Brentford actually played a defensive game in the second half, just like you said. Chelsea did exactly what you said in the second half. Chelsea scored twice in the second half to take the lead against Brentford, but Brentford levelled up against Chelsea in additional time to deny Chelsea all three points. Well before Brentford vs Chelsea started, I already made it clear in this thread that Chelsea wouldn't defeat Brentford, and the game played as I expected.
Chelsea are stronger than Brentford that tried a lot and managed to rescue one point when facing with Chelsea. It's an impressive draw from Brentford but oppositely, it's a disappointed result for Chelsea. They should defend better and secure all three points from Brentford rather than only 1 point that means 2 points disadvantage to other competitors in Premier League title race. Ridiculous, I really don't understand why Maresca chose to bench their main players. Was it because he underestimated Brentford? Chelsea had already conceded a goal in the first half. And finally, Cole Palmer was only brought on in the 56th minute, and in the 61st minute he scored. It's a shame that Maresca's starting eleven this time, wasting a great opportunity when the competition in the EPL is very tight, they should have been much more prepared for whoever they faced. Chelsea almost won, however, Fabio Carvalho thwarted it all in the late minute with a goal from him in 90+3, assisted by K. Ajer.  Source: Brentford vs ChelseaIn sports generally and football particularly, you either win a match or lose it. There is nothing like almost win a match, it does not make any sense if eventually you lost it. Chelsea with their ambition to compete for Premier League title must play more carefully in order to secure their goal advantage and turn it to final win and three points. If they continue to have "almost win" like this, they will drop more points and fail in title competition. |

It feels like Xabi Alonso has revived and revamped this Madrid side, they seem to be more focused and playing as a team now it’s like a fully compact team and they show they can really be dogged and resilient to get the win and the most important 3 points. I like the build up to the el Classico. Real Madrid is Waxing strong while their arch rivals Barcelona are having shitty start to the season. The bad defence that cost them the champions league is still their worst situation now.
Real Madrid got perfect start in La Liga with 4 wins in 4 matches and got maximum 12 points but Barcelona has a delayed match so they can reduce point difference with Real Madrid to only 2 points. This means even with this perfect start, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still near with each other and the La Liga title competition is still very tight between them. In La Liga, Getafe is making big surprise with 9 points so far and they remind me about Girona but it's not easy for Getafe to succeed like Girona two seasons ago.  This match between athletico and Villarreal was really am interesting one, and am surprise that no one is really talking about this match between athletico and Villarreal right now, and if I can remember vividly this match was among the heat talk on this thread few days back before today, where a lot of people was projecting Villarreal to win the match due to their performance, but things went the other way round, athletico secure their first triumph of the 2025/2026 LA Liga season with a 2:0 win over Villarreal. Although Villarreal is still in a good position in the LA LIga table fourth place quite impressing, while athletico is in nineth place in the LA LIga table. Atletico Madrid eventually got their first win in this season and it's good for their recovery even it is not enough for bringing them back to top four of La Liga where they are familiar with. If Simeone and his players can get one, two or three more wins in coming matches, the club rank in La Liga will be improved a lot and they can join top four a first time in this season. |

Managing a club like Real Madrid is a very big opportunity, but at the same time, a very big responsibility because, for the kind of club that Real Madrid is, they want to keep up with a good football performance, so any coach they are bringing should know that he is not coming in to be fancy but to make an impact on the club, and the club will do everything possible, even in terms of resources, to support the coach just to improve the performance of the club, and Alonso has not yet proven anything, and he should know that if the management does not get what he wants, they are going to sack him for sure.
Managing a big club like Real Madrid is an opportunity but also a big challenge for any coach. There is chance of getting good wage there, as well as opportunity to win big titles and be recorded by history but pressure is surely huge. If you fail in some matches, pressure escalates quicky while if you fail in a season without titles, let's wait for a sack announcement from the club. And Madrid plays the Champions League like they aren't playing anything because of the experience they have developed in playing. They have maintained that consistency, and Alonso will get more pressure if he does not fix things the way they are supposed to be. Madrid deserves more than what they are getting currently.
Xabi Alonso actually has faced with pressure since the summer but to upgrade his coach career, managing Real Madrid is a great opportunity for him. If he can overcome challenge and succeed with them by winning titles, he will become one of most wanted coaches in this young coach generation. His value on transfer market will become much higher than now and he will also has chance of managing national teams like Spain. |

Currently, the two teams' contrasting performances make me feel that this will be a bit difficult for Fiorentina, even though they are the home team for the upcoming match.
Fiorentina's current statistics in their first two matches show two draws with one goal scored. This is clearly not an ideal start, though not entirely disappointing. However, for a club of Fiorentina's caliber, this outcome is not what was anticipated. In contrast, Napoli has secured full points in their two matches and maintained a clean sheet.
This could certainly have an impact, as it affects mentality and confidence. While it may not have a massive effect, in a big match like this, even small things can become significant if not addressed properly before the match begins.
Fiorentina don't play well like last season and they only can hope that Moise Kean can bring his excellent performances for Italy to their club in this big match with Napoli. Napoli with Conte management and some player supplements in this summer seem to be very ready to defend their Scudetto and they will aim at beating Fiorentina that is in theory one of competitors for top four. Napoli have become very dangerous with Conte as they don't have too powerful attacks but they know how to win matches even just minimally. It's not like Fiorentina as they are too dependent on Moise Kean in scoring goals and it can be their weakness in this match. If Conte let Napoli constrains Kean well, Fiorentina will almost be unable to score goal and will have maximum 1 point from Napoli. |

Based on the current performance of Inter Milan and Juventus, the latter is my favourite. They have been able to win two of their games; meanwhile, Inter Milan lost against Udinese in their last game.
Not only differences in their latest forms which is better for Juventus, but also home advantage for Juventus. Juventus with double advantages from better form and a home stadium will have good chance to beat Inter Milan in Turin and take three points so that they will continue the Scudetto race with Napoli and even can have point difference against Napoli if Napoli won't have 3 points from Fiorentina in Florence. Juventus has been better under Igoh Tudo. I've not watched Juve yet this season, so I can't say how good they are. However, playing at home might be an advantage. It looks like a match with not too many goals, as their matches usually are. I won't go with a straight win to any team. A double chance for either team will be a safer option.
Juventus were in bad situation and almost failed to finish in top four of Serie A last season but Tudor was appointed and helped them to achieve it. Even there is a lot of doubt about Tudor management capability, he has managed to win first two matches with Juventus and is ready to repeat it when hosting Inter Milan this weekend. I am still doubtful about Tudor ability and how far he can go with Juventus this season but a legendary coach must start like Tudor so let's see. |

If only I have the money, I'd be buying every bear season. That's the only time one can buy Bitcoin at a bargained price. Once Bitcoin starts to recover, you'd say goodbye to discounted prices. Although there are always dips along the way, the price won't be as cheap. You'd be waiting for the next Bitcoin winter for the best deals. It may take years. So, yeah, I certainly consider a bear market a good time for buying, an opportunity to fill my wallet.
Dollar Cost Averaging strategy can help you to invest your money in bitcoin with time, gradually but very regularly over time. The invesment money for each purchase with DCA strategy can be small but over time like 1 year, 2 years, 4 years or 8 years, it will sum up to a very big investment capital. This DCA calculator shows that if you invest $100 monthly in Bitcoin, and have done it for four years since 12 September 2021 so far, total investment capital you have invested is $4,900 which is big enough or even impossible for you to spend in one purchase. https://costavg.com/ |

I agree it is the right decision. He won't have a chance to play in Liverpool. Isak and Hugo will be the priority for the CF position (striker). Nunez won't also play as the winger because Liverpool has enough wingers. So, the best option is leaving Liverpool and join with a club that needs a CF. Al Hilal has no quality CF since Mitrović moved to Al-Rayyan. You're right, Nunez will be the main CF and play regularly in Al Hilal. This is much better than staying in Liverpool.
He had chances and were given opportunities for playing many times but he destroyed his position in Liverpool by poor performances. With many attacking star players joining Liverpool this summer, Darwin Nunez knew that he has to leave especially next summer will be World Cup 2026. Moving to other big clubs in Europe is risky with only several months left till the World Cup tournament and Saudi Professional League is a perfect destination for him. He will receive good salary, high chance of playing in most of matches and also can play well to gain his confidence back. This is a perfect league for Nunez to prepare well for World Cup 2026 with his national team. This is one of the advantage to play in Saudi league. Earning huge salary will be a satisfaction for every player. There is no another league that offer a huge salary as in SPL. I'm also very sure that Nunez will be very happy and comfortable playing with Al Hilal as long as he still can play in his national team, too. I don't see something wrong with Nunez career. If he can play well in Al Hilal, he still has a chance to return to top European leagues again.
Salary is one of reasons but having more appearances there is another big reason for Darwin Nunez. He is a main player of Uruguay national team and must be so well-prepared for the World Cup. Staying mostly on bench in Liverppol surely is not his good preparation while in Saudi Arabia, he is one of biggest star players there. |

Your bitcoin transactions are secure by Bitcoin blockchain, its decentralization and its network hashrate so that there is no irreversible transactions, no 51% attacks. Multisign wallet is used to co-sign a transaction but it's for securing your main bitcoin wallet from which bitcoins are moving to another wallet or address (the receiver). Multisign wallet will cost you more in transaction fee and rather than using it, you can use cold wallets like open-source hardware wallets.

Well, at least Igor has started the season with good results, with two early wins, with three goals for and zero conceded. While signing several players who aren't particularly expensive, it should at least strengthen their lineup, both in starting and substitution roles.
And what's clear is that Igor can still utilize Dušan Vlahović as their CF. They've also signed Loïs Openda. We'll see how Igor can manage the tactics, as the next two matches will be tough for them: against Inter Milan in Serie A and Dortmund in the UCL.
Dusan Vlahovic has diversifying skills which are helpful for him to play well at both striker and forward positions. He also has good skills for deadly accurate free-kicks which sometimes can help Juventus to solve a match. Juventus and their fans did not support Vlahovic and wanted this player to go but eventually he did not left the club. From now, he has to accept and move onward as a susbitution in Juventus, but he is able to make great contributions for them as he has shown so far in first two matches in Serie A. Meanwhile, Cremonese have surprised in their last two matches, securing three points and sitting in third place in the standings. However, I believe this is only temporary, they may run out of steam as the season approaches its midway point. Overall, it's still too early to predict who will emerge victorious this season, but Napoli seems to deserve to be the favorite.
Cremonese does not have enough player resource as well as experience in Serie A to succeed in this season. They are making big surprise but they will have to maintain it during a very long season in order to achieve good ending rank. They must focus on match by match, and aim at completion of relegation figth successfully first before thinking of higher position in top 10 and even higher. With a small club like Cremonese, each win in Serie A this season is already big achievement for them. |

Manchester City have secured only three points this season, one win, and two loss. Honestly, this isn't a great start. If they keep playing like this they will be a problem, because I don't think they are strong enough to contend for major tournaments this season. Despite new signings, their performance hasn't improved much. Well, big clubs often have a bad run and bounce back.
The second half of last season with some players bought in the winter transfer season and more players joined in this summer transfer season are not enough for Pep Guardiola to fix issues and improve weakness in Manchester City squad. It reflects on their terrible performance quality and bad results so far, with 2 defeats after three matches, it's unacceptable for a club that want to win Premier League title. To win Premier League title, Manchester City will only be allowed to lose 3 or 4 more matches in 35 remaining matches in this season, and it seems they will lose more than 4 more matches so winning the league title in this season is impossible with them. I believe this match will be tough because Manchester United and City both struggling to regain their form. United are facing similar issues to Manchester City, This makes it hard to predict a winner, because United has quality players who can challenge City, but is just that Amorim tactics aren't effective yet. In my view, Manchester United is in better shape than City. United's main issue seems to be the coach, whereas City has bigger problems, from the coach to the entire team, and they've been struggling with this since last season.
On verge of a crisis start, any match is tough with Manchester City and it will be difficult for them to beat any opponent and get three points. It's strange to see Manchester City continue with unstable performance like this after spending a lot of money for player purchases recent months. If they don't wake up and improve soon, they will even struggle with race for a humble target like top four position only. |

I didn’t expect Inter to perform like that against PSG. When they played against Barcelona in the semifinals, everything looked different, and i was expecting a big fight against PSG. Instead, we saw a completely broken Inter that couldn’t get back into the game until the end. Inter is still a good team, and they can go far this season as well, hopefully together with Napoli, the team i support. I also hope that Lukaku recovers from his injury and rejoins the squad as soon as possible.
Having a second final match in Champions League within three seasons, Inter Milan would feel confidently for a win especially after they beat Barcelona down in emotional and impressive matches. The big defeat in the final match is unwanted and shocked result with Inter Milan from their boss, coach to players. I believe that even PSG did not believe that they can beat Inter Milan with a landslide result like this. Losing a match, especially a final match is bad, but Inter Milan are facing with worse things with a departure of Inzaghi and an appointment of Chivu. They will have to play with a very young and experienced coach, Chivu, in this season. With pressure from successful seasons with Inzaghi, Chivu has carried a very stressful job in Inter Milan. The coming match with Juventus will be a big test for Chivu, and it even can decides his coach position after the match. If Inter Milan gets one point or three points from Juventus, Chivu will continue to be Inter Milan head coach but if the match ends as a defeat, Chivu's position will be at risk of sack. |

But when it comes to Liverpool and Burnley, it will be an insult on Liverpool to even compare them to Burnley, Burnley can not beat Liverpool based on their current rating except something changes before or in the middle of the match, or that Burnley turned out to be Extra lucky, but on a normal strength to strength and tactics to tactics levels, Burnley can't withstand Liverpool especially in their coming match.
Burnley is not at same level of Liverpool but the FIFA virus through latest international matches can give Burnley some kind of advantage. Liverpool have more star players and are certainly more affected by FIFA days than Burnley. With better player fitness for this match, Burnley can play this match more energetic than Liverpool and they will have better probability of getting points from Liverpool than another match between them without FIFA day effects. Liverpool has not lost a single match so far. Liverpool has played very well in every match. I hope that Liverpool will win. Because Arsenal lost to Liverpool a few days ago. Now Arsenal has to win against Nottingham. If Arsenal can win then they have hope this season. Nottingham is in very good form at the moment but Arsenal is a little weak in attack which is why I have some doubts about this match. But let's see what happens.
Premier League this season is at its early match days and Liverpool actually did not lose any match including a big match with Arsenal. They won all matches so far and got maximum points which are helpful for their title defending task in this season. Other clubs in Premier League especially title candidates and competitors like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City will have to pay more attention on Liverpool. They have to do more analysis on Liverpool tactics in general to Liverpool players' strength and weakness in order to prepare well for direct matches with this strong team in the future. With good transfers from the summer transfer market, I believe that Liverpool will become a stronger team in this season with better resources for substitutions during a long season. It increases their chance of defending the league title successfully even facing with challenge from many other big clubs. |

In reality, however, it's the ordinary people who find it hard to move money. You go to a remittance center, you're asked forms to fill in, questions to answer, and so on. You bring money via plane, you have to make reports, satisfy power-tripping staff's questions, erase their suspicions, and so on. In the banks, you have to prove your financial capacity, your source of funds, and so forth.
Meanwhile, from where I am, government officials are moving billions not just within the country but also across international borders. Their stolen wealth easily reach their offshore accounts.
With Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, you can bring your wallets and wallet backups around easily as they are more easily portable than gold, cash for example, and you can control your wallets, coins, transactions (with non custodial wallets) without dependence on any bank to broadcast transactions. This is an interesting discussion on how to get through customs at airports with your bitcoins. What would be the best way to get through customs at an airport with your Btc?It's also necessarily to share another article. How to back up a seed phrase? |

Yes, it's a shame that Darwin Nunez, who is still young, chose to move to the SPL. However, he certainly had compelling reasons for his departure to join Al Hilal. If I'm not mistaken, only the Arab League would be willing to pay him a large sum of money. The bottom line is that it seems the money Al Hilal offered him was the reason he decided to leave Liverpool for the SPL. However, I think his career in the Saudi Arabian League is also a good thing, as many star players have joined Saudi Arabian League teams.
In my opinion, the arrival of Darwin Nunez from Liverpool will certainly make Al Hilal stronger, and the arrival of Joao Felix to Al Nassr will certainly make Al Nassr even stronger. This will certainly make the Al Nassr rivalry even more exciting, as both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be even stronger. This ultimately makes me want to watch the Al Hilal vs. Al Nassr match soon, but unfortunately, that match is still a long way off.
Darwin Nunez and Joao Felix have similar issues and after failing in Europe, they wanted to find a new league, new club for their new career chapters. Money is another big reason as they can receive very good wages that are better than from European clubs by playing for Saudi Arabia clubs. It's actually worthy for serious consideration and eventually they both chose Saudi Professional League as destinations. Darwin Nunez even performed better than Joao Felix recent seasons but by choosing Saudi Professional League, I guess they want to play more regularly, with less pressure and can have better performances as their preparations for World Cup 2026. If don't have any injury, Darwin Nunez position in Uruguay team is quite solid for World Cup 2026 while Joao Felix must try more to be called for that tournament. |

It's true that last season, we saw Nottingham Forest perform well. At that time, even the strongest teams in the Premier League, if I'm not mistaken, sometimes struggled against Nottingham Forest. It's true that Nottingham Forest could have even secured a Champions League spot, but unfortunately, their performance declined at the end of the season, ultimately failing to secure a Champions League spot.
Last season Nottingham Forest actually did their job well but their ending is worse than Girona in La Liga two seasons ago. Moving forward, I believe that Nottingham Forest will face with similar future like Girona and they will return to survival fight in order to maintain their appearance in Premier League only. It's relegation zone fight for Nottingham Forest as their quality basically is not enough for higher positions especially position that can bring them to Conference League, Europa League or Champions League. I think it's common to see a newly promoted side perform exceptionally well in their EPL but struggle at the end, then their performance falls off a cliff next season before they get relegated or stabilized in the mid-table or bottom-table, depending on how well run the club is. I remember Brighton, Sunderland, Bournemouth, etc. So yeah, some managers can perform well on their first EPL campaign but struggle due to various reasons. In this case, it looks like there's a friction on the board if what the media said is close to the truth.
At the end of the day, if your sporting director can't work together with your coach, one of them must go (like what happened to ETH). CMIIW.
It is common fall after a previous successful season because those clubs don't have good finance, player resource and development strategy. They mostly fail to convince their star players to stay with their clubs, and losing best players to other clubs surely cause big troubles for their consistency. Some clubs can do it well like Sevilla in La Liga, Atalanta in Serie A or Dortmund in Bundesliga but most underdog clubs fail with this hard mission. |

In my opinion, a lot should be expected from Milan, precisely because they are not playing in european competitions and have full focus on Serie A. But they haven’t exactly shined at the start. We’ll see let’s not forget they have Modric in the squad, who can organize the team as captain and help Allegri with his experience. As for Atalanta, knew it would be like that Lookman and Retegui, we remember, were a tandem and absolute goal machines. In any case, i support what you said: between Milan and Atalanta, i would also choose Atalanta, at least for now.
Atalanta played well in previous seasons including the past season but they lost Gasperini this summer while AC Milan performed bad in the last season but hired an experienced coach this summer, Allegri. Changes in their clubs at head coach positions are big and together with player resource changes especially in Atalanta with many star players left their club, it's more possibly that Atalanta will struggle in this season than AC Milan. They are two competitors for top four together with other big and ambitious clubs like Napoli, Inter Milan, Juventus, AS Roma and maybe Lazio as well as Fiorentina or Bologna. This season would be very challenging for Atalanta as a new era without Gasperini at the head coach position. The Juventus vs. Inter Milan match will indeed be the most anticipated match. Because in the end, we can see which team is stronger at the start of this season. Will it be Inter Milan or Juventus? We won't know that until the match takes place. But honestly, I think Juventus is currently better than Inter Milan. Honestly, I don't have high hopes for Inter Milan after losing Simone Inzaghi. I'm still unsure about their current coach, who doesn't have much experience. But that doesn't mean the current coach is bad. I just think he needs more experience. So his first season here might not be as good as expected. But if he can keep Inter Milan in the top four this season, that will make him a good coach and will be praised a lot. But let's see. But what is clear is that in the Juventus vs. Inter Milan match, I will favor Juventus.
It is a big match in Italy and this match is important for two young coaches, Tudor at Juventus and Chivu at Inter Milan, to show their management capability too. Chivu with one win and one loss with Inter Milan has been in more pressure and worse situation than Tudor at Juventus with two wins so far. In player resources, I think Inter Milan have a little bit better resource than Juventus but in a direct big match like this, different in latest forms and player resources can be not important. Both clubs have enough star players to decide result of this match and probabilities of winning for two clubs are quite equally. |

Now it is not possible to say what will happen or not. Because we can never tell the present by looking at the previous matches. Yes, Manchester City played very well in the previous season. But this season we cannot see any performance of Manchester City. Because they have played 2 matches, one win and one loss. If they have this situation, then they will never be able to win this season. If we look at the latest performance of Manchester City, it is clear that their position is not very good. They have to work very hard because they have to find out where they are going wrong and fix it.
Play very well in the previous season? Did you miss that Manchester City had big crisis last season and they struggled till the end for getting a position in top four of Premier League? They won many titles in Premier League during the last decade but it is previous seasons, not the last one when they had a crisis. Their performances in early matches of this season did not show that they have been fully resolved their problems and this means another crisis can appear anytime in this season for Manchester City.  I saw this and the news that accompanied it was that Barcelona is getting fed up with Rashford and how his not been what they expected from him. But my question is, if this is true about Barcelona wanting to return Rashford back to Manchester United, for isn't it too early for this from Barcelona? It's just been three matches played and he has even played enough for him to be judged. To me it's too early for this. It is possibly rumor but I see logic in this news. In pre-season matches, Rashford performed quite badly and he missed some unbelievable chances. It is unacceptable at a club that needs to fight against strongest clubs in La Liga and Champions League for those titles. In big matches, opportunities are not too much and if Rashford wastes a chance, Barcelona can lose an important match that has value of as called 6 points. |

Because some people decide to receive there signature payment on exchange doesn’t mean they are holding the bitcoin there, after withdrawing some might just decide to make use of p2p to convert the amount which they want to there local currency, and just send the rest to their non custodial wallet and hold. I can still remember so well when the gas fee was kind of high, and people were finding it difficult to make transactions, even campaign manager were finding it difficult to make payment then, I guess that was when people decide to make use of exchange to make things easy for them, but some people didn’t request for change of wallet when the gas fee went back to normal, and they keep on receiving there payment on exchange, but that doesn’t mean they are holding on exchange.
By using addresses on centralized exchanges as receiving addresses for signature campaign payments, they possibly only plan to do either. - Selling bitcoins to stable coin and withdraw stable coin to their non custodial wallets. - Selling bitcoins and trading with altcoins on that centralized exchange. The first plan is good enough but the second plan is more dangerous because trading is difficult and most traders have loss in trading. Both plans have same risk by unknown future of that centralize exchange. Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts. |
