I am very happy to welcome Napoli's victory over Fiorentina and they really deserved it. Fiorentina played quite well, but every time they got a chance they failed to score a goal. Like when they got a penalty kick but Fiorentina failed to do it and Napoli had to concede after that. Osimhen's absence doesn't seem to be a problem for Napoli and they are firmly on their way to the semifinals of the Supercoppa Italiana.
This is a good result for Napoli,  I mean it's such a good heads up and it would definitely give give them the chance to have both the fans and the management of Napoli believe and have some good confidence in their ability and what they  can possibly achieve with the team probably by the end of the season.

The problem is not with this good performance today, but their ability to maintain this performance and continually such that the team will be able to have this form in a long period of time enough to help them still make something out of this season, let's not also forget that a key player in Napoli isn't present as at this time of this little wins they are making, which means by the time he will be back to join them again ,they will be able to achieve much more because their form is in a good shape and they aswell have got a complete squad in place able to help them achieve much success.

Yeah, we are looking forward to more drama in this game as Atletico Madrid doesn't want to take chances is this game because they're actually playing with determination and Real Madrid doesn't also look like they gonna accept defeat in this game but however, kudos to Atletico Madrid for taking the lead first because it might give them an advantage and confidence to defeat Real Madrid so let's stay glued till the rest of the match as they're in the 74th minute of play as at the time of giving this information.
It was a very tough game between both team which ended full time in draw 2-2 I expected this anyways because I knew the strength of both team is good enough to get them to a fight but then a winner is needed and that has taken them to the extra time where they ended the game  in the favour of atletico winning 4-2 after scoring two extra goals in the extra time.

Real Madrid did their very best in the first half to equalizing the first goal scores by atletico, after which atletico got a second goal and Real Madrid got another equalizer , this move was such an unhealthy one because if you are determined to winning a game then your opponent shouldn't be the one to get the first goal as that keeps you at a far disadvantage that you may end the game in a draw and that was what happened to Real Madrid, Atletico had the home advantage but it wasn't enough reason for them to win though they had a really rough win but then it was deserving too.

Actually, it is still too early to claim De Rossi's failure. He even still doesn't manage AS Roma for the first match. Although De Rossi has a lack of experience as a professional coach, he has a chance to success with AS Roma. We must be familiar with Zidane, many people also doubt him when he became Real Madrid coach for the first time because he has no experience to be a professional coach previously. However, every one knows that Zidane finally succeed to win many trophies with Real Madrid. I think De Rossi also has the chance to succeed as Zidane ever did. Although the situation is much different, but it is not something impossible. Let's see how De Rossi can manage AS Roma to play against Verona in the upcoming match.
Replacing a top tier coach like Mourinho is enough to keep expectations so high because it is believed that for you to be his replacement them you should be better and it shouldn't take you as much time it took him to fix the team and let them start seeing results , i think that's the situation with Rossi currently at Roma.

The expectations on him is high already and anything short of a better performance as compared to they of Mourinho will be considered failure and so even if the time is short to the end of the season they still expect him to do something that will prove that he is better and was the best replacement but then realistically Rossi needs some time as no coach can actually effect the kind of change expected of him in the number of days he assumed office as the head coach, if given a few more time, then judgment could be passed on his performance so far.

But who are these players then after they bought Neymar, Messi and Mbappe? I think it can't get any better than that if we talk about star players that they could buy. I think there isn't much they can do from here. But let's assume that their goal would be to bring in a whole new set of star players, who are these players then?
Sometimes the problem may not lay within the players but with the club but the management may fail to understand this and because they are financially capable they keep buying more and more players who will come receive pay check and go without achieving that which the team did bought them for .

If PSG keeps buying new sets of players more like a continuous overhauling, how then can they build a team that can be formidable enough to stand the teat of times. The basics of a good and strong team isn't in buy new players every season but building these players just like Dortmund does only that Dortmund is in a contentious habit of selling them off if not with their building skill they would have had one of the best team across Europe, rather than scouting for new players to buy for the team, PSG should focus on building the ones they have already and in few years to come they will be ready to lift the champions league.

That's what happens when one team relies heavily on one of its key players to get better in a season. So when the player leaves for another team, the decline of that team will be very visible, as is happening with Union Berlin now. And this is very unfortunate because Union Berlin really suffered a lot because one of its key players left for another team. For now, Union Berlin can only try not to experience relegation at the end of the season so that they can still perform better than this season in the Bundesliga next season.
Heavy reliance on a particular player usually have detrimental effects on most team and this is something I'm certain about the fact that they are aware to a very far extent but the proficiency of a player could make a team almost forget the dangers of heavy reliance on such player in the long term.

Not only is union Berlin suffering it but other teams at some point did suffered the same fate and that's why moat good coaches in recent times try not to put dependence on certain players regardless of how good they are, they will rather make sure to build a formidable team around all the players so they Incase of the absence of that player due to injury or transfer or loan they will have little to no challenge replacing him, this can be seen in teams like Real Madrid, Manchester city and Bayern Leverkusen. They don't really on any player of the team performance.amd so even in the absence of players you find them still doing so well on that they have lesser number of goals.

I'm surprised to see Arsenal struggling to win their premier league matches. The 2-1 away defeat from Fulham was Arsenal's second consecutive defeat in the league. I will not say that Arsenal is out of the title race because the point difference between Liverpool and Arsenal is just 5 points and Arsenal might close the gap if they can win against Crystal Palace.
There's nothing to be really surprised about because Arsenal have had a defeat before that and they did struggled with the first defeat before that against full ham, their performance in recent time has really been poor such that a draw would be the best they can achieve with such form and play tactics.

Arsenal don't seem to have any key player at the AFCoN neither is there any known serious case of a key player been injured so I expected Arsenal to be even more active at this point having performed so we'll already from the beginning of the season but it's the reverse as their performance is even worse than it has been ever this season, Arsenal will only narrow the gap but not for long because Liverpool in in a very good form and may aswell get a win or draw of which either will help them a long way keeping them at the top of the table. Manchester city even have a better chance to replacing Liverpool than Arsenal if we are to judge them by their forms.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 18, 2024, 09:55:03 PM
I agree. The easiest way to get kids uninterested in something is to show little interest in that thing yourself. If a parent hides away his gambling habit or any hobby irrespective of what it is, and is later found out by his kids, it could likely pique the interest of the kids even more. And they would then learn more about it via other sources while it would have been best taught by their parents.
Kids would always want to learn more about what they get interested in and who better than the parents to guide them right. Parents also has a duty in the primary education of their kids.
Not showing much interest in gambling so that the kids may aswell not want to get into it seeing that you show little to no interest is a good strategy and aswell has got its own pitfall too so while you consider it that advantages we should aswell look at the disadvantage as well which could be the fact that the child could get inquisitive and want to try it out.

Not all kids by into the idea of Loosing interest because you did, some may want to know why you lost interest and that alone could be their own interest point. I think it's best to do your gambling activities outside their presence, maybe in your room or only when you are alone as as the topic of their threads, never gamble in front of the kids that's the best way not to get them even indulged or further getting interested so it's best you keep your gambling habits to your self but then also know it's very possible these kids could also get the knowledge of gambling even from outside not necessarily from you.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 18, 2024, 09:42:00 PM
Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.
Knowing that they higher your stake the higher you are going to win or loose aswell so you should always try to rism as much as you can afford to lose and not to look at what some other person is putting at stake because of such person loses you can imagine how much will be gone and considering yourself will you be able to let go of such amount at once?


So it's really needless and not ideal envying or looking at some one who is staking high because you may have no  Idea as to how much such person is capable of loosing at a time and their pocket size or even the reason behind their aggressiveness with the games they pick, so it's better and safer you stick to your strategy and not mind what others are doing. You can also build up with your little stakes and before you know it, you get to the point where you are winning big too so focus more on your own growth rather than what others are doing.
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling and religious restrictions on: January 18, 2024, 09:30:59 PM

Gambling is not bad, it is the gamblers that are abusing it. All these religious books where all the religious laws and doctrines are enshrined were written by people to ensure that their followers be at peace with themselves and their neighbours as well.

Now, people are aware of all the implications of gambling recklessly.  Those who gamble recklessly are the bad guys giving  gambling the bad name. Those who just want to have fun  have nothing to lose and if they win , that's their luck. There is nothing wrong with responsible gambling.
The abuse of gamble by gamblers has bees the main reason most persons have rather seen gambling as evil or a very bad practice but then if these gamblers were responsible enough I doubt if these people out there would see gamble I'm the worng light and give it such condemnation as it's been given now.

On religious groups the major reason gambling nis usually been something religious bodies and people are against it is because they see it as a means of getting unjustifiable wealth quickly but then they fail to understand that for a professional gambler it's actually a job and they do commit a lot to it before some of them actually turns profitable from it especially when there's some discipline alongside strategy for winning I don't think at that point it should still be seen as a get rich quick scheme without a proper from as to how such wealth was gotten because for some one who has taken a good number of years and time to build such even with gambling didn't do that just quick without hard work
1170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 18, 2024, 09:14:10 PM
I absolutely hope they do keep winning from now on because that is the only way we are guaranteed a nice Serie A final at the end of the season. Inter Milan won't undergo severely weak times in my opinion. Nobody can tell whether they will lose a game, but I would be certain enough to say that they won't drop a whole lot of points out of a sudden. If Juventus doesn't keep up with Inter Milan from now on, this season will be over in a few weeks from now when Inter can extend their lead by several points. Now it all looks exciting to me, esepecially because they still play their match in a few weeks from now.
Inter Milan is very likely to win the serie A having shown the kind of performance they have shown so far and standing at the top of the table with  51 points two points away from Juventus standing nat the second position who is also trying to get to the top of the table and win the trophy as much as possible.

At the beginning of the Start of the champions league round of sixteen Juventus may have a chance or an opportunity to to get back at the top of the table because because they will have inter Milan distracted a bit meanwhile they still retain their whole focus on the serie A which will means inter Milan might either loose form back at the serie A due to the pressure they will be getting from the champions league nevertheless it's still very possible they will be able to balance their performance and still get something out of the serie A.

Nice is not yet convincing enough to catch up with PSG, which currently has a difference of 8 points. I don't think Nice is trivial, but PSG is indeed a super power team compared to the teams you mentioned. So it's no wonder that this season PSG will win Ligue 1 easily again.

Correct. It could be that for Mbappe, this will be his last year with PSG because rumors are growing that he will leave after this season finishes. Of course PSG fans want to see that before Mbappe leaves, PSG must win the UCL League. Even though PSG are not currently favorites, there is no harm in hoping that a miracle will come for PSG this season.
Eight points difference will means PSG loosing three straight matches and Nice winning three straight matches aswell but then this is almost impossible to happen because both team can't have such results straight at a time but you can be sure PSG will definitely win at least one of any threw games they play in the Ligue 1.

On the whole of the Ligue 1 PSG is more superior to any other team in the Ligue 1. Mbappes stay in PSG at this point is very likely not definite because there has been no absolute information about his leaving or staying so far but then it's very likely he will not be staying beyond this season but then it's very possible if he doesn't get to see a better offer out there he my want to settle awhile in PSG again, so far it seems like his Real Madrid deal isn't going to take place more. Very likely PSG may win the Ligue 1 title this season again and it definitely won't be surprising as they have been doing it too often and it's almost becoming a norm.

if champion league still dificult can back to back manchester city this season.
There are still strong teams with many stars and winning traditions in the champion league. for example there are real madrid, bayern munchen. PSG, although it is not the first tier superior team, should also be aware of the many star players there including Mbappe. although PSG does not have a winning tradition in the champion league. but still need to be aware.
Talking about winning tradition in the champions league, PSG and Bayern Munich are yet to have a consecutive winning tradition in the champions league enough to to lay them side by side with Manchester city and Real Madrid who have set historic records with the number of the champions league they have won.

If Manchester city win the the champions league this season again it will be twice in a row which I'm sure PSG or Bayern Munich has not attempted in the history of the UCL , Bayern Munich and PSG back in their various domestic leagues do have a good record of their performance so far which is undeniably brilliant as they both have dominance in their domestic league just that this season Bayern Munich has got a good contender for their dominance in their domestic league, champions league has got a very different form of competitiveness all together so they definitely can't be performing in like manner as their domestic league.

According to the H2H statistics, the last time Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid met, they both had some goals, Real Madrid was able to beat atletico 5-3 a good margin which shows superiority from Real Madrid and a good fighting spirit from atletico aswell. Both teams are very strong and are good contender against each other.

It's few minutes to kick off and going by the line up, Real Madrid is really willing to leave no stone unturned by the end of this match, atletico is a tough side too and I don't expect any less from them either considering their performance so far in the serie A this season, this is Copa de ray which isn't such a big deal for Real Madrid, putting this into consideration it's possible Madrid may likely want to give up this for a better performance in the UCL which is by the Conner so I wouldn't be in so much awe if I see Real Madrid with a performance below what we expected of them tonight
1174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 18, 2024, 08:12:47 PM
As arsenal hasn't been playing well, all I can hope for is a victory vs Crystal Palace, which would boost Arsenal and make everything appear better. If Arsenal loses, though, it will emotionally damage Arsenal and maybe impair their performance. and since both clubs need this point is not going to be an easy game but arsenal seriously needs to win. and if arsenal keep losing points they will fall behind and it will be more difficult for them to catch with Liverpool and Manchester city because does two are already leaving arsenal behind and that will bad for us.
I think Arsenal hasn't gone that bad to be defeated by crystal place considering what have seen crystal palace play in recent times, I don't consider them to be able to win Arsenal easily even when Arsenal is in their weakest form currently, I'm very optimistic Arsenal will see this as an opportunity to getting three points.

Not letting this Opportunity bass them by is one thing I'm very sure Arsenal will want to do, because they are very much aware of how much this Three points can help them to regaining their confidence back and also helping their morale to getting back to their form which they were at the beginning of the season, crystal palace hasn't been really brilliant in their performance and for a team like Arsenal who has got a better squad dept, I'm expecting they will not be able to win them but at most a draw will be to the advantage of crystal palace as a point wouldn't help Arsenal that much.

I'm really looking forward to this match happening, Leipzig is also a strong team and if Leverkusen fail to win this match then their position at the top will be threatened by Bayern. However, looking at the performance of these two teams in the last 5 matches (between Leverkusen vs Leipzig), Leverkusen has a pretty big chance of winning this match, The point is that Leverkusen has to be careful of the home team because Leipzig is quite dangerous at home.

Koln vs Dortmund will also be an interesting match, Koln is in the relegation zone and has performed very poorly in the last 5 matches so it will be quite easy for Dortmund to beat Koln.
The attention drawn to the fixture between Leverkusen and Leipzig is due to the fact that Leverkusen has got a record which they have maintained so far this season and Leipzig has in recent times been a strong and tough contender so it very probable that both team are going to have a fierce battle and the best team will win.

Leverkusen in a bid to maintaining their spot at the top of the table in order not to be displaced by Bayern Munich will definitely put up a very good fight against Leipzig and Leipzig would want to be the first to break the unbeaten record Bayern Leverkusen have been able to maintain this season. It very likely the game will end in a draw because both team have much at stake and they are both in their good form, Leverkusen should be improve their performance if they must be able to penetrate the defense line of Leipzig because Leipzig has got a good defense.

We'll see how far Daniele De Rossi can bring AS Roma to play even better, just now that's what they need. It's not easy to continue the duties of the previous coach, especially this is in the half of the season which does not have much time to prepare everything.
They are in 9th place now, I hope he doesn't focus too much on the standings first, it would be better if he focused on improving the team's performance. They will get the standings when they can play better than now.
Half a season is a tight time, but it can be utilized very well with one note that he must provide his best strategy to make AS Roma better. Do not let AS Roma's decision to sack Mourinho be considered a wrong decision.
I as much as Daniel De Rossi have little to no time on his side before the league comes to an end, he has still got an opportunity to show how well he can perform before the season end, definitely Roma wouldn't be expecting him to get the trophy for them rather he should be able to help the team improve beyond their current form.

If Daniel Da Rossi is able to help the team get to the to five position on the table then it could be seen as a good start for home considering the fact that he came in almost very late but if he fails to get the team a bit above their present form and performance then that will be considered starting on a very poor note which doesn't make him any better than José Mourinho who just left the team in what seems like a bad shape, Rossi at this time should be more focused on his tactics to winning games because that was one of the challenges Mourinho had because all his tactics seem not to have been fitting to his players.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.
There are times when proceeds from gambling can really go a long way helping the winner fix up a few things in their lives and especially for the smart ones who would make sure to use such money for something reasonable knowing it doesn't come all the time and so when ever it does it should be used wisely.

Gambling proceeds can sometimes help us fix up things we couldn't have been able to raise such money and fix within such short period of time and at that point the proceeds turns out to become a life saver but this is mostly seen when used most wisely and not just to go party hard or reinvesting I'm to gambling due to greed with the hope of getting it even bigger this time and may sadly end up loosing it all back to the casino. Gambling isn't that bad as been portrayed but can be used usefully to our own advantage.

Arsenal coming very close to winning the league last season must have given them the morale that they can do it this season. I think Arsenal are well placed to challenge for the EPL title again this season but are once again in need of reinforcements. Right now, they are in desperate need of attacking recruits after a poor run of form that has seen their EPL title challenge stutter.
Somehow I don’t really know if the team isn’t firing or it’s the inefficiency of their strikers, but they played last season and it wasn’t dependent on a striker bagging in goals but spread across the team and that was why they had the most goal scorers in a team. I don’t really understand why they haven’t been replicating that form of last season. Whatever they switched to this season has affected their efficiency.
.
Earlier Arsenal did looked like they were well prepared and positioned to win the premiere league this season, they did performed impressively that at some point without out much doubt we would believe that arsenal have got very good chance at winning the premier league this season.

Currently it's seeming like a repetition of what happened last season where they were very much closed to winning the premier league and they had a set back and Manchester city took advantage and won the League, so this season they got the confidence and we're thinking they will be able to get pass where they did stopped last season but now unfortunately for them they are down with several set back and Lossing of points they may end up in the top four again this season.

The Saudi League's approach is smart. These famous players are meant to boost the league's profile. Football quality and worldwide attention are both important. I want to watch how this approach plays out and who makes the big move.
The Saudi guys have got a really good marketing strategy and approach as to how they are going to promote their leagues ad get the desired attention because that's what they need if they must make good money from their League, more attention will means more ticket and jersey purchasing power and even investors.

Getting these big European players looks like a strategy to getting attention because these players have made big name in football enough that wherever they are they, they always get good attention from which money can be made, and in order to get these European stars they have to make offers bigger than what is applicable in the European leagues and that way these players without a second taught will join them after getting higher pay is one of the reasons they want to play football.

It's clear that Barcelona this season is really bad, their game is a mess without any cohesion at all, so it's no wonder Barcelona won't beat Real Madrid, even against Girona they can't.

So, this season, Barcelona had to give up the La Liga title to Real Madrid. It seems that they cannot compete to retain the La Liga title this season. They can only maintain their top four rankings, which is already grateful. Because the problems faced by Barcelona this season are very complete, starting from financial, internal disharmony between very influential in the next matches and will even affect the UCL league against Napoli in the round of 16.
Maintaining the top four ranking will means they will be able to participate in the UCL next season so it wouldn't really be a bad one for them, just that they will only go without a trophy this season and they will have to put in some effort to still maintain a spot amongst the top four els they may be displaced by other teams.

Barcelona have a little problem with their ya tactical approach to games aswell, after the first El classicilo this season which was were they started recording their series of losses, they were blaming it on the absence of few of their players who's absence was due to injury such as lewandoski but then even his return couldn't do so much for the team aswell so back to the coach he has most often refused to use more vibrant and young minds who could play and help the team get results rather he keeps the likes of yamal and Felix on the bench till second half which isn't helping them either.
