Today 6 matches will take place simultaneously in few minutes and in the 6 matches that have started there are 2 matches that are really interesting to watch or even bet on.
Firstly Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest and Newcastle vs Wolves, in the Liverpool match it is clear they will win because on paper Liverpool is much stronger team than Nottingham Forest.
By making Liverpool the favorite even in an away match, it can provide quite a big chance of winning, I think taking handicap bet while for Liverpool win itself is @1.56.
This will be an easy match because Liverpool can certainly win with big score, my prediction is 3 - 1 or 2 - 0 win for Liverpool.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle vs Wolves match will be quite fierce match which will make you interested in watching it because both of them have difference of 1 point and occupy positions 9 and 10.
In this match, it is clear that those who lose will definitely experience decline in standings, it is quite shame that Newcastle, which performed quite well last season, is now in condition where it is impossible to perform optimally.
Even though Liverpool dominated more, in the 40th minute, Liverpool were still unable to score a single goal against Nottingham. Then in another match, Newcastle took a 2-0 lead over Wolves, and the two goals were scored by Isak in the 14th minute and Gordon in the 33rd minute. Maybe in this first round Liverpool will still draw against Nottingham. Because what I saw was that Nottingham's defense looked quite tight and Liverpool's front players seemed to have a little difficulty penetrating it. Maybe in the second half Liverpool will change their strategy. Because if Liverpool don't change our strategy, I doubt Liverpool can score goals.

And for Newcastle, I think a 2 goal lead is quite safe. Because after these 2 goals were scored, the Newcastle players looked more confident and played more calmly.

Apart from that, in several other matches.

Half time
  • Tottenham VS Crystal Palace is still in the 0-0 position
  • Everton VS Westham is still in the 0-0 position
  • Fullham VS Brighton in Fullham's position winning with a score of 2-0
  • Brentford vs Chelsea,
    Chelsea is ahead with a score of 0-1

In my personal opinion, if Pogba is proven to have used doping, his appeal will most likely not be successful. But even so, hopefully Pogba's case will be a valuable lesson for other footballers not to use doping.
I think that by being officially sentenced to 4 years by the Italian football authorities, it is certain that Pogba has been proven to have used doping and it seems that Pogba's appeal has been rejected previously and is trying to appeal again to get rid of the case, Pogba did doping in August 2023 and if not wrong, before this case came out to the public, Pogba and Juventus actually tried to appeal, I think doping abuse in football will only damage the game because basically football is a sport that is healthy and upholds the values ​​of sportsmanship.

What Pogba has done is not something that should be imitated by other footballers, because even without doping, many footballers are able to play quite well and can even continue to achieve the highest levels of their careers so far such as Messi and Ronaldo, the shortcut to increasing stamina actually makes Pogba now have to end his career is faster and what's even funnier is that when I saw the news about this case, the response given by Pogba was as if he was shocked and as if he didn't know that doping was quite a serious violation for sports athletes all this time Grin.
Yes, when Pogba consumed doping, he seemed to forget that football is a sport that is healthy for the body. So according to my assumption, Pogba wants to take a shortcut to have strong physical stamina, so that when competing on the field he can be fitter. But the path Pogba took was the wrong path. Because basically there are many ways to strengthen stamina so that when competing on the field you can be stronger. Namely by exercising regularly and managing nutritional intake in a balanced way. Even though the results are not instant, choosing this path is the right thing and does not carry any risks. Because if you choose to consume doping, sooner or later you will definitely experience side effects. Whether it's from side effects on the body or also side effects from breaking the rules. And all of this has now happened to Pogba and Pogba will definitely not be able to get away from this case.

Maybe all Pogba can do now is regret and reflect on the mistakes he has made. Apart from that, it is true, on his social media account Pogba admitted that he did not know that the doping he consumed was prohibited in the world of football. Because, he said, the doping he consumed was in the form of supplements. But in my opinion, it is impossible for him not to know the rules in the world of football. The reason is, Pogba's work in the world of football was not short. Therefore, he definitely knows what is prohibited in the world of football, including the prohibition on consuming doping. So I guess he was just doing personal defense.

Do you have a sports that you keep betting on even though you don’t watch this sports live or you don’t know the full specifications of this game?

~Snip
Personally, I always do that sometimes. Because it will definitely take a lot of time if I have to watch all the sports matches, for example football, when I place a lot of bets on football matches. Because basically when we place a bet on a sports match, the main thing we have to do is analyze the team that we will choose as our choice in placing the bet. Then when we are sure about the team we have chosen, then the problem of watching the match becomes secondary. Because for a gambler, waiting for results is the main thing. Therefore, when I place bets on sports like football, I personally only watch the matches of teams that I really like and not all of them.

But if the context of your question is directed at sports betting where I place a bet on a sport I know nothing about, I usually don't do that. Because in my opinion the risk of loss is higher. Because as I said above, when placing a bet on a sport you definitely have to do an analysis first. So, for example, if I place a bet on a sport that I don't know and don't like, it will definitely be difficult to do the analysis. Because of course my knowledge about this sport is still zero. So in conclusion, I only place bets on sports that I know and i love.

I am not surprised by this result, Atletico Madrid has not been consistent throughout this season, so that when they meet a comparable opponent, the Atletico Madrid team is unable to develop its performance.

I admit that Athletic Bilbao this season has been quite extraordinary and their success in getting to the final is quite natural, now I think they will be quite close to the trophy this season.
but to be honest, the 4-0 aggregate result hit Atletico Madrid. It was unexpected even though Bilbao's chances of winning were quite big, but I didn't think it would be a landslide advantage over Atletico Madrid.
It seems like there is an opportunity for Bilbao to shift Atletico Madrid from the top 4 positions in the standings. Bilbao's performance is quite convincing at the moment and this is an extraordinary achievement after several years of only being in the middle of the La Liga standings.
This match caused me to experience gambling losses. Because in the match between Atletico Madrid and Bilbao, I personally chose Atletico Madrid in my bet. However, it turns out that Atletico Madrid suffered a crushing defeat against Bilbao.

So in this match what I saw was that Atletico Madrid actually had many opportunities to score goals. Because if you look at ball control, Atletico Madrid is superior to Bilbao. However, unfortunately the Atletico Madrid players on the front lines were unable to take advantage of this opportunity properly. So in essence, Atletico Madrid's attackers did not open up more space. The reason is that the Atletico Madrid players made a lot of passes but none of them resulted in a goal.

So with the results of this match, Bilbao will face Mallorca in the Coppa Del Rey final. Apart from that, I also feel that Bilbao can definitely beat Mallorca and win the Coppa Del Rey trophy.

And for this week's schedule, Bilbao will face Barcelona.

Even with Ivan Toney returning to the team, Brentford are still unable to turn the tide around as they have continue to lose crucial matches in the English Premier League and dropping closer to the relegation zone in the table. On the other hand, Chelsea are looking great in their performance lately and I think there is a very high chance for Brentford to suffer another loss against Chelsea in their next upcoming match.
It is true that with Brentford's current performance, it looks like Brentford will suffer another defeat when they face Chelsea. The reason is that in the last three matches Brentford in the Premier League has not been able to win.


So this is a picture of Brentford performing badly this season. But even so, if you look at the Head To Head record between Brentford and Chelsea, the result is that Brentford is far superior to Chelsea. The reason is that of the five matches that Brentford and Chelsea have played, the result is that Brentford was able to win 3 matches, draw 1 and lose 1. Meanwhile, Chelsea was only able to achieve 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat. So if you look at the Head To Head record, Brentford is indeed superior. However, judging from the current performance of the two teams, Chelsea is indeed superior to Brentford. So I personally think there could be surprises in this match. Because on the one hand, Brentford definitely doesn't want to experience defeat again, because they are approaching the relegation zone. And on the one hand, Chelsea also definitely wants to win to at least improve their current position in the English league (11th position). For this reason, I think the match between Chelsea and Brentford will definitely be very exciting.

Paul Pogba said on his X account that he is heartbroken to see everything he has built in his football career taken away. It is a pity that Paul Pogba's career will end in this way when he is supposed to enjoy his career by signing a big-money contract, maybe with any Saudi Arabia club or any club in Major League Soccer.
Today I also read quite viral news about Paul Pogba who had to end his career in football due to doping so he felt sad because of that. I was also surprised after reading the news because Paul Pogba should have still had time to continue his career in football if he had not been caught doping. However, this has been discovered and Paul Pogba must accept it gracefully even though he is in a sad condition and the Juventus team itself also really regrets this because Paul Pogba is also a very good player at Juventus.
Yes, it is very unfortunate that Paul Pogba has to experience the harsh reality at this time. I personally don't think why Pogba could use doping. Even though he already has extraordinary talent and stamina. So Pogba actually doesn't need to take doping drugs, which are reportedly testosterone, to increase his stamina. So with these facts, Pogba will reportedly be sentenced to a ban on playing (professional) football for 4 years. This will certainly be a disappointment and deep regret for Pogba. Because 4 years is not a short time. Apart from that, even if, for example, Pogba can return to playing football after 4 years, during that time there will not necessarily be a team that will want to recruit him. Because in essence his name in the world of football has now been tarnished. So if it is said that his professional career in the world of football is over, that could happen.

But from the news that I know, it is reported that Pogba will appeal the case against him.

Quote
The 30-year-old said he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport
Source: https://inforadar.disway.id/amp/664927/paul-pogba-terbukti-pakai-doping-dihukum-empat-tahun-larangan-bermain-untuk-juventus

In my personal opinion, if Pogba is proven to have used doping, his appeal will most likely not be successful. But even so, hopefully Pogba's case will be a valuable lesson for other footballers not to use doping.

Honestly, I was very surprised by this news and seeing that Ronaldo was not on the squad list against Al-Hazm, it is possible that the speculation circulating was true. I think it was a one match penalty in last night's match because as we saw there was no Ronaldo in that match but strangely there was no further confirmation from Al-Nassr regarding this issue. I know that punishment will always apply, including for star players like Ronaldo, but it is quite strange that just because Ronaldo's previous response could make the Saudi league lose its appeal.

I mean, if Ronaldo doesn't play, I think few people will want to watch the Al-Nassr match and streaming services will also suffer if the star doesn't play. But despite all that, fortunately the depth of the Al-Nassr squad is filled with other great players so that everything can still be resolved. Anyway, last night Al-Nassr failed to win after drawing 4-4 against Al-Hazm and to be honest it was a very close match and everyone was still fighting before the end of the game.
No one yet knows for sure why Ronaldo was not played in the match against Al Hazm. However, one of the most reasonable assumptions is that Ronaldo is now old enough so that in the match against Al Hazm, Ronaldo was rested to restore his stamina. I think this assumption is also reasonable. However, if you suspect that Ronaldo was sanctioned for making inappropriate movements when Al Nasr faced Al Shabab, that makes sense. The reason is that many news media wrote news articles about Ronaldo's actions when dealing with Al Shabab. So basically these two things are reasonable reasons in my personal opinion.

Apart from Ronaldo not playing against Al Hazm. I think this has a negative impact on Al Nasr. Because I personally think it is very inappropriate for a team like Al Nasr to be held to a draw by Al Hazm. Because if you look at Al Hazm's footsteps in the SPL this season, your performance could be said to be less than good. So Al Nasr should be able to win easily over Al Hazm. However, Al Nasr was unable to bring home the win due to the negligence of its defenders in the final minutes.

So by failing to bring home victory over Al Hazm, Al Nasr must be able to learn lessons from the match. Because what I have monitored so far, Al Nasr's defense line is still a little weak. So even when faced with weak teams, Al Nasr often always concedes. Therefore, in my opinion Al Nasr needs new players for the defender position so that Al Nasr's defense can be even better.
288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: February 29, 2024, 04:51:50 PM
I once read an article that Nayyib Bukele was firm in his stance on holding onto the Bitcoin he owned. With El Salvador's total Bitcoin ownership, when the Bitcoin price reached the current price of $60k, El Salvador's investment profits would have doubled.
He confirmed it on his Twitter/X account today that El Salvador will continue to hodl:

https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1762867369217532125
Of course he will continue his bitcoin hodl. He also said that El Salvador has no intention of selling bitcoins. After Twitter saw this message today it's sure to tell you how committed they are to the Bitcoin hodl. This tweet said Nayib Bukele was asked by Peter Schiff to sell them bitcoins. Then El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele told Peter Schiff to "cry harder".

~Snip
Although currently the price of bitcoin has increased very significantly. However, if the El Salvador government sells the bitcoin it has now, I don't think the profits obtained from bitcoin will necessarily be able to cover all the debt that El Salvador has. So selling bitcoin now I think is inappropriate for the government of El Salvador. So continuing to do Hodl is indeed the right step for El Salvador. Because apart from that, we have to remember what Nayib Bukele said when El Salvador first adopted bitcoin.

Quote
that the government will buy one Bitcoin every day for the foreseeable future.
Source: https://time.com/6236899/el-salvador-bukele-bitcoin-crash/

So it is clear the meaning or content contained in Nayib Bukele's words, that the El Salvador government will continue to make regular bitcoin purchases (DCA), without a specified time limit. Because I have read a lot of news about the adoption of bitcoin in El Salvador, but I have never found any news that says that the El Salvador government will sell bitcoin. So I can conclude that for now the main goal that Nayib Bukele and the government in El Salvador want to achieve in adopting bitcoin is simply to continue making purchases. Because as I said above, the current bitcoin sales will not have a big impact in El Salvador. Therefore, in my opinion, El Salvador definitely has a long-term bitcoin investment plan so that the bitcoin assets owned by the El Salvador government can be sufficient to overcome the problems that exist in El Salvador, such as debt.

I think the game from today can do a lot in mental health for the players of both teams implied, if Atletico Madrid ended up losing, they are gonna be in a shit condition for the weekend and also they are gonna save player for the Champions League match, and for Bilbao is the same Copa del REy is the main objetive , more now we know Mallorca is in the final a weak rival.
Yes, Atletico Madrid's match against Bilbao will definitely be very interesting. Because in this match, I don't think it's only Bilbao who has a strong desire to win the match and advance to the Coppa del Rey final. However, in my personal opinion, Atletico Madrid will definitely try their best to beat Bilbao in this match. Because Atletico Madrid definitely wants to advance to the Coppa del Rey final and win the trophy. The reason is that currently Atletico Madrid's position in both competitions (UEFA and Coppa Del Rey) is in the same position, namely losing on aggregate. So in this position you could say that Atletico Madrid will definitely maximize these two competitions as best as possible. Because if, for example, Atletico Madrid only focuses on the Champions League, it is not certain that Atletico Madrid can win against Inter in the second leg. Therefore, Atletico Madrid will definitely make good use of this opportunity to at least have a chance to win a trophy.

And for the match which will take place in a few hours, between Atletico Madrid and Bilbao. I think Bilbao will choose a defensive strategy in the first half and attack in the second half. The reason is that currently Bilbao have won 1-0 on aggregate over Atletico Madrid. So basically Bilbao will be calmer in this match. And for Atletico Madrid, it is certain that in the first and second half the strategy used was to attack. The reason is that Atletico Madrid needs a minimum of 1 goal to equalize the aggregate. So before Atletico Madrid can equalize the aggregate, it is certain that Atletico Madrid will continue to attack Bilbao's defense as much as possible.

And for this bet, for some reason I will choose Atletico Madrid even though Atletico Madrid is currently under pressure.

Before talking further about the Man United vs Liverpool match in the FA Cup in the middle of next season. I think we should first look at the results of the Man United vs Man City match this week. Because I think Man United's performance will be tested at the Etihad stadium by Man City who will host the match.

If the result is a draw, Man United is considered to be able to make things difficult for Liverpool in the FA Cup later. But if the result is that Man City wins easily then the Man United vs Liverpool match will not be much different in terms of results. But I'm sure Man City will win quite easily and also with quite a score. Because Haaland seems to have managed to find his confidence again.
It is true, Manchester United's match against Manchester City will certainly be the right benchmark to see the ability and quality of players that Manchester United has before competing with Liverpool in the FA Cup. The reason is, the performance of Manchester City and Liverpool players can be said to be not much different. The reason is that in the Premier League alone, Manchester City and Liverpool only have a very narrow point difference (1). So basically the performance of Manchester City and Liverpool is almost the same.

Apart from that, I also predict that the match between Manchester City and Manchester United will definitely be won easily by Manchester City. The reason is that in the last match between Manchester City and Manchester United, Manchester City achieved this result with a win. So, in this match, I don't think the result will be much different from the previous meeting.

Apart from that, in the Manchester United match against Nottingham in the FA Cup, I saw that the Manchester United players had a little difficulty in winning the match. Although in the end Manchester United were able to win with a score of 1-0 through Casemiro's goal in the final minutes. So from this match, I personally think that Manchester United really needs to improve the quality of its players. Because if this is not fixed by Ten Hag as Manchester United's coach, I think this will have a bad impact on Manchester United for the rest of this season.

Inter Milan's total points at the top of Italy's Serie A table are 69 points after they beat Atlanta yesterday. If not for that Atlanta goal that was canceled yesterday, your correct score prediction for the Inter Milan and Atlanta match would have been close. With the 4-0 win against Atlanta yesterday, Inter Milan is leading Juventus with 12 points.
And thanks to the gap that has now become 12 points over Juventus, Inter Milan can feel relieved while playing several more matches before winning the championship trophy this season. I wouldn't think that Juventus would be able to cover that much of a gap again from now on because it is almost impossible for Juventus to catch up this season. And in my opinion, Juventus being able to secure the runner-up position this season is extraordinary even though they didn't win a single trophy.

With only few goals scored in most games, I doubt Juventus could reduce the gap at the time we see Inter Milan knocking top teams like Atalanta by 4 goals to 0! Just to understand the difference of performance, AC Milan just got 1 point against Atalanta!
Inter Milan will obtain the scudetto for sure and Juventus have to maintain some distance from the others to have a chance to play in Champions League next season.

This season, Juventus' performance is not as good as Inter Milan's performance. Even if you look at the standings table, this season is indeed better than last season. However, when it comes to winning the Scudetto, I think Juventus' hopes are no longer high. Because if you look at Juventus' current situation, Juventus will find it very difficult to win the Scudetto this season. Because

  • Juventus has quite a big difference in points with Inter Milan, the leader of the standings
  • The performance of the players is also not good this season.

So even with these two points, it can be answered that Juventus' hopes of catching Inter Milan are very difficult. Because in the last few matches, Juventus couldn't even beat clubs that were ranked lower in Serie A. For example, when Juventus faced Udinese who were ranked 15th, in that match Juventus couldn't win but instead lost. Apart from that, when they played against Verona, who were ranked 17th, in that match Juventus were also unable to achieve a win but could only achieve a draw. And against Empoli who are ranked 13th, Juventus could only manage a draw.

So with Juventus' poor performance this season, I think it will be very difficult for Juventus to get the Scudetto.

Maybe because there are so many European players playing in the Saudi Arabian League, making the competition to become top scorer even more competitive. So in essence, in the remaining 9 matches this season for all teams in the SPL, Ronaldo's position as top scorer could be shifted or conversely Ronaldo will soar even higher to become top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League.
The Arab League continues to be in the spotlight because of the courage of Arab League clubs to buy players at fairly high prices,apart from Arab League clubs, I think currently there are no teams from other leagues who even dare to bid for old players like as crazy as the Arab teams do, there are so many former European players who play in the Arab league have now really made the Arab league very competitive, indeed previously there were several europa players who played in the Arab league but I think we don't really follow the development of the arab league because it is not the top 5 leagues in the world, but after Ronaldo decision Joining the Al Nassr club has certainly opened the world eyes to continue to follow developments in the current Arab League and it has been proven that Ronaldo popularity can be transmitted to the league in which he plays.

Currently, Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Arabian league with 22 goals, in second place is Alesandar Mitrovic with 19 goals, meanwhile, with only a difference of three goals, of course Mitrovic still has the opportunity to pursue the position as the top scorer, especially as it seems that currently Ronaldo has the potential to be punished from the Saudi Arabian league authorities after his bad behavior towards Al-Shahab fans when the match between Al-Nasr vs Al-Shahab took place, so far we can see that the names of players from Europe dominate the list of top scorers in the Arab league.
Yes, the breakthroughs made by clubs in Saudi Arabia are quite a highlight in the world of football. With the abundance of money that clubs in Saudi Arabia have, this breakthrough could be said to be quite successful. But even so, I also assume that the breakthrough success achieved by clubs in Saudi Arabia is thanks to Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasr. Because as you said, before Ronaldo joined Al Nasr, many Saudi Arabian League clubs had recruited football players from Europe. However, even so, this did not have a significant impact on the popularity of the Saudi Arabian League. However, when Ronaldo was recruited by Al Nasr, that's where the Arab League started to become known and that's where many football players from European clubs joined the Saudi Arabian League club. So in conclusion, Ronaldo was the one who started the fame of the Saudi Arabian League.

Talking about the competition for top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League, it is true that Mitrovic is the one who will definitely be Ronaldo's toughest rival to win the top scorer title. Because there is no doubt that Mitrovic's performance at Al Hilal was very good. But to be honest, at first I really doubted that Mitrovic could score many goals when he joined Al Hilal. The reason is that at that time Al Hilal also recruited Neymar. So I think Neymar will be the spearhead at Al Hilal. However, it turned out that Neymar was injured and in the end it was Mitrovic who became a superstar at Al Hilal.

And apart from that, if for example Ronaldo is really punished by the Saudi Arabian League (SPL), it is very likely that Mitrovic will become the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League. But hopefully Ronaldo will not receive punishment from the Saudi Arabian League. Because if Ronaldo is punished, the Saudi Arabian League will definitely be a little less interesting.

Gambling can be fun and also become a serious problem if not done appropriately. Alot of gambler get themselves into problem because they gamble anyhow and anytime. There are some times you should take a break in gambling so that you won't become an addict or give yourself problem. Time you shouldn't gamble includes:

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently
Some people gamble the most when they are in need of urgent money. They use the little in their account to gamble believe they can double the money in no time through gambling to do what they want to do. This most times go wrong making them to lose the little they should have save for that purpose

👉👉To regain back your loses
Pursuing loses in gambling make you lose more. So it better to have a break when you have lose alot. That period may not be your own lucky time to win. Taking a break can help you to avoid being addicted and also save you from losing more.

👉👉Under pressure or frustration
Gambling under pressure or frustration may make you go beyond your plan. It can also make you to make wrong decision from your bet. So it's better to do away with gambling during this period.

CONCLUSION
Gambling should be fun, it's better to stay away when it has started to become a problem.
I completely agree with the argument you explained. Because the three points you mentioned are a reality that often occurs among gamblers. So after I think more deeply about the characteristics of a gambler who has one of these three point habits, maybe from the start he is not a gambler who does not intend to gamble for fun. However, they only intend to make a profit. So you can be sure that gamblers who have intentions and habits like that will definitely not run smoothly. Because it is certain that gamblers who have a habit or intention of only seeking profit must have very big ambitions. However, this big ambition will actually become something that endangers him. Because when you lose at gambling you will definitely try your best to get money (capital) so you can gamble again. So in essence, gambling without the intention of entertainment is not good in my opinion. Because even though it is true that gambling does have a basis for multiplying money. However, in my opinion, this cannot be used as the main benchmark for gambling. But more precisely, I only consider the profits obtained from gambling as just a bonus. Because for me personally, the main benchmark in gambling is not just money, but what is more important is the fun.

But even so, people's thoughts and understanding of gambling definitely differ. So the arguments you give and my personal opinion will definitely not be agreed with by all gamblers.

Athletic Bilbao wasted a big chance the last time by the way. If they were able to beat Betis they were going to take the fourth position from Atletico Madrid. Because head-to-head games are taken into account first and Athletic Bilbao are ahead of Atletico Madrid about that. But Athletic Bilbao wasted this chance to equalize their points.  Sad

However I must admit Betis can be a really tough challenge. I was just not waiting for them to win by a score like 3-1. Athletic Bilbao defense had a terrible day. Next time Athletic Bilbao are going to face Barcelona as well so their job is going to be difficult once again. Athletic Bilbao couldn't beat them in the league for many years.
In that match, Bilbao had difficulty turning things around. Because with
The 2 goals scored by Betis in the first half will definitely make the Bilbao players a little stressed. Moreover, the second goal scored by Betis was a rebound from the Bilbao goalkeeper's hand which hit the body of Berchiche (Bilbao defender) which eventually went into the Bilbao goal. So it is certain that the pressure will be even more extra for the Bilbao players. Apart from that, one of the Bilbao players (Nico) received a red card so Bilbao lost one player. Which of course made Bilbao's line-up a little unbalanced, making it easier for Betis to dominate the match. So it is natural that in that match Bilbao lost to Betis. Because, with one less player, Bilbao has many gaps.

But even so, it was extraordinary that the Bilbao players were able to score one goal when the team was in a disadvantageous position.
But unfortunately Bilbao still couldn't avoid defeat against Betis.
So after I saw the match between Bilbao and Betis. It seems that if for example no Bilbao players had received red cards and there had been no own goals, I think Bilbao would probably have won the game.

And regarding the match that Bilbao will play in the next two weeks, it will indeed be tougher than facing Betis. The reason is that apart from facing Barcelona, ​​who is currently in third place, Bilbao will also face Atletico Madrid, who is currently in fourth place. So in the next two weeks, it will really be a tough challenge for Bilbao.

FA Cup become the only one opportunity left for Manchester United winning the trophy after gap many points in Premier League and I don't sure Erik ten Hag have enough compete to make miracle for domestic league winner. In Fa Cup 5th round, Manchester United has away match for facing Nottingham Forest, Erik ten Hag have to forget last match losses against Fulham and keep trying to win the left opportunity for getting trophy in this season.
Nottingham Forest performance still not consistent yet after losing last match in Premier League against Aston Villa and other side their position standings in domestic league left fewest points with relegation zone and likely FA Cup match against Manchester United will use their second players composition.
Yes, it is true that the FA Cup is the last and only choice for Manchester United to have the opportunity to win a trophy this season. So Ten Hag will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to get maximum results. Although basically Manchester United's chances of winning the FA Cup are not big if you look at their current performance. The reason is that in the last 8 of the FA Cup there is Liverpool, who are currently at the top of the Premier League standings. So if Manchester manages to reach the final or the FA Cup final, it is very likely that Manchester United will be defeated by Liverpool. Because I believe Liverpool can most likely qualify for the FA Cup final.

Then for the Manchester United match which will face Nottingham in this big round, Manchester United will most likely win. Because as you said, Nottingham is currently in danger of being relegated from the first division of the English league. So it is certain that the focus of the Nottingham players will definitely be divided into two and this will definitely result in Nottingham's performance in the match against Manchester United being less than optimal. So Manchester United has a very big chance of advancing to the semifinals of the FA Cup.

So the point is that in the match against Nottingham, Manchester United must be able to remember the playing style of the Nottingham players. Because in the previous match in the English league, Manchester United got a little insight when they lost to Nottingham. So in this match Manchester United should be able to win the match easily.

I also doubt whether Napoli can win the match against Sassuolo or not. Or more precisely, I doubt that their new coach, Francesso Calzona, can create a strategy that can make Napoli win. Unless Napoli have learned from the mistakes they made against Cagliari. Maybe they can play better against Sassuolo.

But betting on a draw also doesn't feel like the right thing. But I also doubt that Sassuolo can win against Napoli. Well, I'm confused about this match. Maybe I just have to hope that a miracle comes and makes Napoli win. That's why I might have to bet on Napoli even though I doubt them. Because betting on Sassuolo is much more dubious.
With the current condition of the team, no one favors Napoli and that's normal, especially since this match is played at Sassuolo, I don't think that Napoli will be able to win this match.
So I plan to bet on goal overs in this match, I see that Sassuolo is quite productive in scoring goals when playing at home so it is quite possible that there will be a lot of goals in this match, so I think it will be a good betting choice.
Indeed, this season Napoli's performance is not as brilliant as last season. So it is natural that this season Napoli are not often chosen or favored in every match. The reason is that of the 25 matches played by Napoli in Serie A, Napoli was only able to win 10 times. So it is clear that the consistency of performance of Napoli players this season is declining. But even so, for the match that Napoli will have against Sassuolo, I personally am very optimistic that I will choose Napoli. The reason is, even though this season Napoli is not performing well in terms of performance. However, if you face a team like Sassuolo, I think Osimhen and his friends will have no difficulty winning the match. Even though it is true that in the previous match Napoli was only able to achieve a draw with Cagliari, personally I think Napoli were just unlucky in that match. The reason is that in the match against Cagliari, Napoli had many very good opportunities, but unfortunately their final use was less than optimal.

So in the match against Sassuolo this time I am sure Napoli can definitely win the match.
The reason is that if you look at the Head to Head record between Napoli and Sassuolo, Napoli is superior by winning 4 matches out of 5 meetings and 1 meeting ended in a draw. So I wouldn't hesitate to bet on Napoli in this match.

It seems that currently Cristiano Ronaldo still holds the most goals this season and what I know is that Cristiano Ronaldo has bagged 22 goals and this is an extraordinary achievement achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo but what I know now is that Mitrovic has not scored the maximum number of goals because in his last match Al-hilal against Al-ettifaq Mitrovic did not score. and currently Mitrovic has only bagged 19 goals. However, in the Al-Nassr match against Al-Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal even though the goal was scored via a penalty.

What do you think, friends, whether Cristiano Ronaldo will win top scorer this season or not. In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo has great potential to win top scorer this season.

~Snip
If we talk about predictions, Ronaldo deserves to be the strongest candidate to become the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL). The reason is that with the goals he is currently scoring and his consistency in scoring goals in every match, Ronaldo is the leading candidate to become the top scorer compared to other players in the Saudi Arabian League.
However, I will not say that Ronaldo will definitely be the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) this season, because as we know, there are still quite a lot of matches left in this season, namely 9 matches remaining for all clubs. Therefore, I think it is too early to say that Ronaldo will definitely be the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League this season. The reason is that this season the competition for players to become the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League is quite tight.

Maybe because there are so many European players playing in the Saudi Arabian League, making the competition to become top scorer even more competitive. So in essence, in the remaining 9 matches this season for all teams in the SPL, Ronaldo's position as top scorer could be shifted or conversely Ronaldo will soar even higher to become top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League.

I knew they were up to gambling discussion but they never wanted me to know about it.
I never see gambling as a bad activity unless you gives yourself up to it in controlling your emotions. So I think these two guys knew they were at the wrong side of it that is why they never wanted me to know they were into gambling.
Yes, I agree with you, that gambling is not a bad activity. Because it all depends on how we play or run it. Maybe a gambler just gambles carelessly, without having boundaries and good financial management. In my opinion, people like that can be said to be bad examples in the world of gambling. Because his actions could result in harm to himself. So basically in gambling, financial management is very necessary. Because after we can manage our finances to gamble well, what I experience is that our minds become better and will have definite limits. Therefore, gambling cannot be said to be bad just because someone experiences losses. Because loss is a risk that everyone who gambles must be prepared to bear.

Just in, he is on medical attention after he slumped as a result of loosing a borrowed fund meant for a business re-startup after the gamble made him squandered his previous business.

~Snip
Therefore, I have said that even when gambling, we must be able to manage our finances (management) well. Because don't be like your friends who use hot money to use as gambling capital. Because when a bad possibility (loss) comes, the risk will definitely be very big. So it's natural that right now your friend is sick because he lost in his gambling game and the money he used was hot money. Therefore, tell your friends, when you want to gamble, use cold money and don't follow excessive emotions. Because following emotions too much can have a bad impact on gambling.

So the point is to be a wise gambler.

If we look at , Girona current performance which is no longer the same as Girona at the beginning of the season which was able to overcome the resistance of big clubs easily, we can see that in the last few weeks or towards the middle of the season Girona performance continued to decline and the peak occurred when they lost to Madrid and Bilbao, in fact, after this defeat, many football observers doubted their capacity as title contenders and I think that is starting to be proven now.
Maybe the Girona players don't have the mental strength (high self-confidence) to beat a strong team like Real Madrid. Because in terms of skill, I think Girona's players are also quite good. The reason is, all this was proven at the start of the season, Girona was able to show very good performance. Maybe at the start of the season because Girona players have high self-confidence and are not afraid of losing. Because at the start of the season, Girona's ranking was still not high so there was no pressure. However, currently the Girona players certainly have very high tension in every match. The reason is that it is very likely that Girona players have feelings or thoughts that this season is an opportunity for them to rise to fame in Laliga. So they really want to bring home victory in every match. However, when Girona lost, the Girona players' confidence dropped slightly. Because of this, Girona's performance this season is decreasing.
However, bringing home victory against Rayo was indeed a breath of fresh air for Girona. Even though Girona won against a team that was said to be less strong, it was still a very good thing. So in my personal opinion, Girona players just need to train mentally or have self-confidence. Because basically the skills of the Girona players are trained extraordinary. Therefore, improving performance is in terms of mentality.

And in the next match, Girona will face Mallorca. Maybe predicting the match this time will be difficult to predict again. Because Head to Head both teams are the same, namely they both got 2 wins and one draw. Apart from that, in the last match Girona faced Mallorca, the result was that Girona lost. So basically the Mallorca VS Girona match is definitely very difficult to predict.

I said earlier that Liverpool can't stay at the top of the Premier League table for long with their current squad. If Liverpool's injured players are not yet back before Liverpool finishes playing their next three matches in the league, either Manchester City or Arsenal will be at the top of the Premier League table.
Maybe your assumption is right, friend. Because, currently a lot of Liverpool players are injured. As far as I know, 13 Liverpool players are injured. So this will definitely have a very significant impact on Liverpool's performance in the English league. The reason is, of the 13 injured Liverpool players, many of them are main players. So, it would be a big problem if injured Liverpool players never recovered. The reason is that currently Liverpool has a very large number of matches scheduled, especially in the Premier League. But fortunately this week Liverpool is scheduled to face Nottingham. So of course it won't be too difficult for Liverpool to deal with it, even though most of the players played by Liverpool are not the main players.

And perhaps the main reason why many Liverpool players are injured is because Liverpool's match schedule is too tight. Such as the European League, FA Cup and League Cup. So Liverpool players certainly don't have much rest time to fully recover their stamina. Even though the results achieved by Liverpool in all these competitions were quite brilliant. The reason is that in the League Cup alone, Liverpool became champions after beating Chelsea in the final round. Then in the Europa League Liverpool have entered the round of 16 and are scheduled to face Sparta Praha. So it is only natural that many Liverpool players suffer injuries. Because Liverpool's match schedule is very busy.

And the impact of all of that has on matches in the domestic league. So at this point Liverpool must be a little confused. The reason is that currently Man City and Arsenal are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the top position in the Premier League from Liverpool.
