italian cup:
Inter 1 - 2 empoli
Inter is losing the game, maybe they don't value this Coppa Italia, they should be more worried, but inter has an easy game in Serie A, I don't understand why they wouldn't value this game
Perhaps Coppa Italia is not priority of Inter Milan but losing a game against Empoli is something not right. Even without their best players, Inter Milan should not lose this match. It can be a beginning of something not too good with general performance of Inter Milan but it is too soon. Let's see whether Inter Milan can get out of it or will repeat the slippery fall in performance like Napoli. Lazio will be hosting Atalanta this weekend. Lazio's performance lately is quite good, but beating Atalanta won't be an easy task. Because, Atalanta really needs more points, they are currently 4 points from Napoli, and also 1 point ahead of Juventus. Which means, losing against Lazio might result to them Falling out of the top 4. The match will be super Interesting and I can't wait. However, their last meeting ended in 2-2 draw, and we can also witness a draw on Saturday. But, many goals are likely to be scored. Therefore, I will be placing an Over2.5 bet on it.
Atalanta are feeling pressure from Juventus and they will have to try to beat their opponents to maintain current small gap against Juventus. They will have to protect their current advantage by their effort and can not simply wait for mistakes from Juventus to keep their fourth position on the table. Lazio are not weak and I consider them in a same level as of Atalanta even Lazio have lower rank on the table. So this match will be very interesting and tight. Atalanta have more players who can decide match and it is their advantage. Lazio rely too much on Immobile for their goals. |

One way or another, they made this decision. Perez confirmed that Real offered 200 million euros for Mbappe, but was refused LinkAn amazing decision by the management of PSG, it's like allin where their goal is to win the Champions League and that they are willing to pay such an insane price. But what happens if they fail again? It will be like a giant loss, 200 million euros is serious money even at the level of the top clubs. It is the price in the last summer and honestly it is a very expensive price especially if we know that Mbappe will be free in 2022 summer. PSG took huge risk to determinant keep Mbappe in Paris. They bet that in the end they will successfully convince Mbappe to stay with them in Paris. If they fail, they will lose him for zero transfer fee. They accept very big risk, $200M or $100 is very high price for a player who has only one year of contract. I see that PSG were very confident about their finance and ability to convince Mbappe. In addition, they really need him in Paris. If not, they did not take that risk. |

I think keep potential with Haaland looking his statistic scored 15 goals in 13 games
Haaland is a really good goal machine and he maintains his scoring rate not only in Dortmund, Bundesliga but also in Champions League and his national team Norway. His injury affects Dortmund and Norway too. Norway fails to finish in top 2 position and lost chance to join the World Cup. It will be a second big tournament Haaland can not join with his Norway team. I think he was injury last several moth and big impact for Dortmund where out from champion league stage and first time failed pass on group stage. Now Haaland back but looks little chance take top scorer on Bundesliga because he left 10 goals from Lewandoski where playing 23 games. Bundesliga as team with 18 participants and each team just playing 34 games, left than 11 games maybe is not enough for Haaland chase the number of deficit goals from Lewandoski, maybe if Lewandoski got injury and left several match has great opportunity for Haaland.
Haaland can beat Lewandowski but Dortmund will not be able to beat Bayern. Because Bayern have more good players in squad and in substitution bench so that they can easily to go through hard time with some injuries. Dortmund struggle to do the same because quality of their squad players and substitute players are very big. |

Barcelona does have to issue players who receive big salaries to improve their current financial condition. After countinho left for Aston Villa, there's certainly a bit of leeway for Barcelona, but for team improvement this season, actually requires good quality players. This is a dilemma for Barcelona as a team known for spending expensively on players, having to let go of their best players slowly. Another rumor, their young players Riqui Puig, on AC Milan radars, maybe this is good chance for Barca  I know that they already sent Coutinho to Aston Villa and Griezman to Atletico Madrid but there are still many unused or useless players who cost them a lot from salary. One of such players are Dembele and as said because of overpaid salary, it is challenging for Barcelona to find clubs that can accept to partially pay salary for such players, in a bought transfer or loan. Puig can be a future of Barcelona so how do they want him to go? |

I am also glad that Leipzig has finally started to climb up the standings. The German Championship lacks worthy competitors Bayern Munich and potentially Leipzig should be one of such competitors. We can say that the team has prepared fruitfully during the winter break and now has two wins to its credit. Not without a bit of luck plus the skill of the goalkeeper allowed Leipzig not only to keep the advantage, but also to score their own goal in a counterattack. In any case, I would like to wish Tedesco further success in working with the team and progress not only in the results, but also in the team game, because in a round there will be a game with Bayern Munich.
Leipzig are growing up with a very good strategy. They don't join transfer competition and their strategy is similar to Dortmund and Sevilla. They focus on young players and grow them up, provide good opportunities for young and talented players to grow. Then the club get benefits from home-grown star players. Don't join transfer race means they will not break their finance because of crazy transfer and high salary for star players. See what happened in Barcelona and we will see how unsustainable such transfer race is. Even a giant club like Barcelona can not survive from that race if things are badly handled and results on fields are not good to support their finance. Hoffenheim - Dortmund game is going to be really interesting. Dortmund will need to win this game somehow to be able to continue keeping up with Bayern Munich. Maybe they would even decrease the gap with them also in case Bayern Munich lose points against Herha Berlin in their away game. Dortmund are going to play their game before Bayern Munich so they should be focusing on their game completely to win. Hoffenheim are really tough to defeat but Dortmund are in the mood now. They can win this.
Dortmund will have to word hard to win this match with Hoffeinheim and I see risk that Dortmund might not complete their task as well. Will Bayern lose points when their opponent are Herta Berlin? Personally I don't think it will happen from the domination of Bayern and from what they are performing recently. Lewandowski and Bayern are on fire now so Herta Berlin likely not an opponent can break a win streak of Bayern. |

Spanish Super Cup Real Madrid! Congratulations Los Galacticos. They managed to win the championship by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 as a result of good play. Real Madrid is the first team that comes to mind in Spain when the cup is mentioned. Of course, according to Athletic Bilbao, they were also the favorites of the match. Still, anything can happen in these finals. Real Madrid wants to continue in the league without loss by raising morale because they won the cup.
Real Madrid have one title and next they will fight for La Liga title which they have lot of advantage on the table now. In Champions League, we will have to wait because Real Madrid are not biggest club in Champions League now. However, they have enough good power to win it so let's wait for their performance there. Barcelona let go of their star players or key players due to the deteriorating financial situation, so Barcelona had no other option but a sudden decision to make at that time. You can't compare it to Madrid, which is still relatively safe in terms of finances, so it will be easier for them to prepare everything to keep the team solid.
The previous presidency brought many stars or young potential players to Camp Nou and gave them top salary. They are burden for the club financially in last few seasons, especially now when the finance in Barcelona is very bad. Worse, their contribution for the club is very small and it is unacceptable if we consider their too high salary rate. Coutinho, Dembele, Griezman, Umtiti, etc. It is better for Barcelona to sell them or at least loan and reduce salary burden. The bad thing is because of their high salary, finding other clubs for them is very difficult. |

In this match, AC Milan was playing well, but there were several things that made AC Milan lose. After the goal was disallowed by the referee, even though the Messias position was not offside and in my opinion the incident should have been "play on" because there was an advantage for Milan to score. Milan players seemed to no longer have focus, so Spezia managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes of the game.
It is football. If you dominate a game but can not score, in bad day, you end with 1 point but in worst day, you will end with a defeat if your opponent manages to score a wining goal. Spezia managed to do this in the end minutes and it is very bad for AC Milan because they almost did not have too many time left to find for an equalizer. Well, with this victory, Spezia is still become "top club killer" in Serie A this season.
They can kill the chance to win Scudetto for AC Milan too. The season is on with more matches so AC Milan will have more matches to fight with Inter Milan in the race but if in the end, they fail, this match will be one of bad defeats they will regret a lot. |

In my opinion, Everton should have fired Benitez a long time ago, indeed at the beginning of the season Everton performance was quite impressive by successfully winning consecutive wins, but Benitez predictable strategy has made Everton continue to sink, and even in 13 matches they only won 1 time, right?
Everton did good in the past season but in this one, they are doing very terrible and having a few points more than delegation area. It is unexpected result at beginning of season. Their players have good quality and Benitez might have biggest responsibility for this bad results so far. That's a pretty bad achievement for a team as big as Everton? From some media that I read, there are several names that might replace Benitez at Everton, Gattuso, Mourinho, Martinez, Rooney and Lampard.
Martinez is best because he did managed Everton in many seasons but they will have to wait until after World Cup 2022 to sign with Martinez. Everton can do this in summer but for now they have to find a new coach even for temporary and short term purposes. Lampard and Rooney are best and I know Rooney does good management in Derby County but Lampard has more experience in Premier League so I would like to choose Lampard. |

You are right. Atlanta's players did not allow Inter Milan to dominate. They wanted to share the points. But Inter Milan needed a win. But they have failed. However, since Inter Milan failed to score 3 points. So they will have to fight harder in the coming days to win the title.
Atalanta did good defense and they created some dangerous counter attacks too. Inter Milan had chances to score goals but they faced with some risky moments from Atalanta. I think a draw for them is a fair result. Both teams need to win that match because they are hunting by AC Milan and Juventus. A draw is not a result they wanted. Today I am betting on the victories of Napoli and AC Milan. In view of yesterday's draw in the Atalanta - Inter match, both teams have a chance to make up a few points in relation to their immediate rivals. Milan is the clear favorite to win, Napoli are facing a more difficult task. However, a few recently injured players are returning to Napoli's squad and there is a long list of absent players in Bologna. I don't think Napoli will miss this chance.
AC Milan are more stable than Napoli and betting on them is better than on Napoli. In my opinion, Napoli still are in their crisis and they did not return to their best form. Consequently, in coming matches, Napoli will have more risk to lose points with whatever opponent teams. If AC Milan win, they will take over the first position in Serie A from Inter Milan. It is a great motivation for them to play very ambitiously and aggressively. |

Dortmund and Bayern Munich were really great at the last game weekend. Dortmund got a very comfortable win against Freiburg by 5-1 and it was more than delightful to me. But Bayern Munich's doing the same against Koln didn't make Dortmund very happy obviously. Bayern Munich ended Koln by 4-0 and Lewandowski had such a perfect performance by a hat-trick. It was like a retaliation to Haaland as he scored two goals in the Freiburg game. Now we still see a 6-point difference and I see that Dortmund have a very tough away game ahead vs Hoffenheim next week. Freiburg and Bayern are different opponents and Dortmund will have a bigger challenge when their opponent is Bayern. I don't know Dortmund begin match against Bayern fearfully or not but such matches are never easy for Dortmund. Especially when they have to begin with a lower position and big point gap need to be filled or reduced. It brings pressure on Dortmund players and can indirectly make them play worse than what they usually do. Right now dortmund are only behind by 6 points and if they are consistent enough this season, of course it won't be difficult for them to catch up with these points later, especially for bayern munchen later when the round of 16 champions league begins, bayern munchen will have a busy schedule and of course of course they will lose focus and possibly slip in the league
6 points are not too big but there are two big questions - Will Dortmund be able to play well in rest of season? - Will Bayern lose focus then lost so many points in Bundesliga because of Champions League? In many seasons, Bayern have to play in Champions League but they still manage to win in Bundesliga. So what reasons make you think that they will not be able to do the same in this season? |

Why are we talking about 2036 when, by the end of this decade, 99% of all BTC will be in circulation - and 1% (210 000 BTC) will remain for the next 100+ years? Likewise, if Saylor and his company continue to shop at the current rate, they will have much more than 160 000 BTC in 14 years - just 10 000 BTC a year would mean 260 000 BTC by 2036.
We don't know about their plans in details but I believe with their belief in Bitcoin, they will stack up more satoshis and Bitcoins for their portfolio. The unknown thing is how fast or slow will they stack up more. Your calculation is right and this figure given is helpful to convince people that there are not many Bitcoin for all people on Earth. Only Microstrategy can buy many Bitcoin when it is cheap in their perspective. If more big institutional investors join the market, big party will be triggered. But in order to be part of future party, people should own Bitcoin or fragment of Bitcoin. All this under the assumption that investing in Bitcoin will continue to be profitable, and more importantly, that Saylor will be alive by then - although he is still relatively young (57 years old).
I wish him the best with his health but MicroStrategy have management structure to keep going with or without Saylor. |

Bayern will not miss their chance, become champions again. Borussia need to win all the games and hope that Bayern will lose points, but I don't think it's realistic for Dortmund to win all the remaining games. For this don't need to look into the distant future, today they need to win Freiburg, and this is not such an easy task this season. Although if you look at the statistics, then Freiburg plays very poorly against Borussia away.
Bayern have good total points than Dortmund and Dortmund will have to perform better and get more points than Bayern in rest of this season. They also will need to get more dropping points from Bayern to catch the competitor on the table. It is not easy if we see how Bayern can beat many clubs in Bundesliga. Dortmund in their side don't show that they can win too many matches without Haaland who seems to leave them soon. In this season, Haaland contribution drops because of his injury and he plays less matches than last 2 seasons. When he plays, he does well but problem is he missed more matches for Dortmund. Freiburg are far lower and they will not possibly challenge Bayern for the title. |

Satoshi Nakamoto the founder of Bitcoin is the famous name in this century. His revolutionary invention facilitate world's economic currency system. He is our pride. But why do he hide himself? Reputation is supposed to roll at his feet. Many people come to the campaign claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
We don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto that can be a person, a group, a government-backed agency, foundation, etc. It is not accurate to call Satoshi Nakamoto as he. We don't know real reasons why Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared years ago. Account on the forum is satoshi has last active day on 13 December 2010. Assumption is Satoshi abandoned the community for goods but we don't know the truth. Because many things can happen and one of which is death or any accident. Skip reasons of this disappearance, we see good things it brings to Bitcoin community and it is enough for us. Of course as a person who love Bitcoin, I wish best for Satoshi Nakamoto. |

The absence of Mane and Salah from the start was a real advantage for Arsenal. Only when their game was forced to get a red card, everyone start defending until the round was over. even though at the same time without a card maybe Arsenal would be able to make a thin score. It's already very transparent and Liverpool wouldn't have done much without Mane and Salah.
Arsenal lost Xhaka too early but Liverpool failed to take advantage of it and win against Arsenal. They controlled the match but they can not score winning goal. The absence of Mane and Salah affect Liverpool attacking system and reduce their capability to score goals. Minamino missed good chance to score goal for them too. He missed it at 90 minute and wash the last chance to win for Liverpool. Minamino can do this better with what he has and it looks like playing for Liverpool brings lot of pressure on Minamino. This moment proves this because he does not make such terrible finish in other clubs. |

Although Napoli received two red cards, they received their first red card in the 64th minute. Napoli should have scored in the second half to secure the victory. They have failed. And then they have been ruthlessly defeated by playing with 9 players in extra time. Basically their game strategy was not right, that's why they lost.
Napoli have their crisis after amazing beginning in this season and they have yet been able to stop their crisis. It is a sharp fall from the top of table to third position and now hey have 6 points less than Inter Milan and 5 points less than AC Milan. Inter Milan have one more match to play and if they will, they will have 9 points different than Napoli. Napoli will have to focus on secure their third position and get a direct ticket to Champions League. It is not easy task because pressure from Atalanta and Juventus is big. Atalanta is definitely a strong team. But I don't want to think that Fiorentina is a weak team this season. I don't think those who can score 5 goals against a team like Napoli will easily lose to Atlanta. The match will definitely be competitive.
Fiorentina have two good seasons with sudden growth of Vlahovic who is a desired striker for many clubs in the Europe. He is one of most wanted player in Europe now and only stays behind Haaland and Mbappe on social media about transfer news for young players. |

Atlético is really in a crisis and this defeat was logical - in addition to scoring just one goal, they conceded two, which is a lot for a defensively oriented team. Tomorrow they play an away match with Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, I wonder if they will fly out of this tournament, will this shake Simeone's position as head coach?
Atletico Madrid make this season worse than all expectation because after the last successful season, they should do better in this season because their young players should play better after one more season. I am not sure what are reasons but in this season, their players, from old to young play very unstably. They score less goals and their defense even get worse. They have more conceded goals that break their best strength and Simeone can not fix it even he is an expert coach in this defense and counter-attack tactic. Although not really interested super cup final between Real Madrid vs Atletico Bilbao I think this great result each team where Bilbao without favorite can defeat Atletico Madrid 2-1, I think they have playing well how to make Atletico Madrid left early with Super Cup take the same step with Barcelona after defeating by Real Madrid.
Atletic Bilbao have one of most beautiful season in their history and they do it impressively because they don't have too much budget for transfer like other clubs in La Liga. Their budget can not be compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. Even much less than Sevilla or Valencia. Anyway, their team are a united one and they play as a whole team with good teammate spirit. I believe it is the biggest contributor to their success. On paper I think Madrid most favorite to get first super cup trophy in this years depend can play with full team where Vinicius Jr have back to the team. Left than three days later final Super Cup will held between Real Madrid vs Atletico Bilbao and both team will prepare well to get first trophy in this season.
I think so. Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti don't have big conflict among coach and players or players vs players. So they are playing very good and in match against Barcelona, Benzema did not try to shot because his team mate was moving forward to make a shot. In the end, it's a goal for Real Madrid. I see very good leadership from Benzema in that moment. |

441 times or more than 441 times, Bitcoin is in bloodbath but it does not die. I don't naively say that all people in market will be fine as same as Bitcoin. Because the market is a zero sum game so Bitcoin and capital will flow from pockets, wallets of winners to losers. There will be people get better with each bloodbath and in the same time, there will be people get killed, lost money by the market. Blood bath is short term movement of market but it does not affect long term trend of Bitcoin. If you keep your Bitcoin safely, from hackers, from market crash, from liquidations, you will be fine and more than that, get richer. https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/ |

Dortmund - Freiburg is a quite big game if we take its being the opening game into account. Not only Dortmund are doing good but also Freiburg are just killing it. Freiburg are seven points behind Dortmund and there are only one team between them in the standings. Freiburg continue to surprise people in this season. Maybe they won't be able to stay in the title rivalry till the end but they might end at one of the top four places as long as they keep this level. But in this game, Dortmund are capable enough to beat them and hopefully they will. It is a big game for two clubs but Bayern will be outsider and they can take advantage from this match. They have good gaps with two clubs and the best one is this match ends with a draw, then Bayern can move farther on the table in disappointment of both Dortmund and Freiburg. Freiburg do have a great season but they might not do better than Dortmund or even Leipzig. If they can manage to play well till the end, they can join Champions League next season but that might be best ending for them in this season. Dortmund again will be in fluctuation between fighting for trophy and maintaining their stable position in Champions League area. This season can be a last season they can fight against Bayern because we know soon Haaland will leave which will in turn affect general power of Dortmund. |

Manchester United are suppose to have the best attack in premier league this season, but why they cannot just perform to the level I expected them to is what I don't know.They have the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Sancho and Greenhood upfront,but still find it difficult to find the back of the the net.
It was the beginning and in theory but now things are Old Trafford are chaos. Their players are not looking at same directions. Mentally broken and they seem to have internal conflict with each other. What happened with Rashford and Greenwood in latest match shows it all. They did not want to make key passes to each other and it is not only between two players. Sancho does not show that he is happy in Old Trafford and in this season. They are all in pressure when Word Cup is coming and they need to fight with each other for a position in England squad. Bruno Fernadez has his issues too and it seems his performance gradually decrease over seasons. Ragnick put Bruno on the bench and it can be a start of something worse for Bruno. |
