igaming.

There are stories of people furnishing their entire house with an office in the lane that they could then start a professional gambling career. But you understand that life is in dreamland. It may be the case that if you are a professional poker player, you can focus on your own better when you are in a certain environment. This also applies to gamblers, of course, it can make a lot of difference, but you must of course know what you are doing and not believe in your own fantasy. Then it goes wrong.

The drama surrounding Ronaldo will continue for a while. In any case, he wants to play the Champions League this season. There are not many players who can pay his salary, that is also a thing of course. Chelsea were interested, Bayern too, but Ronaldo thanked them both. Then you will be left with Man City, but it will not be accepted by the supporters there because of the great rivalry with United. Then you don't have many clubs left. PSG is a serious option, but they already have a lot of good players. I wouldn't know which other club can still pay his salary. Yes, a club in the desert, but he doesn't want to go there

This is an important season for Juventus. And for the coach of course. Last year completely failed in the competition but also in the Champions League. Only one thing can be expected from a club like Juventus and that is to become champions. If they come in 2nd it will be disappointing but it will still be acceptable if Inter were just better. Last season the rest wasn't really great in the whole league, but Juventus was just really bad, and the start of the league was dramatic. If after 10 matches they have already lost 4 times then you actually already have no chance to become champion. Competition at the top has become increasingly evenly matched.

Tottenham is not a single serious championship contender. Chelsea do have considerably more opportunities, but are of course under Man City. Liverpool have had a bad start. Chelsea have a better team than Tottenham, but at Tottenham you never know how they are going to play. They can literally beat anyone in the PL on a good day, but they can also lose to relegation candidates. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea win this match 4-0, for example. I don't know the goal of Tottenham Hotspur either. Qualifying for the CL (so finishing in the first 4?) would be a good challenge.

At the moment the PSV - Lyon match is 1-0 for PSV. That is by far the most exciting match with perhaps the 2 best teams left in the qualification of the CL. I wouldn't be surprised if this match ends in a 1-1 draw and then we get another extra time. Benfica had already won big last week but is now also ahead 1-2 at Midtjylland, so that last 1% chance for Midtjylland has also come to an end at the moment. Rangers is 1-0 up and they approachting the 25th minute now. Seems they not all started at the same time, weird.

It is striking that Kyrgios managed to win no less than 2 titles in 1 day. In singles and doubles. You don't hear that often. I also don't believe that it benefits your level to play 2 matches in one day, although it must be said that in a doubles match you run much less and that match also costs you much less energy in the end. But it is still a unique achievement. Often good single players are not great in doubles and vice versa, much more so. You used to have the Woodies from Australia, Elting and Haarhuis, they weren't high flyers in singles either.

Juventus have indeed lost many good players. They thought they could partially compensate for that with the signing of Pogba, but unfortunately he was injured and it remains to be seen when he will recover from this injury. It could be that Juventus will have a difficult season and especially in the first games they will have to do everything they can to win their games. So many players have dropped out that you are playing with half a new team, and of course you don't have a lot of preparation time either. It will be important at Juventus how the agreements in the back have been made in defense now that Chiellini and De Ligt have both left.

I'm not sure what to expect from Dortmund this year. Of course they have a lot of opportunities because they have a nice group of players, but if Haaland loses and also an unfit Haller .. then it becomes a difficult story. Bayern become champions, I think the objective for all other clubs is to be 2nd or at least secure the Champions League participation. Or try to win the DFB Pokal. Dortmund must be careful that it does not have a mediocre start to the season, just like last year, because I think Leipzig and Leverkusen will be quite far away.

Nowadays you have to pay tax on gambling winnings everywhere. It is only calculated very crookedly, because it is per month I read somewhere. If you would win $10,000 in March then you would have to pay 28% tax and if you would lose $9,000 in April you would think you would have $1,000 net, But you can't report the losses to the government so keep the net you then 10,000 - 2800 - 9000=-1800
A loss of 1800$ when you would actually be 1000$ in profit. There are also a lot of players who choose not to declare taxes, but then you have to be able to justify your money somewhere of course. This differs per country, however. Isn't there also a distinction between online gambling sites and a land-based casino?

Just turned on the computer to see how football is doing. And there I see to my enormous surprise that Manchester United are behind at home with 0-2?! What a crappy start this is too. They are almost done with the first half, so everything is still possible, but this is not a pleasant start. I think United can still win this game 3-2 but if the opponent is able to make it 0-3 quickly then United will be depressed and things will not work out. Is to see what the English press will write about ten Hag if they lose at home to Brighton.

Somehow it is unfortunate that Kyrgios behaves very unprofessionally very often. I think that comes at the expense of his level. Okay, he recently made it to a Wimbledon final, but someone with his talent should have won a Grand Slam tournament at least once. But that's in his personality. He used to be seen as one of the greatest talents and the potential number 1 in the world but I don't think that will happen anymore. I wonder if he will ever win a Grand Slam again. There are a lot of people who don't like him but he is loved by the vast majority of the public because he always entertains the crowd during the matches.
