FA Cup resumed and there was a match that has been played and ended with a draw between Crystal Palace and Everton. Crystals Palace weren't able to score against Everton although the latter team played like 15 minutes with 10 players only.
The game will be held eventually in 15 January to decide the winner.
Otherwise, there is some good matches between clubs from the English Premier League like Brentford - Wolverhampton in less than 24 hours and there is the most exciting one, Arsenal against Liverpool in Emirates Stadium in few days

I am following Kylian Mbappe news from time to time since it became annoying with a lot of rumours. It appears that his mother is his agent again? If she finds a good Qatari offer to renew the contract with PSG while having her son near her in Paris, she or he will refuses?
I read about Kylian Mbappe waiting before taking a decision like he is not in hurry with the deadline of Real Madrid getting close every day. He said that he is OK with PSG and he will not harm the club. Is that mean he wants to join Real Madrid right now with money coming to PSG vault?
It is very random honestly this drama and yeah congratulations for them winning the Trophée.

Since it is all rumours being said, it is difficult to guess what will happen later but from what I heard and read, it appears that Jose Mourinho is hoping for a contract extension with Roma!
His contribution with Roma is just normal, nothing special in term of results, the ranking of Roma is always outside of the first four spots dedicated for Champions League..
I don't know if he could be successful with the Brazilian team if he ever joined them. I know he could improve the team but the results might not always follow for him.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Roma history with that team was not that successful and so far Roma won two and Cremonese won two matches among the four that they played against each other.
Roma were lucky to pass but in reality they missed many opportunities to score and they were able to win without needing to score the penalty..
Roma should improve their gameplay so they can advance further in all competitions.

The game was incredible between Girona and Atletico Madrid. I expected a draw between these two teams but a late goal scored by Martin for Girona ruined my prediction for good
Girona continue to lead the table a round after another and the other teams in La Liga and every single person in this world watching this league is wondering when they will drop and whether they will grab the title this season.
Real Madrid were able to maintain the gap between them and Girona after their victory by a single goal scored by Rudiger in Mallorca goalie.
It appears that the only surprise today is Real Betis defeat against Celta Vigo. A late goal ruined the point that Real Betis were about to take..

Toulouse seemed to be more successful in other competition than Ligue 1. During this season in Ligue 1 they only won twice after 17 rounds which is a very bad record.
The Super Cup match or exactly the Trophée des Champions match that will be played today between PSG, Ligue 1 winner, and Toulouse, French Cup winner, will be an easy one for PSG in Parc des Princes in my opinion.
Toulouse didn't win a single game against PSG for more than five years..

Coppa Italia round of 16 resumed.
So far Lazio, Fiorentina, Frosinone and Bologna qualified to the next round before the beginning of this year. The biggest blow was Inter and Napoli being kicked out of the competition.
Yesterday Milan won against Cagliari by 4 goals to 1 which is an expected victory.
Today there is two matches that will be played between Atalanta - Sassuolo and the next one is between Roma - Cremonese. The first impression that I have is Atalanta and Roma qualifications. Nevertheless, Sassuolo is an annoying opponent and could drive Atalanta to play penalties. Otherwise Roma's history with Cremonese isn't that successful since they lost two of the three matches that they played against each other.

Real Madrid will play against Mallorca in Santiago Bernabeu so it is most likely a victory for them even though Mallorca improved a little and won or at least got a point or more in their latest games. Real Madrid could win this match by at least two goals difference. In terms of injury, Real Madrid still suffering from the absence of the whole defence line in addition to poor Courtois this season..

Atletico Madrid and Girona match will be more interesting to follow since we have two top teams facing each other and since many people want to know whether Girona will continue to have good results in 2024 or it will start failing.
The odds between the two teams are almost similar and deserve taking the risk. I don't know what will be Simeone tactics but I think a draw will be fair for both and for Real Madrid as well

I will talk generally. Legal insurances have the right to fix a maximum damage that might substitute to one person depending on the initial budget he gave, the value of the item...
When you bypass this limit, you will be reimbursed eventually but you will lose a big parts of your wealth. Insurances used to rotate and use the money deposited there, otherwise what's the point of it if they just keep it in a cold storage if you can already store them yourself

Well, Brighton and Albion Hove were controlling the game most of the time but unfortunately for them, their domination weren't effective and they failed to score although the many shots fired and the several serious chances that were missed..
West Ham United were playing in their home, had excellent games and results against big Arsenal and Manchester United, yet failed to maintain this good form against Brighton.
I think Brighton deserved to win and missed for themselves an opportunity to equalize West Ham United on the number of points in the ranking.

There is many accounts which hold a big amount of Bitcoin on it. Some of these accounts have an owner which died, lost the keys to open it, holding for a better price, companies using it to avoid taxes and so on.
Laszlo spent a big amount of Bitcoin for something that worth it at that time and which doesn't worth it anymore. I would buy a normal pizza right now for 0.00045 Bitcoin which is equivalent to ~$20 but I will definitely cry it next years when I see that I bought a pizza for ~$200 or even more.

The red card of Remiro, the goalkeeper of Real Socidad, at the 36 minute of the game made everything harder for the team. It affected directly the strategy of the team. I call it the worst red card to be taken, the team lose their goalkeeper in addition to another player which will be substituted by the other goalkeeper and it is their striker Silva that went out to let Marrero join..
In this game, Real Sociedad were lucky to take a point at the last moments of the match, they were very close to lose it although they made more attempts to score, more than what Alaves did.

Valencia 3 - 1 Villarreal. Villarreal record isn't good at all this season.. They are trying to cope with Valencia but the latter made more serious attacks and they got 2 penalties, so it is obvious why they are leading and eventually winning.

If you want to analyse deeper the situation, you can see clearly that Newcastle had 2 big chances that was scored (100%) while Liverpool had 9 big chances and they scored only 4 of them so less than 50% of chances.
34 shots for Liverpool is just crazy to see, this shows simply that Newcastle midfield isn't controlling the ball very well there. This shows also that the defence line of Newcastle was over consumed with all theses pressures so it is normal to see Liverpool scoring 4 goals against them. 15 shots on target..Newcastle United have to reevaluate themselves after the third successive defeats and since Chelsea and Wolverhampton are getting closer to them and they risk to get far from any of the European competitions spots

Ancelotti real problem is getting a good forwarder in addition to dealing with injuries problem.
First of all, Carlo Ancelotti made a courageous step by continuing with Real Madrid rather than trying to grab the World Cup with Brazil. I mean getting it with such powerful team like Brazil is very feasible. It will need a lot of efforts and hard work to fix this team which performance is low for the moment.
Now the good forwarder option is clearly Kylian Mbappe and I think Real Madrid could easily bring him with a long contract deal to avoid the hassle of losing it in a couple of years.
Injuries problems should be avoided since unfortunately even if you have a good substitute in a position, these two players could be injured at the same time and the team have to choose another one to cover it or made some changes in the strategy. This requires some flexibility and polyvalent player(s) which isn't very obvious every time.

As the winter transfer window started today, here comes a big news but this time from a coach and not from a player. Carlo Ancelotti just extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026 which made the Brazilian national football team in a hard situation finishing the year without a coach nor good results.
This contract extension made also Zinedine Zidane in an awkward situation since first, his dream in leading the French national team finished prematurely after Deschamps extended his contract with them and now he lost a chance to train Real Madrid again. I think he could try or take the risk to manage Manchester United..

Considering the performance of both clubs in this season, their latest results, the fact that Liverpool is playing in Anfield, the long history between the two clubs where Newcastle failed to win away against Liverpool then I would say that Liverpool are by far the favourite to win this game and maintain the first position.
This round was tricky for Manchester United and Arsenal but I think the result in this match will be a clear victory for Liverpool.

Elon Musk just found Dogecoin as a funny and lovely altcoins comparing to the others, that's why he likes it. He might find as well that Dogecoin has many potential including a huge price rise in the future. Otherwise, Dogecoin is based in its active fans worldwide so it will survive thanks to them, rather than the other people getting involved for economical reasons.
I have big hopes in Dogecoin and consider it the most interesting cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

It depends how we see stability and define it. If you look around, there is nothing that is constant. Oil, real estates, bills, cars, food...prices increase most of the time. Even gold does not have a stable amount when we compare it to FIAT.
A car will remain a car, 1 liter of something will alway remain 1 liter, what change is the inflation. Thus, 1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin but since we do not use Bitcoin in our day to day activities then we have to establish a relation with dollars for example and then we have to assume the consequences like instability of the price since it is a normal thing.
Volatility in Bitcoin will remain until we use something else more stable than the banking system offers.

I agree with OP about not posting a picture of the poll to avoid influencing people before they cast their votes since they will definitely change their minds.

I voted for +$70k myself since I am optimistic regarding the Bitcoin price in the long term. I don't think the price will reach that level before November 2024 but after that I think it is possible. Even if my prediction was wrong, I am pretty sure in the future we will see this price and way more.

Juventus have to improve the number of goals scored in each match. They are winning most time with few goals and any mistake done at the end of the game might make them lose 2 points. They stay stressed most of the time to score a goal and to keep their goal clean until the last whistle.
I don't find that as a sustainable way to bring the scudetto home. At the opposite of Inter which is scoring more and playing more comfy. It is true they lost points in the previous game but this could happen to every team eventually.
These teams will face each other by the beginning of February and until then Juventus games aren't that hard to win while Inter will face Fiorentina then Inter then Roma, without counting Champions League match against Atletico Madrid shortly after it. This will give Juventus a slight advantage in my opinion because with the high rhythm comes injuries..
