I don't think gambling is inbuilt rather majority of underage kids who engage in gambling were majorly influenced by the kind of environment they grew up in. There are a lot of children who until they reach the age of 13+ never heard about gambling and that's because of the fact that they grew up in a wealthy environment and so activities around them never exposed them to gambling while their other counterparts from poor neighborhoods are always exposed to gambling at very tender age because it's a normal means of survival for most the adults around them. They grow up thinking that gambling is also a way of survival thereby getting involved in it without being specially taught about gambling.

Neymar is an incredible player and the more he suffers from any form of injury the more the body gets weaker knowing what Neymar is capable of so it is going to be a very close-making situation for him during the game and the number of injuries is quite some number and if he comes back and he still plays very well then  Al-Hlal will not have a choice than to keep him, and Neymar will still do well am very sure of that. I would not say that their investment is meaningless,  Al-Hlal should not forget that signing any player from the beginning is a risk on its own since the same players are human. wish Neymar a quick recovery.
From the past Neymar is a player who is prone to injury even while at PSG had a long injury, expensive players with deficiencies like this will clearly harm the club that signed him, especially Al Hilal now.

Rumor: Neymar's injury can be up to 9 months to rest while what Al Hilal invested so much in him, yes this is an injury when playing with Brazil which does not mean when playing for the Al Hilal club this is of course a big loss for his fans.

I'm not sure when he comes back he'll be back to his normal form, he's old, his fitness is weak and he's bound to get injured again.
When Al Hilal signed Neymar, they were actually gambling, because we know his injury record is so frequent. Indeed, we do not deny that when he returned from injury, his performance did not experience a significant decline. But of course that cannot be used as justification when he has to rest long. If his injury takes 9 months to return, then he has missed a lot of matches, or even the same he has to be sidelined for the whole season.
Injuries are unpredictable, but with his record of being injured so often, it should also be a consideration for the club before signing him.
Neymar is global football superstar and as we've seen the Saudi Arabian clubs go for well known football stars in other to draw more global attention to their league, signing Neymar wasn't a bad idea from Al Hilal despite knowing that the player is very prone to injuries.
It is reported that the player will be sidelined for a very long period of time as a result but one thing we should know that he's very sad because of his current condition and wasn't didn't cause it for himself

I know we are still far away and any can happen, but i see yesterday game of Messi and man, he still play better than the young ones, so i can see him if nothing strange happen, being one of the best in the 2026 world cup. Only he needs to preserve himself from injuries.

Choosing to go and play in the USA and in that team that occupied the last position in the league table in the USA, in my opinion it was the worst choice that Messi made, if his intention was not to retire due to football, then yes it was a serious mistake to have been on that team. This is because without playing against good players, next year he will start to drop in performance, as a result he will not be able to have much shine in the Argentine main team. and looking at the argentina team, they have a lot of good players, but they don't have any replacement for messi, probably on the day that messi stops playing, and the day that ronaldo stops playing, then the world of football will miss them so much

It's unbelievable that the years have passed and no players are appearing with the same brilliance and talent that Messi and Ronaldo have. It seems that perhaps only in the coming decades will we be able to see other players with the same talent, before these players came Maradona and Pele. Of course, there are many other players with talent, but they don't reach the same level of talent and popularity that Messi and Ronaldo managed to achieve. unfortunately they are in the last years of their career. In another 2 to 4 years they will stop playing football, this means that in the next World Cup, I'm talking about the one in 2026 due to their age, it will be the last for both of them, that is if they also manage to have the physique to be in the 2026 World Cup.

@Slow death at his age it made sense because he wanted to play in a league where he could get regular match fitness and keep himself ready for international games but I didn’t think that he would actually be keen to play in the 2026 World Cup. Furthermore the era of Messi and Ronaldo is over in context of European football and now it’s time for Halland and Mbappe because these two will be dominating football for a very long time now.

Regarding Messi and this player in the next World Cup. I know Messi can even get older and he obviously can't have a good performance when he is going to play for Argentina in the 2026 World Cup. Also, I think Messi is even thinking about getting retired even before that year before Deco, from Barcelona said they were ready to plan a special tribute for this player when he gets retired.


https://en.as.com/soccer/barcelona-already-planning-a-special-tribute-for-messi-n/
Lionel Messi though is still performing well whenever he's on the pitch but one can clearly see the the Argentine superstar isn't performing like he was doing in his prime and that's to show that age is somehow showing effects on the veteran forward footballer.
Messi will be 39 years of age by 2026 and I don't think he'll want to play in the World Cup at 39 knowing fully well that he's not gonna be active in the tournament. I don't see a 2026 FIFA World Cup with Lionel Messi as one of the participants.

I guess this is as close as Ukraine was hoping for to get to qualificiation for the Euro 2024. When they saw that the drawing was holding England and Italy for them, I think they did not expect to have a decisive game at the end of the qualification to actually kick one of those teams out and instead go themselves. I am sure that this game will be a hell of a challenge for Italy as I guess everybody has an idea of the fight that Ukraine will give Italy in that game. For Italy it would be massively disappointing to miss the Euro and I think they will show some nervousness.
England boss, Gareth Southgate have made an outstanding de ions, his strict disciplinary measures ought to be followed. England is at the top and will remain so since there doesn't exist any functionality opposition capable of holding them back. England and Ukraine appear to be viable candidates for a position in Euro Group C competition. England is comfortably in the forefront, with Ukraine in second. Italy was expected to be in that spot, but they blew their chance, and they will pay the price for their poor performance against their opponents.

Southgate has had some hard times as well, that shouldn't be forgotten. But when you now look at the players he has available, I think it wouldn't be wrong to talk about a lucky era.

I think this statistic says it all and it goes back to the World Cup in Qatar and I guess it didn't consider Bellingham at his true value.

England was the most expensive squad at the World Cup with a combined 1.5 billion euros. It is quite striking that they are worth about 12% more than the French squad. Southgate can call himself lucky and now it is time for them to win something in the next few years.
Undoubtedly, the current England squad is one of the most talented squad the nation has ever had in history but that can only be accepted by England fans if they can win major honours for the national team. Gareth Southgate led the Three Lions to the final of European Championship three years ago but were beaten by eventual winners Italy and were beaten by France in the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup last year.
Gareth Southgate must know that it is time to start winning trophies with this supposed "golden generation". They've already qualified for Euro 2024 and hopefully, he's gonna start winning trophies with that particular tournament

Having one Bellingham does not make Real Madrid very satisfied and it is reported that Real Madrid has sent a talent scout to monitor Jude Bellingham's younger brother, Jobe Bellingham, who currently plays for Sunderland in the championship division. Jobe Bellingham is still only 18 years old and is only two years apart from his older brother who is currently playing for Real Madrid. It seems that Jobe Bellingham is quite promising but currently Real Madrid has so many midfielders available.

Hard to get around with this as I haven't seen performance like his brother Jude from him before getting into Madrid. Jude had to go through a lot to get into Madrid. He had some great performances with Dortmund before he fell into Madrid's radar but with Jobe I don't think he has put something remarkable in display to be considered by Madrid yet. Will believe this if multiple strong sources confirms this but as of now it's only transfermarkt rumours.
Football qualities I don't believe is transferred biologically and that's why not all children and siblings of the best footballers in the history of the game ends up as great footballers as well. Jobe Bellingham I've read is good footballer but the fact that he's not been able to perform excellently well like his brother Jude Bellingham was doing when he was 18 years of age means he's not likely to be at his elder brothers football standard in future time. Though he might as well end up as a better player in the future but if Real Madrid sent some scouts to watch him because of his brother's brilliance, they might be making a mistake.

I don't think Harry Maguire would have been called up to the England national team if he was overrated. That's why it might be a bit harsh to say it's exaggerated. He definitely has talent and it wouldn't be right to claim otherwise. However, he is very error-prone and this causes big problems in the teams he plays for.
It's really a big joke if someone think Maguire is playing because of his big name, he should become a brand ambassador if he's a bad player. People always forget 1000 good deeds for one fault, so that's why vast majority think Maguire is a bad player.

Maguire is a good player, he good in build up since he has a good long ball pass accuracy and clearance.
Harry Maguire performance could be said to be not very reliable in defense, he made several defensive errors, but at different times he was able to do crucial things for Manchester United. He is very good in terms of ball control, although his performance is not very impressive, but in terms of holding the ball Maguire is very good. Even though his performance is mediocre, his presence still really helps Manchester United in terms of defense and attack.
Maybe it was for this reason that England coach Gareth Southgate entrusted Harry Maguire with a position when England beat Italy with a final score of 3-1 for England to win.
Harry Maguire had a great night at one point, making it difficult for opposition strikers to sneak past his eyes but has proved a poor defender over the last two seasons. In all the matches he has played in the last two seasons, he has not been able to defend well, he has not created good chances, he has not been able to give good tackles, meaning he has failed everywhere. A defender's job is not only to control the ball but also to block opposition strikers as well as to allow midfielders or strikers to score goals. Harry Maguire was the captain of Manchester United but was dropped as captain due to his poor performances and is now an irregular player for Manchester United.
One thing I've found out about Harry Maguire is that whenever he's playing for the England national team, he's always marshaling out his defense skills to the best of his ability but finds it very difficult to replicate same whenever he's playing for Manchester United. This is the reason why I'm of the opinion that his poor defense mechanism whenever he's playing for Manchester United is caused by the manager Erik Ten Hag's kind of man-management.
If Maguire can be that good for England national team, he can also be better for United if only the manager can find the best way to manage the England international.

Lol guys, you equaled gambling to masturbation, as both must be kept in secret Cheesy Gambling is from 18+. Gambler is a grown up man already and can do whatever he wants. It is not necessary to keep it all in secret.
Addicted gamblers have really made most people in society think gambling is a bad activity. That's why some gamblers decide to make their gambling activities private. It's annoying when you are in a community and people start seeing you as a bad person. You won’t really be comfortable, and people will even stop associating themselves with the person because they will think you are also like addicted gamblers that do crazy things just to get money to gamble. They don’t know that responsible gamblers don’t involve themselves in criminal activities, take loan to gamble or sell properties just to get money to gamble.
For a fact, the manner at which addicted gamblers publicly display very poor and disgusting lifestyles has made many people to desist themselves from gambling and that's why a whole lot of people can't just allow their gambling activities to be known by the public so people don't view them the same way they view gambling addicts.
Gambling is not a bad vice if one can control his gambling habits and carefully know how best to gamble but is considered as a very bad engagement if the person is potentially gonna end up as an addict because of his careless ways of gambling

Barcelona has serious matches ahead of it. For example, they will play in Champions League matches and Lewandowski is a very important star player for these matches. It is acceptable to leave him on the bench or not take him into the game to help him recover from his injury. They need him in other important matches. Also, a great player like Joao Felix can close that gap.
Barcelona are ranked 3rd and currently unbeaten this season. They're capable of reaching crucial phases in UCL competition and also anticipating actively in La Liga race for the title. Xavi Hernandez is not frightened by the tough fixtures coming, he's an experienced coach and possess the required mentality to win tough games. Barcelona can face these upcoming games without the presence of Robert Lewandowski. Though his presence is required but he's not present due to injury which he's actually making quick recovery, perhaps they have João Félix who's an outstanding player for the club, followed by João Cancelo and IIkay Gundogan, these new signings have contributed to the team positively this season.

Robert Lewandowski is currently out injured and is likely not to feature for Barcelona at least in two weeks from now and that means that the club are going to play some of the most vital abd difficult fixtures of the season which includes the Spanish El Clasico without the Poland striker.
Xavi Hernandez who's the manager of Barcelona already knows that he's not gonna have his No. 9 striker in those games and as expected is going to device other means of playing those crucial games without Lewandowski. With what he's been able to achieve with Barcelona this season, Xavi Hernandez is likely to come out of those games with good results.

I still wonder what a woman is lurking around for in gambling, they can't take risk, afford to loose money or even get the mind of gamblers, women are very emotional and therefore cannot have that kind of a risk bearing mind to take risk for gambling, she would have expected to see the winning coming instead of losses but things came to her surprised all of a sudden that she discover her money is gone for good.
Yes, that's why before we enter a gambling game, we have to take into account all the risks. And we must have a minimum amount of money to play. If I look at cases of women who really want to get an instant financial boost in gambling, and these women hope to win, there are many cases like this in every country and as far as I know, in these gambling games it is regulated. to experience defeat.


Gambling is majorly engaged by men for some reasons that the female gender aren't good and one of the is risk taking. Though gambling isn't gender based which means that any gender is absolutely free to gamble, it's still advised that women who can't stand the pressure that comes with taking those risks shouldn't engage themselves in gambling.
The kind of surprising shock that comes with losing your hard earned money in gambling can't just be managed by 80% of women population if you ask me so I'm other to save them from the shock, it's better to tell any lady that wants to gamble the disadvantages of gambling before she embarks on it

For Arsenal to face Real Madrid they first need to play well in the group, where they are in second place so far. By the way, they don't have easy opponents and it's not clear whether Arsenal can take first or second place. Because Sevilla and PSV can play well this season. Arsenal have a difficult group, unlike Real Madrid.
Keep insulting Arsenal indirectly because I'm sure they're not even up to Barcelona standards at the present time, considering that the Gunners are struggling to win games. It's hilarious to draw comparisons between Real Madrid and Arsenal. We understand the distinction; Los Blancos is greater than Arsenal in terms of everything, including players and trophies triumphed, and they are considered as the best leading team in the world. Arsenal qualified for the UCL this season, they still got some strength to compete with elite teams down here.

But, if I consider their results in the local league, then surely Arsenal are still a better team compared to Lens, PSV and Sevilla . But even so, I personally wouldn't compare Arsenal to Real Madrid because obviously, they have much different qualities . So yes, if for example you predict Arsenal will meet or play against Real Madrid in the knockout stages then I think the result maybe predictable about a victory for Real Madrid. But apart from that, I personally don't think that far, because of course at this moment it would be more appropriate for Arsenal to stay focused on qualifying for the round of 16, and not care who the opponent will face later.
Arsenal has been very impressive since the start of the season and are still one of the two English Premier League clubs that are yet to suffer defeat in the league since the campaign kicked off. Real Madrid in their own is not just at the top of the Spanish La Liga standings but has also been able to win the two games they've played so far in the UEFA Champions League competition.
That being said, I think Arsenal can if they play at their best are capable of winning against Real Madrid even when it's absolutely clear to every football fan that the Spanish giants are better in terms of quality players and performance.
2371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 19, 2023, 03:03:10 PM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
There are different reasons behind that, and it all depends on each individual.
The first thing I know is, have the desire to make money. It's all about the willingness of every gambler to take a risk in exchange for having a chance to multiply their bankroll. Even with consecutive losses in gambling, having the desire to experience and the longing for winning will make you continue to gamble.

Their addiction. Being addicted to gambling will make a person disregard losses. The only important thing is for him to gamble/play and satisfy himself by gambling.

For fun. People find it as entertainment, not a single worry about the losses. They just play while enjoying themselves.
When you see a gambler who's always losing but still decide not to give up his gambling activities, it can simply mean that such person is either gambling for fun or he's already addicted to gambling and can't help himself by stopping the act of gambling.
There are people who are very wealthy but are still gambling regularly and these set of people will always gamble no matter the results they get from gambling because they're not gambling in other to make money from gambling rather they're doing it for fun and enjoys gambling. While some others who are addicted to gambling after several losses will still continue to gamble more in other to get win back all their losses which in most cases doesn't work that way.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.
At least you yourself was lucky enough to give your self that advice that what you are doing is really not right and gambling is not what you should put all your hope and trust on as a source of income because you will end up losing that little that you think you have that could have been sustaining you while you look for better job elsewhere and add up to support your home.

You friends never had that chance that you have and maybe never also never had who will advice them to make the right decision which will put them in the right track, and now they have giving up on life and have failed to embrace opportunities that could have actually helped them in life to obtain that thing that they truly think gambling can give it to them.

Why you can just do for them is to use your self as a testimony and advice them to leave gambling and look for something better to do, most of them might have skills which they can put into good use and start making money for them self and limit the way they visit the gambling shop.
Gambling addiction is absolutely different from getting engaged in gambling and still be able to take total control of how one's gambling activities. Gambling addiction will surely make anyone who's suffering from it regret why he ever engaged himself in gambling.
Getting addicted in gambling will definitely ruin the affected person's life and that's why it's advised that anyone who can't control his emotions when they're losing as well as when they're winning should never get involved in gambling.

Messi's performance has never been bad, from the beginning of his career till now he has been doing great but some years his national team performance has been bad but he has been doing great at the club level. A player doesn't retire only when he performs poorly, there are many other reasons behind his retirement. Messi has achieved the highest in his football career, there is nothing left to achieve now so he will probably stay with his highest achievement. 2022 world cup is going on we thought after this world cup we might lose some important players including messi neymar ronaldo karim benzema but they are still performing and ronaldo and neymar have a chance to play 2026 world cup but we don't see that chance for messi yet though compared to ronaldo and neymar Messi is in good form. Messi fans will definitely want Messi to participate in one more World Cup tournament and become the world champion once again.
Undoubtedly, Lionel Messi is one the greatest footballers to have ever graced the beautiful round leather game of football and still very active and effective when he's playing but I doubt if he'll be part of Argentina squad in the 2026 world cup that'll be hosted in three north American countries.
I initially thought he was gonna retire from international football after the 2022 World Cup tournament but which he decided not to but I think the football superstar is gonna quit international football before the 20126 World Cup finals

Some people especially in Asia still live with their parents and when their parents find out about their habits and the parents hate such kinds of actions, the consequences are not pleasing that's why most of them I think have been hiding this kind of habit until they have no other choice but to tell them about it. Just like my Brother's friend who got himself in trouble when the gambling den got raided by the police and caught him when he was in jail, he explained everything to his parent and confessed how and who people influenced him on gambling and it was his cousins.
In most Africa homes, gambling is regarded as one the vices that a responsible child shouldn't get engaged in and that's why most African youths who engage in gambling doesn't allow their gambling activities get to the notice of their parents as they'll never find it acceptable no matter how hard you try to make them accept gambling.
So the best thing to do when an African youth doesn't want to attract the wrath of their parents is to stay away from gambling.

 The glaziers don't have any plans for Manchester united, they're gradually turning into a mediocre team, instead of the glaziers to sell to a bidder that would invest in the club and take them back to glory days, they prefer to sell to someone that would own 25% shares in the club and then they retain owner, control the comercial aspect of the club and continue milking them like they've been doing over the years. .

I’m also thinking along the same lines. The Glazers don’t seem to have concrete future plans for Man United other than to continue to make some money off it.
I’m not sure why open bids for the sale of the club are presented and welcomed if they still want to maintain their hold on the club.

It sure would be great to have massive new investments that could help enable the club to have a feel of the glory they once enjoyed. It seems the current owners can only do so much and perhaps a new owner is what is needed for the club.

In my opinion, as long as the current owners of Manchester United remain, then the team won't win anything, it won't get far in any relevant competition, in recent years they have been a disaster in terms of signings, when they brought in Ronaldo, they were just missing one more or two players in attack who would play alongside ronaldo, but it seems to me that the current manager of manchester united had problems with ronaldo, so ronaldo left the team, today ronaldo scores goals and machester united in 8 games only scored 9 goals and they are in position number 10 and I highly doubt that they will be able to win any relevant title this season. They keep excluding Maguire, but when you look at the performance of the England national team where Maguire plays from the beginning to the end, you realize that the problem is not with Maguire

They let a good goalkeeper go so they could spend money on a new goalkeeper when it wasn't necessary. Honestly, it's difficult to understand what this team wants, they change something that's good and ruin everything. I won't be surprised that this season they won't find a place to go to the European League, with this poor performance and looking at other teams like Aston Villa and Newcastle, Manchester United has little chance of going to the European League. I hope they can make good hires, but I highly doubt they will. That's because their biggest problem lies with the club's owners. It's a shame that a club as good as this is going down the drain.
The Glazers aren't ready to give up their ownership of Manchester United and that's because of the amount of profits they'll stop making if they sell of their share of the club's ownership. Majority of the club's fans has in over the years protested for the owners to sell the club to other investors who are capable enough to bring positive change to the club but it's visible to everyone that the Glazers are adamant to let go of the club's ownership. One of the Qatari investors that wanted to buy the club recently pulled out from the deal because of the Glazers refusal to sell more than 25% of the club's share . It's obvious that the Glazers don't have any good plan for Manchester United.

He is a good goalkeeper, he deserves a bigger club. Onana has no issues, he has just the worst setof defender's right before him.
Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and i don't consider Onana to even be a world class goalkeeper, thus i don't understand what you mean by he deserves a bigger club. Manchester United might not have a solid defense but there is no way you can use that to make an excuse for Onana, all the mistakes that he has made this season were all his fault personally, and it had nothing to do with his defenders, if Onana doesn't step up, the club would sign another keeper to replace him soon.
It's one thing to say that Manchester United is one of biggest clubs in the world but totally a different when you say you don't consider Andre Onana as a world class goalkeeper. Before the Cameroon international joined Manchester United, he was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe while he was still at Inter Milan and it was because of his excellent goalkeeping at Inter Milan that attracted Manchester United to sign him in the summer. The truth is that Onana has made so many goalkeeping errors that's led to United losses this season but that doesn't stop him from being a world class goalkeeper

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

If Lewandowski doesn't become good enough to be in the starting eleven then I assume we would see Felix playing in his position. I hope Xavi doesn't prefer Torres in the centre-forward position in that big game because it is meaningless. Felix is a natural striker while Torres is a natural winger.

Lewandowski will be happy to face Real Madrid this season because if he does not return before the el clasico, it will be very sad for him and the fans because the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be very tough for both teams and everyone will try their best to win the match but I think if Barcelona players are back before the games against Real Madrid, they will be more confident to defeat Madrid because they are in camp nou and some Real Madrid players have not yet returned from the injury, But I believe Ancelotti will try his hardest to win the match so that they can maintain their lead in the league table. However, the match cannot be predicted this season because each team is performing well in both the league and the Champions League. Xavi will try his hardest to win the match because they will have a greater advantage than Real Madrid, Felix is performing well and is very talented he will show the fans what he can do in the match against Real Madrid.

El Clasico matches are always difficult to predict, but every team playing at home probably has an advantage that can be exploited. Barcelona is playing at home, so they should be able to use their home advantage to win El Clasico. But there is no guarantee about who will win it, that's because the competition between the two teams is fierce.

Several of Barcelona's main players have not been convinced to appear in El Clasico, including Lewandowski, De Jong, Raphinha and Pedri. Real Madrid has superior squad depth if the 4 Barcelona players are declared absent, but Barcelona is a team that is also difficult to predict because their mentality is getting better.

Exactly, the El Classico cannot be predicted because any team can win because both of them are very good. Last season, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona at Camp Nou and Barcelona ravaged at Santiago with 4_0. I believe this season will be different because both of them are in good shape, except for the players you mentioned who will not recover in time for the match. I believe Madrid will defeat them, but I am confident that the players will recover in time because Xavi will not make any mistakes to lose match against Real madrid, If Madrid wins at Camp Nou, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to defeat them at home since they are in very excellent form this season They want to win the La Liga trophy this season, and it will be very easy for them if they defeat Barcelona in both the first and second legs of the league.
The first El Clasico of the season in the Spanish La Liga I think is something a whole lot of Spanish football fans are looking up to as the build up to that intriguing encounter heightens. Barcelona who might not be able to play some of their star players in that game as a result of the injury that's sidelined them might not be able to match Real Madrid's strength.
Real Madrid has been in an impressive run since the star of the season and will definitely want to continue to win more games until winning the title this season is secured. So they'll definitely want to play in their full strength to make sure that they defeat Barcelona in that encounter.

Current standings Group C of UEFA EURO Qualifier, seems Italy on not comfortable position after defeating by England last night make their chance for qualifying to EURO 2024 most difficult. Left three points from Ukraine on second standings position but Italy have more one match left  still not close chance to lead EURO 2024 if can winning all two matches left. England have been success qualify to EURO 2024 after dramatic winning from Italy and become their revenge after losing on EURO 2020 final stage.

Ukraine has last opportunity to qualify EURO 2024 if last match against Italy can get win, its become final match for both teams if want qualify to EURO 2024 in  Germany.



Italy does not have to win two games, they only need to equal the number of points with Ukraine to be ahead - according to the regulations, if the teams have an equal number of points, then the team with the best result in head-to-head matches has priority. Therefore, their task looks quite achievable, but Ukraine has only one option - they need to defeat Italy away.
The battle for who joins England to qualify from the Group C of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers further became more interesting and competitive after Italy were convincingly beaten at the Wembley stadium yesterday by their England counterparts.
Italy of course still have a very great chance of qualifying from the group but that can only happen when if they can beat Ukraine when the two countries meet for their qualifying game on 20th November. Any result apart from win in that game for Italy is likely to sink their hopes of qualifying through the group and will now have to wait for playoffs.

Neymar getting injured was exactly what everyone expected anyway, not like that was a shocker to anyone. I mean dude is made of glass at this point and he gets injured more times than anyone I know. He was destined to be one of the best players after the whole Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry, that was what everyone thought at least, but Ronaldo and Messi is playing better at their age right now than this guy because he keeps getting injured.

That was a bad transfer and shouldn2t have spent that much money on getting him, PSG was smart to let him go, at least they have some salary space created by him, and made some money, and they used that to get some decent players. To be fair PSG got dembele who gets almost as much injured as Neymar does but we will see.
Neymar is one the most skillful players in modern day football as well as one of the best in the game but was has limited the Brazilian potentials over the years is the constant injuries he's suffered. The injury have also kept him out of the most important games of his Brazilian career.
After he was signed in the summer by Al Hilal, the most concerning factor for the Saudi Arabian club was his injury crises and unfortunately for him yesterday, he suffered a suffered an injury that's likely to keep him out for months. It's still never been confirmed of how many days he's gonna be out injured but hopefully it's not gonna be more than three months.

Both clubs are looking for a win, and if they can't get the 3 points, they will at least try to force a draw. The advantage is in favor of AC Milan, because they will play at home, it is an advantage that they indirectly get. But JUventus will not just give up, they will definitely try to play as well as possible to win this tight match. In terms of opportunities, AC MIlan also has a greater chance than Juventus, but the difference is not significant. Can't wait for the big match this week.
Milan's winning trend will continue, that's what I think when they play Juventus at home. This match will certainly be tight for both teams, but I believe Milan can take advantage of home advantage to appear dominant compared to Juventus. Without a doubt I would say Milan have a better chance of winning than their opponents, but Juventus should absolutely not be underestimated.

The results of Torino's match against Inter will make Milan motivated to win the match against Juventus. Inter are also favorites against Torino, so Inter will lead the standings if they win the match. So like it or not, Milan has to try hard to reclaim the main position from Inter, but of course it's not an easy job.

Juventus losing some key players in the squad should not lead to the loss of the game when they will match up against Milan. With injured players out Juventus will have no other option but to work with what they have.
As Roma should also win at home on Sunday they are better than the club they want to go against.
Inter Milan has taken the lead early can they do that for the rest of the season,  rushing  will lead nowhere.
Considering the performance of Juventus in the three years, one would find it very difficult to believe that it was the same club that won the Italian Serie A title in nine consecutive seasons which is the longest streak in the Italian Serie A history. Winners of the Italian title from 2011/19 to 2019/20 season have been struggling to put out impressive performances like they were doing before and this weekend they'll play against league leaders AC Milan at the San Siro stadium.
So many have already predicted that it'll be an easy win for AC Milan as most first choice Juventus players are out injured.
