~~ Snip ~~
As a result of Barcelona's defeat at Girona's home ground and Real Madrid's victory at home against Cadiz, Real Madrid can now celebrate their title in La Liga this season. And for now the competition will only be more visible in the fight for second place because Girona is only ahead by one point in the current ranking over Barcelona. With only four matches remaining, of course Girona must try to win all of these matches in order to finish in second place this season and I think that will not be easy enough for Girona.
Barcelona failed to delay Madrid celebrations after falling for the second time at the hands of Girona. This was a very exciting season for Girona, and they managed to take over the runnerup position in the standings. Xavi was of course very disappointed with this bad result, his ambition for revenge failed miserably, and their position was evicted. No one thought that Girona would be able to beat Barcelona for the second time this season, because we know Barcelona is favorite ahead of the match. Madrid has now succeeded in locking in the La Liga trophy, even though this season matches are not yet completely.

La Liga only has 4 matches remaining and the competition for the runnerup position will still be interesting to follow, Barcelona still has hopes of overtaking Girona again because they are only 1 point away. Meanwhile, Xavi must improve his team defense line because it looks very porous. Barcelona future journey looks more difficult than Girona, because Barcelona has to face Sociedad and Sevilla. Xavi really has to look for the best solution, to be able to get up and finish in runnerup position.

Barcelona surprised everyone yesterday what an inconsistent performance, wining that was overturned because misunderstanding and poor game pattern, although no matter how they try they would have not make any difference, it will would have just been a temporal setback on Madrid side but I wouldn't have stop Madrid from lifting the trophy, Realmadrid was very determined to be crowned the championship of the spanish laliga this season and they deserve it.
Xavi team should change their game plan if they want to move up a bit, girona seem to be improving and they are not ready to give up their position for anyone, Barcelona needs to build a formidable team, the team is very unprepared for trophy that's why xavi has to improve in his managerial skills to up the team performance.

                    Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham

Liverpool was able to take the lead in the early minutes of the game, and the goal was scored by Sallah on the 6th minutes after he got an assist from Gakpo. It seems Liverpool have become a bit serious in this match than their previous matches with the way their game composure is today. Robertson also registered his name on the score book on the 45th minutes before extra time with a rebound which was taken by Sallah, as the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario punch out Sallah's easy ball. Luckily enough for Robertson, he was at the right place at the right time.

Tottenham seems to have decline in form, because any club that they play with recently , always win them. They have poor game pattern and don't have the strength to hold on the ball for long. Maybe in the second half, the game will turn to their favor.

Liverpool has proven to doubting minds that they can do it again, obviously it is practically true that their opponent is not in a good form, if it were to be before Tottenham would have not allowed this kind of winning in progress by Liverpool, although changes they say is constant, atleast they will be proud to lose to a big team than losing to a smaller side, currently it 4:2 in the scoreline, looking at the situation at hand liverpool will not give a chance for any unexpected circumstance to occur.
It seems Tottenham will end this season in a disastrous manner, it is unfortunate that Tottenham is not doing well but the season is at its end point so they should be preparing for a better next season.

No matter how we see it, Lens is better team than lorient, in this match between lens and lorient, the higher percentage was for the home team, short on goal was 6:5 but lens was able to make use of 2 of their chances but lorient failed to utilize any of theirs, so lens has show how superior they are, the first half of this match ended in a baren draw but in the second half lens made a great difference by winning the match 2:0, the odd of this two teams said it all before the match started, I did not say that odd gives us accurate prediction but I know odd repeats itself and most times targeted odds comes out as we predict it, though football is unpredictable but we can use past odds and events to predict them, congratulations to lens for the winning and 3points.

Torino 0 - 0 Bologna

I don't know what's happening with Bologna, in the last few games they haven't been able to win, they've had a lot of draws, although they're not losing, see this:



It is a very worrying scenario for Bologna, mainly because Bologna next opponents will be:

Napoli
Juventus

Genoa

They are opponents that can cause Bologna to lose points and probably not get a place in the European Champions League, just when there are only 3 games left for the league to end, they who had an excellent campaign this season, managed to reach the top 4, for That's why, in my opinion, they shouldn't be losing points in games they could win at this final stage of the league, it would be disappointing if they don't get a place in the European Champions League. In today's game they drew against Torino, which this season is a disaster, in the last few games they haven't managed to win in any game, that's why I was hoping that Bologna would be able to come out of the game against Torino with a victory.

Exactly with all the remaining combinations, if Juventus will win in Rome (very hard to manage with the actual strength of the team) it will be mathematically qualified for the Champion League even if they will lose the 3 remaining games.
If they will lose the game, they will need to make 6 points in the remaining 3 game considering the worse possible combination for them.
I heard that there will be 5 teams to qualify for the next season in UCL. If it is true, Juventus shouldn't be worried although they can't get points in the match against AS Roma. Juventus will win 2 matches after the match against AS Roma at least. They will play against Salernitana (matchday 36) and against Monza (matchday 38). I believe Juventus will stay in the top 4 of Serie A standings.

However, I think Juventus can get 1 point in AS Roma home. If we look at the results of the latest matches of AS Roma and Juventus, most of them are draw results. AS Roma isn't in a good performance in the last few matches. I think it is because AS Roma is too focused on Europa league match. Unfortunately, AS Roma failed to get optimum points in few matches in Serie A.

I also agree that Juventus will qualify for next season's European Champions League, but I'm wondering what can be expected from Juventus in the European Champions League with this squad and coach? It seems to me that Juventus won't be able to get through the group stage of the European Champions League if they get a place next season, with Juventus management insisting on keeping things as they are, I don't expect anything big from Juventus, unfortunately. I can't understand why it's so difficult for Juventus management to make changes

Juventus qualifying for next season champions league league is not negotiable, in area of what to expect, lets not forget that there are teams that are perceived as champions league teams and Juventus is one of them, yea, Juventus has not been up to expectation this season but the fact is that we don't know what will become of them next season and it is better for us to watch what and see what their performance will be like next season, I think Juventus may be adding some quality players in their team next season with the effect of this in that team things will really change.
I think why Juventus management is buying more time for the the coach and th players is because they are patiently waiting for changes and good result next season.

The match between hoffenheim and Leipzig didn't end well for many fans, Leipzig was the favourite to win that match but unfortunately the red card shown to their player in the 72minutes in match destabilized them, the post exclusion of one person caused them the match, despite how the home team has under performed this season, we wouldn't see them as weak as not utilizing the opportunity of one man down, we saw how impressive the last match of Leipzig and Dortmund ended, so if there was know red card setback on Leipzig they would have won Hoffenheim, but as a team with a red the tried to end the game on a 1:1 draw, however I think Leipzig should work on their lapses to avoid this stuff happening again.

Girona's performance this season is impressive. I thought Girona wouldn't be able to remain in the top four of La Liga since Real Madrid overtook them in the first position in the La Liga table. But Girona was able to handle the pressure and remain in the top four of La Liga. Girona just needs to win one match in their remaining five matches in the league to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League competition.

Honestly speaking Girona really tried no matter what anyone thinks about them because they took everyone by surprise because initially they conquered a lot of big teams in Spain before Real Madrid humbled themand if not that Real Madrid didn't give Girona any breathing space when they were topping the table, Girona would have still been a title contender but Real Madrid killed their morale after winning them back to back and those winnings destroyed Girona's optimism for a league title so had it been Real Madrid allowed Girona to have some gaps just like Bayern Munich allowed Bayern Leverkusen to top them with some gaps then Girona would have utilized the opportunity but when Real Madrid couldn't give them a chance they lost that zeal and Real Madrid took the mantle and afterwards leads the top table with some reasonable points and of which they are almost at the verge of winning the la Liga title.

The best for Girona is to fight for the Champions league next season because a lot of teams in the la Liga before Girona has not been able to achieve that so Girona making it to champions league next season will be a good achievement for the team considering when they just came and to make such impact in the league is an applaudable achievement for the team.

Yea, I agree with you to an extent, girona performed above expectation this season because if we are to consider some fact, girona did well compared to other season, the game of soccer is not easy, so any team that did great should be praised, no doubt Madrid quenched the fire in them but I still give it to them because it wasn't an easy thing, although I never expected girona to win the league, they can be one of the performer but lifting the trophy was not my expectation for them.
For now Realmadrid is formidable force in the laliga and I don't see any team that can contend with them presently in their league.
I will continue to praise girona because they were able to prove fans wrong and that has given every team the mind that hard work pays.

Tonight premier league Is Luton town 1:1 Everton full time, it was was really a though one for Luton town if not for their goal keeper I think it would have been 1:3 against them, however despite being draw with Everton I think they really need to win their remaining 2 matches to enable them not being religated to championship, while Everton are sure of escaping religation zone.
Luton Town could have escape relegation if they have won the match; although they tried to get a draw against Everton that is also trying to secure and free themselves from relegation zone, but I think Luton Town will be relegated because they have missed their chances of maintaining their ground in the premier league even though they tried very well to survive.

Everton was suppose to win this that match but the inconsistency in the team has made it impossible for them to win, everton is really on lapses, this is not the everton we use  to know, the everton that use be a nightmare for Chelsea, I have come to understand that once some set of players are no more the team will be meant to experience some kind of problem to the extent that if care is not taken they might be relegated, everton is really having a difficult moment, although luton have more shot on goal but failed to utilize it, thats why it is advisable for a team to make use of at least 85% of there chances, in actual sense it is not a bad result but the problem is luton dont need it at this time.

If people are addicted to drugs, they will be destroyed. If people are addicted to gambling, they will be destroyed. A drug addict will always think about how to manage money because of his addiction and will act like a madman if he can't get money and he will misbehave with his family. On the other hand, when a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, he loses his rationality and tries to manage his money like an addict. So I will say that it is not possible to be addicted to something and do it properly.
Anything addiction is bad because it would have led a lot of people to there grace but in specific mostly drug addiction, it has a way of affecting our health, if possible might lead to death, we should mind what we are getting addicted too. And out of all the addictions I think gambling is much better no much risk and the only risk is that the victim can end up selling is own property if the person manages to learn to manage his or her gambling habit then the person can recover the properties stolen.  Everything depends on how you manage you activities matters a lot.

Addiction is addiction anywhere, just imagine when you are addicted to a particular TV programme you will be keeping time for such program at that become a problem for you because if you dont meet up, you will feel that you have missed an opportunity in life, some people food got burnt because of TV programme, even constant pressing of phone has ruined homes and if you look at it very well those are addictive behaviours, the problem with we humans is that we dont know when to say no or its ok, we should not be controlled by what we do rather we should always be on top of the game to help stop addiction.

PSG still has plenty of potential, we certainly haven't forgotten about the quarter-final first leg match against Barcelona. PSG were defeated in the first leg of the quarter-final against Barcelona, but in the second leg they secured the semi-finals by beating Barcelona by a large margin at their home ground. PSG lost their semi-final first leg match against Dortmund but it's definitely a good thing for PSG that they didn't lose by multiple goals. Winning by two goals at their home ground is not difficult for PSG if they play at their best. Manager Luis Enrique is certainly planning with every player in the team as well as providing opportunities for qualified players in every position. PSG should only play the normal game well, if they play the normal game correctly, the final will be guaranteed for PSG.

PSG can indeed make a comeback but I think they achieved that after they made a very big advantage, where one of the Barcelona players made a blunder that resulted in a red card. If at that time Barcelona had continued to play with 11 men, I don't think PSG would have qualified for the semifinals. This is clearly different from their current condition because it is not certain that something like that will happen again. However, even though they lost 0-1 in the first leg against Dortmund, PSG still has quite a wide opportunity because they will be playing at home in the second leg.

It is possible that PSG can make a good difference in the next match because returning legs at home is always played differently but their things they should avoid, PSG that I know conceives goals much even in their league,it is very difficult for PSG to keep a clean sheet, although there is still chances for PSG making it in the next leg but let keep watching what will become of them.
Dortmund will not allow PSG to dominate them easily this time, as we know this is the last lap of the semifinal so any team that found themself here can not allow themselves to be an easy crack, so PSG should prepare for a strong fight it wont be an easy event, though a winner must emerge but I don't see that match ending by just normal football session, it might likely end in a penalty.

Most times we are caught in between placing our bets on our favourite teams to win and not there present form, this action according to analysis shows that it's one of the reasons some persons don't win a sport bet, no matter how hard they try, a team that's not in form or getting the results shouldn't be on your sports betting slip, because they might continue the poor run of form and hurt your ticket, a friend once adviced me never to put my favourite team on my ticket, unless they are in form, am a Manchester United fan but most times I bet against them as long as my ticket is concerned I don't have a favourite team.

This is the mistake most people make in betting, don't bet with such emotion that your club that your that's not in their peak will win when you already know that it is impossible for such to happen as you planned, gambling should not be a game of favouritism, being a fan of a particular football team does not matter, what matters is current form the team you are selecting to win a bet.
That's why I don't bet on my team, I only bet on other teams, even though am convinced that my favourite team will win, I wouldn't still bet on them because it will look like am supporting a team at the same time waiting for my bet to end as I expected it and thats not bet in reality, as a gambler there are things you should avoid doing and those things are chosing a team based on you affiliation with them, lookout for current performance, league position, number of games won before you can bet.

Presently leverkusen is not a match for Roma, we all saw what happened yesterday, they dominated the match keep the ground hitting till the end of the match, the result of the match was what i expected, Leverkusen has impressively performed very but in their league and europa and any team facing them at this period will have prepared because too, the force of the team is much to encounter any team at the time, be it Realmadrid, I will not mention Bayern because they defeated bayern, shot on goals was 4 against 2 and it favour Leverkusen, they utilize 2 out they 4 created by them.
I have checked and I have concluded that Leverkusen will go to the final unstoppable, this wining yesterday has continued their plan to end this season comfortably, Leverkusen has been a remarkable football team this season, with all their display this season I think they deserve the good result in this game.

Chelsea appears to have a very promising future only they their new found strength didn't get to show up in time as they needed this much earlier and they would have had  an opportunity to finish even at the top four position on the table which ofcourse wouldn't be considered a bad one and hop for a better form next season anyways just like Tottenham next season avails another opportunity for all teams to get better.
Chelsea just need to reshuffle their squad and in my opinion coach Pochettino should not be replaced even though he failed to bring Chelsea to the best position in the standings, but he is very suitable at Chelsea and of course changing coaches will only make the adaptation process more troublesome and time consuming. what needs to be done is to add quality players both in their front line and in their back line, Chelsea must perform brilliantly next season, at least at the start of the season they can play as well as possible to get the top position so they can continue to increase their self-confidence.

Chelsea have been quite good in their last few matches, after they experienced a lot of chaos at the start of the season which made them fall into the bottom position and fortunately Pochettino brought Chelsea to the best place at least in the top 10 of the current standings, Chelsea must be able to overhaul many of its players so that can be an even better team next season, I think that's all Chelsea management has to do to get quality players to be able to lead Chelsea to a better future.

Exactly boss, most time the problem Chelsea management have is inpatient, sometime a team can stay for a year or plus before they can blend but in Chelsea case they want result immediately and things are not done that way, players getting to know each other is a gradual process and it takes consistency for this to be actualized, what Chelsea needs as a team is time, if we look at their  current performance I think they deserve accolades despite that inconsistency still exist in the team there is improvement.

As for next season Chelsea will not be a push over, that's why the club owner needs to give them time to bring the expected result, yea quality players are needed in the team but the can't perform miracle, they will be needing time too.

To some Chelsea fans they'd think they're playing UEL today but let's allow them take their shot against Tottenham that's if  the Blues can find a way to win this game and the remaining games at hand, who knows they might qualify for the Europa League next campaign.
We all know that Chelsea is nowhere close to being in the same level as Tottenham Hotspur this season and I believe Spurs are the bigger side in this encounter, talking base on their current form. Tottenham did their best against the Gunners but it wasn't enough to get all 3pt but going against a side that's not up to expectations is going to be an easy game for Ange Postecoglou but on second thought Chelsea are weak not while they play against the bigger teams in the EPL this season, you see them play out their best like they're among the top 3 teams on the log (if they go head to head with the big teams). I think is never going to be a walk over game for Spurs, it is either a draw or Spurs will use this game to make up for the Arsenal game by getting all 3pt.

After Arsenal disgraced Chelsea by beating them 5-0 Chelsea will play against Tottenham today again, well this game is not going to be easy for Chelsea because Chelsea is facing Tottenham, we all know that Tottenham is a strong opponent that Chelsea can not defeat easily and I can not even predict that Chelsea can defeat Tottenham because Chelsea is not a complete team at this point, Chelsea midfield is now like a tree that can not stand on it own because Enzo Fernandez that is performing in the position will be out from the rest of the season and he is the one that can make Chelsea stand well in terms of attacking.

Although Chelsea has Palmer, Gallagher and Caicedo who are going to play the position but in terms of giving assists and attacking I think Enzo Fernandez is better than them, the last time Chelsea played against Tottenham, Chelsea won the game and defeated Tottenham by winning 4:1 but I think the reason why Chelsea win the match is that Chelsea is playing against Nine players of Tottenham after Tottenham two players got a red card in the game, at this second match I think Tottenham will not let them have the same mistake again and they will play very well and make sure they defeat Chelsea or end draw.

It was really a disaster for Chelsea in that match against arsenal but let see what happens today, in previous 5 meetings between Chelsea and Tottenham, Chelsea has won 3, Tottenham 1, 1 draw in 1 meeting, both team encountered a setback when they met Arsenal, we are looking forward to see what their result will be like but Chelsea is in the position to win this match, although but teams are inconsistent but Chelsea has been better than Tottenham lately.
Your reason for choosing Chelsea as the favourite to win this match is genuine because those red card of Tottenham will affect them much but let's see how it goes, I believe cole palmer will take advantage of this absentees to make a difference today, Tottenham is really in difficult time,lets watch if chelsea can utilize this opportunity.

Girona away game is a difficult away game. If Barcelona gets 3 points there, I'm almost sure they will finish the league in second place. It doesn't matter if they finish second or third, they will still be in the UCL somehow, but for Girona, the higher they finish the league, the better. I'm sure Girona will play with all their strength to win this match. If I were to bet on this match, I would bet on Girona.
Girona are the most impressive team this season in La Liga, considered one of the mediocre teams, but this season Girona was able to surprise us all by being a La Liga title challenger with Madrid and Barcelona, since the beginning of the season Girona surprised us with their performances that were consistent to win so that they could be at the top of the table until the middle of the season,  But the defeat to Madrid this season a snowball that continued to have an effect on Girona's performance in the league, after the defeat to Madrid in week 24, since then Girona has continued to experience inconsistency in their game that made Madrid leave Girona by a considerable margin until now.

From the beginning of the season girona did not have a target to win La Liga so they were able to perform quite impressive and carefree in playing this season, after coming out of the status of title challengers of course playing in the Champions League next season is a realistic target for Girona at this time, this week girona will face Barcelona, and I think it would certainly be a great achievement if it could end the season above Barcelona,  But if not, of course they should be proud because at least they can end the season in the Champions League zone next season.

Yea, I will agree to the fact that during the early period of this season, Girona was very excellent in their performance but suddenly everything changed, with their performance this season I will rate them high because it wasn't expected, although it is normal for this kind of praises when a low class team performed beyond expectation, I will also say that girona as team was playing without purpose because at time they started flopping, the match between girona and Barcelona will be a win for Barca despite how difficult girona may prove to be in that match it will end in the favour of Barca, it is very obvious that Barcelona is facing hard times but they will not take it lightly with girona, at least girona has made an impact this season and thats very remarkable.

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?

Gambling has it exciting stage which when you win,note this wining can make you go for more that's why it is advisable for a gamble to know when to take a break, when we talk about passion I don't think people are passionate about gambling, what they call passion is addiction, you can say you have passion for smoke, that's insane if some make such statement, op you said you get excited once you start gambling with your phone, lets be realistic thats addiction in the making and you should watch it too because that can never be passion.

If we can tell ourselves the truth, the major thing that motivates every gambler is wining or Knowing that there is possibility of making money through gambling, you can only have fun once you didn't bet on a particular match, aside that there is know fun when your money is involved and know profit yet.

A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day. The image below says it all.

source

Quote
This specific image led some Nigerians to ponder why an elderly woman would engage in betting. Questions arose, with some wondering whether the woman aimed to elevate her blood pressure or if she had used shared contributions for virtual betting.

There are places where it's  normal and a regular thing seeing elderly women gambling in a gamble shop but in this part of the world it is uncommon and for that it seems weird seeing such an elderly woman seriously gambling and that's why many persons are pondering about her engagement in betting.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.


I won't be happy for many reasons, as an elderly person there things she should consider which is her health and I believe that her health should be her major priority, standing in a bet shop for a long period of time can trigger some some health issues, as we know already gambling is an emotional thing and elderly people are suppose to avoid anything that involves emotion because emotional stress can worsen high blood pressure which is the health conditions of elderly people.
It will be a great concern to me if I notice this habit from my mother because indirectly she will not be having money for immediate needs again and this will be a great danger for us her children, losing funds alone will make her sick, as an elder person, her immune system is no longer strong so if care is not taken, anything can easily attack her, I will definitely try my best to stop her if I find out that she is doing this.

one beauty about playing as an home team is that with the support of your large fans and because you don't want to let them down, it gives this extra energy to put in the fight and every cheer is a damn encouragement that pushes you to go the extra miles. Dortmund made great use of this and outplayed PSG throughout the first half. Hakini wasn't able to subdue the young Dortmund left back and dembele wasn't doing well with his passes and it made it all deficult for mbape to have a comfortable opportunity at the attack. The good thing is that it's just a difference of one goal and going into the PSG home, if they will be able to cease the opportunity effectively and score two goals ahead of the Dortmund team, maybe PSG can think of securing a spot in the champions league finals but as it stands now, Dortmund is the only team that's at an advantage above the other three teams in the semi finals and if I'm asked to give my honest take on what the finals might look like based on what played out in the first leg, we might have a dramatic turn of event where Dortmund might end up facing Bayern munich in the finals cause from intensity point of view, both Dortmund and Bayern munich played far better than PSG and real Madrid.
The 2nd semi final went down yesterday between Dortmund and PSG and the match was one thrilling one to watch as Dortmund real surprised us yesterday with the way they performed quite greatly. Dortmund were able to get the lead to take them to the 2nd leg as leaders in the match and this is a big feat for them as they move to the 2nd leg.

 ⁠Borussia Dortmund were able to capitalize on the advantage of their home ground and were able to get the lead and only goal in the match yesterday. This win for Dortmund gives them i mean the German League, the advantage of them wanting to reach the final as Bayern who are the other team were able to end their match in a draw. Well all semifinals will now head to the 2nd leg to know who makes it to the finals.

 Well as it stands PSG still have the ability to get to the finals as they can also be able to use the home advantage and turn things around for their good. Seeing psg have a come back in France will be real an exciting scene to watch and it’s quite possible because this PSG side are very determined. ⁠A German Final is quite possible and I can tell the German fans real want to see that final happening again. Dortmund have more advantage of being able reach the finals because they have the lead but the issue will be how much they’ll be able to fight in the 2nd leg.

Though PSG was away but that wouldn't make any difference, Dortmund performed very well yesterday, no team should be underrated in the game of soccer, Dortmund has not been steady in their league but everything totally changed during this champions league semi final game against PSG, I was thinking that dortmund will find it difficult in this match but the expectation was different, immediately score the goal the continue to defend it till the final minute.

PSG is expected to utilize home upper hands as you said but sometimes this events doesn't happen as we expect it, in that second leg we should be expecting PSG to win and prevent extra goals from Dortmund while Dortmund will be looking for more goals, the truth is that once PSG allow Dortmund to get more goals in that match there is nothing again that will be left for them, so the need carefulness and more seriousness to get it right this time.

I think Munich should be favourites today against Madrid especially if they will play at the Allianz Arena, so I think Munich have more motivation than Madrid to win the first leg, my prediction is maybe Munich will win by a narrow goal margin from Madrid today.

Well, hehe, I lost the bet even knowing that a draw was the most likely outcome
I could have followed my reason instead of the emotion of the game  Cheesy
But it was worth it to watch another great game, and even more so that nothing is decided, the second game promises to be as good as it was against M. City, again
Real Madrid had their plans well planned against Bayern Munich to execute a draw rather than a loss match. I said a few days back that Real Madrid will try to have a draw match rather than a loss match against Bayern Munich. Having a formation of 4-4-2 will help them to execute that plan of a draw match against Bayern Munich, maybe in the second leg, they will change to a favorable formation(counterattack) that will make them win over Bayern Munich. Although I doubt if there will be a change of match formation of 4-4-2 for Real Madrid. The same 4-4-2 formation was what helped them to have a draw match against Manchester City in home and away. Sticking with the same formation will help again to win Bayern Munich since it's hard for a team to break their defense line.

I do not think that the plan for Realmadrid was to draw that match it could be there second plan but wining was the plan, Realmadrid was performing very prepared, they did want to see anything as an excuse, though bayern on the other wasn't an easy crack for Realmadrid but I sighted very interesting something in that match, Realmadrid has a team that will make more difference in the next 6 or more years, the team work and eagerness to score a goal in the players is something very extra ordinary, i heard people saying that home does not matter in football, yea this may be true for a smaller team not for a team like Realmadrid, with what I saw Madrid displayed in that match, it is very obvious that Madrid is going to the finals unstoppable, bayern defense has been studied instead of Madrid not to score they will keep commiting them for a penalty.

I recently created a post asking if I should buy bitcoin now or wait for the dip, and majority of the response I got from the post, advised that I should buy now rather than waiting for the dip due to its volatile nature, and I'm satisfied with this response and I'm willing to bear the risk.
Reason for all these questioning, I have a dream of becoming a long term bitcoin holder but, dreams aren't achieved with words alone, an action is needed for the start up, so I have decided to sell one of my less used phone for the purpose of buying bitcoin.
I'm really eager to purchase my first bitcoin in satoshi.

As you have decided to sell you phone to achieve this, I will tell you that once you finally sell your phone, just do the needful by immediately purchasing what triggered you to sell your phone because money is not friendly to us, once we have money in our possession if we don't make use of it at once for the purpose we may end up using it for something that we will regret later.
There is no specific period that an investor is advised to invest, some people will say buy when the price dips but the truth is if you wait, the time may come when you don't longer have the funds to invest and again no one can confidently predict the exact price of Bitcoin at anytime and be sure of it that's a no no, so invest now and keep your portfolio safe.

The miners are the main beneficiaries of the high bitcoin fee; that's also the reason why some people speculate that they might have a hand in this BRC-20 and rune on the Bitcoin protocol.
 
Some also said the high fee contributed to helping them hold their bitcoin rather than selling it off since the fee was way higher. It's enough of an excuse for them to hold on instead of risking paying that high fee.

No matter how we look at it, I don't see any advantage to the high fee for any Bitcoinner; it's just the miners revenue increasing.

Miners are strictly the beneficials of Bitcoin fee, if I may say, this is a good advantage for hodlers to continue holding because you cant be using a high fee in transacting a small amount instead of doing such the best option is to hold to the fullest, I have checked it closely, is it that the system can not accommodate many transactions at the same, if yes, why was it not programmed in way that it can accommodate more transaction at the same time, this is more reason why some persons doubt if Bitcoin is really decentralized digital investment, if miners can wake anytime and increase fee then something needed to be done to correct the continues reoccurrence of this because this alone can discourage more investors.
