A wonderful and victorious moment for Real Madrid today as they won their visitors with no pity. I give accolade to Bellingham the player that can play the three roles on the pitch during any match. He is someone that is hard to predict and that is why it will be difficult for his opponent to understand his playing pattern because before you know it he is in the box and sharp go net the post. Real Madrid prove their superior over their opponent, who was unable to withstand the Real Madrid's pressure on the field and they accepted defeat with fate.
Osasuna is sometimes difficult to predict because in the last 3 seasons they have managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw once in two meetings. Today Osasuna were bad and they lost at Santiago Bernabeu, but this is the result I really expected. There were no real threats throughout the match in Real Madrid's defense because they actually had difficulty building attacks and getting shots on target. This is something impressive because Real Madrid is not only strong when attacking but also strong and disciplined when defending.

As a result, Real Madrid leads the La Liga standings with a total of 24 points from 9 matches. Barcelona dropped to 3rd place after Girona beat Cadiz 0-1 at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla. Of course it will be a pressure and burden for Barcelona who have not played their match against Granada tomorrow, but today the entire Real Madrid squad deserves to celebrate.

When Bissouma received a red card, the match which was expected to be very easy for Tottenham became difficult. But they still managed to score a goal and win. The important thing was to get 3 points even if they played with 10 players. Luton Town is a team well below the quality of this league. Any team that loses points against them will be upset. Tottenham was lucky today as they scored through defender Mickey van de Ven. If they had drawn, it would have been an unnecessary loss of 2 points for them. Tottenham currently seems to be leading the points, but they have played 1 more match, this will change tomorrow. Still, it was a morale booster for them to stand at the top, even if it's only for a day.
The most important thing now for Tottenham is that they managed to win 3 points and lead the standings. We never know who will win the matches between Brighton vs Liverpool and Arsenal vs Manchester City and today Tottenham successfully took advantage of their opportunities and opportunities to take the lead.

There is always the hope that Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City will drop points in their respective matches tomorrow, at least that is what Tottenham fans hope for now. I believe Liverpool and Manchester City are favorites against Brighton and Arsenal, but something is very difficult to predict about those two games.

Manchester United has been able to do a great performance in today's match. Seeing the signs of the attacking part of the team, it is clear that they are improving themselves in a great way. However, if Manchester United team needs to continue their winning streak, it is possible to do well in this league.
Manchester United's hard struggle today paid off. I can really see how frustrated the players and fans are with the bad results that have always befallen Manchester United so far, but today they really managed to take advantage of the momentum to win at home by scoring 2 goals in injury time.

Maguire contributed to Manchester United's winning goal today scored by Scott McTominay. Maguire's assist really made the whole stadium roar as if they had just won a prestigious title, even though they had just beaten a team in the relegation zone. That is the fact that Manchester United are currently experiencing difficulties, but they can get out of that problem if they don't want to give up.

Well there performance this season is not really bad and even though they've lost a game, they're still the league leaders and would continue dominating for a while and if you noticed they're even doing fine in the champions league cause they're leading their in their group with about 6points, i have this believe that City  would beat Arsenal in their next match, though it's not going to be easy based on Arsenal's current performance.

 It came as a surprise to me too, if Manchester City where to even lose any game it should be that of Arsenal's but losing against Wolverhampton wasn't really expected and it even made many bettors lose their games lol, well the fact that they lost one game doesn’t write them off cause they're still very strong league contenders and might win the league again.
Even though Manchester City has been the defending champion of the Premier League for the last 3 seasons, on average they have lost 4.6 times in the last 3 seasons. This means that Manchester City can still be beaten by anyone, but as long as they are able to play better and prevent City players from scoring goals. But with their average defeat clearly visible in the last 3 seasons, there are only a few teams that can beat City.

Wolves are the first team to beat Manchester City this season, but I'm sure there are other teams who can do it including Arsenal, Liverpool or others. The probability of Manchester City winning in each match is always high, but that does not always guarantee that your bet will win. Manchester City is the strongest team in the Premier League this season, but they have the possibility of being beaten.

The condition of the Real Madrid team is not very good. I think the coach of the team is very worried about the attacking side of the team. Because the team has seen great problems with the finisher in the attack. I think Barcelona will do great things in La Liga this season.
I admit that Real Madrid needs a quality striker, but the team is on a good run so I don't think your assumption is justified. Real Madrid won 7/8 La Liga matches, while Madrid also won 2/2 Champions League matches. So what you are saying now is not in accordance with the facts and cannot be justified.

Our rivals Barcelona are also in good shape to provide great competition. The La Liga competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will certainly be very exciting, but currently Real Madrid is still leading the La Liga standings until match day 8. So, you made me lol.

First of all, I never expected that PSG going to drop points against Claremont Foot. I believe when they were playing against each other, Claremont Foot was at the absolute bottom of the table. There is no way PSG should have actually dropped points in the match. And right after that, they have also lost against Newcastle United pretty badly.

I know that the new coach will need some time to actually bring in the results that everyone wants. I also know that the team will probably improve later on. But the improvement will need to happen a little early. Otherwise, PSG will not be able to defend the league title successfully. And that is a big problem. Because this is one title that they have been winning easily and losing this title, will surely mean that the team is not doing well at all.
I don't think this is the first time PSG has lost points against a team that played defensively throughout the match and used counter-attacks to score goals. PSG were held to draws by Toulouse, Lorient, and Clermont, PSG lost to Nice and Newcastle and all of them are defense-focused teams. PSG dominated all those games, but they lost and dropped points due to a draw. This is the impact of Luis Enrique's high ball possession strategy, but perhaps this strategy has not been adaptive enough at PSG so far.

Luis Enrique must improve the defense and midfield, this is a weakness they have had this season. They certainly have reliable attackers, but these attackers will not always be able to make PSG win if their defense and midfielders are not strong and creative enough. A quality midfielder is something PSG is missing, so they must find the right player to fill that position.

It is difficult for sure as it is a group of death on paper. The current points are also telling us this. It is even difficult to be confident about PSG to qualify from their group. Because that horrible result against Newcastle showed this to us clearly. Newcastle have also proven themselves to be a team that mustn't be underestimated even a bit. I would have also said normally that PSG and Milan would qualify for next stage. However things are pretty different now.

I can't even believe in PSG to be successful despite having Mbappe. As long as this team don't reassure us by some consistency I will doubt their qualifying from the group.
In fact PSG, Newcastle, Milan and Dortmund are in the most difficult group this season and all matches are difficult to predict. PSG lost to Newcastle due to their own mistakes in defence, which has frustrated the forwards. PSG played well and had good statistics in building attacks, but Newcastle, which was more focused on defending and counter-attacking, actually benefited from mistakes and negligence in PSG's defense.

Even if you doubt that PSG will qualify for the round of 16, I still think that PSG's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are still between 60:40. I mean PSG still has the potential to qualify for the last 16 if they win 2 of the next 4 matches, but they can't lose more than 1 time.

The best way to grow for newbies in the forum is to learn. This is because you can't impact what you don't know. The major problem about newbies in the forum is impatience. Most feel they can become a Hero member few days after registered. With patience and continuous learning, you will easily achieve your dream rank one day.
Studying a lot and reading is one way to find out many things which can ultimately make them knowledgeable. Just having knowledge will not make them achieve what is expected easily, meaning they have to develop their talent in writing or maybe they have to learn English better to be able to convey something correctly.

I'm sure many beginners learn, but they have difficulty getting their point across because writing is not their forte. This may be rare, but some people who tend not to like writing may have trouble getting it right. So it's not just knowledge that needs to be improved, talent and skill development is also needed so that you can achieve what you want in this forum.

I don't mind if you disagree with me. 

We have more interesting discussions if people do not necessarily agree and if they are trying to make points that they really believe to be true.. so which part of what I said is disagreeable?

I know that mistakes can be made.. so if someone buys BTC and tries to secure BTC for the long run and they are in bitcoin for several years, maybe even a couple of cycles, so they have a lot of money, maybe even 20x profits, but if such longer term BTC HODLer/accumulator person does not know what they are doing, then they may not end up making any money from their having had been in BTC because they screwed up their ways of securing their bitcoin.. is that where you are disagreeing with me? or something else?
No..no, wait a minute, You have to look at the points I have bolded in your post. I mean, buying bitcoin and holding them for the long term is a profitable approach for investors or holders, but it will not be profitable for bitcoin. Am I interpreting it the wrong way?

I completely agree that a long term holder still may not be able to make money from their investment if they they screwed up their ways of securing their bitcoin. But that's not something I disagree with in your post and I already explained it in the first paragraph.

We are not talking about trading in this thread, so trading may well not be a way to have any honeypot with bitcoin especially since the vast majority of traders suck and historically buying and holding bitcoin has proven to be a quite lucrative approach to bitcoin and there is no real evidence that buying/holding has changed as a good approach to bitcoin.. which you seem to somewhat understand from the contents of your post... in which you are recognizing the current period as a likely dip period.
I agree with 99% of your opinions, but 1 percent of them don't. I mean, it should be a profitable approach for investors or holders instead of bitcoin. I certainly know what you mean, but sometimes small mistakes can raise questions and lead to invalid understanding.

So far I have avoided trading as much as I can, it is the reason why I was able to invest and become a holder. From experience, trading sucks and it has dashed many of my dreams just because of lack of emotional control. Of course I don't want to discuss further about trading, that's just a discussion that is not good in this thread. Come back to the topic.  Wink

It's very hard to predict what will be the final standing at the last match day. Acmilan/PSG/Newcstle are still competing so hard for the first and second place. The situation can change a lot once acmilan will be able to beat PSG away.
This is the key owned by acmilan to go to the next stage. The possible scenario if newcastle will be winning the match and acmilan as well. This will make newcastle has 3 points and acmilan has 2 points gap to the PSG.

Dortmund is the only club who is still performing so badly in this group. Dortmund needs a miracle to go to the play off stage. The standing can change anytime and this totally depends on the result from upcoming game.
My prediction if newcastle and acmilan will be qualifying for the next round.
Im very optimistic if acmilan will able to beat PSG away. Acmilan was always playing awfully during the first and second match as these clubs were always getting 1 point.
It is still too difficult to determine which teams will qualify for the round of 16 considering that they all still have 4 matches left. Newcastle, PSG, Milan and Dortmund all still have a chance of qualifying if they can win their next few games and this is one of the most difficult groups to predict.

I'm also not completely sure Newcastle can maintain consistent performance even though they haven't been beaten in the group stage in the last 2 matches, but Milan and PSG are good candidates to hope to compete closely until the last match. I favor Milan and PSG to go through, but Newcastle is the team that has the possibility of denying either of them a place in the last 16.

I think the general consensus is that anyone interested in trading should at-least have a fundamental knowledge of Bitcoin/cryptos & how they work before they intend to trade.

Unfortunately, due to bad actors, people have promoted Bitcoin as a scam, and people do lose money in trading not knowing any better. Nothing wrong with trading, but at-least understand how the markets work before you begin.

Otherwise people lose a large amount of money, blame it on cryptos & generally ruin the reputation of the community as a whole.

Just my $0.02
Of course, exactly as you said. If beginners come to trade, then they must have enough knowledge to get started. Learning how the market works, learning how to do analysis, learning many other things that allow them to make the right decisions.

I'm sure many people get lost just because they want to join in becoming traders. They don't have enough knowledge to begin with and they will just blame anyone when they lose. This happens to most beginners who are just trying out trading, while they don't know what trading is, let alone doing analysis. Learning while trading or trading while learning is good, but don't be greedy.

Earlier in the previous season we saw the performance of Manchester United. The group was completely aimless. And their performance was very poor. Manchester United's performance began to improve after Ten hag became the coach of the team. And at the end of the season we saw this team at the fourth place in the points table. And since Manchester United's performance improved after Ten hag became the coach, we had high expectations from Ten Hag this season. Manchester United management also provided Ten Hag with enough funds to strengthen the squad by adding players of Ten Hag's choice to the squad. But since the beginning of this season, Manchester United's performance has been very poor. Last season we considered Ten Hag a success, but this season it looks like Ten Hag is a failure. I don't know what decision Manchester United will take. But if this performance continues, I think United management should look for a new coach.
I know that there are always good consequences and bad consequences in every different season. Even if a club disburses a lot of transfer budget, it also does not guarantee that the team's performance will match what is expected.

Ten Hag has had a good performance as Manchester United coach, but the current condition of the team is not good which I don't think is due to a transfer error. Several important players such as Rashford were unable to perform at their best, as did Bruno Fernandez. I also highlighted many other shortcomings on the right wing as well as the defence, it is something different compared to last season. I can't agree that Manchester United currently wants to find a replacement for Ten Hag, but if during the first half he fails, then that would be the right time to get a replacement.

Last season, we can say that Manchester City won the Champions League only because of Erling Haaland's great performance. Manchester City have largely improved for Erling Haaland, and he has the highest reward for winning every match. Similarly, in this new season, Manchester City will fight to win the title in the Champions League by exploiting the potential of Erling Haaland.
No, Manchester City did not win the Champions League just because of Haaland, but they won it because of the performance of the team and everyone involved in the team. You can't say a team won the title just because of one player, that's bullshit.

Haaland is a player who really made a big contribution to Manchester City's success in winning its first Champions League title and treble winner. He is a sensational player, but I don't expect you to say Manchester City won the title just because of him. The success of a team in winning the title is the result of the team's performance, it is not won by one player.

Likewise for Real Madrid, Bellingham has been in top form this season, and Real Madrid have the best chance to win the Champions League and La Liga. Capitalizing on Bellingham's improved performance, Real Madrid are in their best position this season and will do enough to win the Champions League. Moreover, Bellingham is in the best transfer position in this new season, his contribution in every match is great, his competition is interesting in every match of Real Madrid. They are in good form with 6 points in the Group C points table, but Real Madrid have an easy chance to win their next match against Sporting Braga.
Bellingham is also sensational, but I don't want to expect much from him even though Bellingham has helped Real Madrid win many games so far. His performance as a player is very good and he deserves it, but if Real Madrid manage to win something this season then I don't expect you to say it's only because of Bellingham.

Moving to Manchester United was like a disaster for Andre Onana, his performance has declined since he was in goal for Manchester United, even though previously he always performed well when he was playing for Inter. In two games in the UCL this season,
The goal guarded by Onana has been conceded 7 times. This number was the worst conceded figure for Manchester United and was accompanied by blunders and an unconvincing performance from Onana.

After being humiliated by Galatasaray at Old Trafford, Onana was considered a source of disaster for Manchester United because he was thought to have contributed to Manchester United's defeat to Galatasaray due to a series of blunders he made. Onana made the most serious blunder when Manchester United were defeated by Galatasaray, Onana pass went to the opposing player (Mauro Icardi). Icardi looked like he had just received a beautiful assist and then immediately took the ball into the penalty box. Casemiro, whose position was not far from Icardi, immediately made a tackle and caused Icardi to fall and at the same time earned him a red card from the referee which resulted in Galatasaray being awarded a penalty.

As a result of two consecutive defeats, Manchester United is at the bottom of Group A with 0 points and makes its chances of qualifying for the next round increasingly slim.
It seems that Onana has considered all aspects of the risks he will face if he is willing to move to Manchester United this season. Serie A and the Premier League are completely different and he seems to know that very well, but it doesn't feel right to judge him too much because so far he is still in the adaptation stage too.

Manchester United and the supporters should support his performance rather than ridicule him and say bad things which are the mistakes he made in several matches, but I am sure Onana can perform better and gain good self-confidence and be respected by his own team's supporters. Ten Hag 100% supports Onana and will always be like that, but Onana must be able to prove it by performing better without much pressure on his shoulders.

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.
Even though there is an opinion that it was a lucky goal, I think Real Madrid deserved to win against Napoli yesterday. I admit that Napoli made Real Madrid's task difficult in that match because they also wanted to win the match, especially since it was also their home match. Real Madrid almost conceded the third goal if Kepa Arrizabalaga wasn't quick to make a save, but I'm grateful he did it perfectly.

But I don't think everyone should be quite satisfied with the team's overall performance due to the fact that Real Madrid's defense still has weaknesses in controlling the opponent's attack. Vinicius' presence in this match has brought new enthusiasm to the team and this is the victory they should get.

No excuses are acceptable. They need to perform better and secure a victory. Erik ten Hag has the club's support, as they see him as the right person for the current and future plans. It's important not to change coaches during tough periods but support them to bounce back. That's how they build a strong, long-term team. However, the team's balance isn't right yet, but I'm sure it will improve. And then, these lad definitely turn into a real threat against any team.
I don't expect much from Ten Hag for a short time even though this is his second season as Manchester United coach. Ten Hag should get good support instead of voicing his dismissal, that's what he should get instead of mocking the results of his team's performance on the field.

After all, Manchester United have not won the Premier League title for so long even though they have managed to qualify for the Champions League in 3 of the last 4 seasons, meaning it is still very difficult for us to hope that Ten Hag is the first coach to win it since the 2012-2013 season. Not a single coach has succeeded in making Manchester United win the Premier League title in the last 10 years, in fact I don't expect Ten Hag to be able to do it easily.

The main thing to manage or reduce the intensity of your addiction to gambling is to not always think that you will win. Rest assured it is the best way to manage greed because if you think you will win the bet on the next round after you lose, then it will only increase your losing percentage instead of winning.

I know this may be difficult compared to what I am saying, but when you start practicing it consistently and only betting when you are in a good mood, then you may be able to make the right decisions.

The score was now 1-2 after Jude had again become a player who could contribute for Madrid.
It will be pressure for Napoli if they try to do the same scheme and lose in their midfield.
It seems that the first half will end as I expected. Even though Real Madrid fell behind Napoli first, but the players reacted quickly enough and regained the lead over their opponents. The current score is still 1-2, but I'm sure there are still several more goals to follow because Napoli's defense doesn't seem too strong.

Kepa made a brilliant save when Osimhen had a chance from an aerial duel, which has maintained Real Madrid's lead so far. However, Real Madrid's defense must be quite alert because Napoli will definitely try to get a second goal to equalize.

In fact, Chelsea has the potential to develop, it's just that the process is going a bit late. I think the problem is because Chelsea has overhauled almost the entire old squad so it takes time for the new players to adapt. Even though it is populated by a number of potential young players, their performance has not yet been able to make a major contribution to the team. Pochettino is not immediately blamed even though he is responsible for various decisions. He also understands that his players, especially in the attack line, still have very little experience so it is very difficult to score goals. The 2-0 victory over Fulham certainly means a lot for Chelsea, apart from successfully securing points, but this victory will also provide an injection of morale for the players to continue to maintain their performance. But I predict that it will be difficult for Chelsea to finish in the top six because they have lost a lot of points and they still have to face big matches.
I agree with you, but there are two interesting facts about Chelsea's two recent wins. Chelsea won against Brighton in the EFL Cup and won against Fulham when they did not dominate possession. Their effective play and good use of opportunities is the key to winning these two matches, so of course this must always be improved instead of always prioritizing possession of the ball without being able to win the match.

It is very possible for Chelsea to develop even though the process is slow, but fans always want them to return to the competition track sooner than expected. We all know that won't happen to Chelsea considering there are a lot of new players there and all of them need quite a bit of adaptation until they really appear in their best form.
