Augsburg  vs  Leverkusen

Leverkusen's players are fighting hard today against Augsburg. Neither team could score in 40 minutes. However, Leverkusen's players are trying to dominate the match. Maybe in the second half they will increase the pace of attack.

After 40 minutes, Leverkusen had 75% of the ball and had 6 shots on goal. Despite several strong attacks, Augsburg's players and goalkeepers parried every attack. Augsburg's players will probably be happy with the draw. However, if they want to keep the top spot in the points table, the Leverkusen team must gain 3 points.

At this point I really believe that Sevilla might relegate this season because nothing seems to work for them and today Alaves took advantage of this and managed to score in minute 90 and basically win the game. I can also say that Alaves played way better than Sevilla and besides this , Sevilla really played a rough football today that resulted in a low of yellow cards for them Sad but I think it's all due to frustration of not being able to win a game.
I discussed Sevilla before and unexpectedly they lost again. This is a consecutive defeat in the last 3 matches and what is worse is that they lost to the La Liga promotion team this season, namely Alaves. Actually, I don't guarantee that Sevilla will be able to win and at least here Alaves are a little better than them.

An injury time goal scored by Duarte thwarted the previous draw and this resulted in an additional 3 points for Alaves. A humiliating defeat in front of the fans at home and I don't know what else to say about Sevilla because they are getting further behind at this point. Maybe next week they will still lose because their next opponent is Girona, who are a team that has been consistent this season and is in the title hunt.
Sevilla's form worries me. Given their record, losing to Alaves is stunning. They have allowed 30 goals in 20 matches, a poor defense. Its a far cry from last season, when they won the Europa League without a good league performance. After Diego Alonso left, the coaching change may have contributed to this downturn. Why Sevilla can surprise in Europe yet suffer locally is puzzling. If they dont sharpen their defense and develop consistency, they could be relegated.

Such a deterioration of a team as renowned as Sevilla was not at all desirable. Despite performing well in the Europa League last season, Sevilla's performance in La Liga was poor. Therefore, before the start of this season, Sevilla management should have taken the necessary steps to stabilize the team. But the Sevilla management did not take any such action. As a result, the team's performance this season has been very poor. Sevilla won 13 out of 38 matches last season and finished 12th in the points table. Sevilla's defense and attack have both been weak this season. I would say that Sevilla's management needs to reorganize the team. Otherwise their performance will not be stable. Sevilla management will have to prepare big funds in the winter transfer.

Barcelona has difficulties scoring goals, while Real Madrid scored 5 goals against Atletico.
I know that some of the goals scored by Real were a little bit lucky, but that doesn't mean that the attacking players of Real are weak.
Real Madrid is the clear favorite for winning the Supercup of Spain. They will become even stronger, when Mbappe joins the squad in the summer. Barcelona probably needs a new coach and several new players. Xavi can't find a way to make the team score more goals.
On paper, Real Madrid is probably the favorite to win the Super Copa. but Barcelona will work hard to win it. because in La Liga it seems like this season Barcelona is unlucky so they will do their best to improve this season by winning the Super Copa of Spain.
I think that Barcelona will give it all to win this as they have almost zero chances of fighting back to get the title during this season as they are pretty away in the gap to leaders that are Real and Girona.That is why I think Barcelona will fight much harder than Real but Real surely this year is in better conditions and their players look a lot more better Anyway this are just assumptions as when these two teams face each other any result can happen no matter which conditions are the teams.
Real Madrid will win against Barcelona just like they did this previous El classico this season, The fact is that Real Madrid this season is different from every team and we saw their fighting spirit against Ateletico Madrid in the semi-final, Barcelona don't have such spirit in recent years especially this season and they are dependent of a striker in order to perform well while at Real Madrid any player can step up.

As a team, Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona this season. It cannot be said that Barcelona are weak. This team is also quite strong and capable of playing well. But they depend on Lewandowski to score. Barcelona are not getting the expected performances from Gundogan and De Jong. Even then I would say that it is very difficult to predict the Madrid vs Barcelona match. Both teams have chances to win. Although Barcelona's performance is somewhat erratic, Xavi will do his best to win against Real Madrid. It cannot be said that Real Madrid will definitely win, but Madrid should slightly stay ahead of Barcelona.

Real Madrid team scored 5 goals against Atletico Madrid. And in this match Vinicius performed well. However, Real Madrid won the match 5-3. However, Vini's performance is quite erratic. It is unlikely that we will see a better performance from Vini in every match. This team is still dependent on their midfield. Real Madrid are favorites for the Super Cup title. But there is no chance to underestimate the Barcelona team. Despite not winning by a big margin against Osasuna, Barcelona's performance was good enough. However, the team still relies on Lewandowski to score. If they do not reduce this dependence, it will not be possible for Barcelona to maintain the continuity of good performance.

I support you in the Middlesbrough match. Chelsea should dominate at Stamford Bridge, but their form makes me doubt it. Middlesbrough's defense could be tough. This match is about Chelsea's will and capacity to overcome previous setbacks, not just skill. Restoring team faith and the season depend on a win here

I will refrain myself from betting on this match. Because it is impossible to make sure predictions about Chelsea's performance this season. Middlesbrough team is weaker than Chelsea. However, Chelsea lost 1-0 in the first leg match. Chelsea's overall performance in the match was quite good but they failed to score a single goal. In the home match we expect the Chelsea players to dominate the match. But even then nothing can be said for sure about Chelsea's performance. Middlesbrough will play completely defensively in this match. And they will try to draw the match. So it will be more difficult for Chelsea to win the match.

We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid matches are always competitive. This match was no exception. From the beginning to the end of the match, both teams fought to win. The match was still tied at 3-3 after 90 minutes. And with a goal in the last extra 30 minutes, Real Madrid won 5-3.

Real Madrid attacked a lot in this match. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, had a relatively low attack volume, but each of their attacks was organized and planned. Vinicius, Bellingham, Carvajal performed well in this match. On the other hand, although Griezmann has played very well in the Atletico Madrid squad, we have not had a good performance from Morata.
It was an exciting match with lots of goals in normal time plus extra time with 2 goals from Real Madrid for the final victory, obviously not bored at all as I enjoyed the match.

At the start, Atletico Madrid had the better of the goals but Real Madrid's attack was so tight, in the end Real Madrid got the equalizer in the 85th minute from Carvajal and it was a great attack despite several collisions with the opposing players.

The Real Madrid players did well, I liked how Vinicus and Rodrygo did despite not scoring.

The match was very exciting from the start. Hermoso scored the first goal of the match in just 6 minutes from Griezmann's pass. However, the Real Madrid team took the lead after Rudriger and Mendy's goals. But Griezmann's goal in the 37th minute tied the game 2-2. Both teams scored two goals in the first half.

In the second half, both teams kept their defenses tight and then attacked. So no team can score more than one goal. But in the extra 30 minutes we only saw Real Madrid dominate. Joselu and Diaz scored twice in extra time to give Real Madrid a 5-3 win in the match.

last night's match in the super cup. which brought together the madrid derby between real madrid and atletico madrid actually went exciting and tight in normal time 90 minutes ended with a score of 3-3 this indicates that both teams played openly so as to produce many goals. in extra time alone atletico madrid became sluggish maybe because the goal was broken first and the time limit was also not much so it ended up being 5-3 for real madrid victory
It was one of the best Derby matches at the start of the year. Even though Atletico Madrid lost that match, I still feel they lost with great honor. Because after all, Atletico Madrid has put up very strong resistance which even kept the score level in normal time. Both teams have played very well and were very aggressive from the start. And these two teams really played like they were in a UCL match. Well, this match really wasn't boring from the start to the end.

And Atletico Madrid might be able to avenge their defeat in this match in the near future. Because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid again in the 16th round of the Copa Del Rey. And I hope this match will be as exciting as the last match.

408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 10, 2024, 08:25:06 PM
The point is my husband doesn't know that i have been secretly gambling and involving myself with gambling discussions and the rest, So, this morning when i woke something in me keeps telling me i should let him know to understand my involvement  to practice gambling.

Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.

You should let him know about your activities so that you can see his reaction if he can understand on what you are doing or not. If he find it disturbing since he doesn't want to get involve with this activity and find it as bad hobby to take then respect his decision then decide if its really worth to continue or just follow your husbands like if he advice you to quit doing this activities.

But if he support you and tell that you are fine then make sure you don't gamble to much then always try to follow his advices so that their will be no trouble created since if you insist and not follow certain things he want you to do or avoid then it can start a conflict that you might regret later on. So come tell him since its really worth to discuss this matter and make sure he's in good condition telling this since timing is also important so he will not get surprised about what you are trying to tell to him.

A wife who helps her husband to gamble never seems responsible to me, it can be happening only in dream, lol. It must be accepted that gambling brings a lot of money at a certain time, it does not mean that gambling should be made a career, right? Gambling instills greed in people, degenerates morals if he fail to keep control. You know, there are also examples of people who lose every penny and come on the road after losing money in gambling. In addition, many commit serious crimes to collect gambling money.

I just said the possible reason why any wife wants to prevent her husband from gambling, this is fear, they are fearing her husband will end up becoming greedy. If she does not prevent her husband from gambling and does not try her best to attract him on herself to find relaxation but rather encourages him gambling then she is really a dream wife, lol. I need one of this type Grin..

Napoli is in the 9th place now, but the point gap with Fiorentina in the 4th place looks not very large. Actually, Napoli still has the chance to finish in UCL zone if they can play better in the second half of the season. However, Napoli is in the very bad form, it is hard to expect them to play consistently. Unless Napoli could change their tactics or sign new players to improve their performance, Napoli looks like to finish this season out of the top 5 of Serie A standings.
~
The fact that there are only 5 points to Fiorentina (fourth place) does not mean anything at all. In such situations, you need to take into account the number of teams that are in front of you. For example, if there was only one point to fourth place, but there were 100 teams ahead of Napoli, then Napoli’s chances of overtaking them all would be practically zero. Now there are as many as five teams ahead of Napoli and this is a large enough number that, despite the formally small gap, we can assume that Napoli’s chances are very low. Maybe a change of coach will give some kind of shake-up to the team, but at the moment it is not very clear how Napoli can seriously strengthen.

I don't think it's impossible for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League yet. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will still play 19 more matches. So the scenario is likely to change. But for that, Napoli need to play well and win consistently. Napoli team is 5 points behind Fiorentina in the fourth place in the table. Napoli are also now ninth in the points table. There is still a chance to finish fourth in the table with consistent good performances and wins. But as Napoli are currently performing poorly, the chances of Napoli winning every match in a row is very low.

Real will host Atletico at home in the semi-final of the Super Cup.Real have a long-standing streak and this streak is not going to be broken easily.This match may be a bit difficult for them, but I expect Real Madrid to win again because they have home advantage.In the match between them, there is an advantage because Real Madrid usually wins anyway. I don't know if Arda güler will play in this match, but I would definitely like him to play.His appearance in such high stress and high tension matches will show us how he makes decisions and what he does in risky matches.I think Ancelotti will play him according to the course of the match.
On paper, Real are the clear favorites and should beat Atletico. Atletico are showing a questionable performance with a lot of goals they are conceding and at the moment they are not even in the top 4 in La Liga. On the other hand, derbies are always games where the underdog has increased chances, plus this season Atletico have already beaten Real once. I hope they can't do it a second time because I want Real Madrid to make the treble.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly the favorite team. However, the matches between these two teams are always competitive. In the last 5 matches both the teams have won two matches and one match has been drawn. Although Real Madrid are favorites in this match, let's not forget that in the last match against Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid won 3-1. So if Madrid's players don't play well, they have a chance of losing. But I am looking forward to see a competitive match. I will refrain from betting on this match.

Their official representative X account was compromised, it's okay because X is not their home but they must at least secure their account properly. As a governmental agency, they must have enough security layers to do this for their account.

They even can go further by saying their official website is compromised and no announcement about approval will be made. It is another big joke if they do this because announcement can be made online or offline and online announcement is not a gold standard for official announcement.

SEC. is exaggerating importance of X and social media.

Can the account of a top US government agency be hacked so easily? And they took them 15 minutes to control and correct the news, what a big joke. We really don't know what's going on, but from what's going on, I have a feeling that even the SEC wants to manipulate this potential market for its own profit. They also want to make money from this market but abuse their power to make profits, what a shameful act.

There have been many comments sent to Elon asking him to check the IP address of SEC's account X to know exactly whether they were really hacked or just playing tricks on themselves to manipulate the market. But I think Elon will not interfere in this.

You should consider using the Bitcoin Lightning Network for payments, because it is much faster than Blockchain transactions at the moment.

Also consider offering some kind of discount to people, if they are willing to pay with Bitcoin to incentivize the adoption of Bitcoin. (Example 15% off for people paying with Bitcoin)  
I would also advise the same, use Bitcoin Lightning Network for instant payments plus lower transaction fees compared to what we experienced using Blockchain transactions. That way, users will feel more convenient to pay bitcoin.

However, having discounts is a good option but it should also be limited. Let’s say the first 20-30 customers per day will get a 15% off so that everyone will be encourage to buy at your shop using bitcoin payment.

But from what I see, Lightning Network is still not popular and widely used even among veteran investors like us, let alone newbies. The idea of accepting bitcoin as a payment method is becoming a challenge as bitcoin transaction fees are getting higher and higher. I think if OP wants to invest and hold bitcoins, it would be much better if he bought them directly with fiat instead of just accumulating them through the route of using bitcoins as payment for his store.
Even if LN is really that been used, i do have doubts that people would really be actively spending their coins on buying up something. Why? they do know that profit chances and gains could really be that
possible on just simply holding it for long term on which this is something that we cant really be able to deny yet we've seen on how far it did been able to reach up. Yes, its great that it would really be seen
into those payment options but i do highly doubt that people would really be that actively be using their coins on which on buying up something because as much as possible they would really be
accumulating it as much as they can. Even myself would definitely be doing this since we know about its potential..

You cant really just that afford yourself on spending into those coins if you do know that you can earn more money on just simply holding it for more years to come.
It is really just that a waste if you do just basically be using it on something which you can actually do it on using fiat or other possible methods or common ways.
Its not really that worth and this is something that mainly you do have in mind.

I agree with you. In fact, here we always support the idea of using bitcoin as a payment method, but we ourselves would not use bitcoin for payment even if we came across a store that accepted bitcoin. This is a reality that many people are in denial about because we all want to accumulate as many bitcoins as possible. No one will spend bitcoin when everyone knows about its potential and more specifically, the new bull season is coming closer than ever.

Honestly, it would be embarrassing to say outright that I support ideas like the OP's but I also wouldn't use bitcoin to make purchases. It's really a waste of bitcoin when we can do it with fiat.

I hold my bitcoin not because of this belief but because I strongly believe in future of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Spot ETFs will be approved, if not in 2024, will be next years.


I also believe that the SEC cannot continue to delay approval of ETFs and that approval will come through. But if we encounter a bad scenario where the ETF is not approved, it is not too worrying for the future of bitcoin. I invest and hold bitcoin because I believe it is the future even as governments continue to seek to ban it and not recognize it. I'm excited and looking forward to getting ETFs approved, but that's not the reason I hold bitcoin. Without an ETF bitcoin would still be growing and getting bigger, IMO.

Many people were using Electrum wallet and other Bitcoin wallets to store their coins but base this recent hike of fee made most people to send there coins to exchange and use exchange wallets to do their investment and trading so the percentage people have in the exchange is very high now but after now when the fee goes down to it normal position then they would go back again to there wallets again. Lolz!! People disregard " Not your key, Not your coins" phrase these days and saved their coins in exchange and use it to survive for the period. Because they can't pay the high fee to exchange and before making transaction to others in the p2p. So instead they just keep it in the exchange and do all their transactions without fee if within the exchange to the exchange.

In addition to transaction fees becoming our nightmare, we can also see bull season approaching, bitcoin is approaching the $50k level. So I really don't think people will continue to keep their bitcoins in non-custodial wallets like many are saying. As I said before, the collapses of Mt.gox or FTX will quickly be forgotten when bull season arrives. And the fact that people keep coming back to use and store money on exchanges will continue because everyone wants to make a lot of money, everyone wants convenience...that's why exchanges will never disappear. I believe that in these days people are using exchanges to store their assets more than using non-custodial wallets.

This is my take on the EPL at the moment. I think it would be more difficult for Arsenal to battle it out with Manchester City now that City have got all key players back in the team. Arsenal seem to be the ones who have lost their form. Aston Villa are also firing at the moment but I doubt they can maintain the momentum for too long. Liverpool also don’t look like much problem for Manchester City at the moment without Mo Salah. Guardiola obviously have an advantage in the race.

If De Bruyne and Haaland perform well, Manchester City will become even stronger. Despite poor performances in a few matches and dropping points, City's performance is quite stable at the moment. However, the performance of Arsenal's players is now very erratic. The Arsenal team is now far behind in the points table after losing in the last 5 matches. If the players can't return to form yet and Arsenal drop points in a few more games then they will have to give up hope of winning the syrup. I think the two most worthy rivals for the Premier League title are Liverpool and Manchester City. Both these teams will likely continue to fight for the title till the end of the season.

Cengiz Ünder played a big role in winning the match with a performance that surprised everyone. Cengiz Ünder scored 4 goals in total and hopefully this was the match where he started to return to his old form. Cengiz Ünder scored 3 goals in the first half and at the very beginning of the second half he scored 1 more goal to decide the score of the match.I think Fenerbahçe could have scored more goals but I must say that after 5-1 they got a bit complacent.From this moment on there was a lack of performance and I can say that the game was over after the substitutions.

Cengiz Ünder played a great game in this match, but I wish he can spread this performance throughout the season. After scoring 4 goals in this match, if he doesn't score any goals for 5 weeks, the 4 goals he scored in this match won't mean anything. I think he needs to mentally adapt to Fenerbahçe now. I liked Livakovic's performance in this match. Fenerbahçe gives too many chances to their opponents because of their defensive problems. Livakovic is under pressure every game but he plays with very few mistakes.

Well of course he played a very big role in that match for Fenerbahce to win. Because he was able to score four goals by himself. And the whole thing was able to score five goals. So he was the backbone of the win for Fenerbahce in this match. But I have to say this match was easy for them because after all, they were going up against the team that is absolutely at the bottom of the table.

So I don't think anyone actually expected anything else from them in this match. The result was expected. But the performance from Cengiz ünder was exceptional.

Bayern Munich has got a really experienced coach and so Leverkusen should be weary of not loosing a point because if they do at this point Bayern Munich will stop at nothing to getting back at the top of the table and reclaiming back their dominance in the Bundesliga this season which I'm sure is one of their greatest wishes this season.
Bayern Leverkusen has really prove to Bayern Munich that there performance can be challenge because Bayern Leverkusen performance on this league is very remarkable and they have made a quite improvement in this league which has given them the privilege of lasting this long the first position of the league table, so considering there performance and also there points different with Bayern Munich, I take Bayern Munich alot of time to meet Bayern Leverkusen in times of point because Bayern Leverkusen currently have 42 points while Bayern Munich has 38 points, so they will still need to win up to two matches before they can be able to beat Bayern Leverkusen but however the chances of Bayern Leverkusen losing any match is not certain because there performance is very impressive.
Bayern Leverkusen's form is excellent. They've improved this season and lead the league. The Bundesliga is a marathon, not a sprint. Leverkusen's 4-point lead over Bayern Munich is sturdy but fragile. Bayern Munich is famed for their resilience; they're like a juggernaut gradually approaching the top spot

I'm worried about Leverkusen players leaving for national duty. The tables could turn at this crucial point. I love the league's competition, but Bayern Munich's late-season surges scare me. Leverkusen must preserve their lead or risk losing it
We talk about 4 points a lot, but Bayer Leverkusen, which is 4 points ahead, has one game too many. If Bayern plays its missing match, the point difference may decrease to 1 point. Bayern is a strong team and they have the strength to continue the championship race with Leverkusen until the last match.

Leverkusen has played one match more than Bayern Munich and is ahead by 4 points. Even if Bayern Munich wins their next match, Leverkusen will lead by 1 point. It's not a big gap. Bayern Munich will have a chance to take the top spot in the table if Leverkusen drops a point in the match. But the problem is that Leverkusen's performance is very good this season. The team is unbeaten so far and has drawn only 3 matches. And so it will be much more difficult for Bayern Munich to reduce this 1 point gap. Leverkusen has been able to win consistently. If they are able to maintain such consistency, they have a chance to win the title.

Sri Lanka should be ashamed of themselves to be frank. They almost lost against a weaker team when the target itself was small on their own turf. They barely won at the end thanks to the tail performing well.

Ngarava was phenomenal and decimated the Lankans along with Raza. Great stuff Zimbabwe!

Batting at a target of just 209 runs, Sri Lanka would face problems that were unexpected. 209 runs was not a big target on this pitch. If the target was more than 250 I thought the match would have been competitive. But the Sri Lankan team faced big problems to collect 209 runs against the bowlers of Zimbabwe

Sri Lanka's top order batted very poorly. The Sri Lankan team lost all four important wickets to collect only 53 runs. If Janith Liyanage was not able to bat well, Sri Lanka would have definitely lost this match. Also the batting of Theekshana, Chameera and Vandersay helped Sri Lanka reach the winning target.

Revel 0-5 PSG

Today in the match of the Coupe de France, PSG's players shows a great dominance. The opposition is naturally quite weak compared to PSG. So I thought Luis Enrique might give his second line players a chance in this match. But he didn't do that. PSG players dominated from the start of the match.

PSG players had 78% of the ball possession in the first half. They managed to make a total of 15 shots, out of which 7 were on target. And the important thing is that PSG team lead by 4-0 goals in the first half. And Mbappe scored another goal at the beginning of the second half. Mbappe scored the goal from Marco Asensio's pass. Mbappe has already scored three goals. Asensio has one goal and two assists. Carlos Soler had two assists. PSG won today's match by 7/8 goals, but it is not surprising.
I watched the Paris Saint Germaine away game at Revel today in the French Cup and all I can say it that the French champions were rampant in their demolition of the home side. It was one of the easiest wins of the club in recent time as Paris Saint Germaine scored four goals in the first half of the game to take total control of the game.
Kylian Mbappe the club's most clinical player in recent years on e again rose up to the occasion to deliver a man of the match performance as he scored three goals in the game. From what I've seen from Paris Saint Germaine this season, I think they're gonna win all the trophies in France but it'll be better if they can still do that in the UEFA champions league competition

This match was not an important one for PSG. Even if PSG had played with a second tier squad in this match, they would have been able to win. But Luis Enrique probably considered this match as a warm up match. He wants to identify the weaknesses of his squad players. So we have seen all the important players of the squad in the starting XI. PSG's forwards Mbappe, Ansensio and Ramos all performed well and managed to score. Mbappe had 3 goals and an assist. Also the performance of Kolo Muani was very good. PSG team won by a big margin of 9-0. And as a result, PSG's players will become more confident. PSG will play better in Ligue 1 upcoming matches. However, Luis Enrique now seems more concerned about the Champions League matches.
