FOOTBALL: World Cup - My Predictions (YB)

Well, as a mega footy fan, I'm totally looking forward to the World Cup this year!

I'll be cheering on my favourite two teams - England and Brazil. Though I'll be watching almost every game! I just love the whole tournament!

I think Brazil will win this year, they have a great line-up and a team that are clearly capable of winning if they play well together. I saw a friendly and they weren't that impressive, but it was a friendly and I expect them to give more for the World Cup.

As for England, I watched a friendly of there's too. While they played quite well, I honestly don't see them as winning material. I do like that Gareth Southgate didn't just go for the big names for the team though, it looks like he thought better off that. Watching the last World Cup in 2014, that's what I thought the problem was - big headed players not really putting their hearts into playing for their country, they didn't even seem to want to be there! I'd like to see England do well, but seeing how they played, I'm not sure they have what it takes to be winning material. Though just like Brazil, maybe they'll up their game in the actual World Cup Matches.

I think the final four will be Brazil, Germany, France & Argentina. With the final likely being Brazil vs France, in my opinion.

As for today's match, I think Russia will beat Saudi Arabia. They're not necessarily the better of the two teams, but it's their first game in their country, the first game of the tournament, so they will want to get that win. I predict Russia 2-1 Saudi Arabia. I've not seen either team play previously, so I really can't comment much more, we'll have to see how it goes.

Who do you think will win the first match of the WC? Who do you think will win the WC overall?

FOOTBALL: Champions League Final 2018 (YB)

Well, that didn't go as I'd hoped!

I expected a better show from Liverpool. I cannot believe the stupid mistake Karius made giving away that silly goal to Benzema!

And the foul on Salah by Ramos was clearly deliberate. But, just because Salah was injured, we still should have payed better.

You can't help but wonder if the foul from Ramos on Karius was deliberate too! Maybe it affected his decision making?

Liverpool were by the far the better team to start with, we were really taking the game to Real Madrid, but as soon as Salah went off injured, thins went downhill from there.

Mane's goal straight after the silly Benzema goal, was a great comeback to level, but we were sheer outclassed overall.

And in light off everything, even though I'm a Liverpool supporter, you've got to admit that overhead goal from Gareth Bale was nothing if not genius!

The game wasn't really the thrilling, spectacular game I had been expecting though, and I really hope the CL cup was coming home to Liverpool.

Still, we're in it again next year, so let's hope we do better!

FOOTBALL: Liverpool's 2nd Leg CL Tips (YB)

I bet with PaddyPower and I had a go at asking for prices with #WhatOddsPaddy - got big prices, but I only do small bets, so hoping I get a win 😜

I wouldn't complain at winning £60+ from a 25p bet!

What are your tips for the match?

Good luck Liverpool! Hope you do us proud and make it to the final.

FOOTBALL: Showing Our Support For LFC (YB)

Sharing a photo of Marley with my fellow LFC supporters...

I reckon one day he could play for Liverpool! You should see his skills on the ball! He's had skill since he first kicked a ball when he was 1 year old.

I used to play football as a kid & teen and I can spot skill. He has a great kick, accuracy and ball control. Watch out for him in 15 years or so lol 😜

FOOTBALL: Liverpool vs AS Roma: 1st Leg Semi-Finals CL (YB)

Watched the match last night. Was totally impressed by how Liverpool played until the end. I'd have to admit, I was worried Roma were going to close the gap even further.

However, weve got a good 3-0 lead even if Roma do have 2 away goals.

Hopefully the pressure of being away from home won't get to the players and if we can get a couple of away goals of our own, that'll further bridge the gap for Roma to beat us.



I feel we were so close to being about 8-0, especially with the 2 sitters Sadio Mane missed in the first half.

There were great goals from future LFC legend Mo Salah. And nothing to take away from magnificent goals from Firmino and Mane too.

Hopefully we'll be making it to the Champions League final against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Let's hope Liverpool will be the ones lifting the cup. As the last English team in the CL, I hope all of England is cheering them on, even rival supporters.

Maybe next year we'll be taking the PL by storm even more too!

What's your predictions for final score after the second leg? I'm going with 4-7 agg, but I think we'll be through to the final.
