earlier, they would pay peanuts.

now they don't even do that..

It is the 79th minute and Porto is not doing much more than Casa Pia honestly as the stats shows somewhat of an equal game.I would love though for Porto to win as they would keep mathematically open for another game at least the Liga Portugal although I doubt that anyone else except Benfica deserves to win it more than anyone else and simply for because what they have given to the fans so far,better plays than any other team in Liga Portugal and their performance in European competitions was much better than any other team here.

I only hope for Porto to win their game for the people who have bet on them.

I looks like until play-off game starts, there will be low interest to this tournament. So far there were no big news (despite team Hungary managed to make one goal against USA probably their first goal against such strong team in their history) . Only team USA outplayed champions, team Finland 4-1, but these are only preliminary stage, so everything is still in future. Btw, if a team bets strongest team in prelims, they always lose to them in play-off.

wow, an unexpected result from a match Marozsan F. Vs Alcaraz C., Alcaraz lose in 2 straight sets to Marozsan which is ranked 135 in ATP.
i think this is his first loss in round 32 from 7 events that he joins and I even pick him for the final vs Djokovic -_-

I'm curious about which betting platforms were accepting bets for the Eurovision song contest?

Finland almost won after being so behind after judges voted. For some reason I don't like judges voting they tend to vote for more known names.

Loreen's song was ok, with that voice you can make anything sound more than decent, but i think it was travesty that Sweden won. Finland would have won by landslide a with old rules without judges. I mean even the audience was chanting CHA CHA CHA loudly right after Sweden got their win, so that must have been an awkward moment for Loreen as käärijä had won the hearts of the public already.

I honestly feel like this might have something to do with the fact that next year when Sweden gets to host Eurovision (they are good hosts so it will be great tv), Abba turns 50 years. And sweden wasn't top favourite in public vote of any country. That seems like judges would have been paid off and whole thing planned.

And i lost money by betting on Käärijä, but i can't complain for that as that was exciting as hell to the end.

Russia seems to be letting their performance do the talking unlike most of the rest of the world who seem totally focused on 'selfie' style chestbeating past the level of absurdity.  Trying to puff yourself up in the eyes of others is a sure sign of fatal insecurity.  It's the world live in, I guess, and Ukraine is a poster-child for making their whole existence up out of ridiculous Hollywood-style fakery and fiction.

Apparently, the RF psychos decided to celebrate Eurovision by sending a missile to the home town of the group representing Ukraine right before they started the performance. There is nothing anyone could say that speaks louder than this nor better describe what has the RF become under Putin and the court of Psychopaths that currently compete for being the Chief Psychopath.

Looks like it has become popular to run tournaments in several countries. IIHF today, FIFA World Cup in Canada, US and Mexico. Amazing that tournament is hosted again in Riga and Tampere, as these two hosted 2021 and 2022 tournaments Lucky locals, they have huge chances to watch IIHF live.

As pictures shows, my predictions are the following, from both groups first 4 teams gonna advance to play-off. It wont be a surprise if teams Canada, USA, Finland and Sweden are the strongest, but I am gonna focus more on Switzerland and Germany. These two happens to surprise me with their games from year to year.

Didn't you like Yars mobile strategic complexes at the parade? More serious than tanks.

I am going to quote this post. I am sure that when the Ukrainian offensive that is not happening and will never happen because it was all scam results in the RF army "leaving non strategic positions, that were never wanted, as a gesture of goodwill and as a part of a wider plan that Putin has for the world" we will be able to re-discuss the concept of "victory" and "defeat".

as expected West Ham won the game, but it was not an easy game for West Ham who during the game were losing until the 67th minute when they were lucky enough to benefit from a penalty and with that the game was tied, but West Ham got lucky again in the 5th minute when they scored the second goal and with that they just needed to manage the result well until the end of the game, a fact and this is not a result that guarantees West Ham in the second leg, they were the first to concede a goal and were lucky enough to benefit from a penalty kick i.e. the opponent is strong, it should not be underestimated because they still have a chance of winning and moving on to the final

the game that, in a way, left us surprised with the result, the game between fiontentina against baseeia, fiorentina scored first, they were supposed to be able to defend the result well and leave this game with a victory, but what we saw was basel scoring a goal tie and to make matters worse, fiorentina had the misfortune of conceding a goal in the 92 + 2 minutes, it was too late for fiorentia to react, with this defeat i very much doubt that fiorentina will be able to win in the second leg, i see baseia in the final, they play better than Fiorentina, and it's a shame that Fiorentina is falling back from performance

Just because they managed to beat United doesn't mean that they are great, United scored on their own goal twice, and they had some silly funny mistakes that was humiliating for the fans but they lost because of that in the end which makes Sevilla not that great. We need to understand that it is not going to be that great for them, and they can't really change much about it neither.

It's just how it is and we need to move on. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that Juventus has high morale, they are getting punishments after punishments from the league which drops the morale sometimes, if they can stop that and keep the players hyped about this game then they could end up with a win without a doubt.

I think Juventus will get it, I know that most people think that Sevilla is on a good roll and they have done as well as they hoped for and Juventus has been troubling and have some issues on top of their head and when you combine all those facts together it looks like Juventus will fail. But the reality is that we are not going to really see anything like that, we are going to end up with something much better and that will end up with something much bigger and better for Juventus.

I feel like it is going to end up with a good result eventually for Juventus. When you attack a team from all fronts, you make the players stick together a lot more and that is why I feel like that's going to be the case for this game as well, they will probably get a win.
