Napoli this year remind me of arsenal, they don't really have many great players on the field but their determination will surely lead them to get the title both, it's true the gap isn't very big considering that we still have big number of matches to play but i always feel Napoli players aren't ready to waste this great opportunity to get back to the titles
Napoli already has quite a lot of gaps in points now with its rivals and this is clearly not because of the many great and well-known players there, but because their cooperation is still so solid that Napoli often get better results in matches. I don't think Inter Milan, Lazio, Atalanta, AC Milan and AS Roma will be able to catch up with Napoli, who currently have a gap of 13 units. Because this is a huge amount of gaps for the teams I mentioned to cover this season. So this time is a very extraordinary season for Napoli.
yes, Napoli have a good advantage, I must say, this is excellent
but it still hasn't been said, as long as there is no mathematical certainty anything can happen
I'm really happy that Napoli win the scudetto, so we change and vary a little, it's boring that the same teams always win

This season's Serie A has been one-sided. We are all almost certain that the Napoli team will win the title. Because the performances of teams like AC Milan or Inter Milan are erratic. Napoli has lost just one match this season. On the other hand, Inter Milan, who are second in the table, have been defeated in 6 matches. While Napoli is able to play well in every match, other teams are not playing well. And teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus are aiming to qualify for the Champions League. No team is currently competing for the title.

Tomorrow Chelsea vs Fulham is going to be a match between these two teams in Premier League. Between these two teams, Chelsea won only 1 match in the last 5 matches and drew the remaining 2 matches. And lost 2 matches. But Fulham last.  Out of 5 matches won 3 matches and lost 2 matches. But I am waiting to see which team will win tomorrow's game. I can think Fulham can do well in this match.
I expect Chelsea to win tonight, but I still have my doubts after their last game against Fulham... Chelsea have turned into a middle class team and now Fulham are above them in the standings... Honestly I would really like Chelsea to win, but Fulham are in good form at the moment...
Chelsea have dropped a lot of points lately and after the break the club is still unable to find stability in their game. However, the Blues have a good squad of players and experience, it may well help them to fight for places in the European Cup zone.  Chelsea are two points behind Fulham in the table and a win for the Blues would see them swap places. This should boost the Aristocrats' motivation in the London derby and give them extra strength for the upcoming match.

Chelsea's performance at the start of this season has been very poor. So their coach Tuchel was sacked. The new coach may have stabilized the team somewhat. Chelsea have earned points in several consecutive matches. But now Chelsea's performance has deteriorated again. They have won only one of their last 5 matches. Chelsea will face Fulham tomorrow. Fulham are a strong team this season. I think Chelsea will lose points in this match too.

In the last match of the DFB-Pokal, Bayern Munich had a great 4-0 win against Mainz. Perhaps the players are returning to form.
I have seen a bit of the Bayern Munich game and Mainz got not realy some great chances or made Munich some trouble.
I havnt seen the other game from Leipzig but i guess that they also was dominant in this match
Bayern Munich and Leipzig are now in the next round , what i have been expected , thought that Mainz maybe will be getting more chances.
I will for sure looking into the reviews of all 2 games.

I have no doubt that Bayern Munich is a strong team. But this season they are a bit unstable. Their performance at the start of the season was poor. Since then they have gradually stabilized themselves and regained the top spot in the table. But now their performance has weakened again. I would say now comparing the performance of Munich with Leipzig and Berlin, Leipzig and Berlin look stronger teams. Winning the title is becoming more and more difficult for Munich this season.

England won the match because of Jofra Archer's brilliant bowling. Otherwise, the England team would have been defeated in today's match as well. Except for Jofra Archer, all the bowlers gave a lot of runs. However, this match was not important for South Africa. They won the series. But South Africa would have been able to win if the top order players had started the match well. But I would say South Africa's bowling line-up is still not strong enough. They need to strengthen their bowling line-up if they want to do well in the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Agreed. It was a spectacular comeback from Jofra Archer. He has been out of action for almost one and half years and then returns to take 6 wickets in his 9 overs, and that too against a team that successfully chased a target of 343 only a few days back. All the other England bowlers were leaking plenty of runs. Archer was the only one with an economy rate of less than 6.00. So it would be safe to say that without him, England would have lost the match. South Africa didn't looked like they were comfortable, at any point in the chase. They were regularly losing wickets.
Archer is just 27-years old and therefore he has the potential to become one of the legends in pace bowling. But he needs to stay away from injury. One encouraging sign is that he hasn't lost any of his pace. Throughout the match, he maintained an average speed of around 90 mph.

Jofra Archer is still a young player. And he is a great bowler. He was not in form for a long time. But his transformation was remarkable. He has shown excellent bowling against South Africa. England won only on Jofra Archer's performance. It is a relief for England that Jofra Archer has returned to form. The England team for the next World Cup could use Jofra Archer well. But England needs one more seasoned talented pace bowler. Relying on just one bowler would be risky.

We want privacy, we want the freedom to decide our finances, and that's why we hold bitcoins, don't try to reverse things.
Instead of looking to a 3rd party service, I will trust myself and my loved ones more. My solution was to make a plan and share these secrets with the people I trust most.

South Africa have begun the innings in a better way. Mostly the match will get closer at the end over. South Africa in good form will surely fight for the win to whitewash England.
Jofra Archer made the difference with his 6 wicket haul and on his return match after a long gap, he went for runs, but in this match he was able to bowl a tight length and was able to pick wickets which made the difference from the second ODI where South Africa chased down a similar high scoring match and England were clueless with the ball and i was expecting the same but Jofra Archer picked all the important wickets and helped England win a match in the end.

Regarding long-term players, I think Erik ten Hag will do this in the summer transfer market, considering that today the winter transfer market has officially closed. Both manchester united and barcelona have shown epic performances this season and there is no doubt that the meeting between the two in the Europa League has been eagerly awaited by many football lovers around the world.
Manchester United are now looking to strengthen their squad. And they are ready to spend big to strengthen the squad. Ten Hag's main goal now is to foster bonding between players and bring stability to the team's match strategy.
The match between Barcelona and Manchester United might be very competitive. Now both teams are playing very well. Their coach Xavi and Ten Hag are doing their best to strengthen their team. It is difficult to say which team will win.
The two teams are doing well in this season but Manchester united are still in good position to win this game because, since they brought their new coach things has changed positively with their players that is making their fans to have full confident in Manchester united in this game. Barcelona coach is doing well too for bringing the team so far in this season because, many people thought the team will collapse totally when Lionel Messi left the team but the coach do everything possible to improve the team to this level.

There is no doubt that Manchester United coach Ten Hag is doing a very good job. But Barcelona coach Xavi is not doing a good job? Xavi has managed to stabilize a team that is almost in shambles. Barcelona holds the top spot in La Liga. And so I don't think Xavi will be easily defeated against Manchester United. And I'd say if Barcelona's main striker Lewandowski is able to play well, he won't have too much trouble breaking through Manchester's defense. I am quite optimistic that Barcelona will win the first leg.

After being at the top of the table for a long time, Union Berlin suddenly lost the truck. And they lost the top spot in the table by dropping points in several matches. Now though, Union Berlin's performance is stable. Even so, I would say winning the title is not possible with such an erratic performance against Bayern Munich. I think in a few days Union Berlin will lose the truck again and drop back in the points table. However, the performances of Leipzig, Dortmund and Freiburg are quite good. If Bayern Munich drops a few more points they will not be able to stay at the top of the table.
Union Berlin is like getting a breath of fresh air after the post-world cup. Berlin, started the match in the second half of this season with quite satisfying results. Urs Fischer's squad, swept 4 matches with wins in all competitions. even so, I'm quite doubtful that Berlin will still perform smoothly in the following matches. the reason is, Berlin had a pretty difficult match when they visited RB Leipzig, and had an important match against Ajax in the Europa League playoffs. this situation, will make it difficult for them to maintain their ranking in the Bundesliga standings.
Meanwhile, it looks like Dotmund has a great chance to shift Berlin's ranking, because Dortmund are in pretty good form in their last three matches. in fact, Edin Terzic's troops are quite ready to compete strictly in the top four of the Bundesliga. On the other hand, I have more attention on Marco Rose's squad. it seems, Leipzig has the right to be in second place until the end of this season.
As for Munich, I still believe Ngalemann's squad will be back on the real track.

While Bayern Munich has not been able to return to form after the World Cup, Union Berlin's players have been performing consistently well. And I don't think it will be possible for Union Berlin to occupy the top spot of the table this season if Union Berlin can't go to the top of the table with the chance of this erratic performance of Bayern Munich.

The performance of the Dortmund team is still erratic. They have made several changes within their squad. Because of this, the bonding between the players is weak. I think the second or third in the table will be Leipzig and Union Berlin.

Bayern Munich is an experienced club. They will surely return to the truck quickly. In the last match of the DFB-Pokal, Bayern Munich had a great 4-0 win against Mainz. Perhaps the players are returning to form.

Now, thanks to PSG they have a team that could potentially win the UCL, not saying they will, but that's what they are aiming at at least. This is why it's not that much fun to watch the league when PSG wins nor when they lose, it's both quite boring to see in the end.
You are right. PSG has a strong squad. And there are plenty of star players in the squad. But even then PSG's overall performance is not good due to poor tactics. Match strategy plays a very important role to win the Champions League title. Moreover, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 has decreased. PSG is just three points clear of second-placed Lens in the table. If PSG loses a match, Lens may be able to take the top spot in the table. I am happy that PSG's dominance has diminished. Ligue 1 is getting competitive.
The french league will be much more interesting once there are some clubs that are able competing with PSG like this time. It seems the internal problem is the main reason why the performance of PSG has been declining a lot. Lens and marseille made me feel confidence rather than PSG to win the title for this season. Messi will be going out from psg at the end of season. PSG needs to find a replacement for him. The performance from a combination of mbappe, messi, and neymar didn't look good from several matches.
Will we see a new winner this season? i hope we will. PSG itself already agreed with chelsea about hakim ziyech transfer but there's no confirmation whether such transfer was successful or not.

The main reason for PSG's poor performance is the lack of rapport between their players. Despite having many star players in the squad, PSG's performance has been poor due to poor bonding between the players. However, PSG coach Galtier continues to work to strengthen the team and strengthen the bonding between the team's players.

The performance of PSG players in yesterday's match against Montpellier was outstanding. Neymar was not with the squad due to an injury. But Messi and Ruiz played very well in the whole match. Galtier changed his match strategy and formation again in this match.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU WILL DO IF BITCOIN BECOMES GLOBALLY ACCEPTED JUST LIKE THE INTERNET?
For me I will open my Bitcoin mining farm that will be public with a website and registered under the law for clients that will want third-party services that will align with global best practices of cryptography and digital asset management.




When Bitcoin becomes globally accepted in your country do not try to mine publicly, keep your mining farm to yourself because of greedy and bad people, when they know what you are doing you might be a target, there is a similar situation with someone I knew where five of his mining equipment went missing, he had to involved the police and it came out to be that his neighbor was behind it.

Later the police start questioning him what he uses the equipment for, he lied to them and the policemen ignored it, if they knew it generates income per day it's another problem, later he left the area and rented another apartment far away from the state.

Theft happens everywhere in the world, as long as they are valuable, they will be noticed by thieves, not just bitcoin mining devices. Once you build a mining farm, you need to take measures to protect your property just like your other assets. All are bought with money so they have value.
OP's intention to publicize his mining farm is because of his business, he wants to expand his business and needs to find a partner...not bragging, so there's nothing wrong with him going public on everything.
1691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: February 01, 2023, 05:35:07 AM
Suppose I am doing business through an online Facebook page and website and want to accept Bitcoin. But now if I look at cryptocurrencies it comes with high volatility, and I have doubts whether accepting Bitcoin will be profitable for my business.
I really want to know your opinion on this and what are the initial steps I should take if I adopt cryptocurrency for my business? Because I see many people on the forum are taking steps to accept Bitcoin for businesses and that's why these questions araised in my mind.

I find it very profitable to accept BTC in business nowadays. People are getting more and more attracted to Bitcoin now. As a result, accepting BTC in business can be very profitable. However, you can introduce Bitcoin payments in your business. You will definitely benefit from it. If you see volatility in the cryptocurrency market, you can keep all your transactions in stable coins at the end of the day.

But what I think is important to attract people to the business is to arrange a commission on sales (20 to 50% max) to present more ads. Having a popular youtube channel. If you can do all these things, you will get success in business.

Accepting bitcoin for businesses is slowly becoming popular, and it is very beneficial for your business, but to say it is profitable for you is doubtful. When you accept payments in bitcoin, your business will attract new customers, which in turn will increase your revenue. But with the unpredictable volatility of bitcoin to say it will be profitable, we need to reconsider. To make a profit from bitcoin means we have to invest in it, and whether that investment is profitable or not depends on your investment strategy.
In my opinion, there are certainly benefits to accepting bitcoin, but to make a profit, it is up to you.
1692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to acquire Bitcoin without having the basic knowledge? on: February 01, 2023, 05:02:10 AM
It's safe to buy without the basic knowledge because it's quite easy to register on exchange and buy a coin.

Not really, there are a lot of fake bitcoins (hardforks, wrapped-bitcoins) hanging around CEX. Sure they have different networks, but would people with no basic bitcoin knowledge be okay sometime especially if they decide to withdraw bitcoins (if they only dealt with CEX their whole life)? Hearing stories about sending to the wrong network, recovering funds on centralized exchanges is generally not possible.

Not only that, without knowledge of the market, we cannot distinguish between a reputable exchange and a scam. Nowadays, scam exchanges are rampant on google, and for someone who knows nothing about the market, visiting scam websites is inevitable. Not only with bitcoin, but we should not invest or buy anything without knowing anything about it. It is a stupid act that is wasting our money and does not bring any benefit to us.

Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin are different coins!

Bitcoin Gold is a Bitcoin fork, as you can read it on their official site https://bitcoingold.org/

It's misleading if you think the company in your country are want to spread a real Bitcoin globally, since they're promoting for Bitcoin Gold. It's either they got tricked and think Bitcoin Gold is a real Bitcoin or they have a purpose to promote Bitcoin Gold.

Thanks for the useful information, this is also the first time I know about bitcoin Gold's existence, I'm like OP, I think they do it to promote bitcoin, not bitcoin gold. But with this way of advertising, I think it is more beneficial for bitcoin than their product because I believe many people will not know about bitcoin Gold but only bitcoin.

Today, I think the name bitcoin will not be unfamiliar to everyone, where there is the internet and smartphone, there is also bitcoin. But the problem is people still don't understand what it is because of some barriers created by the government.

after officially getting juranovavic, laidouni and roussillon, union berlin still wanted isco but unfortunately he failed to pass union berlin medical test thus making his recruitment to union berlin fail.
A good game seems to be shown again by Union Berlin. that's good, now the standings for the top 6 are at least very competitive. and if this can go on until near the end of the season. we will be really surprised to see the Bundesliga champions. are they the same, or is it from an old player who will lift the trophy?
Munich had struggled to get back to their game before the break at the end of last year. and now they should be able to keep their game.
well, i'm really surprised to see how competitive the Bundesliga is this season, Union Berlin, which had fallen to 5th place, but has bounced back and only has 1 point difference with Bayern at this time.  bayern is still struggling, this moment is a good opportunity for union berlin to shift Bayern again.
It's not surprising because Union Berlin continues to get its wins, while Bayern Munich often get draws in previous matches. But indeed this is much better because the Bundesliga will be more competitive seeing competition between teams and not only being dominated by 1 club like Bayern Munich.

After being at the top of the table for a long time, Union Berlin suddenly lost the truck. And they lost the top spot in the table by dropping points in several matches. Now though, Union Berlin's performance is stable. Even so, I would say winning the title is not possible with such an erratic performance against Bayern Munich. I think in a few days Union Berlin will lose the truck again and drop back in the points table. However, the performances of Leipzig, Dortmund and Freiburg are quite good. If Bayern Munich drops a few more points they will not be able to stay at the top of the table.

Amir Hadžiahmetović has finally signed with Beşiktaş. The transfer fee to be paid was too much for me. I hope he will be successful. Şenol Güneş wanted this transfer very much. It's a very long contract. Of course, such transfers have risks, but if successful, it will take the team for many years. There were a lot of names in the midfield, but it was weak in terms of quality. This transfer can be a full point transfer. What matters is what the player will give on the field. Will they play alongside Gedson, which is a question. Maybe Gedson can play more offensive side.

Besiktas' performance at the start of this season has been poor. They lost points in several consecutive matches. Now slowly they have solved their problems and are now able to create a stable match strategy. At the moment Besiktas aims to strengthen their squad and compete for the title next season. Besiktas are spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. Hopefully Besiktas' performances will be stronger next season with the addition of Amir Hadžiahmetović and Gedson Carvalho Fernandes.

I saw the frustration on the face of Christophe Galtier, he needs to be careful when they meet Bayern Munich on February 14. His job depends more on the club's Champions League performance.
I wouldn't agree more. PSG results in Ligue 1 are normal but quite frustrating since Lens and Marseille are close to them.
Losing Ligue 1 title might end his carrier with the team and I am almost sure he will not continue with them next year if he lose in Champions League games against Bayern.
The ridiculous point is that both teams are wasting victories vs easier teams in their domestic league...

PSG will likely fire Galtier if they fail to win the Ligue 1 title. However, PSG's main target is the Champions League. If PSG is able to play well by playing champions, then maybe PSG will keep Galtier as coach. And they will try to make the party stronger. Even if PSG can't play well in Ligue 1, they have the potential to play well in Champions League. Because their opponents Bayern Munich are not in good form. They have drawn in the last three matches. So if PSG's three attacking players can play well then they can win against Bayern Munich.

After successfully wining the T20WC it seems the English side doesn't want to do the same for ODIWC. This teams performance in ODI has been going from bad to worst. I understand that South Africa has the home advantage but after scoring 342 runs if the English bowlers are not able to defend this total then their is a big problem that needs to be looked into. 
It was unbelievable to me that England would lose this match after setting a big target of 342 runs. After watching England's innings, I assumed that England will win this match. But at the end of the match I was quite surprised to see the result. Except for Olly Stone and Sam Curran, every bowler in England scored a lot of runs. We expected a better performance from an experienced team like England. Although the batsmen have performed their duties well, the bowlers need to improve their performance.
Yes match surprised me too. South Africa played really well. Temba has made century and made 109 runs for 102 balls.
England bowling was bad in this match or we can say that South Africa was looking strong both are correct statements. We can see Adil Rashid gave 72 runs on 60 balls and out two players of South Africa.
The target was really good but South Africa chased it in 49.1 overs and gave 5 wickets. That was a great match.
From the beginning of the innings, the South African batsmen batted responsibly. The pitch was completely batting friendly. So the South African players don't have to face much trouble to score runs. Especially Temba Bavuma and Dawid Miller's innings made the road to victory easier for the two South African teams. Also, there is no way to say that any of the team's batsmen performed poorly. Every batsman tried his best to perform well. And every batsman has a role to play in the team's victory. If every player in the team is able to perform well, even if the target is big, victory can be achieved.
Mostly Bavuma will withstand wicket and then only thinks of scoring. In ODI he used to maintain good average score. In the second ODI he had a marvelous innings scoring 109 runs. The strike rate isn't that high, but the contribution helped the following players have their natural game than pressurising to score runs. When there is contribution from every player, automatically they were able to chase any big target.

If the openers start the innings well then it becomes easier for the team to collect big. And middle order batsmen can bat without pressure. But if the opener is not able to start well, it is difficult for the team to collect big. England set a huge target of 343. Two South African openers have collected 140 runs. They have performed quite well. This made it easy for South Africa to win the match. If the opening pair plays well, it becomes easier to win big targets.

And what others have thought:
https://twitter.com/OfficialNBARefs/status/1619815874583752704
The referees themselves admitted that they have make a big blunder on that last play, a drive by Lebron which they didn't call any foul. On the other hand, they call a foul + 1 on the other side prior to the call to make the score tie. And James is really mad after that but he can't do anything but to continue to play but eventually they have lost the game. And this game is closed to rigging and cheating by the referees, in my opinion.
There's the ref on that side of view on that image and I don't believe what they say. In those crucial moments, they have to review if it's a foul or not, right?
But they didn't call it out since it's their home team that's in danger of just losing the game with just 1 free throw to get in made by James. There should really be a call out on that incident and more sanctions and punishments for those referees that neglected their duty.
Yes, I certainly agree! They said it themselves, "Like everyone else, referees make mistakes". But the question is, are they getting some penalties or some sort of punishment because of the move they did? I guess not and for that, they should evolve for a much better referee so that every game is somehow fair and just.
By the looks of it, it sure looks like the refs made a bet on the Celtics side and the reason why they cheated or rigged the game. Just a thought.

Regardless of them having placed any type of bet on a certain team, I think they should be punished so that the referees are going to be very careful in the next match. But at the same time, I believe there should be an inquiry to actually find out if the referee actually did rig the game.

Because these types of mistakes generally do not happen in my opinion. But that is also true that they are also human and to err is human. But they have to remember there is a lot of money on the line from these matches.
