Southampton beat Tottenham 3-2. And they deserve this win. The start of the season was not a good one for Tottenham. Kane was not in form. However, he has performed well in many matches. At the same time Son has been playing consistently well. But recently it seems they have lost form again. They have lost the last two matches and the performance was very poor. Southampton made a total of 23 shots, while Tottenham made just 8. Tottenham should now look for new attacking midfielder. They need more experienced players.

Another big matchup in this round of the tournament is Porto - Lazio of course. We should be watching a great rivalry between them in both games. It is not easy to predict which side is ahead here. Porto are really good in their domestic league now. But I can't say it for the European tournaments. They have been out of the Champions League group stage. However their group was really tough too. They should still be grateful for not being eliminated completely from the European tournaments for this season. And Lazio are doing a decent job in the Serie A. Their group stage performance here wasn't a very bad one also. I think both of the games will end by a close score and Lazio might eliminate them maybe.
From the results of the meeting between the two teams, Porto was more superior, from two meetings between the two teams in the UEFA league, Porto vs Lazio, once a draw and once again Porto won a landslide victory with a score of 4-1 in 2013, Lazio had just been bent by AC Milan in the Cup. Copa Italia, Lazio are now in 6th place in the standings, they are playing less consistently now, while Porto are still firmly at the top of the standings by collecting 59 points. when facing Lazio on the 18th meeting later, even though Porto have been left by their mainstay striker, Porto are still the favorites in this match.

Porto is now ruling the Primeira League. They are 6 points ahead of Sporting which is in the second place of the table. Out of 21 matches, only 2 matches have been drawn, no match has been lost. They have been able to maintain consistency this season. Lazio, on the other hand, are not weak but they are not consistent. They also lost 4-0 to AC Milan yesterday. So in Lazio vs Porto match I think Porto team is the favorite.

Cigarette addiction is one of the biggest problems in young society.  And from this smoking, they gradually became drug-addicted.
The situation is so bad now that even 12/13-year-olds children are getting addicted to smoking.

According to a survey, near about 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced each year.

Our young society is addicted to cigarettes thinking smartness, does not understand the consequences of cigarettes.

Cigarette is a slow poison. It kills slowly. Smokers don't realize how much they are hurting them by looking for a little pleasure. The nicotine in its smoke also harms people around smokers. Unbeknownst to them, they are harming everyone, including themselves.

A very difficult question is whether I believe in vaccines or not.
In fact, After the vaccination process, the incidence of coronavirus was greatly reduced.

But sadly, even after receiving the vaccine, my relative died of coronavirus.

Even after taking the two-dose vaccine, I myself became infected with COVID. In this case, I can't say I believe in 100%, But I appreciate the doctor's effort. Maybe we have to develop this vaccine more.

There is one thing we ought to understand here when it comes to religion and evil. One core characteristics of a Christian is forgiveness. The holy book teaches that you turn  the other chick when slapped on the other. A lot of persons would never do that.
When you look at the Jihades, they believe in persecution of unbelievers in their religion yet, you would be told that, Muslim is a religion of peace and of course it is. If you look at the 5 pillars of Muslim, there is no violence about it. Yet, these persons perpetuate these evil against there neighbours. He Christian did there's some century ago and called themselves Christian crusaders.
In essence, its subject to interpretation and as such, through religion, good or evil can be perpetuated. Depending on who is preaching and the hearts that is receiving.
I want to add a little more to your statement.  
I am not going to compare Christianity or the Muslim religion. All religions should be respected.
And you know, no religion is perfect. Errors in religion occur only when we become fanatical, and bigotry leads us to the worst.
A few days ago, I saw a twitter hashtag about "Babri Mosque" that some Hindus had gone to the Mosque and vandalized. their claim was that Mosque was their temple a long long time ago. Actually, such behavior is never supported by Hinduism. Not only Hinduism but also not by any religion.
Again I've seen the news that some fake Muslims had gone to the temples of Hindus and vandalized them. why fake? cause such behavior is never supported by Islam.
The motto of every religion is to establish peace. And the incident seen in the news does not mean worship of religion but crime by worshiping religion. Religion should be practiced from the heart by avoiding bigotry.

But the unfortunate thing is that besides bigotry, some people in our society have been committing crimes using religion, you know.
After committing any crime, they survive on the pretext of religion.

And priests of the mosque, churches & temples are most involved in this work, on whom we rely in devotion. they are just playing with people's faith.
Hopefully one day these problems will be removed and our society will be able to practice pure religion.
2626  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is marriage a kind of punishment? on: February 09, 2022, 08:07:29 PM
I am working on an article on relationships and marriages. In my part of the world marriage feels like punishment on the female gender. In the days of old as I learnt, it was the responsibility of the man to provide and protect the family but in today’s society, men relax and have the women do almost everything. I observed this most in Nigeria or African. women grow old faster once married. I take instances from my neighbours, family and the society. The man on any day wakes up, take his bath, dress up, eat and off to work if he has one. The woman is the cook, launder, housekeeper, nanny, hand lady, errand girl, cleaner, and she must be working etc. just name it and she must not complain, she must not be tired. For real this is happening don’t think am just assuming. I see it live. Why is it so? I once asked a man in this case, why he maltreats his wife like a slave and he said no reasonable man is allowed to do house chores or assist in anything. The work of the man is to bring money that’s all. Can this be true?  Will you like your sisters, daughters, neighbours, friend  be treated badly in the name of marriage? Let’s talk. No abuses or insult please. I need soul lifting contribution.
It would seem that in your country is kind of a social mandate for females to get married, so there will be cases, many cases, in which it can be considered a painful situation as it is not a choice that they can make and I assume that many times, they get little say on the choice.
It all comes to education and culture. If you think of Scandinavian and central European countries,  even most regions in Southern Europe, the roles are much more balanced. They key is allowing women to get educated and they will never accept a secondary role.

Let me make another point. You two can search on the internet and see the situation of India and Pakistan also China. There are many cases in these countries where a girl is married to someone much older than she is before she reaches the age of puberty.

They are forced to consent to the marriage and even if they do not consent, they are forced to marry, their potential future is ruined.

I'm not saying this happens to everyone or that marriage is a punishment for everyone. But a large section of the population suffers from it and marriage to these victimized girls is hell.
2627  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Vaccine Passports on: February 09, 2022, 07:57:35 PM
Who would have thought that this one virus could freeze the whole world?

The antidote is discovered after the coronavirus infection. It is mandatory for everyone to take this antidote. And the vaccine passport is a certificate of whether you are virus-free with two doses of the vaccine.

Personally, I like this concept. Because if you want to be safe, you must get vaccinated. And what is the proof that I have received the vaccine? The lockdown is weakening, the school and college are opening, and if anyone goes out without a vaccine, he or she will infect themselves and everyone around them. This vaccine passport is a safe haven to roam-free. Because if everyone gets vaccinated and everyone has a certificate, then there is no chance of spreading corona.

Of course, a large portion of people do not support vaccination and now vaccine passports. Superstition and the unknown fear of side effects is the reason for hating the vaccine. And since they can't get around without a vaccine passport, they think there's a conspiracy to divide the world through vaccine passports. How ridiculous thoughts!

To keep yourself and your family healthy, everyone needs to overcome prejudice and get vaccinated.
And It is hoped that the vaccine passport will bring a positive aspect.



No virus froze anything, corrupt politicians did shut down everything by misusing the PCR test. The scandemic only works with a "test".
It would be believable if one country is affected by corrupt politicians, But we've seen different parts of the world are affected by the COVID virus.
A major part of the population was affected, died and till now a vast population are suffering in sudden dyspnoea, asthma which are COVID symptoms.
2628  Economy / Economics / Re: Preparing for the future. on: February 08, 2022, 09:05:46 PM
My opinion on the way forward?
 -Upgrade your mindset and break free from the old mentality of "Finish School, Get a Job, and work yourself for a paycheck to retirement". If you have a great job, and it is what you love, I'm not against it, but for the sake of the future...you must arm yourself with knowledge and learn a high paying skill that has future prospectives if possible.

I am very disappointed with the current state of our society. One of the thoughts of everyone is ""Somehow after finishing the educational life and getting a good job, life is set"".

Everyone on the surface of this old thought. Are they gaining any knowledge at all? Not doing. 
Actually, these thoughts come from parents. In our society, our own will is not valued. Nobody asks me what I want to be or what I like about my work. Why should everyone be a doctor, engineer, banker?  When will we get out of this old thought?

Each of us should be interested in co-curricular activities. In addition to academic education, one should also bring out one's inner latent talent.
I've seen some extraordinary students who are capable to break the security and hacking govt website, they have extraordinary tech knowledge, but they are not getting appropriate opportunities to apply that.

I am not saying that there is no future for academic education and formal employment. The future is certainly there but technology is improving day by day. Our society is being enlightened in the light of science. And in this world of technology relying solely on academic education would be utter nonsense.

In the hope of getting a dream job, one should not only memorize the reading of the book but also give time to acquire the surrounding knowledge. Time should be given to different skill development. Which the future can give us the gift of a better life.

It is finally matchday and the attracting match for me is Burnley - Manchester United. There wouldn't be a big competition between these teams though. Manchester United should be able to defeat and destroy them without having much problem. They are in the competition for the fourth position in the standings right now. And the current fight is really fierce. They can be left behind so easily if they make a simple mistake. This is not a match that they have the luxury to make that mistake. Burnley are in poor condition and an easy prey for them.

I expect Manchester United to score at least 3 goals in this match. Fred and Greenwood will be in the squad for this match. Moreover, all the important players are now injury free. Brunley is the weakest team in the league. They should score at least 3 goals. If Manchester United have trouble scoring and winning this match too, I would say they don't deserve to be in the top 4 of the points table.
2630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 08, 2022, 10:19:21 AM
Finally, we have seen a move from Dortmund for their defense. They have officially signed Niklas Süle and it is a free transfer which is another great news for them. As Bayern Munich didn't extend his contract, he had six months left on his contract and was open to contract offers from other teams. Dortmund were the fastest club to do so. They have signed a 4-year deal with him. Süle was speculated to join some other teams in different leagues too but he is staying in the Bundesliga.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/done-deal-sule-joins-borussia-dortmund-8th-transfer-from-bayern-munich-to-bvb/view/news/399840

This is a good decision for Dortmund. They needed experienced defenders. They are behind Bayern Munich in the title fight only because of their weak defense. They may have scored a lot of goals, but they have conceded a lot of goals due to weak defense. They have conceded 36 goals in 21 matches. But now it remains to be seen how Niklas Süle will perform with the Dortmund team. Hopefully he will be able to adapt to the team very quickly.

Another thing I'm happy about is that Juventus' new signings made a great start in their first official game. Vlahovic scored in the first fifteen-minute period of the game and Zakaria also scored later in the game. Juventus won their Verona game 2-0 by their goals. This must be feeling awesome for not only the team but also the players. It is good that they are already adapting to the team. Maybe Vlahovic was already playing in the Serie A but it is still a new team for him in the end. Not many footballers can adapt to their teams that easy.

Looking at Dusan Vlahovic's performance, it seems that he has adapted easily to the team. This is because he already has experience playing in Serie A. If he had previously played for La Liga or any of the Premier League teams, he would have needed a lot of time to adjust to Juventus. However, it may have been a good decision for Juventus to sign Vlahovic. Dusan Vlahovic is a young player, he can serve the team for a long time.

Nigeria against Tunisia no one  thought that  Nigeria will loose that game ,normally Nigeria has good players than Tunisia,  so everyone were expecting something different.  Not knowing that the Tunisia guys have already studied the strategy of the Tunisia players, and they succeeded in trading Nigeria.
Nigeria started the AFCON match with good spirit but I was quite surprised to see that the team suddenly lost there eagle spirit of dominating and winning matches. No one ever thought that Nigeria would ever lost the match which the blame was on the goalkeeper to not be dexterous enough to save the country from one of their most important match.
I think the red card was the cause of the defects of the super eagles in the tournament. They underestimate the Tunisians and they pay for it.if they had meet a team like Egypt they would have won because they are household name they would have been more serious.

I totally agree with you. After their outstanding performance on the group stage, they considered the Tunisian team a weak opponent. And the Nigerian players were overconfident in this match. Players must be confident, but overconfidence is never good. And this is why Nigeria has been defeated.

Both are unstable and even though Atletico lost by Barcelona I think it's natural, because they are a team that is at least balanced this season. But about Manchester United, which even in its last match was just eliminated in the FA Cup by Middlesbrough and even Middlesbrough itself is a team that plays in the Championship and is also not part of the top 5 in the standings, of course it is a serious consideration too. Indeed, there is still time for this UCL match and they can still improve it, but for me personally Atletico are still the best in this case.

This match will be competitive. I have seen the performance of Manchester United in FA Cup. Their performance was very poor. There is a problem with their match strategy. They have a lot of problems to score, at the same time the defenders are not playing well. Atletico Madrid's performance on the other hand is irregular. They have not been able to play consistently well. However, they are often performing well. They will definitely try to win against Manchester United.
2634  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Son of Omicron is here. on: February 07, 2022, 02:07:30 PM
I don't think about fighting new virus variants by using vaccines. I am currently thinking of letting my body's immunity naturally fight the new variants of the coronavirus.

Certainly a logical approach considering there is no data on whether boosters would be effective against this new variant. And if this new variant is anything like Omicron, then we know it will cause a mild illness, if any illness at all, in the vast majority of people, vaccinated/previously immune or not. I would not fall for these sort of headlines. SARS-Cov-2 is endemic, and variants will originate and spread in perpetuity. At some point, it's pertinent to just get over it instead of pumping yourself full of vaccines every quarter because of the miniscule chance you end up in the hospital with a severe illness. These variants decrease in virulence over time, so even without being presented with any data, I'd be confident in saying it's unlikely this "Son of Omicron" is any more deadly than what we've seen before.

Cycle of fear and hysteria starts over again...

Actually, I have a soft corner that works for the Covid vaccine.

The reason may be, Life became unbearable because of the long lockdown, that soon after the invention of the vaccine we were released from the long lockdown and returned to normal life.

But this is also a serious matter, How long will we carry the vaccine like this?

One new wave after another is coming of covid. Vaccines are also being developed for these. In this way, if so many vaccines are taken, people will die not because of corona but because of various physical ailments. Now we badly need a permanent solution.

Last time Atletico Madrid conceded 4 goals was in 2012 by again prime Barcelona. Jordi Alba scored spectacular goal. Also I am impressed by Dani Alves performance. Gavi's performance was increased since Xavi became headcoach.

Which Barcelona player's performance in this match was bad? Barcelona has performed well as a team in this match. They did not rely on any particular player. All the players tried to play well from their place, only because of the good play as a team they were able to score 4 goals. But the midfield needs to be strengthened. There are few experienced players in Barcelona's midfield. Xavi will probably try to strengthen the midfield next season.

Big big one for Juventus and now they go face to face with Atalanta. If they win that as well they are in a pretty healthy situation regarding the champions League qualification. I guess that is there goal for this season. If they really make it to the top in the end, that would definitely be a miracle!
Is was an amazing match for Juventus. They played greatly, and won with 2 goals. Good enough, they are now in the top 4, and also 2 points ahead of Atalanta. I think they have to win more consistent in order to maintain their current position. Am quite sure they won't lose against Atalanta in their next match.
However, I have been observing Juventus lately, and their performance are quite impressive. They haven't lost so far in their last 7 matches. While, I don't think Juventus can be able to top the League. Although, they are likely to end this season in the top 4.

Juventus' win against Hellas Verona was not easy. Hellas Verona's players were mentally very confident after winning two matches in a row. However, Juventus' gameplay was excellent. They made fewer attacks, but each attack was very strong. A total of 11 shots were done by Juventus, 8 of the 11 shots were on target. Hellas Verona made 13 shots. But there was only 1 on target. Juventus are now the fourth team in the points table after winning this match.

it was an excellent game, but unfortunately my multi bet was totally lost, i can't believe i lost all games, in this senegal game i also lost a bet because they ended in a tie and with that i lost my bet. then I lost a bet on the Serie A games, then I lost a bet on the bundesliga game. this was definitely a bad weekend for me

Yesterday was a bad day for gamblers like us. My bet though was just to win Senegal. I won the bet. However, in the Bundesliga match between Dortmund and Leverkusen, I bet on a draw. I lost this bet. However, in La Liga, the match between Sevilla and Osasuna, my bet was in favor of Sevilla's victory. They shared the points. Favorite teams could not win, so we lost the bet.

Dortmund   2-5   Leverkusen
Leverkusen has continued their winning streak. They have won 3 matches in a row. They have no hope of winning the title. Bayern Munich dominate this season as well. However, if Leverkusen can maintain the continuity, they will be able to move to the second place in the table. They are only 5 points behind Dortmund.

Wolfsburg   4-1   Greuther Furth
Wolfsburg beat Greuther Furth 4-1 yesterday. After a long time we saw a good and powerful gameplay from Wolfsburg. They deserve to be in the top 5 of the table if they get back in the truck. Their squad is good enough.

The match between Beşiktaş and Antalyaspor was terrible. They are doing whatever it takes to prevent Beşiktaş from winning. In this match, they could have scored at least 3 goals and won, but the referees did not allow it.
Every year, Beşiktaş experiences these, when the team starts to play well, the referees find a way and cause the match to end with a different result.
We've seen unexpected results this week, with many teams not playing as well as they should have played

Besiktas deserves to win this match. But their fate was very bad. I think the referee is biased. Injustice has been done to Besiktas. Antalyaspor's performance was very poor. They only repelled Besiktas' attacks in this match. They were not able to make any strong attack. Antalyaspor is now in the relegation zone. They needed a draw in this match, and they were able to do it.

In recent days lots of bad news are hearing from usdt and what will be happen if the usdt is a scam,should i change other stable coin,any recomendation for the stable coin?
Personally, I find the USDT coin to be very stable. And believe various rumors that the coin will lose its credibility. I think these are just rumors to make people panic and drain their coins. For myself, I decided that the coin was both stable and continues to bring excellent income to its holders.
Actually, the issue of discrediting USDT is also experienced by other coins, not just stablecoins. But for myself this is a choice, believe it or not.
If USDT will lose its credibility it is very likely, because this issue makes people panic. To avoid what they don't want, they will definitely decide to switch to another stablecoin that they think is more secure, at least until this problem starts to go away.

Actually, USDT is backed by US dollar, the company claims that they reserve the actual dollar as collateral, but as far I know they also reserved the right to issue new coins if they want without giving any reason.

only for this reason I'm not used to USDT a lot, Most often I use Dai cause it is decentralized. and 2nd one is BUSD cause it confirms its credible form all of their issued token must be held into credible form, which is low risky.
