This has been One of the reasons why no don't really draw conclusions as to how well a team will perform in the champions league judging by their domestic league performance because in their various domestic leagues they have a n environment that isn't exacting much pressure on them as much as they get in the UCL.

Some teams may be very good in their domestic league yet perform much poorly in the champions league and this doesn't mean they are a weak team but they are just not used to such pressure in some cases and so they may not be able to cope amidst such pressure meanwhile some other who are much experienced in the champions league may be doing much better in the champions league than they do in their domestic league because they understand that with the champions league there are stages and you could crash out at any point so you have to make sure to keep up with the pressure els you are knocked out but in their domestic league they only have to avoid been relegated.

There are chances it will actually work but the problem I'm having now is that there's yet to be a very standard measure of regulation to this new rule and they may have to test run it and see if it something they can work with and if not they would drop the rule just like they did with goal line technology and after awhile it wasn't in use again.

Even with VAR there were a few challenges but then I think they later improved in it as the time went by and so they would do very likely with the blue card rule, they will only have to improve it but one thing I'm almost sure about is they they are most definitely going to make sure they add that rule to their rules because it actually entails discipline which will as well help regulate the players to better performance than they do perform now. Most likely after this rule they may not effect another in a very long time again.

I understand that DFK pokal is a very important and crucial competition for both Leverkusen and other German team that participate in the game so I wouldn't want to underestimate the competition either but I would rather want to look at other aspects of Leverkusen as it regards all the competition in which they are participating this season.

Leverkusen has got great potential at the bundesliga and the Europa too so it not like DFK polka is all that they have got an advantage with, they were lucky bthey got the last minute victory which have still kept them in the DFK polka and has aswell increased their potential t win the competition too so I'm quite optimistic that Leverkusen will not only have the Pokal but may aswell have another trophy but then it's really going to be a whole lot of pressure on them trying to maintain good balance across all the three or four competitions they are playing this season.

Betis I'm the table stands at a very much better position and is even way better position not to panic but be confidence but Cadiz in their last two games ended it with a draw and if we remember they also had Change of coach recently who is still trying to see how well he can get the team together and improve their performance and probably take them out of temporary relegation.

Looking at the performance of both teams so far betis is at advantage and for me is the favourite but Cadiz has got something at stake for them so that determination alone could spur them to bringing out the uncertainties that can come up with football and then we see surprises, invariably I'm say betis shouldn't tred the path of underestimating Cadiz and this game may possibly end in a draw and thy will se their selves sharing points with a team they rather presumed weak.

The inter Milan and Roma fixture isn't a Europa game and I don't think it's really going to be a good one to make comparison with because inter is much better than the team they will be facing in the Europa although feyenoord is doing so well I'm their domestic league but the competition in the Europa is no way compared to that in the eredivisie.

Inter Milan may likely expose the flaws and weakness of AS Roma by the end of this meet if inter Milan is able to perform optimally as expected of them and make sure to get all the three points they are supposed to get from the game, then Rossi should utilize this as an opportunity to build a good tactical approach he will be using when he will encounter big teams next, probably in the Europa that's if they get pass the play off, inter on the other hans will be ahead of Juventus by a very good point difference if they are able to win Roma as expected.

I'm sure everyone will say this because they still believe in the return of De Bruyne and Haaland is able to give a very strong performance and return as before.
The strength of Haaland and De Bruyne's cooperation is very solid and it is very difficult against Manchester City when these two players have returned to appearing together on the field. Almost all clubs in the Premier League are always afraid when playing against this club because it is very difficult to stop these two players who have a great enthusiasm to help club to dominate the premier league.

It will literally take extra efforts by the teams to be able to resist these duel, a very strong defense is the only fortress for opponents facing Manchester city but they will not be too sure because De bruyne is very creative and haland is very opportunistic as he utilizes majority of the opportunities that comes his way without jeopardizing them.

Although teams can attempt to put up a good fight against the Manchester city team regardless of how formidable they are after all there's no team in football that's above loosing a match at some point, even with the best defense system and good goal keeper a team still have the probability of loosing a game at some point but the strength of the team possibly reduce the probability of them loosing to the nearest minimum just like as it is currently with Manchester city.

Madrid at this point is doing so well that the absence of a pure striker isn't felt at all so even if they eventually don't get one before the transfer windows are closed I'm sure it will still not affect how well they will perform but then it will become a problem when they meet teams like Manchester city who has got every of their side of their team fixed.

Manchester city is having a complete squad and a very good form such that I don't want to really place them as second or first but I know they are one of the favourite and will want to defend the title as the champions from last season but then I don't think Madrid will let such happen as they are also trying to make sure to utilize every opportunity to winning the trophy and they are both having equal Chance at the moment so ranking them now may turn out to possible disappointment later.

This innovation in football is really going to be an interesting as many people would want to see how nit will play out, I remember when VAR was first introduced it wasn't welcomed 100% because people feared for it' accuracy but then for every innovation with its own advantage, comes it's own disadvantage aswell.

Asking a player to step aside a while as a disciplinary measure should be welcomed because a few players understand how much five minutes would mean to a game so by the time they consider how much they five minutes off the pitch could mean to them especially in a game like this were they need to proceed to a final or a final game, rhy will be mindful a d ad some  more discipline in their style of play so as to avoid getting the blue card even if its effect is very temporary but it can mean a lot in some games.

It's sad that some children are not convinced not to venture into certain things by mare telling them how irresponsible it is to venture into such a thing or how it could affect them personally so with such people,  they would want to have an experience first then probably learn from it before they will listen to any form of advice that may follow.

I don't think some kids will even let you know if they are already involved in such a habit, it's just best to advice them and for those who are involved already, seek professional help for them so they will be assisted to drop such habit early enough before it becomes something more terrible on them. If they are assisted professionally to drop the habit, they may no longer have that challenge academically.

Not necessarily all the time, a few times I do just for a particular purpose which could cut across a few things such as trying a strategy or trying to get at a particular target gambling and at this point it's no longer just gambling for fun but for a reason so I'm other to be sure I'm making progress or gradually getting to what I aim at, I monitor my bet at that point.

It actually not a really healthy practice because it may lead you to chasing losses at times especially when you suffer more losses than you do win, if you are not gambling for fun then you should be careful enough not to loose so much because you will definitely get to the point you may just feel you have lost so much and the only way to recovery is to start chasing after them and that could even lead to more losses  which will further breed addiction and all other harmful habits.

No less than victory was actually expected of PSG die to the kind of squad PSG did have as compared to that which breast have, these two teams are very much unequal in strength and it's viewed that PSG is the superior in terms of the squad strength and their capacity to win but then football happened and the has to share points.

Brest did deserve some commendation as they were able to steal a point from PSG by the end of the game, I know PSG had a red card and somehow would want to blame the draw on the red card but then looking at the teams, PSG had a team and from they should have been affected by a red card that didn't come in rather too early but at the tail end of the game so the draw cannot be ascribed to the card. I don't want to say I'm disappointed but PSG would have done better because they were much better than Brest.

Klop is still with Liverpool till the end of this season and it's still very possible they maintain their position at the top as they are just a few points away from Manchester city but their next fixture is against a weak team and I think Liverpool should be able to win them and add three points to keep them ahead on the table.

Klop has got a chance not only with the premier league but with the Europa league, so either of it will be a good gift for klop as he's exiting the team, by the end of the season., I don't think Liverpool will be going for Xabi because he's already got a team he's managing and is yet to declare if he's wanting to leave the team any soon and open for a new deal from any other team. Mourinho is currently a free coach but I don't know if he will be willing to come back to England, they search for a befitting coach for Liverpool will take a few time tho.

Interacting while gambling ahs been a very interesting part of gambling that you sometimes need so that you can exchange idea and improve your gambling skills well enough to make more profit and aswell have some more fun gambling too , sometimes the interactions we get to have at the physical casino is really entertaining.

But then I think recently some online casinos have begin to introduce chat boxes where gamblers could interact while gambling and I've come across a few so it's possible to have almost similar experience to that which you had at the physical casino online, there's this online casino I once visited and we were playing crash game and I saw the chat box and I saw how fellow gamblers were discussing about the crash games and how it did affected them especially some who has exhausted their funds in their wallet already.

Somehow I think you both allowed yourself to be denied of the fun in the game because of your bet probably you both staked more than you can comfortably afford to lose and that was why it was able to draw your focus to be more on your stakes and not on having fun because if you both had gamble for fun there would be no need for the whole worries.

Staking what you can afford to loose at a time on a bet is what allow you have fun amidst the bet regardless of whatever is it the results bis turning out to be, a similar experience once had was a live game at the casino and I actually wasn't interested in the game but the results and winning so I definitely didn't have any fun watching the game, such situations make you have too many biases about the game and so the only way I tried to get my self out of such situations was to make sure to always stake that which I can comfortably afford to loose and allow myself enjoy the game.

Roma may not be much of problem to inter Milan as they may want to appear because they have performed quite good in their most recent game isn't a guarantee they will do any better against inter Milan, most definitely at this point nits okay if AS Roma has got some level of confidence boost from their most recent victories but it may not be enough to go against inter.

For inter Milan it's another opportunity like you did mentioned to further keep the space away from Juventus much wider and so they will not fail to take advantage of this opportunity because after now they will be distracted by the champions league and just Incase the loose points they will still have enough to keep them in a safe spot before Juventus will be able to try to displace them. This was one great opportunity for Juventus to lift the serie A this season because they have got no other league to take their attention but I think they messed it up when they lost to inter Milan and now they may find it difficult to get back to the top and get an opportunity to lift the trophy this season.

Pep is currently not going to let any form of slack in his team because he knows there's no much time like before and the season is gradually winding up so they are to utilize every opportunity they get at this point as it may not avail it sef again after now so it's either they utilize opportunities now or it will not come again.

Even with the desperation that may be seen around Everton, I doubt they will be able to get three points from the present Manchester city squad that's complete and pep is going all in because he's getting prepared for the UCL aswell so it's an opportunity to get all the players especially those who has been away in awhile due to injury, all warmed up and getting back in form again on the field of play, with the present peps team, Everton may only try their best but it may not be enough and it's very fine if it's not enough because they are playing with a team that's a bit above their capacity.

Sevila this season ahs been no where close to their performance with which they were known for before now, they used to have at least an average performance in previous seasons but then this season they have been in one of their worse shape that we can think of and I don't find it okey, it's something they should really bother about.

Although Sevilla is very much far away from relegation but I'm doubting if they will even make it to the Europa because it looking obvious that the champions league will elude them this season. Atletico is no match with Sevilla and I'm optimistic about atletico's victory in this game but then I'm thinking it's very possible Sevilla could be resistive and may give Atletico some tough moment but then Atletico still stands a better chance and will most definitely win if they perform brilliantly as expected of them.

There's one thing I've observed around Leverkusen and that's the relentless determination around that team ever since Xabi took over, they may slack a while but till the final whistle I will advise you don't give your verdict yet because they may just surprise you at the point where you think the game is over.

Xabi has given these guy a different kind of mentality that's so fearless and aswell has affected their confidence so well, I was expecting to see their first loss at the end of that game because at some point Stuttgart did out played them and it was looking like it's going to be their first defeat but they managed to still show that resilience that they didn't let loose of their defense such that it could be come penetrable rather it felt like they tricked Stuttgart into thinking they were not going to perform much well as when Stuttgart taught they were already in charge, then Leverkusen capitalized on it to get their victory, to me it looks like Leverkusen is dynamic with their tactics.

Lillie can't be a threat to to PSG this season not in the present form PSG is and the form Lille is as at this time, both team have got an unequal strength and depth so I don't see it possible that they will be able to repeat that which they did in the other season, some how they were just lucky that season they won the league.

This season they are far behind PSG and the only close competition with PSG has to be Nice but even Nice is still far away from PSG too so it's very much possible they will not be able to have that opportunity this season again to win the Ligue 1 title, it's most obvious that PSG is in a better position to win this season as Lille hasn't been brilliant enough to repeat that which they did seasons back. They can work towards the UCL qualifications as that is very much possible and visible with them than winning the Ligue 1 title this season.

I share in the same opinion as you, Roma since the arrival of Rossi has not been faced by a tough rival who will cause them to work hard or probably struggle to score a goal moreso winning a game and so it's been looking like they are promising with Rossi because so far they have not suffered any loss since he arrived the team.

Its now looking like AS Roma is better improved and it came with the arrival of Rossi but then after their meeting with inter Milan we can to a great extent determine if they have really improved u DER the management of Rossi or they were just meet mediocre teams sice his arrival, another test will be at the Europa league play off we are going to use that to measure their strength and their abilities to a very great extent considering their performance even if they necessarily didn't win against Inter because I term isn't a small team at all but then they should be able to put up an impressive performance
