Well, I know there are many fans worldwide and we are all excited about football, I don't deny it, seeing how Brazil is doing in the World Cup, it has to start playing very well because the best player right now in the World Cup qualifiers is Argentina. I don't know why Brazil is in a state of shock right now, but they are not doing very well, they are going through a crisis in their football, because they have drawn and lost games, even when they are not in their poropia home, maybe it is something they are in a state of shock, that I don't know how to explain, I hope they improve, because it is very difficult to determine which countries are going to the World Cup, even though I say Brazil will always be one of the favorites, just like Argentina, France and Germany, but this World Cup I have all the faith that Italy will go, so we have to look at things, because I don't see Italy in these predictions, and Italy is a good team, they have a very good local league, in fact right now I like how Juve and Inter are playing , and that gives a lot of motivation to things.
Now, we are people who have been seeing everything that is possible to do, for example things in the next World Cup will be different, it is the first time that 3 countries will do it and that seems great to me, the fact is that I believe that everything will focus on the USA, which seems great to me, just as it was in 1994 when it was a great World Cup, but a very sad World Cup for Colombia because it was that fateful own goal they scored that later cost the player his life. I still remember that even though it was very small, but things are like that, so given that the World Cup has always been 1 or 2 countries at most, this will be an experiment that I think will be very successful, because it will have 3 more venues. games because there are more selections to play, this seems super spectacular to me because the things that can happen here are different, now, when we think about what the world championship will be, it excites me more, due to the fact that we have more days of world.
It's certainly difficult to predict the winner of any World Cup and I think the majority thought that France would make it Qatar. And if we are honest, history is brutal because it is written everywhere that Argentina won it and nobody will ever talk about France except for those who saw the game or are French. Argentina worked harder and that is why the game brought forward the right winner in my opinion, but it should be mentioned that once this went into the penalty shootout, really, it could have been France as well. Italy, interesting you bring this up. I haven't paid a lot of attention to them in the last few months. We still have the European Championship before the World Cup and then we can go from there. But since these odds are out right now, I think nothing justifies to put Brazil at the top. If anything, it should have probably been France with a very slight advantage. But giving 50% higher odds for Argentina than for Brazil is puzzling to me. I thought about it and I can't come up with an explanation no matter how hard I try. |

I am sure that of the 3 competitions they are participating in this season, of course Leverkusen will be successful in one of them because leverkusen is one of the teams that is very consistent with their performances, always winning match. So, in DFP Pokal, Leverkusen will face VFB and if they win the match then they will be at the forefront to win the DFP Pokal trophy. In the European league, Leverkusen is also very strong and they are even among the candidates to win the title this season.
Well, in the Bundesliga I still have doubts about them because Bayern munich don't want to give up the bundesliga trophy this season where Bayern will fight tooth and nail to be able to defend Bundesliga trophy. Xabi alonso certainly wants his team to be able to work hard in every match because Xabi Alonso believes that if this season anything that happens must be focused on properly so that their hopes are not lost in a match they are playing.
That is absolutely correct about the DFB Pokal. I don't know, but somehow I think it is good that they are facing their fiercest opponent on home ground in the quarterfinal. For all the soccer fans everyone was hoping for a final between these two teams because they are apparently the strongest teams that are left over in the DFB Pokal, but for Leverkusen facing Stuttgart at home is much better than facing them in the final in Berlin on neutral grounds. That's a huge chance now for them to eliminate Stuttgart and then they are the only ones who can stop themselves. All those clubs that are left over are not 1. Bundesliga except for Gladbach. |

I think Damac's performance this season has improved a lot. Last season, Damac also finished in 8th place, which indicates that Damac's squad is one of the best in the SPL. And now Damac also has a number of points close to Al-ittihad. Because Damac is currently ranked 6th and is 1 point different from Al-ittihad which is ranked 5th. Meanwhile, Al-ta'ee is far below Damac. Namely, Al-Ta'ee is currently ranked 13th. Added to this is the position of Damac who will be the host of today's match. So I think there is no reason to hesitate in favoring Damac in this match.
I believe that its both a bit Damac playing well but also a bit Ittihad not playing that well too. We are talking about Ittihad who spent so much money getting all the great players and then playing this badly. Ittihad should be like within 5 points of the title, and if possible should have been top of the standings as well, not where they are. So if Damac is close to Ittihad, that is because Damac played well that's true but also because Ittihad has played terribly this season so far as well. It's not even just about getting stars, its about building a whole team, Damac did that, and even without Neymar look at his team? That's the thing about football, no matter how many stars you have, if there isn't a team that plays together, you will lose. Al Ittihad is only the fourth most valuable club in the Saudi Professional League, they are behind Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli. It's funny how some of the clubs pay more salary to a single player than their whole squad is worth  That doesn't sound to me as if it was making a lot of sense. Al-Nassr is worth around 165 million euros and Ronaldo alone earns 200 million I think? The same is going on with Al-Ittihad and Benzema. It's ridiculous in my opinion and shows how far off they are with their salaries. It doesn't make sense at all. But there is reason to do so. We didn't know much about Saudi clubs even a few years ago. They have come to the discussion by spending a lot of money. World star players like Neymar, Ronaldo and Benzema have been added to the squad. And this is why the world is now aware of Saudi clubs. We regularly discuss Saudi clubs. Adding players to the squad by spending a lot of money is part of Saudi Arabia's marketing strategy. Because if they didn't do it, the Saudi club wouldn't be so well known. Yes but there is a big problem with their policy. We all were discussing here whether they can become a threat to the European leagues and how much these players will improve the league and how attractive the game in Saudi Arabia will become. But Ronaldo is the only one is doing ok. He isn't even world class anymore and his body language says it all. He was focused so hard during the games with such a high body tension, but when you watch an Al-Nassr game you can see that a lot of the energy is gone. He has his moments because he is the best on the field, but it's not like it used to be. Benzema isn't in the media anymore, he literally disappeared. Neymar is injured all the time and now what is the conlcusion? I think that their model is in no way sustainable and it was fun to see that they did it, but simultaneously it wasn't much more than a fun experiment for a short period of time. The SPL lacks a ton of things to become serious competition for European leagues. |

After two matches without a win, then in this match Lazio managed to beat Empoli even with a clean sheet . But ya, even though Laizo managed to win, it looks like Lazio only relied on counter attacks. Because after all, according to the statistics in this match, in reality Empoli still has quite good statistics but unfortunately, Empoli did not manage to score a goal.
So yes, Empoli's defeat this time will of course keep Empoli in the relegation zone, but even so, Empoli still has a points gap that is not too far from the teams above them. Also, even though Lazio looks like they won easily in this match, but I personally not too impressed because ya, basically Lazio this season is not as good as last season because last season Lazio managed to finish in second place.
For Lazio it was a clean win, but Empoli had more attacks than Lazio and more ball possession. I know that Lazio has never really put emphasis on having the ball a lot within their team, but it is still an indicator that Lazio is missing a lot of the good things they were usually known for. The efficiency was good in this game and the defense seems to have been good as well, but it might also have been the weakness of Empoli to not make use of any of their attempts. But Lazio is still far away from the upper part of the table. AC Milan has to win this game or otherwise Fiorentina and Bologna will soon say hello to them. By the way, did anyone notice the positive trend for Bologna? I was surprised when I saw them so far up in the table and I only checked for them because they beat Inter Milan recently. |

Aston Villa will probably win their match today as it is a really easy one against Sheffield Utd. This means they will take the lead until the Liverpool - Arsenal match also. Of course most people are waiting for that match especially. Liverpool are technically the favoured side but we will see. I also feel myself closer to Liverpool in this match truthfully. Arsenal just couldn't win a single match at Anfield in the Premier League for 11 years. Can you imagine?  I think this series will continue and Liverpool won't lose this match too. It's an astonishing game so far with Aston Villa having 83% ball possession and yet Sheffield's defense isn't collapsing. The passing accuracy is, 50%, so every second pass goes to Aston Villa But time is Sheffield's best hope here. It doesn't look like they could land any counter attack in Aston Villa's box. Still a very long time to go in this game, but I was expecting an early goal from Aston Villa given their home record, which is insanely strong. |

Was ist that Ancelotti used him intentionally as some kind of center forward or did Bellingham begin to interpret his role on the field differently and then it turned out how dangerous he is at scoring? I can't recall whether Ancelotti wanted him to play that way or whether he decided to go for it and then it went so well for him that Ancelotti gave him maximum freedom. But whatever the case was, every team can only wish for a player like Bellingham who is so strong in literally any position and movement on the pitch.
Ancelotti positioned Bellingham like Kaka when he played for AC Milan, he put him as an Attacking Midfielder who also doubles as a false 9. Initially, many people were surprised by that, but the fact is that now he is the most fertile Midfielder in the Champions League this season. And it is effective in helping Real Madrid win every match, because Bellingham is almost never absent in all matches. But he has a high risk of injury due to fatigue. In the upcoming transfer market, Madrid should buy a pure striker, so that they don't just rely on Bellingham. This could set Bellingham apart from other players as he is not very prone to injuries. Since 2020 he only missed 6 games in 3.5 years, which is like nothing as all of those injuries were nothing too bad. His resilience and his consistency make him indispensable for Real Madrid and he is a blessing to the team as they took the risk and did not sign another striker when Benzema left. Yes Joselu, but that was still a risky move considering that nobody really knew how he would be doing in the Champions League and who could jump in if Joselu misses some games. But now they are all set for the season and can wait for the opportunity to sign one of the best strikers out there. |

I think PSG will keep focusing on the Champions League, where they're starving for triumph. Domestically, they focus on consistency and keeping important players fit for European contests. Nice and the others use it to assess reality, regroup, and improve consistency. The true battle is for second, with PSG likely to win unless something extraordinary happens.
because basically, PSG shouldn't have tough competitors in the French League. Even though several clubs are trying to reach them and perhaps PSG's performance has declined quite a bit, they are still at the top of the standings. We can say that the competition in the French league is not as strong as in other leagues. That's why they have a lot of opportunities to focus more on the Champions League as needed. but what happens is not that easy. because they almost didn't qualify for the previous group phase, almost no. But ultimately they were able to qualify thanks to their victory in the last match which incidentally was certainly very tense. And next, PSG will also play Real Sociedad, so it shouldn't be that difficult if they can really optimize. . If a club wants to compete with PSG on a fair level, any club would have to invest at least 300 - 400 million to buy new players. Given what the transfer prices are these days, that amount is probably still not enough. The PSG squad is so much more worse that it would be embarrassing if PSG ever fails to win the title. The difference between the clubs is so huge that money does indeed count here. I wouldn't say this if PSG was worth 100 million more because they have Mbappe, but the whole team is extremely far away from all of the other clubs. The Ligue 1 title is an obligation for them. |

I think there is no point in making a bid yet as both sides are waiting to see how Osimhen develops over the coming months. Napoli is of course hoping that he will soon continue to score all the time and that would give them a better position for any negotiations. But who knows, maybe some clubs have their eyes on him and wouldn't be sad if he doesn't do too well until they can come up with a smaller offer than what was initially asked as a transfer fee. But the question is whether Osimhen is good enough to strengthen a top team. I don't know. He is a good striker, but is he world class?
How many strikers are better than Osimhen in Europe presently? Harry Kane, Halland, and Mbappe (if you'd include him as a striker) are the strikers that are above Osimhen in Europe. So how do you want a striker to perform before he can be rated world-class? Osimhen in a top team will score goals the same way he's scoring at Napoli as far as the chances the chances are provided. Where he might have a problem is going to a team that struggles to create chances. Any team that wants to sign Osimhen should start bidding now. He's going to be among the hot players in the market this summer and a team that doesn't prepare won't be able to sign him. Harry Kane, Haaland, Mbappe, Martinez, maybe Guirassy from Stuttgart and then there are other players who are not pure strikers, but are important for the offensive game like Salah, Bellingham and others. A player is world class if he either blows away everyone's mind in one season by scoring 50+ goals in a year or when he continuously is among the top 3 strikers in the league for 3 years in a row. Then there are exceptions like Mbappe where everyone could see with blind eyes that he is world class. But I would never put Osimhen into the same category as Mbappe. Osimhen is very good, but he would be on the bottom of the list if Real Madrid were to bid for the players you mentioned. The price for him was way too high last summer. Did any club make an official offer for him last transfer window? |

An easy victory, I don't know. It should be a victory yes, but these games sometimes require patience more than anything else when one team is parking the bus. But under normal circumstances time should solve the problem when Alaves becomes tired slowly.
Real Madrid has the chance to finish the season before this winter break at the top of the table. They can get an equal number of points as Girona, but they have the better goal difference. I am not sure if it's the goals or the h2h duel between Girona and Real Madrid, but they got that covered as well.
We know better how Real Madrid is against low teams, indeed what we think Real Madrid will definitely win, then what you say needs patience for Real Madrid to be able to find opportunities to score, if it doesn't happen in the first half in the second half there are still opportunities with plenty of time. I think the table will soon be taken over even though the points are the same only the goal difference determines, then at the beginning of the year the matches will start again they only rest for two weeks with this break, of course I hope Madrid win against Alaves. What this has mostly demonstrated is once again that if a team wants to challenge the big teams like Real Madrid for the title, you can't expect any weaknesses even when they have games that were not the best. Real Madrid is efficient. No mistakes can be afforded if a team wants to end the season ahead of Real Madrid unless they really play bad. But Real Madrid has good players around who are ambitious enough to not just let a title go. They are all determined to make this a great season again as the last one wasn't all that great. |

But at the moment Crystal Palace is still more dangerous in Brighton's box. For Brighton this game is important to get back on track after they couldn't win two games in a row. The game against Arsenal was expected to be a loss, but before that they tied a game against Burnley, which was bad already and now they are again behind against a team from the lower part of the table. That would seriously damage their plans to qualify for the Europa League, which I think could be a realistic goal for them if they play their best. They are not good enough for the top four though.
even though Brighton actually had much bigger opportunities than Crystal Palace, but unfortunately they couldn't execute them well. So until now Brighton has not been able to score a goal. This is quite different from Crystal Palace where they were able to optimize their counter attacks so that in the end they could at least lead by 1 goal. This isn't over yet. However, if Brighton's attack and front line are still like that, the results will not change. It looks like the coach must immediately take action so that at least they can be more accurate up front... Because the minutes keep passing by I predicted a draw, but one with more goals, a 2-2. Brighton did wake up too late in this game as in the second half they were the team that had control and was pushing whereas Crystal Palace was busy defending. But I think the first half cost Brighton the win. After all in the Premier League there are no easy opponents. Looking at the names is easy, but that's not how the games end. This is now quite a setback for Brighton as the other teams in front of them still have their game to play and that could mean the gap widens significantly. It starts looking worse for them now. |

Even with two and a half years to go until the 2026 World Cup, there are already places with World Cup odds And incredibly, Brazil is in first place To tell you the truth, I don't agree, at the moment I don't see Brazil as favorite one anymore - Brazil 6.50
- France 6.50
- England 7.00
- Argentina 10.00
- Spain 10.00
- Germany 12.00
- Portugal 15.00
Source
What do you think? Have you seen this prediction anywhere else? Brazil are always one of the main favourites for the championship. But I found it strange that Argentina are in fourth place, although they managed to win the last tournament by beating France, who are second in the ranking. But I wasn't surprised by the list of contenders. I probably wouldn't have believed that England would win. But no, with all due respect I find these odds odd! Whatever data they took to calculate these odds, but putting Brazil first right now looks like a stupid mistake in an easy exam. The funniest thing about this is that Brazil never before had to be concerned to fail to qualify! I know that it's unlikely, but as far as I can remember they have never been worse during the qualification. Yet they are the favorites? Let them lose one more game and it could get horrible for them. Since so many teams qualify, they will make the cut, but given what is known today these odds are weird as I said. |

Leverkusen became my new idol club and even Xabi Alonso's troops became the first German team to go undefeated in the first 25 matches of the season. Seeing how the match with Bochum, which was a landslide 4.0, made Leverkusen a strong team and leading the German league standings with quite a distance in points from Bayern Munich. This is Bayer Leverkusen's 13th win in the 2023/2024 German League. They are increasingly firmly at the top of the standings with 42 points, 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich below.
But when Leverkusen makes some magic happen this season and wins the title, one thing that's concerning is how will the club go on afterwards. Xabi Alonso will be on the radar of every big club looking for a new coach and as most people know, Real Madrid is on the outlook for someone to substitute Ancelotti. That would be so much for the coach. Then there are the players and despite the relatively high market value of the team, they have increased the overall value by more than 1/3 in comparison to December of last year. That includes transfer investments of course, but they have still considerably increased in value. Which means that some of their most important players will also be the target for transfers. It would not be surprising if Xabi Alonso ends up going to Real Madrid and takes two players or so with him. This is mostly the sad ending of a good season for a club on its way up. Dortmund has been losing their best players all the time. |

Feyenoord is a great club in the Netherlands Eredivisie and their current form so far this season can attest to that but Jose Mourinho is a coach that doesn't joke with European competitions so he will really want to make sure that his boys give in their best in other to record a victory against feyenoord so definitely, the match between the both teams will be tough but I tip Roma to win feyenoord reason being that AS Roma have had more European appearances than Feyenoord so definitely with the experience Roma have gathered in European competitions they are most likely to win Feyenoord.
I would definitely not bet on Roma in this Europa League season and last season they weren't good either. The last game that convinced me because of the high quality play is a long time ago and it doesn't matter whether the coach is called Mourinho or something else. He can't really do any tricks besides the normal stuff he always does. It is so predictable what will happen during the game when Roma scores first. It doesn't mean they can't go for a few rounds in the Europa League. They can, but I think there chance to win the Europa League is vanishingly small. |

I do agree that Roma will have a bigger chance to beat Feyenoord, but that's football and we do not really know what will happen. Plus there are a lot of time left, which means that we may end up seeing them play, and maybe have some important players injured. Like look at Lukaku, he has been great, if he gets seriously hurt and ends the season, can we say Roma is still the favourites?
How can Roma has a bigger chance? Feyenoord isn't a weak team, they are capable to defeat AS Roma. Moreover, all the players of Feyenoord seem ready to fight all out for the match, they have no injury problem. It is different with AS Roma, some players got injured such as Smalling, Kumbulla, Aouar, Dybala, and Tammy Abraham. AS Roma also too depends on Lukaku to win the match. If Lukaku can't score goals, AS Roma probably fails to win the match. I am pretty sure that it may not be the case and we could end up seeing them change it all together. That's just how it is, it's football and injuries matter. I believe that we need to see the situation before we could decide who will win, and not really end up with anything else, bet very closely if you can. That would mean that if you bet just one day before the game, then it would be a lot more healthy for you.
The injury factor sometimes becomes the big factor of a team to play not in their best form. Losing the key players who have big roles, it will bring significant impact for the team. I'm not surprised if AS Roma can't perform as expected because they missed the players like Smalling, Aouar, and Dybala. We can feel it when Tammu Abraham injured for a long time. I agree that Feyenoord has at least the same chance as Roma to advance to the next round here. Roma is struggling in their domestic league whereas Feyenoord has been playing a great season, however they have had some games where they were not able to present their best game. They should not allow themselves to make any avoidable mistakes, I guess we agree on that, but that is no different for Roma either. |

Bayer Leverkusen provides a very long distance in points between second and first place. For Bayern Munich, this will provide encouragement to catch up on the points they are left behind, and of course Bayern Munich has an opponent that must be immediately defeated in order to take first place again. As long as Bayern Leverkusen remains consistent and can work well as a team, it will be easy for Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga this season.
Consistency is the key to winning streak matches and this particular concept of football is understandable by Xabi Alonso as he's keen on acquiring and inspiring his team to become tougher for any club to handle. Perpahes I'm waiting for Leverkusen to face any stronger side because that would be the real test because I belief there's absolutely no competitive contender that would draw points with Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen have become the eyes and current formidable club in the Bundesliga this season. Xabi Alonso side is unbeaten in all rounds and they have eyes on every major titles they've found right infront of them. I am very pleased to see that they were able to win their next games after they only had those two draws against Stuttgart and Dortmund. The good part about those draws was that it was against two teams they are actually fighting against for the title, meaning that those teams also couldn't gather those points. They kept the gap from decreasing, which is a positive outcome I guess. Maybe they can win their next game against Bayern Munich in February. That game could be key depending on how it goes for both teams until then. |

Currently they are up in a position where you qualify for the World Cup and their form recently have been in somewhat constant improvement.Sure they started these qualifiers not in the best of ways making quite a couple of false steps which at some point in the standings they were out of the qualifying positions but that is not the case anymore.
As for Brazilian coaches they tend to not do well in Europe but there is an exception and that is Sylvinho as the only Brazilian coach to have led a small country like Albania to be first of the group in Euro qualifiers and he will be the only Brazilian coach taking part in the Euro 2024 tournament.This is encouraging for them as before that the Brazilian coaches were only successful with a strong team like national team of Brazil.
I am wondering if we are looking at the same table for the Brazilian national team or if you have some other data available than anybody else, but my take is that Brazil lost all of their last three games in the World Cup qualifiers and they tied one game before that losing streak. This means they got 1 out of 12 points in the last four games. Does that look like constant improvement to you? Ancelotti is not Brazilian obviously, but it is possible that the president will make an exception here because he knows that there are hardly any coaches available at the same level as Ancelotti. It could be a wise choice to give him a chance. |

I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
The last part of your question can't be answered by anyone as I assume nobody here knows you and you may not be willing to share more information about your life. I think one thing to consider is whether you generally think you can get addicted to stuff, like when you are already someone who drinks more alcohol than the average person or takes drugs without being able to take breaks from them etc. If somebody asks you whether you think he gets addicted after some bottles of beer, how can you tell without having more information about that person? As for the best games and so on, I guess this is about your own preferences and trying out some of the games to see what you enjoy and what you don't enjoy. |

Gambling is kind of thing we do base on our knowledge and not basically that someone pushed us into it, I know that gambling have to do with something I know very well that most people who plays gambling doesn't quite in gambling because of someone's advice, the major reasons why so many of them leave gambling might be aa result much losing, so if you don't want to be participating in gambling due to you are not benefiting in gambling again, you can as well understand that you have to leave gambling base on your detriment and your betterment, gambling is something we do without anyone teaching us the way forward.
Someone who have been gambling so a while shouldn't quit gambling all because of the considerations they had with losses while gambling, they may only pause for a while when they are financially incapable of affording gambling or when they are having a complicated health challenges, most people cannot because of loosing bets take decision on quiting for gambling when they are already finding pleasure with it. When they are at a point in their life being unable to afford some gambling, maybe it would be better for them to quit gambling entirely and focus on building a financially free life based on hard work. If gambling can blow a hole into their bank accounts such that it has profound subsequent consequences, choosing to gamble is a bad choice in my opinion and instead they should make more general and basic plans to change their lives instead of waiting from paycheck to paycheck to be able to gamble again. |
