Nice vs Le Havre
One of the important matches in the last weeks of the league. Nice had a great start to the season, followed by a sharp decline, and now they come into the final stretch of the season as an ambitious team. Nice have already booked their ticket to the European Cups next season. However, there is still a chance that they will not qualify for the European Cups. For that, they need at least 3 points in the last few weeks. Le Havre, on the other hand, have not yet fully recovered in the league and sit just above the relegation zone. This is a critical match. Le Havre won a crucial match last week. They will prefer a high tempo game in this match as in the last matches. It won't be a surprise if both teams score.

This match is going to be very crucial for Nice. Because if they do not win this match, there is a big chance that they give Lens a chance to get ahead of them in future matches. And even though not many matches are left, this is still a big possibility. and I do not think Nice is actually going to lose this match. After all, they are going up against a team that is somehow outside the relegation zone. Le Havre was able to win the last match against Strasbourg. But it is a big difference between playing against Strasbourg and playing against Nice. I think Nice should be able to win. But strange things happen in football. Nice is performing decently. And I think even the worst-case scenario for them should be at least one point.

But it depends on what Mainz will do on one hand. They are going to host Dortmund which have already secured the Champions League ticket. Even if Mainz get one point it is going to be really difficult for Koln to get past them mathematically.  Sad

I think Koln will also relegate directly. It is tough to predict the play-out position. I will continue with Mainz for that.

This match should be an easy one for Dortmund to win. They are literally going to play against a team that is in the relegation zone. Fighting to avoid the relegation. I do not think it is going to be a problem for them to win this match but still, I think they are going to target the final of the Champions League a lot more. Because the final of the Champions League actually Matters a lot more compared to anything to them right now. So there is a chance that they will try to win the matches that are left in the Bundesliga. But not at the expense of not playing the best players in the Champions League final. But at the same time if for some reason they actually end up losing this match it is going to be a surprise. Even the worst-case scenario should be Dortmund getting only one point from this match.

Dortmund played with different tension in the Champions League, they managed to get out of the group phase as the team that collected the most points, which was filled with strong teams such as PSG, Milan and Newcastle. Surprises continued to be shown in the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals before they ensured qualification for the final. This extraordinary performance is not comparable to what they showed in the Bundesliga, Dortmund, who represents the Bundesliga, will try to provide something that was never expected before to win the UCL trophy even though so far they have always had difficulty winning the Bundesliga title race.

Since the group phase, Dortmund actually joined the group which can be said to be a hellish group in the Champions League because it contains a big team, but with their toughness and experience playing in European competitions so far they have been able to make Dortmund come out as group winners, their performance in the Champions League and Bundesliga is indeed very inverse,  although they are able to provide competition in the Bundesliga but it is not able to make them able to Being title contenders who ultimately have to end the season in the current 5th place, while in the Champions League they were underestimated and even against Atletico Madrid no one considered them as favourites to be able to turn things around in the second leg.

But today in fact we can see if Dortmund and Bayern Munich who have poor performance in the Bundesliga are able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, especially Dortmund is even only one step away from them being able to win the championship trophy after eliminating PSG in two legs, at this time of course it is surprising to see a team that from the group phase is underestimated actually able to reach the final round of the Champions League,  Even I think against Madrid later in the final they still have a bigger chance of winning and for now it's not appropriate for us to underestimate Dortmund again.

At this point, I do not think Dortmund actually cares about performing any better in the Bundesliga competition. They are already in the final of the Champions League and they are definitely looking to win the Champions League as well. Winning the Champions League is probably going to be the best achievement for them in recent times.

it makes sense for them to concentrate on the Champions League. Even if they lose, it is understandable. I think a lot of people do not realize that they are already in the finals of the Champions League. Even though they will play against Real Madrid, they will have an incredible chance to win. Now I don’t think anyone is going to be mad if they finish outside the top for positions in the Bundesliga.

Chelsea still has a chance to finish in fifth place provided they have to win their last three matches and hope that Newcastle and Tottenham drop points in the next three matches. The chances they have are very slim because they really depend on the results obtained by Tottenham or Newcastle. Tottenham certainly doesn't want fifth position to be taken by rivals who are below them. Consecutive defeats in the last four matches are a nightmare for Tottenham because their position is increasingly threatened. Next match they will face Burnley, they will try to end their losing streak in the last four matches to keep their position safe.

No, there is no way Chelsea will be able to close the gap of 6 points with three matches remaining, they are lucky that Manchester United are doing even worse and they have dropped below them, they would have to focus on not slip back lower. And Newcastle also began to play much better at the end of the season, so Chelsea won’t be able to bypass them either. And Tottenham still has a difficult match with City where they will most likely lose points, so they are able to retain 5th place.

Yes, I absolutely agree. There is no way Chelsea is going to close the gap that has been created in terms of points on the table and actually finish in the fifth position. The difference is six points. And that is a lot of points at this stage of the competition to overcome. And even though Chelsea has been pretty good in recent times, I do not think they will have such great luck that they will be able to finish in the fifth position. Lots of things have to be perfectly done and Lots of things will also have to happen perfectly for them to finish in the fifth position. Which I think is just a little too much to ask. That’s why I think even with the current performance of Chelsea, they are not going to finish in the fifth position.

In Japan vs Mongolia 2nd T20 match, Japan team came out to bat and lost 7 wickets in 20 overs and set a target of 217 runs. Japan team batsman Sabaorish Ravichandran scored 69 runs in 39 balls. Kendel Fleming scored 32 runs in 17 balls. Mongolia team came out to bat and scored 12 runs in 8.2 overs.  I did not think that the Mongolia team will be all out by 12 runs. Japan team's bowling line was excellent in today's match.
Total three clashes of this competition was finished already and today second and third clash was completed among Mongolia sqaud against Japan squad. In all matches, Mongolia did not display good performance in any single clash and same as in today second match, Mongolia Squad just successfully achieved 12 scores and total defeating target which set by Japan squad was 217 scores. I did not expect that Mongolia displayed such a bad performance in this competition not only today match but also same kind of performance was displayed in previous first match and they successfully achieved few scores and lost all batter wickets. Kazuma Kato-Stafford bowler bowled total 3.7 overs against Mongolia batters and in these overs he picked up total 5 batters and showcased unbelievable strength. Third match was also finished but outcome was not came out because of bad weather.

Japan vs Mongolia
The last match between them did not have any results. But I think Mongolia still will not be able to make any kind of comeback in this series. It seems like Japan is definitely a lot better compared to them. And that’s what Japan is showing throughout the series so far. I think, who will still have the advantage. Like Japan is giving target of more than 200 and on the other hand Mongolia is getting all out only scoring 33 and 12. That is just not good enough and also shows the skill difference between both of these teams. This is just a beating being delivered by Japan to their opponent. I think the whole series is going to be one-sided.

I hope that the Erik Ten Hag move fails because he is not going to be an improvement for Bayern Munich for sure. We are already watching him absolutely destroy the Man United team and I think he is going to do something similar with the Bayern Munich team as well. I actually don't understand why he was the first person that was approached by Bayern Munich to be honest.

Considering how he coached Manchester United I don't think he will be capable enough to build Bayern Munich the way they will like it to be because most of the inconsistent performance we are seeing in Manchester United is as a result of his strategy if not Manchester United has the right players that can be consistently winning matches, though I'm not disputing the fact that he is not a good coach but his method of coaching and pattern is one of the things that has been affecting Manchester United, however when Manchester United will change him you will see how good they will become.

In terms of Bayern Munich having Erik Ten Hag  as their coach could seriously affect the players because no matter how strong a club is the moment they hire a coach his method is not good for the team they will start having poor performance, so perhaps the kind of coach Bayern Munich should be looking at is the coach that has vision of Pep Guardiola or Klopp because those are the coaching qualities a club like Bayern Munich should be looking at.

The players of Bayern Munich are going to be demotivated just by watching Ten Hag as the new coach. I also believe that a lot of players are also going to question the decision of the Bayern Munich club as well. Because this is the same coach who has not been able to do anything with Manchester United except for finishing in the third position once. And if he is actually the new coach of Bayern Munich, the morale of the players are definitely not going to be high. Needless to say that it is going to be a big mistake made by the Bayern Munich authority.

 I don’t understand why they will actually approach him when they have a lot of other options available? They have Zidane, Jose Mourinho and others to choose from. And they went to the coach which was literally one of the worst. Klopp is also a great option.

I think it’d be a great story if Dortmund got to the final but I have a feeling PSG will really go at them from the first minute tonight.

I think PSG will have too much for the Germans tonight but I am rooting for Dortmund.

PSG 0 - 0 Borussia Dortmund in Parc des Princes & 0 - 1 on aggregate.
That score right now is in favour of the Germans obviously, however I feel that PSG will score at least a goal in this match.
If Borussia Dortmund fail to score a goal, then we might see extra time and maybe penalties.

! Dortmund scored a goal !

I was waiting to see PSG's comeback in the second half. I thought if PSG scored the match would be more competitive. And Dortmund will start playing in full attacking strategy. But at the beginning of the second half, the Dortmund team got the lead with the goal of Hummeis from Julian Brandt's pass. Since Dortmund is leading 1-0 in the previous match as well. So PSG need to win the match 2-1 to equalize. But the way PSG are performing, it doesn't seem possible for them to win this match by 2 goals.

However, Dortmund's defense is performing really well in this match. PSG are unable to capitalize despite attacking heavily.

Bayern Leverkusen and Real Madrid are no doubt the possible teams that is expected to play the UEFA super cup next because literally, the two teams have shown strong determination in the European competitions so far and it wouldn't be a thing of surprise if the both teams win the respective European trophies of UEFA champions league and the Europa league because they have been resilient since the European competitions began.

For sure if Bayern Leverkusen still wants to be in the limelight of major competitions next season they need to sign more quality players and avoid selling some of their important players that is the only way they can still continue in awesome performance next season. I think Leverkusen will make good impact in the champions league next season because they are a very good and formidable team now so they are equal to the task ahead of them.

I would love to see these sides in the Super Cup Finals at the start of next season. With Xabi Alonso returning to show Florentino Perez that one day he will be capable of handling a hug club like Real Madrid and I will love to see that happening.
But damn, this is a ballsy prediction from you. I'm just here laughing out loud, it could happen snf at the same time not happen, until 90 minutes of the game between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, my lips are sealed. Lol. Real Madrid should be solid at hoke anyways with the fans and the crowd buzzing for that win at home.

For Bayern Leverkusen, I'm certain they're already having the treble this season. It's just a matter of time until we see it happening. I'm so proud of Xabi Alonso, at times I picture myself managed by him.He will go on to be replacement for top coaches like Carlo Ancellotti, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola when they get done finally.

For Bayern Munich, they have declined even from last season, Julian Nagelsmann wasn't so bad but they lacked a goalscorer when Robert Lewandoski left for Barcelona. If Erik Ten Hag move fails, then they should focus on Antonio Conte.

I hope that the Erik Ten Hag move fails because he is not going to be an improvement for Bayern Munich for sure. We are already watching him absolutely destroy the Man United team and I think he is going to do something similar with the Bayern Munich team as well. I actually don't understand why he was the first person that was approached by Bayern Munich to be honest. They definitely had better options. And I think if they can Jose Mourinho it is probably going to be great for them. If he is available I mean.

And why don't they approach Zidane? He is a great coach and will definitely be an improvement compared to all of the coaches that we are talking about. I don't think they should actually get anyone from Ten Hag or Conte.

There is a Konyaspor - Fenerbahçe game tonight. Fenerbahçe is the favorite, but it is also a very important game for Konyaspor.
Fenerbahçe will play for the championship.
Konyaspor needs to get points from this game to avoid relegation to the lower league.
It will be a tough game for both teams.

We all know that this match is not that important for Fenerbahce. Because they have a huge lead of points compared to the teams that are below them at this moment. And I also do not think that they will be able to compete for the first position as well. The only team to which this match actually matters is Konyaspor. Because they are trying to stay out of the relegation zone. They cannot lose if they want to actually stay out of the relegation zone because that will mean the other teams are going to have a great chance to get ahead of them. But at the same time, it is going to be really hard for Konyaspor to actually win this match. I think they will be happy if they get one point.

75 minutes have been played in this match and the match is still goalless. nobody has been able to break the deadlock. Fenerbahce is dominating the possession so far.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been earmarked as a summer target for Barcelona as they prepare to offload Robert Lewandowski

This is a rumor that is going on right now about Darwin Nunez. The news has been hovering all over social media as well. One thing I do not know is if Barcelona will actually be able to get any new player like that. We all know that the financial situation of Barcelona is not good. And the strikers in this era are also very expensive. So I don’t know if Barcelona will be able to make this transfer work. But I guess Barcelona will get some fans because they might be able to finish in the second position in the La Liga.

By the way, I also do not think he is going to be a very good replacement for Robert Lewandowski. But I guess they have to look at what the budget allows them to do. I don’t think the budget allows them to look anywhere at the moment but ok I guess.

Well Girona and Barcelona are the closest contenders but they haven’t  been able to gather enough points to be able to challenge Real Madrid. The La Liga is pretty competitive but I think it revolves majorly around Real Madrid and Barcelona as other clubs tend not to be able to perform better than these 2 clubs. Well this all balls down to investment in football and if that’s done we’ll be able to see major competitions in the league.

Real Madrid crowned champions after Barca's defeat at Girona
Real Madrid were crowned champions of La Liga for the 36th time after Barcelona suffered a 4-2 defeat by Girona.

This was kind of a surprise because Barcelona has only lost one away match in this season and that was against Real Madrid. So I did not think Barcelona was actually going to lose this match. I thought probably it is going to be a draw and even if Barcelona does lose, it is not going to be so bad. And let’s be honest, Barcelona was not going to lose this match if they did not make so many mistakes in the defense. True mistakes in the defense from Barcelona cost them two goals.

Otherwise, it could have been a draw for Barcelona and that was definitely going to be a good enough result for them. But now Barcelona finishing in the second position in the La Liga competition is in danger. It is definitely going to be counted as a little failure for Barcelona if they cannot finish in the second position.

I am very upset with Hardik Pandya's performance. Is he qualified to be the captain of Mumbai Indians? I would say Rohit Sharma is more experienced than Pnadya. Pandya's captaincy is not good, at the same time Pandya's performance in this year's IPL is also quite good. But I am really disappointed with Hardik's captaincy. Mumbai team is at the bottom of the points table because of bad captaincy.

hardik pandya played 10 matches in this year's IPL. He managed to collect 187 runs in 10 matches. Pandya has got enough opportunities to play big innings in most of the matches. Because the Mumbai top order lost wickets quite quickly. But we have not seen responsible batting from Pandya. Also Pandya took 8 wickets in 10 matches, but gave away a lot of runs.

MI did terrible as a team not because of just Hardik performance nor his captaincy that costed them to be then out of the play off race which is quite unexpected with the players they got in their squad.

Is Pandya actually making every decision for this team? I doubt that because the same guy who lead GT for trophy once and almost won the trophy in his second season. While here, the combination didn't worked well from the beginning probably team management wanted some big names to be played.

Sad to see MI for now but kudos to KKR spinners who actually made the difference if we take a close look at it.

I wouldn't say that Mumbai is in such bad condition only because of Pandya. We are also not seeing the expected good performance from the players of Mumbai Indians. But I would say one of the main reasons for Mumbai's poor performance is Pandya's poor captaincy. I have seen his bad decisions in several matches. He is not able to select the bowlers properly. In several matches I have seen, Pandya did not give a chance to bowl 4 overs to the bowler who gave the least runs.

Ishan kishan also we don't see good performance as expected. Apart from 69 runs against Bengaluru and 42 runs against Delhi, he did not play any big innings in this year's IPL.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket on: May 04, 2024, 04:49:47 AM
however, they have lost four crucial wickets and have been comparatively underwhelming, scoring just 70 runs in 10 overs. Still, Mumbai Indians have to collect 103 from 60 balls to reach the target of victory, it is a very tough challenge.
Mumbai Indians fate is bad in this IPL event especially I have selected Mumbai Indians as final contender and in that case Mumbai Indians will perform so badly that I could not even imagine it. Despite having many icon players, Mumbai Indians are likely to be knocked out of this year's IPL due to lack of performance alone. However, the poor performance of Mumbai Indians' star players failed to qualify Mumbai Indians from this year's IPL. Mumbai Indians should have won today's match and if Mumbai Indians could have won today's match then they would have secured the playoffs.
The performance of Mumbai Indians this year is very poor due to which they are ranked ninth in the IPL. Part of this will be the responsible of the team management of Mumbai Indians because the removal of Rohit Sharma from the captaincy may have split the players of Mumbai Indians into two groups due to which the performance of the players is random. Rohit Sharma is a successful captain of Mumbai Indians holding Mumbai Indians champions several times. So the team management of Mumbai Indians should not have dropped Rohit Sharma from the captaincy when he was in the team. Yesterday, against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians bowlers bowled aggressively from the start due to which a strong team like Kolkata was bowled out for just 169 runs. If the batsmen of Mumbai Indians could have batted responsibly against Kolkata then surely Mumbai Indians could have won against Kolkata Knight Riders. Mumbai Indians lost by 24 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders due to batting failure.



I am very upset with Hardik Pandya's performance. Is he qualified to be the captain of Mumbai Indians? I would say Rohit Sharma is more experienced than Pnadya. Pandya's captaincy is not good, at the same time Pandya's performance in this year's IPL is also quite good. But I am really disappointed with Hardik's captaincy.

I don’t think any player should go to Manchester United right now and I think I have already said that. any player that goes to Manchester United right now has to be worried about his future. Because recently whichever player has gone to Manchester United with a lot of expectations, the reality for them has been very different. And he is only 22 years old. I believe if he shows good performance, he is going to be pursued by other clubs. Of course, if Real Madrid is after him, there is no chance that he is going to go to Manchester United right now. and let’s also remember that Manchester United does not have that great name for them right now that they once had. you cannot go to a club that has a good legacy and not performing well right now at this moment.

Chelsea just need to reshuffle their squad and in my opinion coach Pochettino should not be replaced even though he failed to bring Chelsea to the best position in the standings, but he is very suitable at Chelsea and of course changing coaches will only make the adaptation process more troublesome and time consuming. what needs to be done is to add quality players both in their front line and in their back line, Chelsea must perform brilliantly next season, at least at the start of the season they can play as well as possible to get the top position so they can continue to increase their self-confidence.

Chelsea have been quite good in their last few matches, after they experienced a lot of chaos at the start of the season which made them fall into the bottom position and fortunately Pochettino brought Chelsea to the best place at least in the top 10 of the current standings, Chelsea must be able to overhaul many of its players so that can be an even better team next season, I think that's all Chelsea management has to do to get quality players to be able to lead Chelsea to a better future.

Overhauling won't be key to get them buzzing like before, Pochetino is yet to get his first team this season and that could be due to too many injured players.
They just spent over 1Billion Niara and you want them too do what again? They just need to sell those players they won't be needing much next season like Raheem Sterling, I think they want to sell Gallagher also and loan those they can

Chelsea owners has got to look into them medical team, because I feel like they're not doing enough. Take a good look at players like Christian Pulisic and Loftus Cheek who both left Chelsea, they haven't seen themselves Injured the way they normally do when they was at Chelsea though.

The Medical Team should be put to check. Most Importantly, they need a natural striker with killer instincts who can score goals for them. (20+ )Goals!

Even if they actually get a striker who is really good at scoring goals, if the striker is not provided with enough chances, I believe he is not going to be able to do too much. Because if the striker does not get good supply from the midfield, he is not going to do anything. And to be honest I think the problem in the squad, if there is even any, is the lack of a striker. But the tactics also have to be good enough for the striker to shine in the team. And I do not think that the coach that they have right now is actually good enough for them. They definitely need to change the coach if they want to have good results.

I think the players being injured are probably something that doesn’t have anything to do with the medical stuff. Maybe they were put under pressure that they got injured like that in Chelsea. but I could be wrong

People are self centered, they would not care as much if you win a game if they know you’re not sharing a piece of the pie with them. Anyone who is set to benefit from your winnings will definitely be happy when you win your bets because they know they are getting tips from you. I see that happen in my country, we have a culture of tipping people around you when you win bets. If you’re a frequent customer of a particular casino, it’s expected that when next you show after cashout you will buy drinks for other gamblers or tip them.

In fact the people you play with will never be happy with your victory. A blackjack table or Baccarat table or poker table is a very sensitive place. A momentary distraction here can do you great harm. That's why you have to be very careful during the game. If you are addicted to laughter, you will never finish the game as a winner. And the truth is that if you don't win, you get nothing but disappointment.

I agree with you that people who don't participate in the game you can call them audience, can flatter you for tips. Whoever wins it is flattered by the people around to get some tips or treats. Here they are not actually happy with your victory, just as they will flatter you if you win today, they will start flattering someone else if they win.

I assume we can all say from now on that Atletico Madrid have secured the last spot for the Champions League.  Smiley  That win against Athletic Bilbao was a result that most people including me expected. Athletic Bilbao gave up early because of making really critical point losses against Granada and Villarreal both home previously.

Real Madrid are very close to announcing the title officially. Only a couple of weeks the most. I think the winner of the Girona - Barcelona game will determine which one will finish the season at the second position as well. I think Barcelona would beat Valencia today first and use their two-point advantage against Girona well in the game between later.  Smiley

This was a very good result for Atlético Madrid because they were able to create a bigger gap between them and Athletic Club. At the same time, they have solidified their position on the fourth on the table. Now the point difference between them is six and I don't think there is actually any chance for Atlético Madrid to actually finish anything down than the fourth position. Actually, I do not think either of these teams are going to change their position from where they are right now. Even though Athletic Club has not been able to win a single match in the last four, I think they will be able to win in the upcoming weeks and hold onto the position that they are in right now. I do not see any hard opponents for either of them in the upcoming matches

Manchester City who performed well at the Nottingham forest headquarters, must maintain their performance when facing Wolves in order to keep their distance from Arsenal. Next, they will face Fulham, who are not too strong based on the strength of the two teams. Tottenham is a team that needs to be taken into account because there is a possibility of losing points because Tottenham is still trying to collect points in the remaining season to enter the Champions League zone.

Obviously, this was going to be very easy for Manchester City. They have dominated the whole match and they have been able to win pretty easily in the end without having too much trouble. Now this is also going to be a problem for Liverpool and Arsenal as well. because if Manchester City does not lose any of the matches that are remaining, none of them are going to have a shot at the Premier League title. Liverpool has already fallen behind and now Arsenal is probably the only one that has a chance. Arsenal is in the first position of the table but they have played 35 matches and have got 80 points and on the other hand, Manchester City has played 34 matches and have 79 points. Manchester City should be ahead on paper. The only actual test that Manchester City might have is probably against Tottenham because we have seen in recent times that Manchester City finds it hard to win against Tottenham.

This did not age well.  I am also pretty sure that there was no serious thinking involved in this prediction.  how did she think that Barcelona was actually going to go to the final of the Champions League competition?  this is just beyond me. 

but I guess this is just clowns being clowns. Just another way to entertain people and grab as much views as they can in that process. What they are going to predict about the semi-finals and the finals now?  I am actually disappointed if these are the people who are supposed to be "Pundits".  a lot of the time they even fail to be professional.  Remember Jamie spitting on rival fans from his car?  And Micah is literally going to do anything for money.
