I am also a Chelsea fan tonight and forever but with their poor conversion rate i don’t think they stand a chance in this game even though they are very good at playing stronger teams but i hope they win this match because i don’t want to see Arsenal win this title at all.
If I may you I will not identify myself has Chelsea fan, because the Chelsea performance right from the beginning of this season everyone knows that Chelsea performance is very poor when you are there make proud of them. Chelsea can definitely receive so much pressure from arsenal tonight, because I don't have even single hopes for Chelsea that they can able to win this match.
~~~~

Of course I think Chelsea is not that good and strong team now but they have performed well in the past but they haven't become strong yet because those players are not in Chelsea now. But of course the Chelsea game against Arsenal tonight is where Arsenal have the most chances and will put a lot of pressure on the Arsenal team. Because if Arsenal can win today's match in the Premier League, they will be able to go much further. And Arsenal will definitely go into the field with this thought because if they lose in the Premier League now, it will hurt them the most to win the trophy. That's why Arsenal will perform well against Chelsea today and have a strong attack and in this attack I believe that Chelsea will not win but Arsenal will win. But it has to be accepted that with Arsenal Chelsea will try hard enough to win, if Chelsea mix up their game total they can apply enough pressure to beat Arsenal, so Arsenal will have to perform well to win.
Well it seems the game tonight will be filled with goals because it's just five minutes into the match and arsenal have already taken the lead and they are well composed and prepared for this game although there is something about Chelsea and big teams when it comes to their matchup, they seem to play a little bit above their standards when it comes to a match with the big boys.
It is still 1-0, and the first half is over. Arsenal were able to dominate the match and won possession, and Trossad early goal was able to make a difference in the match and gave Arsenal the upper hand of winning the game. I don't think that Chelsea will be able to s ore any goal tonight  because Palmer is not active.

Jackson lost a free header goal which came directly to his head but due to La k of experience, he was unable to convert the chance into a goal. Arsenal needs to win this match to enable them be on top of the table until Manchester city plays their own match. I expect to see more goals in the second half from Arsenal, amd Arsenal need to take advantage of the weaknesses of Chelsea to score more goals.

Atletico lost very unexpectedly, but they were lucky that Athletic Bilbao also lost points in this round. In a head-to-head match, Atletico will not miss their chance to beat the guests, this is too important a match. Maybe the defeat in the Champions League affected Atletico, it’s difficult when you have to stop one step before the semi-finals, especially since they had a victory in the first match.

But they need to move on, so that have the opportunity to play in the Champions League again next season. I don’t expect the team that reached the quarterfinals to be left without a Champions League, so I only expect victory from Atletico.
Atletico Madrid failed to stay away from Bilbao  after a shock defeat to Deportivo Alaves, in the previous match, Bilbao failed also won full points from Granada but in my opinion it was Atletico's defeat that gave an advantage to Bilbao, because they could still keep a distance so they still had the opportunity to be able to chase the Champions League zone, if Atletico won yesterday's match of course Bilbao's chances were increasingly closed to get to the Champions League zone Because of their wider gap, what you say may have some truth, the defeat to Dortmund certainly made the mentality of the Atletico players down and we can even see how Alaves can break Atletico's concentration when Atletico dominate the match.

The defeat of Atletico Madrid, I think now again opens up opportunities for Bilbao because now they are only 3 points apart, so I think next week's match between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will be decisive for both teams in winning the last ticket to the Champions League next season, I think Bilbao should be able to take advantage of next week's match to be able to ensure a Champions League ticket next season for them because honestly I want to see how great it is Bilbao if the Champions League next season.

I think that Atletico Madrid was on fatigue, and their exit from Europa might also have affected their performance as they lost to Dortmund in the quarter finals second leg in Germany. This must ha e been the cause of their defeat on Sunday. I believe that Atletico Madrid will take their next match very serious with Bilbao, especially now that their qualification to the champions league next season is at stake.

Bilbao also wants to go to the champions league next season, and they have seen this match as an advantage for them to make their dreams come through, if only they can defeat Atletico Madrid. It will really be worst for Atletico to lose this match because if they do, Bilbao will move to the fourth position on the table with goal aggregate. It will be an interesting match to watch.

If you look back at the beginning of Bitcoin, you can definitely see that the price of Bitcoin was very low. And from there it has risen to $73K at present. So think about how much Bitcoin price has changed to touch the all-time high at the moment. At present the coin is so expensive that every investor has invested their money here.
the price of bitcoin can never be constant or continued to accelerate, the price of bitcoin is something that deals with endurance and also have to do with endorsement, so that is why nobody knows the real problem of bitcoin, and how the price get skyrocket, but people will think that if bitcoin price starts to increase it will continue to increase but I don't think that it happens in such way in cryptocurrency price increment.
Yea of course, bitcoin price cannot just keep moving up, because of its volatile nature, and this is where some new investors get it wrong, by thinking that bitcoin price is bound to keep moving up without correction or dips. The way bitcoin is designed there is a bear market and a bull market, this alone should teach a lot of people that the price of bitcoin is to move up and down.

However, demand and supply have a great impact on bitcoin price based on economics. This is what a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts have discovered and that is why it is advice to invest in a long term, so that no matter how the price movement of bitcoin goes, you will always benefit for being patient and hodling for longer because the price of bitcoin increases with time-line.

We know Dortmund are more experienced in this competition and because of that they are not an opponent to be underestimated. Even PSG's size certainly won't be able to win easily and instead Dortmund will put pressure on them. I think the difference in squad depth will not apply in the Champions League and the most important thing is the mentality of each team itself.

Dortmund proved to be the champions of the hellish group at the start of the season and stopped other strong teams such as Newcastle and Milan. Now they will face the same opponents as in the previous group and I am sure they will have no problem getting a ticket to the Champions League final.
The UEFA Champions League is not some random average competition, it's top and require the best among the best to win the title. Luis Enrique and Edin Terzic are both good coaches, they know the weaknesses and strong grounds of their opponents and they ensure they're accumulating points and meeting targets every season. Borrusia Dortmund are experienced, also is Paris Saint-Germain. These are the dominadable clubs in their perspective league and we hoped to see their very best performance in the UEFA Champions League this season.

I think that Paris has never been in such a favoring draw for the semi final and I am not underestimating Dortmund here,it is just that they have not the same quality players as Paris does and based on this I doubt there will be any surprise regarding which team will qualify for the final.I also think that Paris has the best chances to be crowned as Champions League winners for the first time in their history as they look the team in the better form compared to all the remaining teams in the competition.
Last season, we saw how a new club won the champions league for the first time in history, and if PSG can also win it the season to put their name in the history book of UCL, it will be nice that a different club won it entirely, and not same old clubs. But how will this be possible when we still have Real Madrid in the competition, and I don't know if PSG will be able to win them.

Real Madrid is always a hard nut to crack for any club that is playing them, and that is why I don't think that PSG will be able to make history, because Real Madrid focus is more on the champion league than any other league, and they are desperate of winning it this season by any means necessary. We know that, Real Madrid prefers to win the champions league than any other trophy and that is why they have kept the club in the standard that it is since onset.

Chelsea to defeat arsenal? Is it not Chelsea that we all know? No. I don’t think that will happen, Chelsea can not defeat arsenal in this match, my thought on this match is that either it end draw or arsenal defeat Chelsea, arsenal is on a good shape than Chelsea, that is the first thing we should look among the both teams, although Chelsea knows how to play against big teams like arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, but we should look at the performance of the team, even though Chelsea end up their first match against arsenal draw , this time around it’s going to be different because arsenal are very focus on this premier league now because it will be shameful to see them not winning this season title.

And also I heard that Chelsea midfield player ( Enzo Farnandez) will not be playing today because of the injury he had after Chelsea played against Manchester City in FA cup semi final, and to be honest if Enzo farnandez is not among the Chelsea midfielders in today game, Chelsea will suffered in the match, because whenever Chelsea is playing he is the one I use to watch his football, he knows how to control game and attack the midfield opponent, if Enzo did not play in this match, let just say it’s over for Chelsea because arsenal will win the game.

This is a derby, and besides, Chelsea have not been so bad in recent matches, and if something else doesn’t go according to Arteta’s plan, say if Chelsea scores an early goal, then anything can happen. Arsenal are now in better shape and the importance of victory for them is now much higher, it’s hard to deny, but this does not mean that Chelsea will so easily give them victory. Pochettino is also fighting for a place in the team, if Boehly does not see progress, he will want to change coach.
Chelsea is in the process of improving squat to end the season well, hopefully they can perform well in this match because Arsenal also need a win to maintain their points so as not to be eliminated from the race for the Premier League title this season. If defeat strikes then there is a big chance of their hopes  will disappear because what we know is that Chelsea just slaughtered Erverton last week so at least Arsenal can be more careful in the next match, anything can happen because the Premier League this season is very difficult to predict.
If Chelsea wins or lose the match, they have nothing to lose, but if Arsenal loses this match the chance of them becoming the title winner this season is at stake. This is the main reason why Arsenal will do everything possible to make sure that they win Chelsea in order to have all three points for them to top the table, until when Manchester city plays their match.

Chelsea is not a club to rely on, they had the opportunity of winning City in the FA cup semifinals but they gat no striker, and their inexperienced strikers could not make use of their good chances. This is why I don't think that Chelsea is capable of winning Arsenal tonight.

 Forza Inter!!
Inter were able to defeat Milan for the sixth time straight in their derby and I have to say Simeone Inzaghi's men deserved it. Even though they currently don't have competition for the title this season, they don't want to relent and this game yesterday decided that they are the Serie A title winners with 17 points clear of second placed Milan with five games remaining.
 Milan were not at their best performance yesterday and you could see them struggling to make good use of the little chances given them as Inter were not just attacking, they also had a firm grip on their defense.
It wasn't enough for Milan to lose out of the Europa league tournament, they went ahead to draw to sassuolo in the weekend and now losing to their arch rivals Inter only means they need to strengthen their team to avoid more losses if not the likes of Juventus and Bologna will quickly remove them from their perch.
I think Milan is declining in form currently, because if you look at their recent matches, they did not perform well neither were they able to get good results, and that has cost them a lot. Being evicted from Europa, and also using them to celebrate Inter's victory this season is not a good record.

It is better that the coach work on their performance because they still have Bologna to okay who won Roma yesterday without much stress. I cannot say anything on Juventus because this is another strong club that have declined drastically in form, and I don't think that Milan should be scared of them but Milan need to improve their performance to just keep winning like how they use to.

The problem should be from Nigeria government, maybe their law and regulation does not go in a way that it fits in with what the casino have in mind, and that might make them not to operate in such country. Casinos are for business, and any country that their regulation does not suit with the casino will likely not provide their service.

However, that should not be any problem, as there are so many casinos in Nigeria that are operating and their service is similar to sportbetting, so you can  atch your fun in those casinos.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: After losing the money in gambling,what is your strategy on: April 22, 2024, 04:58:13 PM
Exactly! OP's friend shows being an irresponsible gambler because he used loan money just to get back all the money that he have loss in gambling which is not advisable because we all know what will going to happen if we do that kind of strategy, You will become addicted and being in a huge debt. No matter how many advise we give to them, OP's friend will never listen because seems like he is decided on the things that he will going to do.
Losing huge amounts of money while gambling is quite painful. This is one of the major reasons why people often comment staking what you can afford to lose. This is because losing huge amounts of money often comes with a great deal of emotional stress which is obviously something a gambler should try as much as possible to avoid. At the point of having huge loss, in my opinion the best option is to kindly pause the entire gambling activities instead of continuing to stake which can even add up to additional losses if you eventually end up losing. Gambling is a supposed fun activity and not a die hard one therefore a responsible gambler should be mindful of how much they put into making bets and stakes.
People that feel gambling is a die hard activity are those people that don't gamble for fun but for a different reason. If not I don't know why anyone would want to kill himself that it is a most for him to make profit from gambling. Gamble is something that one should not take that serious but only for the fun, and nothing more.

Gambling is something that one must do with caution to avoid excessive losses, which cannot be won back. This is why only the amount of money that you can afford to lose is what every gamble should use to gamble so that he can be happy and enjoy the fun in gambling.

I think the best match of the day will be between Milan and Inter. There's a possibility that this derby could be the championship match. If Inter get 3 points tonight, they'll be champions. There are six weeks left in the league. There are 14 points between the league leader Inter and second-placed Milan. Inter are unbeaten for 26 weeks. They have lost only 1 game this season. It will be an epic win for them if they beat their arch-rivals and celebrate the championship. I won't bet on this match. But I want Inter to win tonight.
The match between AC Milan and Intermilan is a very crucial match for both teams, Intermilan can ensure their championship this season if they can beat Milan in the game later, besides winning the derby match is of course a prestige that Intermilan should strive for to be able to show who the real ruler of Milan is, to win the Scudetto today, of course, Intermilan must get 3 points in the game so that Intermilan can hate Trophy and of course make Milan and Milanisti hurt because indeed Intermilan can celebrate their championship at san siro today.

For Milan, of course, today is also obliged to win 3 points to be able to maintain their pride and fans, I think Milan's only mission at the moment is of course to thwart Intermilan's Scudetto plan, so that they can prevent Intermilan from celebrating the championship in front of them this season, currently Milan is in second place while to chase Intermilan's points, of course, it is very difficult for them, but even so, I am quite sure if today is both the team will play hard and maybe full of controversy that makes the game even more heated.
This will be the most shameful defeat to see that your opponent defeated you and celebrate in your presence, only cowards will allow that happen. Inter will want to win the make in order to make today a wonderful and remarkable day for them, and I believe that it is possible for them to achieve it.

I am not underestimating Milan, but I don't think that they will be able to stop Inter from celebrating today because they are not as strong as Inter, and they lost to Roma in Europa which means that their performance is not consistent currently. Inter did it the first time, and that demoralized Milan from competing with them to be on the top of the table earlier this season, and I believe that Inter will do it again.

No one should put the blame on the halving because it is only the halving block which is 840,000 block that the fee can be expensive just to insert your transaction into the halving block. The present cause of this hike in transaction fee is because of Runes, using bitcoin blockchain to mint.

We have seen such hike in transaction fee last year when ordinal attack bitcoin network, and it subsided, fee went back to normal showing that we are still going to experience normal transaction fee soon. In such times like this, I don't make any transaction, because I cannot afford the transaction fee.

Leverkusen with Xabi Alonso is indeed a very scary team. They might even end the season in the Bundesliga without losing. but in the Europa League things are different. But if Leverkusen manages to win the European League title then that will be their most impressive achievement.
Leverkusen seemed to reject the defeat that came to them, in the Bundesliga when they faced Borussia Dortmund they were already on the verge of defeat, but they showed a very surprising surprise by scoring a goal in the final minutes before the game ended in the second half.
I think they have a big chance to do the same thing as they did in the Bundesliga. They will face As Roma in the semifinals, AS Roma is having a good atmosphere with De Rossi so it will be a challenge in itself for Leverkusen. AS Roma also just beat AC Milan in the quarter-finals which many people previously doubted. I think this will be a very interesting match, because they are both targeting high achievements in the European League. However, the burden is on As Roma, because they are still competing in Serie A, while Leverkusen no longer has a burden in domestic competitions.
This season came with so many surprises and I am not worried about it, because that is football for you. I never expected Roma to win Milan easily, and that shows that Roma is improving in their performance everyday. De Rossi is a coach that nobody expected these good results from him, but ever since he took over from Mourinho, he has transformed the club.

This means that Roma will not take the match lightly with Leverkusen, and they will love to break their unbeaten record to make record for themselves, which will make De Rossi to prepare his men for such task. On the other hand, Leverkusen have being performing extra ordinary this season, and matches that you think that they have lost, they will find a means to draw it, which has made them unbeaten this season.

Xabi Alonso will want to maintain his unbeaten record and he knows what to tell his men that always motivates them in order not to accept defeat and fight for a draw instead. Respect, record making, and qualifying to the finals are what is at stake here for both clubs. It is going to be a big fight on that day.

It is good that you don't depend on one means of income nowadays, due to the high inflation rate in the country. Depending on one means of income shows that you do not have the insight of increasing your income, and to work for your future. Those that have government jobs can simply save some portion of their salaries, and use it to invest in a business, that they can grow to an extent that they don't need to depend on their salary anymore, because they have another means of income.

It will help you grow in future. It is the same thing with using 10% of your monthly income to invest in bitcoin and follow up with regular DCA weekly or monthly to keep on increasing your bitcoin investment portfolio for the future. As time passes on and bitcoin price increases in value your investment will also increase it value.

This shows that no matter the hardship in the country, you are saving your money in bitcoin and I flatiron will not be able to devalue for savings. People who have various means of income, are the ones that can cope with any kind of hardship in the country, as long as they are not lavishing their income.

Somethings are not possible yet, like bringing back the dead to life, but I definitely agree that almost everything is possible, because most things that were only imagined in the past are now realities, because some people changed the naretive. I really admire the cricket player, he would've given up his dream of playing cricket, because of his amputation, but he believed that not having arms which is essential for the game, wouldn't stop him from achieving his dream, he overcame and today the world is celebrating his resilience. His story should be a lesson to the rest of us that easily gives up on our dreams and aspirations because of setbacks that makes us to think that it's impossible.
With God all things are possible. There is nothing bigger than God. The crikey youngster have been destined to become great through cricket, and he was able to notice that early, which made him not to give up on the sport after the accident. He was focus and never allowed his condition to distract him from his goal, and that inspired him of coming up with a way on how to play the game without arms.

It is a lesson for all, that no matter your the condition that you find yourself, don't give up on your dreams and follow it to the last with all passion, and you will achieve it.

This gives them the opportunity to manage their time and also plan their day. Unlike traditional jobs that eats up all your time.

Another reason is that these traditional jobs are just used to survive, and not to make a fortune. Unlike the internet job that you can use to secure a. better way of living and also invest. If you are working online, it is economical and not stressful. You don't need to run from one office to the other, or will you use a dime of your pay for transportation or other miscellaneous that might come up during your working hours.

After Real Madrid managed to beat Man City, I am also sure that nothing will be able to stop Real Madrid this season in the UCL. Bayern may have a chance but I still trust Real Madrid more. But if the reverse scenario occurs, namely where Bayern wins, it will be surprising. And if Bayern manages to beat Madrid then I think it's the same as Bayern will win the title this season.

But my biggest hope remains with Real Madrid because they have failed quite a lot in UCL in several seasons. And I think it's time for Real Madrid to regain its glory in the UCL.
But I think Bayern Munich are also at their best in the UCL this season. because you also shouldn't forget how Bayern managed to beat Arsenal, who also had a performance that was no less great than Man City this season. For me, the match between Real Madrid and Bayern is still difficult to predict. And it's even possible that Bayern will win as they surprised us by beating Arsenal. But Real Madrid's winning mentality should be able to help them play with more confidence in the match against Bayern. And actually, for now, seeing Bayern or Real Madrid become champions this season in the UCL, it doesn't matter who it is to me. Because if Bayern wins then I will also be happy because I want to see Kane finally lift the big trophy in his career. But if Real Madrid wins and wins the title then I will also be happy because after all they are a team that I really like.
Bayern should get really prepared, Madrid is not like Arsenal to accept defeat, these guys are like bullies especially Rudiger and tactically inclined, penetrating that defense will take a lot of good play to do so. In other for Bayern to lift this trophy they should see this match like their finals, with no doubt if they should win Madrid in this semi final it's easier for them to lift the trophy, whether PSG or Dortmund are not much of a threat  compared to Real Madrid. I just hope Kane gets lucky on this one, he has tried more than enough and deserve this title.
This is a big dream might might not happen in history, that weak Bayern will terminate the fierce destructive, and unstoppable Real Madrid out of the champions league, I have never thought of this season the beginning of this competition this season. When Bayern Munich was it there best form, it will be a very tough match, not now.

However, if it is possible for Bayern Munich to win Real Madrid, they will not be able to win PSG in the finals. But it is impossible for Bayern Munich to win Real Madrid, because they are like underdog to Madrid. I just use to wonder what thought runs through peoples mind.

There is the El Classico tonight yet I am not at all excited and like me most of the fans and gamblers because the La Liga is already decided and Real Madrid is already Champion of the La Liga,Barcelona comes from an elimination from the Champions League while Real from a further qualification that sees them in the semi-finals,based on that we can easily see that the team with the bigger motivation is Real Madrid and most likely they are going to win the derby to keep up with the form and make the fans even more happy than they are because of Real eliminating City in Champions,as they say revenge is a plate that is better served cold and that was what happened to City,Real took revenge for what happened in 2023 to them.
Barcelona managed to compete well against Real Madrid in El Clasico although they lost the match 3-2 to Real Madrid. At present, the performance of Real Madrid, on the contrary, the performance of Barcelona was getting worse, we considered that the result of this match could be by a big margin, but it was not a big margin. Although not as competitive as we expect in these El Clasico matches, Barcelona tried hard enough and they did well enough against Real Madrid. This season Real Madrid is an irresistible team and it is very difficult to stop them.
It is a competitive match in my own view, because both team struggled not to be defeated, and rather walk away with one point. Unfortunately for Barcelona, Jude Bellingham was able to stop that from happening by scoring the only goal that made the difference in the match.

It was like Barcelona was going to win the match initially, and that Real Madrid was playing for a draw. But everything changed at the dying minutes and I will call that luck and fate. It was the first leg in which Real Madrid won Barcelona like babies that was not competitive. 11 points is a good point difference for their rival.
697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 22, 2024, 08:18:00 AM
I'm sure it's because they don't have a winning mentality that Arsenal can't really win any titles this season, just look at their failures in the EPL, they are always like that at the end of the season, they don't get consistent and satisfying results, the same goes for the UCL, they failed after winning. defeated by Munich, Arsenal should be able to learn a lot from each failure, don't know whether it is Arteta's fault as a coach or player, but Arteta probably knows that he should instill a winning mentality into the hearts of the players so they can play well until the end of the season.

Too many schedules make it increasingly busy and little time for rest, perhaps due to mental factors and also the player's stamina. I think Arteta needs to learn to rotate players a lot and try to approach the players so that there can be a relationship between the coach and the players because it is important to at least be able to build mentality and know when players who have to be played and not, I think if Arteta fails again this season, he has a lot to learn to improve it next season, I think it's a tough job but apart from that Arsenal need additional players to be able to make the team strength much better than the season This.
I have to agree with you. Because that is the reality we can see from Arsenal in their last few seasons with Arteta. Their mentality doesn't seem to be very ready, different from Man City, which always has a winning mentality and high self-confidence. But so far Arteta is still a coach who deserves to be appreciated because Arsenal continues to improve their performance under his coaching from season to season. Maybe this season Arsenal could fail in the UCL, but next season it is possible that Arsenal will be better prepared with the addition of several new players who can strengthen the squad better. In the EPL, the season is still continuing even though it is at the end of the season. But Arsenal's hope is still there, even though it is small. Arsenal just have to keep winning and hope Man City drops points. But the problem is that Man City may not lose any more points in the remaining matches this season.
You can never tell if Manchester city will drop points or not. They might draw one of their match which can become an advantage for the rest two clubs which are Liverpool and Arsenal to be ahead of them. However, the chance is very slim, because Pep with the anger of losing out in the Champions League will live to win all his matches, so that he can use EPL trophy to console himself and the city.

The problem that Arsenal is having, is that they are not that desperate compare to City, and that is why you see that at critical times like this City do take it as an advantage over other clubs competing the league with them, because Pep knows the strategy on what to do in conditions like this. I will say that Arteta is still learning, and don't have that experience of critical moments and how to overcome it.

Manchester United needs to part ways with ETH whether he delivers the FA cup trophy or not. Today's match just confirmed that he's no the right man for the job, how can united after being ahead by 3 goals, draw to a championship side. As expected ETH did use the injured players as excuse for the performance but we all know that his tactical changes spoilt the game and they're lucky to have scaled through to the final and they'll be banking on luck against City because they're far from their best.

Manchester united won the match on penalty but there is nothing to celebrate honestly, Coventry deserve it more. Regardless of their win, Eric Ten Hang has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he doesn't deserve more time in Manchester united. He definitely has no game management and has zero tactics. His substitution always kill the game. How could a team like Manchester united playing against a championship team drew a game they were three goals ahead, headed to extra time but couldn't do anything rather than ended in penalty they almost lost? It's very unfortunate, Coventry really deserved to go through after that hard work. It would have been better to lose that game yesterday to save themselves from embarrassment in the final because if they play against Manchester city with that mentality, it would be a brutal humiliation and probably become the highest score ever in a cup final.
It is a shame for a big club like Manchester united from three goal lead started fighting for who will qualify to the finals with a small club. I felt embarrassed seeing how Coventry was able to equalize the goal. I wanted to stop watching the match, when the third goal was scored by Fernandez believing that it is an easy win match for the red devils.

Unknown to me that they will have to struggle till 120 minutes to penalty shootout. It was when two scores was scored that I totally lost hope in Manchester united and I was even expecting them to be defeated. I did not bother to watch the match any more when 90 minutes was over. It is just the penalty that I watched, because United didn't impress me.

It is a good game with quite a lot of action, but it is not over yet. Ball possession shifted slightly in favor of Barcelona, but we will see whether they can turn it into an advantage. So far both teams are about equally dangerous, but it looks as if Barcelona has a bit more control and they got a lot of corners, but couldn't convert them.

Good speed by both teams and the young Barcelona players are interesting to watch. There are some good talents in the team now. Could be Barcelona's future for sure.

You underestimate El classico, like you did consider statistics in this kind of match when two teams are always aggressive towards each other with primary aims and objectives to score goal, statistics doesn't count much unless for short on targets and shorts on goals. Bellingham Real Madrid the lead and they have covered their eyes in shame both in home and away this season, we now know who the real kings of Spain are and who are truly the king of Laliga.

With 6 games to go in Laliga, even if Barcelona used Magic for the rest of the match even though we know that it's unachievable, there is no way that any team is going to overtake Real Madrid right now, it's too early to make an announcement for them but if Real Madrid is able to win their next two games without suffering any loss, they will be force to announce as the winners.
Jude Bellingham did it again just as he use to do it in first quarter of the season by scoring dying minute goal to give his club all three points. It was good to see Bellingham score again after his last goal on February 10th. The point gap have increased to 11 points which becomes a big problem for any team who feels they can catch up with Real Madrid.

It is very clear now that Laliga title belongs to Real Madrid, and Barcelona should wait till next season to see if they can be opportune to win the league. It means that Barcelona never defeated Real Madrid in all competitions that they clashed this season. This shows that Real Madrid is better than them currently.

You said it well. But here's the thing: A person who is addicted to gambling cannot stop gambling. This is the whole problem of addiction. If a person is able to stop gambling, then it will no longer be an addiction. It's like telling an alcoholic who has a big problem with it, stop drinking if you feel like you're addicted to it.

The addiction of gambling is even worse than that of alcohol,in fact alcohol with a little desire and going into a dis intoxication rehabilitation clinic they have a huge success rate of well over 95% who make it out of it without the body needing alcohol anymore.In gambling is a completely different story as money is involved and the human nature is greedy,they want more and more money and riches,they keep playing until they lose everything if they are addicted,even people who go in the rehab centers to recover from their gambling addiction has a lower success rate,in fact it is 50-50 here,only half of those who go there manage to cure addiction,statistics showing that gambling addiction is even worse to be fought than the addiction of alcohol.

Gambling addiction, yes, is hard to tackle, due to the fact it meddles with the way players think. Winning big in gambling is another promise that never leaves the brain of a player. However, while battling with addiction, is not simple to forsake the amount of money lost in the process. It's a mental disorder that continuously stresses the addict out every minute of his life. Unlike alcohol where the addict gets a clear thought once the alcohol content subsides. Addicts struggle with having a clear mind out of gambling, once addicted. Although addicted players at some stage wants to be free, they still find it hard to quit.

The whole process starting from figuring out the addiction and getting the player to therapy is not simple. Addiction causes a chronic mental disorder and must be followed with patience. The healing process continues even after the gambler is fine. Like you said, swogerino, alcoholic easily stops drinking, but a gambler will gamble still after getting healed. The only difference would be that he does it moderately, and not compulsive. To quit gambling completely as a gambler is almost impossible. What is most important is control the way we play.
A gambler that enjoys the fun in gambling will not quit gambling even though he was once addicted, that will not prevent or scare him away from gambling. He will only gamble responsible so that he can limit his losses and don't get addicted again. Any gambler that have suffered from addiction and was able to overcome it, will understand how to gamble in a way that will not affect him.

This is why it is gamblers who are addicted needs medical help and his loved ones to help him at that critical time that he is fighting to overcome addiction in other for him to be successful, and he needs to be monitored to make sure that he does not go back to gamble at the initial stage.
