I wish Galatasaray good luck in the Europa League from now on.
You're telling me Bayern Munich and Copenhagen made it to the next phase while Galatasaray push to Europa and Manchester United return back to Old Trafford with nothing to boost about. Galatasaray was close to qualify to the next stage but made some mistakes that prevented it to continue in UEFA Champions League. It is true they lost good amount of money by not qualifying but they can try their chance in UEFA Europa League where they have the opportunity to advance easier comparing to the other competition. Their match will be against Sparta Praha which will not be definitely easy but they can win in it. In fact, they have to win in the first leg in their home by two goals difference at least to avoid bad surprises in the second leg. For Manchester United, they are hopeless this season whether they continued in Champions League or played in Europa League, I can't trust them to advance a lot even in Conference League. Their situation currently is miserable  |

We saw El Salvador become the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender, and since then many countries have adopted Bitcoin. This time maybe Argentina is about to legalize bitcoin in their country. We heard the news after Argentina's new president, Javier Milli, won the election. Today I saw confirmation from Argentina's appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs that officially approved the agreement to legalize the use of Bitcoin in Argentina. We saw that people in Argentina have adopted digital currencies such as Bitcoin and USD in recent years. If Argentina formally approves the agreement to legalize Bitcoin, it would be the first step toward potentially wider crypto adoption in the country.
Get it here: https://www.fxempire.com/news/article/argentina-approves-bitcoin-btc-as-official-currency-1397688Argentinian are witnessing one of their hardest years where inflation are hitting bad records and their money values less and less in a way maybe less than Venezuela or Mozambique but still serious one. So it is normal to see these people trying to collect something that increases in value or at least has a stable value in order to keep their wealth as it is or increase it and Bitcoin is definitely a better option that the government estimated that it might worth to enter in the banking and the economic system to be exploited accordingly. I don't know how much people are using Bitcoin in Argentina to know if this will be directed to everyone or selected politicians and businessmen. |

This is great because this event holds the promise of expanding the adoption of cryptocurrency in Nigeria and across Africa. It will also boost confidence and encourage more individuals to explore the benefits of digital assets. May this lifting of restrictions usher in a new era of growth and acceptance for cryptocurrency in Nigeria, contributing to the broader narrative of its positive impact on the global financial landscape.
Bitcoin is largely unregulated in most countries even though some of them ban it or restricted it in a way or another. Some governments just noticed how much they can profit from it and decided to reverse the ban, others are trying to regulate it and so on. I think Nigeria made a good decision to lift the ban and hopefully other countries will follow and reverse the nonsense they are doing. These countries see Bitcoin as a threat to their banking system which is a lobbyist after all that seduce politicians to ban it for their pure interest and not people's one. You can change Bitcoin by anything banned in these countries and you will find the same situation where people interest are the last thing to take on consideration.. |

Manchester United vs Aston Villa is the most interesting match in week 19, Unai Emery troops have a big chance to add to the suffering experienced by United and especially manager Ten Hag. After losing to West Ham 2-0, of course, as usual, Ten Hag tried to bring the Red Devils back to their feet, but this really couldn't be trusted, because United likes to give false hopes to fans this season.
Aston Villa has the ambition to maintain its position in the top four of the standings, while waiting for the opportunity to experience leading the points table. Obviously statistically they have a better record compared to United, so I think this match is really worth waiting for, yes waiting to see how Ten Hag and his troops mark a turning point in their performance for the umpteenth time this season.
The Red Devils front line is very worrying this season, they don't seem to have a mainstay striker, Hojlund has not been able to be the answer to the team needs so far. Maybe tomorrow he will score his first goal in the EPL, because otherwise Hojlund will be in a serious crisis of confidence. Scoring 5 goals in the UCL is quite good, but now he has to do it in the EPL or he will be labeled as a fraudulent investment.
While we are in the last days of 2023, Manchester United is going to face with Aston Villa and this time Ten Hag will again have the chance to decrease the pressure on the team otherwise they will surely get him fired from the team. Maybe tomorrow after the match between Manchester United and Aston Villa, Ten Hag will leave Manchester United forever this match can be the last game for Manchester United because I don't think if the fans like to see their team in this situation they have right now. The odds between Manchester United and Aston are similar although Manchester United are playing home. This shows that Manchester United isn't favourite to win in their home. Besides, both teams had a bad game lately. Aston Villa got a draw against the last team in the ranking while Manchester United kept getting bad results. What I find is common in both teams is the absence of concentration in the end of the game but at least Aston Villa were able to score while Manchester United was taking goals passively. I am rolling on Aston Villa victory for the sake to know what will be the future of Ten Hag in Manchester United in 2024 if ever he didn't get a prize before the start of the year  |

Barcelona is not in any way in comparison with Napoli even though Napoli has shown some positive results in their last game and even at that in terms of statistics, Barcelona is still very much ahead of them and for sure be in the champion leagues, Barcelona will give many clubs a hard time and a run off for any of their winnings or even draw.
I am sure Barcelona may not lift the championship trophy this season but then there is the possibility of them placing themselves in a good position that can easily propel them to possible success.
We are talking about the actual Barcelona and the current Napoli performance without taking on consideration the winter transfer window and the injuries that might happen in the future. So far Barcelona record are better than Napoli. In fact, Barca didn't lose any of their games against Napoli for at least four years if not more. I expect them to win but I wouldn't judge about which team is favourite until few days before the game in order to have a better look on the situation. |

Elon even said at some point that he's not planning to make his own project. And DOGE was the only memecoins that was created as a pure joke, it feels like everything else was made just to make hype and grab money.
The Doge community is quite different than the other altcoins communities and definitely totally different from the shitcoins one where their pure objective is to grab money at any cost. I only bought my first Doge after several years from being involved with Bitcoin and they were the first cryptocurrency to own by me at that time if I am not mistaken. Elon Musk is not an easy to understand person. He might get along with something then reverse his decision fast. Better to let him far away from Doge. |

However, if AC Milan loses to Sassuolo then it is very likely that Bologna will move up to third place in Serie A and at least be able to distance themselves further from AC Milan.
Sassuolo could be said to be a troublesome club for AC Milan. This didn't just happen once, but Sassuolo has proven in several matches that they can steal 3 points from AC Milan. This is a sign for AC Milan not to play without an effective strategy. If Sassuolo can see that there is an imbalance in the Milan strategy while playing on the field, I am sure Milan will lose points in this match. In fact, playing a draw is not a good result for Milan, which is trying to keep Milan points within the possibility of winning the championship. Sassuolo are an annoying team especially when facing the top ones but they definitely are weaker this season and since they have to face Ac Milan at home then I expect them to lose that match. Besides odds are way better for Ac Milan comparing to Sassuolo. What could make some people still sceptical about this game, is the fact that Sassuolo used to win in their games against Milan in the previous years. The hardest match in this round was Juventus - Roma followed by Fiorentina - Torino. Juventus and Fiorentina have the home advantage and the randomness of their opponents. Otherwise these matches might shift easily from a side to another with a red card or an injury. |

Xavi Hernandez and Barcelona management have agreed to make new signatures that would help push the club forward.
Xavi has to figure out a way to keep Barcelona getting positive results while investing as few money as possible according to Barcelona low budget for signing new players. He is witnessing hard time with injuries and the performance of some players that dropped than what used to be. Robert Lewandoski included has dropped and a back up central forward would be ideal. I hope they make use of the points dropped by Girona to level up alongside Atletico Madrid.
Lewandowski is a finisher that rarely search the ball or returns to help his team. If he doesn't get the ball in a good manner, he will not score. It is as simple as that for him. We cannot compare him to Mbappe for example who can run long distances with the ball.. Sevilla would be at home against Atletico Bilbao whenever they return, banking of Quique Sanchez Flores amd his men to win.
Sevilla will lose against Athletic Bilbao in my opinion even though they are playing home. Sevilla has to move a little bit forward to avoid being close to the relegation zone and dropping on it eventually. |

- Brazil 6.50
- France 6.50
- England 7.00
- Argentina 10.00
- Spain 10.00
- Germany 12.00
- Portugal 15.00
Brazil is usually a team in which they have much more hope to win the World Cup than any other team and they and they were usually performing well in the world cups but it seems they are not going to have too much chance as they had in the past and with the current situation they have I think Brazil can hardly even think about winning the next world cup in 2026. I don't know if things will change from here to 2026 but certainly the Brazilian national team has a lot of work needing to be done before it returns back to its normal quality and the winning mentality again. Right now I will say definitely Argentina and Brazil has to swap their place but if we take on consideration the rumours about Carlo Ancelotti might coaching the Brazilian team then we might expect a lot of improvement and we may see Brazil competing all the other teams. Until then, it is early to judge about the team future. |

Eighteen goals for a big club like Manchester United is a big disgrace. Playing Bruno Fernandez off his best position must be affecting him badly, he needs that freedom,I don't understand how he plays Scott MC Tominay a defensive midfielder ahead of Bruno Fernandez! Man that shit funny ASF fr!
Manchester United record in ranking is shameful whether in the goals scored thus the attack line or the defence line which is taking more goals than scoring. I do not want to criticise the strategy adopted by Eric Ten Hag but it is definitely not working especially in the attack line, it is dysfunctional and just horrible. Marcus Rashford needs to be dropped, no player is bigger than the club. If Erik Ten Hag continually make use of these players, they'll definitely sack him. They played very well but couldn't score goals yesterday.
Antony was brought in for a big fee but haven't done enough for Manchester United this season, I understand he had some level of challenges before the season kicked off. I'm disappointed in a way because I expected some levels of upgrades from last season.
Whenever you recruit a player, you never know when he will worth the money spent on him or not. It is like Hazard or Bale in his latest years in Real Madrid. No one is above the club indeed, it is whether you play good or leave your place to someone better and this includes the coach.. |

Xabi Alonso have won MOTM countless times and that's the same Victor Boniface have won rookie for consecutive months, no more hidden truth because the facts have been stable out, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich have proclaim to be the best club in bundesliga. Leverkusen have grown to become one to the challenging club that poses threats for other opponents in the club. In as much Bayer Leverkusen have tried their best to maintain good winning shape, they also have the capacity of waiting for longer time to meet ends while Bayern Munich will keep attempting to draw points with the leading club which is very complicated.
Xabi Alonso is doing a good job making Bayer Leverkusen in the first place this season and boosting the players performance to the top. They don't have a top scorer like Harry Kane in Bayern who scored the double of Boniface, Leverkusen's best scorer, instead Bayer Leverkusen are counting in more than one player which makes them more threatening in the attack line. The 4 points gap between the two teams might be overestimated because Bayern Munich still lacks one game against Union Berlin that will be held in January 24. Even though it is a certain Bayern Munich victory but who knows if Union could get a draw there. Until then, the situation is tense and Bayer Leverkusen should avoid points losses to avoid seeing Bayern Munich taking the lead and the Bundesliga title this season too  |

But I was not expecting to see a good performance again from PSG during this season and I was thinking they were going to fail this season because they lost players like Messi and Neymar during the summer and they used a new coach while we couldn't be sure about the performance of Enrique in PSG.
But it seems mostly because of the more investment they had in the team, PSG is going to win the title of French Lague again,
PSG currently stand as the best teem so far in the french league this season, no other team currently can really contend well enough with them currently in the Ligue 1. PSG will most likely win the title this season except they drop point so badly that they are unable to get back on their feet of which I'm not expecting such from them any soon. PSG is the best team in Ligue 1 is a normal thing since they have a budget that no other team could have, it might require a fusion of two teams in order to keep up with them, yet PSG efficiency comparing to the money that was spent is not that good. The current dept of PSG is a good one when compared with others in the Ligue 1, the only fear I had with PSG after they lost Messi and others was the fact that their chances of winning the UCL will be reduced of which is the current situation but with the Ligue 1 I never doubted them been able to win and defend their title because I know their dream has currently gone beyond just the Ligue 1 but to wanting the UCL. PSG did invested so much in their team over the last transfer window with the mind of getting the UCL by the end of this season but then I'm still hopeful for them but the chances are still very slim
Lionel Messi departure will not affect the team as the departure of Kylian Mbappe will be. I even say that PSG without Mbappe would be another Nice or Monaco or even Marseille. The management of PSG still failed to find a good alternative for Mbappe and I don't think it will be an easy job anyway to attract an experimented and talented player to a league like this. They better to try their own Yamal in my opinion. |

Following some media reports, Barcelona might consider parting ways with Xavi if they end the season without winning any trophies. In my opinion, Xavi should continue as Barca currently lacks quality players and also dealing with numerous injuries. Once the financial situation improves, they can invest in top players and strikers, and Barca will regain its strength.
Definitely Barcelona is facing challenges while simultaneously competing for various trophies this season,
Champions League,
La Liga,
Copa del Rey, and
Spanish Super Cup.
Barcelona trying to win everything while they impose strict rules on the coach like he is training a team without budget. What saved Barcelona from self-destruction is the name that was built throughout the years or decades exactly, otherwise the bad management of the club over the previous years almost killed the team. Imagine players still wanting to join Barcelona for low salaries, lowering their wages and so on just to play in that team. In Spanish competitions, Barcelona have hard opponents called Real Madrid and Girona that will annoy them there. In UEFA Champions League, they have many good opponents and I find it hard for Barcelona to keep up with the other teams so definitely not. The club owners shouldn't exaggerate in their demands at the time when they offer few things for the competitivity to the team. |

This Chelsea team is the most wasteful team in record this season, for big chances missed, I just think wolves will grow more into the game since Chelsea have left them off the hook by their wastefulness.
But it will be more difficult now for Chelsea to go home with all 3point at this stage.
Chelsea let Wolverhampton play the way they want, attacking them and eventually scoring a goal. There is still more than 30 minutes in the game and I agree with you that it is unlikely to see Chelsea getting three points in this away match against Wolves. What I think is a bit incorrect is the description of Chelsea as the most wasteful team since it is by far Manchester United which is acting as clown in this season so far. After a relatively good season in the previous season, they are making silly mistakes and wasting a game over a game stupidly! At least Chelsea failure is not new |

Al Ittihad-Jeddah were down to 10 players early in the must-win match. When Alolayan brought down the last man, he received a red card and the card was correct. The position looked like a penalty, but a free kick was awarded and Al Raed couldn't take advantage of it. Now Al Ittihad-Jeddah is in big trouble. They will have to play with 10 players for a very long time. If they can't get 3 points, Al Ittihad-Jeddah will be far behind in the championship race. Al Hilal Riyadh has already broken away from other teams, but their chances in the race to finish in the top 3 and go to the AFC Champions League will be greatly reduced.
Really bad situation Al-Ittihad played with 10 players from the 12th minute luckily they were able to equalize the score even though it was the only shot on target. For this season there is nothing we can expect from Al-Ittihad they were already more than 20 points behind so it was impossible to catch up. Basically, this season Al-Ittihad is playing without ambition/target because the Saudi Pro League only provides 2 tickets for the Asian Champions League and we can be sure that Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have secured it. so Al-Ittihad just waits until this season ends and every future match has no impact this means we have to be more careful when placing bets on Al-Ittihad that would be more risky. Al-Ittihad is performing bad this season and I agree with you that they can say farewell to the title since there is 22 points between them and Al-Hilal. The second spot isn't obvious too with 12 points away from Al-Nassr. Getting an early red card made the team more destabilised than previously. To make things even better, they will have a game against Al-Nassr in the upcoming days so another defeat coming most probably |

This is one of the most boring games I have watched in the Serie A this season. Mourinho is using his usual game plan and Napoli are just way worse than I expected. I would have expected Napoli to be much more active than this in the attacking line. As Politano got a red card as well I just expect Napoli to try to preserve the 0-0 score to the end.
For some reason, the performance of the two clubs, both Roma and Napoli, was nothing too special. Even now, the results are really disappointing because Napoli are trailing Roma 1 - 0. Moreover, once again, Napoli only played with 9 players because Politano and Osimhen received red cards. This is the end of Napoli. They will definitely lose this match. And so will the next match without Osimhen. What a disappointment. It will be even more difficult for them to compete in Serie A Napoli Roma 2 - 0 Napoli. That match was a disaster for Napoli. They did not only lose three points but they also lost the service of Osimhen and Politano for at least the next round if not more for Politano since his red card was just unnecessary. Playing by one less player is hard, imagine losing two at some point. Even the probability of getting a draw will drop significantly after the second red card for Osimhen by losing a main player and at the same time their striker and also by playing with only 9 players. Roma profited from that at best and added another goal in the extra time. Poor Napoli  Inter and Juventus made the gap bigger by the end of this round and after the defeat of Ac Milan mainly. Bologna and Fiorentina are getting closer to Ac Milan with only 2-3 points gap. |

Yeah i think the same as the guy above me, i dont know how in the hell Gerrard remains in charge, he is doing pretty bad in that team. And for worst he has a really good team in player terms, so i dont know what to think.
Al-Ettifaq started the season pretty well then in their latest games their results were chaotic. Their presence in the 8th position is due to their victories in the beginning. I don't know what Al-Ettifaq objectives this season but Saudis don't tend to accept successive defeats and might sack him if bad results continue. About Cristiano record in the year is amazing to still see him wanting to chase more and more.
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to see Mitrovic tying with him and he got the lead again with 17 goals after he scored a penalty against Al-Ettifaq |

There's nothing wrong with the composition of players that Manchester United currently has, the old and young players there also have capabilities, it's just that ETH doesn't yet understand how he should combine the composition of players in each match.
Against Aston Villa in the next match will be a tough challenge for them, because Aston Villa came with a real vision, namely getting at least 1 point at Old Trafford.
It is interesting how much Eric Ten Hag has hope that Manchester United will have a good performance in 2024. Like he has a new team or something special. Manchester United will end up sacking Ten Hag in my opinion because the team will not improve suddenly like that. He said that United were doing well until the 70th minute then everything went off. How proud Manchester United are now 8th along with Newcastle United which lost their game too but with a worse team which is Luton Town. These two teams are in epic failure for real. Arsenal 1 - 0 Liverpool. Gabriel scored an early goal and was confirmed after VAR check where Van Djik broke the offside with his knee. Honestly, gunners are doing way better than Liverpool after 20 minutes of the game. There was a penalty for Liverpool after a hand touch from Arsenal defender but it appears that only referees didn't saw it among everyone present in the stadium and on TV! |

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership, there is no leadership anymore, they can only try to maintain their current position. Inter is the team with the most points and playing the best in Seria. I don't think it would be otherwise. Salernitana had many shots on target, they really pushed the Milan goal, they deserved more than a point. The host Salernitana almost beat Milan until the 90th minute.
Ac Milan were able to pick a point from Salernitana in this game, that was ridiculous. This team have one victory, 10 losses and 5 draws before this match. They scored a total of 9 goals including the two that they were able to score in today's game. Overall, Ac Milan were disappointing and they risk to see the gap between them and Inter passing 10 points and 7 points with Juventus. Losing the scudetto isn't their only problem since the other teams behind them are getting closer and they could pick at some point the four Champions League spots. |

THIS IS THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE!!!
Aston Villa made their forte a fortress and ensured that they took maximum points against Manchester city and Arsenal only to drop 2 points at home to sheffield united. Can only happen in the EPL and thats why the EPL is the biggest league in the world.
Now its up to Liverpool or Arsenal to claim the first point when they meet!!!
Yeah it is quite unexpected to see Aston Villa performance being exceptional in English Premier League this season, annoying top teams and end up dropping points when they played with the last team in the standings! It is like Aston Villa controlling the game and attacking while Sheffield United scoring then Zaniolo saving the day for Aston Villa and giving them a one point reward. Now with Arsenal facing Liverpool and Aston Villa dropping points, Manchester City will be able to get closer from them especially if both Liverpool and Arsenal get a draw. By the way, Manchester City have won with 4 goals to 0 against Fluminense and lift the Club World Cup, congratulations to them  |
