Ghana also very dissapointing because they had just lost in the first match against Cape Verde with narrow scores
Ghanaians would have bantered Nigerians if Nigeria had lost their game to Eq Guinea. They ended up loosing their own game against Cape Verde who would have been underrated before the game, but to me played better yesterday in their game than even Ghana who were the expected team to win. The team representing Cape Verde, have many confident players who if they continue can do very well in this competition. Egypt on their side completed the trio of big teams expected to win their first games that did not meet up, that is Nigeria, Ghana and Egypt. More pressure will be on the teams to win their second games.
I love the fact that Cape Verde defeated Ghana yesterday to in their CAF African Cup Of Nations opener. The defeat has somehow silent the Ghanaian fans who are very good in throwing banters against at Nigerian fans. After Nigeria played out a draw against Equatorial Guinea, Ghanaian fans were all over different social media platforms laughing at Nigerian fans on how their team couldn't beat Equatorial Guinea despite having a superior quality players in their squad but little did they know that Cape Verde were going to teach them a lesson in their own game.

Another surprising result in the games that was played yesterday was Egypt's draw against Mozambique but what was even more surprising in the game was the fact that Egypt had to come from behind to draw level in the game. Mohammed Elneny needs to leave Arsenal if he truly wants to improve his current performance because from what I saw him display yesterday, it's clear that his lack of playing time at the club is seriously affecting his confidence as a player. He wasn't effective as he used to be in that game and that was why he was substituted. Mohammed Salah scored the equalizer by converting from the spot and register his first goal of the tournament

InterMilan's consistent performance and the potential impact on Juventus' chances for the Scudetto. It's true that the competition is fierce, and a lot can happen in the remaining matches. Allegri's focus on keeping Juventus consistent is most important, and anything can happen in football. Let's stay hopeful and enjoy the journey of the season. Wishing the best for Juventus in the upcoming games!
Juventus has the ambition to win the Scudetto this season. The distance between juventus and Inter Milan is close enough that the competition for title will continue until the end of this season. Juventus will face Sassuolo in the next match which juventus can take advantage of to get 3 points in this match. But in the two previous matches, Sassuolo was able to beat Juventus, so this match was really quite crucial for Juventus. Because if they fail then they will be even further behind Inter milan who are at the top of the standing. Sassuolo are not very strong this season as they have not been very impressive in their performances in the last 5 matches in Serie A.

For Allegri, he thinks that his team will appear confident because they are playing at their home base and are ready to fight to get 3 points. Indeed, sometimes juventus has difficulty being able to bring down the mentality of their opponents quickly because this season Juventus does not have strikers who are productive enough in scoring goals. For Sassuolo, I see that they are determined to find points in this match and it is very likely that they will implement a stronger defense to prevent juventus from breaking into their goal.
Before Inter Milan's convincing win against Monza over the weekend, they were just two points ahead of Juventus abd that goes a long way to tell how close the two teams have been contesting for the Italian Serie A title since the start of the season and should for any reason the Juventus manages to beat Sassuolo tomorrow in their league fixture they'll still go back to just two points behind league leaders Inter Milan.

Inter Milan are playing in the UEFA champions league competition this season and that's why they're doing everything possible to extend their lead at the top of the league standings by a good marginal difference before the return of the UEFA champions league competition in February. Juventus on the other hand aren't playing in Europe and are particularly interested in winning the Italian Serie A so they'll continue to put pressure on Inter Milan till they overtake them. The Italian Serie A is getting more interesting as the weeks go by

Either you are successful or a responsible gambler, my people don't care, they will give you names that's suited for a addicted gambler and possibly stamp it on you forever, the way my country people thinks can be annoying at times.

From my own point of view, I don't see anything wrong here, a successful gambler might at one point struggle with gambling addiction and won the battle, such people will eventually become a better gambler and grow with time, but whatever people will say is just peoples opinion, most of them will never look at a successful gambler as a real man.

It's possible that those who ridicule you when you are a poor gambler can make a turn and start trying to get closer to you once you are successful, mind you, it's human nature, people are too shameless, but just have it in mind that once that money fades away they will always disappear from your life.
I perfectly understand your point about people of your country always tagging almost everyone they see engaging in gambling as gambling addicts and that's absolutely fine provided that the gamblers there controls their gambling activities. Like I shared in one topic in this thread, in some environments, gambling is seen as a bad vice that shouldn't be engaged in by anyone who truly mean well for him or herself and if for any reason you come from this kind of environment, you'll very likely to be seen as a gambling addict even when you're always in full control of your gambling engagements and doesn't play gambling like addicts.

To be a successful gambler is different from being an addict but because to some people, they'll have to be consistent in their gambling engagements to be successful in gambling, they're considered by many as gambling addicts. So if a gambler is always consistent in his gambling engagements, he's very likely to be called a gambling addict by many but that's doesn't mean that he's a gambling addict

Fenerbahçe played well and won tonight. They got 3 points with the goal of İrfan Can Kahveci. Some people say it was offside, but it was a clear goal.
Dzeko missed the penalty.
Dominik Livaković made a very critical save in the last minutes, if the goal had been scored they would have lost 2 points.

Fenerbahce is definitely keeping up the pressure for Galatasaray to win their game. I think if Galatasaray drops points, we may soon see Fenerbahce running away from the rest. Their second game will be at the end of the season pretty much. It's in May and if they stay close to each other that game could become an extremely exciting final for the title. But it is still a long way to go until then. Both teams are doing well. However, I like how Fenerbahce is doing so well with their attacking game. This is a little weakness for Galatasaray, but the results have still been ok for them.

Fenerbahçe made the point difference with Galatasaray 5 with more matches, but today Galatasaray wins and the point difference becomes 2 again.
Because Kayserispor has always been defeated in the last 4 matches.
They are having problems scoring goals. He sold a player like Thiam, who contributed directly to goals to the team, to Pendikspor.
Currently, Kayserispor has financial difficulties and this affects the team. If their bad performance continues, they will be in the relegation zone.
Galatasaray currently has a squad shortage, but I still think they can win easily.
Fenerbahce really fought for the Turkish Super Lig title last but lost to eventual winners Galatasaray but this season they've gone a step better than that of last season to make sure they win the Turkish league and qualify to play in the UEFA champions league. Galatasaray started the season better than their strongest rivals Fenerbahce but recently lost the first position of the league table to Fenerbahce and yesterday, Fenerbahce grabbed all three points from their away game at Gaziantep to further extend their lead at the top of the league standings to five points.

However, Galatasaray have a league game against Kayserispor later today and as the home team, I expect Galatasaray to comfortably defeat their visitors and narrow their points difference behind Fenerbahce back to just two points. It seems like the Turkish Super Lig will be more keenly contested than it's been in recent years but one thing that's sure is that one of the two top sides are surely gonna win the league

The performances of the teams in this season's UEFA has made very difficult to predict the favourite team to win the competition but I also think that there are few clubs in the competition that should be seen as the favorites to win the competition.
Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich has shown enough strength and consistency to be considered as the three teams in the competition that are strong enough to win the trophy.  Defending champions are the most predicted team to win the competition but I'll be banking in Real Madrid to win the European Cup for the fifteenth time
Predictions about Champions League are never been easy with things are going very interesting in coming days all are going to face the toughest challenges and nothing is clear who is going to have advantage for the jumping into last eight mostly peoples are talking about Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich which is ok but ignoring Inter Milan is surely not ideal as they are also having enough potential to stay into hunt for the title and take control until last minute.

Their attack and defense is surely at his best, and they can give shock to any top team in Champions League even they are not considered as the top contender for the title Real Madrid and Manchester City are surely still in the best shape but still we have to wait for the next round before having any solid prediction.
Inter Milan without doubt have been impressive this season both in the UEFA champions league competition and in the Italy Serie A and they possess all the needed quality players to help them win the UEFA champions league trophy and as well as the Italian Serie A title but I didn't include them in my favourite teams to win the UEFA champions league trophy this season because I think they still got a little more to do to earn my recognition as one of the few favorites to win the UEFA champions league competition. Personally, I don't think they rank in the same level as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich have proven over the past three years of how consistent they can be and with the quality of players in each of the above mentioned three teams, Inter Milan I think have to do more to reach that level if you ask me. Inter Milan are a great club in Europe but until they give me a reason to think otherwise, they're not match to Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich
1066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 15, 2024, 08:41:32 AM
~Snip~
Bayern are playing a more flexible game on the pitch, whereas they used to play with a pressing character. Their attacks are not so aggressive and effective compared to before. Even though Bayern plays very well on the pitch, it is certain that they are in a weak position compared to their rivals in the Champions League. They give too many positions. Even though he didn't have a striker, it was better under Nagelsman in my opinion. I think Tucheli will be sent at the end of the season.
Tuchel is still worth keeping based on the results achieved by Bayern Munich, they are still in the title race this season. The 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim was a good result achieved by Munich, the sharpness of their attack line is still very effective, Harry Kane is also still able to maintain his performance well. The increasing performance of Bayer Leverkusen means that Bayern Munich has to work hard to regain control of the standings, one more win achieved by Bayern Munich makes the difference between the two to one point. Tuchel just needs to keep his team's performance consistent, the opportunity to win the title is still very open, he hasn't failed yet because the competition is still ongoing and his team position is still active in the hunt for trophies.
Thomas Tuchel is a great manager and to me one of the best managers that are currently practicing professional coaching in world football and his records I think backs my claims to an extent. But since he was appointed as Bayern Munich manager, he's actually not been as effective and influential like he used to be. Last season, Bayern Munich we're very close to losing the German Bundesliga and had Borussia Dortmund won their last game of 2022/23 league season, they would've won the league while leaving Bayern Munich without a major trophy.

This season Bayern have been impressive but the fact that a team like Bayer Leverkusen are currently at the top of the league standings, I feel they're supposed to do better than they're currently doing. Bayern Munich's squad is unarguably the most best in the league in terms of quality of players and that's why they're supposed to be at the top of the league at this very time of the season. Bayer Leverkusen are yet to lose a game this season in the league and aren't even showing any sign of declining in form and if for any reason they win the league title while Bayern Munich fail to win the UEFA champions league, then I think it'll definitely be a poor season for Thomas Tuchel
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 15, 2024, 08:32:28 AM
* Stop when you have a big winning, by channeling the money somewhere else so you won't lose it back to gambling.
Good advice but remember that this isn't a frequent for a lot of games so make sure to know what's the amount of winning that you're truly going to stop because big is a relative or subjective term for each individual so make sure that you've got a metric or something like that. For me, it's when the win is reaching the thousand dollars territory, I always quit playing after a win like that and so far I haven't won that amount in a long time.

* Stop when you are not even winning at all, it's not your thing.
Difficult to do because your lose streak is definitely going to make you frustrated which makes you want to play even more in the hopes that you might hit the win and make all the frustrations go away. The better thing to do rather than this would be to set a time or duration for your gambling rather than setting an amount of losses before quitting.
While it's very common among gamblers to lose in gambling, winning in gambling doesn't happen to many and that's why it's always advisable for gamblers to always make good use of the winnings they get as they do not know when next they can  are gonna win again. One common advice that we've seen countless times in this thread is the advice of stopping our gambling activities immediately we win big in other not to lose back our winnings to gambling again but I don't think it's as easy as many people think.

When a gambler wins big, he'll be motivated to even play more so he can win more and if on the course of trying to win more he starts losing his initial wins, he'll be very unlikely to quit at that time because he'll not just be trying to win more but trying to get back his initial wins. Controlling ones emotions at that very critical time isn't an easy task because the person is already under serious tension but as gamblers, it's very important we learn to control our emotions even in critical times.

Congratulations to the Supercopa champions, Real Madrid!

I still can't believe that the match was considered finished when the first half ended because with Barcelona's defensive blunders, Real Madrid was able to score 2 quick goals and here Vini has scored a brace in the early minutes. It didn't stop there and even though Lewandowski shortened the score with a hard kick from outside the penalty box, it wasn't enough to bring Barcelona back. After that, it was Araujo's turn to foul Vini in the defensive area and I asked who would take the penalty kick considering that Luka Modric was still on the bench. Surprisingly, the kick was taken by Vini and he shot his shot towards the right of the goal guarded by Inaki Pena and at the same time closed the first half with a hat trick which he scored.

After that the match continued and in the second half Barcelona still couldn't penetrate Real Madrid's goal which was guarded by Lunin and even though they often had opportunities, Lunin managed to thwart them all. Real Madrid attacked again and it was a counter attack and Barcelona didn't seem to have learned how to prevent players with the high speed that Real Madrid has and thanks to an assist from Vini, Rodrygo scored the 4th goal and at the same time it was a landslide victory in the Supercopa final.

A little note, several Barcelona players made fatal blunders and especially for Kounde he was a problem with the goals scored by Vini and Rodrygo and I think Xavi has to improve his defense after this if he still wants to compete. Araujo also received a red card for fouling Vini twice and had to be sent off, which made Barcelona's defense even more devastated and they conceded a goal.
Like you said, congratulations to Real Madrid for adding another trophy to the club's trophy cabinet in one of the most entertaining fashion. Real Madrid have been a better team than their yesterday's Spanish Super Cup opponents Barcelona since the start of the season. It was the second time that the both teams were facing each this season and Real Madrid who won in their first fixture also grabbed the win yesterday but it was more embarrassing than the first game as they defeated Barcelona by 4 goals to 1

Real Madrid's attacking line was their biggest threat in that game yesterday as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo made Barcelona defense look absolutely toothless. The four goals that was scored by Real Madrid were all converted by the two Brazilian superstars in the team and the club manager Carlo Ancelotti couldn't contain his joy

Haaland and Salah are both at 14 goals.

Momo will skip games during this month for the African cup, for this reason it will be even easier for Haaland winning the goal leaderboard this season.
Currently the two players are topping the charts for English Premier League top scorer and since they're currently absent in the league, question have been raised about who will win the English golden boot between the two players at the end of the season. Mohammed Salah is currently playing for his national team in the African Cup Of Nations and should his country reach the final, he's only expected to be back in the English Premier League by second week of February. Erling Haaland is currently injured and expected to be back in one or two weeks time.

The two players have the qualities and capabilities of winning the golden boot but if you should ask me , I think Erling Haaland will win it ahead of Salah.

Nigeria 1 - 1 Equatorial Guinea

 Shocked

I confess that I am surprised by this result, I expected that Nigeria would be able to win this game, but Equatorial Guinea managed to surprise, they had 49% possession of the cake, making the game balanced in terms of ball possession, perhaps This is a great sign that the big African teams of the past are not that big today, today there is more balance between all teams, so it is likely that in this AFCON we will see some surprise in relation to the team that will win the AFCON.

Everyone who watched the game will agree with me that Nigeria team wasn't playing like a team. It was more of an individual showcase and the midfield was really lacking. The fact that Eq Guinea can move the ball from their half all the way to Nigeria's final 3rd says a lot. The few services that Oshimen received, he squander about 70% of those chances.



I just confirmed': Ghana Lost to Cape Verde. What a day! Nigeria drew with an underdog, Egypt had to work really for 1 point and Ghana lost all 3 points to Camp Verde? This competition is beginning to get more interesting.


Despite the quality and world class players in the squad of the Nigeria Super Eagles, they still couldn't beat Equatorial Guinea in their opening match of the tournament on Sunday and that I think was caused by the poor tactical approach of their head coach José Peseiro. The Portuguese manager appears clueless and probably doesn't know what to do to change the playing pattern of his team even when they're struggling in such an important game.

But another shocking result was Ghana's defeat to Cape Verde and if things continue this way, then an underdog might win this edition of the CAF African Cup Of Nations

Agent Mbaape offers, whoever wants to get his services then they must be ready to give a salary of € 10 billion. A very fantastic value, last year Mbaape extended the contract at PSG and got a salary of €72 million. Mbaape's contract is only until this year, there is news if Mbaape wants to extend the contract and Madrid and Liverpool are still the main enthusiasts, but with the conditions proposed by his mother then it looks very expensive. I'm afraid it will make Mbaape's career even more lost.  Are there any clubs interested in him?

Source: https://www.goal.com/id/daftar/paris-saint-germain-kylian-mbappe-gaji-eur10-miliar-ligue-1-real-madrid/blt9fc1fe915fb9f48a#csf740519d8ac9a31f

I'm not still completely sure about this but I think Mbappe wants to just get more lary and that's why he doesn't choose the next destination until the last day. He did the same last time and made PSG to spend much more than usual to keep this player and now it seems we are going to see the same thing and Mbappe is just waiting to increase his offers but I guess in the end he will stay in PSG.

Kylian Mbappe I think knows exactly what he wants as a player and that's why he's not been doing much and granting interviews concerning his future. I'll be extremely surprised if for any reason the France national team captain extend his contract at Real Madrid again because he's playing in his final season of his current contract and as a player of his status, he was supposed to have reached out agreement already to extend his contract. So for him not to have extended his contract till this very moment, it surely means that he wants to leave the French champions at the end of the season. A lot of clubs have been reported as he potential destination but the most popular all of the is Real Madrid and I'm sure that should Mbappe leave Paris Saint Germaine, he's definitely gonna join Real Madrid

Bezema is clearly behaving in a very unprofesional way, and is very sad seeing this from a 35+ years old player, but we already know surely is because he wants to force a comeback to X team in europe, anyways is a bad behavior for his companions and the whole team including coach.
When Benzema went there at the beginning of the year, I didn't really believe him when he said he didn't go there for the money. This is clear for the money that goes to Saudi Arabia. If he expected a place like France, he was wrong. Culture and Geography are difficult for people who are not used to it. I read that he wanted to leave the team during the break, but I don't think there will be a team that will pay him a transfer fee. I heard that many European players will leave the SPL. It must be a difficult situation.

At least, several other European players are also reportedly uncomfortable settling in Saudi and therefore, several other players such as Henderson, Firminho and several other playersare also rumored to be leaving in this January transfer window . But indeed, about Benzema unprofessional behavior, such as often not coming to training sessions, also made the team end up not liking Benzema methods like that. Because after all, Benzema is the team captain and as such, Benzema should remain professional and not do silly, childish things like that.
I don't even expect a player that has spent all his professional football career playing in Europe to come to Saudi Arabia and automatically replicate his performances in Europe even when we've seen players that's quickly adapted to conditions of the league. Player like Cristiano Ronaldo adapted quickly but shouldn't be used as a yardstick to determine the performance of other former European based players. That being said, we must tell ourselves the truth concerning some of the behaviors of Karim Benzema that are not professional enough for a player of his status and calibre. According to some reports in Saudi Arabia, the former France international doesn't report to trainings as much as he's expected to abd that's actually not a good thing

Once again the fans of Leverkusen started to ask Xabi Alonso about Real Madrid nad if he is going change his tam to Real MAdrid or not but Xabi ALson gave unclear answer.
However, Ancelotti recently extended his contract with Real Madrid but when the fans asked Xabi Lason about Real Madrid he said I'm on Erasmus just like you (Erasmus meaning when someone goes to study in another country & then returns to his country after a few years).
 to

Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has actually done a lot of incredible work and has helped his team to be at the top of the German Bundesliga for a very long time and that has actually made people to tip him for the managerial job at Real Madrid but that news of his proposed move to Real Madrid was put to rest after current Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract contract at the club. With the extension of Carlo Ancelotti contract at Real Madrid till the summer of 2026, I think the Real Madrid manager is gonna stay at the club for at least the next two years so it's safe to say that Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso isn't under any pressure to leave his current job

How about you as a Lotto bettor do you buy more tickets when the prize skyrocketed and how many more tickets are you adding

No, for me a single ticket is enough entry to win the jackpot if one is destined to win.  In my view, buying extra ticket is just a waste of money.  If one will win, he will win, even if he buy only one ticket.  This had been a proven case where many people had been buying more than one tickets but they failed to win a jackpot price.  Remember only one number combination will win the jackpot price so any other number combination one buy is a waste or money besides, adding one more ticket may probably increase your chance to win to 100% but in overall statistics that chance does not even 0.1% increase to win the jackpot price.
In as much as we all know that there's every possiblity that someone with just one ticket can win big even more than someone with multiple tickets, we must not shy away from the fact that the more number tickets a bettor has the more chances of his winning. So I think it's it better to get as many tickets as possible to increase ones chances of winning.

Real Madrid has always been linked with Mbappe and Osimhen but in reality Real Madrid has not given any indication that Real Madrid management will make an offer for these two players in this transfer window. I don't think Ancelotti will take a big gamble to recruit Osimhen because Osimhen performance has declined relatively this season, which could be a big blunder if Real Madrid recruit him. Even without a suitable replacement for the position left by Benzema, it seems that gap can be covered well by Ancelotti this season.

It is true that Real Madrid are looking for a goal machine for their center forward this season but I don't think they will be in a rush to target a quality striker this season. If we look at Real Madrid, they are almost transitioning their squad from old players to young players, so there is a reference that Real Madrid management will look for young talented strikers to prioritize in the long term.
The absence of concrete indications about Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe and Osimhen doesnt mean they dont observe those players. It's clear that Real Madrid need to strengthen their front line that makes them need to evaluate every option available. I think the approach towards recruiting Osimhen, citing a potential decline in performance this season, is just a practical consideration. It's essential for clubs to carefully assess the current form and consistency of players before making significant investments.

Ancelotti's management style and ability to manage the squad without rushing into a major signing, especially in the center forward position left by Benzema, demonstrates a strategic approach. I don't think Real Madrid is in transition from older to younger players, because their squad is quite young now. It's just Modric and Kroos who are at the end of their career, while most of their midfielders are young enough. Prioritizing young and talented strikers aligns with a long-term vision that ensures sustained success and continuity within the squad. This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also lays the foundation for the team's future.
There is a report that's been making the rounds in the media for the past two days that if Real Madrid should fail to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germaine, they're gonna switch their interest to Nigeria international Victor Osimhen as they believe that Osimhen will be a more suitable player for the playing pattern of the club than Kylian Mbappe but I don't agree with that report to an extent and that's because I know that Kylian Mbappe is one player that can perfectly and effortlessly fit in any teams attacking line.

Carlo Ancelotti has been winning games and trophies with the team even without a recognized striker so I think he'll definitely use any of striker between Mbappe and Osimhen should any of them be signed to the club.

Aston Villa made me sad by failing to win against Everton today as my bet lost.  Undecided  I was actually excited in the second half because Aston Villa really dominated the half. Everton didn't even have a shot on target in the half but still they managed to secure a draw by 0-0. I don't know how there was no goal in this game honestly.

The other game was quite delightful to watch. Tottenham were always in the game and managed to score the equalizer every time. Manchester United couldn't do what they did to Aston Villa this time. But at least Hojlund continued to make progress by making a contribution of one goal and an assist.  Smiley

I lost my parley bet due to Aston Villa as well. What's even more painful is that I had Aston in multiple acca slips. Under/Over, winning either half, or 1x2. All the selections lost. I might have have heard the commentator say this is Aston Villa's first 0-0 draw in a long, long time. I honestly expected Aston Villa to win today considering how active they are in the active with the combination of Watkins + Diaby + Bailey.

Well, some days are like that and we'd just have to move forward. The Man Utd game was interesting to watch. I expected a high scoring in Aston Villa game and low scoring in that Man Utd game due to the fact that Man Utd love to close at their game whenever they've a 1-0 lead like Chelsea does. The reverse was the case in today's fixtures.
Undoubtedly, Aston Villa has been very impressive since the start of the season and it's because of their consistent performance in the English Premier League that they currently occupy the third position of the league table but playing away at Everton, I don't expect them to easily win the game. A lot of people actually did stake their money on the game with the prediction that Aston Villa are gonna win the game which I think was surprising to me because Everton have also been performing well in the league this season and if not for their 10 point deduction by the English FA for their alleged breach of financial sustainability rules, they should've been in a good position in the league by now.

Real Madrid won too easily over Barcelona with a score of 4-1, even though Barcelona had to play with 10 players from the 71st minute after Ronald Araújo received a second yellow card, but Real Madrid's performance was quite impressive from the first minute. Vinicius Junior become the man of the match for Real Madrid in this El Clasico match, his first hat trick this season was against Barcelona and unbelievable how weakness with Barcelona defense conceded four goals on crucial match.

I am expected with el clasico will be interested match but too easy for Real Madrid defeat Barcelona and waiting tomorrow day what the funny meme will share by Real Madrid fans  Grin.
I've been following the development at the Spanish clubs since the start of the season and that's I strongly predicted that Real Madrid are gonna win the Spanish Super Cup tonight because they've shown that they're too formidable to lose against Barcelona. Barcelona were totally outclassed in the game and as they tried to find their way back to the game but couldn't stand the electrifying attacking talents at Real Madrid.

Vinicius Jr was undoubtedly the best player of the night as the Brazilian went on to score hat trick in the game to give his team full control of the game before Rodrygo added the fourth goal for Real Madrid and seal the win Real Madrid. Real Madrid has once again shown that they're the most successful football club in Europe.

This year we don't have a clear favorite for winning the Champions League,even Manchester City who looked like the strongest team in their domestic league they are having some volatility and suffering some bad results,the same for Barcelona and Real Madrid,also for Bayern Munchen who for me are the top 4 strongest contenders to the Champions League title.For the Italian teams Inter is doing pretty well in their domestic league but since they were in just one half 3 goals down in a game of Champions against Benfica at group stages this shows they are more fragile than the strongest contenders.The other teams we don't know their capability but surely they look much down in performance compared to these top teams.

The Champions League competition is highly unpredictable, and I don't believe a winner can be determined at this point. Looking back at how the group stage went for many teams, we can easily see how difficult the game ahead will still be, with no one knowing what the final result of the competition will be. The favourite team was chosen based on their performances in the group stage matches as well as their league performances. That alone does not guarantee that they will win the competition; they must put forth their best effort to prevail and advance to the competition’s finals.
The performances of the teams in this season's UEFA has made very difficult to predict the favourite team to win the competition but I also think that there are few clubs in the competition that should be seen as the favorites to win the competition.
Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich has shown enough strength and consistency to be considered as the three teams in the competition that are strong enough to win the trophy.  Defending champions are the most predicted team to win the competition but I'll be banking in Real Madrid to win the European Cup for the fifteenth time

Roma couldn't get good results so far with Mourinho even after all the money they spent and all the players they bought during the summer and this is the reason to say Mourinho is about to leave Roa soon after the end of this season and Roma should think another coach to take his place.
There is the chance for Roma to use their former superstar player, Daniele De Rossi as coach for this team, De Rossi knows Roma very well.


How much money did AS Roma spend in the transfer market? I'm sure not much because Roma is not a team that will spend a lot of money on the transfer market like other teams in Serie A, in fact they sold some of their players at quite good prices, and that is why Jose Mourinho at Roma will not be like when he was at Chelsea. Inter Milan or Real Madrid can bring their team to win many titles, even though Mourinho can actually be said to be quite successful at Roma because he has won the conference league title and also brought Roma to the European league final, but a team that has difficulty spending money in the transfer market will also be quite difficult to always compete well with other teams to get the title, so leaving Roma might be the best choice, and De Rossi knowing Roma well is no guarantee that he will be a good coach to make Roma even better.
Yes AS Roma did not spend that much money to support Jose Mourinho to bring something good to them, he still has many shortcomings in the squad he currently has. On the one hand, we can't blame Mourinho for this because he doesn't get maximum support from the club, but on the other hand, the supporters hope that there is something that can change them even though they don't have a large budget to support the coach.
This is risky in my opinion, because now Jose Mourinho hasn't brought big changes, I won't say he failed but it couldn't be better. However, when they decide to look for a new coach, there is no guarantee that the coach will be better than Mourinho, or could even be worse. This decision must be thought through carefully, because this will have an impact on them in the future.

I don't agree with you, Roma supported Mourinho enough and maybe it was mostly because of his reputation and popularity otherwise they could get him fired even sooner than this. Mourinho is a good coach but Rima helped him enough and they even bought a player like Lukaku for Mourinho while other teams like Inter Milan and Juventus were both linked to this player and Roma hired him to support their coach Mourinho.

Before we criticize Jose Mourinho and what he's done so far at Roma, let's not forget that the Portuguese manager helped the club to win the UEFA Conference League in his first season at the club and last season, he also took them to the final of the UEFA Europa League competition before they narrowly lost to eventual winners Sevilla. AS Roma hasn't been delivering great performances this season like most people expected of them but it doesn't change the fact that Jose Mourinho is still a world class manager that's still gonna be recognized and hired immediately by other top European clubs should Roma sack him.

Enjoyed a wonderful match between Monza vs Inter team in today's match in Italian League. Inter team won the match today by scoring 5 goals. On the other hand Monza team scored 1 goal. From the beginning to the end of the game Inter team players played very well. H.  Çalhanoğlu scored the first goal in the 12th minute.L.  Martínez scored the 2nd goal at 14 minutes. Çalhanoğlu scored the 3rd goal at 60 minutes. L.  Martínez scored the 4th goal in the 84th minute.M.  Thuram scored the 5th goal in 88 minutes. H. Çalhanoğlu and L. Martínez played very well in today's match.
Inter Milan once again delivered another scintillating performance against Monza yesterday to extend their lead at the top of the table. The Italian league leaders were only two points ahead of second placed Juventus before the match but extended to six points after the win against Monza yesterday.

Lautaro Martinez scored two goals in the game to take his number of goal contributions this season to 24 in 25 games. What a player he's been to his club this season
