It is very unfortunate that they have drawn against each other. For supporters and the neutral football fan it is great to already see this match between Barcelona and Manchester United. Juventus could also go a long way. But you are also very dependent on the draw of course. If you have a tough draw, you could theoretically hit all the top teams competing. There are also a few outsiders such as Ajax, who have performed quite well in the CL in recent years. Team seems to have been bought out and they have not been able to handle the transfers properly. Sevilla is also still active, but what can we expect from that team after underperforming in the national competition?

Unfortunately, this happens more often than people think. But often those stories do not come out and therefore do not appear in the media. It's not just that they want to pay off debt with gambling. Even people who are financially very healthy continue to gamble. They are looking for the thrill and the adrenaline. But once you're in debt, what do you do? It can be tempting to use a large fortune to gamble, but the consequences can also be that you become completely bankrupt and then the consequences are incalculable. The example of 100 million is a very large amount, by the way. And your reputation has also been seriously damaged by such a thing.

For the level in this competition, I am not worried for Lewndowsky for the time being. The problem is that once the body indicates that it is no longer possible, then it is really done. We also saw that with other players who went back to South America from the Spanish league. And La Liga also has a fairly high level. Barcelona can only use a fit Lewandowsky. They will eventually have to find a replacement for him, but that will certainly take another 1.5 seasons before he can no longer. Depay is a completely different caliber and is definitely not among the top.

Arteta has made a nice team out of it. I think they have also been very patient with him at Arsenal. In his first years he showed practically nothing with Arsenal. Halfway through last season things started to turn better and that line has been continued right at the start of the new season. They also brought in the necessary reinforcements. You should think of players like Odegar and Jesus. But it seems as if Arsene Wenger's old Arsenal has been put back on the map. It would be nice if they could also qualify for next season's CL from the EPL.

The highest achievable for Atletico will be 3rd place. That is usually the case every year. It's a wonder how they managed to finish 3rd last season. They had received the necessary help from Sevilla, who failed to win game after game. You should actually take the ranking last season at the winter break. Whoever had seen the final ranking would think that photoshop had been tampered with. We can write Sevilla off for this season, but real betis and a few other teams also have serious chances to finish in 3rd place.

Barcelona has the potential to win the tournament, but so does Manchester United. Both are roughly equivalent to each other. Playing home or away has little value for Barcelona at the moment. Last year it went completely wrong in the last game against Frankfurt. There is a good chance that the winner of this tournament will reach the final, although you do depend on the draw of this tournament. The strongest opponents can just be drawn against each other. It's kinda fun and fair. Protected statuses should also not be used for such tournaments.

Too bad we now have to wait a few months for them to race in F1 again. But it's also hard to drive all the races, and you also have to travel from country to country every week. You actually have very little time to prepare optimally. It is tough mentally and physically. And now the teams have a few months to prepare. At Red Bull they won't change that many things, as last season was the best season a team could wish for. Or would they want to raise the bar even higher for the upcoming season? Almost unthinkable. I hope that Mercedes can also compete for the championship again. It was actually a very monotonous season last season.

I'm not sure yet how to rate Chelsea for this season. They can certainly do better, but on the other hand it's not a disaster season, as it seems now. They are also one of the few teams besides Liverpool to win the Cl once in the last 10 years. Yet the EPL may have more status than the CL, also financially because of all the sponsors and television money. But Chelsea will certainly have to finish in the top 4 to have another successful season. I think Arsenal and City are really better at the moment, but certainly not Liverpool. And we also see that reflected in the temporary ranking.

Difficult to give a clear answer to this. The Crypto gambling sites out there right now that offer poker are minimal. There are a number of sites where you can also play poker, but I think the number of active players on this site is minimal. If you really want to play poker, I would only find a poker site and see if you can also deposit with crypto there. I think there are few to no sites on Bitcointalk where you are going to find a large number of active poker players.

If you look at national competitions, the EPL is the most highly regarded competition in the world. They do have a much stronger competition than other European countries such as Germany, Spain and Italy. Teams can only participate in the absolute top of the countries. Curious how Arsenal will do at the start of the 2nd league half. It is inevitable that there will be a certain pressure at Arsenal. They will have played without pressure at the beginning of the season, but in the meantime they are really thinking about possible title chances. Manchester City has that pressure differently, because they know they have so much quality that the points will come naturally. At Arsenal it could just collapse in one fell swoop. Something I don't see happening at Manchester City.

Now that the World Cup has come to an end, the next big event is the Cl. It's a pity that it will take so long before we see the eighth finals, but that's how the calendar is set. Maybe it will also work out well for certain players and clubs. The bookmakers are pretty sure that Liverpool will go through to the next round, I think it's a dangerous division for Liverpool. Maybe for the Liverpool of a few years ago, but not for the current team in this form. Liverpool have about a month to get into shape for the meeting with Real Madrid.

Easier said than done. Perhaps we all have that intention to take it easy when we lose, but how often does it happen in practice that we go beyond all our own imposed limits in the hope of winning back the losses? Very often. You can have a certain management over your own bank balance, but the value of this is zero if you can't stick to this strategy yourself. Even experienced gamblers continue to make mistakes with this.

It is not surprising that PSG has had a lot of players at the World Cup. These are all stars of strong teams, and almost all of them participated in the World Cup. Nice to see that it was spread over different countries. Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappe all from 3 different countries. And now I will no doubt forget a few more who also participated. The owner of PSG is also from Qatar and is very wealthy. The club is made up of money, you can see that in the players. They've gotten better in recent years.

I don't believe so much in Juventus' title chances anymore. Inter Milan also has a very long way to go, but at least it has more confidence than Juventus. From Inter we could say that it is a mediocre start to the season, because the past 2 seasons were still acceptable with a championship 2 seasons ago. At Juventus, things are structurally wrong, that worries me more. You could consider sending Allegri away, but who is going to take over there? If you wanted to intervene, you should have done so in recent weeks. I think it's too late for that now.

Gvardiol does have the teams to choose after this World Cup. His performance was certainly no coincidence. He intervened excellently in several matches and partly because of him, Belgium was unable to beat Croatia in the group stage. A club in the EPL would suit him well, he has proved to be a very strong player physically despite his age. It looked like he had been playing football at the highest level for 10 years. But we have to wait until the transfer window in the winter, then we can better assess how things stand. I just think that Chelsea or United would like to have a lot of money left for him.

It is impossible to say which teams will make it to the final. It is true that one of the title candidates will now fall away due to the draw of Barcelona against Manchester United. That would easily have been the final of the CL 10 years ago. Both teams will be ready for a European prize again. United won this title a few years ago, of course. Barcelona has really not won anything in a European context for a long time. Still, they are playing better than last year. Arsenal also have a lot of potential and have also drawn significantly better than the compatriots.

I'm not a fan of Griezman myself. When he went from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona, he was also quite disappointed. Or he never managed to reach his old level. It is not a striker who always knows how to score by nature and talent. He plays a lot of mediocre matches, I think you better look for other strikers. For United, almost everything is affordable. But I couldn't name a world-class player who wants to leave his home club. All top strikers are already provided, and Lewndowsky also seems to be having a great time at Barcelona. And Jesus has only just played at Arsenal, he will not just want to leave there.

A great achievement. Will the goals in the extra time of the final also be counted? Then he would have scored no less than 3 goals in a match. That is unprecedented at this level. He will not enjoy it much, he would rather have become world champion and that Messi would have had the title of top scorer. Messi is the big winner. Mbappe will participate in the World Cup more often, but was invisible for almost the entire game today. His moment came with a 2-1 lead by Argentina in which he managed to shoot in the 2-2 in a great way. In any case, there is room for another golden boot for his trophy cabinet.

If you want to make sure that games are fair and smooth, you should walk into an official casino. That way you can be sure that you are playing fair and that there is no cheating. Please note that you cannot lose very well here. The house always has an edge when you start playing at a casino, and based on statistics you can always lose more than you initially think you will. But of course that was not the question. Local even built house casinos I would avoid at all times.

Would Messi now stop with the national team? He literally won everything he could win after this world title. Has meant a lot to football and was an idol for many children. Also for Mbappe, his opponent tonight and fellow club member at PSG. Messi will now focus again on the CL at PSG and may not play football next season. Coaching also becomes difficult, as he hardly speaks a word of English. Or he has to coach in Spain. But first let Messi enjoy this title.
