Cristiano having a very good run right now, with goals in Portugal and in Alnassr in consecutive games, nice to see him replenish of faith, lets see how much time he can carry this fit.

When i see the alnassr, i cant believe how Lens let go Seko Fofana, he was their key player, and he is a great player.

I think to successfully fight the big four in Serie A you need to lead one of these clubs. Mourinho has already jumped over his head by winning the Conference League and reaching the Europa League final with Roma, but fundamentally the strength of the team does not change and it is difficult to count on such achievements in every season. Mourinho is clearly not the one who will sit in one club if he does not have the resources to progress. He is now 60 years old (many years ahead) and I hope that after working in Saudi Arabia (if it happens) he will return to Europe to lead one of the top clubs.

José Mourinho is getting near to Saudi Arabian more than any time. Since he couldn't have a good performance in Roma there's the possibility for this famous coach to lose his job in Serie A and since some Saudi team wanted to hire this coach even during the last summer. Now there is a higher possibility for us to see José Mourinho in the Saudi League.

I also think so and in my opinion it is better to avoid betting on this match, it is very risky to bet on an inconsistent team like Napoli especially since the betting market is very favorable towards them.
From what happened in Napoli's last few matches and also Victor Osimhen's inconsistent performance, everything is possible to happen in this weekend's match against Verona, and it is true that Verona's quality is not better than Napoli, but the consistency of a team is very crucial, and I try to avoid betting on this match, I think it's better.

The level of Brighton's current play prevents them from defeating or drawing Manchester City at home. Therefore, Brighton will not be able to keep Manchester City to a draw, regardless of how they typically prepare for their encounter against Manchester City in the week 9 premier league match. Brighton would want to keep Manchester City at least a draw, but Manchester City is at home and they have lost two games (not a good outcome), so they will be very motivated to win by any means possible. which is so possible.

I guess being Brighton right now is the worst timing they could have because Manchester City won't allow for another game to end with neither a draw nor a loss after losing two games in a row. This would be a result that literally nobody in their mind can imagine right now. Guardiola will make sure that this won't happen and yes, it is also a home game for Manchester City which obviously doesn't make it any easier for Brighton. It would need some negligibility on part of Manchester City in order for Brighton to have a chance like they did have against Manchester United at Old Trafford. But Pep knows how to sharpen their senses to prevent that from happening.

Most likely they need to adjust their position size - or at least maybe the amount that they are putting into bitcoin.. because maybe they put in too much in the beginning.. and sure they could also be in the negative if they front loaded at higher prices and then even if they continue to buy, they are not able to bring down their average cost per BTC below their current average cost per BTC.


Sometimes people conclude that they prepare for the bear season by selling, and sure, I am not really opposed for selling on the way up, but it can be a bit problematic to be selling on the way down.  And, another thing with selling is that frequently there are needs NOT to sell too much too soon.--- especially if you consider yourself to be in BTC accumulation phase, and maybe you don't really have a lot of bitcoin, so it would not even make a whole hell of a lot of sense to sell much of your BTC, especially if you are really early in your BTC accumulation phase.. .and only you (or each one of us) can determine much BTC that we believe that we need based on where we are at in life and other personal circumstances.

Of course, this will be a big match specifically for this week's competition. Milan started this season very well, especially recently, their performance has been very consistent. On the other hand, Juventus have high motivation this season, in fact they are currently number 3 after Inter. It cannot be denied that based on statistics, Milan will definitely be superior. But this is not a guarantee, because Juventus is also not a weak club. Sometimes they can also be on fire when they meet other top clubs. Moreover, if they win, they will definitely narrow the gap with the top position. This will not be easy either way, in fact it will be very tough if you look at the statistics. However, Juventus is sometimes not consistent enough, either because of the tactics they implement or because they are over-confident at the start.

I am not in the same phase of my investment journey as the overwhelming majority of the population, including members participating in this thread.  An overwhelming number of the world including members of this thread is either in accumulation phase or pre-accumulation phase.  Even though I accumulate from time to time, I mostly went through my BTC accumulation in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and sure sometimes it can be difficult for any of us to know where we are at in our bitcoin journey, but I doubt that it is going to be very helpful to attempt to do what I am doing when it does not really apply to what you likely should be doing. which is accumulating bitcoin and tailoring your bitcoin accumualtion to your own circmstances.

Andre Onana is a good goalkeeper, but he needs sufficient adaptation to improve his performance. His performance was good but he conceded a lot of goals, but I think he will be more adaptive from game to game. I'm aware that Onana isn't at his best yet, so I don't think people should have high expectations for him too soon.

Overall Manchester United is not in good form. Onana is bad, as are the defense, midfielders and strikers. If Manchester United really needs improvement, then the entire team must work hard to realize what the fans expect.

It would be nice to recall Zidane back to coach the club based on his previous performance for the team, i don't know if Madrid have included him yet as one of the options to replace Ancelotti but it would be nice to have him back cause he'll still make a difference in the team, however I don't think Zidane might be interested in coming back to coach his former team again cause he might be focused on wanting to coach the France national team, well theirs a speculation that he might be the next coach for Olympic Marseille however I feel it would be nice to see how another coach would perform at Realmadrid and Xabi Alonso is not also a bad option based on his performance at Leverkusen currently.

 Well Xavi has done a great job for Barcelona since his arrival but I think he's not yet up to the standards of Zidane, he's only achieved the league trophy but Zidane made his mark as one of the most decorated coaches in Madrid and Laliga he won about 11 trophies including 3 champions league trophy during his time as the manager of Realmadrid.

Following the fake news of Bitcoin ETF approval by Cointelegraph yesterday that made Bitcoin price surge to around $30k, there was  someone that jumped into the market with with over $600k only to realize it was a fake news and the market started dumping and quickly sold. Do you now that within 10 minutes he lost over $49k. These are the people that Bitcoin is risky for... they want quick profit.

Ten Hag is certainly responsible for his team's poor performance so far, but all players must also be responsible for their poor performance on the pitch. The fault is not only on the coach, but the entire team is to blame for the performance.

I remember there were several players who deliberately did not play at their best because they didn't like the coach. They played so badly that the coach was sacked for poor performance, it worked and I really wonder if that scenario was thought of by a handful of Manchester United players? If that exists, then I'm sure that in the end Ten Hag will be fired even though he managed to lead Manchester United to qualify for the current Champions League.

The following is a list of the highest paid players for 2023 and as we can see, all of them are filled with big names. In first place, of course, there is Ronaldo who took steps to join one of the Saudi league teams, namely Al-Nassr and he received a large fee of 200 million euros plus 60 million off the field. Meanwhile, Messi, who has chosen to join one of the teams in MLS, namely Inter Miami, is in second place with a fee of 135 million euros. The rest of the list of highest paid players is still filled with other star players. Talking about these two GOATs, of course the difference is almost 2x and I think if Messi agreed to join Al-Hilal last summer he would certainly occupy the first position as the highest paid player. But the decision to join Al-Hilal failed and Messi wanted more what his family needed and in the end he chose to enjoy life in MLS.

Actually for Arsenal I still believe that they still have problems in performance. Not that their performance is bad now but sometimes their consistency is not maintained and precisely when one defeat is obtained they have difficulty getting out of the slump which makes their performance can immediately climb and positive but when one defeat is obtained this makes them immediately down and makes the rhythm they build during the positive trend meaningless. This has happened in the last few seasons when the rise and fall of their performance has always occurred suddenly and indeed last season was the biggest in terms of impact.

Right now if Arteta can't finally solve that apart from the hurricane of injuries received then Arsenal will still be Arsenal as before where they will only be a team with tremendous improvement but on the other hand they are also difficult to be able to compete in the race for the championship even though they can do it but it will only be a spice that makes them only be below the number 1 position.

This season, Ligue 1 is interesting. It is more competitive, because the point gap among the teams is quite small. And PSG seems not too strong anymore, it is struggling in the top 3. Luis Enrique won't be easy to compete for the title, PSG is no longer in their best shape. Meanwhile other top teams in Ligue 1 is stronger to join the race of the champion.

Verratti already left PSG to Al Arabi. Abdou Diallo also joined Al Arabi. They move to the same team.
We can understand that they leave PSG because Luis Enrique didn't want them in PSG squad. I'm not surprised Verratti left PSG, but I'm confused why he didn't join a big team.

If Dortmund's goal was to win the Bundesliga, I think they could have done it. A number of talented players have emerged from the Dortmund club in the last few seasons. And Dortmund sold these players at a high price. Had they not sold these players they could have dominated the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich challenge for the Bundesliga title. The team would have been able to play well even in the Champions League. However, the Dortmund management probably has no desire to win the title. Like the previous seasons, Bayern Munich is the most likely to win the Bundesliga this season.

Maybe if Sancho goes to Juventus, he will still get a decent salary and maybe he will still get fame, although not as much as now. But if he goes to Barcelona, maybe he will get everything he wants, but getting a decent salary is impossible because this club has even cut salaries for some of its players. If Sancho is willing to get fame and titles, of course that will be a good thing for his career at Barcelona, but if he still wants a decent salary then he has to go to Juventus with all the problems that exist at the club every season. It is not easy to determine Sancho's fate at the moment and if he is more open and willing to apologize to Erik ten Hag then he will still be a Manchester United player.

Considering that Madrid have extended Kroos and Modric's contracts for this season only, I am quite sure that next season Madrid will no longer renew the contracts of these two veteran players. although in reality, Kroos can still be retained for at least one more season. But for Modric, he is getting older at 38 years old, even though I have never doubted his work ethic even though his performance has decreased as he gets older.

Modric is one of the most loyal players compared to other players, I have never doubted his performance and ethos, both with the club and the national team. that's why, if he ends this season. I hope that Madrid will give as much appreciation as possible and appreciate it. even though in reality, I am a Barcelona supporter.
IMO, if Madrid no longer uses his services next season, it is very likely that he will hang up his boots to end his career as a Madrid legend.
As for Toni Kroos, he is now 33 years old. he can still continue his career, at least with other clubs and teams. allso, considering that Madrid now has a young midfielder with potential. and at least, after getting guidance from two veteran players, these young midfielders are ready to move to the next level in their game.

Ange Postecoglou has made a huge change in the team after taking the Tottenham job. Tottenham are playing at a much more different level now compared to last season. They are able to play like this even though Kane has left the team. Because it has always been about team play. If you don't play a good football as a team then it doesn't matter whether you have a world class player in your squad.

What do you think about Tottenham's look in general of the season? Do you think they can really be a title contender this season?
