Girona returning back to the top position standings after leading by Real Madrid few moment with crucial winning against Almeria, its good compete for La Liga tittle race because Girona keep pressure Real Madrid on the top position and have consistency performance until playing 21 games. Last match, Girona success defeated Sevilla over 5-1 and Artem Dovbyk success made hattrick for helping Girona winning bigger score over Sevilla.
Real Madrid have one match left and get potential return to the top position, seems La Liga tittle race have difference dominance teams for this season with usually have Barcelona and Atletico Madrid but Girona is most compete teams pressure Real madrid winning la liga tittle this season.
since the beginning of the season at the time when Girona managed to overtake Madrid, actually I was quite doubtful that Girona journey to the top of the standings could go as far as it is now, So far, we have known Girona as just an mediocre team which is often a source of goals from other teams, so it is quite surprising for us to see Girona is appearing spartan like now, there are still around 17 remaining La Liga matches left and most of Girona remaining matches are only against relatively small teams (if we look at Girona current performance), I think the next 3 matches that Girona should optimize are facing Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona which are likely to thewart Girona mission to champions the La Liga this season, seeing Girona performance yesterday when facing Sevilla, I am starting to be quite convinced that Girona could be the only strong candidate to winners the title apart from Madrid.
Just like you, many other people including me were doubtful that Girona's impressive performance and fight to remain at the top of the Spanish La Liga table is gonna last this long but surprisingly to everyone of us, they're actually not fighting for the top four again but has their eyes fixed on the prize which is to lift the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season. Before this season, Girona were one of those average teams in the Spanish La Liga whose target was to finish the season with 40 points and avoid relegation but that's actually not what we've been experiencing this season. To some people, Girona aren't gonna fight to the last week of the season but I think they're actually gonna remain competitive for the Spanish league title till the end of the season

Real Madrid who are closely behind them in the Spanish La Liga table has been the most consistent team in the country this season as no other club in the league have recorded the number of wins that they currently have this season  in a competitions. Real Madrid are currently second with just one point behind Girona but of they manage to win their outstanding game, they'll move above Girona with two points. Interesting and entertaining I think the Spanish La Liga have been this season

Regards gamblers, they may face several winnings on medium term, but once they hit the long term, these earnings will become dust and then they will face bankruptcy.

Only if these people will allow themselves to end up like that. There are lots of cases already where big earnings become dust in the long run due to irresponsible handling of money. But if we look at these cases, this money was gone not because purely of gambling but doing other unnecessary spending or irresponsible buying of things that weren't managed properly or just bought without any good reason.

Successful gamblers are addicted to gambling but some of them already build a good wealth because of their behavior of being responsible gamblers at all times and knowing how to handle their money properly as well as using it only for necessary purposes.
It's one thing to be successful in gambling and absolutely a different thing to be addicted to gambling because so activities and  the attitude of so many successful gamblers out there and the fact that most of them are always acting like they're now addicted to gambling, it has now become a norm for people to see successful gamblers are addicts but thank goodness we have a platform like this where we can always correct such wrong impressions among people.

For a gambler to be seen as being successful in gambling, it simply means that he has significantly had more winnings than losses in gambling and you don't need to be an addict to experience of this. I've been privileged to see a gambler who from the very day he started gambling, he's had significantly more winnings than losses as he's always lucky with in his gambling activities but that doesn't make him a gambling addict. A gambler can only be deemed an addict the moment he loses control of his gambling activities and that's why it's absolutely wrong for someone to think that every successful gambler is a gambling addict

Honestly I was a bit worry about how Liverpool would cope in the league in the absence of their playmaker Salah who was on AFCON duty in Ivory coast even without.  Trent Alexander-Arnold, however I was amazed with Liverpool convincing win against Bournemouth in his absence the likes of Nunez, Diogo Jota, Gakpo all performanced brilliantly well without those key players with the win I strongly believe Liverpool would give Man City a run for their money as far the title contenders is concerned, though Arsenal had been very inconsistent so far in the league, however I believe the team would make things difficult for both Liverpool and Man City title bids.
Their Liverpool squad can still play very well even though they play without M. Salah because Klopp is used to these conditions. Because this is not the only time Salah has been absent, but he has also sometimes been absent due to minor injuries. And Klopp is used to it and can still make good strategies without having to include M. Salah. And yes, this proves the quality of Klopp as a very qualified and very competent coach.

In the match against Bournemouth, we could see that Liverpool's quality did not appear to have decreased at all. And in fact they can be more productive in that match.
The fact that Mohammed Salah has been the Liverpool's best player of over the last five years is the reason why I think it's normal for pepperoni think that his absence is actually gonna affect the performance of the team. The Egypt captain is currently on international duties with his country at the ongoing CAF African Cup Of Nations. However, we must not forget that Liverpool is one club that's made up of so many attacking talents that are very capable of destroying any team's defense even in the absence of Mohammed Salah and yesterday, their two forward players delivered incredible performance to make sure Liverpool extends their lead at the top of the league to five points. Though second placed Manchester City still have a game at hand as they've played one game less than Liverpool, I'm still very optimistic that Jurgen Klopp's men are capable of winning the English Premier League title at the end of the season.

Jurgen Klopp is a great coach who understands his team players and knows how to rotate his team when necessary and I believe that Liverpool are still gonna deliver impressive performances even in the absence of Mohammed Salah. The English Premier League title race keeps getting interesting and entertaining as we draw nearer to the end of the season

Girona once again rose to the lead with more than a game to spare. Real Madrid was about to experience a big shock in the last match because they fell behind 2-0 against Almeria. Despite this, they managed to win 3-2 with the goal scored in extra time. These 3 points were vital for them. They are currently still continuing their race with Girona.
It was a deserving win for girona , their performance all through the game was brilliant although at some point Sevilla tried to get some balance but then Girona was still the better side, they had a better possession of the ball and even made more attempts than Sevilla did.

Girona was able to convert their attempts to several goals which personally I didn't expect that the victory will come with such goal margin. It's very obvious if given a chance Girona may end up with the la Liga title this season, they are now one points ahead of their very immediately counterpart Real Madrid and in the past week this has been the trend whereby they both alternate position in-between the top and second on the table, if Real Madrid continues like this and not able to give Girona a good distance away they can be sure to lose the la Liga title to Girona by the end of the season.

To be honest, I would love to see Girona become champions. But this doesn't seem like something that could happen to me. The points they lost in recent weeks were a big disadvantage for them.
They played very well against Sevilla and showed once again how much they wanted the championship. But we have a lot of time before the end of the league, Real Madrid is in a very good form and they continue on their way without losing any points in the last weeks.
I wonder how many more weeks a team like Girona can continue with this performance
Girona have surprisingly been very impressive in the Spanish La Liga since the start of the league and yesterday, they trashed Sevilla in their Spanish La Liga game in their own home ground. Sevilla's defeat have further increased their problems and poor results since the start of the season as so many people are now finding it very difficult to believe that it was the same Sevilla that win the UEFA Europa League competition eight months ago. Girona's incredible performances and results has made a lot of people across the world to be backing them to win the Spanish La Liga title this season but as a Real Madrid fan, I wouldn't want to see such thing happen.

Yesterday, Real Madrid came from two goals down to defeat bottom of the league club Almeria after the away team wanted to shock them. When Real Madrid were still trailing by two goals to nil, I was very confident that they were still gonna win the game because they've got all the needed quality players to actually defeat Almeria which they finally did. The Spanish La Liga title race I think is now majorly between Girona and Real Madrid but I'm hoping that Carlo Ancelotti's men wins the league at the end of the season.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 22, 2024, 01:14:53 PM
I believe that some bettors may have wished to monitor the total amount of bets made in a game in order to assess if it was worth it for them to participate. Yes, it makes sense that individuals would think that way since certain gamblers may be more likely to participate in the action if there is a lot of betting activity and large stakes being risked, believing that there is a chance for a large reward. On the other hand, I believe that some gamblers may become less interested in playing if there is minimal betting activity or little money wagered, believing that the game does not offer enough potential rewards.

What you said here is actually very true. Many bettors have allowed the result of other people's bets to determine how they engage themselves in their own bets and that I think is an attribute of someone who doesn't have a mind of his own when it comes to gambling. I can't go about monitoring other people's games just to know when and not when to gamble because sometimes they are wrong with their own predictions and some other time they're also good in their predictions.


 
However, I would much prefer to decide for myself and go cautiously. But there was also a part of me that wanted to do what others did, that is, imitate their betting strategies, but doing so makes me feel reliant on them to the point that I need someone else to decide how much to bet.
Deciding for myself on how and when to play my own bet have been ahd will always be my own way of betting because trying to pay attention to other people's bets and the amount the use in betting and allow them to determine how I play my own bet have never been my style of betting. I Just go ahead and predict my games by myself and also stake on them. If I lose I blame myself and try again and if I win, I celebrate myself and abd also learn from it and become more strategic
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: January 22, 2024, 01:04:21 PM
A lot of individuals are stressing on to know if the child is old enough to gamble, i don't know if they want to give him benefits of considerations pertaining his action of stealing from his mom to gamble.
When I see people who are more interested to know about the childs age before they can determine the level of his wrong, it makes me understand how decayed the modern day society have actually gone and it's a very big issue that's giving me concerns. How did we start to use a childs age to know if he should be punished for stealing in the first place or not. For the child to be able to steal his parent's money to gamble, he must have been involving himself in other activities that are related to stealing and if he's not adequately punished for his actions, he'll continue to steal and probably go wild with his stealing habit.


Gambling, he has proven that he can't take control of his emotions and if he continues gambling, he would have all sorts of irresponsible reputations and regrettable moments in his gambling life so it would be better of him to face the disciplinary measures that it deserves.
A child who steals his parent's money to gamble has  proven that he's already addicted to gambling and can do anything possible to make sure he gambles stealing included. That's actually a very big problem for his parents if you ask me and if he's not stopped at his very tender age, it'll cause a disaster for the child and to also everyone around him. This is one of the major reasons why it's very advisable for adults not to engage in any gambling activities in front of kids in other not to expose them to gambling in their very early age
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 22, 2024, 12:51:47 PM
2-0 after a few minutes Vlhavic scored his second goal.

He is also no second in the scorers' leaderboard.

This way we dont move away from our enemy Inter and remain stuck at -2
This is important, it makes Inter understand that they cant make mistakes otherwise we are very ready to take advantage of it and overtake!
ahah we are here
Now Juventus is at the top of the standings and has succeeded in overtaking Inter Milan, but Inter Milan still has 1 match and if they can secure victory then they will be able to regain their previous position which is now occupied by Juventus.
Juventus' victory was already predicted, because the club they faced was not a very strong club. However, it seems that this week several leagues have seen their favorite clubs not being able to score goals in the first half and that also happened to Juventus. In the second half they appeared more agressive because they knew that if they played like the first half it would benefit Lecce because their strategy in the first half could be matched by Lecce, at least Lecce could defend well. They didn't miss it in the second 45 minutes and managed to score 3 goals and managed to take home full points.
Juventus have been very impressive this season and are doing everything possible to make sure they overtake Inter Milan at the top of the league and yesterday against Leece, they delivered an incredible performance to win with a 3:0 scoreline. With the result, they overtook Inter Milan and climbed to the submit of the league table pending Inter Milan's result in their game today against reigning Italian champions Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona  stadium in the city of Naples. It promises to be a difficult game for Inter Milan who will be very desperate to grab all three points from that particular game and return to the top of the Italian Serie A standings.

~Snip~
It is clear that in terms of strength, AS Roma are really the favorites to win this match because their quality is far below AS Roma, but a change of coach can usually affect a team because they have to adapt to the new coach's style. The next three matches will be much more difficult where De Rossi will face Salernitana, Cagliari and Inter Milan and I want to see how De Rossi can face Simone Inzaghi's tactics because currently they still look very strong in Serie A.

For the time being De Rossi was appointed as coach because after the dismissal of Jose Mourinho AS Roma had not discussed which coach they would recruit. Maybe the management has a different view although we heard Jose Mourinho faced problems with the club's top brass after criticizing them.
Daniele De Rossi debut as Roma coach went as expected, Roma managed to beat Verona in the 21st Serie A giornata at the Stadio Olimpico. This victory was the beginning of De Rossi's new story as Roma coach, challenges after challenges began to await De Rossi in the next match. The next two games in Serie A are not too tough for Roma, De Rossi will face a tough challenge when his team faces Inter, who has been in excellent form this season. De Rossi's eligibility as Roma coach depends on the results achieved in the remainder of this season, Roma is still fighting in the Europa League and trying to finish in the European zone.


Daniele De Rossi is a young manager who was recently appointed as the manager of AS Roma and at such, you'll expect him to be to always want to prove a point and that's what I think he did when his side defeated Verona over the weekend in their first game under the young Italian manager.
We've seen other former European big players who also had a very good start as managers of the club they once played for and De Rossi is keen on being included in that list. He's on the right track if you ask me as I think that under him, AS Roma are going to improve significantly.

A lot of people on the internet are joking about Harry Kane being cursed and with his arrival, Bayern started to get bad results. I don't think it is a curse but there might be some truth in that. Kane was never able to be a winner, both in his clubs and national team. Although everyone like him. The main thing is because of Tuchel. Kimmich wanted to leave because of him, there is a big problem with this guy, no big team can be successful with Tuchel. The same thing is happening to Bayern as he disgraced Chelsea. If Tuchel doesn't leave Bayern, Kane can score 40 goals if he wants, but nothing will happen. Despite all this, the fact that Kane is the only one in the team to score goals shows how high level he is.
I think because many people see Harry Kane performance as a top striker who scores lots of goals every season with tottenham, it is very appropriate for them to think that Harry kane experienced a curse while with Tottenham. Yes, apart from that, I predict that this season Harry Kane will be able to end the series of curses by winning a trophy with Bayern munich for his first trophy. This season he managed to maintain his best quality by scoring lots of goals so that he will still be able to maintain his individual record this season.

For Bayern Munich, they have quite an impressive squad this season where they are able to make their attack line even more productive by silencing their opponents with big scores. On the other hand, I estimate that Bayern main target this season is to reach the Champions League final and also maintain their performance to continue winning the bundesliga trophy this season. If this season harry kane manages to win the first trophy in his career he will automatically be quite happy because it took him a long time to lift the first trophy in his career.
After Bayern Munich surprisingly lost a home league game against Werder Bremen yesterday, many people came up with the opinion that Harry Kane might just be the reason why Bayern Munich isn't at the top of the league at this time of the season and have probably brought his "hard luck" of not a winning any trophy to the home of the German champions. But for a striker who's already scored 22 goals this season and additional 4 in the champions league, it's very safe to say that Harry Kane isn't Bayern Munich's problem at the moment. The German champions need to improve their performance and start winning games.

The defeat at home to Werder Bremen yesterday wasn't a very shocking one as very few people across the world would've predicted such result especially now that Bayern Munich are trying to overtake Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the league table. Disappointing result from Bayern Munich but certainly not Harry Kane's fault if you ask me

New weekend, new opportunities. I am a bit interesting in Sheffield Utd - West Ham to play a straight 2 (West Ham as winners) to 2.3 odd but a bit scared for the draw. I don't think Sheffield will win, but I also think West Ham isn't as good as the table show's even tho they been amazing lately in PL against the top teams, but so often after a good run like that a plumb often comes and Kudus is away but I don't think it will be a huge impact.
Anyone with some ideas here? I would love to play a straight 2 to 2.3 odd.. but the draw is making me afraid.  Grin

We can only wait till line up to be published. I meant if i was also having the same feel like you when westham was playing at FA cup. The primary issue at hand is whether the squad will be able to perform with the main players or if it will still be lacking a significant number of key players.
The odds makes me feel dilemma about which thing that must be choosen for this game. Im feeling westham has greater chance to win while at the same time there is also potential for the club to use the same squad like when it was losing at the FA cup.
It will be a disaster if westham will be still repeating the same mistake and this makes me feel doubt about it. I would rather than pick double chance even though the odds was quite small but that's good enough to avoid the risk.

Westham win - draw shall become the best choice for this match.

The Sheffield United English Premier League match against West Ham United has just ended and surprisingly it ended in a 2:2 draw.

It was a very entertaining match as the away side was first to take the lead in the first half of the game but Sheffield United made sure it ended in a draw before the end of the first half as Ben Brereton's 44th minute effort ensured that the home team got a goal in the first half. After James Ward-Prowse converted West Ham's penalty in the 79th of the game, it looked like West Ham were gonna leave with all three points but it was in the the additional time of the game that we saw the most entrailing moments of the match. The two teams received one red card apiece before Rhian Brewster converted from the spot in the 113th minute of the game to equalize and make sure his team got a point from the game.

Fenerbahçe lost 2 points today against Samsunspor. The league is a long marathon. Of course it is normal to lose points in this marathon, but it was very sad for me as a fan to lose points in a game where we did not give any goal positions to the opponent and failed to make use of very clear goal positions.

In matches between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor, there are usually interesting goals and interesting results. I expect a similar result in tonight's match. Trabzonspor can get a surprise win tonight.

I like the way Galatasaray is keeping them on their toes, it's making the title chase to be very interesting. I could also say it's a two horse race as Besiktas is out of the picture. Fernebache was tipped to win today's game, they were the better side, dominated the game right from the beginning to the final whistle but were unlucky not to seal 3 points. Kahveci put them ahead in the first half but a goal from Kilinc restored parity, also Samsunspor's goalkeeper did well to make sure the match ended in a draw.
The battle for who wins the Turkish Super Lig title have been very interesting since the start of the season. Initially it was Galatasaray who was at the top of the league table before they lost some points which gave current league leaders Fenerbahce the chance to got top of the league. Yesterday, Fenerbahce dropped two points in their league game against Samsunspor and that have now given Galatasaray a chance to draw level on points with Fenerbahce today.

Trabzonspor is the third placed team in the league standings and that tells how good they've been this season. Playing against them in their own home ground will definitely be a very difficult game for Galatasaray this evening but I'm still expecting the Turkish champions to claim all three points from that game
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 21, 2024, 04:00:42 PM
The same thing keeps repeating itself in Ligue 1, yes at the beginning of the season there are clubs that stand out that provide competition to Paris Saint Germain, but when entering the middle of the season and towards the end of the competition, the clubs that played well at the beginning experience a decline which in turn allows Paris Saint Germain to comfortably be at the top of the table without pressure.
I think this will continue to happen as long as the clubs in Ligue 1 can't raise their level to that of Paris Saint Germain. Paris Saint Germain with all their advantages can comfortably become champions.
This is what makes the league look monotonous because only that can compete at the top of the table. I am more happy when I see the competition at the bottom because at the bottom they can have quite an interesting competition.

Every season we see a repetition of the same thing. Several teams performed well at the start of the season. And they fight hard with PSG for the top spot in the table. But gradually the performance of each team started to become erratic, on the other hand the performance of PSG became stronger. At the end of the season we see PSG team as champions of Ligue 1.

PSG is a very rich club. And they spend a lot of money on player purchases and player wages. Other teams in Ligue 1 are not interested in spending so much money. So they cannot strengthen their squad much. Can't add any star players to the squad. So naturally every season we see the dominance of PSG.
Yes, money is one of the factors why the same thing happens in Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germain is very dominant there, this cannot be separated from the financial capabilities they have, while other clubs do not have the capabilities as big as Paris Saint Germain has. We'll see when they brought in 3 strikers labeled as stars at that time, only they were able to do that, not to mention the privileges given to one of the players who is currently a problem.
If only other clubs had the same abilities as Paris Saint Germain, I am very sure they would be able to keep up with Paris Saint Germain in the competition. In my opinion, that's what they have to fix first, how their income can increase to be able to make changes to the squad. Because it cannot be denied that differences in financial capabilities ultimately create distance between clubs.
No matter how long we try to talk about Paris Saint Germaine's dominance in the French league, the truth is that they'll continue to be at the top of the league and dominate the league as long as they want until other clubs in the league decides to step up their games and starts investing in their respective clubs like Paris Saint Germaine's management are currently doing.

You don't expect a club who spend so huge like Paris Saint Germaine on almost all the transfer windows to struggle to win the league with clubs that mostly rely on breeding young talents into becoming world class players. The financial strength of Paris Saint Germaine is undoubtedly stronger than any club in the French league and I'm very optimistic that they'll continue to dominate the league until another big investor takes over the ownership of another French club

Why exactly Bayern Munich is yet to get a goal is what I'm not really comfortable with or maybe I should think that they are having a bad day and less luck? Because looking at their performance so far, they have been able to dominate the game well enough and have more of the possession and goal attempts but yet to convert it to a goal.


They are already in the second half and I'm expecting a better performance from Bayern Munich and by that I mean I want to see goals, Bayern I'd playing from home and for them home advantage is usually a big deal so I'm anticipating them utilizing their advantage, werder Bremen is performing in a considerable average performance but they are not to be match with Bayern so I expect more actions by the end of the second half but then if the game end s in a draw it keeps Leverkusen more safe at the top spot on the standing which Bayern is definitely wanting to displace them soonest.
Bayern Munich without doubt is one the best team in the German Bundesliga in terms of quality of players but performance wise, they've not actually been in their best as Bayer Leverkusen have been the best performing team in the German league this season.

The Bayern Munich game against Werder Bremen have been intense as the away team is resisting Bayern Munich's attack. After Bayer Leverkusen won their game yesterday, Bayern Munich are currently under pressure to win their game today and close their points difference behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Hopefully for them, they'll finally find a breakthrough in the game against Werder Bremen

What a surprise from Real Madrid vs Almeria match, Ramazani has score a goal into Madrid net in minute 1.
Madrid at home always win (7 games) against Almeria, is it wise to bet in the first half with the odds -1.5 and over 2 on Madrid?
What an early goal for Almera as Ramazani scored within the first 38th seconds after the referee started the match. This is not a great start for Real Madrid. Almeria easily find the space to take advantage and net the post with a cool finish. Lucas Robertone was the one that made the assist, he is quite a good player.

This goal will only make Real Madrid become angry and to try their best so that they can win this match. Almera was the club that drew with Girona last season depriving them from having all three point. Is that what will likely happen to Real Madrid, but I still believe that Real Madrid will win this match. Almera is playing 5-3-2 and this makes their defence strong.

RMA 0-1 ALM





The Real Madrid home game against bottom club in the Spanish La Liga table Almeria has kicked off in over 18 minutes ago and it's the away team who's surprisingly taken the lead in that particular game. Ramazani scored inside the opening first minute of the game and up till this moment, they're still leading the game with a lone goal.

However, I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid are still gonna win in the game. Real Madrid as we all know are the most consistent team in Spain this season and they know how important every game counts in their bid to win the league title at the end of the season. Though they lost in their last game before this particular of but I believe they're gonna come back and claim all three points from the game

What's a similar case that you're in that made you regret that you learned gambling?

Your contribution is appreciated.
I'v not been Ina situations that called for so much regrets coming from my gambling habit because I try to make sure I don't allow it get to the point nof addiction such that I will not be disciplined enough to not touch funds kept for a project and hope to double it by using it to gamble so basically I just restrict my gambling to my monthly budget.

There have been a time I was in a little mess resulting from gambling but it was such that I have to put up so much regrets ever knowing how to gamble because a few times I've also benefited so well from my gambling profits except for a few losses which is common amongst gamblers, there was a time I had a spare cash and of course that's what I use to gamble, I don't use my funds for something else to gamble, so I placed a bet with the spare cash and it wasn't long a need came up and I taught of it that I would have met that need immediately only if I had not used my spare cash to gamble.
Just like many gamblers, I've actually had moments in gambling that I totally regret about getting the knowledge in gambling and I'm going to share my little experience now.

Some years back, there was a time I was very broke and don't even know where my next meal is coming from but fortunately for me in one of the evenings, I was called by someone who was indebted to me. He said I should come take my money which I went and took all of the money he was owing me. On my way home I decided to enter inside a gambling hall and and gamble in other to double the money and to my greatest shock I lost all the money that I could feed from for over three months in a space of 30 mins. Till date, it's been my worst moment in gambling and that particular day I wished I never knew about gambling

What's the point of him playing for City until he's 40, if he can go to Saudi Arabia and earn as much before he's 35 as he would earn playing for City until he's 40? Maybe he doesn't have enough titles? And does he really need an 8th Premier League title (or how many does he already have)?
In City he has already won everything he could, so now he can play purely for the sake of money.
Besides, it’s good that you compared him with Modric - in the end, Real was able to ensure that Modric received the highest individual award - the Ballon d'Or, but City will never do anything for KDB.
Kelvin De Bruyne without doubt is one of the best midfield players of his generation and because of his impact in the Manchester City team, they'll definitely want to keep him at the club as long as they can in other to make they're getting the impressive contributions he's been giving the team since he joined but considering the age and performance of the player, I don't think he can play for the club till he's 40 years.

Last last weekend in the clubs English Premier League fixture at Newcastle United, Kelvin De Bruyne returned to action after being sidelined for five months through injury. Before he was substituted in to the match, Manchester City were trailing by two goals to one but immediately he came in , he produced a man of the match performance by scoring the equalizer before providing a world class assist for the winner. After the game, he was asked about his fitness and how long he can play which he answered by saying that he's currently not fit to play 90 minutes. KDB is a top footballer but age u think isn't in his side again and that's why he's likely to leave Manchester City in less than two seasons from now

Quite hard to make a correct decision to gamble or not to gamble in front of the kids, as it is really hard to predict in who the kid will grow up. Our life changes to fast. Each 15-20 years generation have new things of interest, hobbies, trends and etc. Of course it is not advices to gamble in front of kids on purpose, to force them watch, maybe learn. But doing something special to hide the fact of gamble isnt necessary either. If we bother much hiding act of gambling, it will trigger rise of the interest from the kid. If we dont do it frequently, the kid will take is as Ğanother parents daily routineğ and wont pay much attention to it.
To an extent mate, I disagree with your opinion about triggering the interest of kids in gambling if we continue to hide our gambling  activities from them and that's because there's no way kids will be triggered to be interested in an activity they know nothing of. The only thing that can trigger kids to be interested in gambling is when we show them little about gambling but refuse to explain to them how it works fully and that's when they'll start building their interest just to know exactly how it works. Gambling in front of kids can not be justified in anyway and that's because of the fact that it have more grave consequences than the advantages.

In other to maintain the sanity of kids, it's very important that as adults we don't engage in any gambling activity in front of the kids in other not to ruin their future.

Will Liverpool be able to continue to widen the gap at the top of the standings through this match against Sheffield? and as we can see now the match is already underway and the position is still the same 0-0. Maybe for Liverpool this is an easy match, especially since the opponent is a weak team in the relegation zone and even though this is an away match for them it is certainly not a difficult problem to be able to steal 3 points.

On the other hand, Sehffield still have to fight to get out of the red zone and if they still don't score points in this match then they will definitely be worse off. I think if they want to get points against a strong team like Liverpool, the only strategy they can do is defend, but if that doesn't work well and actually catches them off guard then Liverpool won't hesitate to beat them with a crushing score. I think Liverpool will win with a difference of 2 goals because 1 goal will not be safe enough for the Reds.
I hope you know what you're typing in your post because you're actually mixing up things in your write up mate. Liverpool aren't the ones that are currently playing rather it's Sheffield United who are playing hosts to West Ham for their match week 22 fixture in the English Premier League.

Liverpool will play later this evening against Bournemouth at Anfield and to answer your question, I'm very optimistic that Jurgen Klopp's men are going to win the game emphatically. Bournemouth have been impressive in recent weeks and their striker Dominic Solanke have been on a good form and was even awarded the English Premier League player of the month for December. But against Liverpool who are trying to further extend their lead at the top of the league table, I don't expect Bournemouth to get a result in the game.

It depends on how the gambler handles the different possible situations most likely in gambling of course, the person who will be affected first is the player because they have experience with the possible impact of in different games, excessive gambling and mistakes during their playtime, next is the people surround to them because once they get a negative effect like having a mood swings, anxiety with their games, and stress if their family would like to approach them, possible the negative energy passes to them might cause trouble and misunderstanding. If you are a gambler who can't handle those things I guess that's the time you would stop and take a break if you are still in a good condition or not because other people might affect with your actions.
You have got an opinion that's similar to mine. Whenever we take decisions that ended up hurting us, the first person who's gonna be affected by the consequences of our actions must be us in particular before any other person around us can feel the negative impact and gambling addiction is not exempted from that.

When a gambler decides to not to take the precautions that'll keep him in check and not make him become an addict and eventually becomes a gambling addict, he'll definitely be affected most by the negative impacts that comes with gambling addiction.

If the gambler is the breadwinner of his family, they'll also feel the direct impact but that doesn't mean that they're not gonna survive without him no matter how important he is in providing for the needs of the family. In as much as we advice gamblers to be responsible in their gambling activities in other not to lose focus and become addicts, it worthy to note that the person who's very likely to be affected by the effects of gambling addiction is the concerned person

Agree. Salah has a big role, Liverpool will decrease their attacking power significantly if Salah is leaving Liverpool. We must remember Liverpool performance is decreasing a lot when Mane left the club. I can't imagine if Salah leaves Liverpool, too. I doubt if Klopp can get a proper player to replace Salah's position. Klopp even failed to get a proper replacement of Mane.

It is true that Salah has a huge role in Liverpool; yet Salah is an old winger and would  replaced soon by Liverpool anyways

The best opportunity would be to let go while making good amounts of money fit to get a quality replacement in the mold of Mohammed Salah.
Talking about Salah's replacement I don't think there's any person Liverpool has found at the moment as a better replacement for Salah so till the end of the season he's still going to be in Liverpool except at the expiration of his contract neither him or Liverpool is willing for him to leave he's still going to stay, I still believe he's still got some time at Liverpool.

He age is yet to be a factor that will cause Liverpool to drop him because his performance is still at its peak he isn't showing any signs of age affecting him yet neither has his form drop and he has been a very vital and key player in Liverpool all along even up until he left to defend his country, he was still very vital in all Liverpool games where he featured ,he's still one very good player Liverpool has got and will not be willing to let go so soon except the need for such arises.
Currently, I have never seen a report confirming that Liverpool have actually seen a potential replacement Mohammed Salah when he eventually leaves the club during the summer but considering the numerous young talented footballers that plays in Mohammed Salah's position, I think there's a possibility of finding some who'll perfectly replace the Egyptian when he finally leaves.

Jurgen Klopp is known as one of the most experienced managers of his generation and he's capable of moulding young talents into becoming great footballers just as we've seen in the past. Salah I think will definitely leave in the summer and when he leaves, I'm optimistic that Liverpool will as well get a player who'll perfectly replace him at the club

Mohammed Salah without doubt is a very important member of the Liverpool squad as his contributions to the club's success over the years cannot be undermined but if he decides to leave the club at the end of the season, there's every possiblity that Liverpool are gonna find a good replacement for him. Since Sadio Mane left the club, Liverpool have not been as effective as they were when he was in the squad but I don't think that'll be applicable to Salah if he eventually leaves.

Salah is reported  to have received many offers from different Saudi clubs but is still weighing up his options before making his  final decision.
