Juventus managed to beat Lazio 2-0.

the second half was dominated, they even risked scoring the third goal.
Allegri has saved his place for now but the league standing considering the missing games is still at high risk.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.


In this match, actually, if you look at ball control, Lazio is clearly superior to Juventus. However, this opportunity could not be exploited properly by the Lazio players, so the Lazio players just played with the ball. Then when Juventus controlled the ball, Lazio's players were always unable to block attacks more effectively. Maybe if only Lazio could play more calmly when in the Juventus defense area, I'm sure Lazio could score 1 or 2 goals too. However, because the Lazio players were not calm when attacking the Juventus defense area, as a result there were no dangerous kicks that the Lazio players could shoot. Apart from that, in this match the Lazio players tended to look rushed and made many wrong decisions when in Juventus' defense. Apart from that, Lazio's defense line also looks less dense in defense. So several times Juventus had the opportunity to add to their goals. Maybe that was the biggest mistake Lazio made when they lost that match.

In contrast to Juventus, who managed to get out of the deadlock that plagued them throughout the first half. In the second half, Juventus managed to take advantage of the opportunities they had to score a goal. So with these results Juventus are now 2 goals ahead of Lazio temporarily in the Coppa Italia semifinals (2-0 aggregate). However, Juventus cannot be satisfied with the results achieved so far. The reason is, it is possible that Lazio can correct their mistakes in the second leg and turn things around. Because from what I saw, Lazio's performance in that match looked less than optimal. So Juventus must be more careful, because I am sure Lazio's performance will be good again in the second leg.

And about the referee's decision regarding VAR. I think the referee's decision is questionable.

West Ham's match against Tottenham was very tough and ended in a draw with a score of 1-1 and the goals were scored by Brennan Johnson in the 5th minute and Kurt Zouma in the 19th minute. And even though Tottenham played at home to West Ham, they dominated the match overall.
And currently Tottenham is in 5th place with 58 points, which in my opinion is impossible for Manchester United to catch up with those who are in 6th place with a difference of 48 points. And Tottenham still has the chance to be in 4th place in the standings, only 2 points away from Aston Villa to win a UCL ticket.
Yes, Tottenham's match against West Ham was quite tough. The reason is that in this match the two teams traded attacks. So I personally don't get too bored watching the match, even though the final result of the match ends in a draw. However, I was quite entertained watching the match. So after Tottenham Hotspur drew with West Ham, as you said, currently Tottenham's ranking is quite safe in the top 5 of the Premier League. Apart from that, I have a prediction that could most likely happen regarding changes in Tottenham's ranking in the next few weeks.

So my prediction is that next week Tottenham will definitely be able to rise to 4th place in the Premier League and will definitely be able to overtake Aston Villa. The reason is that next week the team that Tottenham Hotspur will play against is a team that is not too strong, namely Nottingham Forest. So head to head or in terms of performance, Tottenham is definitely superior. Therefore, it is very likely that Tottenham will definitely be able to win the match and be able to get the full 3 points.

Apart from that, next week Aston Villa, who is currently ranked 4th in the Premier League, will face a very strong team, namely Manchester City. So it is very likely that Aston Villa will have difficulty winning when facing Manchester City. The reason is that currently Manchester City is in very good performance.

So that Tottenham Hotspur's scheme can rise to 4th place in the Premier League. When Tottenham Hotspur can beat Nottingham Forest and Manchester City can beat Aston Villa or draw. If everything goes according to my predictions, it is certain that Tottenham Hotspur will be able to rise to 4th place in the English league.

Madrid can almost certainly win the competition for the trophy, although mathematically Barcelona and Girona still have a chance. The only tough match that could trouble Los Blancos is against Barcelona, the rest I predict Ancelotti fleet can sweep the match clean by getting full points.
Barcelona and Girona have points on paper, but I don’t think they can in any way win the Laliga title ahead of Madrid because Real Madrid is in good form more than the two teams and I don’t think they will misuse this opportunity to

~Snip
Currently Real Madrid is quite far ahead of Barcelona and Girona if you look at the points scored. Then if you look at the difference in performance, Real Madrid is also better than Barcelona and Girona. Therefore, Barcelona and Girona will certainly find it very difficult to shift Real Madrid's position from the top position. Because for example, a match that might shake Real Madrid a little is the match against Barcelona and for example Real Madrid loses that match. But still, Real Madrid will definitely remain firmly at the top. The reason is, the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points. So, if for example Barcelona wins against Real Madrid, Real Madrid is still 5 points ahead. But apart from that, I think Real Madrid can definitely beat Barcelona. The reason is that in the previous meeting, Barcelona was defeated by Real Madrid. So in the next meeting, I believe Barcelona will most likely lose again.

For this reason, for the remainder of this season, Barcelona or Girona will definitely only focus on maintaining their current ranking in Laliga. Because according to my personal assumption, Barcelona or Girona do not have high hopes of becoming top of the Laliga standings.

Apart from that, Barcelona and Girona's match schedule next week. Barcelona will face Cadiz, and Girona will face Atletico Madrid.

Results of today's Saudi Arabian League matches. Al Nasr was able to finish off Abha with a very crushing score. Then Al Hilal was also able to beat Al Okhdood with a fairly big score too. In my opinion, these two matches are the ones that most attract the attention and interest of football fans in the Saudi Arabian League. Especially the match between Al Nasr and Abha. The reason is that in this match Ronaldo again showed his abilities by scoring three extraordinary goals (Hatrick) against Abha. Although basically it can be said that it is natural that Al Nasr won a landslide victory against Abha. Because currently Abha's performance can be said to be not good. The reason is, Abha is currently ranked 17th in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) standings. So of course Al Nasr's victory over Abha can be said to be natural. But what surprised me, in that match Al Nasr was able to win over Abha with a score of 8-0.

Then for the match between Al Hilal and Al Okhdood. In my opinion, the victory achieved by Al Hilal is also very reasonable. The reason is that Al Okhdood itself is ranked 15th in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL). So it is natural that Al Hilal was able to beat Al Okhdood easily. Although the goal scored by Al Hilal players was not as big as the goal scored by Al Nasr players against Abha. However, in this match, Al Hilal proved that until the 26th week, Al Hilal had not been able to be defeated by any team in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

And other team matches in the Saudi Arabian League in week 26.

Al Hazm VS Damac (0-0)
Al Raed VS Al Khalej (0-1)
Al Ahli VS Al Ittihad (1-0)
Al Feiha VS Al Wahda (1-2)
Al Tae e VS Al Taawon (2-3)

Betting all in with all the money you have has the potential to win and can cover any losses you experienced previously. However, the risk of greater losses is no less great. So when you do all that to recover your losses, indirectly you also have the risk of making your losses bigger. Therefore, I personally very rarely spend my money (All in) when carrying out gambling activities. Because this has a much higher level of risk. So I personally prefer to enjoy gambling slowly, even though I am in a losing position in gambling. Because if I insist on returning all the losses I experienced while gambling. Then I used all the remaining money I had and bet (All in). It feels like it will tire my mind a little. So I personally prefer to gamble casually, whatever the conditions.

Because I personally don't mind running out of money when gambling (money that I specifically allocate for gambling). Because this money is definitely cold money. Apart from that, what I know is that sometimes many people experience big losses when gambling which results in their money running out (because of All in). So after seeing many examples, I don't want to go all in (All in) in gambling activities. Maybe quite a lot of gamblers have succeeded in making big profits by using all their money when gambling (All in). However, maybe because this is not my gambling style, as a result I am a little uninterested in using the All in technique. So I prefer to gamble with small amounts of money, but I gamble often. Because gambling is a very enjoyable entertainment. So for example, I run out of money to gamble, before I receive another salary from where I work or from my personal business. Of course I will stop gambling. Because of course I will wait first to have cold money and of course I will get this cold money when I get a salary from where I work or from the income I get from the business I own. Therefore, I personally prefer to play casually when gambling (not all in).

Inter will be playing for a must-win tonight. The points difference with second-placed Milan is down to 11. Last week they drew with Napoli and lost points. They were also eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. I'm sure they will focus more on the league now. On the other hand, Empoli are in the relegation zone. I don't think they have a chance against Inter in this match. The odds for an Inter victory are low. But I think Inter's win is a sure thing.

Inter started the match quickly and scored with Dimarco. It was already clear that the champion was superior to Empoli, they will try to widen the gap. Thuram and Martinez can also score goals. Empoli is also looking for a goal with M'Baye Niang. More goals will be scored in this match, both teams are attacking. Empoli now has nothing to lose. They have to get points to avoid relegation.
The final result of the match between Inter Milan and Empoli was 2-0. Maybe the score should have been higher. However, in this match, Empoli also played quite well and were able to provide significant resistance to Inter Milan. So until the second half whistle sounded the score remained unchanged, namely 2-0. So, even though the goals scored by the Inter Milan players were not big, Inter Milan still managed to take home the full 3 points. And this is the main goal that Inter Milan wants. However, what is worrying is that Empoli is currently increasingly trapped at the bottom of the Serie A standings or more precisely in the relegation zone. The reason is, after being defeated by Inter Milan, Empoli is currently ranked 18th out of 20 in the Serie A standings with 25 points.

Actually, Empoli still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone. As long as in the next match, Empoli must be able to win. Then Frosinone, who was ranked 17th, lost their match. Maybe this will be a little difficult to happen. The reason is that in the upcoming match, Empoli will face Torino. Because if you look at Empoli and Torino's head to head record, the result is that Empoli has not been able to beat Torino in their last 5 meetings. So the possibility that Empoli can win over Torino is very small. Meanwhile, Frosinone, who is ranked 17th, will face Bologna and it is very likely that Frosinone will lose. So if this week Empoli wants to get out of the relegation zone, Empoli must be able to win against Torino or achieve a draw.

Yes Arsenal was more of defensive because they can't play an attacking football with Manchester City because that would have cost them the game since City has more possession of the ball, one important thing i noticed about Arsenal in the game is that they allowed City to have more control of the ball but they kept them away from their post because City did not have the opportunity to shoot shots like they used to do when they play against other teams. The game wasn't that boring just that most people expected to see goals in the match but when they were not seeing goal attempts they became angry watching the game.
Exactly, Arsenal really relied more on their defense in this match. Their target means actually preventing Man City from scoring goals. And they used a quick counter attack system to attack, so they only had a few chances to advance into the Man City area and couldn't win more balls. But, even though they are quite defensive, Arsenal's shots on target are actually more compared to Man City. This means that Arsenal's game is actually working quite well, but it cannot be denied that Man City's defense is also strong, their goalkeeper is also strong. And Draw could be Arsenal's worst target for this match.


I think Arsenal's main goal was a draw. Of course, it would have been better if they had taken a big chance and won, but as far as we can see, it was a match where both teams paid attention to their defensive aspects, perhaps that is why no goals were scored in the match. Both teams were trying hard to score a goal, but they could not do it. Nevertheless, this score was a score that did not upset either team but only made Liverpool happy.
In this match, Arsenal and Manchester City both showed good quality. Even though in the Manchester City versus Arsenal match, the ball was controlled by many Manchester City players. However, in my opinion, this was of course predicted by the Arsenal coach, therefore the steps taken by Arsenal were to defend. The reason is, Arsenal coaches and players must already know the risks of playing in an attacking position against Manchester City. Of course there is a big possibility that Arsenal will concede. Therefore, Arsenal chose to play in a defensive position. So Arsenal managed to hold Manchester City to a draw.

Then after I saw the results of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal which ended in a draw. I am increasingly convinced that the three teams currently fighting for the top position in the Premier League (Liverpool, Arsenal, Manado City) have almost the same performance. The reason is that when Manchester City faced Liverpool, the result was also a draw. Even though in Liverpool's match against Arsenal, Arsenal won. However, in that match, Liverpool was not yet in 100% condition. The reason is that at that time many of Liverpool's main players were injured. So I personally still think Liverpool's defeat against Arsenal was because many Liverpool players were injured. So in essence Liverpool still has the same performance as Arsenal and Manchester City, if Liverpool is fit.

And after Manchester City match against Arsenal ended in a draw. Currently, Liverpool is again at the top of the standings with a difference of 2 points from Arsenal and 3 points from Manchester City.

The last game Real Madrid played went well all thanks to the young player Rodrygo. They got all 3pt but I still feel these guys or should I say the Madrid side are missing something in every game they play. They can't get more goals like they used to, they got Bellingham and he wasn't enough, soon Mbappe will be joining the squad (until then) but you see that number 9 position is a great miss for Madrid.
Madrid don't have an attacker, no natural number 9 and that's disturbing them, with Benzema on the squad they don't find it difficult in getting goals. The Madrid side are more deadly when they play with Benzema than without Benz and this is going to affect them in the champions league, they just need a better striker and they're good to go.
It's true, when Benzema was still with Real Madrid, his goal productivity was very good. So it is not surprising that Real Madrid currently lacks goal-hungry attackers. Maybe if, for example, Mbappe was really successful in being recruited by Real Madrid, maybe Real Madrid could be more productive in scoring goals. The reason is that Mbappe is a forward player who can be said to be very good and has above average abilities. So if next season Mbappe manages to join Real Madrid, maybe Real Madrid will perform even better.

Even so, even now I think Real Madrid is performing very well. The reason is that currently Real Madrid is still firmly at the top of the LaLiga standings. Then Real Madrid also managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. So that shows me, this is a really extraordinary achievement for Real Madrid this season. Even though this season Real Madrid sometimes cannot score many goals in every match. However, in my opinion, this cannot be used as a benchmark. Because if a team manages to score lots of goals in each match, it does not necessarily mean that the team will be the best in a competition. Therefore, in my opinion, Real Madrid is currently performing very well and has quite good balance in every line.

And in the next UCL match, Real Madrid will face a very strong team from the Premier League, namely Manchester City, in the quarter-finals. Maybe this match will be a very interesting match. And of course we can see what Real Madrid is like when facing a team like Manchester City.

Im sure ronaldo will shift to be a new coach in the future.

Wait what? I cant even picture him as a coach lol. I think he might even play until the age of 48 or something considering that his whole life was prepared to play football for almost forever.

If he ever retired, there will be tons of other jobs opportunities waiting for him. He could be pretty much a model for anything. Whatever he wears will most likely sells like crazy. Even better, picture him as an actor because thats a possibility for him as well. Imagine getting him on a screen, tons will be willing to watch him play a role on screen
Ronaldo is a very great footballer today. So the possibility of him becoming a football coach will definitely be very big. Apart from that, if Ronaldo becomes a football coach in the future, I am sure the price to bring in Ronaldo will definitely be very expensive (to train). So in this case I totally agree with @x-ray. Because if, for example, Ronaldo continues to play football until he is over 45 years old, in my opinion it is unlikely. Because, even though Ronaldo is a footballer who is very disciplined in managing his lifestyle. So he can still be very fit today. But even so, Ronaldo is a human who certainly has certain limitations. So in my opinion, it is unlikely that Ronaldo will play football until he is 48 years old.

And talk about the wider career that Ronaldo could pursue after retiring as a football player. In this context I completely agree with @arallmuus' assumption. The reason is, currently Ronaldo is like a world superstar. Maybe most people in the world already know Ronaldo. So, if, for example, Ronaldo wants to become an artist or actor after retiring from football, I don't think it will be difficult for Ronaldo to get a positive response from this. The reason is that until now Ronaldo often stars in advertisements for various products.

So in essence, both of your opinions are not wrong. Because the two assumptions you both put forward are very reasonable. However, I personally would add a little, namely don't forget that Ronaldo currently owns a company. So it is also possible that after Ronaldo retires from the world of football, he will focus on the business world.
190  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: April 01, 2024, 01:59:35 PM
Today I started doing pushups in the morning and was only able to do three push ups. On the third attempt I was only able to do 17 push ups. I guess I need to improve the food to increase the push up, the more energy the body produces the more I can push up. Of course since I accepted the challenge I must be able to give 100 push ups before reaching 100 bitcoins.
In my opinion, what you are experiencing may be caused by a lack of warming up before doing push ups, friend. Because what I experienced, when doing sports that have quite a lot of repetitions, such as 100× push ups, you definitely have to do a good warm-up first. Because this will prevent your body muscles from shaking when you start push ups. Apart from that, maintaining a good diet must also be done. Because this will allow your body to recover more optimally when you have done 100 push ups. However, in this case that happened to you, in my opinion you should warm up when doing push ups more optimally. So do you warm up first before starting push ups?

And if you feel pain or soreness when doing push ups, this is very normal if you are still a beginner at doing push ups. Because as far as I know, this happens because the muscle tissue affected by push ups (chest muscles, triceps, biceps and back muscles) will split and of course there will be pain or soreness (initial phase). And later the muscles will grow back so they get bigger. However, when the body's muscles adapt well, the pain will decrease and you won't even feel pain anymore after doing push ups.

Additionally, I have also completed my 100× push ups today. So as of today I have only completed 300× push ups.

What you say is true, and maybe it is very easy for you to convey it. But believe me, doing all that is not as easy as you say. Especially if you are facing urgent needs, such as family needs that must always be met and the only money you have is bitcoin (investment). I think there is no harm in deciding to sell bitcoin in a situation like this. Because I personally think this action is a very good thing, rather than having to borrow money from other people or banks.
So I personally would not blame investors who are not strong enough to hold Bitcoin because of family needs.

That's why, when investing in Bitcoin, we should use cold hard cash, and we should have emergency money, as well as savings. Because if these three aspects are not implemented well, then when economic conditions or financial conditions are not good, the solution taken will definitely only be to sell bitcoin.

And for example about network congestion, slanted news, and falling bitcoin prices. Only then is this really not worthy of being used as material to make us sell bitcoin. Because it's just something that will return to normal in a relatively short time. So don't panic or be afraid when this happens. However, I emphasize again, the family needs factor cannot be avoided. So neither you nor I can assume that people who sell bitcoin because of family problems are weak bitcoin investors.
192  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 30, 2024, 07:32:09 AM
Bitcoin is headed to $100,000 and that's not speculation. OK, maybe it is, but the 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K challenge is real and has been echoing throughout the community for a week now, so I thought I would make a thread here for those of us who want to try and hold ourselves accountable.

~Snip
This is a very interesting challenge and also very useful, friend. Because I am also someone who really likes sports, including doing push ups. Moreover, what is even more interesting is that this challenge will last until Bitcoin reaches a price of $100k. So this challenge will definitely be very exciting to do.
Therefore, I will also take part in this Challenge, and I will start it from today. Because for me doing push ups has become a very routine habit from 2021 until now. It was all because at that time (2021) I had high blood pressure (hypertension) and often took medication. But the problem is that if I don't take the blood-lowering medication, my blood pressure will return to high levels. So from there I started to learn a lot about healthy lifestyles, and I started exercising at home.

Starting from push ups, pull ups and also jogging. Then slowly all this paid off and finally my high blood pressure went down (without medication). So after I was healthy and normal again, I decided to continue these healthy habits until now. So for me, doing 100x push ups probably wouldn't be that difficult. Because after 3 years of continuously doing push ups and other sports, my body is getting more adapted and used to doing these things.

So today, March 30 2024, I will start taking part in this Challenge(100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K). And hopefully the price of bitcoin can reach $100K soon.

And a little tip from me. If all of you are still having difficulty doing push ups up to 100 times. So don't give up and do it regularly. Because what I experienced after 2-3 weeks of doing push ups was that body was definitely starting to get used to it. And to make it easier, divide 100x push ups into 4-5 sets a day (20-25 times per set). So by doing this, I think it will be easier to achieve 100x push up repetitions, compared to doing 100x push ups at once.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: March 29, 2024, 07:59:21 AM
Says who? You can win with your high level of emotions, because losing and winning when gambling depends on luck, not your emotions, so someone who is emotional when gambling can win if its time for them to get lucky.

Exactly the same point as what I said before in this thread. The ability to control emotions is good to minimize the possible bad effect of gambling but it will not help us to have bigger chance to make money from gambling. There is no guarantee in gambling, whoever we are, how patient we are, how good our emotion control, how good our bankroll because Luck does not care about all these things. No body knows when the luck come, to whom the luck come, and how the luck come because it is like a mystery that we will never able to predict.
I agree with your opinion, because controlling emotions cannot be used as a benchmark in determining luck. Because in reality gambling only relies on luck. However, emotional control also really needs to be learned and applied when gambling. Because this is useful when you are in a constant losing position. Because from my personal experience and I have seen the experiences of several other gamblers. Not a few gamblers experience big losses due to losing, but force themselves to continue playing just because they want to return their capital. Well, that's the type of gambler who can't control his emotions to the point of harming himself.

Therefore, I conclude that emotional control is very important to apply when gambling. Because this can be a limit so that you don't get caught in too big a loss. Apart from that, in my personal opinion, it is very unpleasant if you bet too ambitiously and use too much emotion (anger). Because of course when you gamble but use too much emotion, you definitely won't be able to enjoy the gambling. Maybe gamblers who express too much emotion in gambling, in my opinion, only want to make a profit. And don't care about the fun of gambling.

But I personally don't blame gamblers who are like that (can't control their emotions). Because of course all gamblers have their own styles and desires when playing gambling.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 29, 2024, 07:32:22 AM
Al Hilal will really take over the dominance and also the title after winning last season by Ittihad FC, this is good start for Al Hilal in returning to having perfect strength to continue to be SPL champions.
Only competition this season that can be seen very clearly is about Al Hilal and Al Nassr who always compete to get points to determine the standings.

In recent seasons, Al Nassr has continued to provide competition in the race for the championship, but unfortunately they continue to fail until now even though they contain quite good players, Al Hillal's ability to win the championship cannot be separated from their consistency and performance this season which is very stable even when they have a more dominant squad containing local players,  Even better, Al Hillal triumphed when they didn't need Neymar in the squad.

~Snip
That's right, this season Al Hilal seems to continue to remain firmly at the top of the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) standings. The reason is that currently the Al Hilal players have carried out their duties well by providing maximum results in the 24 matches they have played in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) without defeat. So Al Nasr will not be able to shift Al Hilal's current position. Because what I see currently is that Al Nasr is experiencing a decline in performance. The reason is, when Al Nasr played against teams like Al Hazm and Al Raed, Al Nasr was unable to produce maximum results. The result was only a draw against Al Hazm and a loss against Al Raed.

Therefore, this season Al Hilal does not need to worry about its position being shifted by Al Nasr or other teams. Because it seems that currently there is not a single Saudi Arabian League team whose performance can match Al Hilal. Even though Al Nasr has many top European players, Al Nasr still cannot match Al Hilal's performance. Because in my opinion Al Nasr has an incomplete player composition.

Honestly, if you look at the transfer market in the SPL last summer, the most striking among the other Saudi Arabian teams was Al Nasr. The reason is, Al Nasr has brought in many well-known players from Europe. But unfortunately, Al Nasr is too focused on bringing in players who play as wingers and attackers. However, Al Nasr forgot about the players in their defense line who were still weak. In my opinion, that's why Al Nasr often concedes goals when competing in the SPL or ACL.

But on the other hand, Al Hilal has a very complete player composition. The back, center and front players are very good and strong. So that the defense flow and attack flow carried out by the Al Hilal players are perfect. Therefore, Al Hilal has a very sharp attack and a very strong defensive wall. And that's why Al Hilal is currently undefeated.

Barcelona is almost certain to lose the La Liga title this season when Real Madrid leads the standings with an 8-point advantage with 9 games remaining. Real Madrid is comfortable enough to maintain its performance until the end of the season, but if they drop a few points in the next few games then maybe Barcelona can get closer.

The matches against Bilbao and Mallorca are something that Real Madrid must win before El Clasico, so if both can be won then it doesn't matter if Real Madrid loses in El Clasico. However, it would certainly be dangerous for Real Madrid if they lost one of the matches against Bilbao and Mallorca, they would be in danger of losing points in El Clasico too.
It's true, Barcelona's hopes of becoming La Liga champions are no longer great. Because in my personal opinion, Barcelona will definitely have difficulty catching Real Madrid's points at this time. The reason is that currently Real Madrid has a very good performance and is difficult for the teams in La Liga to beat. The reason is that this season Real Madrid has only experienced 1 defeat. So for the next matches, it is very likely that Real Madrid will continue to get the full three points. Because of the teams that Real Madrid will face in the remaining Laliga matches, I am very optimistic that Real Madrid will definitely be able to sweep all the matches to the maximum.

Moreover, in the next few weeks, Real Madrid's opponents will be Mallorca and Bilbao, which in my opinion are very likely to be defeated by Real Madrid. The reason is that in the last meeting between these two teams and Real Madrid, the result was that Real Madrid was able to win. So at this meeting I am sure Real Madrid will perform well and can definitely beat Bilbao and Mallorca. So,
Because of these factors, Barcelona will definitely have difficulty catching Real Madrid's points. Maybe if there is a miracle, Real Madrid loses against these two teams (Bilbao and Mallorca) while Barcelona continues to win (including against Real Madrid), this could definitely make Barcelona lead the top of the Laliga standings. But this will certainly be difficult to happen. Therefore, currently Barcelona only needs to maximize every match well so that its position in the current standings is not shifted by Girona.

Liverpool's recent performance in the league is getting better and they have been showing glimpse of improvement in their games. Against Southampton I expected a draw and a tough game but Liverpool played so well, dominated the game and were able to finish the game with all three points. I think the situation is changing and they are getting back in form.
Yes, it is true that several previous matches saw Liverpool win. I hope that in the Premier League against Brighton which will take place on the 31st at the end of this month, Liverpool can get a win and provide enjoyment for Liverpool fans. If Liverpool wins it will put themselves in number one position on the standings.
In my personal opinion, Liverpool has not completely returned to its best performance. The reason is that currently there are still many Liverpool players who are injured. So this will definitely have a big influence on Liverpool's performance. Apart from that, if we talk about Liverpool's match with a team like Southampton, I think it's only natural that Liverpool can win. because of course Southampton and Liverpool have a very big difference in performance. The reason is that currently Southampton is not playing in the Premier League, because last season Southampton had to be relegated. Therefore, it is natural that Liverpool can beat Southampton even with a limited squad.

Then for Liverpool's match against Brighton which is scheduled for this week, I think I also believe Liverpool can win that match. However, even though it is true that Liverpool can win the match against Brighton, it is not certain that they will immediately be at the top of the Premier League standings. Because of course Liverpool have to wait first to see which team wins the match between Arsenal and Manchester City. So, for example, if Arsenal wins, Liverpool will most likely remain in second place in the Premier League because Liverpool will lose on goal difference to Arsenal. However, if for example Arsenal lose, Liverpool will definitely be at the top of the standings. And if Arsenal's match with Manchester City ends in a draw, then Liverpool could also be at the top of the standings.

So in essence Liverpool's position this week will be determined by the match between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Last season, maybe Inter was one of the most unexpected clubs in the UCL because they were able to reach the final round, but had to lose to Man City, and this made sense. For this reason, Inter's hopes are much greater this season so that they can return to the next round. However, their steps had to stop in the 16th round. Yes, take the lesson, that now they have to focus more on Serie A. In Serie A, they actually have no opponents. Because the distance between the points and the clubs in the lower ranks is quite far. So, Inter has great certainty to win the Serie A cup this time. They will take over Napoli's position as trophy holders last season.
Yes, this season Inter Milan's hopes of reaching the Champions League final were dashed because they lost on penalties against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. Maybe if Inter Milan can win against Atletico Madrid in that match, and successfully qualify for the last 8. Maybe now Inter Milan can have superiority and calm compared to other teams that have qualified for the top 8 of the UCL. Because as we know, Inter Milan currently has a huge points advantage in Serie A. So with this, Inter Milan can definitely be more focused, if they qualify for the top 8 of the Champions League.
But even so, time cannot be turned back and Inter Milan must be able to accept all of this with grace. The reason is, even though this time Inter Milan lost in the UCL, in the Champions League next season, Inter Milan will definitely have a big opportunity to compete further in the Champions League.

Apart from that, in the Champions League next season, it is very likely that Inter Milan will definitely win the Scudetto and the jerseys worn by Inter Milan will definitely be better. So with this, Inter Milan will definitely be even more enthusiastic about being able to chase the UCL trophy next season. And currently Inter Milan must be able to perform even better. The reason is that currently Inter Milan has a lot of time to develop very effective strategies or tactics. Even though currently, as you said, Inter Milan doesn't seem to have an equal opponent in Serie A. However, Inter Milan should not use this as a matter of arrogance. Because in the world of football, everything can change drastically at any time. Therefore, Inter Milan must continue to work hard to continue to develop good strategies and tactics. So Inter remains in first place in Serie A.

And in the next match Inter Milan will face Empoli, I think this match will not be too difficult for Inter Milan.

Those who are ready to invest new time should know that it is better to invest their capital in a place where the probability of loss is very low. Newbies are greedy for money and invest in Shitcoins. There is a lot of risk and short term hold in the market, but I would say it is best for beginners to invest in Bitcoin. Because there is no possibility of losing money if you invest in Bitcoin, because the money of all investors who have invested for a long time is safe. So if you want to invest in cryptocurrencies and want to keep your assets safe then it is better to choose Bitcoin.
It's true, Bitcoin is a better investment asset than shitcoins. Because it's no longer a secret that shitcoins can experience their prices dropping to zero. This is because shitcoins have a centralized system and control is held by the coin's creator. So, if for example the coin maker took all the liquidity of the coin, then the price of the coin could become zero. So shitcoins are best avoided. Because investing in shitcoins can be dangerous and detrimental. So if you want to invest, it's better to just invest in Bitcoin. Because apart from the information you mentioned, if we invest in Bitcoin, we don't need to worry about its liquidity being taken by its creator. The reason is that the creator of bitcoin (Satoshi), most likely will not do that. Therefore, investing in bitcoin is indeed a very appropriate step. Because it is very likely that bitcoin will never touch zero, even though bad conditions occur in the bitcoin market.

And besides that, I also believe Bitcoin users/investors will continue to increase every year. Therefore, everything can be seen from price movements in one cycle or every 4 years which continue to experience very significant growth. For example, a few weeks ago the price of Bitcoin touched its new ATH, even though the bitcoin halving or bull market had not yet arrived. So with these facts we can see that the number of bitcoin investors is increasing.

Currently the competition for the title in the Saudi Pro League no longer looks interesting to watch because it is almost certain or can be said to be certain that the champions are Al-Hilal with a long-point advantage, no one can possibly catch them

~Snip
Yes, you are absolutely right, friend. Al Hilal is currently unbeaten by any team in the Saudi Arabian League. Even a team like Al Nasr couldn't beat Al Hilal. So with this the Saudi Arabian League becomes less attractive. Maybe until this season ends, I think the situation in the Saudi Arabian League will continue to feel like this. Because as you said, the candidate to win the Saudi Arabian League is clearly visible, namely Al Hilal. So with this all the matches in the Saudi Arabian League have become very boring. Even when Al Nasr plays, the tense sensation is no longer felt. So if it continues like this, I think the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) could experience a decline in audience ratings. Because currently the situation in the Saudi Arabian League is like just waiting for the season to end and Al Hilal to win. So basically what else should you pay attention to, if the situation is like that?

Maybe the solution is that next season the Saudi Arabian League clubs must work even better. Such as adding quality players (whether players from Europe or not), replacing coaches who don't suit the players. Because in essence the biggest problem currently occurring in the Saudi Arabian League is that there is no balance of quality between the many clubs in the Saudi Arabian League. The reason is, it all started with the many top European players who joined Saudi Arabian clubs in last year's transfer market. But unfortunately only a few clubs are able to bring in these top European players. Such as Al Hilal, Al Nasr, Al Etiffaq, Al Ittihad and also Al Ahli. So there are still many other clubs in Saudi Arabia that do not bring in top players from Europe. Because of this, the balance of club quality in the Saudi Arabian League has become less stable.

And that's why things like this happen (the Arab League becomes unattractive). For this reason, starting next season clubs in Saudi Arabia must be able to strengthen their teams very well. So that the Saudi Arabian League can be more competitive.

It's true that Toni Kroos wants to stay one more season with Real Madrid and a contract agreement until 2025 has been agreed. Real Madrid really relies on him to handle the ball in midfield and of course Toni Kroos will not be able to refuse an offer from the team he has played for for the season. It is now increasingly clear that Toni Kroos' role is very important and Ancelotti really trusts him to be able to mobilize Real Madrid's current young squad.

There had been offers from several clubs but it seemed that Toni Kroos was still more comfortable at Real Madrid and even though there had been quite a long period of deliberation, he finally chose to stay at Santiago Bernabeu. It seems like Luka Modric, it is likely that Toni Kroos will still get the next offer if his performance remains consistent until the age of 38. Real Madrid supporters will definitely be very happy to hear the news that this veteran player is still staying until next season.
Currently Toni Kroos is 34 years old. I think it is very natural that at that age, Toni Kroos still has very good performance. Moreover, Toni Kroos is at a club like Real Madrid which has a high level of discipline towards its players. So it is no longer strange if Real Madrid players are in their 30s and above, but still have quite good performance. Because physical exercise or diet must be maintained properly. Apart from that, Toni Kroos has above average abilities, making him irreplaceable in midfield. So, in my opinion, the new contract that Toni Kroos has signed with Real Madrid is very appropriate. Because of course Real Madrid still needs someone who is experienced and still has very good performance like Toni Kroos. The reason is, currently the midfield player who has been at Real Madrid for a long time (Modric) is very old, namely 38 years. So before there are young players who can replace Real Madrid's midfield, I think Toni Kroos is good to continue being placed there.

Apart from that, Toni Kroos will not leave Real Madrid for another club, even though he has received many offers. The reason is that Toni Kroos has been at Real Madrid for a long time, around 10 years. So Toni Kroos is definitely very comfortable at Real Madrid, and he feels like family with all the players at Real Madrid. For this reason, Toni Kroos will certainly reject all offers from other clubs, so that he can continue to stay at Real Madrid. And of course this step makes things easier for Real Madrid compared to having to look for other players who will definitely have to adapt again.
