Agains Inter Milan failed to take advantage of the existing momentum when dealing with the relegation team, against Genoa it should have been an opportunity for Inter Milan to take over the top of the standings from Milan, especially in another match Milan also got a draw against Udinese, actually Inter Milan played quite dominantly in that match. However, poor finishing made them fail to get full points, even though they still have 1 game to play but if Inter Milan continues to drop points in important matches, of course it is not impossible that Milan will be able to easily get away from chasing Inter milan.
AC Milan and Inter both failed to maximize their chances of getting full points in their last match which had to accept a draw. AC Milan should have won that match as it was the best chance to lead the table by a few points off Inter and Napoli, but they missed it. But fortunately Inter also failed in other matches.

To be honest, now Napoli can take advantage of the failure of the top two teams in the Serie A standings if they can win the match at Lazio. Napoli could have taken over the top of the table from AC Milan despite the doubts for their victory but there are high hopes that they must end with a win.

The draw that is obtained by Milan and Inter Milan of course opens the opportunity for Napoli to increase their position, but the problem now is, will Napoli be able to maximize their chances consistently to win?
Moreover, the opponents faced by Napoli in the next 7 matches are big teams that have the potential to make it difficult for Napoli, Lazio and Milan are two big teams that Napoli will face in the near future and if Napoli can get 6 points in these two matches it will certainly make the position of Napoli on duo Milan.

PSG vs Saint Etienne and i have to says for Saint Etienne it took a miracle to win in this match because during this season PSG were very strong at their home ground and unbeatable until now and seems PSG will play with full of power because so far there is no key players who got injured except Ramos which is not PSG main player so obviously this match will belongs to PSG
PSG looks like they will return to winning ways this week after they suffered a crushing defeat to Nantes last week, last week defeat to Nantes didn't change PSG position at the top of the table at the moment and I think with a difference of 13 points and have 13 games left of course It's hard to imagine PSG slipping again and losing the Ligue 1 title, the match against Etienne will certainly be the start of PSG's revival to continue to add points, especially at this time Etienne is one of the clubs that has quite bad performances in the league, so it's likely that PSG will not have difficulties to beat them even without playing the main squad.
543  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia cut off from Swift is fantastic opportunity for bitcoin on: February 26, 2022, 12:19:09 PM
I'm reading many articles explaining that Russia shall be cut off from the SWIFT global interbank payments system, as a sanction in response to its invasion of Ukraine. That means it would be impossible to make bank transfers between Russia and most other countries.

I see this as an absolutely fantastic opportunity for BTC.
If you can"t use banks, just use BTC and be happy.
With the closure of SWIFT access, of course it will make it very difficult for Russia to carry out both trade activities and any international transactions with other countries, due to sanctions and also pressure from other countries on Russia, of course it will have a bad impact on the country economy later, now I think that NATO countries are starting to try to shut down Russia economic activities, and it will automatically make Russia weak like America did by prohibiting Russia from using the dollar as a tool for international, so I think bitcoin and crypto may be the right solution and also a shield to withstand the economic war carried out by NATO countries.
544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia's approval of BTC on: February 26, 2022, 12:08:48 PM
Apparently they're working on it — but don't run around celebrating just yet, because it doesn't mean that it's already guaranteed to happen. And if it does happen, it could mean that they really are just going to legalize it, not necessarily use it themselves.
All the news about Russia's agreement to btc still has not found a bright spot, they are only making plans, and there is no certainty, what is certain is that they are currently at war with Ukraine, which makes all investors affected by this war, such as Chelsea club owner Roman Abramovich who suffered a share loss of 9.6 trillion due to the heated impact between Russia and Ukraine.

Previously Russia had planned to hold a parliamentary meeting to discuss the legality of bitcoin in their country and also find a solution to the differences of opinion that occurred between the pro-bitcoin parliament and the Russian central bank which rejected bitcoin, but I think the discussion has been delayed due to the current conflict, However, I suspect that if Russia is subject to economic sanctions from NATO countries and as a result of the invasion right now America has prohibited Russia from using the dollar as a tool for its current import export transactions, so it is not impossible that Russia will use bitcoin or other crypto in conducting international transactions.
545  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin likely won't recover until 2025 on: February 26, 2022, 11:56:05 AM
I don't mind if bitcoin won't recover until 2025 because that means we can still have the opportunity to collect more bitcoins from now until the recovery takes place later. We still have at least 3 more years to try to get more bitcoins and I'm sure if the price moves up and down more, we can profit. We can save profits in bitcoins until the recovery phase comes again and we will have a chance to sell at the next high price.
Now is the right time for us to collect as much bitcoin as possible, because with the current price correction of course we can get bitcoin at a fairly cheap price, we all know that bitcoin investment tends to be more profitable for anyone who dares to hold on for a long time, so as you said it doesn't matter if we have to wait until 2025 to see the bitcoin price recover, if indeed later it can give us a big advantage.

Maybe PSG said to Mbappe that they were ready to pay whatever amount he would like to earn yearly. But I have heard that he still declined the offer of his team. Because as many people mentioned before, it is not all about money for Mbappe. Real Madrid are already ready to pay a great sum to him as his salary. It is about an emotional thing actually. Mbappe has dreamt about playing at Real Madrid since his childhood. And there is a big opportunity for him to have this. Why would he turn it down now, right?

Until now PSG are still trying to keep Mbappe, but Mbappe's desire to leave PSG does not seem to be changing anymore, so far PSG have tried several times to offer a contract and a high salary and even if he are willing to extend the contract then the salary will be higher compared to what madrid is currently offering, but I think playing for his favorite team has been the reason he turned down a high salary offer from PSG, indeed we see many footballers who move to other teams just because of money but in the case of mbappe I think this is not the case about MONEY but PASSION.

If so far no contracts have been signed (which nobody really knows to be honest), I think all parties involved around Haaland and Mbappe are closely following the situation. It is now said that Manchester City is in the pole position for Haaland. At the same time Mbappe received an outrageous offer from PSG, that's at least what the media say. As Real Madrid wants to "park" Haaland in Dortmund for one more season, but Haaland doesn't want to do that, I think Real would do everything to not be left behind with empty hands in the end. They would rather increase their offer for Mbappe once more if it turns out that Haaland is going to Manchester City.

Both players are currently in the same condition (full of mystery), so far they are mainstay players from their respective clubs and have an important role in every match they play, but in this case mbappe condition is clearly more complicated than haalaand, and dortmund have also said that all decisions are now in the hands of haalaand, and they have so far respected haalaand who want to go, while mbappe has kept his wish a secret and that makes PSG quite annoyed in my opinion, because i think in this case PSG risk losing mbappe for free , while dortmund will certainly receive some money if haalaand leaves later.

Inter Milan missed the chance to go to the top of the points table. They shared points with another weaker team. The team is in the Genoa relegation zone. And against Inter Milan it was easy to assume that all their players would play the role of defenders and try to draw while playing defensively. Inter Milan needed to change their match strategy. After playing one match less than AC Milan, Inter Milan is now 2 points behind.
Agains Inter Milan failed to take advantage of the existing momentum when dealing with the relegation team, against Genoa it should have been an opportunity for Inter Milan to take over the top of the standings from Milan, especially in another match Milan also got a draw against Udinese, actually Inter Milan played quite dominantly in that match.

Another incredible match and victory in the last added minutes. Thus, Arsenal are in a clear 4th place (they have two games in reserve relative to United) and by the way, relative to Chelsea, they are only 2 points behind. Quite unexpectedly, given that Chelsea has been in the contenders for the championship for a long time and Arsenal in the group of losers.
lol at the group of losers part Cheesy
In fact Arsenal in the beginning of the season was doing very very poorly, at some point Arteta was very criticised and about to be kicked. Later Arsenal did a 180° turn and they are few points behind Chelsea which dropped a lot of points at the same time.
After seeing Wolves leading, I didn't expect them to grab 3 points, maybe 1 by the end of the game but they did it at the very end. Quite interesting but they shouldn't count on this every time..
in that match, arsenal was lucky enough to make a comeback at the end of the match, although actually I expected the match to end in a draw Grin, if we look at the match arsenal actually had many chances to score, but it seems their problem now is the attack line who are less creative and I think if Arteta can't find the right solution for their attack line later, of course it will make it difficult for them to win against other teams who have solid defenses.

So far, I do not see any changes that say that Barcelona is returning to its previous level and that it will be able to compete with Real Madrid. Maybe it started to stabilize a little, but in my opinion it is stabilization at the level of a strong average team, but no more. I think that now every Clasico will be held from the position of Real Madrid favorite Barcelona underdog.
I think is hard target for Barcelona competed with Real Madrid because left many points realistic for Barcelona reach 4th standing position is good achievement by Xavi Hernandez, they have late for La Liga trophy although still have several match later but I see Barcelona still not anything change, keep inconsistent performance make it difficult how to make Barcelona as competitor for Real Madrid on La Liga tittle. Now keep focus with Barcelona how reach 4th standing position and exactly need above that position maybe third or second place to make easy qualify UEFA Champion League next season without with play off way.

It seems that due to the incomprehensible situation in Atlético, Barcelona will still be able to take 4th place. By the way, I don’t understand what kind of qualification you are talking about - Spain, as a representative of the top 4 championships, has 4 tickets to the Champions League directly without qualifications.

Athletico journey to reach the top 4 will of course be very difficult if you look at the performance of their current rival team, but still there is still a very good chance for Athletico to end the season in 4th place, what you say is true if Spain has 4 tickets to qualify go directly to the champions league according to uefa rules, but if for example the la Liga team this season wins the champions league and european league, of course their quota will automatically increase later, so for example if madrid can end the season in position 1st la league and won the champions league, as well as barcelona ended the season in 4th place in la league and won the european league, wouldn't they be able to give tickets from la league to the teams below them?
Because if they win the champions league and european league they will get a special path to directly qualify for european competition next season.

As at recent, i heard the US sent about 7000 soldiers and am sure its has nothing to impact on the 100,000 soldiers Russia has mounted while the NATO combined forces too can sound a little significant but only if China could join the war against Russia is when i think more hope can be emancipated, but even as at now, China remain mute about the issue. I hope at the end it will cost Russia than it will pays them for haven taken such a move.
I actually hope that both countries can contain their emotions more to avoid a lot of destruction on both sides, from some media that I read, now more than 300 people have become victims of the Russian invasion and most of them are civilians. I think if NATO also joins ukraine of course the war will get worse in my opinion, even though nato has a desire to help ukraine but still i doubt if they do not have their own interests in this matter, I think it is time for the UN to act to establish dialogue between the two countries and at least the UN can stop a bigger war from happening.
552  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull Run in Bitcoin on: February 25, 2022, 05:48:40 PM
I consider that the current condition of Bitcoin is still not near a bull run like the bull run period that had occurred from 2020 to 2021. This can be seen from the price movement which is still stagnant between $35k-$45k. I predict Bitcoin price movements this year will tend to be limited to the $35k- $50k range.

we really can't expect the cycle that happened to be back every year, I think there are many factors and it will take time for us to see the bullrun cycle will happen again, 2020/21 is the biggest bullrun cycle ever in crypto and even bitcoin is able to hit a record the highest price so far, this happened because of stable global economic conditions, in addition to the large number of institutional companies that adopted bitcoin to trigger the price increase in the market, while for this year we can see if bitcoin movement tends to continue to experience correction so it is very difficult to predict price movement in the market.
553  Economy / Economics / Re: Justin Trudeau's Crackdown Will Make Bitcoin and Cash More Popular on: February 25, 2022, 02:15:36 PM
Multiple occurences of such crisis will actually crash the cash as well because now Russia is invading Ukraine so Ukraine people can't be able to use their banking system which literally destroy their fiat, they can survive with the gold but its not really convenient to have 1KG of Gold than having 1 BTC sitting in your wallet.
In conditions and conflicts like what is happening in ukraine, of course fiat money will be difficult to use, besides if the conflict continues, of course the economy will also have a negative impact and it is certain that banks will stop operating in war-torn countries, as you said, when there is an emergency of course storing and carrying gold is a risky thing, especially when we have to take extra care of it when an evacuation occurs, but if we have BTC in our wallet, I think it will be easier to carry as easily as we carry cellphones in our pockets without any suspicion from anyone.

Barcelona had a great round in the Europa League. They couldn't get the result they wished for in Camp Nou. And many people thought that their job would be even tougher in the second leg. But Barcelona showed a much greater performance here and erased Napoli. I know that there was still not a very big score difference at the end but it could have been like that too. Because they were leading by 4-1 actually. And Barcelona's next opponent is going to be Galatasaray. It is official now. I already am sorry for Galatasaray in that round.

Barcelona played very well against Napoli even though they were held to a draw by Napoli at Camp Nou, in my opinion, from the result of the match against Napoli, we can already see who will be the winner in the match between Barcelona and Galatasaray.

What's more is that Galatsaray has had a very bad performance lately, we can see it from the results of Galatsaray's matches in the Turkish League.
Some football fans of course make Barcelona the seed in the match against Galatasaray later, I think it's a natural thing after seeing their game against Napoli yesterday, but frankly Galatasaray is not a team that should be underestimated, even though at the moment their performance is bad in the league, but I believe that Galatasaray will surprise barcelona when they play in the Europa League, we can't doubt that Galatasaray are a dangerous team in the Europa League and you can see in the group stage that they haven't lost a single match at that time.
555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 25, 2022, 01:55:54 PM
Dortmund now can concentrate 100% on the Bundesliga. They have been eliminated from the Europa League. They only played 2:2 against Glasgow Rangers. The defence was not good, especially in the second half. They could have conceded even more goals. The offence was good, but the defence is not good enough for an international opponent. But probably enough for the Bundesliga.
In the Bundesliga alone they are still less competitive than Bayern Munich. Yes, sometimes there are good teams in the local league, but when they get out of their comfort zone, they can't compete with other teams.
In the Bundesliga Dortmund are always one step behind Bayern Munich, they cannot surpass Bayern Munich. Yes, although on several occasions they can replace Munich in lifting the trophy, but that happens very rarely.
The last time dortmund won the bundesliga was in the 2011/12 season and dortmund became the last team to win the bundesliga other than munich in the last 10 seasons, for the last 10 seasons bayern münchen has continued to show its power in the bundesliga and I think in the next few years münchen will still be able to do it, I doubt if dortmund will  be able to break the dominance of bayern munchen if they continue to be a club selling star players.

Have you seen Barcelona's performance against Napoli? I think Xavi did his best to win the Europa League title. Since it is not possible to win the La Liga title, now the man of Barcelona. They are far behind Real Madrid. So now their goal is to win the Europa League title and qualify for the Champions League. And looking at their performances yesterday I thought they could reach their goal.
De Jong, Torres, Traore and Aubameyang are all playing well. I'm just looking forward to seeing Fati's performance now. Because the Barcelona management is considering Fati as a replacement for Messi. Can Fati be like Messi? What do you think about this?
Barcelona game began to develop under Xavi coaching, although not quite consistent in every game but in my opinion now Barcelona have experienced a significant improvement in their performance, de Jong, Torres and Traore seem to have started to find chemistry in building cohesiveness and of course this makes them even stronger and It's easy to apply the strategy instructed by Xavi during a match, but even so I think there is still a lot of work to be done by Xavi at this time, including improving their defense which every time the game always concedes a goal.

I think the only team that is comfortable now is Manchester City. How could it not, they are already 5 goals ahead of Sporting. And in the second leg I see the impossibility that Sporting will be able to come back and turn things around from Manchester City.
What will be an interesting match in the second match is Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid. The battle is still going on here.
The big win that manchester city got in the 1st leg of course made their move in the 2nd leg a little safer, but still I think manchester city will field their best squad later in the face of sporting, I think manchester city which is now one step closer to Round big 8 of course will not underestimate sporting in the 2nd leg later.

I think Manchester United task is clearly quite heavy in the 2nd leg later, even though they play at home against Atlético later, I don't think it will be too profitable for Manchester if Rangnick doesn't improve the weak defense at this time, I think Manchester United biggest weakness at this time this is the defense of those who often make silly mistakes.

558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 25, 2022, 09:16:38 AM
The closest match in Serie A this week is AC Milan vs Udinese. Last week they dropped maximum points, after surprising Salernitana to hold them to a draw. Now they must have come with the motivation to prevent it from happening again when they are arrested by a team from the lower classes. Last week they were still lucky, because both of their competitors experienced the same thing. If this week Milan do it again, I'm not sure they will have the same luck

The draw against Salernitana was really very disappointing because at that time Milan actually controlled the match, but a weak defense made Salernitana comeback and almost beat Milan, I think now Milan should learn from their mistakes against Salernitana last week and focusing on strengthening its defense later, the match against udinese is not an easy match for milan, because so far both teams have a fairly even head to head when facing each other and if milan wants to stay safely at the top of the standings, of course, no matter how difficult the match will be milan must be able to get 3 points to maintain their position.

hello everyone, sorry to take up your precious time, I hope you all are always safe from any bad conditions....

according to the title, I want to ask what do you think will happen if this war gets hotter and widens (Russia and Ukraine war has started)

do you think ongoing sporting events will be postponed (damn.. I have a lot of betting plans on European leagues)
The tension that occurred between Ukraine and Russia of course triggered considerable fear for us, because the impact of course will greatly affect global economic and political conditions later, besides I think that with the war, of course there will be a delay in local sports competitions which are indeed currently being carried out in these two countries, while for european sports competitions (such as champions league, european league, or conference league matches) of course there will be a change in the venue.
Btw now the president of UEFA is reportedly going to hold an emergency executive committee meeting to evaluate the situation and take the decision to move the venue for the 2022 champions league final and also look for another location for the match between the teams from the two warring countries.

Arsenal are now fifth in the table with a 2-1 win over the Wolves. They have won the last 3 matches. However, mathematically their position in the points table is now above Manchester United. Because Manchester United has scored 46 points in 26 matches. Arsenal, on the other hand, have scored 45 points in 24 matches. If Arsenal can win the next two matches, they will be 5 points ahead of United.
I think we will see Arsenal in fourth or third place in the table. Manchester United and Tottenham are not in a position to qualify for the Champions League at the moment. Their performance is very irregular.
The victory against Wolves, made Arsenal closer to reaching the zone of the Champions League, although currently the position is under Manchester, but Arsenal still have two postponed matches that they haven't played, namely against Tottenham and Liverpool, in my opinion now the competition to reach big four will be tougher for arsenal and other team,  moreover arsenal has several matches against big teams including postponed matches and if you look at Arsenal schedule, I think it's not impossible that arsenal will lose some important points later.
