This was one of the rare games that we watched Napoli having problems on winning. Roma played much better than I expected. Especially after seeing their performance against Napoli in Rome I thought like Napoli would get even a more comfortable win here. Still Napoli got the win of course that's what matters for them. Osimhen and Simeone's goals brought the victory.

Now we see Napoli 13 points ahead of Inter in the standings. They are in a very comfortable position from now on.
They dominated the match and Roma did not create too much challenge against Napoli. Roma did not play too good with attacking in the match and the equalizing goal is one of very few opportunities they had in the match. In contrast, Napoli created so many opportunities but anyway a late goal from Simeone solved everything for them.

Napoli should be awarded Scudetto in this season because I don't see how they will waste 13 points difference too easily.

Napoli's dominance is still unstoppable for now and even with this they are solidifying with their 13 point gap.
Even though this is indeed an interesting match because indeed Roma also presented a performance that actually can still be said to be good, but it is clear that Napoli still cannot be stopped for now
Result is only 2 - 1 for Napoli but during the match, they dominated AS Roma and really deserved that winning. Roma did not have too many dangerous opportunities in this match but Napoli had abundant chances to score more than 2 goals.

This winning from Derby del Sol actually gives Napoli a very good big and safe difference with other clubs, not only Inter Milan.

Quote
On the other hand, after Roma in the next 3 matches they will still face easy opponents and I am still quite sure that Napoli can continue to gain points.
Roma still have chance to join top four because even after this defeat, they are only 3 points less than Inter Milan at the second position. However they must avoid missing points in coming matches if  they don't want to waste good chance in this race.

How can the government make sure that something like FTX (cooperate finance enriching themselves) never happened again?
Governments follow their citizens to submit proposals for regulations and approve some of them, apply them in their nations. They don't go ahead with regulations first so their regulations won't be able to prevent future scam types.

my concern is the CBDC, I think it will work better as the real Stable coin, unlike Luna UST that team claimed was back by dollar but was not backed by anything... Wouldn't CBDC fixed this issue of fake USD backed stable coins?
They are not stable coins, but another version of fiat currencies which are launched and controlled by governments and central banks.

Pump and dump scheme does not exist in Bitcoin market. If it has ever existed, it was long time ago, years ago when Bitcoin had smaller price and very smaller trading volume. Nowadays, you can see rises and falls for Bitcoin but not pumps and dumps.

It is true to use pump and dump scheme for altcoins, not Bitcoin.

DCA and hodl your bitcoins with very long term vision will help you get rid of fear of missing out, panic.

I also believe that we will see Gakpo as one of the main players of the starting eleven. They have signed him with the aim of strengthening their attacking line in the end.
Gakpo is a player who can play at swings and in the middle of Liverpool trio so he is so good as a replacement for Firmino.

Quote
Diaz has made a big impact but Liverpool were still unable to fill Mane's place. After the Gakpo transfer they can fix their problems in productivity in time hopefully.
Diaz is a good player and he adapted so well in Liverpool but his contribution is affected by his injury. Furthermore he is not at a similar level of Mane but Liverpool must rebuild their trio with Diaz and other new players. Mane is no longer in Liverpool, Firmino will leave the club soon and Diaz together with Gakpo, Jota, Nunez, and Salah will be their future.

Quote
He didn't seem very well in his first game maybe but I expect him not to have big problems on adaptation. He should get used to the league and the team soon and start showing his skills.
Diaz brings some challenge to opponent defense with his speed and dribbling but he need to improve accuracy of his shots as well as his connection with other team-mates.

I know about bitcoin since 2021, but my major challenge of learning bitcoin all this while is because of no electricity.  Sometimes in a week the electricity company distribute electric power once or twice in a week doesn't last up to an hour.
Last year I tried my best to save some money so I can buy generator that can give me electricity to learn bitcoin well  and to start up the little I can invest in bitcoin.
You can learn about Bitcoin by many resources on the Internet (websites, forums, Github, Youtube channels) or paper books or e-books. Fortunately with paper books or e-books, you can learn about Bitcoin everywhere.

You can get your bitcoin wallet (Bitcoin Core, Electrum or hardware wallets) and use it to store your bitcoins, bring it around and don't need to have constant Internet connection.

It sounds great as you managed to buy an electricity generator for yourself. Have you ever thought of solar panels?

Honestly, it doesn't matter, what good news comes for Juventus right now. They are obviously going to be very upset that a lot of points have been reduced from them like that. Obviously, the players are supposed to be upset the most. Because they had nothing to do with this. But they are certainly going to be punished for something that they did not do.
At least if you think about their situation positively, it is better than Calciopoli 2006 with which they were relegated to Serie B and saw a lot of star players left their club like Thuram, Canavaro and some others. At least in this season, they are still playing in Serie A and with 15 points less than a club in 2nd position AC Milan and 14 points less than clubs from 3rd to 5th positions, Lazio, Inter Milan and AS Roma, the season has yet ended for Juventus.

In addition, they did not lose star players in winter transfer so onwards they will go with best players they have for rest of season.

Quote
And I think we can see the definite impact of not having the right mindset for Juventus right now. I thought that they are going to be in a good state and consistent performance after the break. But this punishment has been such a setback for them that they are still unable to recover.
It is hard to stay positively, optimistic about what happened recently. However, chance has yet over for Juventus and they can keep fighting strong as same as how they fighted after Calciopoli 2006. Chance for them to be eligible for top four is smaller but it has yet entirely closed. With all of unstable forms of above clubs, Juventus can fight and keep up their hope for great achievement.

The red card impacted the extra time and not the game. ATM was leading with 1 goal for 60 minutes and failed to secure it at the end. This cost them the whole match since in the extra time, they were playing with 10 players vs 11 and both Benzema and Vinicius didn't let ATM try their luck in penalties.
At the end, Real Madrid game was quite hard comparing to Barcelona
Atletico Madrid has been managed by Simeone who has his philosophy totally focuses on defense. Since the departure of Diego Godin, a new era of Atletico Madrid came and their defense system has become weaker in last few seasons.

In this season, they not only have more problems in defense but also in attacking. With a weaker defense and a less effective attacking system, Atletico Madrid have worse performance and become less competitive in La Liga. Real Madrid again shown that they are a very dangerous team and if opponents fail to beat Real Madrid with big difference, they can come back and flip results at the end.

Agreed, after stefan savic was getting red card and this is also changing the game play tempo by atletico madrid. Atletico madrid may able to push the game into the penalty if atletico madrid was not wasting its chance by getting 1 red card against real madrid.
That's very unlucky moment for atletico madrid. Stefan savic should not do that. It's very bad to see the performance from atletico madrid at this moment.
I am not sure why Atletico Madrid have too many problems with their fouls and cards this season. It can be something wrong with referees or something wrong with their coach and players. Maybe their players are no longer disciplined as they used to be which makes them more vulnerable to cards, especially red cards and were sent off early more regularly.

In this case, Lazio will obviously dominate again with the confidence they have and with their good records in the last 2 matches, this is clearly a kicker, especially when they will also be playing at home.
In terms of opponents, Fiorentina is currently still not showing positive signs and this is increasingly giving Lazio the upper hand.
I think this will be easy for Lazio if you look at the gameplay of the two clubs so indeed seeing the current 2.12 odds for Lazio looks more tempting.
In top six of Serie A, Lazio has a second best goal difference just after Napoli. They have so good attacking in this season and in a coming match, they will have an advantage from their home stadium. This match day is important for all clubs in top six and any loss will make big changes in the ranking table.

Fiorentina lost most of their attacking power after selling Vlahovic to Juventus and they have yet found another striker who can replace Vlahovic for them. With their form, they will have so small chance to beat Lazio and a best result is a draw for them.


Napoli shall continue its win streak against as roma. As aroma was is still in a good position. As aroma was able to winning several matches. Napoli shall be careful with aroma. roma is starting to perform even better under Mourinho. I hope that roma will be buying ziyech from Chelsea. Ziyech will give a lot of contributions to the Roma. Napoli odds look very good at this moment. I will take napoli rather than roma. Napoli is having a very good result against some big clubs.
Napoli had only one loss in Serie A this season but they will not want to have another one just after a first match of second half of season. AS Roma will not want to lose because they see a very clear chance to take over a second position which is currently hold by AC Milan. With only 1 point less than AC Milan, a win against Napoli can change Roma rank a lot.

I wouldn't say Chelsea's performance has changed much as a result of the coaching change. Chelsea's performance is still poor. But their performance is stabilizing. Chelsea has problems with match tactics. At the same time, Chelsea's squad is not very strong.
They changed the coach position from Tuchel to Potter a few months ago and it is long enough to expect for good improvement from Potter. So far I don't see good improvement for Chelsea from Potter and lately they have gotten some new players including an expensive player Mudryk as well as a big loan of Joao Felix. I don't think it is fair to blame all bad results on Potter. Other people are responsible for the club performance too from players to his assistants and medical staffs.

Quote
Despite Liverpool having a strong squad, their performances are unstable. On the other hand, Chelsea's squad is weak and the coach's match strategy is weak too. I don't think we will see much improvement in Chelsea's performance unless they add more talented players to the squad. Chelsea's performance this season has been so unstable.
Liverpool have too bad defense system that is not good for title competition. Injuries are other reasons why Liverpool have never had best players for their matches in this season. Usually clubs can not play well if many players in their squad got injuries and have yet recovered from medical care.

With the current state of market trust what will incentivize the average person to use bitcoin over a CBDC?
Bitcoin does not need to compete with CBDCs which are worse than Bitcoin. It does not have to join such competition because CBDCs are centralized, not decentralized currency.

With Bitcoin, you have a full decentralization and freedom which you can not find in any CBDC.

Since banks can control supply they can use inflation and other mechanisms to encourage spending.
CBDCs will have problems with inflation or hyper inflation which is worse than fiat currency in my opinion. With CBDCs, minting new supply is more easily than printing new circulating supply for fiat currency.

The big match for this week is Napoli vs As Roma, Napoli are favored not only because they will be playing at home but also because they have more strength than their opponents this time, Napoli managed to humiliate Juventus with big scores so Roma if they are not ready and have the right strategy could experience the same thing and this will end up being a match that is no longer considered a big match because Napoli is far superior and fortunately Napoli has not shown a decline in performance so far.
Napoli have 50 points after 19 matches and they are one of two best clubs in Europe together with Arsenal. It's hardly to believe that Napoli can earn 100 points in this season that is so impressive. A match with Roma is a first one for a second part of season and they will try best to win it.

AS Roma are in a race with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, Atalanta and they have only 3 points difference from AC Milan to Atalanta. From AC Milan 38 points to Atalanta 35 points and three other clubs with same 37 points (Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma), Roma will have chance to claim a second position if they can win against Napoli.

In terms of game performance, of course Napoli is superior and will be the favorite in this match. But As Roma has a pretty good game at the moment. Roma have been very consistent in the second half of the season.
Roma are improving and they are not an easy team to beat with Mourinho. Their coach rejected chances to be a coach for Portugal and Brazil. He demonstrated his full focus for AS Roma and his contract will expire in 2024, one more season for Roma with Mourinho.

I don't think Napoli will get an easy win against Roma and I wish to see Roma win it. If Napoli fail, it might not change anything for Scudetto race but with Roma, it is so important to race with 4 other clubs.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 26, 2023, 01:39:52 PM
Although Chelsea strengthened their squad with very important names in this transfer period, I honestly think they do not have a chance for the top 4.  Fourth-placed Manchester United are 10 points ahead and they will consider the possibility that every game will be won for Chelsea and Manchester United will lose as well.  This is an unrealistic thought.  It may be possible that we will not see Chelsea in European cups after a long time.
10 points are not too big especially when Manchester United are not too solid with their performance. Lately they have so good form but it is hard to maintain it in later months. If Chelsea can improve themselves and play well, they can wait for mistakes from Manchester United and take advantage of such. It will be helpful for Chelsea to catch Manchester United and I believe it is not a too thin chance for The Blues.

However, there are more competitors for top four, not only Manchester United but there are also some other clubs like Tottenham, Newcastle United and Liverpool too. Chelsea have more competitors than only Manchester United in this race.

MU is not so bad, but I think Barcelona does have a chance to win the game.
Barcelona has a chance to win the game so does Manchester United. No club is actually too stronger than another and wining chance is sort of balancing for two clubs.

Quote
Even at the European level, it seems that the strategy implemented by Xavi still cannot work over to the European League, seeing that MU is currently in a not good mental condition. Indeed, there is still time for MU to improve their performance and strategy, but in otherside Barce will also improving their performance within this 2 weeks. I think barcelona can manage 1 goal to get 3 points.
Xavi is a young coach with limited experience in Champions League and Europa League and his club has more issues when playing in Champions League and Europa League than playing in La Liga. Xavi does not have too good ability to make his tactics more flexible to use in Europe and can not solve challenge from clubs that come from different nations. When they are from other leagues, not from La Liga, Xavi and Barcelona have bigger challenging opponents and usually they are failed to solve such opponents.

It is true that PSG has a good team and a history of league victory, but it is crucial to remember that anything can happen in sports. Lens should not be underestimated since they have shown the capacity to play effectively and cause surprising upsets. In the future games, it will be intriguing to observe how the teams measure up against one another.
They have built up their domination history in Ligue 1 and they are doing it better than Lyon in the past. I said they're doing it better because with their abundant finance resource, they will not sell their star players to improve their treasury and won't easily lose their competitiveness like Lyon.

I don't exclude future when PSG will no longer get owner from Quatar and their finance will no longer be good like now. If bad things won't happen financially, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 many more years. They can lose the title in one season but if we look at Ligue 1 in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years, they're actually winner and dominator.

PSG has more goals than Lens, so if for example Lens wins and PSG loses the next match then they have the same points but PSG are still on top. Unless PSG loses big and Lens can win big, then it's possible that Lens will take over at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
Goal difference is important because PSG have so powerful attacking and if they won't end this season with less total points than Lens or any club, it is very difficult for other clubs to compare with them about goal difference to be a winner of Ligue 1.

Quote
But even so, it will not be easy to maintain a position at the top of the standings because of course there will be greater pressure. But besides that, at this moment the top three teams are very close in points gap, so the slightest mistake will result in their position being taken over.
PSG are familiar with a first position but other clubs are not. So if they take over a first position from PSG, it's very likely that they will lose it shortly after a few match days to PSG. Because they can not maintain their good performance with pressure from top position and from PSG.

The kind of people we have in government are people who always want to fight for their selfish interests,  anything that will surely benefit them. If it's something good that has to with better development for humanity as far as it won't benefit them they will surely go against it.
In developed countries where humanity is respected and citizens have rights to fight for their freedom, governments are not free to do everything they want. They have to step back and accept some requests from citizens.

Oppositely in developed countries or ones from third world or from countries with dictatorship like Russia, North Korea, Cuba etc. people have zero freedom or little freedom. They don't have basic human rights and governments have more power.

Quote
The reason government won't accept bitcoin is not because it is a decentralized currency,  it is because they won't be able to print it like they print fiat  to steal as much as they can
If Bitcoin won't die, governments can not banned it or killed it entirely. If they can not banned the Internet and can not restrict ASIC manufacturers and Bitcoin mining farms, they can not kill Bitcoin.

Quote
If bitcoin is something the government can manipulate to steal public fund they would accept it even before now without any delay.

In contrast, they can steal your bitcoin if you store it on centralized exchanges that can be fully controlled by governments.
