I'm a little shocked. last 9 consecutive World Cup matches called correctly by this thing i built a couple weeks ago.. so the way it works is simple... to be clear, i'm not using AI or any of that LLM stuff because honestly a chatbot has never watched a football match in its life... and you can tell when it tries to pretend it has. instead i'm using regular numbers, the stuff sports analysts have been using for decades. i trained my modal with this data: > FIFA's official world ranking, because that gives you the baseline of how good each team actually is on paper > an Elo rating, the same system chess uses, which updates faster than FIFA so it catches teams that are getting hot or falling off > the last 5 matches each team played with goals scored and conceded, because momentum in football is real even when the squad on paper hasn't changed > expected goals (xG) from those same 5 matches, which measures how many goals a team SHOULD have scored based on the quality of chances they created, because raw goals can be misleading when one team got lucky with a long shot and the other missed three open chances > i also keep feeding it with player injuries and suspensions for the matchday squad, because if a team is missing their top scorer or first-choice keeper the whole calculation has to shift and the model weights that drop in > the all-time head-to-head history, because sometimes one team just has another team's number for whatever reason and the raw rankings don't catch that pattern on their own > a simulation that runs each potential match thousands of times in the background so the model can also tell you who's most likely to win the entire World Cup, not just any single match โ–ซ๏ธHere's what a prediction actually looks like look at the screenshot. it's Argentina vs Austria. the model picks Argentina to win 2-1, gives them a 71% chance against Austria's 7%, with a 22% chance of a draw... { argentina won by 2-0 } what i like is it tells you exactly why, not just gives you a number. - Argentina is ranked #2 in the world while Austria is #24. - Argentina has won their last 5 matches scoring 15 goals and conceding only 1. - Austria has 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 with 11 goals scored and 3 conceded. - And the two teams have only played twice ever, with the last match being a 1-1 draw all the way back in 1990. so you're not taking the prediction on faith, you can see exactly what's driving it. i love what i have built... feel free to drop any 2 World Cup teams in the comments and i'll run the model for you tonight..

SGAโ€™S EXCELLENCE: FUELING OKCโ€™S DOMINANCE & AN MVP CAMPAIGN โ€œThat was a masterpiece,โ€ said Thunder coach Mark Daigneault after Shai Gilgeous-Alexanderโ€™s 45-point outburst in Thursdayโ€™s win over Indiana. โ€œShai was outstanding โ€ฆ He was at his own pace the entire night. Great blend of passing and attacking. Great blend of shooting and attacking. He just had total control of the wheel.โ€ SGAโ€™s masterful outing extended the Thunderโ€™s league-best win streak to nine games. Tonight, OKC will face Charlotte (6 PM ET, NBA TV), looking to match its longest win streak in a single season since 2013-14 โ€” with Gilgeous-Alexander firmly in the driverโ€™s seat. MVP Level: Ranked third on the Kia NBA MVP Ladder, SGA (31.1 ppg, 6.1 apg, 2.0 spg) is the only player in the league averaging 30+ points, 6+ assists and 2+ steals. Leveling Up: Amid the win streak, heโ€™s elevated his game, averaging an NBA-best 33.8 points and 2.6 steals while raising both his FG% (54.2) and 3P% (37.3). In Thursdayโ€™s win, SGA shot 15-of-22 (68.2%) from the floor, 4-of-5 from deep (80%) and 11-for-11 (100%) from the line, becoming just the fourth player in NBA history to score 45+ points on 65/80/100 shooting splits or better. One game prior, he dropped 41 points with three steals and three blocks โ€” a feat no other player has accomplished this season โ€” proving his impact extends well beyond scoring. Since 2018-19, his first NBA season, SGA leads all players in 30+ point, 3+ steal games with 39. In that same span, he ranks first among guards in games of 3+ blocks and 3+ steals with seven. This season, SGA leads the Thunder in total steals (57) and blocks (32), and 72% of their forced turnovers come when heโ€™s on the floor. His all-around excellence drives OKCโ€™s success on both ends โ€” at an unprecedented level โ€” as itโ€™s on pace to become the first team to record more steals than turnovers since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78. โ€œThereโ€™s two sides of the ball on every possession,โ€ said SGA after Mondayโ€™s win. โ€œI try to affect the game anywhere I can on every possession and help my team win.โ€ Tonight, the Thunder will not only look to match their longest single-season win streak since 2013-14 but also equal their best 30-game start since moving to Oklahoma City with 25 wins โ€” a mark set by the โ€™13-14 squad. That team was led by Kevin Durant, who went on to win that seasonโ€™s Kia NBA MVP. Eleven years later, OKC has another MVP-caliber player leading a historic start.

Ep. 31: Gabe Whaley - Playing the Crowd and Outlasting the Hype Gabe Whaley (Gabriel Whaley) is co-founder and CEO of MSCHF (MSCHF), the art collective, fashion and footwear brand, startup, and fill-in-the-blank, famous for its viral products and cultural interventions. A few notable works include Jesus Shoes (Nike Air Max filled with holy water), Severed Spots (a "decentralized" Damien Hirst print), Museum of Forgeries (One original Warhol and 999 perfect forgeries), and of course the Big Red Boot. This conversation was heavily influenced by MSCHF's recently released Made by MSCHF, a "textbook," through which the team peels back the curtain and shows us inside the black box that has produced more viral hits than one can count. Gabe had a sheltered childhood and went to two years of army academy at West Point before eventually finding his way to New York City to intern at Buzzfeed around 2014. In his spare time, he started releasing weird internet projects under the name "Miscellaneous Mischief." After tasting virality a few times, he started collaborating with likeminded creatives and eventually formalized MSCHF in 2019. I've known Gabe for many years (and even did a small collaboration with him from my seat at 100 Thieves). We sat down to reflect on the last 15 years and the arc of MSCHF, what made it special, and where one goes next when virality makes you feel nothing and the internet feels mature. The conversation includes MSCHF's eye-of-the-beholder legibility, their obsession with value, the power of mystery, and how the product doesn't culminate with release, but after the audience has made it their own (in MSCHF parlance, "playing the crowd"). We also discuss the creative process behind the hit factory, how acting as a label rather than individuals changes their relationship to the work, whether the cultural future is actually canceled, how the internet has changed, and how real world experiences offer something to the creator and the consumer that digital life simply can't. We wrap-up by speed-running through many of MSCHF's internal values, from "always punch up," to "death is just as importance as birth," to perhaps its defining frame: "nothing is sacred." I hope you are inspired toward play, originality, embracing discomfort, and having the courage to burn it all down and start anew.

Pressing, transitions and goals in Canada! After the hiring of Jesse Marsch this week by Canada Soccer , there has been lots of talk about pressing and transitions in the football community. This is THE style of play that we have used for the last 5 years with Alliance United FC in @L1OMens and will give you some insight in how this can look. We went away from the 'possession' based 1-4-3-3 that everyone has been using as the 'best way' to develop players and win games. Many say this is the 'right way' of playing. However, we use the players' abilities and inabilities as the starting point and based on players produced in Canada, within our youth system, this is the way we think will get us the best results and help our players get to the next level. You need to understand youth development in our country to understand what is and what is not being taught to young players. This is not a negative outlook, it is just looking at the reality. Many mistake this style of play as just non-stop pressing and chaos. Yes, these two aspects are important but it is a much more deliberate and planned way of playing that is used to predict where the opposition will play the ball, where the ball can be dictated and what areas the opposition leave open for transitions when they attack. In 2019, I was introduced to Ernst Tanner former Academy Director of Red Bull Salzburg and current Philadelphia Union Sporting Director that has led the club to being one of the top clubs in MLS and arguably the best academies in North America the last few years. Both organisations are known for their pressing and fast transitions in addition to producing top players. He became a mentor to me and gave me insights and education on this style of play. He has changed the way I look at football. Every season we try to recruit players that can play this style that I will describe below and we do not waiver in the way we played. Every game since 2019 Alliance United FC have played either in a 1-4-2-2-2 or a 1-4-4-2 midfield diamond....every game. We have no secrets in how we play. We focus on defending, pressing, forcing teams into mistakes and transition football. It is important to understand that we do not care how much possession we have and we actually want the opposition to have the ball most of the time. Stats in football show that only when a team has the ball 70% or more in a match their is a correlation to winning. Anything less is not correlated to winning in a certain match. In addition, 80% of goals are scored under 5 passes or less and under 10 seconds when regaining possession. We follow the trend! So, here are some important points based on the video: a) Pressing higher up the pitch when possible. All 11 players are committed to the team intention (principles) and if anybody is not committed and does not contribute to this style of play, they do not play. There is no leeway on this. Either you are in 100% in or you are not. All it takes is one player to not commit and the plan will not work. If we do not win the ball on the high press, everyone is to drop behind the ball as fast as possible to restart the press closer to our goal. b) Based on the opponent's scouting we press certain players and decide if will press closer to the sideline and 'pin' the player to the sideline or we dictate the passes and dribbles centrally and 'surround' the player to win the ball in central positions. We also decide if we will sometimes drop lower for the opposition to advance so we can play behind them when winning the ball. This is done if we scout that the opposition centre-backs are slower than our two strikers. This means we will 'outrun' them in the space they leave behind. c) When winning the ball we want to exploit space behind their backline as the priority which means that a player(s) need to be passing options behind the backline and preferably centrally which is closer to the goal, players winning the ball has to look to play the ball to the player furthest up the pitch. Possession is not a priority but scoring goals as fast as possible is. d) When winning the ball we stay as central as possible with passes and dribbling. We use the width of the penalty area (44 yards) as the preferable dimension when transitioning. We want to stay within this width. The wider the team plays the ball, the more time the opposition has to block the middle. PLAY AS VERTICALLY AS POSSIBLE! The emphasis is to get the ball to the two strikers and play 1v1 against the CBs. e) We know that most youth players grow up playing against a 1-4-3-3 which means there is one central striker meaning the centre-backs one back press and one can cover. Against 2 strikers this is not possible and many centre-backs do not have the ability to play 1v1 with space behind them. They are not taught the cues to step and press or drop to protect space behind them. They are never taught at youth level. We exploit this deficiency. e) All 11 players must get up the pitch to close the spaces if we lose the ball from our attacking transition so the opposition cannot transition against us and we can counter-press. f) A goal is the best outcome based on the objective of attacking but at the minimum we want to get a shot on goal from a transition. This is a quick overview of a different way of playing football that Canada will see with the Men's National Team.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ OPINION: THE 2026 MIDTERMS ARE ALREADY ABOUT ONE THING... AFFORDABILITY Trump's Mt. Pocono rally today officially launched the 2026 midterm cycle with both parties finally agreeing on the central issue: affordability. The president's admission that he "can't call affordability a hoax because prices were too high" marks a rare moment of bipartisan consensus. Democrats running on kitchen-table economics just won Miami's mayoralty for the first time in 30 years. Republicans defending Tennessee's 7th district saw their margin shrink from 22 points to 9 when Democrat Aftyn Behn focused exclusively on cost of living. The message is clear: whoever solves affordability wins 2026. The structural challenge facing Republicans mirrors what every incumbent party has faced for 20 years. Trump's 41% approval rating matches exactly where his five predecessors stood at this point. The party in power has lost every midterm since 2006, averaging 26 House seats. This isn't about Trump specifically; it's about voter psychology. Americans gave Republicans unified control to fix inflation that peaked at 9.1% under Biden. With prices still up 25% on groceries and 47% on housing since 2020, patience is already wearing thin. Democrats smell opportunity but face their own credibility problem. They presided over the worst inflation in 40 years, and voters haven't forgotten. Their sudden conversion to affordability evangelists rings hollow when Biden spent four years insisting the economy was strong while families struggled. The party's challenge is explaining why they should be trusted on an issue where their recent record is flat out disastrous. Simply running against Trump without offering concrete solutions won't work when voters care more about grocery bills than political drama. Trump's economic message contains both promise and peril. His tariff strategy, which he credits with funding $12 billion in farmer aid, represents a genuine attempt to rebuild American manufacturing. Lower energy prices through increased drilling could reduce costs across the economy. But tariffs also raise consumer prices in the short term, and the Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled on his emergency powers to implement them. Treasury Secretary Bessent's push for rapid interest rate cuts could stimulate growth or reignite inflation. These policies need time to work, but midterm voters rarely give presidents that patience. The real insight from today's rally and recent elections is that both parties are fighting the last war. Republicans assume Trump's personal brand will overcome economic headwinds, while Democrats think opposition to Trump alone ensures victory. Neither strategy addresses what voters actually want: someone to make life affordable again. The party that moves beyond partisan positioning to deliver tangible cost reductions will dominate 2026. Everything else is noise.

Honkai Star Rail issue TLDR; no real improvements towards the gameplay/TRPG depth itself while continuing to make changes that don't matter 'in the now'. More context; As of the last few patches it's felt like HSR has made 1 step forward & 3 back (Ex. Wishful Resin availability vs impact of the item). With a turn based RPG, I expect more actions to be taken that encourage strategic gameplay, combat/gear choices, or otherwise game defining matters that give the player more satisfaction (of their wins, accomplishments, goal challenges, etc.) in the game. Great examples of this are FF Tactics, Valkyria Chronicles, Octopath Traveler, & any Shin Megami Tensei or Fire Emblem game. I don't have any definite backing behind this, just my own assumptions & experiences, but it feels like HSR has become more greedy than their usual gacha self. A game (that presents itself) based around team structure, archetypes, & decision making has shown a severe lack of these since shortly after Superbreak's introduction. The lack of STRONG 4-stars has left many of our viable "teams" lingering on a "play this or bust" situation. Of course, having at least 80% of the limited 5-stars removes this entirely, but that introduces an entirely different subject that still favors my argument in the lack of team variety we have. Ex. The counter-archetype team. There's little to no difference between THE optimal team if you use Yunli or Clara, despite the two of them playing differently w/ different build opportunities. You won't swap support units because they offer a new 'thing' to benefit Yunli/Clara. You will swap units because you don't have the premier one or you don't have the other premier one (i.e Sunday vs Sparkle selection). The enemy design has been decent, with some bosses having amazing potential, but that effort is quickly made irrelevant due to the HP inflation or lack of preventative measures the avg player can take against them (i.e not having shields, cleanse, enhanced breaking, AV control, etc.) By no means is that me alluding to every player deserves every limited thing, but it is me saying there's 0 reason the last 4-star we got was on Sept 9th, and per the drip marketing received, we aren't getting a new one any time soon. On stream, I spoke about how impactful a row system (Persona 1, Unicorn Overlord, Torna DLC for Xenoblade 2, etc.) would be to the strategy behind the game IF they prioritized combat depth instead of selling only selling limited characters. HSR has the potential to really put their foot in the combat strategy and team building of the game, but I don't understand the reason they refuse to do it when they have the means to. This brings me to the greed I believe HSR has displayed lately. There are multiple pts I want to address on this matter, but this tweet is too long & I wanna go play Metaphor so I'll try to emphasize this point a lot stronger. Keep in mind, these items are conceptually of top 3 importance in the game (value wise). * There is 0 reason the bundle of Wishful Resin should cost $35-50 worth of stellar jade bundles instead of a flat price. They are purposely inflating your purchase on an item that, in my opinion, is insanely valuable for every player. * Trading 800 relic remains or Self Modeling Resin for 1 Wishful Resin is a scam. 800 RR = 80 trash relics or 2 +15 relics. Both of which, require you to invest a LOT of resources into in order to obtain them in the first place. * 2 sub-stats should not cost 4 Wishful Resin if 1 sub-stat only cost 1 Wishful Resin. * Receiving ONE WISHFUL RESIN FOR FREE per 40ish days, is INSANE. lol Receiving TWO IF YOU PAY per 40ish days is even more ludicrous. In the event you decided to buy all the Wishful bundles per 40 days & only choose the WR as your option, that's $120 (70 + 50) for 22 WR. Adding the BP into that is now just shy of paying for a limited character. Don't even get me started on how the only available dice in the game is paid for while still having a 75% chance to screw you over in RNG, either. I understand this looks like a giga rant, & it is. It pisses me off watching a game you avidly enjoy make decisions that, I can only assume, are out of pure greed. They could do so much to spin this game into an easy top 5 position with little to similar effort in pushing out stronger characters per $300. Hence, my feeling of being burnt out & even that took me months to understand/realize.

๐ŸŸขGIVEAWAY๐ŸŸข Best comments or memes about this whole circus + RT this post. 10 winners will each get $50๐Ÿ’Ž (For evidence, supporting materials, and context, read both articles and watch the video included in the article I posted yesterday) Housebets.com & Porchy pay your debts A few people told me they did not fully understand the first article because there were too many moving parts: leaderboard accounts, rewards, weekly dates, monthly bonus, Tequity, game categories, withdrawals, Provably Fair, seed changes, migration, support tickets, ledgers and founder messages. Fair enough. The evidence is already there, and I still recommend reading the full articles and, above all, watching the video, because the video shows the reward system failing live. But this text is the cleaner version: the full story explained in plain English, without assuming the reader knows anything about crypto casinos, leaderboards or lossback systems. From all the evidence Iโ€™ve gathered, the Housebets story is not a normal โ€œplayer lost moneyโ€ complaint. It looks like a full transparency failure across the whole product: leaderboard, rewards, withdrawals, game categories, Provably Fair / Tequity mapping, support, migration and founder response. Housebets sold itself as a rewards-first casino: public leaderboards, weekly/monthly bonuses, fast withdrawals, VIP treatment and Provably Fair games. But every time I asked for the records behind those systems, snapshots, ledger entries, weekly cycles, GGR/NGR, slider logs, PF seed mapping, Tequity round IDs, withdrawal approval logs, the answer became some version of โ€œforwarded to the relevant department.โ€ This started long before the public dispute. I was not some random angry player who appeared after one bad session. In January I was helping Housebets and giving product feedback. I literally told support on 27 January that I was โ€œtesting the website for George,โ€ while already dealing with a non-instant withdrawal and a 100% welcome bonus that had not applied. Support even asked me for โ€œproof about your testing job.โ€ The same chat shows the advertised 100% Welcome Bonus, the bonus not applying, and support saying the withdrawal needed internal confirmation instead of being instant. The welcome bonus issue never looked clean. Housebets advertised a 100% Welcome Bonus up to $1,000 on first deposit; I deposited, contacted support, and the bonus did not apply. Then support effectively turned a first-deposit bonus into a second-deposit workaround because the first one had not been applied properly. On 31 January I came back after another deposit and told them the bonus still had not been applied, even though I had already followed supportโ€™s instructions. Edward replied that he had โ€œforwardedโ€ the concern to the team. The same 100% welcome bonus was still being advertised in March. By April, the rewards system was already showing serious problems. I had the weekly slider at 100% lossback and told support I had lost money but the weekly did not appear. Jacky said the weekly was generated every Thursday at 00:01 UTC and gave actual internal figures: GGR $6,250, Total Bonus $6,083.99, NGR $168.31. So Housebets clearly had internal calculations when it wanted to explain why something might not pay. But when I later asked for full calculations, those same numbers suddenly became impossible to produce. Then on 18โ€“19 April, the rewards page was bugged and would not let me claim. Support could see a pending weekly bonus of $717.37, but I could not claim it from the UI. Tee said it had been forwarded to the relevant department. That $717.37 later appears in the bonus ledger as Rakeback (20 Apr) 717.37089061, so I am not saying that specific one stayed unpaid forever. The point is worse: already in April, support could see a pending weekly reward while the player-facing reward page did not work. For a casino built around rewards, that is not a small bug. That is the product. In May, the UI and account data kept failing basic trust checks. On 8 May, I deposited 400 USDT; support said it had been credited, but I could not see it, and the proposed fix was to log out, clear cookies and cache. On 16 May, I asked why total deposits and withdrawals had disappeared from the menu; support said the platform was โ€œin continuous evolution.โ€ On 17 May, I asked for my total deposits and withdrawals, and support said they did not have direct access to that consolidated summary and would email it. That full official ledger did not arrive. So when Housebets later defends itself with UI screenshots, remember: this was the same UI where deposits could be credited but invisible, totals disappeared, rewards pages bugged, and support could not access consolidated account totals. Withdrawals were also not what was advertised. On 16 May, I asked why a crypto withdrawal was pending if withdrawals were supposed to be instant. Tee answered: โ€œA few withdrawals require manual approval,โ€ then added, โ€œOur withdrawals are typically instant butโ€ฆโ€ That matters because a few days later the withdrawal delay became real damage. On 25 May, I told support before a match that I needed the funds to place a time-sensitive bet on another site in less than 20 minutes. I explained I wanted to bet around 60k at odds of 2.55. The withdrawal did not arrive in time. Later I told them the bet won and that I missed around 90k in profit because Housebets took more than two hours despite being warned before the match started. Jacky said he would raise the compensation case to the VIP team. Nobody resolved it. This was not one delayed withdrawal either. In my formal complaint I reconstructed several withdrawal delays: 23 May 02:55 โ†’ 08:03, around 5h08m; 25 May 03:05 โ†’ 08:09, around 5h04m; 17 May 03:54 โ†’ 08:02, around 4h08m; 18 May 04:46 โ†’ 08:11, around 3h25m; 16 May 05:23 โ†’ 08:12, around 2h49m. That is not โ€œinstant withdrawal.โ€ And if later marketing says withdrawals are much faster now, the obvious question is: if this was the faster version, what did slow look like? The Provably Fair / Tequity side was another major issue. On 17 May I asked support how to verify an old Blackjack round. I did not ask for a generic explanation of Provably Fair; I asked where I could see the server seed, client seed, nonce and result for previous games. Support sent me to bet history, mentioned RTP, gave a generic PF explanation and showed the current Dice seed screen. When I said that did not let me verify previous games, they told me to clear cookies/cache. After doing that, I saw a new client seed and nonce 1 even though I had not played with that seed pair. I asked if Housebets changes seeds on every login. Support could not answer and told me to contact VIP. That seed/session behaviour is important. I later recorded video evidence around the seed changing after clearing cookies/cache and asked for the exact mapping: Housebets account ID โ†’ Tequity/provider player ID โ†’ session/currency context โ†’ seed pair โ†’ server seed hash โ†’ revealed server seed โ†’ client seed โ†’ nonce/cursor โ†’ raw outcome โ†’ final result. Housebets cannot sell Provably Fair if the player cannot verify historical bets, and โ€œcontact VIPโ€ is not a verification algorithm. On 24 May, I asked for raw verification data for a specific Tequity Blackjack round: Round ID e1648d60-0da1-4433-a5ab-9ae39f5302e3, Blackjack, Tequity, bet amount 11,346 USDT, client seed O3YBZF7LBu, server seed hash starting 712875.... I asked for revealed server seed, nonce, full result JSON, card draw order and verification algorithm. I also asked about an apparent duplicate-card/deck question. Tee replied: โ€œI donโ€™t have the answers to your questions right now, but Iโ€™m forwarding your request to the relevant department.โ€ That same day, I asked for a full audit of six Dice bets of 11,400 USDT each, total 68,400 USDT. I requested bet IDs, provider round IDs, roll results, seed data, balance ledger, request/session logs, security logs, retry flags, provider records and a full technical reconciliation. Tee replied: โ€œI will forward this to the relevant department.โ€ So when I asked for raw data, the answer was not data. It was forwarding. Again. There were also many large loss clusters that required reconciliation because of those unresolved PF, Tequity, category, RTP and session questions. In my complaint I listed clusters such as 25 May 02:17โ€“02:54 Blackjack around 169,932 USDT; 16 May 12:31โ€“13:26 Dice around 90,571.92 USDT; 26 May 02:48โ€“03:58 Mines around 89,199 USDT; 24 May 06:20โ€“06:21 Dice at 68,400 USDT; 26 May 00:11โ€“01:41 Blackjack around 59,910 USDT; 25 May 22:51โ€“22:59 Dice around 59,576 USDT; and several more between 40k and 56k. I am not saying every losing cluster proves manipulation by itself. I am saying that when PF mapping, provider logs, RTP/HE, category mapping and seed/session behaviour are unresolved, these sequences need a real reconciliation. The leaderboard is where the story becomes very hard for Housebets to explain. Around 19โ€“20 May, two new accounts, elmourabut and lucasmartirini, appeared and started climbing every day at a vertiginous pace. Not normal slow leaderboard growth. Not a casual player building volume over time. They were created around that period and then started rising with huge wagering in a way that looked extremely unnatural for brand new accounts. By 29 May, I was first on both weekly and monthly leaderboards, and those two accounts were directly behind me with huge volume. In the monthly leaderboard screenshots, I was around $3.33M wagered, while elmourabut was around $1.29M and lucasmartirini around $1.08M. In the weekly leaderboard, I was around $1.096M, while those two accounts were around $635k and $578k. They were not normal accounts sitting at the bottom; they were directly behind me, applying pressure. In my formal complaint I recorded that elmourabut joined on 19 May and lucasmartirini on 20 May, that they showed zero visible withdrawals, large deposits/wagering and significant card-game volume, and I asked Housebets to confirm they were not staff, test, QA, admin, house-controlled, affiliate-controlled, internally funded, promotional, bonus-only or multi-account related accounts. This matters because a leaderboard is not passive. It is gamification. It makes players defend rank. When two new accounts appear behind you with hundreds of thousands or more than a million in volume, you are pressured to keep wagering. In my case, the disputed deposit sequence from 25 May 22:23 to 26 May 02:09 totals 91,168.375326 USDT. That sequence begins with 1,000.00 at 22:23 and continues with repeated deposits until 2,879.148969 at 02:09. The video later shows why those dates matter: there were deposits coming in, no gameplay withdrawal offsetting the sequence, a balance basically at zero, and later a leaderboard prize shown as P/L. I formally asked Housebets to confirm those two leaderboard accounts were real and eligible, and also to preserve wager logs, transaction records, balance adjustment logs, account flags, leaderboard calculation snapshots, support ticket logs, Telegram/email records and internal notes. Edward said he forwarded the request. In the same thread, he added that they were โ€œworking on fixing an issue regarding the weekly bonuses,โ€ and then said the weekly countdown was โ€œnot currently on Thursday evenings.โ€ So the leaderboard issue and the weekly bonus issue are linked in time and support context. After that, Housebets confirmed by email that elmourabut and lucasmartirini were โ€œlegitimate and eligible accounts.โ€ That email is the trap door. If they were legitimate and eligible, they should have remained in the leaderboard with their volume. If they were not, Housebets should never have confirmed them as legitimate and eligible. After that confirmation, the accounts disappeared from the leaderboard or stopped appearing in the positions their previous wagering required. I went back to support on 30 May and wrote: โ€œThere has been a material post-confirmation leaderboard change involving two accounts that Housebets had already confirmed as legitimate and eligible. I need the exact reason, timestamp, logs, and recalculation basis.โ€ Edward said the matter was flagged and that I could expect a prompt response. I am still waiting for the actual explanation. Why did they disappear? My read is simple: because every hour that passed, there was more evidence around those accounts. They had been created around the same period, they were climbing at a speed that looked anything but human, they showed no visible withdrawals in the data I could see and reported, they appeared to be generating huge volume in unclear game categories, and the games/categories tied to that volume did not even make sense from the player-facing UI. When I started asking what they were actually playing, what Card meant, whether the volume was Tequity / UnOriginals / House Games, what RTP and house edge applied, and where the logs were, the questions became uncomfortable. Keeping those accounts visible became harder than removing them. So they disappeared. The game category issue made the leaderboard even more suspicious. On 30 May, I asked support why my own stats showed almost all my volume under Slots / Tragamonedas when I did not play real slots. I told them: โ€œi dont play 3$ in unoriginals,โ€ โ€œi played all 3M in unoriginals,โ€ and โ€œive never play slots.โ€ I asked what โ€œCardโ€ was, where that game was, what RTP and house edge it had. Monica said Card was mainly Blackjack, Baccarat and Poker variants. Marcus later said the team was investigating why it showed that I mostly played slots when I had not. He could not give the exact game, RTP, HE, provider, category mapping or contribution logic. That matters because those same unclear categories were connected to leaderboard volume. If the site cannot clearly explain whether volume is Slots, Card, UnOriginals, House Games, Blackjack, Baccarat, Always 9 Baccarat or Tequity, then the leaderboard is not auditable for the player. I even asked which UnOriginals those two accounts were playing, and support told me to look at Live Bets. That is not an answer. I was not asking for gossip; I was asking what exact games generated leaderboard volume, what RTP/HE applied and whether that volume was eligible. There is also an earlier leaderboard-related precedent: Porchy had already told me in February that I would lose leaderboard places if I did not rename, because too many people were messaging support saying the site was not being fair due to my name and it โ€œdoesnโ€™t make us look good.โ€ That matters because it suggests leaderboard positioning was not treated as a sacred, untouchable system when public perception was involved. If leaderboard positions can be threatened for image reasons, then later claims that everything is purely automatic deserve scrutiny. Then Porchy made the leaderboard situation worse. Instead of producing logs or snapshots, he later said the leaderboard had โ€œabusersโ€ on it, that they were removed to help other players, and that it never affected me. Later he said they paid every single person, โ€œeven these abusers,โ€ then called me โ€œbegging for money.โ€ That creates a direct contradiction: Housebets confirmed the accounts as legitimate and eligible, then Porchy referred to leaderboard โ€œabusers.โ€ If they were abusers, why were they confirmed as legitimate and eligible? If they were eligible, why did they disappear? If they never affected me, where are the historical snapshots proving that? Once those accounts disappeared, Housebets paid the leaderboard prizes. On 1 June, the bonus ledger shows two Leaderboard entries: 5,007.46111706 and 1,001.49222341, totaling 6,008.95334047. That part was paid. But then Act Two started: the weekly and monthly rewards did not appear as separate ledger entries. The same bonus ledger shows those two 1 June entries as Leaderboard only, not Monthly Bonus, not Weekly Reload, not Lossback. The weekly timeline is a mess. On 28 May, the dashboard / UI said the weekly bonus was claimable every Thursday at 00:01 UTC, and the monthly was available on the 1st at 00:01 UTC. That same night I told support the weekly had shown as available, then reset to 6 days without paying. Later I sent screenshots and wrote: โ€œ1M wagered and 0.2$.โ€ Jacky said he had raised the issue to the technical team. So the weekly failure was reported live, not reconstructed after the fact. The next day, 29 May, Edward said they were fixing an issue regarding weekly bonuses and that the weekly countdown was โ€œnot currently on Thursday evenings.โ€ Then on 1 June, Spencer said the May weekly bonuses were 7th, 14th, 21st, and then due to migration the weekly moved to Monday, so there was one on the 25th on the new platform. He also said the 25 May weekly covered gameplay from 21โ€“24 May, and that tech was looking at that plus the monthly bonus. The ledger does show a 25 May 02:10 Rakeback entry of 1,996.08334791, which likely corresponds to that 21โ€“24 May weekly. But my major loss sequence starts about 20 hours later, on 25 May at 22:23, and continues until 26 May at 02:09. So the 25 May weekly cannot cover those losses. If weekly was still Thursday, the 25/26 losses should have been in the 28 May weekly. But the bonus ledger on 28 May shows only two tiny Rakeback entries, 0.28373945 and 0.00280958. If weekly moved to Monday because of migration, those losses should have appeared in the next weekly after 25 May. But on 1 June the ledger only shows Leaderboard entries. Then the final video shows the next Weekly Reload reaching zero, paying nothing and resetting to 6d 23h. So the same loss sequence appears to fall into no paid weekly cycle. The 4 June support conversation makes this even more ridiculous. After I recorded the weekly reset video, I asked support a very simple question: what were the last weekly dates/cycles? The dashboard / support flow again said weekly bonuses are claimable every Thursday at 00:01 UTC. Jacky confirmed: โ€œWeekly bonuses can be claimed every Thursday at 00:01 UTC in the Rewards tab,โ€ and added that if not claimed by the following Wednesday at 23:59 UTC, it expires. But when I asked for the exact last four dates, Jacky said he had to check with the relevant department. When I pressed again, he said, โ€œSorry, As I am only a CS, Let me raise your concerns to relevant department.โ€ I asked whether support did not have the information or simply could not answer. He replied: โ€œDo you have any other concerns?โ€ They use weekly cycles to decide whether to pay, but support cannot explain the weekly cycle. The monthly is missing too. The dashboard / UI said the monthly bonus is based on activity and VIP level from the previous month and is available on the 1st at 00:01 UTC. In May I had more than 3,258,023.0829 wagered according to the formal complaint data. I also have proof/video that the monthly slider was set to 50/50. On 1 June, Spencer first told me I had claimed the Monthly Bonus at 1:12am BST around the same time as the monthly leaderboard reward. I immediately said I only received leaderboard prizes. Then Spencer changed the answer: โ€œOur tech team are still actively working on issues regarding the monthly bonuses.โ€ So first the monthly was claimed, then tech was still fixing it. The ledger still shows no Monthly Bonus entry. Housebets then seems to rely on โ€œup overallโ€ as a defence. But the video and ledger show why that does not work. My weekly/monthly profile later showed around +6,008 P/L with 0 deposits, 0 wagered and around 6,008 in bonuses. That number matches exactly the two 1 June Leaderboard payments. So the UI is showing leaderboard rewards as P/L. Then support used โ€œup overallโ€ to say I was not eligible for weekly lossback. That is not a clean lossback calculation. That is using a leaderboard reward as apparent profit to deny a lossback that should be based on actual eligible losses. There were also smaller reward-confusion issues along the way. On 22 May I asked for all pending bonuses,weekly, monthly, rakeback, level-up, anything, and support said the internal team would manually verify whether everything had been credited correctly and email me. On 24 May, I asked about level-up rewards because the reward looked like $3,500 for Pearl; support clarified it was $3,500 total across all Pearl levels, $500 per level. These are not the core issues, but they are part of the same pattern: rewards marketing, unclear UI, manual verification, emails that do not arrive, and players having to chase basic explanations. Then there is the migration. On 25 May, after the delayed withdrawal, missing VIP contact and unresolved issues, support told me my account would be moved to the new platform and that this upgrade would offer a better withdrawal process and fix many issues. Before that migration, I explicitly requested that no account data, internal data, logs, balance history, bonus history, bet history, provider records or pending issues be deleted. The response: โ€œYour request has been relayed to the relevant department.โ€ Again, forwarding. But if the old data is safe, Housebets should provide the old leaderboard snapshots, old weekly states, old bonus logs, old Tequity mapping and old withdrawal approval logs. The founder response did not fix anything. When Porchy finally engaged, he did not provide the records. He framed the settlement request as โ€œso you want $100,000?โ€ and asked whether I needed it or else I was going to post on X. I had already made clear this was not money for silence; I asked for logs, snapshots, withdrawal records, calculations and a counter-calculation if Housebets disagreed. He later referred to โ€œabusers,โ€ told me I was โ€œup overall,โ€ said โ€œYou are begging for money,โ€ and suggested I โ€œjust do this to casinos.โ€ Still no ledger. Still no weekly calculation. Still no monthly entry. Still no PF/Tequity mapping. Still no leaderboard snapshots. Another player also contacted me with screenshots pointing to similar categories of issues: private deals, leaderboard payout disputes, migration/account merge problems, missing history and a tiny monthly bonus despite claimed losses. I am not using that playerโ€™s case as the foundation of my claim without his full ledger, but it matters because it suggests the same type of opacity may not be isolated: private VIP/reward deals, leaderboard eligibility, monthly bonus calculations, migration and unclear history. If Housebets has private deals that affect leaderboard eligibility or rewards, it must explain how those deals interact with public leaderboards. So the overall picture is this: Housebets sold a public leaderboard and rewards system that pressured real wagering. Two new accounts appeared directly behind me with huge volume, were confirmed as legitimate and eligible, then disappeared after I asked for logs and questioned game categories. Housebets could not explain the exact games, RTP, house edge or category mapping behind the volume. The accounts were later framed by Porchy as โ€œabusers,โ€ contradicting the earlier eligibility confirmation. Once Housebets paid me the leaderboard prizes, those prizes were shown as P/L, and that contaminated P/L was then used to claim I was โ€œup overallโ€ and not eligible for lossback. At the same time, my real 25 May 22:23 โ†’ 26 May 02:09 loss sequence of 91,168.375326 USDT appears in no clean weekly cycle. The 25 May weekly covered 21โ€“24 May according to Spencer, so it cannot cover that loss sequence. The 28 May weekly showed only tiny Rakeback entries and was already reported as broken. The 1 June ledger shows only Leaderboard entries. The later video shows Weekly Reload reaching zero, paying nothing and resetting. And when I ask support for the exact weekly calendar, they cannot answer and send it to the relevant department. The monthly is the same story. The dashboard / UI says it is based on activity and VIP. I had more than 3.25M wagered in May. Spencer first says I claimed it, then says tech is still working on monthly bonuses. The ledger shows no Monthly Bonus. If Housebets says I was not eligible, they need to show the formula, slider history, cycle, GGR/NGR, eligible loss/activity, deductions and ledger result. If they cannot, โ€œnot eligibleโ€ is just another label. And this opens another can of worms: Tequity / provider configuration. Housebets cannot hide behind โ€œthe providerโ€ whenever something goes wrong. The player does not deposit with Tequity. The player does not withdraw from Tequity. The player does not speak to Tequity support. The player does not compete in a Tequity leaderboard. The player plays on Housebets, with a Housebets wallet, Housebets UI, Housebets rewards, Housebets leaderboard and Housebets support. 1/2

17-Year-Old Adelia Petrosyan Crowned Champion, Winning Back-To-Back Russian Figure Skating Championships ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ โž–โž–โž– 17-year-old Russian-Armenian figure skater Adelia Petrosyan has won the title of Russian Champion for the second year in a row following an outstanding performance at the 2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships in Omsk, Russia, once again showing her dominance in womenโ€™s single skating. The Senior Championships were held in Omsk from December 18 to 22, 2024. Now a two-time Russian champion, Petrosyan scored an impressive 262.92 points across the short and free programs, a remarkable improvement from last yearโ€™s winning score of 246.53 points, where she also secured the same title. Daria Sadkova earned the silver medal with 234.69 points, while Alina Gorbacheva rounded out the podium in third place, scoring 223.92 points. A Nerve-Wracking Victory She admitted to being nervous before her free skate, saying: โ€œI thought I was going to dieโ€ฆ My legs were shaking, I was very worried.โ€ She revealed that messages of support from her coaches, mother, and grandmother played a crucial role in helping her gather her strength. โ€œI think I prayed five times. When I went out on the ice, I thought I would relax, but I started to get more nervous. I looked at the audience, calmed down a bit, and after the triple Axel, I said to myself, โ€˜It turned out well, do it again,โ€™โ€ Petrosyan said. Her perseverance paid off as she delivered flawless performances in both programs, solidifying her status as one of the brightest talents in Russian figure skating. Expert Praise Petrosyan trains under the guidance of renowned Russian figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze, whose expertise has shaped numerous champions and further propelled Adeliaโ€™s promising career. Two-time Olympic champion and current coach Evgeni Plushenko praised Petrosyan, calling her the best in Russia while also acknowledging the unpredictability of womenโ€™s figure skating. Plushenko told RIA Novosti: โ€œAdelia skates very beautifully, and her technical component is also at a good level. Today she is undoubtedly the strongest figure skater in Russia, but when it comes to women, surprises cannot be ruled out.โ€ Gratitude and Triumph Following her victory, Petrosyan expressed gratitude to her coaches, parents, fans, and the Russian Figure Skating Federation for their unwavering support. โ€œIโ€™m extremely happy because Iโ€™ve achieved my goal,โ€ she said, adding that the win was a collective effort of everyone who stood by her side. The Road Ahead In related news, the International Skating Union (ISU) has announced that Russian figure skaters will be allowed to participate as neutrals in the 2026 Olympic Games selection process. This decision provides an opportunity for Petrosyan and her peers to showcase their talents on the global stage despite ongoing restrictions. As Petrosyan continues to break records and inspire with her resilience and skill, all eyes will be on her as she aims for even greater achievements in the years to come. #AdeliaPetrosyan #FigureSkating #RussianChampionship #TripleAxel

Tension and uncertainty among Russians are growing. In the spring of 2026, Russian polling agencies recorded a noticeable decline in several key indicators: approval of Putin's performance, trust in him, and the overall emotional mood. The most intriguing point was the closure of Russian Public Opinion Research Centerโ€™s (VCIOM) open trust rating: when respondents are asked to name politicians they trust without being prompted with names. In March 2026, this indicator for Putin fell to 29.5% - the lowest level since the start of the full-scale war. After that, VCIOM did not publish the figures for April and May. The gap between the open trust rating (29.5%) and the closed trust rating (72-73%) is roughly 1:2.5. It reflects the distance between Putin's actual political weight and the ritual of loyalty to the "tsar." The reason is simple: Russians do not want a loser president. Putin's ratings were sustained not simply by war, but by the prospect of a victorious war. He traded Russia's development and prosperity for greatness, but now Russians see neither greatness nor prosperity. Letโ€™s take a closer look at what is happening within Russian society. First, most Russians continue to support the war. This is illustrated by Levada Center's May data. Support for the actions of the Russian army, which had been declining since the end of last year, suddenly rebounded by six points in May, reaching 74%. At the same time, the share of those favoring peace negotiations, which had remained at around two-thirds since December, has been slowly shrinking for three consecutive months - down seven points, to six out of ten. Meanwhile, the camp supporting the continuation of military operations has grown to 30%. The main motive among supporters of peace has not changed: "too many casualties and heavy losses." What happened? Television stopped talking about peace negotiations. As long as negotiations seemed realistic, peace appeared to be a way out. Once they collapsed, part of Russian society obediently switched back to supporting the war. This is conformism. Russians do not want peace or war - they want to be on the side of the winner. The demand for negotiations was, in fact, a demand for a victorious peace. Since no victorious peace was granted, they have taken back the war. However, there is a dangerous trap here for the Kremlin: Russians agree to war, but not to a war without victory. They agree to anything except a compromise that would be perceived as defeat. This is dangerous for the Kremlin because it calls into question the legitimacy of the entire system of power - and Putin above all - if Russian society is no longer given proof of greatness and victory. Putin is doomed to constant escalation. The situation is further complicated by public fatigue and rising anxiety among Russians. The state of the Russian economy is deteriorating, while the defense sector is no longer able to offset the decline in the civilian economy. This is especially noticeable in the regions. By the end of 2025, the deficit of consolidated regional budgets had reached a record 1.48 trillion rubles ($20.56 billion) - 3.6 times more than a year earlier. Seventy-four regions, including Moscow and the oil and gas districts, ended up in deficit. The first months of 2026 did not reverse the trend: industry is stagnating, construction is shrinking, corporate profits are falling, and debt burdens are increasing. The accompanying symptoms include a sharp rise in wage arrears, large-scale revisions of regional budgets for 2026 involving spending cuts, primarily social, as well as a hidden employment crisis - where there is no work, but employees are not laid off; instead, they are shifted to reduced working weeks and unpaid leave. Official unemployment statistics barely reflect this. Yet since December 2025, part-time employment has been rising at large and medium-sized enterprises: 4.6 million out of 33 million workers. The map of Russian societyโ€™s concerns, which the Levada Center publishes annually, looks telling in May 2026. At the top - for twenty years in a row - is rising prices: 55%. The "special military operation" and related issues worry 35%. And then comes the most interesting part - the destruction of a comfortable life and the feeling of war at home have become additional drivers of tension: fear of explosions and terrorist attacks has jumped by 8 points since November - to 27%. One in five (22%) cites internet restrictions and the blocking of social media as among the most pressing issues - on the list of problems, the digital blockade now ranks alongside poverty and lack of access to healthcare (both at 19%). The state has managed to turn a disabled messenger app into a social problem on the level of poverty. That takes some doing. Many Western observers have been inspired by rumors of elite dissatisfaction in Russia. Indeed, Moscow's economic circles have seen unusually open criticism of the government from parts of the financial elite. However, I suggest we avoid wishful thinking: no direct scenario of a political crisis emerges from this data. The most realistic scenario is the continuation of the war, coupled with a search for political doping: events that can be sold to society as victories, as proof that Russia is moving in the right direction. The problem is that the bar has risen - what would have been considered a triumph a year ago would now look like capitulation. Therefore, stronger doses of doping will be required: escalation in Ukraine aimed at maximizing destruction, a military adventure somewhere in Europe, new strikes, nuclear signaling, or provocations against the West. The ground has already been prepared: 54% of Russians believe that the war in Ukraine could escalate into an armed conflict with NATO - half the population is living in anticipation of a major war. The Kremlinโ€™s logic is as old as time: unite through fear. Putin may also be saved by an "unexpected event" - a black swan, as has already happened when the U.S. started a war with Iran. Here, itโ€™s not even necessary to do anything: itโ€™s enough to interpret it skillfully. A U.S. defeat or stalemate in the war with Iran could be presented as a victory of Russia and its allies over America - because in the minds of Russians, the war with Ukraine has long been just a fragment of a larger Russian war with the West. Within this worldview, any failure by Washington automatically counts as a point for Moscow, regardless of whether it had a hand in it. There is also a third scenario - not for Putin, but against him. This is not a scenario of popular uprising, but one of self-preservation by the Russian elites. But such an option is possible only under a sharp convergence of several factors: military defeat, economic collapse, the loss of the ability to allocate resources, and the emergence of a figure or group capable of guaranteeing the eliteโ€™s security after the transition. So far, there are few such signs.

77 Reasons Why Iโ€™ve Invested Over $8,000,000+ in MultiversX (EGLD) and Why EGLD Will Crush It in 2025 (My Investment Thesis). I publicly shared my portfolio on X. EGLD is A) Better than BTC B) Everything that ETH wants to be C) The GameStop of Crypto 1. EGLD is verifiably the most scalable (theoretically unlimited) L1 chain in the world, theoretically capable of over 10 million TPS (thanks to adaptive state sharding). 2. e-Gold is digital gold. It has the best tokenomics among all L1s, similarly scarce to BTC, with a maximum supply of 31.4 million coins. Currently, 27.68 million coins are in circulation. 3. EGLD will be the most decentralized cryptocurrency in the world thanks to sharding and minimal hardware requirements for running nodes. Itโ€™s already second only to Ethereum with 3,618 validator nodes. 4. EGLD has extremely low fees, around ~$0.002 per transaction. 5. EGLD is extremely secure. No wallet drains like on ETH/SOL; assets are owned natively (not via a smart contract). There is no MEV risk (front-running bots). 6. EGLD is the only chain in the world with an on-chain Guardian (two-phase verification), making it impossible for a hacker to steal your fundsโ€”even if they have your private keys (seed phrase). 7. EGLD is carbon-neutral and eco-friendly, not wasting energy like BTC and other PoW chains. Itโ€™s exceptionally efficient, scalable, global, and sustainable. 8. EGLD has the best UX in crypto. Download the xPortal walletโ€”itโ€™s like discovering Apple in Web3. The interface is simple, flawless, and you barely realize youโ€™re using crypto. Instead of addresses, you use HeroTags. The app features all dApps, everything runs smoothly, and the visuals are beautifully designed. The explorer, web wallet, etc. follow the same high-quality user experience. 9. EGLD supports native assets, unlike Ethereum, for example. 10. EGLD is the first chain to fully implement horizontal (theoretically unlimited) sharding without compromising on decentralizationโ€”unlike Solana and others that attempt vertical scaling, leading to multiple network downtimes (11+ times) and huge hardware demands for validators, ultimately harming decentralization. 11. EGLD makes setting up a validator agency extremely easy. Even complete IT beginners can do it. The UX and documentation are superb. I personally set up the โ€œEGLDSqueezeโ€ agency in about 30 minutes. Managing it is straightforward via the web wallet, which feels like managing a Facebook page. This simplifies decentralization enormously. 12. EGLD allows literally anyone (even your grandma) to participate in decentralization, since nodes can run on a Raspberry Pi or a relatively affordable phone. Imagine millions of people worldwide securing the network, validating transactions without even knowing it. This canโ€™t be done with BTC, where setting up profitable mining operations is prohibitively expensive. 13. WASM-Based Virtual Machine: You can write smart contracts in your favorite language, compile them, and run them via the fastest VM in the world. 14. EGLD has been tested at an incredible 263,000 TPS using its sharding mechanism and low hardware requirements. Allegedly, by mid-next year (April), theyโ€™ll demonstrate 1,000,000 TPS. (For context: Mastercard handles around 5,000 TPS; BTC handles 5โ€“7 TPS.) 15. EGLD is currently the most advanced L1 in terms of scalability, security, decentralization, UX, eco-friendliness, and tokenomics. Itโ€™s the only chain that has genuinely solved the Blockchain Trilemma and is ready to onboard 1 billion people into cryptoโ€”users who wonโ€™t even realize theyโ€™re interacting with crypto. 16. EGLD is perfectly positioned for AI projectsโ€”AI agents, AI tools, or a so-called โ€œTruth Machineโ€ that monitors other AIs on-chain, documenting whatโ€™s true and comparing different AI outputs (some of which may be censored or biased), ensuring people donโ€™t get confused or scammed in an AI-driven world. 17. The EGLD team is the hardest-working team Iโ€™ve ever encountered. I had the honor of meeting many of them personally, and can attest that their paceโ€”even during a bear marketโ€”is extraordinary. 18. EGLDโ€™s development team is exceptionally active on GitHub, continually improving their network and actively committing code. 19. EGLD plans to introduce an update reducing block time to 600ms (down from ~6 seconds), which would make the chain essentially unrivaled. 20. EGLD is effectively the only usable L1 in Europe, and the team has direct connections within the EU governmentโ€”extremely bullish for the project. 21. EGLD provides top-tier on-chain governance not only for the MultiversX (EGLD) protocol but also for DeFi projects (e.g., xExchange, MEX). 22. EGLD plans to expand to the US, likely opening offices in Austin, Texas. This could put them in direct contact with Elon Musk (if it hasnโ€™t happened already), as heโ€™s involved with If heโ€™s done his research, heโ€™d discover thereโ€™s simply no better L1 worldwide. 23. EGLD solved fully implemented sharding, perfect tokenomics, and top-tier architecture with just $5M, whereas other chains failed to do so even with $100M+. The second-best sharding network, NEAR, needed $100M, has worse tokenomics, and its sharding isnโ€™t fully implemented yet. Its UX also doesnโ€™t compare. Owning NEAR was like comparing a VW Golf R to a Porsche GT3โ€”EGLD is the Porsche GT3. 24. According to Similarweb, EGLD has significantly high traffic relative to other chains with market caps 100x larger. The market cap vs. web traffic discrepancy is huge, which is a strong indicator of EGLDโ€™s potential. 25. EGLD has the most active and dedicated community relative to its user base, with users who believe in the technology, have full faith in the team, and remain loyal despite price volatilityโ€”because they use the chain and know thereโ€™s nothing better. 26. Check other chainsโ€™ active user counts on X (Twitter) and compare it with the followers of EGLDโ€™s founders and main network accounts, versus those with 30x, 50x, or 100x larger market caps. 27. Visit the MultiversX website to observe the futuristic design and presentation, then compare it to other chains that appear nearly a decade behind in design and branding. 28. EGLD hosts the xDay Global event, showcasing updates, new builders, projects in the ecosystem, and major announcementsโ€”similar to Appleโ€™s Keynotesโ€”delivered in a highly professional, goosebump-inducing atmosphere. The next event is in Korea, the second-biggest crypto market after the US. Check out their previous xDay after-movie to see why this is extremely bullish. 29. EGLD is moving forward with plans for the first regulated, audited EU stablecoin under MiCa regulation, made possible by acquiring xMoney, which I view as a โ€œStripeโ€ for crypto/fiat, offering everything from user solutions to merchant servicesโ€”potentially the future of payments. 30. Greg Siourouni recently joined EGLD, having been an executive director at SUI Foundation. Heโ€™s now co-founder of xMoney Global. xMoney (formerly UTrust, with token UTK) is owned and founded by the MultiversX Labs team. A stablecoin might be introduced soon, which would be massively bullish given xMoneyโ€™s roadmap. They recently announced integrations with Binance Payโ€”both ways. 31. EGLD prioritizes user safety, believing itโ€™s the only feasible approach once the network scales to serve a billion peopleโ€”many of whom are retail users with little to no security awareness. 32. EGLD offers โ€œSovereign Chains,โ€ letting you effectively clone their chain without heavy development, set up your own validators, and leverage their unlimited scalability. Any blockchain (ETH, BTC, SOL) struggling with scalability, decentralization, or security could run an ultra-fast, scalable, and secure L2 on EGLDโ€™s Sovereign Chain, meeting top enterprise requirements. No one else has really done this. The Sovereign Chain demo achieved astonishing TPS and has an SDK. 33. No downtime since inception. 34. No shard takeover attacks have occurred. 35. Extremely fastโ€”soon 600ms block time will be in place. 36. ESDTs โ€“ The best token standard available: fungible, non-fungible, semi-fungible, DeFi assetsโ€”everything is native and highly customizable. 37. Top-tier composability of assets and smart contracts. 38. Integrated DNS at protocol level with HeroTags (nicknames) instead of long addresses. 39. Asynchronous calls are supported. 40. Cross-shard transfers, execution, reverts, and calls are seamlessly integrated. 41. The best staking system in the space. Secure Proof of Stake (SPoS) is far more efficient than Proof of Work (PoW). 42. Built-in Delegation and Staking Provider system, with over 125K delegators. 43. Complete support for liquid staked assets, fostering decentralization rather than centralization. 44. TransferRoles for ESDT and other advanced operations. 45. Composable tasks on-chain for more sophisticated DeFi workflows. 46. MultiTransfer and asset execution within one transaction. 47. Re-entrancy protection is built-in by design. 48. Storage for ESDT assets goes beyond a linear approach, optimizing performance. 49. No integer overflows thanks to integrated safeMath operations. 50. Integrated crypto opcodes in the VM, enhancing security and performance. 51. Support for BigFloats, BigInts, and BigDecimals, enabling advanced financial calculations on-chain. 52. No sandwich attacks, plus front-running and MEV protection. 53. Relayed Transactions, simplifying user interactions and fees. 54. Smart Accounts featuring data tries and multiple built-in functions. 55. Generalized Paymaster solutions, enabling flexible fee models. 56. Subscriptions for recurring or automated on-chain payments. 57. Web2-like usability with Web3 functionality, bridging mainstream adoption. 58. StakingV4 for improved decentralization. 59. Enhanced MEV protection rolling out to safeguard users. 60. Parallel execution is coming soon, boosting throughput. 61. 1 million TPS is on the roadmap, targeted for demonstration. 62. 600ms block time is also coming soon. 63. Reduced cross-shard processing is planned to improve efficiency. 64. ZK everywhere (PIยฒ): โ€œprove everythingโ€ approach is coming. 65. AsyncV3 is in development for more complex cross-contract interactions. 66. Scalability enhancements for Merkle Tries or a new data model are being explored. 67. Linear storage on the VM is forthcoming. 68. A dynamic language interpreter at the VM is also planned. 69. Rumors suggest that MultiversX (EGLD) is building a โ€œTruth Machineโ€ on their L1โ€”an essential, game-changing tool for AI verification and societal impact. 70. The entire team features individuals with PhDs in mathematics and physics, and many are former engineers at Google, IBM, and similar companies. 71. Over 56% of the networkโ€™s supply is staked, showcasing strong community involvement. 72. More than 6,772,347 accounts have been created on the network. 73. A total of 476,627,710 transactions have been processed on-chain without any outages or hacks. 74. EGLD has built a massive ecosystem over time. While not as numerous in project count as Solana, its market cap is ~100x smaller, yet it has far superior tokenomics and technology. The projects that do exist, like Hatom Protocol, are top-tier in UX, security, and advanced features. Hatom will soon introduce USH, a truly high-quality, decentralized stablecoin. 75. On competing chains, automated transactions arenโ€™t easily or cheaply executed, whereas on MultiversX, tools like let you do this for free (with near-zero fees). 76. No other chain combines such a strong team and long-term vision where every product meets extreme security and UX standards like MultiversX does. This is why I see it as the โ€œnext Appleโ€ in Web3. 77. MultiversX has a new CMO โ€“ Adam Bates, a former CMO at the Cardano Foundation. He was behind the success of Cardanoโ€™s huge marketing campaign and has a very good relationship with Charles Hoskinson. Thanks to him, Beniamin Mincu (the founder of MultiversX) was likely introduced, and now they will probably discuss how both blockchains can help each other, as well as any other potential collaborations we donโ€™t yet know about. This is also extremely bullish. #EGLD is undeniably the most Scalable, Advanced, Secure, and User-friendly L1 supercomputer ever created. Itโ€™s built to SHAPE THE FUTURE. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 27/6/2024 - EGLDSqueeze - SUMMARY: HERE IS NO 2ND BEST. EGLD IS ONLY ONE BLOCKCHAIN THAT CAN RULE THEM ALL. โœ… UNLIMITED SCALING โœ… SCARCE AS BTC โœ… PROGRAMMABLE AS ETH โœ… NO DOWNTIME AS SOL โœ… UI/UX OF Apple โœ… SHARDING DONE BEFORE NEAR & TON โœ… BEST WALLET xPortal WITH GUARDIAN Price prediction (NFA|DYOR): My reasoning is that the real market cap as of December 23, 2024...if we take into account the value of other cryptocurrencies such as BTC, SOL, ETH, AVAX, NEAR, TON, Cardano, BNB, XRP, and so forth, plus the existence of meme coins with valuations above 20 billion USD, or even games nobody plays anymore that still have valuations above 800 million shows that EGLDโ€™s current market cap of approximately 942 million USD is incredibly low. From a technological standpoint, user experience, and other relevant aspects, compared to SOL, NEAR, TON, AVAX, and other L1 protocols, EGLDโ€™s market cap should realistically be around 100 billion USD. Therefore, my prediction and investment thesis is a minimum of a 100x increase from its current price (+-SOL marketcap). MultiversX is ready to onboard 1 billion people to the blockchain. From a long-term perspective, it could even reach a market cap of 1 trillion USD, which is roughly half of where BTC is right now. That would be approximately a 1060x gain from the current market cap. 1 EGLD (MultiversX) is for $34 (only 31.4M max supply) think about this. Not financial advice. Again. There is no 2nd best L1. Position yourself where the puck is going, then wait at the goal until the goal gets there Apes together, strong. Ape alone, weak. We Don't Worry. We Just Win. Shape The Future

Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 10:51 AM โ€” 9,565 Views โ€œNo one in Hollywood believes the $185 million number.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” July 9, 2025 โ€” 11:35 AM โ€” 7,470 Views โ€œThe $185 million figure is inflated. Varietyโ€™s October 2, 2024 article was likely updated after a publicist called on AEWโ€™s behalf, as early reports placed the deal between $140 and $150 million per year. Tony Khan was also included in Varietyโ€™s Dealmakers 2024 list, which, while not officially pay to play, strongly favors those spending significant advertising dollars with the outlet. No one in Hollywood seriously believes WBD, which is in junk bond status, is paying AEW $185 million per year. Clear enough?โ€ clear enough? the number was never clean. the number was never real in the way aew fans and wrestling media pretended it was real. and when the $185 million number started getting laughed out of adult rooms, the number magically became $178 million. that is where the shell game gets funny. because $178 million was not some sacred sourced number either. it was brandon thurston taking the median between $170 million, reported by sports business journal, and $185 million, reported by variety and others. that is literally what wrestlenomics said. Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œWhy use $178 million here for AEWโ€™s new deal when some outlets are reporting the average annual value is $185 million?โ€ Wrestlenomics โ€” October 4, 2024 โ€œI used $178 million here because it is simply the median of $170 million, as reported by Sports Business Journal, and $185 million, reported by Variety and others.โ€ there it is. arithmetic. not an all-cash rights fee. not a clean license number. not proof wbd valued aew like raw. not a finance-department document from warner bros. discovery. a midpoint between conflicting public reports. then wrestling media treated that midpoint like scripture because they needed the story to be โ€œaew is valued like raw,โ€ not โ€œaew pr inflated a number no serious person in hollywood believed.โ€ and by the way, $170 million was not the clean all-cash number either. that is the scam. float the number. repeat the number. launder the number. defend the number with people who do not understand the difference between cash rights fees, in-kind services, equity, marketing commitments, platform value, make-goods, ad inventory, and press release math. then when the number collapses, pretend the next number was always the number. that is not reporting. that is aew state news.

Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 482 Views โ€œI wasnโ€™t viewing the above in that context (TKO vs AEW counter programming), it was more of this is what Iโ€™m hearing after 2 weeks of big media deals rolling out (Skydance closing, South Park library moving) etc. Which have all been in the works for awhile.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 388 Views โ€œBut if you were to look at it from a counter programming perspective (and I donโ€™t think this was a factor in UFC deal) - there are only so many players for these big media rights deals. PARA is likely off the board (via TKO deal) & then what if they acquire WB in 2026/27?โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 535 Views โ€œYes, of course, that wouldnโ€™t mean the end for AEW. It would make navigating their media rights deal more challenging, I would guess. But this is a hypothetical scenario & I do not believe anyone is paying $7.7b for UFC or a $40b valuation for WB w/ how do we fuck AEW, either.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€œAnd hearing all weekend Paramount is still interested in WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 1.3K Views โ€œI think more interesting for what it could mean as the dominoes keep falling in terms of the still evolving landscape. The deals are massive & the number of major players at the top are shrinking as still big push for consolidation & scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 11, 2025 โ€” 12:11 PM โ€” 2,588 Views โ€œAnd Iโ€™d view AAA on Google/YouTube as directly competitive. It targets both the CMLL collab & the audience that used to watch AEW Dark on YouTube, & WWE is able to send well known stars to AAA events with an eye towards converting more of the younger, YouTube demo of viewers who donโ€™t watch streamers.โ€ again: august 11. not yesterday. not after dave meltzer tweeted a netflix prelim number. not after anyone had to retrofit the argument. the point was already there: the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, paramount was likely off the board for aew because of the tko deal, google / youtube was becoming directly competitive for the exact audience aew used to reach through dark, and the buyer universe was consolidating around deals much bigger than tony khanโ€™s feelings. this was not mysticism. this was not inside baseball for the sake of sounding smart. this was the board. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” August 24, 2025 โ€œThis isnโ€™t fair. I misread your question. AEW will exist but likely on the Discovery Global app (if it ever launches, I would bet that it doesnโ€™t) and it will continue to do consistent ratings. If Paramount/Skydance buys WBD in a yearโ€ฆโ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 4, 2025 โ€” 76 Views โ€œNo, thatโ€™s the WBD network division (cable, news, sports) that was already announced as being spun off under Discovery Global. The article youโ€™re citing is about them selling a minority equity stake in that unit to cut debt and boost valuation ahead of the 2026 split.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 3.6K Views โ€œThis is not just about Hollywood scale. It is the foundation of a conservative aligned media infrastructure. A Paramount/WBD merger would fold CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros IP into Ellisonโ€™s orbit under Trumpโ€™s regulatory umbrella.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 16, 2025 โ€” 11K Views โ€œWithin 48 hours of the rumor, WBD stock surged ~55% and Paramount Skydance rose ~24%. That market response itself boxed David Zaslav in; his board, Wall Street, and his own contract now expect movement.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 27, 2025 โ€” 12:16 PM โ€” 3,516 Views โ€œNah homie. Enjoy watching the show on YouTube after Ellison buys WBD and Ari who is advising Ellison and used to represent Trump and runs TKO makes the call.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” September 28, 2025 โ€” 174 Views โ€œI believe if and when Paramount acquires WBD, TKO will push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. The long knives are already out for competitors, and the rights deals have likely been spread around town precisely to keep rivals from signing with those streamers.โ€ none of that was random. paramount / skydance, ellison, ari, tko, wbd linear assets, youtube, aaa, the tko deal, the wbd split, the shrinking rights buyer universe โ€” all of it was one connected domestic rights architecture. that is why this conversation was always over the heads of the people screaming โ€œcopeโ€ in my replies. they were arguing like fans. i was reading the cap table. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œYes, I always believed Paramount would walk away with WBD. I was one of the first to talk about it on here, even if I wasnโ€™t the first to hear it. The Paramount Skydance acquisition closed on August 7. I posted this on August 11, about 1 month before the The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on September 12 that Paramount Skydance was preparing a bid for WBD.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œThe bid was always going to be hostile. We are only in this process because it was a hostile bid. Most people in Hollywood believed Ellison long coveted WB and Jack Warnerโ€™s chair. WB was not for sale when Skydance acquired Paramount, which is much smaller in scale.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 6, 2025 โ€” 3:07 PM โ€” 41.4K Views โ€œNearly everyone in town assumed an Ellison acquisition of WBD was inevitable until the Netflix bid shocked everyone. Signs were there for the last two weeks, which is also when I stopped posting about what might happen. Of course, its not over yet. Paramount still has paths to winning this acquisition. The one thing thatโ€™s for certain though is an Ellison-led acquisition of WBD is no longer inevitable.โ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 8, 2025 โ€œEND CREDITSโ€ space jam is a warner bros. movie. that was the joke. and the joke was the same thing i had been saying the whole time: paramount was winning the bid, for those who did not understand. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€” 4:30 PM โ€” 828 Views โ€œHere is another reference to it. So tell me how exactly is Paramount the better outcome for Daveโ€™s argument? Netflix doesnโ€™t touch the WBD linear assets. Gunnar keeps his SpinCo.โ€ Puck excerpt โ€” December 19, 2025 โ€œMany industry insiders are also skeptical about Paramountโ€™s seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for exclusive UFC rights in the U.S. Yes, it can be read as a signal that Ellison came to play. But some people see it more as Ari Emanuel having his way with the person to whom he is ostensibly an (unpaid) advisorโ€ฆโ€ that is the board. that is the relationship map. that is the thing wrestling media either does not understand or pretends not to understand, because understanding it means admitting the story is not โ€œaew has leverage.โ€ the story is that aew is sitting in the middle of a consolidating rights marketplace where the people with leverage are doing much bigger things than worrying about tony khanโ€™s feelings. Nick LoPiccolo โ€” January 21, 2026 โ€” 4:22 PM โ€” 870 Views โ€œi mean get ready to learn youtube buddyโ€ Nick LoPiccolo โ€” February 19, 2026 โ€” 2.8K Views โ€œParamount was always my bet to acquire Warner Bros.

we told tony khan as a courtesy so tony khan would have time to find a new home. and no, this has zero to do with paramount looming as an excuse. paramount did not even make its first hostile bid for wbd until september 11 or 12. that was after tony khan was already told there would not be a wbd renewal. so what did tony khan do? tony khan turned the truth into a wrestling angle. tony khan, or one of tony khanโ€™s minions, gets dave meltzer to drop a story assigning my claims and what i have been publicly posting about tony khan to โ€œhigh level wwe officials.โ€ why? because it gives tony khan a safer enemy. tony khan does not want the story to be the actual timeline. because the actual timeline is brutal. on february 28, i said youtube was not a real media rights model unless google was actually cutting the check and underwriting production. on april 30, i said wbd passed in august, the myaew app was not realistic, paramount was not real for aew, cw / roku was off the table, amazon and fox did not want aew, and the only distributor left that made sense was google / youtube. on july 9, i said no one in hollywood believed the $185 million number. on july 10, i said aew was not leverage. on august 11, i said the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, and google / youtube was becoming a directly competitive lane. on september 16, i said a paramount / wbd merger would fold cbs, cnn, hbo, and warner bros. ip into ellisonโ€™s orbit. on september 27, i said enjoy the show on youtube after ellison buys wbd. on september 28, i said if paramount acquires wbd, tko would push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. on december 6, i said paramount skydance was preparing a bid for wbd long before most people admitted the obvious. on february 19, i said paramount was always my bet to acquire warner bros. and on february 28, i said it in all caps: paramount is coming for wbd. aew will lose a tv deal. that is the part tony khan cannot answer directly, because the direct answer means admitting this was never โ€œwwe is scared of us.โ€ it was always the board closing. tony khan wants the story to be: why would wwe say this about us? that is the laundering operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a show with very little distribution answering a canned question about aew potentially having very little distribution. based on a planted story, from a planted messenger, with a rehearsed answer, after an roh show maybe 8-15k people watched. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says โ€œi donโ€™t know why wwe wouldโ€ฆโ€ tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the very thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. a canned and rehearsed answer at an roh media scrum about a planted dave meltzer story based on my very real and very public analysis of the media rights board. but make no mistake. tony khan was responding to my words. tony khan just laundered them through dave meltzer and assigned them to wwe / tko so tony khan could keep lying about it publicly without ever saying my name. and now, voila. dave meltzer is posting about youtube viewers and prelims. Dave Meltzer โ€” May 16, 2026 โ€œAt this moment there are 340,000 people watching prelims for Netflix on YouTube. Itโ€™s a good number.โ€ yes, dave meltzer. youtube can have good numbers. nobody said youtube cannot have good numbers. that was never the issue. the issue is whether youtube is being used as a funnel into a premium rights ecosystem or as a substitute because the premium rights ecosystem rejected you. that is the difference. that has always been the difference. netflix using youtube prelims as audience acquisition is not the same thing as aew trying to spin youtube as a media rights home because the real buyers are gone. ufc using youtube as a funnel is not the same thing as aew using youtube as a life raft. wwe sending stars to aaa on youtube to convert a younger demo is not the same thing as aew retreating to youtube after the traditional buyer board closes. and the fact that dave meltzer is now suddenly tweeting like the mayor of youtube is the punchline. because the same people who mocked the youtube outcome are now going to spend the next several months explaining why youtube is actually good. of course it can be good. for the right use case. for the right property. inside the right architecture. with the right check attached. but when you spend two years telling everyone you were valued like raw and your next stop is โ€œplease subscribe and smash that bell,โ€ maybe stop pretending this is victory formation? i told yโ€™all where this was going. the record is right there. iโ€™m still right. and tony and dave: you guys are see through translucent. thatโ€™s it for ye ๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค

โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ”ต PRESSER ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿšจโ€ผ๏ธ ๐ŸŽ™ Xabi Alonsoโ€™s Full Post-Brighton Press Conference ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Nine goals scored this week, five conceded and three wins. Did you enjoy today? ๐Ÿ˜… Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œIn the end, I enjoyed all the wins a lot. But again, there were different moments and different feelings. Ultimately, weโ€™re happy with the result. โ€œWe value this win a lot against a very good opponent โ€” one that has been tough for us in recent years. โ€œThere were moments when we did really well and other moments that showed this is still a process. Weโ€™re continuing to learn about ourselves and improve. Normally, itโ€™s easier to do that after a win.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: What can you tell us about Moisรฉs Caicedo? Was it the same problem or something new? ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿš‘ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œHopefully itโ€™s nothing serious. It wasnโ€™t something new and it wasnโ€™t worse than last time. He was cautious enough to stop and say that the feeling wasnโ€™t the best. โ€œWe need to assess him during the week.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Pedro Neto tapped the Chelsea badge after scoring. Can you guarantee heโ€™ll still be here after the transfer deadline? ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ‘€ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œYou know, in football, I donโ€™t guarantee anything about anyone. โ€œBut I was very happy with Pedro. He did really well and played with a lot of energy. Heโ€™s going to be very important for the team throughout the season because he has different, special qualities. โ€œHeโ€™s a threat one-v-one, attacks space very well and is strong and competitive. Iโ€™m happy he scored. He was very close to scoring another one. Iโ€™m very happy with Pedro.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Chelsea had only 25% possession today after 38% against Fulham. Is this the type of transitional Chelsea you want? ๐Ÿ“Š Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œNo. For me, every piece of data needs context. โ€œAfter 30 minutes, we were 3โ€“0 up. Probably from that moment, we played too much with the result instead of continuing to play. โ€œThe data isnโ€™t whatโ€™s important. What matters is how you play and what you can do better. My approach isnโ€™t to say, โ€˜Today we need 60% possession or 20%.โ€™ โ€œI never talk about those things. Itโ€™s about how we prepare and how we become more competitive. โ€œThere were different moments in the game. There were periods when we did really, really well and other moments when we could have done better.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: When you say Chelsea started โ€˜playing the resultโ€™ at 3โ€“0, was that complacency? ๐Ÿง  Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œNo. I would say itโ€™s quite normal. It happens with many teams. โ€œTeams that have worked together and played more games together usually have a better understanding of how to manage those moments. We are still in that process. โ€œIโ€™m sure that in the future weโ€™ll manage those situations better. Even at 3โ€“1 at half-time, I told the players: โ€˜Guys, a two-goal lead in the Premier League โ€” we still need to focus on playing, scoring goals and defending well.โ€™ โ€œAfterwards, we could have scored a fifth. Many things happened during the game.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Emiliano Martรญnez went straight into the starting XI. Did you have any concerns throwing him straight in? ๐Ÿงค๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œWith Emi, heโ€™s 34 years old and has experience from all around. โ€œI spoke with him yesterday. We talked about the game and about our team, and he felt ready. I donโ€™t have to tell him many things for him to perform. โ€œOf course, a goalkeeper always wants a clean sheet, but Iโ€™m happy with his first impact. He had only been in the building for 48 hours. โ€œNow weโ€™ll have the whole week to prepare for the next game. Day by day, weโ€™ll feel his presence because he has that charisma and aura to influence and establish a very positive connection with the rest of the team.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: And what happens with Robert Sรกnchez now that he wasnโ€™t in the squad? ๐Ÿ”„ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: The supplied transcript does not contain a separate answer addressing Sรกnchezโ€™s future.
