In the first half, Osasuna was one goal ahead of host Elche. The match was normal, nothing special, I even saw that in this match the two clubs played with all their hearts. Not many opportunities were created, they only played in the midfield area with Osasuna having more of the ball. In the second half, it looks like Osasuna should be braver to attack because Elche doesn't look like it will harm their defense in the first half. Unless Osasuna really wants to play it safe, they will definitely be more careful because they already have a 1 goal advantage. I don't see the potential in Elche's game, it looks like they will lose again.
Osasuna leads by 1 goal. Osasuna's players are playing well, Osasuna is controlling most of the game. Hopefully Osasuna will be able to score more goals.

I don't think it will be difficult for Barcelona to get 3 full points in the match against Getafe. Even though Getafe is playing at home, but their performance is still far below Barcelona, so it's likely they will play defensive football.
Logically it is weird if they won Real Madrid but can not win against Getafe. Barcelona are able to break defense of Getafe that is what I believe in. It won't be easy for Barcelona but they can do it.

One disadvantage of Barcelona is Lewandowski has not too good form recently for them. After a very impressive debut and beginning of season, it seems Lewandowski has difficult time after returning from World Cup 2022. That tournament affected his body and maybe partially because clubs in La Liga are getting more familiar with Lewandowski and already found defensive ways to constrain the striker.
Expect Barcelona to beat Getafe. Because Barcelona was able to beat Real Madrid brilliantly a few days ago. As a result, a great self-confidence has been created among the team players.

The bookmarkers don't always get their prediction right and don't forget that something they might be doing this kind of rating on purpose to attract betters. They on purpose give out bad rating to the favorite team, for instance, the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid is having Liverpool as the favorite when we all know, Real Madrid are by far superior.
Agree with you about not all sports bookmarkers not always right in their predicting about which team will qualify to next round or favorite become the winner in UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season. I remember last season with Real Madrid is weakness team and not favorite by all sportsbook after bigger odds given when Real Madrid match against from PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City until final faced with Liverpool.

I don't care about sportsbook if not favorite Real Madrid to win against Liverpool on 16 round but I am optimistic with Madrid will get chance qualify to next round.
Saying Madrid is not in the favorites I agree but when saying Madrid is weak I don't really agree with that.
As for the actual Favorites in recent seasons it has remained the same and Manchester City has obviously always been at the forefront but the problem is as you said not all predictions are right especially for the Champions League. It's not impossible that this season there will be some surprises even though for those who are in the final it's clear that only the top teams will be there.
Real Madrid is a very strong team. Every player in their team is performing very well. But I don't see any chance for them in the Champions League. In some matches, they are ensuring defeat due to their own mistakes.

So far this season, Chelsea's performance has proven that Things isn't working for Chelsea for a very long time now, that they went into overestimated transfer deals and bought players in prizes they ought not to have, and I see this to be a preparatory measure against the upcoming matches awaiting them. But looking at Borussia Dortmund, I don't see any preparatory measures they have taken, upon their poor performance in the domestic leagues so I don't think it's wrong for one to consider Dortmund the worst.
Thinking that according to the facts that have been seen is not wrong at all, but I just haven't seen how Dortmund played after the world cup break so some people can only conclude based on Dortmund's game before the world cup break. So I'll wait and see how Dortmund perform tomorrow at home against Augsburg in the Bundesliga. After that I will try to make a comparison with Chelsea who will compete today at home to Liverpool.
Dortmund are currently not performing so well. When Haaland was in the team, the team progressed at a great pace. Holland's lack of place in the team at present is acutely understood.

The way I see how the match is going to play at, I think Chelsea will likely win at Dortmund home while Dortmund will try to get a draw at least but that won't be possible. Chelsea has the highest chance of winning at the Stanford bridge because they are going to be playing in front of their fans and they won't want to disappoint them. People thinking Chelsea is going to be terrible has to realized that this isn't the premier League, this is the Champions League so things might likely play at differently.

The bookmarkers don't always get their prediction right and don't forget that something they might be doing this kind of rating on purpose to attract betters. They on purpose give out bad rating to the favorite team, for instance, the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid is having Liverpool as the favorite when we all know, Real Madrid are by far superior.
I have to agree with the assumption that the Champions League has different interests than every team there is. Chelsea are indeed in a disadvantageous condition in the Premier League, but it looks like they are not allowing conditions to be as bad in the Champions League against Dortmund.

The chance will be equal for both teams, but Chelsea are the favorites over Dortmund in the Champions League. If Haaland was still in Dortmund, then I think Dortmund would be the favourites. I like Chelsea to reach the quarter-finals, but Dortmund for whatever reason will definitely try to give their best to win it. I just don't want to say Chelsea are better, but they are an experienced team in the Champions League.
The match between Chelsea and Dortmund looks more likely, as Chelsea's current performance is not very good. In other words, Dortmund is ahead of Chelsea in terms of performance. Hope this match will be very competitive.

Juventus were penalized 15 points by the sentence, now the championship can be said to be totally over, do you think it is the right choice or would you have chosen other penalties?  I think it's fair as a penalty, even if the championship has never really started for them this year.

How fair the penalty was is debatable, but after today it has become almost impossible for Juventus to be among the top 4 teams in the league and qualify for the Champions League. I don't think the team can recover after today, it will be a very difficult process for them.
A few years ago they were suspended for playing in a Serie B. Juventus had similar experiences in this regard before
Juventus is currently performing well. All the players of the team are playing with great responsibility for the team. However, one of the team's attacking players is showing disruption. Juventus would be stronger if they had a great attacking player in their current squad.

Extremely disappointed with the performance of Newzealand batters. Indian bowlers were in attack mode from the beginning of the powerplay. Mohammad Shami taking the lead followed by Hardik and Shiraz. Pacers have been getting more wickets than the spinners it seems. Another dominating series by the Indian team. 109 is an easy target to chase which will also ensure the win of this series.
108 all out , what a disastrous performance by Newzealand  no one stayed on crease . Indian balling was excellent today  they attacked perfectly and as a result they didn't let Kiwis stay on pitch .
A very small target to chase , this is Indians win today.
Many did not think that New Zealand would be able to give a target of such low runs. This short run is not enough to defeat India, the Indian team is currently performing brilliantly. I am very sure that India will win this match.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 21, 2023, 11:40:21 AM
The second ODI will take place tomorrow, at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. I don't know much about this venue, but I guess it is just another India track which provides zero support for the bowlers. Morale will be high for both the teams - India after their win in the first ODI, and New Zealand after their incredible fightback with Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner. And toss will once agai have a big impact, with the team winning the toss very likely to electing to bat first under batsmen friendly conditions.
In this series of 3 ODI matches India is leading by 1-0. Both teams are strong and will play the second match tomorrow. New Zealand will try to its best to win that match because they will try to make the series by 1-1 and the third match will be the final. If India wins than the series will go in favor or India team.
India 1 and New Zealand 0, New Zealand's chances of winning is slightly higher in this aspect. The next game could be more difficult for both of the team. Whatever the number of winnings in the series. The competition between such good teams always at the highest level. India has performed brilliantly so far. In the previous series Sri Lanka was defeated by far distacne. In this series New Zealand have no chance but to win the next match to save the series. Will they be able to snatch victory from India?
Yes it is quite clear that New Zealand cricket team, to win this series New Zealand cricket team against Indian cricket team, need to win two matches in a row. On the other hand, one more match is enough for the Indian cricket team to win the series. Because India has won the first match against New Zealand and is ahead. But all in all, it is assumed that the upcoming matches are going to be tougher and tougher
Indian team bowlers have shown great skill. They managed to take wickets of the New Zealand batsmen. New Zealand batsmen have not been able to give a big target as 50 overs. India is expected to win this match easily.

Although Manchester City and Tottenham both the teams performed very well. But Manchester city kept defending in the firs half and showed their skills in fullest in the 2nd half.
Great performance by both the teams .. Better luck Tottenham! And Congrats to Manchester City!
 
in the first half man city was 2 goals behind tottenham but guardiola changed the pattern of man city's game in the second half and the results were truly extraordinary because in the second half man city was able to score 4 goals, congrats to man city.
Manchester City  is really a great club. They have great tactical players in their team. One of which is Haaland, Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, these players are currently doing something great for the team. On the other hand, some of Tottenham's great mistakes have been noticed, against teams like Manchester City because of such mistakes that have seen them lose.

Today we will witness a duel between the most disappointing teams this season, Liverpool vs Chelsea. These teams are currently 9th and 10th respectively in the table. This is definitely below the expectations and capabilities of these teams. Both teams struggle with injuries to key players, which certainly affects the quality of their games. In today's match, I bet on a victory for Liverpool, who must feel a huge sporting anger after two defeats in a row.
Liverpool and Chelsea - Expect Liverpool to be ahead in the match. Liverpool have been performing well in some matches. But it is not right to underestimate Chelsea. Even though the current performance of the two teams is Liverpool ahead, Chelsea will be looking to secure a resounding victory in this match.
431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 19, 2023, 02:03:22 PM
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have underperformed this season and it might even be possible for both of these teams to miss out qualifying for the Uefa Champions League next season. Chelsea will be missing a number of key players in this upcoming match against Liverpool and I guess Liverpool might be able to take advantage of this situation and score a victory against Chelsea at the stadium of Anfield.
Liverpool vs Chelsea match will be highly enjoyed by all football fans. Because the players of both the teams are in great performance. Both teams will want to secure victory. However, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is in great form, his good performance is likely to ensure Liverpool's victory.

The draw that Manchester United got was enough to face Arsenal next week, because so far they are still on the right track, even though this draw has made them fail to be in second place in the standings, a beautiful goal from Olise through a free kick scheme making Manchester United have to share points with Crystal Palace, Vicente Guaita has not fully adapted to Manchester United because there are many opportunities that cannot be exploited. De Gea made four resounding saves and he played quite well in this game.

While Bruno Fernandez is increasingly showing his abilities as an energetic central attacking midfielder and in this match he also scored an important goal for Manchester United, so far Erik Ten Hak has managed to conjure up the Red Devils to be more reckoned with. Next they will prepare to travel to the Emirates Stadium and will be the real test for Erik Ten Hak.
De Gea was the best player of this match, he just saved Manchester United from defeat, he made some very important saves. If I'm not mistaken, because of the yellow card that Casemiro received against Crystal Palace, he will be forced to miss the match against Arsenal, this could be a significant loss for ten Hag in such an important match. Ten Hag managed to improve the team very well, but it seems to me that Arsenal are still stronger now. Maybe it will be another draw for Manchester United, but I'm more inclined to think that Arsenal will win.

De Gea played a really good game. As a goalkeeper, he was already a goalkeeper that I loved very much. He is a name that has won many matches for Manchester United. I don't think it gets the value it deserves. He can easily be the goalkeeper of the Spanish national team, but they did not evaluate him. He will be one of the key players in the Arsenal match for Manchester United.
Manchester United was not able to perform very well in this match. The quality of players in their current team required them to win this match. However Manchester United managed to draw. They would have been able to add some points if they had secured the victory in this match.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 19, 2023, 01:17:58 PM
Manchester United couldn't hold on to that one goal lead until the end and finished the game in a 1-1 draw. If only they were able to convert most of the chances created in the match they would have gotten a comfortable win against Crystal Palace but they failed to convert their chances and conceded a goal instead. Rashford was stingy with the ball, there could have been more goals if he had passed the ball to his teammate. Manchester United were unlucky last night, they lost their chance to climb to the second spot on the table and Casemiro got himself a suspension from playing in the match against Arsenal this weekend. IMO Ten Hag should have benched Casemiro and saved him for a more important game against Arsenal.
It was quite a tiring week for Man United, apart from being held to a draw by Crystal Palace they also lost Casemiro against Arsenal. Obviously, this can affect the performance of Erik Ten Hag's team. There are only 2 options to replace Casemiro, namely Feed and McTuminay, so far both of them may not be able to fully match Casemiro more dominant contribution in maintaining defense.
Casemiro was a very important player that makes the defense of manchester united become stronger. Losing him gonna be a boomerang for MU. MU has no chance other than use another player to replace casemiro. Ten hag has been taking a huge bet by played him in the match against crystal palace. Casemiro was able to play against arsenal if ten hag was putting him on the bench. it will be far better if ten hag will replace him with another defender other than meguire. Ten hag was taking a huge risk by let him play and get a yellow card against crystal palace.
I think that if MU may be losing against arsenal caused by the defense of club will be so weak without casemiro.
Casemiro is holding midfielder not defender and his position to balanced Manchester United midfield sides and he is one of successfull transfer from Ten Hag that since Casemiro arrived to Manchester United he can earn trust from Ten Hag and playing regularly because Casemiro was performing well when he was played and i don't know this is certain news or not but this weekend Casemiro will be absence because of card accumulation and if this news true Manchester United cannot putting him on the bench because it is forbidden and without Casemiro i am not sure Manchester United can able to beat Arsenal because other players quality such as Mctominay is far below if compared to him
Casemiro is a skilled midfielder. He is able to show good skills in both positions starting from attack and defensive. He is an experienced footballer. He is able to play the middle field of the team brilliantly.

Tonight , City has another chance to get points and to get back on track for fighting for EPL title even if that opportunity is kinda fading away lately for them.
This game vs Spurs is a must win game for Manchester City, they have to get three points or nothing, failure to win tonight basically means that Pep Guardiola's side will have an uphill task if they are to catch Arsenal at the summit of the EPL table. Tottenham are never an easy opponent for City, more often than not they give City problems when they face each other, right now Tottenham aren't in their best run of form, but this big game is an opportunity for Conte's men to start their resurgence and revive their season. It is definitely going to be an interesting game quite alright, but as far as predictions go, i can't really pick a winner right now.
Manchester City vs Tottenham match is expected to be a great match. Because both teams have great XI. All of the team has performed very well. But I will keep Manchester City ahead in this match.
435  Economy / Economics / Re: Your way of living the wage what you need to live normal life on: January 16, 2023, 06:10:00 PM
It is important to ensure that workers are paid a fair wage that allows them to meet their basic needs and maintain a decent standard of living. Measures such as rent control can help to make housing more affordable for people, and in countries where the cost of living is high, minimum wage should be adjusted accordingly. However, it is important to note that implementing these measures can have a complex impact on the economy, and there are different opinions on how best to approach these issues. You may be right about something, but there will always be those people who will complain about it. Overpopulation could be the main reason and corruption. Skilled people are living without getting a decent job because of the lack of opportunity. And in the situation we are in right now, it's hard to tell whether this will change or not.
i would live a good life if my wage is $ 3000 K - I will more than happy and would not ask for anything
But my salary comes weekly and I keep spending them that is one of the reasons I am unable to save but I would wish if I get $ 3000 every month. One day hopefully
436  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: January 16, 2023, 06:07:50 PM

To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?

As some who had the experience of having 2 and then 3 side jobs I can surely say the answer depends on yourself but if you ask to be the short answer is no it can't help you to have a financial stability situation. Even if you have income from 2 other resources you will need to have a plan for your life and how you spend your money without having a plan even a side job cannot help you. Besides that, I prefer to focus on one job and become successful in it instead of having other jobs.
That's because we don't focus first on the one job we have, but if one of our jobs is running smoothly then a side job can be a better thing to do. In your story it seems that some of the people you mentioned earlier have lost their focus, I mean the work they are doing is not completely smooth and they are taking other jobs. It would surely divide and would even make a mess.
I also have stories about this, which I noticed they were too greedy and didn't try to one job be more advanced first. But in my opinion side jobs are still important to do, this depends on how we see things.
The job I do is a new venture and most of the time I get my salary late - but since my boss supported me in good days. I don't feel like asking him money and bothering much to pay by salary on time - I have a few side hustles and they are enough to pay my bills. And yes my side business helps me alot. sometimes I even pay salary to my staff and then keep the salaries which comes to me. life goes on!

Hardship creates strong men, Strong men creates good time, Good time creates weak men and then Weak men creates hardship.
So the circle of life continues. It is just that we are in the state of one of those time. You have to decide what you want to become and how you choose to live the life. If you manage to create good times, people will become weak and lead to another hard time. And the next generation will become strong to survive the hard time.
Even if it's worse now, the good day will come back to us again. Or to our next generation.

This to shall pass - be it good time of bad time - be it health or sickness nothing is permanent
Life is the. name of struggle - and we die struggling hard. one day this circle end and we move to our heavenly abode
We struggle so hard for the worldly material and then we lose interest in all those things.

It's all about the mindset, imagine setting a goal of 5 years in mind, if you share that dream with the poor they will shout, saying they can't ever wait that long or they will think about death, like ' what will happen if I don't live that long, excuses upon excuses.

Years ago I tried to hard to bring people up, dream together and make something for ourselves, but they don't believe, they are the type that like quick action, get rich in weeks or months.
its about mindset and effort and consistency - I have 2 friends - one who keep struggling  and the other who keep planning
The one who keeps planning makes good plans and never fulfill them and the one who struggling - although haven't achieved well but at least he has been working hard with honesty
439  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: January 16, 2023, 05:57:06 PM
It isn't hard if you're living alone, but it becomes a problem when you have a lot if mouths to feed and bills to pay. Saving isn't for everyone obviously, and before you can start to save you need to have some form of safety net in the event that your salary won't allow you to pay all the bills and put some food on the table. This is why a lot of people nowadays opt to take two jobs just to get by. After everything is paid for, there still wouldn't be enough to keep as a decent savings. Just imagine getting $4000 a month, and $2500 already goes to bills and rent/mortgage, how can you live off of $1500 for food and transportation with a family of 4? That's not including education funds too.

If wages can br increased then perhaps we can encourage a lot of people to save. But in reality, even single people cannot live off of minimum wage and still have some decent money left for anything that they want nowadays.
True - if you are living alone and your dont have a bunch of loser friends who thinks since you are alone and single so you have not responsibility but to buy them food and cinema ticket all the time - I am alone but I have a bunch of loser friends - who have been stealing my things and money and I am so looser that I didnot know what is happening with me.

They have no news, just hurry up and wait. It's frustrating. Also, kind of embarrassing having nurses put a bed pan under you and wiping your ass when done.

I really have nothing else to report or update you all on. I wish there was more.
