West Ham are probably one of the better teams which struggle with constant inconsistency. They're infuriating from a betting stand point, because you just aren't sure what they'll do next. Hearing that Rafa has been sacked by Everton. I'd say from a Liverpool stand point, his tenure was one of the best in recent memory for them.

Liverpool doing well today, and performing above my expectations, without the main two I was expecting a 2-0 victory. I've got renewed while AFCON continues, so hopefully we don't drop any points, win our games in hand, and we might still have a chance to challenge Manchester City or am I a little bit too optimistic?

Anybody watched Atalanta - Inter? I was playing futsal and then looked at the score and almost broke my phone. I needed only both to score in this game to salvage a bad day at the bookies. How is it possible for these two teams to play 0:0?

At least rdbase and I were the only ones getting point in the pool for predicting draw. Somehow that one point for my 2:2 prediction sounds too little especially when rdbase gets the same for 4:4 prediction. I would not give you more than 0.5 points man

This is really worse AFCON Even the top players look lost on the field, the entire team comes into the game with a defensive mindset, sit back, play on the counter, score a goal, and then sit back the rest of the game, I must say I'm disappointed so far, but sure, I've been making a little money with my HT under 1.5 goals. Mane has been a disaster since the tournament began..

Algeria at least played something and they were unlucky not to score some goals. I still expect them to pass the group and get more dangerous as the tournament progress. Egypt looked awful and I am not even sure they can claw their way out of the group stage.

We started getting some goals yesterday, now I am torn between keeping to 1:0 scores or getting back to normal

Even when I knew both club lack some players yesterday, I still chose Liverpool to win, but the match ended draw, Arsenal team indeed tried. When Granit Xhaka had red card at the 24th minute of the match, I was thinking it has given Liverpool more chance to win and that Liverpool will indeed win the match. The first half ended draw while also the second half also ended draw. It is very clear how Mane and Salah are both trying for Liverpool.

It's still a mistery if once the hype ends the games will remain functional. I think a good example to be watched is Axie Infinity which seems to have lost its momentum, as there isn't a constant flux of new players anymore to keep the prices of the axies and SLP expensive.

The problem with these games is sustainability. The infinite supply of raw materials created in game are too much at some point to maintain the perfect balance between demand and supply. Furthermore, players who cheat the games through methods to automatize the gameplay (bots) are a big issue at online games in general, which totally crash games' economies, devaluing goods' values and creating excessive supply.

If play to earn games' developers where able to ban bots, the economy would become more competitive, healthy and encouraging to legit players to invest their time and money on this activity. Sadly it doesn't happen, consequently making some players suspect the platforms' managers benefit themselves somehow by the chaos promoted by the cheaters...

So Jack Dorsey is starting an organization to provide funding for the legal defense of the developers, starting with this current case. I'm not sure how that fits with the ruling I posted above that CSW will have to pay a deposit up front to cover their legal costs, but it's a welcome development nonetheless.

I would think everyone was happy for that result for the last game of the round. I have kept the same on the overall one at place 30 which we still have alot more to go so will be alright finishing in the top 20 by seasons end.
Both Southampton and West Ham did the pool proud and their fans. With both ending in clean sheets for the home squads.
But yes, alot of people did miss their picks for this round having these matches being played midweek. Due to the other tournaments in the league.

Nevertheless, Inter remains the best team so far because Inter only got one loss so far, at least it is a very good achievement and can guarantee for Inter to keep the Scudetto. I also realized that the points gap is very close, so there is no guarantee that they will easily get the title. But for me, when a team can consistently get points even if it's just one point to avoid losing, at least it's enough to prove that Inter are the better ones.
