Manchester United fans will be embarrassed to see the score line. They failed to crush Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, instead they were the ones under pressure from the opponents frontline. Crystal Palace attacks finally paid off in the 64th minute when they got a goal through their striker Mateta. The two Manchester sides are having a terrible season, looks like only United have a chance at silverware this season.

I thought I would see Mainz win against Union Berlin. This season, Mainz is not a weak team. Mainz players have been able to defeat giant teams like Frankfurt and Bayern Munich. However, Mainz lost against Leverkusen in the last match. And I thought that Mainz would get back on track again with a win against Union Berlin.

However, Union Berlin is performing quite well with the help of their new coach. After losing several matches in a row, Union Berlin has seen a win. However, I will say that Union Berlin deserves to win in this match against Mainz. The performance of Berlin players in this match was organized. On the other hand, the performance of Mainz players was weak. Mainz players were able to make only one on target shot in the entire match.

I don't want to believe that the reason why Manchester United aren't consistent since Ruben Amorim arrived the club is because he lacks the managerial ability to help them become a very competitive team rather, I think it's because the current players at the club are finding it difficult to adapt to his tactical approaches. This is January transfer window but we're yet to see any new signing by the club and to be honest, I'm worried. Ruben Amorim needs to make few signings and bring in players that'll help establish his style of football in the club or continue to suffer inconsistency in their results

Fiorentina decline started in their last 6 or 7 games just as you have said, earlier on in the season, they were doing well but declined all of a sudden, maybe their squad depth isn't enough to stay at the very top in which they had planned to, maybe fatigue has set in for the players and they are tired that's why they have this sudden decline in form which has been affecting their recent run of form.

Sacking Guardiola will be a poor decision because this is only the first time his team has struggled this much so if the team doesn't trust him in a time like this, it means they don't deserve him. As you said, it's difficult to explain what is really wrong with them, but we have to remember that Rodri was not the only player he missed. He was without KDB, Doku, Grelish, Ake, Dias, and Stones at a certain point in this season.

I believe with a few players in strategic positions Pep can get his team back to winning ways. Players like Walker and Gundugan have failed to live up to expectation so people shouldn't regard them as top players. KDB has been too injury prone to be at top level. Worst of all, Pep's system relies on a DM and without a reliable DM they'll struggle.

3 more days ladies and we'll have back to back test series everywhere.

Windies vs Ban
NZ vs Eng

and much awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Both Aussies and Indians are under the pump and need wins under their belt, just to fancy their chances for the WTC finals.

Hosts are a firm favorite and it brings different kind of pressure because it's a home series and everybody expects you to win. Also, the Indians are low in confidence due to the drubbing they received at home. The batting lineup looks shaky as well and lot of uncertainty due to injuries and a lean patch of form of seniors.

Despite everything, it should be a cracking series and will define a legacy of senior players. Be it Smith-Cummins-Starc-Lyon or their Indian counterpart (Don't forget Aus didn't win a single series against India in the last decade) and a couple of em will take retirement soon so they would hope to bag BGT this time. It's also the last Australia tour for Kohli-Rohit-Ashwin-Jadeja, all of them played a crucial role in every Aussie tour and they would hope for one last brave effort.

surely Manchester City is one of the favorite teams to win the title since it is a stable and strong team
Furthermore Pep Guardiola is a young and modern coach. all his techniques are extremely useful and cutting edge
I see Manchester City as the only one who can win this year

Where do you think those donations come from? North Korea, China, Syria or Iran? 
Those donations in Bitcoins to Ukraine are possible because the west is sending bitcoins.

What more do you want from the US? Biggest mining farms, most bitcoin nodes, most LN channels, most BATM, biggest investors, companies, and funds owning bitcoin in the world, ask other countries to do at least a third of it.

These countries are allies and sanctions will not let them interfere despite many countries will join in giving sanctions but these countries are more focus in their business and that they know how the economy will be affected. Russia in other ways know these at first that China will still support them even there are many countries who will against them.

Hello, I am from Germany and today I have to watch on TV what is happening in Ukraine. Are there any easy way to help from here? So with bitcoin or cryptocurrencies? I think we can help a little bit here from our community. I wrote this in English and I hope you understood this. All the best.

I'm sorry, but maybe my family and I will die tomorrow if the world does nothing, so
Ban Russia from SWIFT! Protect Ukrainian Sky! Send NATO to Ukraine! #BanRussiafromSwift #CloseTheSky #SendNatoToUkraine
 you can ban me if you think it's necessary!!!

Using banks is way too convenient for people to abandon them. It's like boycotting cars or the Internet or smartphones at this point. And there's really no alternative to them now, not even our beloved crypto, because of fees, transaction times, price volatility, lack of merchant support, weakness to malware and so on. So I can totally see how people who boycott the banks today will return to them in a few weeks once this all blows over.

It's hard to pinpoint all the interconnections, hopes and fears that drive financial related transactions but I distinctly remember right after Covid started. The stock market began to crash and Bitcoin went with it - so the effect is not limited to specific assets, or sub classes within those assets. However there definitely is correlation between cryptocurrencies for all sorts of motives - you've got whales involved, which might sometimes be hedgefunds trying to take profits when things look negative and you've got people who bought in but were hoping to see rises, then they get spooked at the large amount of volatility in the market - people are happy to see it go up 10% in a day, but might get spooked if it drops 3%. It's impossible to tie these things down to one reason, because there are millions of different motivations and requirements out there.

There is a huge difference in what can and what is going to be done.
Most likely they will stick with technology access and investment and financial sanctions as well as probably a ban on some categories of goods for good.

Not much on paper but I will have to remind everyone, especially the guys that we're cheering how Huawei will piss on US sanctions that the king of 5G is selling his flagship smartphones without 5G as they are cut from that technology, and these are sanctions on a company, not a country.

I already know what people are going to say, but Russia will seek other trade partners, bla bla bla, they will replace the western trades with somebody else.
Yeah, they might try but the success will be limited, and it's simply because of the sizes of the economy, Russia if it will cut completely western trades they must import from other places, it's a 120 billion market which might sound tempting till you realize that just 3 countries like Thailand, Malezis and Brazil export that much to the US alone, not counting the EU. Will these risk throwing away 112 billion in exports in order to battle for a piece of a pie that is just 120 billion (for now as the ruble will most likely lose more value) in total? No.

So, with who are you going to trade, a block of countries with 28 trillion in GDP or a country with the economy size of the Netherlands alone?
The answer is pretty clear.


Use logic.
Russia needs to sell that oil or it will starve, they will try to sell it cheaper to partners that now buy Arabic oil like Asian countries, Europe will simply pay a bit more and Arabic countries will export the oil that was meant for Asia oil here. Oil is easy to transport, gas was and is the problem.

You need to provide a proof to that ban story because the news going round the internet is that Russia planning to regulate bitcoin and they don't plan this while plan ban https://currency.com/russia-likely-to-regulate-crypto-like-foreign-currencies?



That is a link above to get the information on the regulation, Putin is making plans to regulate.

If all the transactions will be done online, then bitcoin will definitely fit for it. But most of the people still prefer fiat because they are used to it especially in the case for older citizens as they are not totally inclined with using new technology payment system. However, i would say that bitcoin has not failed in its own goal because some countries at the moment are already starting to establish solid proofs about bitcoin before they will consider adopting it as a currency. And bitcoin does not end here, good things will certainly happen in the future and maybe by that time, bitcoin will be used already as an alternative to fiat.

Well, not everyone would think like that since I believe both fiat and Bitcoin should exist at the same time. They can't eliminate fiat and switch to Bitcoin since only fiat is being controlled by the government therefore, they can have it while owning a Bitcoin will remain in your own wallet and you are free to use it as you may. So it's just up to the people if they want fiat or Bitcoin, as long as there is a merchant who could accept Bitcoin or fiat if someone wants to withdraw.

So choosing between fiat and Bitcoin is still on a big debate.
