1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 19, 2024, 09:59:23 PM
I think there is a surprise team every year in the German league. Last season Stuttgart won more points than expected. Heidenheim seems to have had a good season. It is difficult to predict what will happen in the German league next season. For me, the fight between Leverkusen and Bayern makes me curious. I'm sure there will be a similar fight in Dortmund.
Last season it was not just Stuttgart and Heidenheim, Leverkusen should be included because as at the beginning of the season, no one expected them to win the title until they had consistency in their match results.
Last two season it was Union Berlin who narrowly escape relegation in this just concluded season; I hope we see another team again next season to have such performance as Stuttgart.
Bayern Munich and Leverkusen’s debate on who to win the League is still on and it is something we can’t conclude until we see Kompany’s effort in the beginning of next season.

Any country that is playing against Germany is playing against many factors. 1. You need to play against Germany as a team;
2. You play against Germany as a nation
3. That idea of the German machines will still be there
4. The factor of players like Musiala is also there
So, it is natural that you can miss chances when playing with a big name. So I do not totally blame the Hungarians.
I believe you, but not just Jamal Musiala but the entire German players because they almost have equal right when it comes to perfect performance sometimes. Since the beginning of this tournament, the performances of their respective players in their first match was a wonderful one, all the players played well and they get their desired result.

After today’s match, I am adding Germany national team to my favorite to win this tournament; my favorites used to England and Belgium, but I am now adding the host country Germany because I have seen some signs that they will go far in the tournament and they might win it because they have almost secured their next round spot.

Joselu rarely found his place in Real Madrid's starting XI, but Real Madrid never wanted to lose this player from their club. The big reason behind this is that if any player in their original XI is injured, then Real Madrid will close their eyes and give this player a chance in his place. Joselu may stay at Real Madrid for one more season for sure, but there is another thing here that he will not get a place in the regular eleven next season, he can be seen on the field as a changed player. With Mbappe joining Real Madrid, there is no doubt he will play regularly, so Joselu may have to spend next season on the bench.
His quality is not qualified to be a starting player in the Real Madrid squad because he is not a world-class player, he is just there in the team to come in as a super sub whenever they are in need of goal or when any of their wingers get injured. I am expecting him to leave Madrid this time because Mbappe just joined them and Ancelotti will definitely use both Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Mbappe in the front line, he(Joselo) will not have enough playing time in the team

When every team finishes a season and plans for a new season, everyone hopes that they will do well in the next season. Every team that plays in the Champions League tries to make the team with their maximum. Maybe big teams and other teams are not successful in integrating players because they have many problems in this regard. There are some teams that have financial problems but have the will but not the means and there are some teams that have a good amount of players but no quality manager at their club. However, the upcoming season will be more competitive but we expect it because when the competition is tough, the excitement of the game reaches its peak.
This just past season has fought some teams lesson especially Arsenal for thinking that lack of striker and some inexperienced players will not affect them in the Champions League; although they tried but their effort was not counted because people expected them to do better that even though it was Bayern Munich that eliminated them through a tough encounter.

Next season will be another interesting Champions League season because we will have Bayer Leverkusen that finished the Bundesliga season unbeaten, we will have a well composed Manchester City, and an Arsenal with a striker follow by Inter Milan and other teams that would have strengthened their squad in the transfer window all to face a Madrid with Mbappe and other deadly wingers. I can’t wait to see next season because it will
Be nice.

Sevilla who have been a very great team when playing in the European League, of course surprised all of us with what happened to them this season, Sevilla this season was not able to show their best performance in the Champions League and also La Liga, so they were unable to end the season in the Europa League this season in the La Liga standings,  Sevilla will miss next season in European competitions and of course it will be quite sad for those who have been a team that has performed quite well when playing in the Europa League.
Sevilla team need a serious restructuring because their last season’s performance is not impressive at all, they played very bad in all competitions last season and they missed out in any European competitions of next season including the Europa Conference League. They won just ten matches last season and lost seventeen which has been a very bad performance for the Europa League giants. I think the team need to bring out money to sign players and let some old players go.

Quote
The number of European trophies currently owned by Sevilla is of course proof of how tough they have been so far, but their performance that has suddenly dropped drastically is of course quite surprising for us at this time, because indeed so far Sevilla has been able to maintain their performance and so far we know that they are a team that is indeed quite stable and does not have problems that are able to make their performance decrease.
Sevilla is a prominent team in the Spanish Laliga side, they are the fourth or fifth team you will mention when listing the best teams in the Laliga after Barcelona and Real Madrid. They use to make it to either Champions League or Europa league every season, but now they missed out due to poor form. I am blaming the coach for not putting too much effort to maintain the team’s standard.

It was quite interesting to see the match between Turkey and Georgia because both teams were equally determined to win and this match ran at a fairly fast tempo. Turkey appeared slightly dominant compared to Georgia and they had a better rhythm, but Georgia seemed to have a quite promising counterattack, which several times seemed quite troublesome for Turkey's defense. I guess this match will end in a draw.
It was an interesting match to watch, both of them are very serious and wanted to win the match because their performances shows it and they both wants to use the advantage to top
The group because they knew that they are the two teams that are considered least in the group, therefore, they both wants the three points before Portugal and Czech Republic match.

Their performance showed that the two remaining teams that people were considering as favorites to qualify in the group need to be serious because they can also lose against any of these teams; and that’s the nature of football.

I agree with you. Arsenal is now one of the elite teams in the English league and they are the favorites to win the English league next season. Unfortunately they have failed in two seasons and this has really disappointed fans. I don't think Arteta needs to make many changes next season. They just need to play consistently and form a good player mentality. I also hope they will be able to win the English league because currently they have the best squad in the last few seasons.
Due to how well they perform last two seasons, Arsenal is now consider among the top three teams in the English Premier League, and they are among the favorites to win the league after Manchester City.
Arteta and the management don’t need to do much because they still have quality players that can still perform for more than two years to come. In terms of midfield, they only need squad depth, same as defense; they just need to add left back that can be supporting Zinchenko, Tomiyasu and Timber, while they are comfortable with the two right backs Timber and White and their able strong and reliable central defenders Saliba and Gebriel.

The only challenge now is strikers, they need to replace Nketiah and Jesus because lack of striker cost them a lot last season.

Diego Simeone has been managing Athletico Madrid for nearly 700 or so games if I am not wrong, which is quite a lot and something we do not see that often anymore, because most teams just change their managers like they are changing a sock so we do not get to see this many teams with the same manager all that often.

I think Atalanta had the same thing as well and they have seen the results of that too. In the end, I believe that we are going to end up with something different eventually, because Diego Simeone can't keep on managing Athletico Madrid for another 10 seasons, eventually something will change. Plus he is the highest paid manager in the world, that will not be fine with the team eventually, they may one day say lets fire him, get someone cheaper and use that money to get better players.
I have been expecting Diego Simone to retire or leave Atletico Madrid, but the management seems well satisfied with his service and decides to leave him despite spending so many years in the club without Champions League trophy or Laliga. The team is not tough as they used to be, they qualified for another Champions League again but always failed along the line, to me, he is like Arsene Wenger of Arsenal that year but Wenger developed Arsenal with his economy knowledge and help the team to accumulate some money to get their stadium and made the name they have today; even though he also didn’t win the Champions League, he happens to be the only manager in the history of Premier League to win the League unbeaten.
For the betterment of Atletico Madrid, Semione should be replaced with young manager with good coaching skills.

The Euro's seem to have taken a twist ever since it was goals galore for the opening games for teams like Germany, Spain etc...just today Group E has already recorded some serious upsets which saw Ukraine fall to Romania 3nil, and another game which very few of us saw coming was Belgium losing to win Slovakia despite the fire power at their disposal...am expecting some serious fireworks in matchday 2 has teams try to get their first 3 points or secure their group stage pass... otherwise so far I don't see a clear favourite but like how France is playing at the moment.
I am liking the way this competition is going, because at this moment, there is still no clear favorites to win the tournament because the France some people are hoping on just managed to escape draw against Austria, they are very lucky for the own goal because Austria was very good and they look prepared for the match because they dominated the match and recorded more ball possession and tried to mount equal pressure with France because they have the same number of attempts on goals.

Another surprising result was the Belgium match against Slovakia. Belgium who happen to be among the top teams with highest number of experienced players lost their first group stage match, I think their chances are not as before because their group looks easy, but with this performance they need to win their next matches.

Things dont work that way guy, just becuase Klopp has left the team doesnt mean some players will have to leave the team immediately. It is the new coach to choose which player he will keep for the season and any playr that does not ift his standard he will let go as well. If any player decide to leave the team then it is their choice but i have never seen a situation where a player tries to leave a team when he is not due or the team dont want him anymore.

Most fans dont undertand these things, that Klopp leaving Lierpool doesnt mean the downfall of the team. They do not expect him to stay with the team for the rest of his life. Changes must come and the changes starts now. Who knows this knew coach is going do wonders for the team.
I didn’t said that if he left, the club will fall. I am saying what I analyzed based on what has been happening to several teams. Liverpool is a team that have players that are about to leave since last season, and some of these players didn’t have enough active contract at hand and I am not sure some of them will renew their contracts.
Some of the players will definitely leave the team, and most of them will be important players that the club depend on.
Slot might make it in his first season, but he will face a lot of challenges because he have to employ his strategies to the players with will look new to some of them, and he have to get used to the Premier League style of play.

I really didn't like what I saw from Liverpool last season. They gave up on the Premier League title so early. I wouldn't expect to see that in Klopp's goodbye season at least. (:
Now they are facing the danger of losing skilled players this summer and they have a new manager at the same time. It is like a fresh start after all those seasons with Klopp. I'm really curious about what kind of Liverpool we will see. I hope to see them back in the title race but for now I don't have any reason to trust Arne Slot for that. He will need to prove himself here first and it might even take some quite much time.

Even Klopp wasn't amazing in his first times.  Smiley

I think, Liverpool managements need to replace their manager in this season so that what happened last season will not repeat itself again, because Liverpool have the opportunity to win the premier league title but they started experiencing some challenges that made them to draw down to third position. If Liverpool players can still remain in the team in this season, I think it will be easy for their new manager to get it right to improve the team, because their players are still good in premier League competition. Liverpool will going to improve through their new manager because he is a talented manager and skillful in football, but anything that will make their strikers to leave the team to another team in this season, it will be difficult for Liverpool to dominate in this season.
The team will have to suffer the loss for one times because some players that are important to the team will leave as Klopp is also leaving and also some the new coach will have his own tactics that will require the management to sign some players for the coach which clearly show that some players will have to leave in that aspect, and if the players he signed are not from Premier League teams, they will also need to adapt to the Premier League style of play before they can be stable.

I am very sure Liverpool will missed out of the title race next season because it will be a difficult work for Arne Slot the new Liverpool manager because they will also be playing in the Champions League and some local leagues like FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

The UEFA Champions League final is for the big boys and for strong clubs that have become the main winnings, usually settled with strong tactics. Bayer Leverkusen was considered untouchable not until they got thrashed by Atalanta in the Europa League final. This was absolutely a positive result and we know how determined they were during the competitive form they developed.

The final is for big teams that are very good in the field and also lucky to win their matches. Sometimes, it is not the best teams in the tournament that do emerges as finalist, because some of them might be marge in either semi of quarter finals which we have seen in the just concluded Champions League where Manchester City and Madrid that are considered the best teams and the favorites in the tournament were merged in the Quarter final and one was eliminated; while some teams will just be lucky by draws as they will be merged with teams they can easily defeat and get to finals.

I agree with you on that, because Mbappé can arrive in a very capricious way to a Madrid where basically he can't and shouldn't do things the way he wants, Madrid is not PSG and that was one of the reasons why they didn't want Mbappé to come to Madrid and I think that here the one who is going to make the difference without a doubt is going to be Ancelotti, because above all he is a gentleman who must be respected, everyone at Madrid respects him and knows that he is more than a coach, he is like a father to them, when he found out that Kross was leaving, Carletto cried, so Ancelotti is more than a coach to them, that's why I don't think that Mbappé will arrive with that emphasis of wanting to do whatever he wants.

I think Mbappe will be a player with discipline in Madrid because it is his dream team, he will do his best to make histories and brake records in Madrid so that his name will always be remembered in the history Madrid just as other big players that has contributed positively to the team.

Zero risk. Do you think it’s possible to be worse than 8th place? Even if so, there is virtually no difference between 8th-9th-10th place. Your words about Ten Hag made me think that it would be good for him to coach young players, youth teams. He is not suitable for working with professionals because he is not at all flexible in terms of human relationships. He has too many conflicts, and even taking into account the fact that not all of them become open (as in the case of Ronaldo, Sancho), this does not mean that the players do not harbor anger towards him and, because of this, do not work to the fullest.
Ten Hag is yet to satisfy Manchester United fans because the team is still performing below expectations.

Winning two FA Cup titles in his first two season is a great achievement for him personally, but for team like Manchester United that is a big team, it is not satisfying because he need to compete with the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. I think Ten Hag needs to do more next season since he is given another chance; but if he fails, he should definitely be sacked.

His personal relationship with players also need to be improved because his actions towards some players contributes to the current situation of the club.

We are not in a world like 2016 though, we are in a world where money is much more important. Don't get me wrong, money was always a big thing in football but it wasn't the only thing and there were other stuff that could have beaten a team with money.

These days money is very important, of course it is still not the only thing, City is not the team that spent the most money for example and yet they won four in a row, which shows you that there are more important things than just money, and yet City is still a super wealthy team which means that if you have money that doesn't guarantee you a win, but if you do not have money then it guarantees you that you will lose. So new teams will not do that well ever again, that was a one time thing.
You are right because when Manchester City was not owned by the Arab, the team was not a top team because they were a team that any other team can defeat back then in the Premier League, but when people with money buy and handled the team, we see several changes in the team because they used money to buy players, and they used money to get Pep Guardiola who came to the team because they have the money to spent to buy more players and at the end they succeeded.

In the case of Chelsea, the money is not yet useful because the team is yet to get balance since they changed ownership, and they have been spending the money to sign experience and expensive players, yet, they are not performing well. With the players they have signed so far and the new coach, I hope they recover soon and become a good team they used to be.

Germany was able to breakthrough Scotland defense on the 20th minutes to get an early goal by Wirtz. He was also the player who scored against France in the friendly match 7 seconds after the match started.

Germany has never lost any opening game and Wirtz is the youngest German to ever score an opening goal. Germans  are still dominating the match and started the match by attacking Scotland which led to an early goal.

Oops.. The German machines have doubled the goal on the 19th minutes with a brilliant finish by Musiala. Two goals in 19 minutes.

Germany 2-0 Scotland.
German team is a promising team that comprises of both young players and some experienced players to guide the team; and their performances so far is a top notch performance because they have delivered two goals in the first 20 minutes.

The young German midfielder Florian Wirtz is having a good game and Jamal Musiala as well, Kai Havertz is also having a good game because he has recorded an assist in the opening game.

Germany might score more than four goals in this match because their performance is almost perfect and they are hungry for goals.

What is the future of Bitcoin?

We know where it was in 2009, where it is now (2024), but where is it going?

Will it make everyone free? Will it be regulated and become government controlled?
All normal and crazy theories please  Grin
No one knows where it is going, but we have good hopes that it will go very far and become a global currency that will give us fredom and defeat centralized authorities like Banks and others.

I don't see government taking control over it because of the features it entails and I am very sure government of some countries that are trying to regulate it due to their selfish interest will realize and be defeated by the general public.

Should quitting be an option as a crypto trader with years of experience who just encountered a massive loss because of a few shady characters?
I am not a professional trader, but I do trade sometime if I have conviction about a particular coin, but I don't know the right interpretation of the shady character you are referring to;

is it trading all newly lunched project?

If yes, I don't think it should be the reason you should quit if you really have passion for crypto trading.
But if you don't have enough capital to continue, it's fine because no one will advice you to borrow money for trading.

What can you say about this two problems, how will you advice a trader that is suffering from any of this problems or how did you get out of the problem if you had suffered from having lack of capital or lack of knowledge. Which of this problem is more common among traders?.
The two problems are problems that can have solution.

If you are having financial issues, then you should look for way to work physically or online to earn money so that you can continue or start your trading journey since you have the knowledge and have some experience on how to manage your wealth and succeed in trading to make profit form it.
While if you have capital and lack knowledge on how to make it through trading, it is simple; just quit trading for a while and focus on learning, you should learn about trading from different sources first and if possible have a demo account, practices and make sure you are good to go before you continue, so as not to keep losing your money due to lack of knowledge.

You can never achieve success in anything not just in trading without knowledge, that is why it is good to learn first before starting your journey.

Apart from still having to be careful with certain altcoins or shitcoins, at least the evidence we can see through Bitcoin can be a special reference for everyone to have more confidence in Bitcoin than any other altcoin. I also do not deny that crypto users in the past and present have had unpleasant experiences with certain altcoins which may have been caused by the decline in their own value in the market that occurred in altcoins. Because I have also experienced things like that myself in the past, although I also took advantage and got out at the right time before bigger losses occurred.
Mostly greed causes all these because I have the believe that everybody that is new in crypto space was either influenced by someone that has been doing well through crypto investment or been introduced by someone; and anyone that introduces you should have some little guide to you which I am sure is the first step must of are taking before knowing everything about it; if e have made mistake from the first step, we have to take it and move on.
Likewise, greed of making big profit is also there; some of us wants to win big, they will think Bitcoin will not give them high profit since they have heard of people's testimony on how they made it big through shitcoins investment, not knowing that it will not last and if you are not even lucky to be among the early investors, then you can lose all your money because not all project are legit.
