There is nothing like a shame in Victor Osimhen staying in Napoli and playing his game. Napoli is a big team and he is valued at the club and he is having a play time at the club. Osimhen didn't start his football career at Napoli so he has experienced different clubs and he still young and has many years ahead of him. He shouldn't move when he thinks it's not the right time for him to do so.
Napoli giving him the desirable respect as the club's top scorer in matches is a big appreciation for the Nigerian. There's a long way for Osimhen to go again in football.  Victor Osimhen should relaxed and thoroughly think of an EPL club to move to, after all it has always been his dream to play in one of these elite EPL club jersey. Victor Osimhen is very careful not to make the wrong decision of moving to a club that doesn't have the potentials and strength to explore him to fame as a top striker. Napoli having him seems like a privilege and also Osimhen planning on upgrading his level.

I doubt more and more every day if Osimhen goes to the EPL, because he seems to be enjoying his most comfortable zone at Napoli. As many have said before, this could have bad consequences for Osimhen if he continues to laze around at Napoli without thinking about the big opportunity in front of his eyes. Make no mistake EPL clubs can take other options if they get rejected. It all depends on Osimhen whether he will stay at Napoli or take up the EPL club's offer. For me in a competition as big as the EPL now the players need the clubs, not the clubs that need the players. Because no matter how great Osimhen is if he doesn't get an offer from an EPL club, it means his criteria are no longer taken into account. EPL competition is very tight so it requires mental players who want to develop. Is Osimhen the right person for that? maybe but his comfort in Napoli could make Osimhen darken his eyes.

But Manchester City has had very good news. Because De Bruyne has recovered and has reportedly participated in several training sessions. Although there is news that he will be able to play at the end of December now. But I also heard that De Bruyne might be much better prepared in January. But still, De Bruyne will definitely need time to adapt to his body which has just recovered from injury. So I also think that Manchester City might have difficulty trying to hunt for the title this season.

Man City fans definitely have high hopes because Kevin Bruyne return is like the return of the attacking key they have been waiting for. So far no one has been able to replace his role on the field, so it is not surprising that Man City performance in several matches is not always optimal.

But is there any news regarding Haaland condition? because I haven't looked for the news, I hope Halaand doesn't suffer a lasting injury. Hasn't Haaland been waiting all this time for Kevin Bruyne to recover, don't let Kevin Bruyne recover, Haaland is actually absent.

De Zerbi will go to Manchester City, next year or in the next 2 years.

Guardiola already "announced" him.
Lol, Pep is still around and he doesn't look set to leave City anytime soon, though anything can happen and Pep could leave earlier than he planned to, but we'll have to wait and see how things pan out.
For Man City, retaining Pep Guardiola is a fixed price to continue fighting for. However, without Pep intelligence, I don't guarantee that Man City players will perform brilliantly. I mean Pep will forever be Man City history in achieving achievements, so with good relations Man City will do everything they can. After all, they don't want to just let go of their winning trend. Even if Man City appears inconsistent in several matches, Pep Guardiola will not get a dismissal letter.

Personally I felt a lot better finding and reading a cognitive behavioral therapy book in my local library. I made prints of the most important pages and kept them with me for a while. Dealing with anxiety and keeping it managed can help with many aspects of life actually. Always best to combine written cognitive therapy resources with visits to s licensed professional if you can though. But even reading a CBT book alone can provide some helpful advice to dealing with anxiety.

Now when it comes to realizing that you are affected by physical symptoms of stress, there are also some exercises for that. You can look up breathing techniques, and see if these help you. Even the simplest form of breathing in from the nose and exhaling deeply and slowly while sitting down can be very helpful for some.

Feel free to share any tips if you have them.  Cool
I'm sure some gamblers who are able to control stress or in other words vent their bad gambling situations have their own methods to get rid of it. Indeed, some simple tips can be very helpful, but it depends on the stress level. Because after all, the bigger the bet, the greater the stress level. Personally I'm just a casual gambler and bet no more than 3% every week don't pay too much attention. Because the point is for me if I have leftover funds then I will bet and if not then I will play games until I fall asleep without having to worry about missing any bets.

Man City ML odds is at 1.59 for the match against Everton. I wanted it to be higher because of the possibility that Haaland may not be able to play due to a foot injury but that line is pretty decent. I guess the bookies still thinks they can easily handle Everton with Rodri in the starting line-up and Haaland coming on as a sub.
With the composition of Man City's players increasingly not in a supportive condition, I am worried that Everton will do everything they can to prevent Man City from getting points. Everton, who have received sanctions, will definitely continue to improve their position in the standings by maximizing every opportunity. So I see that this match will not be easy for Man City to control. Haaland as a goal machine is no longer very productive due to not having the right partner to supply the ball. Leaving Rodri alone is not enough to open up opportunities for Everton defense. For this match I will not underestimate Sean Dyche troops even though Man City are the favorites.

I still appreciate whatever Juventus has achieved at this time because after all Juventus is one of the popular teams and also a big team in series A, it's just that it's currently chasing its glory days like before.

The current Juventus squad is not enough to compete with inter for the championship, the quality is still inferior. still need to develop the team and add quality players, maybe next year it will be able to compete for the championship in Serie A.
clearly Juventus is a big team in Italy, by collecting the most Italian league champions 30 times.
But actually by being the richest club in Italy building a squad so well it's not too difficult
I would prefer if the two of them met immediately to fight because the time is still quite long namely in February so there is still time to prepare each of them. Juventus who are currently runners up are definitely more  motivated to conquer the top of the standings.

This weekend really benefited from playing against Genoa, the goal of getting 3 points was very supportive  and gave us a little distance from Juventus.  Genoa is actually not a serious threat and for Inter this match needs to be maximized well. Moreover both Head to Head are  still promising capital for Inter to extend their winning trend against Genoa.

Newcastle united Vs Nottingham Forest

Today Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest will be played between the two teams. Here I think the players of Newcastle United team are very experienced, this season Newcastle United has performed very well. The performance of Nottingham Forest team is very weak, if I say compared to the two teams, Newcastle united team is stronger because looking at the points table, Newcastle united team is at 7th place. And Nottingham Forest team is 17th in the points table. That's why I'll bet on Newcastle United.

Nottingham Forest team is quite weak. Nottingham Forest are now in 17th place in the table. Newcastle team is favorite in this match and they have more chances to win. However, the Newcastle team must play carefully. There is no way to underestimate any team in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest's performance was poor, but the team won 2-0 against Aston Villa. So. If Newcastle make any mistakes in today's match, they are likely to lose points. In today's home match, Newcastle's players will try to dominate from the start of the match. Playing attacking strategy from the beginning of the match will make it easier for them to win the match.
Now it's 1-1 initially betting on Newcastle is a safe choice and very supportive in every way. Nottingham is very unstable and is still far from comparing the depth of its squad when faced with Newcastle. But sometimes we are a little surprised that they were able to equalize in the final minutes of the first half so Newcastle should not underestimate the visiting team when the opponent is able to reverse the situation maybe Newcastle can be prevented from moving freely. Came to St James Park Headquarters with high motivation not to disappoint his fans.

In the second half I hope that Nottingham can surprise us again and show that they are worthy of winning 3 points from the top teams.

Yes and some contracts are written specifically for the Premier League when there are release clauses implemented for players. It could say that the player can leave the club for 50m if the buyer comes from Spain or Italy, and the player can leave for 60m if the buyer comes from the Premier League. And yes everyone takes notice of these gigantic broadcasting contracts they negotiate and then it's just comprehensible that the selling clubs use this to their advantage during negotiations and it turns out to be successful because how likely is it that a club will refrain from buying a player when it is a bout 10m more or less for a great talent.
It's only in EPL a certain elite club will spend £100million on a player that's yet to make senior appearance in the club or in a major competition and how come the worth increases rapidly? Buy them now, you will noticed how wasteful players you sign. EPL clubs ensure they stamp gigantic price tag on their players because most of the mediocre clubs, how do the earn? Definitely from their valuable players. For instance checking Brighton & Hove Albion, can they remember when last they won any major title? So they will use what they have to get what they want.
English club management is very good at utilizing young players so that clubs like Brighton one of which has succeeded in investing in a good and profitable way. Indeed since the beginning of Brighton existence in the Premier League it has been to improve its business not only by competing but also by having an owner who understands how business works taking advantage of the situation well and has made large profits from the sale of quality players. In line with what  Brighton has done when recruiting young players outside the radar of other English clubs. Even Brighton has its own method of looking for talent  across the country.

Of course PSG must evaluate well so that they can advance to the next round because the match will be more difficult than we imagined in the round of 16. Real Sociedad cannot be underestimated, they are one of the teams with strong ambitions to become champions this season, even these two teams have never met before, so it will be quite difficult to predict the final result. Even though PSG has quality players in their team, if they can't make the most of the first leg then they will have difficulties in the second leg.
Real Sociedad is clearly still too far away from becoming champions, maybe their targets in the Champions League are a little different, at least Real Sociedad may want to show their existence first to the strongest teams. Because this is UCL where there are still candidates such as Bayern Munich, Man City and Madrid, of course Real Sociedad is aware that their current strength still cannot exceed that. So for now Real Sociedad will try to risk everything against PSG, so if they are able to beat PSG until Real Sociedad finishes in the top 4 then they can become a promising candidate. But it all requires support that is not small, conquering the UCL is not just about ambition but about the mentality of the players that a club has.
930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 25, 2023, 09:50:42 AM
I'm still not convinced that Girona is a strong candidate for the league title this season regardless of their excellent performance a d their consistency in winning and quickly racing to the top of the table, they seem to be using the strategy of using the smaller teams to win the league while the loose to the bigger teams but then in this second round of the league they may have troubles.
I know you probably don't want to see a new candidate who comes unexpectedly and becomes a rival club to Real Madrid. However, because this is the world of football, it is not always stable in conditions that can last continuously. Therefore, it is difficult to accept the fact that Girona deserves to be Madrid competitor. Just because Girona doesn't have trophies and doesn't have a track record like Madrid, doesn't mean their existence is simply ignored. I know that Madrid is a club that is not easy to beat but as players change, every possibility will create a different balance. For example, against Alaves, if there was no goal from Lucas Vasques, it meant that for 90 minutes the Madrid players showed a game that was unable to penetrate their opponent's defense. Then look at the history of matches played by Alaves with Girona. That is the fact judging by the current conditions of Girona and Madrid, things cannot always be as stable as expected.
931  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID is dead, "long live the new COVID". World economy get ready? on: December 25, 2023, 09:28:47 AM
By the way, another question to the respected forum members - how is the situation with Kovid-19 and vaccination in your countries now? Any information about new diseases, about supply of updated vaccine ?
The current situation in our country regarding the new Covid issue has not yet fully emerged, but if I'm not mistaken, some time ago there was brief news on social media that there was a new type of virus which was not much different from Covid 19, you could say the level was higher. However, because at that time we didn't really pay attention and study the news, so there was minimal information. Maybe I need to check again, what is clear is that things like this always cause public unrest and seem to be on the agenda of certain groups. We know that the media is a powerful weapon for manipulating actual conditions to achieve goals. I mean, it's possible that a handful of people who control the media are trying to create a hidden agenda because they think Covid 19 has succeeded in disrupting almost 90% of the global economy and we ordinary people are also feeling the impact.

I don't want to be skeptical and make assumptions about conspiracies and the like, but the more we know about it the harder it is to understand it. We are required not to swallow everything that happens as a coincidence, but are required to think more critically, looking for sources of information down to the roots. Ensure that our actions in responding to news to change the situation must be carefully considered. I don't want to be trapped in a pandemic situation for the umpteenth time, we have just recovered and improved the economy and then we are again faced with a problem that has managed to destroy all elements of the principles that we hold dear. It's not easy to survive again in the midst of Covid. Almost all infrastructure, including health, work, transportation, sources of basic needs, etc., has become unstable.

Imagine if the Covid 19 we have experienced was an initial simulation or training to face more dire conditions. As a question, how many total deaths did Covid 19 cause overall in the world? Might those of us who survive face a higher phase of Covid levels?

Real Sociedad's enthusiasm cannot be doubted and it looks like PSG will experience difficulties when facing Real Sociedad, but PSG experience competing in the Champions League cannot be denied but if PSG cannot achieve unexpected results, it will still be difficult for PSG to advance to the next rounds.
In my opinion, Real Sociedad should be appreciated for having a pretty good mentality even though they are not used to being in the UCL, but Real Sociedad can actually dominate Group D which is filled with experienced teams in the UCL. So PSG please be careful and not consider Real Sociedad escape as mere luck. I see that there is a kind of big motivation from the Real Sociedad players who don't want to fall early, in the Domestic League they appear inconsistent but in the UCL they are very good without losing.

In fact, Barcelona, if this club had quality players without financial problems, I'm sure Barcelona would also be very suitable to be able to continue the match until the next round, but unfortunately Barcelona in the round of 16 seems to be having a very difficult time competing with other strong clubs.

Barcelona had quality players, but it has financial problem. The main point is barcelona has quality players and what's the difference? I don't even see the different from these things. In fact, barcelona is still having quality clubs and this can't be argued.
The financial trouble has come due to the management of barcelona was doing shady things. Xavi is still having quality player at this time. Xavi is still having a chance to make it happen as long as he can defend the current players.
I agree with you regarding Barcelona, the main problem is only financial while in terms of players we clearly know that it is filled with quality players Lewnadowski, De Jong, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Gundogan, Raphinha, Felix, Cancelo including goalkeeper Terstegen. There is nothing lacking in terms of squad depth, but when faced with financial conditions, the players feel that their future is not so secure, which affects their performance on the field. Every football player certainly needs financial guarantees because they don't play for free for the club.

Napoli's quality of play has dropped a lot from their previous performances, they have been playing much better in the Italian league but why are they playing so badly this time around. They have been seen at the top of the points table for most of the time but this time they have moved to the 7th position. This is really funny. Even with a team like Roma, they won the match 2-0 today, so wasn't it because of Napoli's weakness? So why don't you blame them for their losses? It happened because Napoli played carelessly
Napoli management is not in good condition after the departure of a figure who played a very important role in last season's success. Serie A has become unfavorable for Napoli again and they have to admit that they deserve to be in 7th position. In their last match against Roma, for 90 minutes they were only able to make 2 shots on target their performance dropped drastically, there was no aggressive play as usual, Osimhen and Matteo were also given red cards so the empty attack line clearly gave Roma a big advantage in bombarding the defense which had lost the key game.

After receiving news regarding Man United planning to recruit a striker in January and some of the names on the list were quite strange. Maybe because the budget given is still limited, I don't think this recruitment will have much of an impact as long as the coach is Erik Ten Hag. I mean even if you recruit famous players, it is very difficult to get out of the position of Man United players who don't work together on the field. Based on the last match alone, it shows the lowest quality of Man United game.  Bruno Fernandes looks tired of seeing Rashford who is lazy about chasing the ball, Antony who usually doesn't play much  of a role in his position, so it's no wonder there are plans to swap Antony with Kubo, a Real Sociedad player and former Madrid player,  who is definitely more useful in helping sharper attacks.

Yes, it's the first coin ever created, but it's slow and expensive (unless you're using the lightning network which most people and businesses don't).

How come Ripple which is the cheapest and one of the fastest ones - failed investors since 2018 and never reached back to the all time high of $3ish and those who believed in Ripple got 0 yields and a slap in the face, and yet this slow & expensive currency is the holy grail everyone is talking about?

That's not how to define the number 1 coin in the world, it's not a matter of how slow or expensive it is, because everyone knows Bitcoin is the origin of the decentralized digital financial revolution in the world using Blockchain technology. So even if it is said to be slow or gas fees are expensive it still won't reduce interest in owning Bitcoin. regardless of what is happening now, because we are facing a bull market phase, we are already aware that there will be massive transactions that will cause traffic to become congested. This is a sign that this increase proves that the level of interest is increasingly enthusiastic in wanting to gain profits during the Halving.

Ripple? cheapest and fastest? not care
If you were faced with choosing between 1 BTC or 1 XRP, which would you choose? it's that simple!!

Bellingham was able to meet expectations according to his price, his recruitment from Dortmund was considered one of Madrid successful transfers. His role in Madrid main squad is very important, as he consistently scores goals in every match, his statistics are quite good and continue to improve every week. Even though the England national team player is not a pure striker, he could be a solution for Madrid's goal productivity this season, Ancelotti can be a little calm even without the number 9 player.

The depth of Madrid squad helped Bellingham develop quickly, he was able to absorb experience from senior players and helped him in a very fast adaptation process. Overall, if we have the luck of not suffering any injuries throughout the season, I think Bellingham has the potential to be La Liga top scorer this season. Something phenomenal because he is not a striker, and everyone admits that he is the most valuable asset at the moment.
I agree that Bellingham signing has lived up to expectations since his arrival. Bellingham also proved his abilities and scored goals in almost every match. both Dortmund and Real Madrid benefited from the Dortmund camp they managed to sell Bellingham at a high price while the  profits that Madrid got from his contribution  helped maintain Madrid existence in the Domestic League and UCL competition.

Make no mistake that  Bellingham can put himself on a par with Haaland and Mbappe it is possible that in the current era these three players will start a new era in the  world of football after the Ronaldo and Messi era.

The WestHam versus Man United match which will take place soon, is there anything that can support the visiting team to get full points? Or vice versa, Westham can still take advantage of the situation to steal points from Man United, whose condition is not very promising. Losing to bottom team Bournemouth shows that the Red Devils are currently unable to appear consistent. However in the last match which held Liverpool to a draw, of course as usual the supporters took it as motivation to get up. However personally I prefer the host to control the game regardless of whether they are motivated or not Man United will currently have difficulty playing at their opponent's home ground.

Napoli new coach Walter Mazzarri continues to try to stabilize the team. But so far the performance of Napoli is not stable. After Walter Mazzarri became coach, Napoli played 7 matches, won only 3 matches and Napoli lost 4 matches. So Walter Mazzarri should not be trusted too much. The overall performance of the Napoli team is still quite weak.
Walter Mazzarri is trying to repair the mistakes made by Rudi Garcia, it's not easy to fix something broken, especially if the team doesn't have a strong character and can't resist bad moments, as Napoli are experiencing now
This remains a very difficult thing to do, to rise from the ashes, but to be honest I have seen an improvement. Obviously we can't expect him to fix everything right away, he doesn't have a magic wand.
Walter Mazzarri needs time and we should give him a chance. Because rebuilding a team requires adjustments between coaches and players. In essence, every new trainer will be faced with problems left behind by the old trainer, becoming a burden in itself to continue other people's tasks in the middle of the road. There are types of trainers who can make quick improvements, but in general they all require a process. It doesn't matter if in the end Napoli has to show a little decline because this is considered the initial phase, as long as Napoli is able to secure a UCL ticket for next season it means Walter Mazzarri is good enough for the club's future.

Now the challenge is to finish the UCL in the last 16 against Barcelona, even though historically Barcelona is in superior head to head condition. but this time Napoli has a high chance of stabilizing the players, it just depends on how effective Walter Mazzarri strategy is in overcoming the Blaugrana game.

This local online game will soon become so popular that local gamblers who play on international online casinos will prefer to play here because it is easy to fund the app and there are physical betting stations too like karaoke bars and gaming hubs.

Do you have similar games in your country and if there are popular local online games what will you prefer local or international-based
Since I became acquainted with foreign gambling, I don't know when, but what is clear is that at that time I no longer wanted to gamble at local casinos. The reason is, we can still see the level of trust and fair play in international casinos. Because as far as I know, local gambling players are often caught cheating by messing with the servers and even talking to several former operators who worked there, where they preferred to manipulate the system so as not to let the gamblers win. That is one of the reasons why I trust international casinos more because for me the reputation of local casinos is not trustworthy. Plus the choice of crypto betting makes me even more comfortable playing online gambling abroad, the global reputation recognized by various users around the world makes the casino the most trusted choice and the level of fairness is maintained.

Yesterday's game between Palace and Brighton ended fair and squarely. For me, the game was actually going to be a tie for both teams. Even though Brighton was thought to be able to win the game, they gave them higher odds to winning which implies Crystal Palace being the better side over them yesterday. They did their best to hold the games but I for a fact knew Crystal Palace weren't going to take it easy and just embrace loss at home to Brighton.
 
I'm quite sorry that this season Brighton has experienced a slight decline in performance. I don't know whether it's an internal problem or not but compared to last season Brighton is much more stable. but there are some special notes when facing Crystal Palace many times they could only win narrowly. maybe several other clubs who feel  that Brighton is aggressive should learn from Crystal Palace the techniques for  breaking Crystal Palace attacks already  know the  ins and outs of Brighton strategy. There is still hope for Roberto De Zerbi troops to repeat the same thing as last season by finishing in the top 6. just need to wait  for the team above it to slip, especially Man United.
