I didn't see anything special about Manchester United's game, they were just luckier because the Liverpool coach was too hasty in making substitutions. Basically, Liverpool had enough control of the match and they were even able to maintain their lead until the end of the second half before the equalizing goal occurred. So Klopp's mistake in rotating players gave United players more freedom and more confidence because they were able to force their opponents into extra time. So in my opinion it would be an exaggeration if that was the best game from the Red Devils.
In the world of football there is no such thing as luck, in my opinion this is the result of the Manchester United team's hard work with excellent passes which were then put to good use by the Manchester United players resulting in the winning goal for Manchester United. It's true that Liverpool played very well, but they played too hastily so they couldn't take advantage of all the opportunities they got when they were in the Manchester United goal. In my opinion, this is not the Liverpool coach's fault, in fact Kloop gave his squad a strategy that looks very good. It's just that Liverpool's defense is too focused on the front so they don't pay enough attention to their players from Manchester United.
Yes, Manchester United deserved this dramatic win. The reason is, the struggle of the Manchester United players and coaches has been maximal. Even though it is considered lucky, there is nothing wrong with it, because everyone's expectations are focused on Manchester United's poor performance in the Premier League. Making victory over Liverpool look very unlikely and tends to come down to luck. But that's okay, because I think luck is also part of football. The reason could be said to be lucky when Manchester United players were able to score a goal in the final minutes against Liverpool. So the important thing is that Manchester United proved strong determination combined with a strong mentality and added a little luck, in the end they managed to beat a strong team like Liverpool.

Investing in DCA method is a method of maximum savings, it is proven that the person who invests in this method has achieved great success. Because if the price of Bitcoin increases even if he invests regularly, the method controls the average price ratio. And while the price of Bitcoin is low, the average price controls two. So in whatever way you think this DCA method is the best, the more long-term Bitcoin holders there are, the more nearly everyone has had success using this method.
The DCA technique is indeed the simplest technique to apply in an investment (Bitcoin/Stocks). Because the DCA method basically makes it easier for us as investors to invest in bitcoin or other assets so that we are not too confused about determining at what price we will buy.
Therefore, DCA is very suitable for use in bitcoin investments over a very long period of time. Because buying bitcoin regularly at any price will generate profits in the future.

Apart from that, the DCA method will also be very suitable for beginner investors in bitcoin. Because as I discussed above, by using DCA we no longer need to be confused about the price of bitcoin when we want to invest. So basically those who have basic knowledge in investing will be very safe if they use the DCA method in their bitcoin investments.

However, in my personal opinion, the biggest challenge in using the DCA method lies in time. Because if we invest in bitcoin using the DCA method, it is certain that within 1-3 years we will not really feel any significant impact or results. For this reason, if someone wants to use the DCA method in investing in Bitcoin, don't forget to prepare very cold capital, a strong mentality, and patience which must also be strong. And most importantly, don't forget that from the start must have a definite goal (starting point, how much money you will invest in Bitcoin every week/month, and also the end point or target you want to achieve). If all of these things have been carried out well, I am sure Bitcoin investment using DCA will run more smoothly.
243  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: March 16, 2024, 04:04:13 AM
President Bukele's decision to switch into Bitcoin running economy has yielded results so far with Bitcoin hitting $73k and imagine the impact that this will have in their economy when Bitcoin must have reached the price of $100k and above, and we would have countries that didn't buy this idea initially begin to see reasons and the need to switch in their economy to tap into Bitcoin running Economy. President Bukele is a man with vision and saw the future and took such an imaginable decision for his country El salvador.
Yes, Nayib Bukele's decision to adopt bitcoin as currency in El Salvador and also use it as an investment asset is currently going well. Maybe currently El Salvador is being talked about a lot among bitcoin lovers. Because as we know, currently the price of bitcoin can be said to have experienced a fairly high increase. So it is certain that the Bitcoin investment made by the El Salvador government has generated profits (if sold at current prices).

However, I am sure that Nayib Bukele and his government have a bigger target than that. Because here we are talking about investment within a country, not individual investment. So you can be sure that the benchmark or sales target held by the El Salvador government will be much higher. At perhaps $100K, I think that's still too low for El Salvador to target. Additionally, if El Salvador sells its bitcoin assets now, or after the halving and or during the bull market. In my opinion, this sale could be said to be premature. Because as far as I know, El Salvador intends to invest in Bitcoin for the long term. So if you only hold it for 3-4 years, I don't think the investment can be called long term.

So in conclusion, even if the price of bitcoin reaches $100K, I don't think it will have a big impact on the people of El Salvador. Why,? because I'm sure the government of El Salvador will not sell its bitcoin at that price ($100K). However, for El Salvadorans who own bitcoin individually, it will definitely be very profitable for them, if bitcoin reaches a price of $100K.

In the last match played between Liverpool and Manchester City we saw how much Manchester City fought against Liverpool and Liverpool against Manchester City and in the end the result of the match was a draw. Manchester City and Liverpool are two strong teams in the English Premier League and when these strong teams enter the field as opponents, it goes without saying that the match will be tough competition. The performance of the match between Manchester City and Liverpool seems to show that Arsenal's performance needs to be improved. Arsenal are performing well but in the end they need to improve their performance to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool in the end.
Manchester City and Liverpool can be said to dominate and many say the two clubs are equally strong. But in my opinion, if I compare Manchester City and Liverpool from all aspects, I personally say Liverpool is superior. Why? The reason is, after I watched the match between Manchester City and Liverpool in the last few weeks, the final result of the match ended in a draw (1-1). At first glance, Manchester City and Liverpool appear to have equal strength, but in reality this is not the case. Because the important point that I can take from this match is in terms of the squad that Manchester City and Liverpool fielded. In midfield, Manchester City fielded their mainstay players from the early minutes. Like Halland and also De Bruyne. However, Liverpool had problems in this match because many of their players were injured. So it could be said that in the match against Man City, the squad that Liverpool fielded was not yet at its maximum strength. Because Liverpool's mainstay striker is also M, Salah was introduced into the field midway through the second half of the match. The reason is, in that match, M. Salah's condition had not fully recovered.

However, what surprised me was that in that match Liverpool managed to dominate the match well, even though they had a less than optimal squad. Meanwhile, in this match, Manchester City played with a very optimal squad. So from here I can judge that Liverpool is indeed better than Manchester City. Because, even though Liverpool's squad is not good, Manchester City still can't beat them. Especially if, for example, Liverpool plays with a complete and optimal squad. I'm sure Liverpool will definitely beat Manchester City convincingly. And regarding Arsenal, in my opinion so far their performance can be said to be very stable. So to be able to continue to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal must continue to maintain good consistency.

To me I really don't think that is the case here, as Liverpool is now, they are a top side, wether injuries or not, any players being that is on the field of play will want to give it all especially an opponent like Manchester city, a direct rival for the title, so it doesn't matter if most of the first eleven players were injuired, or not,  what will be very common among the lads is the motivation, because they don't need to be motivated against an opponent like Manchester city, the players would want to give their all regardless of who is on the field of play.

Another thing I have observed about this Manchester city side is that they are not as good as they where last season, because if you look at their records and statistics this season, it's only Manchester united they have won, among the top teams, unlike last season that they they beat almost all the top teams, so I think they have declined a little bit compared to last season, but as now and this season, Liverpool team is actually more equipped than they were last season, and I think they can go all the way.
If we talk about all the players that Liverpool has, I completely agree with your assumption. The reason is that all Liverpool players definitely want their team to win and of course will fight as hard as they can to make it happen.

However, you need to note that what I am discussing here is about the performance of the Liverpool team. So if you assume that the first team and second team (reserves) at Liverpool have the same performance, in my opinion that assumption is a little wrong. Because of course there is a striking difference between the main players and the reserve players. The reason the Liverpool coach divided his players into two camps (main and reserve) was because of course these players had different qualities. Therefore, I say that Liverpool in the last few matches have performed less than optimally, because many of their main players have been injured. So basically the context I am discussing is not only focused on the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players. But the point is about the performance of Liverpool players.

And regarding Manchester City's situation this season, if you say there has been a decline, I also really agree. Because this season, it could be said that Manchester City is having a little difficulty reaching the top of the standings in the English league. But apart from that, another factor that is making things difficult for Manchester City this season could be that many other teams in the Premier League have experienced an increase in performance. So with this, it is difficult for Manchester City to occupy the top position.

So in conclusion, Al Nasr's failure was not entirely Ronaldo's fault. However, this is because Al Nasr's current players are not ideal.
Maybe next season this problem can be resolved by Al Nasr. Because if this is handled well, I am sure Al Nasr will be at the top of Asia. Apart from that, I really want to see Ronaldo succeed with his last club, before he retires.
Of course the failure of a team is the failure of all the players in that team but because Ronaldo is always the center of praise if Al-Nassr wins so it is quite understandable when there is criticism of him because this team still failed to win the title in its second season of his presence, I mean praise and criticism are things that must be accepted by anyone, including Ronaldo.
However, I agree that their defense line is very weak and is inversely proportional to the front line so there is visible inequality, the number of goals conceded by Al-Nassr is even more than the Al-Ahli team which is in a position below them, in fact almost 3x the number of goals conceded by Al-Hilal team
How do they improve their defense? Of course, the club's coaching staff knows best, and buying good defensive players will help them to perform better next season
It is true,for players like Ronaldo, criticism and praise have become commonplace for him. Moreover, Ronaldo has a big name on the world football scene. So Ronaldo's failure or victory will indeed be very hotly discussed by football fans. Starting from supporters (Fans) to those who blaspheme (Haters).
But Ronaldo must be very used to all of that. Because of his wealth of experience in the world of football, there is no need to doubt his mentality.

So it's the same as Ronaldo's current failure at Al Nasr. Ronaldo has defended Al Nasr for almost two seasons. However, as you said, until now Ronaldo has not been able to contribute good achievements to Al Nasr. Even in the SPL, Ronaldo has not been able to bring Al Nasr to the top of the standings. So it is very natural for Al Nasr supporters and football observers like us to question all the causes of this failure.

But even so, Ronaldo still has a very long time at Al Nasr. Because as far as I know, Ronaldo has a fairly long contract with Al Nasr. In fact, according to rumors circulating, Al Nasr will be the last club Ronaldo will play for before retiring. So in essence, Ronaldo still has a lot of time to be able to provide achievements or trophies for Al Nasr. And hopefully next season Ronaldo can give Al Nasr a very valuable trophy. Be it the Asian Champions League trophy or the domestic league trophy. So for Ronaldo fans, don't be discouraged first.

Well, it seems to be the hardest match to watch this week.
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona

In fact, both of them also entered the UCL quarter-finals. Of course, both of them have very passionate motivation and enthusiasm, at least to prove who is the best between the two.

~Snip
Yes, this match will definitely be very tense. The reason is that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have the same goal. Both in the domestic league (Laliga) and in the Champions League (UCL). In Laliga this season, both of them will definitely compete to be at least in the top 4 of the league, because this is a way to get tickets to play again in the Champions League. Then in the Champions League, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will definitely want to achieve good results too. The reason is that it cannot be denied, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid's biggest hope of winning a trophy is in the Champions League (UCL). So, the competition between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will indeed be very tight at the end of this season.

Apart from that, for the Barcelona VS Atletico Madrid match (in Laliga) I also think the result will never be a draw. The reason is that a draw is not the target of both clubs. So there will definitely be one club that wins. And according to my predictions for this match, Barcelona will most likely win the match. Because if you look at the Head to Head record from the 5 meetings between the two teams. As a result, Barcelona was superior. Because of the last 5 meetings between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid only won one win and that happened several years ago. So that way I will be very optimistic about betting on Barcelona in betting on this match.

People blast Ronaldo for every poor performance but don’t seem to notice Benzema poor performance.
It is wrong if Ronaldo played badly in this season. He is the top scorer, it simply described that he already played well. If Al Nassr failed to lead SPL, it is because Al Nassr has weak defense. People can't blame Ronaldo!



Sholynationsports



People are looking for places to blame Ronaldo. The reason why Al Nassr was not successful is that it did not form a balanced team like Al-Hilal. I think Ronaldo fulfills his duty adequately. Isn't this guy the top scorer in this league? I think the last thing that needs to be discussed is Ronaldo's contribution to the team.

Some people feel like every team Ronaldo plays for should be first in the league, friends, this game is a team game, it is impossible for a single person to win the entire team.
It would be wrong if Al Nasr's failure in the Saudi Arabian Domestic League or Asian Champions League was blamed entirely on Ronaldo. Because this is unfair to Ronaldo, because as we discussed, Ronaldo actually played very well at Al Nasr. However, the main obstacle to Al Nasr's failure to date is the uneven quality of its players. Until now, this is what I believe is the main cause of Al Nasr's failure. Because if we remember again, Al Nasr does have a good attack line, because Al Nasr's attack line is filled with great players such as Ronaldo, Talisca and Sadio Mane. So in every match we can see Al Nasr always scoring goals. However, because Al Nasr's back line is still very weak, in most of the matches Al Nasr always concedes. Even though the opponent is a weak team, Al Nasr often concedes goals. Because of that factor, Al Nasr have failed like now (especially in the ACL).

So in conclusion, Al Nasr's failure was not entirely Ronaldo's fault. However, this is because Al Nasr's current players are not ideal.
Maybe next season this problem can be resolved by Al Nasr. Because if this is handled well, I am sure Al Nasr will be at the top of Asia. Apart from that, I really want to see Ronaldo succeed with his last club, before he retires.
249  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $100k before halviing. What is your exit strategy? on: March 14, 2024, 04:55:33 AM
Bitcoin is rising upwards in terms of price continuously. Many are predicting that it will reach $100k before halving. In case that happens, do you plan to exit at that price level because of possible correction at that levels ? What is your exit strategy  with bitcoin once it reaches $100k?
In my personal opinion, the price of bitcoin will not reach $100k before the bitcoin halving occurs. Maybe the maximum price of bitcoin is only $80k (Before bitcoin halved). So it's possible that bitcoin could reach $100k, but in my opinion, when the bull market arrives. Because I saw bitcoin reach its peak price in the halving and bullish market cycle in 2020. In that year bitcoin reached its highest price when the bitcoin halving had occurred and when the bullish market was running. So the current cycle will certainly not be much different from what happened in the previous cycle.
Therefore, currently I am still very calm in holding the bitcoins that I own. Although Bitcoin's ATH has now been exceeded, I believe Bitcoin's ATH at this stage will exceed the current price. So why panic sell? better to continue making purchases (DCA).

And if, for example, before the bitcoin halving happened, the price of bitcoin had touched $100k, I would personally probably sell a little bit of bitcoin to make a profit. Because if this really happens, it is likely that the correction will be very deep. But once again I remind you, that it is slightly impossible for the price of bitcoin to reach $100k before the bitcoin halving occurs.
250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 14, 2024, 04:28:51 AM
Last season several clubs from Serie A managed to advance further in the UCL. Like AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan. Even Inter Milan was able to reach the final. But this season seems to be the worst season for Italian clubs participating in the UCL. because now there are no Italian clubs that have qualified for the quarter-finals. Today Inter Milan also failed after losing on penalties to Atletico Madrid. Even though the biggest hope for representatives from Serie A is Inter Milan.

But with this, all teams from Serie A can focus their clubs on competing more fiercely in Serie A. Because the UCL is over for them. Inter Milan just have to maintain their position at the top. Meanwhile, Napoli have to work hard to improve their ranking in the standings.
Yes, I was also very surprised because all the Italian League clubs taking part in the Champions League this year experienced defeat. Even Inter Milan, which has the best performance in Serie A, also lost to Atletico Madrid, which is only ranked 4th in La Liga, which was really beyond my predictions. Because before the match started, I felt that Inter Milan was capable of winning the match against Atletico Madrid. Because I always follow Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid matches in their respective leagues. And in my opinion, Inter Milan is indeed superior to Atletico Madrid. That's why I really believe that Inter Milan can definitely beat Atletico Madrid and qualify for the top 8 of the UCL. But in fact all my assumptions turned out to be wrong and Inter Milan had to suffer a dramatic defeat in the penalty shootout. So with Inter Milan's defeat, currently the clubs that have qualified for the top 8 of the UCL are dominated by Laliga clubs and not a single club from Serie A has qualified.

So currently clubs in Serie A have no other competition apart from the domestic league. However, the competition in Serie A at the end of this season will be even fiercer. Although basically the one with the greatest potential to win the Scudetto is Inter Milan, the competition for second to fourth positions can still be occupied by other clubs in Serie A.

And if we talk about Napoli, they are currently ranked 7th, 3 points different from Atalanta who is ranked 6th and 4 points different from AS Roma who is ranked 5th. So in my opinion this season Napoli will have difficulty reaching the top 4 in Serie A The reason is that Napoli's performance this season has dropped drastically and is not like last season. Apart from that, in this week's match, Napoli will also face Inter Milan, which will certainly make it very difficult for Napoli to win. So this season I personally will not expect more from Napoli.

When Xavi decides to resign next season, the main concern is who will be the next successor. The financial difficulties experienced by the club certainly make it difficult for management to recruit a coach who has a big name and is skilled in leading Barcelona to win trophies next season. All new managers demand to get a budget so they can recruit the players they want.

However, Xavi deserves appreciation for his performance so far, and I do not consider him a failure this season. Not many coaches are willing to endure pressure, with limited abilities, and are required to win trophies every season. Luckily, Xavi has a close emotional relationship with the club, he has unleashed all his potential.

~Snip
Yes, I agree with your opinion friend. Because, it is not easy for a coach to develop a team that is experiencing financial problems like Barcelona. So far, Xavi can be said to be a coach who has a very strong mentality. The reason is, when Barcelona experienced a decline in performance this season, many Barcelona fans actually criticized Xavi. In fact, this was not entirely Xavi's fault, but was caused by Barcelona's financial condition. But what amazes me about Xavi is that he remains patient in facing everything that comes his way. So it will definitely be very difficult for Barcelona to have a coach like Xavi again.

And when it comes to who will replace Xavi in ​​the Barcelona coaching chair, I don't think Barcelona will get a new coach who has a big name. However, I hope that even though Barcelona cannot recruit an expensive coach who has a big name in the world of football. However, Barcelona is expected to get a quality coach who, most importantly, is suitable for all Barcelona players and also at a cheaper price. Because in my personal opinion, if a coach on a football team does not get along with his players, then the results will definitely not be good, even though the coach has a big name and good qualities.

Well, if for example Liverpool can sweep the next two matches, especially with a landslide score. It is very likely that Liverpool will return to the top position in the Premier League. The reason is that currently it is easier for Liverpool to take the top position from Arsenal than Manchester City. Because Liverpool have the same points as Arsenal and only lose in goal productivity.

Liverpool will be without Moh Salah. He's got a hamstring, I even read that he won't be included in this month's internationals. Even Liverpool continue to communicate with Egypt so that they do not include Salah. At first Egypt wanted to keep calling Salah, but they softened not to take him. Egypt will play New Zealand. But it seems that it doesn't matter, I think they will still be favourites to win. They need to get 3 points every game for them to stay on track for the EPL champions.
If M. Salah is still injured and unable to play, this will indeed have a very bad impact on Liverpool. Moreover, currently Liverpool has a match schedule not only in the Premier League. But in the European League and also the FA Cup. So what is certain is that Salah will be really needed in this match. However, unfortunately the hamstring injury he suffered seems to take a little longer to recover as before. But even so, I think the matches scheduled for the next few weeks for Liverpool will definitely be handled well by the existing players. Because fortunately Liverpool has an even quality of players. So when many of their players are injured, Liverpool still has a lot of strategy with their second line players.

Therefore, even without M, Salah, I will remain optimistic about Liverpool. Especially in the coming weeks in the English league, the opponents can be said to not be too tough. So I'm sure Liverpool can definitely win it.



And for Liverpool's match schedule in the European League, they will continue with the second leg against Sparta Praha. Actually, in this match Liverpool doesn't need to worry. Because on aggregate Liverpool are far ahead of Sparta Praha (5-1). So in tomorrow's match, I think Liverpool will definitely increase their advantage.

I think Benzema is lucky to not being taget much more in media for his bad performance and behavior towards the team and the coach, i think the only player who comes from the west and do much worse than him and also comeback to the west was Jordan Henderson.

After this two guys all the remain ones are doing quite well or regular. Well we can maybe talk about Neymar also but that is also another story because he is injury and not performing bad.
Maybe now many people are tired of paying attention to Benzema. The reason is that almost a season has passed, Benzema has not shown his best performance at Al Ittihad. The reasons may be many, such as not getting along with the coach or not having suitable teammates at Al Ittihad. But for now, Benzema is no longer as noticed as before. I think this is a good move that will have a positive impact on Benzema. Because with fewer insults towards Benzema, Benzema's mentality will definitely improve and that way Benzema can rise from his downturn. But if, for example, Benzema doesn't show his best performance, I think the option that Benzema should choose is to leave Al Ittihad. Because if for example Benzema continues to stay at Al Ittihad with poor performance, I think his name in the world of football will continue to be tarnished. So before that happens, I think it would be better if Benzema left Al Ittihad.

And talking about Jordan Henderson and also Neymar. I think these two players are different from Benzema's current situation. Because, for example, Henderson decided to leave Al Etiffaq, it was all because his family was not comfortable with the environment in Saudi Arabia. So in my opinion the reason Henderson performed less than optimally at Al Ettifaq was most likely due to the pressure he received from his wife and children. Apart from that, for Neymar, it is clear that he suffered an injury while defending his country while playing with Uruguay. So at this time we cannot conclude whether Neymar has good or bad performance. The reason is, Neymar only appeared a few times with Al Hilal.

It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?
If this really happened to me, maybe right then and there I would be in a quite confusing dilemma. Because if I choose 1 bitcoin without having to gamble it will be safer. Meanwhile, if I choose to receive 5 bitcoins by gambling, it might be a little risky. But the advantage, if I'm lucky, I can get more bitcoins. So I'm a little confused when it comes to deciding this.

But I already have the answer, namely I will choose 1 bitcoin without playing. Because I will not be a greedy person. Because if this really happened in my real life, I would definitely take the easiest path. Therefore, I chose to be given 1 bitcoin without having to gamble. Because what I understand from your question is that it refers to greedy and non-greedy attitudes. Because if I choose to be given 5 bitcoins to gamble, maybe I will be defeated by my greed and as a result I will lose in gambling.

Additionally, if I receive 1 bitcoin without playing, I am free to use that 1 bitcoin. So, for example, if I use a little Bitcoin to gamble, I will definitely be more confident and less afraid, because the capital used for gambling (BTC) is cold capital. So in conclusion, I choose to be given 1 bitcoin without gambling.

Lazio vs Udinese Yesterday match between two teams Udinese team won the match by scoring 2 goals. Lazio team did not perform well in this match due to which Lazio team lost this match. Udinese team player L. Lucca scored 1st goal in 47 minutes.O. Zarraga scored the 2nd goal in 51 minutes and N. Perez got red cards in 90+4 minutes. Lazio team players F. Thauvin and C. Immobile had poor performances due to which Lazio team could not score more than 1 goal.
Honestly, I am quite impressed with Udinese, because in several matches Udinese always surprises us all. For example, when Udinese beat Juventus. In the middle, I think everyone watching the match definitely thought Juventus would win. But in fact Udinese surprised us all by beating Juventus.

Then this time Udinese surprised us all again by successfully beating Lazio with a score of 2-1. Even though in that match Lazio managed to dominate and Lazio also got many opportunities, unfortunately many of these opportunities were wasted. It was all because Udinese's defense was so good that Lazio players had difficulty developing their attacks well. As a result, Lazio always lacks focus when Udinese counterattacks. That's why Lazio suffered defeat.

And talking about Udinese, I think this club has huge potential if it continues to be developed well. Maybe if next season Udinese buys very good forward players, I think Udinese will be able to compete even better in Serie A. Apart from that, in the next match Udinese will face Torino, I think in that match Udinese can definitely bring home another victory.

In my personal opinion, this week the team that is under the most pressure in the top 5 is Atletico Madrid. The reason is, Atletico Madrid will most likely have difficulty maintaining its position in 4th place. Even though Atletico Madrid is playing at home, Atletico Madrid will still be under enormous pressure if they lose to Barcelona. Therefore, I think Atletico Madrid will be under a lot of pressure this week compared to the other 4 clubs.

Different from the other 4 clubs, for example Barcelona. If Barcelona is defeated by Atletico Madrid, then their position in 3rd place will not be shifted and Barcelona will still be safe competing for tickets to UEFA. Another example of a club is Girona, even though they lost to Getafe, Girona will definitely still be safe competing for tickets to UEFA. Because at best Girona will only drop to 3rd place. For this reason, other clubs in the top 5 of La Liga have a safer position compared to Atletico Madrid.

Because Atletico Madrid will definitely be very stressed, because in their match with Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid must win the match.

Arsenal should be very careful in their next match against Manchester City because Manchester City might transfer their aggression on Arsenal, and if Arsenal loose that match, their chance of winning the Premier League will reduce, while if they win the match, they will surely have the high chance of winning the League this season.
The match that Arsenal will face against Manchester City will indeed be a very decisive match. The reason is, whichever team wins the match has the opportunity to temporarily be at the top of the English league standings. But don't forget Liverpool, because in the next few weeks the club they will face will not be too tough. These clubs are Everton and Brighton.




Well, if for example Liverpool can sweep the next two matches, especially with a landslide score. It is very likely that Liverpool will return to the top position in the Premier League. The reason is that currently it is easier for Liverpool to take the top position from Arsenal than Manchester City. Because Liverpool have the same points as Arsenal and only lose in goal productivity.

Apart from that, in the Manchester City match against Arsenal, I personally feel that Arsenal will win the match. Because you need to remember that Arsenal previously beat Liverpool with a score of 3-1. So that way I think Arsenal will be able to beat Manchester City. Apart from that, Arsenal also won the match in their last meeting with Manchester City. So according to my predictions, Arsenal will most likely win the match against Manchester City, but with a narrow score.

Surviving is winning, every elite club will hold their ground and become promising. Bad news for Al Nassr to be knockout from the tournament they believed to reach finals, though there's new opportunities flowing in. Why is everyone surprised and also seeing Al Nassr trends on Twitter. They're elite team and that doesn't exclude them from the main race, they're been eliminated and this is huge loss for the Knights of Najd. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates suffered defeats, perhapes they will bounce back better in next game.
Yes, in future matches or in future competitions, Al Nasr must observe and learn from mistakes. The reason is that currently Al Nasr seems to have almost lost hope of winning trophies in all competitions. In the Asian Champions League, Al Nasr failed and only lasted until the quarter-finals. In the Domestic League (SPL), I think with Al Hilal's current toughness, Al Nasr will find it difficult to catch up. So it is very likely that Al Nasr will also fail to become the top of the Saudi Arabian Domestic League (SPL) standings. Perhaps Al Nasr's only hope of getting a trophy is in the Saudi Super Cup competition. Currently Al Nasr has entered the semifinals. However, Al Nasr's toughest challenge in the Saudi Super Cup is that the opponent Al Nasr has to face in the semifinals is Al Hilal.

So actually, if you look at their opponent (Al Hilal), the chances of Al Nasr winning are very slim. Because currently Al Nasr is in a bad condition. Therefore, it seems that this season will only be a learning experience for Al Nasr. That even though the players are great, if they are handled by an inappropriate coach, the results will not be good. Plus, the equal quality of players is very important in a club. Maybe next season Castro should be replaced as soon as possible. Because it seems like his abilities and strategies don't match the players from Al Nasr.

When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?
There are of course obvious reasons why gambling is prohibited in some religions. And all of this must be written clearly in the religious holy book.
But this time I will explain it from a religious point of view, but I will explain it from my personal point of view and from a logical point of view.

First, why is gambling prohibited in some religions? In my opinion, this is because gambling is synonymous with alcohol and women. Meanwhile, in some religions, drinking alcoholic beverages and playing with women (who are not wives) is prohibited. So in my opinion that is the first reason why gambling is prohibited by several religions.

Therefore, I personally like to gamble, but I really avoid playing with women (who are not my wife) and drinking alcohol. So I only gamble and don't fool around with women or drink alcohol. Because both of these things are indeed dangerous for health (logically).

Then the second reason, in some religions gambling is considered an activity that is prone to loss. This is indeed true, because when playing gambling there will definitely be wins and there will also be losses. But what can I conclude from this. In my opinion, the problem lies in a person's preparation or knowledge when gambling. Because what I experienced was when I gambled, and the capital I used was cold money and I had rules and limits for that capital. Until now I have always been able to control my gambling well.

So in essence, gambling can be detrimental if we cannot manage our finances/capital well. Meanwhile, from the past until now, many people are not good at managing their finances well when gambling. Therefore, logically, why some religions prohibit gambling (logically).

I really can't believe that Juventus should lose so many points and the chance to get the scudetto this season is gone. Juventus' poor performance in the last few matches is questionable even though in terms of readiness they have quite a lot of free time compared to other teams at the top of the standings.

Massimiliano Allegri should be able to identify problems in his team in advance, or perhaps he is having a dispute with his players in the dressing room. If that happens, it is quite worrying because there could be a chance that the old lady will be thrown out of the Champions League zone, which of course will be very detrimental to them.
I also felt there was something strange about Juventus. The reason is, the Juventus coach must be able to find the problem why his team often gets less than optimal results recently. However, until now Allegri does not seem to have found a bright spot for the problems currently plaguing Juventus. The reason is that in the previous match, Juventus was only able to bring home a draw against Atalanta. In Juventus' current situation, I think just getting a draw is very unsafe. The reason is that in positions 4 and 5 there are Bologna and AS Roma who will continue to struggle to continue to climb their rankings.

Especially with AS Roma whose performance is currently on the rise after changing coaches. So the point is that Juventus must be able to improve and improve its performance as soon as possible. Because, if not, Bologna or AS Roma could overtake Juventus. And don't let Juventus fail to win Champions League (UEFA) tickets again like last season.

Then talk about the possible causes of Juventus' decline in performance. Maybe there is a problem between the coach and the players at Juventus, that is the most reasonable possibility. Because it's strange that Juventus' performance to date has not improved. The reason is, a team like Juventus with an experienced coach like Allegri should be able to resolve problems like this more quickly. So the most reasonable possibility is that currently there is a dispute between the coach and the Juventus players. Which resulted in a decline in Juventus' performance.
