441  Economy / Economics / Re: Step up your game before the game steps you down. on: February 16, 2024, 02:50:42 PM
If only we know how bad the economy is degrading globally, we would want to push ourselves to our limit and focus on that our skill or business. Taking it up to the next level. Some persons are still skeptical about the business they own, while some are waiting for the opportunities, they were promised to them by friends or relative and others are comfortable because they have rich people around them that if they place a call, they will answer them.

As the economy is getting worst it is difficult for a responsible adult to go to bed without planning on how to grow his business or how to attract new customers, not just new though but potential customers and business partners that will have big influence in his business. Time waits for no man. Yes, the life is filled with ups and down, but we won't stop trying so that we can have that impact on the existence of man just like how other nerds have done.
It is good to up your game if you are into skills or you are an entrepreneur. the economy that is degrading globally is as a result of some activities of government across board.  Private individuals and business owners will only strive to protect their own personal business but the bucks stop's at tables of government agencies. Government are the only people that can reasonably assist business entrepreneurs to ascertain sufficient business environment and improve lives and property, if the policies of government are enemical to the growth of any skill or a business, no matter how idealistic that business person is, at some points he/she will breakdown. So as we strive to survive individually and grow our businesses we should also point out those responsibilities of government that will help enhance the growth of business across board.

Firstly, I’ve created an account before and was restricted from making posts without knowing what the offence was. At same time, was asked to pay for something i literally know nothing about .

I just created this new account and finally I can make posts, but in regards to this there are certain things I still don’t understand and would likely need direction and answers to questions.

One of the questions is concerning copying and pasting from a browser, new sites, social media or any source. Though, I’ve read through the rules and seen that copy paste isn’t allowed, the question now is what if one is to read through the information provided by any of the above mentioned  and in such formulate your wordings, will there still be need to reference the link from which the information was gotten?

As a newbie I would also like to know if asking questions back to back based on the fact that I haven’t known all yet, wouldn’t cause a penalty of restriction from the forum or a closed account entirely .
A lot of members have given you suggestions and what to do about some questions you've asked, I would like to point out some things to you in a bid to also help you here in the forum. Always ask questions for things you don't have answers, take your time and study the rules and also observe the post pattern of forum members. From your user name, I can see that you're a Nigerian, you can as well visit the Nigerian local board to ask some things and also familiarize yourself with people from Nigeria.
443  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Post quality matters than replying fast on: February 16, 2024, 12:01:42 PM
I've took noticed that alot of users are always in a hurry to reply a post expecially newbies, I know it is a good strategies to always try to make your reply to be among the first or at least fifth position, because it would make it easier for other users to see and to read it. But in a scenario whereby a user came across a post and reply fast without having clear understanding about that post such reply may be seen as off-topic or not contributing at all. And if such act continue as your post are always around the first-fifth position it may lead to you being ignored by other users.
So anytime you see a post take your time to understand the concept before making any reply, for instance you came across a post about security and privacy and more. If you don't have much Idea about it don't jump in and quickly reply take your time read the post after reading do some research for better clarity and understanding. And if you came across any word you are not familiar with always do yourself a favour and use the dictionary because neglecting or Ignoring such  may cause you chances of getting a proper understanding about the post.So doing all this would help you in Acquiring more knowledge and also improve your posting skills, helping you in becoming a good poster.
It is often said that quality will always stand out, if you are not hasty in making reply and you take your time in making quality reply, it will give more meaning and clarity to the original post that was made. More so there are often times that people that make fast reply do make quality replies too because it is not all fast replies that are not quality enough, however it doesn't change the fact that, taking your time to make good and quality post even though is on the fifth page of the original post is a wrong thing, somebody can merit your post at anytime so far as it's has quality.
As for newbies that always want to make fast replies, I think maybe is either they want to be noticed or get merited, however in making fast replies you can be prone to errors either typographical or grammatical,
For me I always digest post before making my replies.

The EPL title is for the main clubs and not some random mediocre teams. Liverpool must not lose any games for the purpose to win, which is a major hurdle for them. Jurgen Klopp has hopes for his club this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold is a vital player for Jurgen Klopp and Gareth Southgate. Watching him play decent football on the pitch is an incredible feat for the Englishman. Unfortunately, he has been ruled out for an additional couple days; nevertheless, he has replacements on the pitch at both the club and national levels.
Liverpool has got a very good chance to win the premier league this season and I'm sure klop would want to give his very best last shot before he finally leaves by the end of the season and a premier league trophy will be a perfect farewell package for him before he leaves and apart from Manchester city, they are looking like the best for the trophy.

Currently the top teams in the premier league which includes Manchester city, Arsenal and Liverpool have almost equal chances at the premier league title but Liverpool has got the most chance as they are at the top of the table with two points away from both Manchester city and Arsenal as bot Manchester city and Arsenal currently share the same points but at different positions, at the second and third position.a single loss or draw can cost Liverpool their chances so they have to make sure to keep winning until with Manchester city or Arsenal drops point as the race is now very tight currently.

I had the same mind set too about Liverpool being the favorite, but recent events have made me to change my stances on Liverpool, currently Liverpool are at the top of the table with 54 points while Manchester city have 52 points with one outstanding match to play. However, it is very unlikely for Manchester city not to win that match, once they win that match, they will top Liverpool with two points. We all know what will happen if Manchester city should be at the top.

The confidence Manchester city are building should be a huge concern to both arsenal and Liverpool, Haaland and de bruyne are back for Manchester city and that's like a complete formation of a cycle for them.

446  Economy / Economics / Re: Food security might not be a priority for younger generations. (2) on: February 15, 2024, 02:33:21 PM
*Reposting this topic from my post in other forum.

There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?
People are gifted in investing in various ways, over the years I have learned to understand that food production or farming is majorly an investment that is hereditary base, most farmers that are in large scale farming and mechanized farming always inherit some of their farms from either their parents or their grandparents who have over time been predominantly farmers. So the production of food over the years will always be there, people will always invest in farming.
cryptocurrency and bitcoin is a new innovation that people are diving into but it will not replace or give divided attention on people that are into farming.
However there are young entrepreneurs that are into livestock farming, food production, animal husbandry and a whole lot more on food processing. food is an essential component of the human race, so at every point in time, you will always see people that are into food production no matter the age whether they are young or old.
447  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Access bank CEO death: is your funds in access bank safe? on: February 14, 2024, 10:08:08 PM
Yesterday night, the sad news about the death of the CEO of Access Bank together with his wife and the only son in an air crash came out and it's really sad to see a complete family being wiped out in a single day in a most painful way.

While we mourn with the extended relative left behind, the question about the current and future state of Access Bank comes to mind.

It's possible he might have used his only son as his next of kin not knowing what lies head of him but considering the current reality, what's your thought on continuous banking with the investment, Access bank,thsr he has left behind?

Do you feel this might lead to the bank shorting down or losing more customers?
Op dis your topic self get how e be, because you suppose know say wigwe na CEO him be, there are other executive officers that the bank have, way go steer the wheels of operation even in the absence of wigwe, or is wigwe the first CEO Access bank has ever had?, I believe your answer is no.
This your question about the bank shorting down or losing customers is sounding somehow in my ears, did wigwe die with all the money deposited in the bank?, Of course no. So the business of banking will go on continuously at Access bank without hitches.
Talking about his WILL, I think the immediate family will know what to do on that.
448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 14, 2024, 05:29:12 PM
yeah. Manchester City are the favorites this season, and I can say that I am confident for Manchester City to win the trophy this season again because of how their performance has been since the return of their key players to the pitch. Although I had hope for Liverpool before the return of their key players, right now, with the way City's performance is going, I don't see Arsenal or Liverpool as the favorites again because Manchester City are now back, although before I was thinking Arsenal or Liverpool would take the trophy.
Only two points away from Liverpool, we are very confident that Man City can catch up at the end of this season, at least they can be more consistent in all matches, if the title doesn't just disappear for Man City because Liverpool is still in consistent stamina in their last few matches, so I still have to be alert, in my opinion, Man City, plus this week, will host Chelsea in week 23/24, at least getting full points is something that Man City players and Pep Guardiola must get.

Manchester City is only 2 points behind Liverpool. However, Manchester City team has played one match less than Liverpool. So if Manchester City can beat Chelsea in their next match then the top spot in the table will be occupied by Manchester City.

However, it will be difficult for the three teams, City, Liverpool and Arsenal, to hold the top spot in the table. Because there are a lot of strong teams in the Premier League. So it is very difficult for any team to maintain a winning streak. Still each team will play around 14/15 matches. There is still a long journey ahead. So it is still uncertain which team will win the title.
With the way things are looking, Manchester city might likely win the league, initially I didn't see them as contenders but recently they've been edging in so hard on Liverpool and arsenal. With the outstanding match they have, once they win that match, just know that Manchester city hardly drop points when they are at the top of the table. However there is too much time for Liverpool and arsenal to pick up the Pace.
I am still one of those persons that don't want Manchester city to win the league, not because I don't like Manchester city but because it's making the league look like a farmers league.
449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: February 14, 2024, 11:34:21 AM
I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.
Once a gambler has gotten the mentality of wanting to recover the money he has lost in gambling, just know that the person is in a serious problem, that feeling is what gambling does to you most times but if you're able to recognize it and say NO to yourself, that it is not every loss that I will recover then you will begin to retrace your steps.

I feel as a friend, you shouldn't stop advising him, 64k dollar is lot of money, maybe you should involve the services of a psychiatrist to help in talking to him, for him to see the dangers ahead of him, because letting him go like that without helping to fight the situation for him to stop his addiction, he will go deeper beyond the current level he is now, so as a friend do well to seek for a professional help.
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can a betting shop be so dubious like this on: February 14, 2024, 11:07:40 AM
The betting platform is not to be blamed as the victim gambled using a betting agent? But he went to their betting site headquarter with no help given.

He used the betting agent of the betting platform to gamble and he won $11800 when I converted the local currency to dollar. He said the owner of the betting shop travelled abroad but he met the workers. The workers wanted to scam the man by not giving him any money.

The people involved that wanted to scam the man have been taken to court. They were granted bail with two sureties and the case has been adjourned to match 4 2024.

Some people are just very dubious

https://punchng.com/bet-naija-attendant-friend-arraigned-for-allegedly-stealing-n16-7m
Obvious the money won are with those betting agent, immediately you win any game using betting agent, the bet company will send the money into the agent account for them to pay the winner.
 However cases like this have happened over time and the bet companies now have a different pattern of payment once the money won is big, what the bet company currently do now is that, once you win big amount on a bet, they use what they call super agent to monitor the payment process, this super agent are people with bigger betting shops within the city, that cannot run away given the amount of investment they have on ground, so hence the money that is won is released to the small agent, the bet company will call on the super agent to monitor and facilitate the payment process to the winner, so there will be no room for small agents to run with somebody money.
However I still feel the best way for you to gamble is for you to have your private account so that whenever you win the money goes into your account and you can easily transfer it to a bank account or any of the account without any agent.
451  Economy / Economics / Re: Surviving the economy with creative thinking. on: February 13, 2024, 09:11:45 PM
It has come to a point where humans can’t just seat and watch things happen for themselves. As humans leaving in this kind of economy where things are not getting easier, we have to employ the art of creative thinking skills. It is clearly seen that to survive in today’s world. You must be creative in your thinking. The world is a global village that is changing rapidly. Humans must be innovative in their ideas and should produce different techniques. Which can be implemented in order to develop commodities and create a competitive edge.this is to say creative thinking plays a prominent role in today’s world.
In being creative you need to think outside the box, also there are a lot of factors that enhances creativity in a society. However there must be prevailing circumstances within your country that will enable you to think outside the box or be creative. if you live in a society where there is stability in economy and there is high level of peaceful coexistence, the need for you to start being creative and wanting to seek for extra sources of income wouldn't be there.
So your creativity and idealistic skills can only be realistic in a situation where the circumstances and challenges surrounding you are  enormous hence the need to create an extra source of income will come into play.  however not everybody can relate to your line of thought because every society has its own peculiar challenges, which makes the citizens to know how to navigate around it for survival.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will AI Take over the Position of VAR? on: February 13, 2024, 12:12:46 PM
I have been hearing stories on Video Assistant Referee which is popularly known as VAR errors and and people are complaining that VAR is not doing well again so they should remove it while some are saying it is meant to favor one team over the other. And I can also noticed that in the 2022 world cup. And I saw this

And I also made research on Google and I saw more errors from VAR so I was also thinking that will the Artificial intelligence AI will takeover the position of VAR to give accurate results from the pitch? And today I have seen this again.

There is another story again. Joe Mourinho also advised the European Football Union to handover VAR to CAF because according to him CAF used VAR very correctly than the European league.


So what is your day on this matter. Will AI takeover VAR?
One thing you must understand is the fact that video assistant referee(VAR) is to help and assist the referee on the beach against some actions he might not see clearly, these method was adopted to help reduce injustices and fouls that may happen on the peace without the referee taking cognizance, however VAR is not 100% perfect in its accuracy but I bet you VAR is at least 85% accurate in it's judgement.
As a football lover over the years I can confidently tell you that VAR has reduced the rate of off side goals, tackle's that the referee didn't see properly or properly gave an earlier wrong judgement on, and a whole lot more things VAR has helped World football. VAR may not be perfect but with time it will move towards perfection.
No doubt, criticisms like these are some of the prerequisites ingredients that VAR needs to correct some of those abnormalities they have but there is absolutely no need to bring in AI into world football.
453  Economy / Economics / Re: Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 13, 2024, 11:53:30 AM
Increasing the minimum wage of workers doesn't solve the inflation problem it's just a surface amelioration but deep down it multiplies the inflation effect when the actual economic issues that leads to inflation hasn't be tackled yet.

Like you rightly said in the Op yes, there will be increase in prices of goods and services by marketers immediately it's announced that minimum wage of workers has been increased because they assume that that's the only way they too can benefit from the increase through a responsive increment in commodities. I think elevating the minimum wage without correspondent resolution to tackling the main economic causes of inflation only makes the country currency to further lose more value in the market.
Mean while the increase in minimum wage is one major factor use to increase the purchasing powers of citizen's, so should we not increase wages because of the prevailing inflations that is damaging the economy.
However I agree with some of your points in terms of corresponding resolution in terms of productivity and tackling the root cause of inflation, still it doesn't take the place of wage increase.
454  Economy / Economics / Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 13, 2024, 11:41:40 AM
Over time, I've heard discussions about inflation and the rising cost of goods and services across almost every sector on the world economy.
However, suggestions have been made in various ways on how best to tackle the menace called Inflation. Recently I have personally thought that one of the ways to fight inflation in an economy is to increase minimum wage. More so there has been a back and forth argument on these, as some persons argue that the increase in minimum wage will rise the bar on commodities, because they feel hence you increase the purchasing powers, it will have a multiplier effect on the economy which might be challenging.

So guys, is increase in minimum wage not a good measure to fight inflation. Let's have your opinion.

I opened a betting account today (don't have to mention) but when I bet on their virtual games, they don't have the kind of options I am expecting to see but only provides more like only 4 options which are home win, away win, draw and over. So I bet if I could win but luckily for me I won ×2 of what I deposited, then I withdrawed the funds and mailed them to block the account because I don't find anything suitable for my liken but they replied me saying they can't and I have to make use of the account until 90 days before they can block the account.
However, it's my money and they can't force me to use it, so they have to block the account. I see that the only way to stay away from the betting account is not to fund it again.
So can anyone force you to make use of what you don't dislike?
OP, I am trying to correlate your caption with your storyline.
Nobody can force you to do what you don't want to do because you can simply abandon the account.
Since you won x 2 of your deposit and you found out that maybe thier betting options are not good for you, it better you just let it go.
Ordinary they gave you an option of 90 days and after 90 days you can go ahead in blocking the account, in your statement I don't see where they say they are forcing you to make use of the account, they only gave you an option of 90 days after which you can do whatever you want to do with the account, and in these period of 90 days, you can as well decline usage of the account.

That’s football, it’s either you win or you lose in a final match.
The players did their best from the beginning of the tournament till this stage, they all played with their heart to represent the nation, and it ended like this, it is not a bad one in my opinion.

It is always hard for against a host team that is also the best loser in a tournament, Ivory Coast deserves the victory because they played well throughout the tournament.

But some players in Nigeria did not play well today especially Iwobi, and Ola Aina but we can’t do anything about it.
In the end, Kudos to the coach and his team, they did well.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast 🇨🇮, and goodbye AFCON.
Congratulations to Ivory Coast they were far better than Nigeria they controlled the game throughout and they showed they were well prepared for the final, the players were well composed and didn’t give up despite going a goal down. Nigeria on the other hand lacked composure and played like an underdog despite having the lead before half time they couldn’t define their play and I didn’t see any style of play in their game.

I feel they have been lucky all through the competition because their style of play have not been convincing enough as all teams they face easily outplayed them but they usually get lucky to win one way or another. Nigeria lacks midfield and that was their major weakness and it cost them the game because Iwobi was totally careless and was useless throughout the game, Ola Aina was also very poor and allowed Adingra to exploit him and assisted two goals all from his wing.

Ivory Coast deserved to win because they were clearly the better team, they had more goal attempts and created more chances.
Yes Ivory Coast clearly deserved to win. A marvellous cup triumph. There was nothing to be done about the first goal, the ball travelled very well and they fell behind. But after they fell behind, Ivory Coast performed in such a way that in the second half they almost crush a strong team like Nigeria. It was a good match to watch, I really enjoyed it. If it wasn't for the first goal, maybe it could have gone to extra time with a goalless draw, but Ivory Coast played the best game they have played in this cup in the final and deservedly won the cup. Congratulations Ivory Coast.
From the beginning of the game, ivory coast played with a very high spirit. They where so aggressive in their playing pattern, like they came here for victory alone. The Nigerian side where more relaxed, they weren't biting hard, the midfield of Nigeria was porous, it was safe to say the midfield was conquered by the ivorian players.. even when Nigeria scored that first goal, the Ivorians weren't relenting they kept on coming hard on Nigeria both attack and Midfield. With the way they played they were hungry for victory and so they got victory.  The major problem Nigeria had was the midfield, and the three men they played on the midfield were not formidable enough, they would have used another formation maybe 442.
On the contrary, I believe the super Eagles started with much pressure of play and that's what made the referee give a second look at every foul and made a decision based on the pressure the team started with.
I agree super Eagles couldn't just hold the ball on the ground and play to win possession, instead, they were just throwing the passes to the front for Osimhen or Lookman to perform magic.

Your last paragraph is having exactly my own thoughts. Looking at how the game went iwobi, onyeka chuckwueze where not handling the midfield very well, just like you said, they where just giving osimhen the ball upfront without any physical support as if they want him to do magic with the ball. The goal scored by trooks ekong didn't even make the boys increase their confidence, Ivorians played to to a point where for like 2-4 minutes Nigerian players didn't touch the ball, because the ivorian had more of the ball possession.

I didn't expected Man Utd to winnings when they visite Aston Villa because Man Utd performances was still quite doubtful, in fact I thought Man Utd would only be able to achieved a draw but in reality Man Utd was able to appear surprising in this match and be a positive results in the future and in the next match against Luton Town should be a fairly easy match because in term of strengths, Aston Villa is bigger. But sometime Man Utd strength is still doubtfull and they have not appeared completely consistent, but I hoped Man Utd is able to win it so they can gets closer to the UCL zone.
How you can say Manchester United's performance was doubtful? they haven't lose in the last five matches, actually Aston Villa's performance was doubtful because they can lose against Chelsea and Newcastle when both of this clubs aren't in good perform.

But this match, Aston Villa gives a lot pressure to Manchester United, they shots 23 times, surprisingly Onana is really good in this match. Although Hojlund and McTominay are the goal scorers, but Onana is the reason why Manchester United won.

I would say that Manchester United  team was lucky to secure 3 points in  this match. Because overall gameplay of Aston Villa players was better than Manchester United players in this match. And I thought the match might be a draw.
Correct. Even in total shots on target, Aston Villa is far superior to Manchester United. Aston Villa should have won the match if only their finishing had been effective. Lots of Aston Villa players wasted opportunities that could have been goals. But that's football, a small mistake can have fatal consequences and Manchester United can take advantage of it by scoring the second goal which ultimately secures 3 points in this match.
Aston villa where really ready for united,  they had more better playing time than Manchester United.  Onana was exceptionally brilliant in those saves he made, sometimes as a coach, you don't listen the criticism from the fans, I remember this same onana some months back the way he has  been criticize for poor performance yet Eric Ten hag still kept using him, obviously I think he saw something in him that we are not seeing, consistency might actually lead to improvement.  Aston villa were not just lucky enough to take the day if not ordinarily they played better than Manchester United but fortunately victory went for Manchester United, more like they made use of the tiniest opportunity they had.

I’m so excited for the AFCON final today, Nigeria vs Ivory Coast. It’s going to be a tough one for Nigeria, coming up against the host nation. I hope Joss Poseiro will be fielding his best players in this fixture, there should be no room for mistakes. The weak links in the team should not start the game. Alex Iwobi wasn’t impressive at all in the game against South Africa, I would prefer if he is benched and Yusuf is brought in the starting lineup. Osimhen hasn’t had the goals in this tournament but I believe he’s going to score at least two goals for Nigeria against Ivory Coast.

Today’s match is going to be the most exciting match to watch since the beginning of the AFCON. Nigeria will be facing the host nation and it is going to be a tough one for them to face lots of Ivorians fans that will be coming to watch the match today in their hometown. Nigerians have played well till now even though others have seen it as a game of luck to have come this far, I believe luck still favours those who work towards achieving it. The lineup today should be the most excellent one and the Nigerian coach should have knows the best players to start with today.

Alex Iwobi is good and Yusuf is also a good player, although they play differently but they bought have their impact in the field when they’re playing, it is left for the coach to decide who befits to start the match first. Osimehn is a clinical striker and I am sure he will give the Ivorians defenders a tough time in the eighteen yard box. If he can’t score, he can make them conceive a penalty in their eighteen yard box. A talented striker he is, I expect him to be at its best form today.
I heard the host nation have mobilize their locals to fill up the stadium to cheer their players up. That's like home advantage strategy they are using there. Given the way they the host nation started this competition, I really want to commend them for coming thus far, they started on the wrong footing with so much inconsistency on their group stages but look at today they are in the finals with Nigeria. It's going to be a great game, people are all anticipating to hear the whistle for the match opening.

Tactically Nigeria's are good in defense and attack,  on the central midfield they don't really have much display there, I know they will be capitalizing on their hitman Victor osimhen to some magic upfront.

There are two interesting matches in Serie A in Week 24

AS Roma vs Inter Milan

In my opinion, Inter Milan has better bargaining power to steal points when they visit Roma headquarters. Indeed, there is increasing motivation within the Roma club, after Morinho change to De Rossi. In general, Inter will most likely continue their positive trend towards leading the standings, De Rossi's capacity and quality will be tested in this match.

AC Milan vs Napoli

A very cliche match, two elite Serie A clubs who failed to challenge for the Scudetto due to their inconsistency. Milan only has the ambition to continue to be in the top four of the standings without being able to disrupt Inter dominance in the trophy hunt, and Napoli has indeed lost its identity as defending champion. On paper, Milan has a chance to secure full points, but Napoli cannot be underestimated either, it is better to avoid betting on this match.

AS Roma Vs Milan
Obviously football has its own suprise, first half just ended and inter Milan where initially winning 1-0, before Roma came back into the game and equalize and are currently winning 2-1. Given the way things are the game might just end in a tie or Roma will score goals because their performance has been impressive. Dybala and El shaarawy have been brilliant with their style of play and it has really helped the Roma side.
Let's see what the second half has to offer but I will be banking on Roma to win inter Milan.
