At this point, Manchester United has scored and I love their creative play today all the passes playing a well-coordinated game are quite impressive, and even the way Rasheford made that pass for V. Lindelof to score is great teamwork and I can see a lot of improvement coming from manchester united game tonight. and from the look of the game, Luton is not that weak that mindset has put a lot of clubs in trouble in the case of underestimating their opponent.  because there's still time don't be surprised to see Luton equalizing is just for Manchester United to fight their defense, because that is where the problem is always coming from, they need to focus on attack and defense then they have nothing to fear.
Luton Town are basically playing well at Old Trafford at the moment, but Manchester United are doing better. I can hope that this is a match that Manchester United will win, but I never know what will happen in the rest of the second half considering Luton Town are also dangerous when they have opportunities. Luton Town have hurt Liverpool in previous games, but I hope they don't do that against Manchester United this time.

Manchester United has a great opportunity to double their lead and lock in a home win, but once again Manchester United's defense must be very focused and must not lose even the slightest concentration. Winning 1-0 is not safe for Manchester United because the probability of a draw is still possible, but to be honest I don't expect it.

It's nice to find that Real Madrid have ensured qualified to the round of 16 without a hitch. Napoli, Union Berlin and Braga have already been beaten, so now it only gets easier for them to maintain their group top spot. I hope Ancelotti can give several opportunities to players who rarely appear, including giving a debut to newly arrived Arda Guller. He has recovered and he is ready to go out and prove his abilities. Who knows if he could be as good as Bellingham, but I hope it's worth it.

Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Sociedad have also confirmed themselves through to the next round, Leipzig has also done it. I hope Madrid can ensure that they can win all their group stage matches even though Napoli don't want to lose in the second meeting this season.

I think it's too early to talk about the all-time high basing it on the current price surge because we are still about 5 months away from the halving event, and we can only have some idea about how far the market can go after seeing the market situation around and after the halving event. In the past, the market used to start going up after the halving event, so the current surges shouldn't be taken that seriously as there can always be a correction coming our way.
Nobody forbids anyone about price predictions especially if it is possible due to many factors. Currently the price of bitcoin is trading above $37k which means it is only $32k away from the previous ATH. Anything is possible if bitcoin FOMO increases due to the approval of a bitcoin ETF, but conversely a correction is also possible for various reasons.

ATH before halving may occur if bitcoin ETF is approved. The market will receive enormous interest from institutional investors and other investors which in effect will only increase demand to such an extent that it results in price increases on a large scale. I'm not pessimistic about the possibility of such a scenario, but vigilance should also not be lost about things that are not desirable.

Every thing can happen in football, they said. Girona can makes that thing happen. but,
in my opinion, Girona have factors that makes me think They are currently having "purple path', this run of positive results wont last long, because their defense is not strong enough to be in title race. it said; "attacks win you games, defense wins you title", this is the reason for people to say that Girona wont last long at the top of table.

Their Squad depth is also not deep enough to anticipate injuries and fatigue that can come anytime throughout the season. I'm not saying it's impossible for them to be in title race, but I remember this is not the first time that Girona being at the top of the table after 10 games.
Really curious to see their performance drop because so far they have won 10 of 12 matches. Girona only lost to Real Madrid and only drew once against Real Sociedad, this proves that they have something else to rely on. I certainly agree that a team like Girona will not be leading the standings for long, unless Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid cannot overtake them due to poor performance.

We might be surprised if Girona can create a points gap with other competitors of 6 to 8 points, but I'm not sure that will happen. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are better teams than Girona based on history, but Girona cannot be underestimated at all this season. Girona looks likely to lead the standings until the first half of the season is over, but of course I am curious to find out how they can maintain their consistency this season.

There's no controversy about it, Man City is the best team presently in the EPL and I don't think any club would be able to surmount them for a while. This is not because they are unbeatable but because they just realized their mistakes and are trying to get better, so any club they meet now either big or small would be devoured, that's the spirit. If you agree with me, they were not as expected in performance when played with Wolves and Arsenals, and each goal scored against them was surely felt more.

But ever since Arsenal's match, they've been better serious with both local and UCL competitions. I can't say much for Chelsea in the EPL as it's clear that they are a mess, though they are improving recently but certainly not a viable competitor of Man City even at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea and Manchester United have had bad luck this season in the Premier League. I don't expect Manchester United to be one of them, but considering how easily they are beaten by other teams then I think I have to admit that they won't be any better than last season.

Ten Hag somehow seems unable to change much to improve the team's performance. He is unable to compete with many other teams, where this season Manchester United has suffered 5 defeats from 11 matches. There is nothing special about them other than Maguire's improved form and the poor performance of many other players, it just hurts them as a whole. About Manchester City, they are the strongest and best team so far. There is no doubt about them based on statistics even though they have also suffered two defeats in 11 matches so far.

We have touched the price of $37,000, all of which are confirmatory indicators, that we will reach $45,000 before the end of the year, even if I do not exaggerate during the next two weeks.
The price was for a long time below the 30,000 support level, and once it is broken, the price will try to test higher levels before we reach a stability point at $34,000 for the next four months, if the upward trend continues to be 42,000 to 45,000.
Bitcoin price almost touched $38k today before correcting to $35.5k and bouncing back to $36k. The volatility is so high and this makes some people very panicked in making decisions. Not sure if bitcoin price can touch $45k before the end of the year, but anything is possible if $40k is touched during November.

I picked $45k to $48k in the Poll, it was the middle of the 5 picks that I wasn't completely sure about. If the $40k resistance is broken this month, then I believe another big rally will follow and we can expect more about a breakout of new resistance above.

And this game is the biggest surprise of the evening for me, because I never believe Liverpool will lose so blatantly to the french side because with the look of things, the score is now three  goals to one in favor of the french team. I really thought Liverpool will win this game and also conceive that the weekend draw they had in the premier league will be rectify with a victory tonight but football is just unpredictable and the score has turned opposite of my prediction as Liverpool are currently losing by a whooping two goals deficit.
I don't know what happened with Liverpool today, but they looked so weak compared to Toulouse. However, it seems that Liverpool underestimated Toulouse who played in front of their fans at home and that made Liverpool suffer the embarrassment of losing 3-2. I almost couldn't believe the referee canceled Liverpool's third goal, but it happened and Toulouse legally won their home game today.

In Europe (Champions League and Europa League), I have seen some referees rob some teams of wins and goal opportunities which then has made these teams suffer losses. Some decisions can be considered controversial although on some occasions VAR can help the referee support his decision.

Didnt expect that Real Sociedad would pass the group so easily. They destroyed everyone in their group. Bayern Munich,Man City and Leipzig easily passed their groups that werent that hard at all. Group F anything can happen until the very end. I think we wont know anything in this group until last round.
Barcelona and Porto are also almost certain of progressing to the next round, so we won't ignore them. Arsenal, who leads group B, has also been very convincing to qualify by collecting 9 points from 4 matches. Bapi may be right that the teams in groups E, F and H can still change considering that the points between these teams do not have a big difference. They still have a chance to qualify even though the favorites can be determined, but everything can change and is never the same as we think.

Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Sociedad, Leipzig, Real Madrid, Inter, Napoli and Arsenal seem safe to qualify for the round of 16. They can rotate players in the next match even though none of them need to underestimate their opponents in the remaining two matches. I'm happy that Real Madrid did very well even though they had difficulties in the first two games.

I don't think any player would do such thing on purpose. However I guess the rules are saying that it is a red card anyway no matter it is intentional or not. I don't think it was a bad decision by the referee as a result. Rashford could have injured Jelert seriously there as the way he did that was really dangerous.

If Rashford stepped on Jelert's foot instead of his ankle then I guess the colour of the card would have been yellow. Rashford's morale was already not good before and now I can't imagine how he is.
Of course, it was a decent red card for Rashford, but it has certainly damaged his image in the Champions League. Rashford is one of the players who rarely gets cards in Champions League matches, he only has 3 yellow cards in the last 5 seasons in the Champions League and this is his only red card since the 2017-2018 season.

Intentional or not, serious violations must be punished with severe penalties. But unfortunately, it has damaged Manchester United's chances in the Champions League this season. No one thought Manchester United would lose to Copenhagen, but it became a reality after they only played with 10 players.

Not only have blame the players especially Ronaldo as many people taught it was an excuse for him to release the pressure that was in the club at that time to excel and that his old age would actually stand as a weak point and barrier for the team but he certainly made sure that it wasn't the case for his departure as he is currently doing well in his new club and actually the top scorer now in the club for this season while ten hag continues to make problem in the camp and destabilize things in the club both inside and out the pitch.
Whatever it is, Ronaldo will not have his good days at Manchester United again after he wandered for too long to Real Madrid and Juventus. Ronaldo is the best player, but he didn't come to Manchester United when the team had as good a squad as when he left for Real Madrid. Things have changed and when it comes to issue then I won't decide who deserves the blame.

After all, if Ronaldo stays at Manchester United much longer then I think he's just burdening himself in a lot of ways. Fans demand that he perform well and win lots of games, while the depth of Manchester United's squad never fully supports this desire. Coaches have the ability and capacity, while strategy can determine the direction and strength of a team.

The last time that the Manchester United striker Hojlund scored two goals in their Champions League game Manchester United still went ahead to lose the game. Manchester United have already lost a goal advantage as they conceded before the break, now they have to struggle not to be scored another goal, and  it will be more difficult now that have just ten men to continue the game with Rashford sent off. Manchester United will loose this game, is what I think because Rashford who has been sent of is a very important player for the team, and he usually has an influence that leads to goals. Manchester United will struggle to defend and struggle to score another goal.
Really sick of what happened at the end of the first half. Copenhagen only needed 9 minutes to equalize at 2-2 in the first half, while Manchester United needed 28 minutes. Of course Manchester United lost a lot of their game after Rashford was sent off, this has clearly affected the game plan.

I don't expect Manchester United to lose this match even though they have to play with 1o players. Copenhagen will certainly increase their attacks and take advantage of their 1 player advantage compared to Manchester United, but I hope Ten Hag can analyze well what needs to be done to get 3 points in today's away match. Manchester United must aim for their second win in 4 matches, otherwise they will fail to reach the round of 16.

Licester City is a very relevant example, I agree with that. Real Madrid, Barcelona and ATM indeed have better strengths than Girona, the three clubs have advantages in all aspects when compared to Girona, but sometimes the luck of these three clubs is still not great for the time, being it looks like that, we can refer to the standings as the proof.

The January Transfer Market can be a forum for any club to rebuild their squad, and of course this is in line with their financial side. It could be that there are several big names who will join La Liga when the transfer market opens, Girona can also make this happen so that they can continue to be consistent in the second half of the season.

Personally, and perhaps everyone has been impressed by Girona performances this season, if they can survive the first half of the season in their current way, it is clear that they are worthy candidates for the top four, for champions I still have a little doubt at the moment.
I don't yet imagine that Girona can win the La Liga title this season even though so far they lead the La Liga standings with a lead of 2.4, and 6 points ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Girona have looked strong in 12 matches so far this season, but their consistency will be strongly tested by favorite teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Until week 12, Girona was the strongest and best team in La Liga. They have won 10/12 matches and recorded 29 goals and conceded only 15 goals. Their defense isn't that great, but I admit that Girona are having a great season at the moment and they deserve at least some respect.

Manchester united is very brilliant today, they have been really  good with their performance so far in the first half bof the game leading by a goal already but Copenhagen isn't relenting with their attacks bas they are looking for a possible counter attack opportunity.

The match has been characterized with a few stops but they are back on play, this may attract further extension of the first half, hojlund has been really brilliant tonight, rashford is yet to give any action, hojlund has already gotten a brace in the first half of the game. This win will seal their chances for qualification if by the end of the second half Manchester united wins, Arsenal is also leading by a goal, the champions league seem to be characterized with many goals tonight.
Rasmus Højlund has put Manchester United ahead at half-time with the current score 0-2. Of course this is a match that should be easy for Manchester United to win, but it is not finished yet so Ten Hag cannot be careless in adjusting his strategy regarding this match. I don't think rotation in the second half is necessary, in fact Rasmus Højlund should get 90 minutes of time and give him a chance to get a hat trick to boost his confidence.

And what happened was unexpected, Marcus Rasford received his first red card in the Champions League. This was a bit disappointing for him as it was the only red card he received in the Champions League in the last 5 seasons. A red card like this is very decisive, even Manchester United had to concede a goal from Mohamed Elyounoussi a few minutes after Rashford was sent off.

That's the hope of all crypto users and some of the speculation I've seen recently is that Bitcoin will rise to the $40k level without another decline and continue in 2024, once again it's just speculation meaning it could be right and wrong, still staying at $40k isn't a promising specific.

For me, I don't have much hope for the future of the Bitcoin movement, for certain reasons based on the overall situation of people's lives in various parts of the world, the current situation is getting worse, Considering much from the previous year, I feel optimistic about what will result in the development of Bitcoin in the current market, there is only one hope for the future that Bitcoin will be the best for all people around the world, regardless of staying in the $40k position or not.
Price volatility is completely unavoidable, so corrections and increases are part of it. Even if bitcoin can break $40k, the potential for it falling back below $40k is always there even if trends seem to say otherwise. A large increase will be followed by a decrease, this is normal, especially when the market is overbought.

If bitcoin eventually breaks $40k, then I believe its value will still be difficult to maintain, unless there is a lot of continued support that generates a lot of market excitement. FOMO will happen when the SEC approves the ETF, so I guess that will be one of the deciding factors in whether the $40k hold  or not.

I think this is quite difficult for Lyon, because Lyon will face Rennes at Roazhon Park, which is Rennes' home ground. So Lyon still needs to change its tactics in order to win again this season, considering that Lyon has still collected very few points in its last ten matches this season. So this not only talks about the time to recover for Lyon, but also talks about the tactical improvements that the Lyon team must have before the team really ends this season in the deadliest position.
Rennes is a strong team, while Lyon is a team that is in decline this season. Lyon doesn't seem to have the desire to improve their performance considering they still haven't been able to win a single match in 10 matches this season. I was surprised by what they experienced, of course they looked like a mediocre team this season who have no good hopes of staying in Ligue 1 next season.

Rennes lost to Nice in the previous match. They lost one of their midfielders Youssouf Ndayishimiye to a straight red card against Nice, but considering Lyon are in a slump then perhaps Rennes will have no problem winning their home game.

Finally I lost a pack of cigarettes with my friend Yes because of Madrid, I think they were able to win and get 3 points. Uniquely, Rayo has no shots on goal and Madrid has 5 shots on goal and 22 attempts. Rayo's spirit was able to make Madrid frustrated and failed to return to the top of the temporary ranking of number one.
This could be a concern for Anceloti, it seems Bellingham cannot always be the hero with his goals. But I love Rayo because they know how to get Bellingham to move freely. Unfortunately, Guller has not yet made his debut.
I actually felt very angry about that match, especially when seeing Rayo Vallecano just playing around with the ball to waste time. Real Madrid had done everything to win, but everything did not go according to plan as Rayo Vallecano was completely able to defend its goal without conceding.

Of course I regret several good opportunities that Real Madrid players failed to take advantage of, but matches like this are very difficult to predict because the opponent doesn't want to come out of their nest. Vallecona focused on defense and tended to never harm Real Madrid's defence, but they played well defensively. I saw Arda Guller on the bench, but he didn't get the chance to make his debut even though I'm sure he's ready to do everything too.

Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona have won three out of three in the CL group stage, but they haven't qualified yet, they still need at least one more win to go through, and they prolly have to pick up at least another three points after that in order to finish in first position, which is very important to do.
You are right, but don't forget Bayern Munich who in fact have also won 3 matches so far. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City only need 1 more win to ensure they qualify for the round of 16, but two of the 4 teams mentioned will decide it today.

Manchester City play Young Boys in a moment, while Barcelona have an away game against Shakhtar in a moment. Barcelona and Manchester City have the best chances of winning, so I don't think either will fail to seal their ticket today. Barcelona has a good record against Shakhtar in the Champions League, while Manchester City looks like it needs to improve its poor record against the Swiss side in European games including the Champions League.

The other teams you mentioned above still have a lot of work to do, PSG is on six points, whilst Dortmund and Newcastle are second and third respectively in that group, and they are both on four points, it is far from over in that group.
Dortmund vs Newcastle is the most interesting match in the near future instead of Shakhtar vs Barcelona. Newcastle must win to increase their chances of qualifying for the last 16, but Dortmund, playing at home, is unlikely to lose easily. Dortmund won the away game against Newcastle, so today they will have to be good enough to repeat the same thing for any chance of qualifying for the last 16 too.

The referee in charge of the Tottenham vs Chelsea match which saw Tottenham lose 1-4 at home was not Simon Hooper but Michael Oliver. Luckily they didn't blame Oliver for the red cards given to two Tottenham players. If Hooper had served as referee in this match like in Week 7 of the Premier League vs Liverpool, perhaps Romero's hard tackle which endangered Chelsea players would not have received a red card.

Chelsea won with a reasonable score because it was in accordance with the quality of the game given by the entire team, not because of the referee's help so that Chelsea could win or not because of a robbery. If VAR had not canceled Chelsea's two goals, a score above 4 could have happened.
Tottenham must really regret the bad result against Chelsea. I didn't expect Chelsea to win the match with a score of 1-4 against them when Chelsea's performance was very unstable. Tottenham tended to be better with their unbeaten record, but all that was destroyed by Chelsea in the drama of 2 red cards and 5 goals for the match.

Chelsea were basically overwhelmed against Tottenham's defense which at times was still well concentrated. Tottenham ultimately had to give up due to a lack of players and manpower, so it was only natural that Chelsea could score 3 additional goals since the second red card was given to Tottenham players.

Most likely November will be a volatile month. Hopefully it’s in the up direction and not down and hopefully it’s due to the approved etf.
Of course it is possible, but only time will tell. Bitcoin is still having trouble breaking the $36k resistance so far even though we have had several attempts at it. $36k is the resistance that will determine whether bitcoin can break $40k in November or we will have to wait longer to get there. November is certainly expected to be better than October, but prices are trending sideways between $34k to $35k.

In December usually not much happens in crypto or some markets because of the holidays.
I hope so too, but something different can also be expected. A correction could still occur during November and the end of the year, but people are already optimistic that we will continue this bullishness until the 2024 halving.

Local media in my country wrote that Guller will soon debut against this week. Guller suffered a recurrent knee injury, so from the completion of the transfer to date he has not received minutes in official matches. If true this is certainly good news, because Anceloti has other options to rotate players. Another hope is that Madrid are getting stronger, in possession of the ball. So they are easier to make set play games. Even now, the most visible problem is attackers
Arda Guler has recovered and I am happy to see him on the bench and ready to play in today's match. I think Ancelotti has the desire to give him his debut in today's game, but it all depends on how tight the game will be. If Real Madrid had been more than 2 goals ahead of Rayo Vallecano, then I can expect Arda Guler to get his debut.

Of course I've been very curious about him since his arrival, but today everything seems possible after his long recovery process. But anyway, I think this is not an easy match for Real Madrid so there is no reason why they should underestimate Rayo Vallecano's low probability. Arda can hope for a debut, but we'll just have to wait and see how the match goes.
