I'm not sure, France is not the same as it was when they actually won the World Cup. I hope the Netherlands wins this one, even though it's going to be a tough one. Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and many others have such amazing squads, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Also I reckon the hosts are not going to make it to the next stage even though there's going to be amazing celebrations prepared for them.
LOL.. what makes you believe that Netherlands is going to win the world cup this time? They couldn't do it when they had legends like Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten and Edwin van der Sar playing for them in the 1990s. In the next decade also they had key players such as Wesley Sneijder, Robin van Persie, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben, and again failed to win the trophy. And now you are assuming that with useless players such as Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong they will lift the world cup?

It seems ridiculous to me that the Netherlands will win the World Cup. Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben were outstanding players. Yet they failed to win the title. Because overall Netherlands team was not strong. And their performance as a team was not very strong. This year too the Netherlands have got some very talented players. The Netherlands squad includes players like Virgil, de Ligt, de Jong and Depay. But even then their attack is not strong enough. A stronger and more stable squad is needed to win the title.

I don't know why USA is always at the forefront when there is a war related issue
The USA has killed so many national solder and have taken so many innocent lives of the people - now this is another war looming - God have mercy on us.
There a reason behind this, USA will not spend a lot of money if they will gain nothing from this.
They have been the strongest country that many countries rely to in return of something, and with this most probably Taiwan will play bigger role for USA and that’s why they will do everything to protect it. Now, with a clear statement from USA, it looks like China wont go for a war because they can’t also afford to have this, they are also struggling economically and with the possible sanctions, they might suffer more.

They are the number 1 power in the world and want to influence all countries in the world, this confirms their number one position and moreover they are the world's leading arms exporter country since the world since After World War II. It can be said that once there is a war, they are the most profitable country.

It is understandable that the two sides compete for Taiwan, it can be seen that Taiwan is the mainstay of the world's semiconductor industry. Taiwan accounts for more than 50% of the world's semiconductor industry market share and all technological equipment depends on this sector. If anyone holds the field, they are considered the future holder of the world.
In my opinion, whether China will launch an attack on Taiwan will depend a lot on the outcome of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

But if you'll look at the positive side of it, it also has an advantage because you will still be able to look after your kids at home and you have an assurance that they're safe since you can monitor them. It's really hard to manage things at home especially if you have kids but you really need to sacrifice and always look at the brighter side of working remotely. There are lots of parents who want to work at home just to be with their family but they don't have the same opportunity as you have. Sometimes appreciation over exhaustion is what we need to feel more motivated and grateful.

Yes, I am aware of the fact that nothing is perfect as we always wish it was. Although there is also the pressure to work at home, I still feel better than working at the office. As you say, I can monitor my children and that makes me feel safer. Sometimes the work is too stressful, I can rest and turn to fun with them for a while, which restores my spirit and makes me feel comfortable and refreshed. Nothing is perfect, still better when we can choose something better for us.

Lol, Arsenal Win or Draw. This is not a prediction, I think you are playing a guessing game here.
Arsenal will try to maintain their position at the top of the table by beating Tottenham, but it will not be easy to beat Tottenham because they have not got a single defeat this season. This match will have high tension and both teams will try to get the goal first to improve the mentality of the players.
This match will indeed determine the fate of Arsenal as the top of the standings because what is certain is that Arsenal will really want to maintain the top position for longer. Tottenham are the team most likely to threaten Arsenal's position because in general the performance of Conte's men is also in good form. Last season's H2H was quite a draw as both teams won at home but lost away, but for this season the final result will be very difficult to predict.

IMO, Tottenham deserve to take advantage at home and they should take advantage of this to get maximum points. I don't know if Tottenham can beat Arsenal, but they don't deserve to be doubted this season either. I just hope the result of this match will be in Manchester City's favor, meaning I expect both teams to draw.

It seems to me that Arsenal might not be able to win this game for some reason. You know, as of now, they have not faced any major opponents. So, I think this match is going to be a real test for Arsenal.

Due to the fact that this match will be played on Tottenham's home ground, the team should be able to produce a good performance in this match. As far as I am concerned, I cannot shake the feeling that Arsenal might lose this match. As well as showing good performances this season, Tottenham has also shown some good results so far. When it comes to facing the top teams in the English Premier League, we're all aware of how Arsenal have lost a lot of games in the past.

But on the other hand I still feel this will also be a little bad. France is one of the national teams that is considered to have a big chance in the world cup but during this Nations League, Deschamps seems to have lost momentum and is still confused about placing players. They seem to have no chemistry and big names are just names for their players because they often rely on individuals rather than teamwork.
In these games, they shouldn't show everything just before the World Cup. It's also about tactics and that could help the other teams. If these games lost, it is not such a big loss compared to a game in the World Cup. There, many more people watch and the interest is much higher. The winner of the tournament will be talked about many years from now. What about over the UEFA Nations League?
For 1 to 2 matches it can still be said as not showing their best ability but for the 6 matches they did 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, it's definitely not something that can't be considered as not showing their ability because if they did, it would be like humiliating themselves. Even more interesting here is that they had to accept defeat to Denmark twice with almost the same score.
The number of injuries in France is so high. It is certain that they will improve during the world cup. Their starting XI has been weakened by the losses of Lloris, Kimpembe, Theo Hernandez, Pogba, Kante and Big Benz. Kounde, Dembele, and Coman were among the super subs who were lost. It is, however, impossible to accept such a result. It's a good thing Austria didn't beat Croatia. If that happened, they would be relegated. In Qatar, I wouldn't be surprised if they get eliminated in the group stage because of all that's going on in their camp.
I think France has the most star players of any football team. Mbappe is one of the most in-form players in the team. Besides Griezmann, Mandy and many other players who play great football. All together will be a great team in the upcoming World Cup. However, I cannot consider France as a favorite team this time.

France team has many star players. Forwards include star players like Mbappe, Benzema and Griezmann. However, the France squad is not strong. Their performance is very poor. Because the chemistry between the players is not good. They cannot perform well as a team due to lack of understanding between them. Also, I don't think France coach Didier Deschamps is experienced enough. Despite having a lot of talented players, he could not stabilize the team.

If I could choose and my choice could happen, then this is the position I want. Seeing the competition in the standings is fun, unlike the previous season we are shown things we have often seen and even seen. We haven't seen a standings like this in a long time, or indeed never at all. Lol
Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg and Hoffenheim, there is no Bayern Munich name there. Grin

We haven't seen a points table like this in a long time. Every season we are used to seeing Bayern Munich at the top of the table. But this season Bayern Munich is fifth in the points table. They have lost points in their last four matches. It doesn't look like their position will change anytime soon either. However, the Bundesliga is becoming more competitive. Apart from Bayern Munich, other teams are also trying to win the title. And I will be happy if these teams can continue to fight for the title until the end of the season.
2187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 25, 2022, 05:21:40 PM
Angel  Dimaria transfer to Juventus was a good one for the club and even at old age he is still a good and creative midfielder. He has proven his quality over time and has played in the world biggest stages.
Juventus has much injury problems, even before now, it has been and that is how I understood that younger players heal faster than old players when there is an injury.
But I cannot say that these are the major reasons for Juventus poor performance, I can say that it's the coach.
Angel Dimaria is one very experienced and talented player I have come to love watching play for his pace, dribbling skills and outstanding creativity. He has proven his quality times without number even in his time at PSG so there is little or less to prove further, he is aging and gradually stepping into retirement but still making his marks over the time for Juventus. It really baffles me that he is still good and has something to offer at this stage of his career.

I have no doubt that Di Maria is a talented player. Even though he is 34 now, he is still a great player. Di Maria's performance with Juventus is quite good. But a 34-year-old player cannot be made a permanent striker. There is a possibility of getting injured very quickly. If Juventus want to continue their good form and aim to win the title, they should definitely look for young talented strikers. Relying solely on Di Maria will not make their performances consistent.
2188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 25, 2022, 05:07:55 PM
In the T20 format, it is not only necessary to maintain the wicket but also to maintain the wicket and increase the batting score.  Even then  there was no problem with the Pakistani batsmen losing wickets towards the last, unless they could score 180 or 190 runs. Well, anyway, now it's a matter of seeing how Pakistan are going to perform. If they can take three-four wickets in the power play, I think they have a chance to win.
Pakistan have taken 3 wikcets in first 3 overs. Muhammad Hasnain has got 2 wikcets in his first over while Nawaz got a wikcet in his first over. England batsmen are not showing responsibility, its not a big score but they have given away 3 wickets in first 3 over.
As per the current situation, Pakistan is in a good place to play. Pakistan bowlers are doing very well. 3 batsmen of England are out in 3 overs. Their middle-order batsmen will now have to test their technique. But Pakistan can win today's game.
England is in satisfactory condition as current run rate.  But four wickets falling so early could spell bad luck for England.  Pakistan's Mohammad Hasnain is bowling very well with two more overs to go.  Still with 6 wickets to go but England's start was not as good as expected.  Still I think winprobability is unpredictable.

At the end of 9 overs, England collected only 63 runs. And they need 104 runs in 11 overs. As England lost all four batsmen in the top order. So England's chances of winning this match are still very low. If Harry Brook and Moeen Ali at the crease are able to form a big partnership then England will have a chance to win. But if this partnership is not prolonged, England will not be able to win. The pitch is not batting-friendly. It is difficult to score 10 runs per over on this pitch. I think Pakistan will win this match.

As someone who works remotely, having a quiet environment especially away from distraction will provide more efficiency in my task however it doesn't mean that you should isolate yourself among other people but rather to be able to have enough quiet environment to focus on. Yes, it is hard to work if your children are asking for this and that and playing which could distract from our work but still having someone around or beside you is a great thing to have if you're working remotely.
There are some tips that I do to avoid distractions during the day, without the noise and of course the kids fall asleep quickly. Night tends to be more effectively used for work. Well, that's what I've been doing since the 2020 pandemic started. I changed the pattern of working time moved tonight (stay up). The stillness of the night and the cool atmosphere gave me a much better level of focus. No need to isolate yourself from the people around you. We just need to manage time as ideally as possible.
Sometimes I love to work at night as well because it's more peaceful but the only enemy we have at night is that we are feeling sleepy and it's also cold too when it's passed 1 am in the morning. Also when I sleep during the day time, I have a difficulty of doing it because it's now noisy outside and then it is also hot when it's passed 10 am in the morning.

I wake up during these times many times because I can feel the heat inside my room. This is why I revert my schedule again back to morning even if there are some noise, only because I want to sleep peacefully at night. Our brain will function properly if we have a good sleep and our eyes doesn't hurt too the next day.

That's what I tried, worked at night because I thought it was quiet so we could easily accomplish my work and I would sleep in the morning. But everything is not the same as we calculate, awake too late and sleeping the next day, it does not help me to be more awake, and to be honest, for a married person like me, I could not have a good night's sleep when my children were awake out there.

Working at home helps us to avoid pressure when facing the boss while working, always serious to complete the work and we do not have the same comfort as at home. But at home, there was really my own trouble, when I face my two children when I was working and the surrounding noise made it difficult for me to focus.
2190  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The economic danger of China and Taiwan war on: September 25, 2022, 01:14:26 PM
Despite its huge population and stable economy, China can't simply afford to wage a major war. Human life has become more precious, as the Russians have just found out. Many of the families have just one child each nowadays and they don't want to sacrifice their children in needless wars. And in China, the situation is more exacerbated as a result of the one-child policy. An invasion of Taiwan will cost China millions of lives and there is no way the country can afford that. It was possible in the 20th century, but definitely not in the 21st century.

On the near side of Russia, there is a war going on but not on TV news. Azerbaijan vs Armenia. Pelosi also visited Azerbaijan after a massive attack on Armenia where almost 200 people I believe were dead. The war was also about the contested border region which is Nagornokaraba.

China vs Taiwan tension I guess is dying despite US ships passing thru Taiwan straight, China didn't engage.
If war erupts, Asia will really be disturbed. China has more influence and economic disaster will affect all its surroundings.

Hopefully that won't happen, the US and China should not make statements or actions that further stress Taiwan. China not only has great influence in Asia but it can be said, its influence is worldwide. Once war breaks out, the world will be plunged into a terrible crisis and possibly a third world war. I guess the US doesn't want that either because they are also having to strain their brains to deal with Russia, if China breaks out, they will be very distracted, which is not in their favor.  And North Korea, they don't like America very much.

so sometime i think this match can be Drow on 0-0 or 1-1 . But if any team wins then there will be more chances of Spain
The match is not gonna be a draw game from my point of view , one team is definitely going to win, but the question here should be whIch of them will win the match?, because both teams are very strong to win. Therefore, everything will ball down to being that the more tactical team is going to scale through and which I do hope that Spain wins in that game because of their tactics and their experiences when it comes to playing in such competition.

Switzerland has not won any of the last 5 meetings between Switzerland and Spain. Spain won 3 matches and drew 2 matches. But the interesting thing is that no team could score more than 1 goal in these 5 matches. Both teams tried to score points by playing defensively. So in today's match as well I guess the match will be a goalless draw or a 1-1 draw. However, Spain's midfield is very strong. If the forwards can play well with the midfielders then Spain has a chance to win. But I expect the match to be enjoyable.
2192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 24, 2022, 06:11:56 PM
It's too early to say that Mane's move was a mistake. Firstly, I see that many analysts have complaints about Nagelsman, and this is logical - if a team plays according to a scheme that does not correspond to the current line-up, then this is not the fault of the players in not the best results.
Its not always the fault of the coach when the players dosnt bring the performance on the field , mostly and in case of Bayern Munich i guess its lot of games they have now.
And also maybe the rotation in the team , the defenders also dont playing every game together and so comes some problems when they get under pressure.
Lets look what the German players doing today against Hungary.
But I think there is definitely some part of Nagelsmann's fault in the current results. Last year, Manchester City, playing without a clearly defined center forward, won the Premier League. With the departure of Lewandowski, Bayern found themselves in a similar situation and, judging by the results, the head coach has not yet been able to adapt the team to new realities. Bayern have a great line-up, they just need to find an effective system of play.

Lewandowski has been with Bayern Munich for a long time. So Nagelsmann is yet to stabilize the team due to his sudden departure. But it is certainly Nagelsmann's fault that he did not produce a worthy replacement for Lewandowski. If he had found a suitable replacement for Lewandowski, Bayern Munich's performance would not have been so unstable.
Sadio Mane will never be a worthy replacement for Lewandowski. Nagelsmann should now look for an experienced striker who can score goals regularly. Munich has a fantastic squad. But they lack experienced finishers.

I don't think is a disaster season for Chelsea because the season just started,and they still lot of talented players here, with a new coach who has prove in the premier League that he can play attractive and effective football seasons after season so we should still be optimistic about the season, they have players like thiago Silva, koulibaily, raheem sterling, Aubameyang, Recce James and jorginho who are world class players and can play in any team In the world so they can still turn this season to a positive one.
Every big team that experienced a slump at the start of the season, actually there is no need to worry about the results. Because the team still has more time to bounce back in the next few games like for example Chelsea for example, who still have a chance in four more games in the group stage and it would be great if in those four games Chelsea can win it even though it's not easy.
Yes, Chelsea will definitely improve higher in their remaining matches because is too early to conclude that Chelsea will not achieve anything from this tournament. If Chelsea coach can allow those players that have strength to play in the first half, so that they will have enough strength to reduce their opponent strengths so that in the second half their will be enough opportunity for them to score many goals that will make their points to increase. I think, Chelsea strikers are fully ready to make the fans happy in their remaining matches, because they will like to do somethings good that will make the world to believe them in this season.
It is still too early for Chelsea if it is about the Premier League. But in the Champions League, there isn't an ample of time left. The outcome of their game with Milan early next month is of high importance. If they will lose to Milan, they are done in CL. But if they can hold Milan into a draw at Stamford Bridge, things will be different as they are suited to win over Dinamo and RB. I guess there is 65% chance for Chelsea to vie a spot for the next rounds. 

Chelsea still has a chance to qualify for the next round if they can return to form in the next match and manage to pick up points against AC Milan. They should get the full 3 points in home matches. If they lose this match I'd say they should give up on their dreams of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League and focus on the Premier League. Because even though Dinamo and Salzburg teams seem a bit weak, Chelsea cannot win against these teams if they do not perform well. Chelsea will probably be able to share the points with these two opponents but will need to settle down and play well if they want to secure the full 3 points.

Tottenham is indeed a good team, with their performance in the premiere league if care is not tsken they may become the end of Arsenal even as Arsenal have played great football this season, but even at that we can't guarantee their steady winning as they face stronger teams.
Proving Arsenal this season when faced with a big team, Arsenal's defeat of Manchester United broke the positive assumptions on Arsenal. The match against Tottenham became the second test for Arsenal after receiving its first defeat to Manchester United, Tottenham's performance which continues to improve under Antonio Conte's control is a big test for Arsenal. If Arteta is not able to collect points against Tottenham, they will slip from their position as the leader of the standings.

Tottenham is in their best form right now. So far the team has only depended on Harry Kane's performance. But in the last match Heung Min Son made us realize that he is back in form. He was able to score three goals. If both Kane and Son are in form, it will be very difficult for any strong team to win against Tottenham. But Arsenal is also in good form. Their players are confident enough. And this is Arsenal's home match. So Arsenal will try their best to please the fans and not lose points.

The transition is very natural because after their golden era a few seasons ago, they still haven't been able to lift their form and now is a good opportunity. With Xavi as an interpreter at Barcelona, accompanied by some great players there, it is clear that this can be a barrier for Madrid.
Even though Madrid can still win, the odds are now about the competition getting tougher than last season.
The transition is amazing and good for Barcelona. Xavi has shown to us that he is truly a legend of Barcelona. He is also a good manager, amidst financial crisis rumours, he was able to get one of the best signings in the transfer window and still managing the players while some are receiving pay cuts.
Barcelona is ready and fit to compete for the title and they have always been strong contenders apart from last season that they had some problems. The players chemistry has improved so much aswell.
Back then, there were a lot of rumors regarding of the financial burden that wasn't good for Barcelona's reputation. Lot of media sensation news about that topic that even I've some doubt about Barcelona's future and upcoming performance in the La Liga season. But somehow, all got sorted out and now Barcelona club has a very bright future this season. And not just La Liga but also in the Champion League. Have to give credit to Xavi and his keenness in choosing which players are the best for Barcelona's playstyle and stats.

Barcelona's financial crisis is not yet resolved. They borrowed a lot of money and sold shares. Its bad effects will be seen in the future.
However, the Barcelona management managed to resolve the conflict over wages with the players. But if Barcelona can win the Champions League and La Liga two titles, then maybe their financial crisis will be able to be solved to a large extent. Barcelona has a strong squad this season. Players are playing well. The bond between them is quite strong. Now if Xavi can keep the match strategy right then maybe Barcelona will be able to win the title.

You are right,Roma will fight it very hard to win this match,I know Jose Morinho was so disappointed in their last outing,where Atalanta won them,but I think they will want to do everything possible to win this game.Normally Morinho loves a defensive pattern of football,so we'll be pretty fair if we say Roma are more solid defensively than Milan,but the game will be tough because Milan will not let Roma win them just like that,they must try everything possible to either win or draw too.
Roma's chance of winning is still there in this big match considering that Inter's condition is not good now and Inzaghi is now in almost the same position as Allegri who is unable to sit still because of the results he has achieved so far.
The defeat against Atalanta must be used as a reference for them to rise again now because with that they can become more confident.

Among the renowned and big teams in Serie A, the weakest and most unstable performance is that of Inter Milan. Out of 7 matches, Inter Milan won 4 matches and lost 3 matches. They lost against Udinese, Milan and Lazio. And Inter Milan has been able to win against relatively weaker teams. In the next match, their opponent Roma is not a weak team. Inter Milan will definitely need to get back on track against Roma if they want to win. And of course, the defense needs to be strengthened. Inter won't be able to get 3 points against Roma if the defense is weak.

Is there anyone buying right now because they think we probably will not go much lower and don't want to miss out at these low prices?

I am not talking about people who are averaging down or doing their weekly small bitcoin purchases, I am talking about people who are actually converting their cash into serious bitcoin holdings, or increasing their bitcoin holdings by a large amount.



As a seasoned or professional investor, no one will take the time to figure out what is the lowest price and what is the highest price, because they know it's impossible. Once bitcoin price drops below 50% or 70% it will be a good time to start shopping and no one buys a large amount of bitcoins at once they will always implement the DCA strategy.

There are still some people who wait to buy in bulk once, because they are confident in their analysis, but this is not a wise strategy because the market is very unpredictable. You see even big whales buy using DCA strategy, as MicroStrategy recently announced to buy more bitcoin at $19.8k, shows that no one dares to assert anything in this market.

It seems that real madrid and barcelona are unbeatable in laliga and i dont see any team able to beat them at the moment a perfect score for real madrid and only two points lost for barcelona it seems that we will have to wait for the classico which is close by the way to maybe see one of them lose, this will make the classico even better and anticipated by football fans.
Barcelona this season is much better than last season. because now we see the difference in points is so thin between Barcelona and Real madrid. last season the difference in points was slightly more for Real Madrid's advantage. These two clubs can always maintain the team's performance in every match so that they can compete with the maximum. Even Real Madrid remain strong should Benzema be injured. This shows that Real Madrid's strength doesn't just rely on Benzema. and now in barcelona there has been a goalscoring machine, namely Robert Lewandowski. which makes Barcelona even more brilliant this season. I look forward to the meeting between these two teams.

It is really not certain whether Barcelona will be able to dominate El Clasico for quite some time to come.
Yes, they are going to make a really good competition with Real Madrid in the coming match. However, I am not so sure about dominating the match.

Fixture saying next EL Clasico is going to be held at Santiago Bernabeu on the 16th of October. Barcelona is going to have a really tough time in this match since this is going to be an away match for them. The fact that both Barcelona and Real Madrid are in such good form right now is pretty obvious. Nevertheless, I would say that Real Madrid will be able to win this game due to the fact that they have a more balanced team than Barcelona does right now.

You can be a great MMA fighter without top boxing skills, Khabib did great for years before he improved a lot in that area.
MMA can be better because it combines other combat sports, but some people don't like wrestling or grappling and find it boring.
Spoiled crowd only likes to see blood and KO's but you can't have that all the time.
MMA is the leading fighting sport in the world. If you have anything like if you are proficient at boxing you have a very good chance in MMA. If you are proficient at wrestling you also have a very reasonable chance in MMA. Just like this, Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Kickboxing, if you are proficient at anything you can be an MMA fighter. Obviously, this doesn't mean you will be one of the best but think about it like this- if you know how to box you cannot proceed to a Kickboxing competition and vice versa. But MMA is the home of every fighter in the world.


Guys, check out Israel Adesanya's great trailer for fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 281.
I can't wait to watch this fight, this has potential to be one of the best comeback stories and best fights of the year 2022.

In the Israel Adesanya vs Alex Pereira fight, I am willing to say that Israel Adesanya will have the upper hand. But it is going to be really interesting to see. Even though I say Israel Adesanya will have the Upper Hand, it is not a given because Alex Pereira is also a great fighter.

surprisingly, it was Atalanta and Udinese. last year they didn't show that good performance. they didn't perform consistently until the end of the season. last season was still dominated by Milan and Inter.
but this season Atalanta and Udinese seem to be playing good games. I hope they can perform more consistently until the end of the season. because their mistake last season was inconsistent.
Serie A this season is more interesting. Lots of surprises from unexpected matches. Juventus seems to have difficulties in their squad. but points in the standings have only a small difference between the teams. there's still a lot of drama that could happen.
About Atalanta since Gasperini arrived to this team on 2016 he has successfully changed Atalanta became one of the stable team in Serie A even without famous names although last season Atalanta has been slipped because finish at 8th position but before that Gasperini can bring this team finish at 3rd position on 3 seasons in a row so Atalanta isn't weak team anymore in Serie A so i am not surprising if this season they can compete in the top 4 but indeed the league is still far to ended and we will see their consistency whether they can managed their performance or not
Yes, Atalanta so far have performed so mighty.  Atalanta will of course be back to being the dark horse this season.  The right policy in the transfer market is the key for them to be able to make a good start in Serie A. Atalanta retain coach Gian Pierro Gasperini, although last season's results were not good enough.  But Gasperini got support in the transfer market, a number of key players were brought in.  Atalanta bought Ademola Lookman from RB Leipzig.  Then there's Ederson, Rasmus Hojlund, and Brandon Soppy.  Atalanta also made Jeremie Boga and Merih Demiral permanent.  The new players collaborated beautifully with old faces such as Teun Koopmeiners, Marten de Roon, and Ruslan Malinovsyi.  As a result, Atalanta appear solid and have never lost to date.

There is no doubt that Atalanta is playing really well at the moment. As of now, they do not even have a single loss to their name. That is certainly something to be proud of.

You know, their performance was below par last season. They finished 8th last season, which is certainly not a favorable sign. In this season, however, they have been able to get off to a really positive start. It is my belief that they will be able to continue the good work they have been doing. Consistency is the most important factor to keep in mind.

It is a real credit to Gasperini that Atalanta is doing so well under his leadership. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. I agree with you that Atalanta is looking like they are a really solid team right now. However, if they are not able to be consistent then they are not going to be able to achieve a successful result at the end of the season.
