Chelsea finally made it to the semifinals after winning the match against Newcastle united. Playing at home was not an advantage for Chelsea because they conceded early to Wilson but Mudryk was able to revive Chelsea hopes after managing to equalize in the final minutes of the match. I think winning on penalties was lucky for them because playing in normal time they were able to put a lot of pressure on Newcastle united but couldn't score a goal to win in normal half time.
Chelsea got lucky to equalize towards the end of the match, it was a mistake from Trippier but mistakes are part of the game. Newcastle defended well and Chelsea dominated the game throughout the second half but didn’t find it easy to penetrate them. The mistake happened and Mudryk got the goal and Petrovic made some wonderful penalty saves that secured Chelsea a spot in the semi final.

Both of Chelsea and Newcastle are lucky, Newcastle can score a goal because of Badiashile's mistake, while Chelsea can score a goal because of Trippier's mistake. But Chelsea is luckier than Newcastle, so they able to beat Newcastle.
They both scored from mistakes but chelsea was more dominant and more in control even though they found it difficult to penetrate Newcastles defense. Malo Gusto coming on gave more attacking power as he is a natural full back unlike Disasi that didn’t contribute more to the attack. Gusto made some decent crosses which one eventually led to a mistake and a goal

We will see Liverpool vs West Ham in the next match, this should be Liverpool's game.
Will be interesting match and very difficult to predict, both teams are good attacking team and it’s not easy to conclude if Liverpool will win, i can’t say anything until the end of the game. All i can say is it will interesting and difficult to predict.

Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen are all threat and Liverpool’s defense is not too strong to hold them.

Assuming Liverpool will win, then the qualified teams are Middlesbrough, Fulham, Chelsea and Liverpool. My prediction, it's either Chelsea or Liverpool will get the trophy.
Fulham cannot be underestimated, they are good enough to challenge as well but Chelsea and Liverpool are the favorites to win or make it to the final if they are not playing against each other in the semifinal.

I think stable coins are amazing for people who live in developing countries, where fiat is much worse than usd or euro.

as you mentioned they are making "significantly easier for people and businesses to move, store and own " usd around the world.

However, I don't see their adoption growing that fast in the past years. Credit cards are still the number one option for me when paying something with fiat currencies.

Holding Stable coins is really amazing in developing countries where where majority can’t stand volatility of the crypto market, and it’s an easier means of owning dollars so they prefer to hold Stable coins as they wouldn’t have to worry about their assets losing value over a short period of time.

Holding stable coins is easier for people to store value especially for business purposes and it easier for people to understand it. Holding bitcoin is more profitable and that’s why stable coins adoption is far behind in the past years

I meant Coppa Italia.

Napoli lost by 4-0, Incredible result


This is a devastating result for Napoli, no one could believe Napoli could be Eliminated by a team sitting at No.13 of the Italian league table and not just eliminating them but also winning them with 4 goals margin with no reply is very disappointing. Despite bringing on the team’s best players they still couldn’t make any changes in the game.

The resignation of the former coach is still having effect on the entire team and the new coach is still yet to blend the team together perfectly as last season and it’s why their performance have dropped far too much.

Gallagher isn't the best player that Chelsea have in this season, there's no reason to keep Gallagher since they already have Palmer and Nkunku, so having Gallagher is just make Chelsea to spend additional money.

This should be a though decision for Chelsea, but they must to sell their players because they currently have a lot players at the moment.
Too many players in the team makes it difficult for the coach to pick his starters and with Nkunku and Lavia back in the squad it will be even more difficult for pochettino so it’s better to slim fit the squad down a little. Gallagher is the most improved player but not the best player in the team and i have noticed how he ghosts in matches either Caicedo or Enzo is absent but with the two present he is able to blend abd give more for the team. I don’t value Gallagher much because he lacks creativity and his style of play is just too plain. Other players will perform better in that position and create more chances for the team. Selling Gallagher would not be a bad idea, he would raise more money for the club.

Of all players i want Chelsea to keep Madueke and give him a chance to prove himself because i can see talent in him, talent that can develop in a few years. But i think the club will eventually loan him out.

Lewandowski needs to move to Saudi or whatever place faster than he imagine, Barcelona doesnt suit good for him this season and he is becoming old. I think is a win-win transfer for everybody, for the player for Barcelona and for the Saudi league to count a new high value striker.

And how would it benefit Lewandowski if he moved to Saudi Arabia? You said he needs to do that, but what is the benefit for him? He isn't playing well in Barcelona, I agree. But he would not gain anything if he moved to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo did, because money is everything to him. But there are people with a heart in their chest, listening to it.
Money is not everything and after what happened to Ronaldo at Manchester United during his second spell at the club despite giving everything for Manchester United they were still not satisfied and treated him badly so all Ronaldo wanted was peace of mind and i am glad he found it in Saundi. Peace of win + More money is his reward and i am also glad someone United criticized is doing well for himself and his new club, he is the current highest goal scorer in the league.

Lewandowski is old and soon his career will come to an end and we all know when a player is old they begin to criticize them and so leagues like saudi league, China league and other less competitive leagues is where they go to end their careers because they can’t keep up in European leagues anymore. Lewandowski will be valued more in Saudi or any of the above mentioned leagues he will even earn more money but since you said money is not everything he can choose to join other leagues or teams that will pay him less doesn’t necessarily need to join Saudi league if you think money is not everything.

Most footballers opt for Saudi league so they can earn higher wages because they know they can’t play long anymore so they want to accumulate more money before retirement. There will be no work for them anymore after retirement so they just have to earn more for their families not for themselves.

The right words were used here haha. Manchester united is a poorly coached low quality side; majority of the players are not world class and the coach is terrible at his job too; underusing the players and failing to get the best of the squads. Embarassed out of the carabao cup and champions league too.

An humbling against West Ham in london and a sack to ten hag will make many fans excited tbh
With a good coach a team doesn’t need a lot of world class players to perform well, check out the likes of Aston Villa and also Girona in the Spanish La liga do they have any world class players?  No and they are performing well winning matches. Manchester United have players quality enough to fight for a spot in the top 4 and even challenge for the title. The coach is having a problem blending the team perfectly that why they are not consistent. 

Perhaps if a new coach is introduced he could make a difference because in my opinion Ten Hag is doing a very terrible job.

If Ten Hag is sacked today which coach will Manchester United go for right now that is going to perform the magic and bring immediate success to the club? Ten Hag should not be sacked now let him finish the season. If am a coach and you are asking me to come to Manchester United at this point of the season I won't come.
There are some coaches that are still unemployed and the team will find a decent replacement for Ten Hag if he is sacked which would be the best thing to do if you ask me. Even if Ten Hag is given five additional years he will still accomplish nothing at the club, someone who couldn’t even earn the team a spot in the champions league knockout round while playing against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. It’s really a disgrace for the club.

Some people think the bitcoin price is already high, and even if they invest in bitcoin currently, they won't be making a high return. They will end up going for shitcoins without knowing that they are setting trap for themselves. If you invest in bitcoin now and are ready to hold it for a long term, if you can do so, then you will be getting a high reward from bitcoin as well, and you will have peace of mind because the risk involved in bitcoin is less than the risk involved when investing in shitcoin. A shit coin can crash at any moment and all your money will be gone. Some shit coins are created just to scam investors, and if you are looking for quick money, then you will end up falling victim.
You are right a lot of people think this way, they think because bitcoin price is high they won’t be able to realize any reasonable profit but I believe those people don’t know much about bitcoin and don’t know bitcoins potential and capabilities that’s why they think shitcoin will be more profitable. It’s probably because they lack knowledge of cryptocurrency. shitcoins can be profitable when at their earliest stage of development but they are not safe investments for any individual because they can crash and become dead and worthless at anytime and that’s why it has more risks, hence the name Shitcoins. Unlike shitcoins, bitcoin can never be a dead project instead it is the master driver to all other coins, it determines the movement of the price of all other coins so why choose to invest in a coin that is inferior to bitcoin and expect more returns and less risk.

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
Both teams this season have produced great attacking numbers to go along with their great defense.
But I hope this is a good thing, as it will lead to the best quarterfinal matchups in history, assuming the favorites go through this round.
I don’t think all games will be boring, they might not seem tough but a lot of games here will be interesting like the Napoli vs Barcelona is not a bad fixture, both teams are not at their best but they will both give us a good fight. It is just as you said Inter vs Athletico Madrid is the best fixture because they are both good attacking teams with good run of form so far and they seem to match each other’s level perfectly.

The Quarter Final and Semi Final will be more interesting after the best teams have qualified and starts to face each other head on. Imagine a game of PSG vs Real Madrid in the semifinals, will definitely be a must watch match. Let’s hope all the favorites emerge victorious.

Villarreal team performance was not good, Villarreal team lost by a wide margin while fighting against Real Madrid. Most of the time in this match Real Madrid was in control, I can say from the equation that 60% of the ball was in favor of Real Madrid and the remaining 40% of the ball was in favor of Villarreal team. And Real Madrid attacked the goal post the most and here too there is a wide gap between the two teams. Real Madrid had 22 shots on goal and Villarreal had 3. So there was a huge difference between the two teams on the field of play.

Real Madrid was just so good against them, they couldn’t show anything at all and the better side just got more goals. Madrid was in total control and went 2 goals up before the end of the first half, Villarreal was able to put one back not too long into second half and we all thought it was game on and we might see a comeback but Madrid showed how determined they were to top the league they were outstanding and the scoreling proves they can do better.

We still need to see the outcome of the game between Girona vs Alaves and see where the outstanding performance puts Real Madrid. If Girona wins they will still retain their first place and Madrid will be second place with 2 points behind Girona.

AC Milan had a flashy and strong win. They get these kinds of victories from time to time. Milan started the match quickly. Tijjani Reijnders scored Milan's first goal in the third minute. Reijnders draws attention with his play in the central midfield this season.
They dominated the match and they were the better side so the deserved the win. It could have been more flasy if Pulisic’s fine curler attempt was to have scored but he was unlucky and hit the crossbar. They missed couple of chances to increase the lead but it was a brilliant performance from them.

18-year-old young defender Simic came on as a substitute in his first match and scored his first goal. It was a perfect start and I'm sure it was a great feeling for him. This match looked like Milan was showing signs of a comeback.
Definitely a great feeling for the youngster and a perfect debut, the whole Milan fans and players were happy and cheered him, everyone was happy for him. I believe it will be a boost for him and we hope to see many more goals from the youngster.

It was a great match defensively by Manchester United, The red devils didn't give away many big chances. They had some opportunities to counter-attack in the second half. A good stratigy allowed them share the point with liverpool.Contrats to the united for the draw and be the first team to come away with a point from Anfield this season in the Premier League.
Manchester United seem to be more careful when playing a bigger club that’s why they didn’t give away much chances and that way they always seem to play better but they still need to work on their attacking and finishing and also they should keep a consistent performance when they are faced with smaller opponents. In my opinion I think Liverpool should have performed better so they can maintain the top spot and probably lead till the end of the first round.


Mark my words.

This will the last year of Guardiola at Manchester City-

He will take a break after imho.
LOL… I hope it is. Despite winning the league multiple times he would testify that the premier league is a very challenging league with lots of dramas and surprises, he has done alot for the club though and have lifted almost all the trophies they compete for so it would be best for him to resign for City.
 And probably manage Chelsea next Grin

So City gave up on two points, nice. Smiley
Now Arsenal have to beat Brighton and United do something good for the first time and play better against Liverpool. There's an open path for Gunners, I don't really care about Aston Villa. They won't be here forever anyway. The only threat is Liverpool for now after City self-destructed.
Everyone was surprised, i couldn’t watch the match so i followed up online and after City was two goals up i just concluded the match was over and City had won but I guess I forgot this is the premier league, the league full of dramas and surprises. City giving up two points in Etihad Stadium to Crystal Palace after going two goals up is a really a thing of surprise.

Arsenal had the chance to increase their lead when they were first place but failed and lost a matches to Newcastle. Brighton cannot be underrated at all but Arsenal needs to utilize this opportunity in case Manchester United surprises us today.

I hope you didn’t invest due to FOMO and i hope you are aware of the risk involved in cryptocurrency because it is not a get rich quick scheme. Also, hope you researched properly on the best choice of wallet and how to securely store and safeguard both your private key and your coins because you are responsible for them.

Afraid of what exactly? A goal they luckily scored at 88 minutes, it was a home game for them, I expected them to even have more than that goal and expected Marseille to go hard on them to equalized or had a goal initially but I was disappointed and there incompetent cost me $420 from my bets. It was so painful that all my over 1.5 goals or draw came as predicted but Brighton couldn't lunch more goals as I expected and you think they will eat Arsenal like a raw meat, hell no. We have come far to fall into their pit this time around.
A goal luckily scored you say? It doesn't matter how a goal is scored all that matters is that it was recorded on the score sheet. Mistakes are also part of the game and when the pressure heats up mistakes happens, i didn't watch the game though but i noticed Brighton have not been at their sharp best recently and they are a bit inconsistent. They played at home and needed to win the match anyhow anyhow so a one goal lead was enough for them.

I think Arsenal lost to Aston Villa has made many of you to ridicule the Gunners but Aston Villa are just a stepping stone that tested the waters of Arsenal. Watch out how Arsenal will avenge that into the next team they have match with because that mistake cost our standing in the top 4. Meanwhile, Liverpool are already ahead and running on lowkey, I'm impress by their recent performances but Arsenal will soon come back and take that place but this time stronger.
Arsenal should not be underestimated even though their performance have dropped a bit. Aston villa is strong enough to challenge any team in the league right now seeing how they defeated Manchester city should send a message to everyone not to underrate them. Arsenal still have a stubborn team to play on Sunday and they cannot be underrated because Brighton has also proven to be a strong opponent. Arsenal needs to make use of this opportunity to take back the first position because Liverpool will be playing against Manchester United which is a big match even if Manchester United is in poor form they can be a tough opponent for any big team.

I've read so many threads where people assert that they sold or intend to sell an asset just because they want to invest in Bitcoin, while this might present the person as someone who believes so much in Bitcoin and even went to the extent of selling an asset just to invest into it, is it the right thing to do?

Despite being one of the most valuable assets in the world, selling other properties to invest in bitcoin is not the wisest course of action. We should not ignore the risks involved, even if we all know it has a great potential to increase in value over time. Even cryptocurrency experts will advise us not to invest money that we cannot afford to lose, since selling property to invest in bitcoin already indicates that you are investing money that you cannot afford to lose.

And I guess this is the reason why a lot of people can't hold their bitcoin for a while before selling it off in times of minor challenges.
Indeed, I don't think someone who can sell a property to purchase bitcoin can hold onto it for very long because they would likely sell it the moment they encountered a small financial setback. These individuals can't hold onto it for a long time especially when the price is declining, they will panic and sell off their investment because they invested what they don't want to lose.

Imagine he knew all this by the age of 9? I can sense that he can do more in the future and more technical than bitcoin. A lots of users doing crypto arent really old people butt some are quite young and still on their early phase of life. They are lucky to be exposed with this kind of environment unlike before that to learn bitcoin you must deal with it and none are really helpful about it.

His parents likely doing crypto too and teaches their kid.
This is a sign that bitcoin will become even more popular and powerful with time that more countries will accept bitcoin and adopt it as well as it will legalized in many countries, time is all we need. The development of bitcoin as been massive but we don’t see it and get surprised everytime we witness something of such as a young kid teaching others about bitcoin, we might think bitcoin is still far behind but it gone far beyond our expectations.

A lot of young people are exposed to bitcoin technology and they are really lucky to have been exposed at an early stage. It is also good for parents to teach their children about bitcoin so it won’t be hard when they grow older.

The ball is in the court of Victor, he might decide to extend his contract or leave for another club. He recently stated that he has put his issues with Napoli behind him and that he has forgiven them for the insult he received on their social media platform. If he is still happy in Italy, I think he would sign a new deal, otherwise, he might consider leaving because many clubs can give him a more lucrative contract than what he would be offered by Napoli.
Is Victor Osimehn happy in Italy? If you ask me I would say Last season he was so happy but i can’t say the same this season, Napoli’s performance has dropped drastically and it has affected his performance as well as Kvaraschehlia’s and the scandal that happened also contributed a lot to all this. He might have forgiven then but how certain are we that they won’t repeat the same thing when things turn out bad again in the future. When he makes his decision we will know if he is happy in Italy and if he still wants to stay and fight for the club. The offer is very tempting but i hope he makes the right decision for himself

Osimhen coming to Chelsea is not visible, people are only pushing that because he like Chelsea club as a kid but you and I know what is inside a business. Even as an adult, you may like something but the professional and career comes before anything and you might not considered such deal.
Visible or not Chelsea desperately needs a striker and not just any striker a world class striker, the whole club is aware of this already and they are considering a lot of strikers though but the Nigerian forward will definitely suit Chelsea better. If Osimhen really wants to leave and Chelsea has enough money to buy him then it will be a done deal even though it will not be easy as it seems.

I Just saw an update from Fabrizio Romano stating that Victor Osimehn is about to be handed a new contract which will make him one of the highest earning players in the history of the team and new deal will be valid till 2026. This is sad news for Chelsea if Osimhen signs this contract because it will be even more difficult to sign him to Chelsea.

Group F has been very exciting so far. We are in the final minutes of both matches. Milan have just got ahead against Newcastle by making a huge comeback. But still PSG can finish the group in 2nd place despite having the same points with Milan in the live standings. PSG must be really grateful for that equalizer now. If Dortmund win the match PSG are just over.
Newcastle gave it their best but i guess it was not enough to be able to progress to the next round and it proves that they inexperienced in the league. They did their best and it will be difficult to notice they are first timers. I was more surprised to see them perform in the hottest group in the competition and until the final minutes it was difficult to predict the team that will progress to the next round along side Borrussia Dortmund.

I thought at first that PSG was going to top the group but they failed to perform to expectation, they were even lucky to have qualified to the knockout stage and the equalizer just saved the day for them. I am trying to picture how PSG would feature in the Europa league if they had lost the match.
