Bayern Munich were able to get the draw and turn the table on Real Madrid with a one goal difference but Vinicius Junior and the others were successful to create and score chances while his last goal in the very end of the game was killing.
The positive point for Real Madrid is that they didn't lose while playing in Allianz Arena. The situation will be more complicated for Bayern Munich since the away game will be in Madrid and we all know how Real Madrid becomes in their home and under pressure..)
Real Madrid are often like this in Champions League, they can not dominate the match but they can maximize their results. Bayern Munich played better, just like Manchester City played better in their second leg quarter final against Real Madrid, but results are only draws. Real Madrid are too experienced, calm enough to wait for chances to punish Bayern Munich.

One key pass from Toni Kroos and Vinicius scored an equalizer for Real Madrid, it's very quick counter attacking moment from Real Madrid. With that goal and this draw, Real Madrid will have advantage from their home stadium in a next match.

Bayern's semifinal match against Real Madrid in the UCL was really tense and both teams really played with enthusiasm and in the end Bayern and Real Madrid had to settle for a 2-2 draw and I really like the performance of Vinicius who is really great at playing the ball and also In terms of utilizing opportunities, it's pretty good and Vinicius is really a hero at the moment for Real Madrid because he scored 2 goals.
Vinicius missed many matches for Real Madrid in early of season but since 2024, he appeared more and performed impressively for Real Madrid. With Vinicius, Real Madrid have a dangerous speedy attacking player like Mbappe and even more dangerous than Mbappe. Because Vinicius has better dribbling skill and is ready to contribute for team working.

Salah has been playing in Liverpool for years and during this time he never had any problems with his coach or other players.
Nothing is perfect or lasts forever so the relationship between Klopp and Salah.

Quote
Even though Klopp is very famous and well-known in Liverpool, all the fans and players want him to stay in Liverpool. But I think it was just an accident and Salah had bad behavior just because he wanted to be in the first squad and show better performance from himself and that's why he was very mad and had this behavior with Klopp.


They both interacted with each other, supported each other and contributed to make a strong Liverpool recent seasons and won many titles together. It's hard to say either Klopp helped Salah to become a better player or Salah helped Klopp to win titles with Liverpool. It's more correct to say, as aforementioned, they both helped each other recent seasons.

Both men got made in that situation and it's bad because they shown it on field and I really hope they can resolve it in later.

Latest results and temporary rankings of top clubs in La Liga, shows that Girona almost get a position in top four. They have 71 points so far and have 13 points more than Athletic Club (at the fifth position). The league has only 5 more matches and Girona need to win one more match, to maintain their 13 points more than Athletic Club, to be eligible for Champions League next season.

Let me congratulate Girona in advance for this surprising success in their club history. A first ever season in Champions League for Girona is coming.

With 71 points, they have only 2 points less than Barcelona and a challenge for them is taking over the second position from Barcelona in remaining five matches.

Well, maybe that is the real reason why currently even some Merit Sources are not distributing much of the Merit they have. Because too many posts are general and not very interesting. It doesn't even seem very useful.
Merit sources have their own life and they don't receive anything by distributing merits. They do their merit source task as volunteers and you can not ask merit sources spend their 24 hours per day to read all posts in the forum to find good posts and distribute all sourced merits.

The biggest reason is forum lack of quality posts, does not lack of sourced merits.

Quote
But I sometimes explore old topics that were created when the Merit system didn't exist yet. And I was actually quite surprised because in the past the quality of posts on this forum was not as good as it is now.
I counter back on this. Many old topics that were created before the merit system birthday, are good in quality and received a lot of merit, more than younger topics since 2018.

That's why some would always argue that sports betting is not a skilled based game because they don't put an effort in analyzing the game, or maybe have put an effort but didn't get the expectation they want to see. We have different experience but I really believe that on all the games in a casino, sports betting is the best type of gambling that I am confident with in winning.
Skills are important in anything and being skillful can be necessary for your success but only skillful is not enough. There are random factors which are unpredictable and can appear anytime and can decide your bet result.

Sometimes it will help you win even you make a stupid bet but sometimes it will cause you unlucky loss even you are skillful and make a very good bet.

That explains that betting is risky, unpredictable and sports betting is more risky and more unpredictable. If you love sports, love bets, and have good capital and bet management, you will bet responsibly and one unlucky loss won't take all money from you.

Just like you rightly said, Bayer Leverkusen on paper have is easily the favorite team to win their UEFA Europa League semi final tie against AS Roma because of their superior performance in all competitions this season but because of how impressive the Italian club have been since Daniele De Rossi took over the managerial position at the club, I don think it'll be good idea not to give the the German team a chance of pulling a surprise in the two legged tie. Roma since their current manager took over have been exceptionally impressive which is why they were able to eliminate a big club like AC Milan from the UEFA Europa League competition  so against Bayer Leverkusen, I think the Roma has chance of reaching the final
Leverkusen are stronger than Roma and create more impression in this season than Roma. They also have better preparation for the first semi final match because they don't have to spend their best resources for their match in Bundesliga. Roma oppositely had to use their best players for Serie A match with Napoli and they still need to fight in Serie A for a fourth or fifth position. Roma's current position means they still have risk to lose a fifth position to Atalanta and Lazio so they will need to keep their eyes on two competitions, Europa League and Serie A.

Leverkusen will have big advantage against Roma in both two semi final matches because the schedule of Roma is very terrible. They have two matches with Napoli and Juventus before two semi finals with Leverkusen.

I think that in this case it is necessary to use a stop loss. In this case, you can reduce your losses if the price moves in the opposite direction to your expectations, for example 1-2%. Thus, your loss will not be 500 dollars, but 50-100, depending on the level at which you set the stop loss.
I know you gave an example only but in this volatile market, stop loss with 1 - 2 % will be terrible. I know stop loss, stop limit orders are very helpful to minimize loss and avoid serious loss in a market crash but 1 - 2 % should not be used as a limit to exit the market with either Stop loss or Stop limit order.

It is a mistake to consider trading as a job in the sense that you depend on it to buy essentials and pay bills, because trading brings profits over a long period of time and patience, and the bills may not bear patience for more than a month.
Therefore, even describing trading as free work comes from the fact that it is something you do without restrictions on its timing and lifestyle, but as soon as trading is restricted or governed by a specific price or need, it will be unprofitable and may lead to losses.
Trading or investment can be considered as a source of income but a trader or an investor actually needs to have reserved money for paying bills. Because the market can move opposite to what the trader or the investor thinks. So if all money already spent for trading or investment, there will be calls to pay bills and that trader or investor will be forced to sell their bitcoins or altcoins, to get some money for paying bills.

Being forcefully sold an asset like this, will not lead to good exit price and a trader or investor will have higher risk to lose money than get profit.
109  Economy / Speculation / Re: After the dip in crypto, when are we expecting ath? on: April 28, 2024, 02:24:49 AM
Majority of altcoins will not have "bull runs" so their "ATH" is not predictable. What happens to them is pump and dump which is by definition a market manipulation technique which is what makes it unpredictable. It is also the reason why it is never recommended to "invest" in an altcoin.

In fact this is a very common beginners mistake, they look at Bitcoin and think "cryptocurrencies" are all like bitcoin so they start buying them like they should buy bitcoin hoping for similar performance. The only result that can have is loss.
People invested money into altcoins need to feel happy if their altcoins have yet died because through about 2 years of bear market, many altcoins are dead.

Dead Coins: Over 50% of Cryptocurrencies Have Failed.

Expect altcoins to have "bull runs" and make their NEW "all time highs" are too much and unrealistic with quality of altcoin project and capability of their developers. Lack of visions, lack of development skills and lack of dedication, it is most commonly seen in altcoin projects.

Juventus keeps do another shitty thing by missing a lot of chances. It seems to me that if juventus is losing more opportunities this time. It can be seen from how juventus is once again doing shit after it was owned the game against acmilan.



18 shoots 7 on targets and zero goal. What a pathetic stats from juventus. The attackers deserved to be sold by the club.
They had a disappointed draw when they need three points to secure their third position. This draw is a little bit helpful for Juventus because now they have 3 points more than Bologna and goal differences between Juventus and Bologna are nearly the same.

This means one point from AC Milan can help Juventus don't lose a third position to Bologna with any point difference after this week. Maybe two clubs will have same total points if Bologna win their match but with same total points, it is still not actually bad situation for Juventus.

This draw and many wasted opportunities show that Juventus have many things to do from player transfers to training in the summer for pre-season training to improve their attacking power. It is very important task for them in the summer to return as a more competitive team next season.

Obviously I didn't say you should reply in a row (post in a row), I said you can post provided you didn't break the rules of the forum which means after a forum user have commented you can reply.. E.g Mr A commented and you have something to reply him, you can reply him. Mr B commented and you have something to reply, you can also reply him or you wait and reply them both in one reply. Both posting pattern is accepted and you didn't break any rules when you reply in both ways but if you reply in a row, both replies will be merge by a moderator.
There is no agreement on how to post for replies.

If I am a user makes a reply, above my posts, there are some posts that I want to discuss, I can quote all of them and reply them in my single post.

If I make a reply, after that reply, another user comes with a post, I can quote his post and make my new reply. Here, I have another choice to reply, quote it and edit my previous reply. Both styles don't break forum rules but posters often choose a first style than a second style.

This is a must-win game for Juventus. Because if they do not win this match, there are going to be problems for them. And if Juventus is unable to win this match, the team that is right below them, Bologna, is going to have a genuine chance to get ahead of Juventus.
Juventus plays the match at home and I agree with you that they must win it with pressure from Bologna. Risk of losing a third position to Bologna is very real and it's shame for Juventus if they actually lose it to Bologna.

Bologna is a small club, I know about their history but recent decades, we can call Bologna as a small club. They don't have too strong squad and spend very small budget for player transfers and salary. So Juventus are better in finance, player quality and they must defend their third position against Bologna. The task for this match is clear but it's not easy for Juventus to achieve three points from AC Milan.

AC Milan don't have clear task for remaining matches include this one but with pride of a big club, they will not give an easy match for Juventus to get three points.

according to bitcoinmmagazine, it has auctioned the first ever epic sat for 33.3 BTC, that's about $2.1 million dollars. Crazy right?
Converting 33.3 BTC to a dust, 1 satoshi, is crazy.

It is a great way to waste your precious bitcoin and the buyer must be very big Bitcoin whale with so many bitcoins to spend 33.3.BTC for fun like this. Or there is OTC deal behind the auction scene, that we can not know, to make this crazy auction that makes people feel jealous and greedy.

What do the buyer expect?

Value of it increases to 66.6 BTC or 99.9 BTC?
It's unrealistic and I don't know about future, just think it's unrealistic.

I would like to hold my 33.3 BTC and wait for Bitcoin price to double or tripple, it is more realistic and I will never lose my 33.3 BTC for unrealistic hope.

Xabi has managed Leverkusen for 2 seasons, he managed Leverkusen since 2022. He built Leverkusen gradually, he knows well every player on Leverkusen squad. It is different with AS Roma, De Rossi just managed the squad since the early of this year. It is not easy to optimize the performance of AS Roma just in few months. So, in theory, Leverkusen is more established team and stronger. Xabi Alonso also is more experienced in managing the team. In this matter, the chance of Leverkusen to win should be higher.

- https://www.transfermarkt.com/xabi-alonso/profil/trainer/63052
- https://www.transfermarkt.com/daniele-de-rossi/profil/trainer/90748
Xabi Alonso has many advantage against De Rossi at the head coach position. Because Xabi had many seasons to work with best coaches through his player career and also had some seasons to be an assistant coach for Pep Guardiola. Abundant experience as player and assistant coach is very helpful for Xabi Alonso and it's big different compares to De Rossi.

De Rossi used to be a legendary player too but he has less chances to work with world class coaches like Xabi Alonso and he did not have experience as an assistant coach for Pep Guardiola.

It can help two coaches to make difference for their teams in two semi final matches but players and coaches on field, can make big unpredictable surprise.

Manchester City are always ready to take pressure and Manchester City will do well with pressure. Considering that Manchester City has been eliminated from the Champions League tournament, they will not want to lose the Premier League title in any way. 

Since Manchester City is still in a strong position in the points table of the English Premier League, they still have a good chance of winning the title.
Manchester City have strongest and deepest squad in Premier League and they have most experience with title competition because in last six seasons, they win five titles. It is big difference than Arsenal with no experience to win a title many recent seasons. Liverpool can be considered as having experience because they are another champion of Premier League last six season. However Liverpool don't have deep player resource like Manchester City.

Quote
Arsenal are now performing consistently and Arsenal are ahead of Manchester City but the problem is that Arsenal have played one match more than Manchester City. Maybe when Manchester City plays the same number of matches as Arsenal, maybe Manchester City will hold the number one position in the points table.
Arsenal will have tougher schedule for their four remaining matches and this will be biggest barrier for Arsenal to compete against Manchester City. Chance will come with Arsenal only if Manchester City lose at least one match among their last five matches. It's only one condition from Manchester City but Arsenal need to fulfill another condition, winning all their four remaining matches with two big matches, home away, against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Barcelona then succeeded in convincing Xavi to stay and coach the club. This is truly extraordinary. Yes, this means that Xavi will have to face various demands from management and fans regarding their achievements. And this will definitely again attract a lot of harsh criticism from fanatical fans who always want Barcelona to be 100% perfect. I often get annoyed with fans like that.

Xavi is wise enough, this is what Xavi said regarding his dramatic U-turn in Barcelona:
Quote
"I am full of hope, these three months have made me change, the players believe in it, and wise people are willing to rectify, here I am.

"It's not about ego, or money, I have energy, I see the fans are happy and proud -- it's a cocktail of reasons, above all the confidence of the president and (sporting director) Deco."

Source: President, Fan Support Key In Decision To Stay: Barca Coach Xavi
It's a truly wise U-turn change from Xavi and Barcelona.

I guess these U-turn decisions from Barcelona and Xavi mainly come from Barcelona performances in Champions League. Barcelona see light of hope from Xavi that he can help the club to perform well in Champions League that is very important financial resource for the club in future. They finally decided to choose a safe option, continuing with Xavi rather than starting with a new coach with risk of losing control in a next season.

Bayer Leverkusen are still unbeaten this season. Bayer Leverkussen headcoach, Alonso have prepared his necessary strategy and ready to face one of the top sides in the Europa League this season. AS Roma is not consider an average team because they've also been one of the top challenges for elite clubs in Seria A this season. Daniele De Rossi is equipped with solid maps and good players, the ones that are also ambitious and determined to excel in all round processes.
De Rossi has less coach experience than Xabi Alonso and a defeat last week in Serie A is a warning for him. He is like Xabi Alonso last season, created impression with Leverkusen but lost to Roma and Mourinho. Roma and De Rossi will not play two semi final matches to lose, but to win Leverkusen, they must beat a very strong opponent, it's not easy.

For Bayer Leverkusen keeping their unbeaten record is as important as win the trophy for them and that's why they will comfortably settle for a draw and still not have to bother if they win because that alone will help them get to gain i two ways one of which is in the fact that they will be able to maintain their unbeaten record a s aswell be able to still get to share points and still be in the race to winning the trophy this season.
Leverkusen have some more matches to end this season with a perfect unbeaten record within a single season. They have 4 more matches in Bundesliga, one final match in German cub and 3 more matches in Europa League. Totally Leverkusen need to play up to 8 more matches and don't lose any of them to achieve that perfect record.

When the season comes to the end like this, players will be very tired and have physical and mental pressure so 8 matches sound not too many but Leverkusen actually need to go through these matches not easily.

For 4 remaining matches in Bundesliga, Leverkusen don't need to win any of them, avoid loss is good for their record. 4 matches in Europa League and German cub are most important for Leverkusen to win two more titles.

I'm not an Atalanta fan, but for this Coppa I also want them to win. In the last few seasons, Atalanta has shown its enthusiasm to become a team that can destroy the usual Big Four formation, Inter, Juve, Milan and Napoli. Unfortunately, Atalanta was unlucky, maybe Coppa Italia could be the trophy they can get from their hard work over the last few seasons. Of course, this was a difficult match, Juventus inconsistency made it difficult for Atalanta to ensure the rhythm of the game, Atalanta players had to improvise in order to win the match.
Atalanta in last ten years grow up very well and become one of biggest and most regular challenge to big clubs in Serie A. They successfully to maintain their strength and competitive after many seasons while they also don't collapse in finance.

Atalanta balance very well between play transfer, salary and maintain their finance very healthy and sustainable. They can let their star players go but don't break their player salary ceiling that is very sustainable financial management. They have good scout team that work impressively to find talented players but with cheap price, and contribute to help their club to rotate, replace their star players without big negative impacts on the club performances in Serie A.

Haha, don't ever think that winning is easy when the Champions League is in the semi-finals these teams have overcome various challenges and defeated great teams meaning they are the 4 best teams of all teams. Apart from that, we often see surprises in the last few matches so who knows, we might see another surprise in the upcoming match. What is clear is that we cannot underestimate any team when they are in the semi-finals, they could win through unexpected things for example through a penalty shootout or because of a red card.
At semi finals, no eligible teams should be considered as weak so their semi final matches will contain many unpredictable situations and results. Between two teams in a semi final, there are stronger and weaker teams but difference is not too big. At this level, a weaker team can make surprise to a stronger team and beat a stronger team directly.

Sometimes they don't need to beat a stronger team within 90 minutes but can aim at a draw and bring the match to penalty shoot outs. At penalty spots, mentality and luckiness will decide the winner.
