Çeyrek finalde Milan v Roma gibi bir eşleşme daha var. Serie A'da çokça karşı karşıya gelen 2 takım bu sefer de Avrupa Ligi'nde kozlarını paylaşıyor. Milan şu an şampiyonluk adayları arasında Roma'nın ilerisinde gösteriliyor. Roma Mourinho'yu gönderip De Rossi'yi getirdiğinden beri formda ve çıkışta. Bence burada da onlardan sağlam performanslar izleriz. Milan yine de Avrupa arenasında onlara kıyasla daha tecrübeli. Ben her ne kadar Roma'ya bir şans vermek istesem de Milan'ın turu geçmesi beni şaşırtmaz.

I don't think Red Bull will have a big difficulty in solving this issue. I assume they have the best engineers now to figure out a solution. This didn't happen in the first 2 races so it was a bit surpising to see this kind of a brake issue. Ferrari really had a good opportunity after this incident and they took it very nicely.

But if Red Bull have a run without much problem in the rest of the season I don't feel like Ferrari will be able to keep up with them.    Verstappen is already unstoppable under normal conditions and Perez has also made a really good start to the season. Even Verstappen was able to collect enough amount of points for Red Bull's championship last season you know.

İnternet kullanan yaşlı oranında gerçekten ciddi bir artış söz konusu. Özellikle Facebook'un sosyal medya kitlesi ciddi sayıda yaşlı insandan oluşuyor mesela. Bunun da bu istatistik değişiminde önemli rolü vardır.    Ayrıca şu an için gerçekten ciddi bir genç nüfusa sahibiz ama bundan ne yazık ki yeterince iyi faydalanamıyoruz. Gençlerimiz ülkeyi terkediyorlar. Yıllar içerisinde bu gidişle bizde de yaşlı nüfus oranı ciddi bir artış göstermeye başlayabilir. Bu da bizim açımızdan pek iyi bir gelişme olmaz.

If the board decide to sack him I think they should think about bringing Conte. He already has a lovely history with Juventus and he would be one of the best choices.

Apart from that I really like Juventus as for defending. They are currently the second least conceding team in the Serie A. However their being really poor at scoring pushes them out of a title rivalry.    New transfers are a must for Juventus from now on. They need more productive players. They can't get enough goal contribution from their midfielders especially. After increasing their revenues by the end of the season they should immediately focus on this.

To tell the truth it really didn't matter to me which side to qualify in the Georgia v Greece match. Because it was like the most boring match of the night you know. At least the penalties were exciting to watch.  

Wales v Poland was also like a copy of that match but Poland made it just as I expected. I expected Lewandowski to make difference. He couldn't score in regular time maybe but he still scored the penalty and did his job. We don't watch the same Wales since Gareth Bale retired but they still did their best here.

I wonder how many more times Ukraine will win like this.    They once again won by a comeback. These 2 comebacks carried them to Euro 2024. Let's see if they can promote from a group with Romania, Belgium and Slovakia.

Bu ülkede futbolun düzelmesi için en başta 2 şey şart gibi gözüküyor artık.

1. Yabancı hakemler ile anlaşmayı ciddi bir şekilde gündeme getirmek ve bu konuda aksiyon almak
2. Federasyonun başına ne yaptığının farkında olan, Türk futboluna fayda sağlayacak düzgün insanlar getirmek

Bunların biri bile gerçekleşmezse benim düzeleceğimize dair umudum yok. Kaç sene geçmiş hala aynı konuları konuşuyoruz maalesef. Ayrıca sadece bu değişiklikler de değil, stadların maç sırasındaki güvenliğini de ciddi şekilde artırmak lazım. İşler iyice çığrından çıkmaya başladı yani bundan sonra umarım bu olaylar çok daha ciddi sonuçlar doğurmaz. 

Kredi kartlarına cidden bir düzenleme geliyor gibi. Geçen gün bankamdan bir bildirim geldi. Nisan ayı itibariyle kredi kartı harcamalarına sonradan taksitlendirme özelliğinde bir düzenleme yapılacakmış ama detaylar henüz belli değil. Sonradan taksitlendirme olayını kaldırmayacaklar herhalde ama 1 ay içerisinde tanınan taksitlendirme hakkını düşürebilirler ya da belki taksitlendirme yapılabilecek üst fiyat sınırını aşağı çekebilirler. Taksitlendirmenin zaten hiçbir zaman kalkacağını sanmıyorum kredi kartının asıl işlevi o zaten.

Elektrikli araçlara geçmek gittikçe daha mantıklı hale geliyor hocam. İşin teknolojisi, karbon emisyonu vs. bir yana ülkemizde şartların ağırlaşması da insanı bu yöne itiyor.    Zaten ülkede şarj istasyonlarının sayısı da oldukça hızlı bir şekilde artıyor. Benzinli araç fullemeye kıyasla daha ucuza bu iş halledilir. 43-44 liralar nedir yahu? Bir de yani bu bir şey değil daha kim bilir kaç lirayı görecek. Elektrikli araçlarda menzil en büyük problem gibi görülebilir belki ama artık yüksek menzil vadeden elektrikli araçlar da üretilmeye başlandı.

As for Tottenham there is an interesting detail in the fixture now. Tottenham are likely to determine the champion this year.    The reason is that they have matches against all the title contenders in the remaining weeks.

Only the one against Liverpool is away. If Liverpool have good results until those weeks they can really turn this into their own advantage. Liverpool really need Salah in every single match remaining from now on. In case of another injury they might be in serious trouble for their championship target.


As for the Brighton match I don't think Liverpool would leave any point at Anfield. If Trent leaves Liverpool they had better start looking for a good alternative. There will be only Bradley left in this case. He is talented but he wouldn't be enough for Liverpool. Who do you have in your mind? 

It was really an unbelievable race. Verstappen lost his brakes and was out of the race very early. This was where the fun was starting.  

After his recovery Sainz made a huge comeback. He even won the Grand Prix which was top work by him. I wonder whether there was any team order for their drivers to maintain their places. If there wasn't then Sainz was really much faster than Leclerc during the whole race.

It was a nightmare for Mercedes on the other hand. Engine failure for Hamilton and Russell's terrifying crash in last lap... The interesting thing is there wasn't any red flag after. Just imagine Russell being hit in his car in the middle of the track.  


Yes, but I didn't expect this many points though.  

Yes, we are in the quarter finals of PGL Major now!  

This is just an unbelievable success for Eternal Fire. I was thinking like our future would be decided by the 5th game after having a W/L record like 2-2. However especially after destroying FaZe on Overpass by 13-1 I was in big shock. Right after that I hoped to see to use this momentum to beat Virtus.pro and here we are!

The team performance is at an amazing level now and I hope we can maintain it in the playoffs as well. The playoffs start on Thursday and our opponent hasn't been decided yet.

It would be incredible if we even win the Major.  

What do you think on Marseille's chances to win the Europa League title??    They are the least chance given team together with Atalanta (the odds must be like 21.00).

After having a really bad time period with Gennaro Gattuso for some time he has left his place for Jean-Louis Gasset. The new coach has made a quite positive impact on the players so far. There is a serious improvement in the results and the way they play in the attacking area as well. If we see a surprise winner according to the odds I would expect it to be Marseille.

Frankfurt and Villarreal are some winner examples from the recent years. Why wouldn't we see another different winner this year? I'm favouring Liverpool normally but let's see.

Covid aşıları hakkında o kadar fazla bilimsel açıklama var ki hangisine inanacağını şaşırıyor. Uzun bir dönem boyunca aşıların kalp hastalıklarına da yol açabildiği ile ilgili bilgi dolaştı durdu. Bu bilginin ne kadarı doğru ne kadarı yanlış bilmiyoruz mesela. Belki de aşı karşıtlarının bir tür propagandası da olabilir ya da belki de gerçeklik payı da var. Aşılar peki covid'in etkisinin azalmasına yardımcı oldu mu, oldu. Geçen de bir haber okumuştum bu arada Almanya'da adamın biri 217 kez aşı olmuş.    Üzerinde araştırma yapmışlar ve bir probleme rastlamamışlar.

It looks like your bet lost. But it could have really won though. Spirit just couldn't manage to win on Nuke. Their performance on Ancient and Mirage was really impressive.    It was a nice try anyway considering that Spirit have really been on the rise for a while. They are shown as the 2nd best team in HLTV rankings.

---

I was really surprised with the result of the Eternal Fire v FaZe match. We beat FaZe by such an overwhelming score like 13-1.  



I never expected us to be this dominant against the best team in rankings. This is a big step taken to qualify for the playoffs. In 2 hours we are going to face Virtus.pro. They also have 2 wins so the winner is securing the playoffs. I hope that we can win and move on to the quarter finals.    This time I'm seriously thinking about betting on Eternal Fire to win @2.1.

Milli takımda cidden uzun zamandır bir forvet sıkıntısı bulunuyor. Uzun bir dönem boyunca Burak Yılmaz'ın eline bakan bir takım görüntüsü verildi. Sonra o milli takımdan emekli olunca bir türlü onun yerine bir forvet oturtamadık. Elimizde çok yetenekli genç forvetler varken aslında onlara daha fazla şans vermemiz lazım. Semih Kılıçsoy, Bertuğ Yıldırım, Enes Ünal gibi oyuncular milli takımın geleceği niteliğindeler. Euro 2024'e Montella umarım güzel bir kadro seçimi ile gider.

Yes, Dorival Júnior doesn't have a career out of Brazil at all and this has been the same for Brazil's coach choices for a long time. To tell the truth I don't find this policy very healthy for them in the long run. Because these coaches have no idea about how European national teams play. This is a big obstacle ahead of him to prepare Brazil for the World Cup in the best manner. 

By the way I see Rodrigo Caetano who has become "team manager". What do they mean by this title? Is it like an assistant manager or something else? His career is also full of only Brazilian teams.

People are discussing the possibility of Fenerbahçe board to decide to withdraw from the league as well recently. However I'm not expecting such thing to happen. I wouldn't like to see one of the biggest teams of the Super League in lower leagues to tell the truth. These teams are keeping the prestige level of the Super League in its current place.

By the way I see it like there are 2 teams to join the Champions League qualification stage this season. Is it true? If it is then this means there is a chance that we have a potential to carry 2 teams from our country to the Champions League group stage. To increase the country coefficient this would be really great. 

Belki de siz haklısınızdır. Oyuncuların nasıl bir psikoloji ile oynadıklarını kestirmek zor. Çünkü Karabağ'a karşı oynadıkları maçlar sırasında fikstürleri oldukça sıkışıktı. Bunun verdiği yorgunluktan ötürü bile tam istedikleri oyunu oynayamamış olabilirler. West Ham'a karşı da benzer bir oyun görecek miyiz bakalım. Liverpool - Atalanta da güzel bir eşleşme bu arada. Liverpool şu ana kadar çok kararlı bir görüntü verdiği için Atalanta'ya karşı da benzer bir oyun görürüz ve Liverpool turu geçer diyorum.

As for Arsenal's chance to win the Premier League title this season I have quite big doubts. I'm saying it despite being aware of how great they have been for many weeks. Because their remaining fixture is really tough. There are matches like Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United and all of them are away. 

This makes me think like maybe we might see a similar scenario to previously for Arsenal this season. Just like they did in the previous one they might mess it up on the final weeks and lose their chance to be the title winner. I would really like to see them proving me wrong though. 

PGL Major 2024 is already underway! I haven't been able to catch up with the tournament process. I followed the Opening Stage for some time and it looks like Eternal Fire have made it to the main tournament.

This has really made me happy about them.    Because the biggest achievement they had before was to reach the Challengers Stage (which was the old name of the Opening Stage).

They already played their first 2 matches in the main tournament against Vitality and MOUZ. Beating Vitality was really nice work and the MOUZ one was also pretty close. In only 10 minutes they have a BO1 against FaZe. It is one of the toughest matchups but I hope that we can manage to be victorious. 

The current look of group stage is:
