Girona's performances have surprised us all since the start of the season. We cannot predict whether this team will be in the top 10 of the points table. However, the Girona team has been occupying the top spot in the points table for a long time due to their excellent performance. However, due to erratic performances in the last few matches, the Girona team is now third in the table.
Although Girona have performed well this season, their squad is not strong enough. The squad lacks experienced players. This is the reason why in the last matches we see the erratic performance of Girona's players. If the Girona management takes the necessary steps to strengthen their squad next season, Girona will be in contention for the title next season as well.
It is really a "shocker" that they became that good, but also it is a proof that City group system works, they do not want every player to play for City right away, they want to get the players but also let the players grow in other teams, so they bought out Girona as well. Look at Savio or whoever that guy was, he is going to City already, so this success of Girona worked well for City as well. I think it should be a case study how money should be spent in football, there are other rich teams and they just spend whatever money however they want, whereas City is spending money in a smart way. Girona took advantage of that and built a team that was good backup for City, and this allowed them to have a good squad without spending much. |

Real casinos will never die. Since gambling is supposed to be entertainment it is much nicer to be in a casino than staring at your screen. The atmosphere makes the difference. Also where else can you get free drinks, free food and maybe even a free stay if you gamble enough. In an online casino you maybe get some bonus which you will lose anyway sooner or later. In a real casino you eat, you drink, you have fun with other people. It is a much better experience and you have cash in hand if you win, unlike online with waiting for withdrawals or getting accused for multiple accounts at some casino site and then not getting paid.  Online is just convenient, that's it. Yeah and it means that as long as they can provide for some entertainment, there won't be any problems at all. People do not go to casinos just to gamble, they go there to have some fun, you see a show, you drink some booze, you smoke some cigars, you meet some people, you stay at a good hotel (usually casinos have their own hotel) and plenty more other stuff. This is why it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with something that won't be as easy, it is going to take some time, we should consider that as a big problem. I believe that we are going to end up with a much better return, we need to consider that as money lost but a lot of fun had, so it was worth it and that's why physical ones will always stay. |

Juventus who started the season on a very good note were tipped by many to go on and win the Italian Serie A because they weren't involved in any European competition this season but after a run of poor games with disappointing results, the Old Ladies of Turin were left in a position that they can't recover from to win the Italian scudetto again this season. Two days ago, they defeated Lazio with a 2:0 scoreline in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi final game which have served as a kind of relief to some of the club's players and manager but that doesn't mean that they've qualified to the final of thr competition because they'll have to visit Lazio for the second leg if tge tie. Lazio might not be a one of the strongest four teams in Italy but they're a formidable team that's capable of beating any Italian team on their day and should they play in their full strength against Juventus in the second leg of the semi final, they might just eliminate Juventus by coming back from the two goals down to win the semi final tie
That was the most shocking thing, other teams are in European competitions, so between getting injuries on those extra games, and getting tired, that could be a reason to slowly get worse after a good start. But Juventus had nothing like that, they are not in any European competitions, all they had to do was focus on the league games and they still failed that. I believe that manager change would help them a lot, they need to find someone who is good. Italian teams do enjoy Italian managers, and that is why I feel like they should hire someone that could be better for them. Spaletti is managing the national team, he could be convinced to get to Juventus if they pay him good money, it would give him a chance to show what he can do again. |

It's much much different with a national team, can be a bit of randomness. You don't know the team very well, they don't know you, you don't even know about injuries and if players play different, it's very much your luck. You have a known team, you don't have a known quality. Zidane knows this. It's different to instil motivation for 11 players who are like family, eat sleep train together. But to have a group who only have nationality in common, no, not the same. Zidane is not so gutsy to take this risk  You have a point there also.  France players have been used to playing according to Didier Deschamps system for so many years. There must be a really strong bond there. When there is such change it won't be easy for the players to adapt to Zidane. This would take some good amount of time to happen. As you said it is the same for Zidane also to have full knowledge about the players. Yeah, and to be perfectly fair Deschamps is also very well respected in his system, Zidane has not earned it yet, it will be very hard unless he starts out first as adviser or something, or technical assistant. And maybe he feels he's too big to take the role. You can't step in and build a bond or winning mentality you have to start before you start. I don't think Zidane is a fit at all, I mean I like him so much even as a Barca fan, but I think France needs to look forward, not behind. Zidane has earned whatever he wants to earn by winning three champions league titles in a row. I am not saying that he showed anything else, that was it, he managed for only three seasons and he did nothing else and won that three UCL back to back. That alone is a reason why he is not coming back. Why would he? He has all the money in the world, a good investment strategy I bet, and will never need money. He tried his hand at manager position, won three UCL in a row, and if he ever comes back and loses that would taint his reputation as a manager. Imagine him going to France, and then the team sucks and loses, wouldn't he be the one that would be responsible for it? The team does good already, if they do badly, then all his reputation he built as a manager would be gone. So, he is rightfully afraid. |

Fiat is a centralized currency. It will always be traded under third party monitoring. This is how it was made. It will be under the control of a country's government. You cannot call it wrong or think of correcting it because it is made that way. Bitcoin, on the other hand, was created as a decentralized currency. The owner can do the transaction alone and there will be no other third party presence. Currency should be accepted and used as it was created.
This is exactly why I am using crypto as well, there isn't any type of changes made by some person who wants to make a change. That's literally the situation at fiat, some dude goes and says he wants this, and he gets it, that's it. Of course people elect that person so it is not like some random guy, but at the end it is still one person. Whereas in crypto we all make our decision and not really make it any different, we could improve it and make changes if we want to, but that doesn't mean that we are going to be at the mercy of anyone else. This is why decentralized currency is far superior than centralized currency. Fiat is the old money, there is no need to keep investing in it, you will not gain anything from it at all. |

Regardless of what is happening, I still expect and believe that bitcoin will continue to increase in price before and after the halving, meaning I remain bullish this April.
In just the first 4 days of April, we witnessed a decline in bitcoin, many people began to become pessimistic and thought that the bull season would soon end. But to me, this is a healthy and necessary adjustment to create stronger growth momentum. It is not yet time for the market to fall sharply again, bitcoin will rise from here and touch $80k before a sharp decline.
I'm with you but only because I'm looking purely at the chart and I'm not considering anything else but price action. The daily chart still looks good imho even though it hasn't been able to break above around 73.7k USD since it hit that last month. Weekly and monthly charts look a lot better and the red candle is really looking like just another normal correction. Again imho. And with the news of 2 billion USD worth of BTC to be sold, shouldn't everybody start selling down their bags by now? If anything I think it's good news for the guys who are sidelined rn. Charts can tell a story, but the real story is that halving is coming up soon, and we should be considering the possibility of a big increase after that one. I believe that 75k+ should be possible all thanks to halving coming up, that will definitely make it more interesting and people should consider that as a great way to make money as well. I am not saying that it is going to be all that interesting, there will be situations where it won't be that profitable, but we could make some money from it without a doubt. So that is why I am invested and will probably keep my investments as possible as it gets. Shouldn't be a problem where it is going to take some time to get ahead of the world, just let it sit for a while and it will go up. |

Manchester City have a really tight fixture lately. They have another PL match to play in 2 days and only 3 days after that one they are going to play the first leg in the Champions League. Guardiola has a really tough job to do truthfully. Because they are in a fierce fight for the PL title on the other hand. He can't just do a big rotation as a result. De Bruyne and Haaland were rested in the Aston Villa match. However Haaland's rest might have a different reason. His form has dropped a lot lately as you know.  I really wonder who we will see there in the first leg, Haaland or Alvarez? I do agree that it is going to be pretty tough for City without a doubt, we are talking about players who were on a break, then played many games back to back, all of that tires players out a lot and that should be something to worry for them. I believe that we are going to see City end up crumbling down eventually, that's going to take a bit of a time and should be very important in the end. I am not saying that it is going to be something that will take all of their power out of them, of course they will still be a good team, but they wouldn't be that dominant force that we have seen last year, that is why I believe that we are going to end up with something that could be this hard to handle, they should be having some troubles. |

In the final round of the DFB Pokal, Bayer Leverkusen will meet the Bundesliga 2 club (Kaiserslautern). Xabi Alonso has a big chance of giving Leverkusen his first trophy in this match because the opponent he faces is not as tough as his rival who is in the top four positions in the Bundesliga standings. A treble is very realistic for Bayer Leverkusen if you look at how they play in every match, they also still hold the record as the only team unbeaten in all competitions this season.
Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed themselves for the DFB Pokal final, they are also 13 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and still survive in the Europa League. Bayern Munich's chances of winning the League title are closed after being 13 points behind Leverkusen, the only trophy that Bayern Munich can still win is the UCL Trophy.
It should be something to celebrate for Leverkusen to win that cup without a doubt, but you know who should be even more proud? Kaiserslautern, how many times have you seen a championship team reach finals at FA cup? How many in France? In Italy? In Spain? In Netherlands? Portugal? Scotland? Ireland? Turkey? Belgium? This is something you do not see very often, it is one of the rare moments in football where a second division team could actually end up winning the cup, there is one game left between them and the cup. In all probability, we will see Leverkusen win of course, but it is still quite a huge achievement to be there, and that is the important thing. Leverkusen should be happy, but Kaiserslautern should be even happier. |

Currently, there are no significant obstacles for Liverpool and also the quality of their team is better than other teams, so Liverpool are always favored.
Against Atalanta in the quarter-finals there shouldn't be any difficulties for Liverpool because in terms of quality these two teams have differences and it is clear that Liverpool is much better than Atalanta this season.
If there are no big surprises then I think Liverpool will be able to reach the semifinals easily.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen did have difficulty beating Qarabag to get to the quarter-finals, but I don't think that can be used as a reference because in my opinion we also have to look at Leverkusen's overall performance since the start of the season in all their matches and they are quite strong I think.
Leverkusen seems like the only choice that could win it outside of Liverpool, I believe that's going to be quite tough and I do agree that it is not going to be easy for everyone, but I do think that we are going to end up with Leverkusen posing a difficulty for Liverpool in the end. I am not saying that Leverkusen will win, that's never known, hell maybe they will lose the next games, but at the same time if we are talking about just possibilities then yeah Leverkusen seems to be the best bet there is for it. Liverpool on the other hand has a tough schedule, with the league and all, which is why I think it is not going to be that easy and could be tired after that many games, so that's going to be a problem for them. |

As you said it is the same for Zidane also to have full knowledge about the players. I really don't know what Zidane really wants now though. It has been rumoured for a long time that he wants to work with France as a manager but I don't know if this is really his intention now. I agree, that seems to be working as well, one world cup and one world cup finals shows that they are doing alright, I do not think that there is a need to change it anytime soon. France has been pretty well and I think whatever they are doing seems to be working and should keep going. I think they could have won the euro as well, they just got a little unlucky that's all. I believe that they have a golden generation, great amount of players who are about the same age, and could be a powerhouse for at least 10 more years, that could be very dangerous for the world but it is the truth. This isn't just about Mbappe, sure he is amazing, but even if you remove him, the rest of the squad isn't all that bad neither when you look at it. |

But IMO, this is not the right time for accumulating Bitcoin. It was supposed to be doing last year while the price was in the dip, not in this bullish condition. Of course, we can still make some profit but not that much if we are buying at a cheaper price.
Compared to last year, it is true that the price of bitcoin has increased a lot and buying bitcoin now will not be as profitable as buying bitcoin last year or in 2022. But what about new entrants to the market? If they hesitate and do not buy because they think the price of bitcoin is too high, they will no longer have the opportunity to buy bitcoin. Because I believe it is very difficult for bitcoin to fall below $50k or $40k. Meanwhile, bitcoin still has a chance to increase to 100k USD, so buying now is not too bad if we have long-term goals. Just because it is "not as profitable", doesn't mean that it is not profitable, people should still look to invest into bitcoin no matter what because that would still lead them to some profit as well. I have to say that things are looking great to me because while we are dealing with something that looks quite profitable, we are also looking at a bull run that will be coming up. The situation we are having right now means that we are going to end up with a bull run due to halving, because after halving it is almost always a bull run. So, if you buy right now then that means you are going to make some money in the end. I hope that becomes a reality, and that means buying right now is still the right thing to do, even if you fear it. |

In terms of dominance they only excel in the utilization of momentum for opportunities only I think because seeing from what happened in this match Juventus did play the same as usual because seeing from what they did I think the performance did not change too much.
But indeed the utilization of Juventus momentum is better, especially for the second half where the opportunities they have are successfully converted and 2 goals I think it is a good situation for Juventus.
At least this can make them take one step to ensure themselves in the final even though there is still leg 2 but at least this match with an aggregate of 2 goals it can already be a good benchmark for Juventus. In addition, this is also a reply because previously they had to lose to Lazio in Serie A and the victory in Leg 1 this time is certainly a revenge that is like waiting for what they will do in Leg 2 later.
Juventus is this level of a team now, sure at the start of the season they were better, but looking at the situation right now we can easily say that they are not as good as they used to be. This means that expecting them to be as good as they were at the start of the season would be naive, and betting accordingly would make you lose money as well. Doesn't mean they won't win games, they can still win games, even against great teams, but they probably would lose a lot more so it should be something we need to be careful about as well. This should be the situation that we have on the long run and if we could make that work then we are going to do a lot better with time as well, that is what matters for us the most. |

And with the kind of points that Real Madrid is having, the chances of Madrid winning should be around 90 to 80 percent sure. For the Champions League, I am not that sure about that for Real Madrid because we all have our eyes on the Champions League. Because even last season they threw away their chances of winning the Premier League, I am not that sure about that for Real Madrid because we all have our eyes on the Champions League. because even last season they threw away their chances of winning the Premier League, and they were so focused on chasing the Premier League that they lost both the Premier League and the Champions League. This time is going to be different since they will win La Liga. Their performance is not that bad this season, and if they were all determined to win the Champions League, they would have been able to win it last season but this season is theirs. I don't think Real Madrid has the energy to win two titles, only Manchester City can do that. For now, nobody can do that. When we play, we can decide who is stronger.
At this point, Real Madrid could put forward their U19 team and will still be champions at la liga, there aren't any situations where they are not winning the title anymore, it is almost guaranteed that they will win it, I wouldn't put them at 90%, I would put them at 100% guaranteed if you ask me. Mathematically it may look like it is not guaranteed yet, but anyone who watches football would know that it is 100% guaranteed that they will be the winners. Which gives them chance at UCL as well, because while City will be tired having games back to back and trying to win premier league and having trouble with Arsenal and Liverpool, Real could rest any player they want, and just not care about the league, which is a big benefit. |

I would say don't underestimate Turkey. Turkey are already favoured more than Czechia to qualify from Group F according to the odds. Turkey had a better qualification phase than them as well. We finished our group as the leader and ahead of a team like Croatia at the same time. This is a really good success.  Source: https://www.oddschecker.com/football/euro-2024/group-f/winnerThis happened thanks to the new manager Vincenzo Montella's strategies. Friendly performances can be very misleading so I'm not taking them into account. Besides we didn't even have our main squad in that match against Austria. I think we are strong enough to beat Czechia and Georgia both to finish in 2nd place at worst. In this group there are no doubts only about Portugal, they were lucky with such simple opponents for them, in everything else there is no certainty, I would not even be surprised if Georgia is not the last. But I am still more inclined to believe that the Czech Republic will be able to take second place, they are showing a good game, but the one who does not lose to Portugal will have the best chance, and for the Czech Republic it will be a difficult start, they will play the first match with Portugal. Remember, qualifying and the cup itself may have different players, the same Turkey (maybe they didn't care) lost to Austria 6-1 just this break, and they looked like a team that was so horrible that I can't believe that they even qualified, let alone have a chance to actually lead that group. If they play the same way, they will end up with zero points without a doubt, and considering they do get rare chances to attend these cups, I feel like it wouldn't be that good for them to have such a bad result, it's doubtful they would be in world cup, and they will be forced to hope that they can do better next time out. All in all, I believe that things change, not just for Turkey, but it changes for many teams, from qualifying to cup itself. |

Moreover, I'm not sure Barcelona can threaten Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings. Barcelona always has difficulty maintaining their good performance, and they even tend to have difficulty winning easy matches for the rest of the season. Real Madrid is still very likely to create a bigger points gap than Barcelona, but this might happen in the next El Clasico.
I agree with you, Barcelona cannot threaten Real Madrid's position with their current 67 points. It is already clear that Real Madrid will win the trophy, not Barcelona. There are still eight games left to play, I believe Real Madrid will not lose any of them because I only consider the next El Clasico game as a serious challenge for Real Madrid, I don't think they will lose to Barcelona. The first meeting did not go well for Barcelona at home, it is obvious that Real Madrid will win the second match at home. Barcelona's chances of competing for the title has ended due to a lack of consistency this season, they were unable to maintain their winning ways this season. And that is the wildest thing about them this season. If they ended up not being great, like if Barcelona played much better and Real failed to win many games and they were the ones that was second place, I would have totally understood that because lack of a striker for such a team is a big deal. They couldn't really do anything with Joselu, dude is nowhere near the real Madrid level and he ended up not playing much after a while when they realized they can't play with him. So, now for a long time they have been playing without a striker, that has to be one of the most important parts of the deal, and I believe that will definitely reach to a point where things will end up being a little different for many people in the world. |

We all have heard a lot of stories about Zidane. And recently we also have heard a lot about him coming back to manage a team. But most of them had been rumors and did not have any base. To say that he will be able to do really good with the France national team is probably not a very bad idea to have. After all, he has been able to manage Real Madrid really well. Of course, there is a big difference between club football and national team football. But I think he has shown enough to prove that he will be a capable coach. But the bigger question in this situation in my opinion is probably, is he actually going to take the job?
If Zidane receives an offer from the French national team, I think he will accept it. He is a legend of France and his coaching experience was immense. We haven't seen him at the head of a team for a long time. Why shouldn't we see him in charge of the French national team? I think he will accept it and play in the matches as the head of the team. They are also one of the favorites for Euro 2024. He can do wonders with the last World Cup finalists, France. I do not think that he will. Dude made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to manage, and while managing a national team would mean a lot lesser games compared to a club team, it would still not make sense. If he wants to manage then he can manage almost half of the world easily, and probably get the job in the other half of the world as well if he pushes for it, so going for France doesn't make sense. Don't get me wrong, he would be perfect for the job and there is nothing wrong with that, I am just saying that we are going to look at something that will change things on the long run. I believe that the best thing we could do right now is let dude have his retirement and enjoy it, he doesn't want to do anything at all. |

The percentage of people losing their bet is far greater than those winning their ticket. Casinos would have been seized to exit if the opposite is the case due to liquidation and bankruptcy. However, it's not true that gambling is a place to lose since it's not a place to make money. This statement is being used to create awareness among gamblers whom might have the believe of becoming rich through gambling. Quite alright, there are few people out there making a decent amount from gambling but that's not always the case.
The reality about gambling is that, it's actually a place to pass out time and have some entertainment with your money while there's possibility of making more money in the process but that should be the last thought in your mind. Thinking you can make money from gambling on a norms is misleading one's self and shying away from the reality. You don't want to lose? Kindly stay away from it.
Although that is true, the fact that the illusion of making money is there is basically the main driver of gamblers. If the games were the same, but you would only win points instead of money, they would be not as popular as they are today. Gambling is popular because of the illusion of becoming rich, not the entertainment value. That is still the only reason why people gamble. Just this year, we have seen some turn 50 dollars into FORTY TWO MILLION dollars, that is insane, that is not realistic, I would even say that was a lie if I didn't see it coming from a place we trust. Sportsbet.io had that, and it was incredible and still can't believe that the money was paid and withdrawn that quickly, dude took the money and left right away. I would have done the same thing to be fair to make sure it's real and not a fake win. So these type of news, where very very very tiny portion of gamblers, as in one in many tens of thousands, end up with a big win, makes people want to gamble and hope that they would be the same thing in the end as well. |

If we talk about performance it seems like WIF is the meme coin that has had the best performance this year. whoever held onto this meme coin from the airdrop has probably now made thousands or thousands of dollars. However this good performance certainly cannot beat Doge's popularity and Doge remains the most popular meme coin to date.
That's the problem. If we already knew which "meme" coin was going to "pump", we would've been rich by now. They're like a game of chance where winning is based on pure luck. You could either win big or lose everything in an instant. Totally not worth it, in my opinion. If you've got money you can afford to lose, then go ahead. Otherwise, I'd suggest you choose serious cryptocurrencies with a long-term plan/vision instead (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, etc). Despite the fact that there are numerous "meme" coins on the market, only one has shown resilience over time. That "meme" coin is Dogecoin. I believe it will survive, while the rest go down the drain in an instant. Elon Musk is the one who started this craze, anyways. Without him, "meme" coins would be nothing today. Who knows what will happen in the future? Yeah true, pumps are unknown and we have no idea which one will go up and which one won't. I think the fact that we are looking at the market and not understanding why even the ones that went up even went up, talks about the situation enough. Like I see one of them go up 25% one day, and I look at it and there isn't even a news about it, like if there was some new feature or something new then I would at least sort of understand it, like some new development occurred and now they can use it for something or whatever, none of that. Nothing happens to a meme and it just gets hyped and go up. I believe most of them are just pump and dumps, rich people just buy a lot, pump it, and then dump it on all those people who gets hyped. |

Bitcoin is currently priced at $69k again and it could even drop a little or increase again, no one’s can assure where it’s actually heading. But one thing is certain, bitcoin price will always surprise us with its new ATH in its perfect time. For now, just manage its usual price fluctuations as we can’t actually stop bitcoin from being volatile.
However, despite of its high volatility, I am still optimistic to see its price consistently surging high just before halving. And since we are almost near for bitcoin halving, the price movement of bitcoin makes us more thrilled and excited. I guess everyone is.
I would guess that smaller movements do not really matter that much to people in the market, sure its a movement and I understand that some small time traders do make money from it but for us it doesn't really mean anything. For most people we wait for the bigger movements and usually end up with something much better with time as well. I know that it is going to take some time but we are going to end up with something that could be only profitable or at least cared when there is a 10%+ change for the day. Looking at the price, that would mean either 63k or 77k, and we all know that won't happen these days, but if it does somehow happen then we are going to see the whole market react, and not just the day traders. |

I did expected bitcoin to win, but didn't really expect it to be leading with 90%+ of the votes, that's a lot. I think it is quite important to realize that we are talking about something more than just what people prefer here, I think we are talking about something that will take a while.
Hopefully we could have something like this in real life as well, that could be very good for all of us, it should mean that bitcoin price will go up. Just imagine going higher than gold marketcap, that alone is nearly 10x higher price, and not like that can't happen, there is a possibility that it could very well happen. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a good win eventually, but that win will come with time only, so we have to wait.
