I wouldn't be so sure. Alfa Romeo car just simply cannot compete with the Mercedes.
Even under Lewis, Valtteri had - most of the time - the chance for a top5 classification. That may no longer happen and not because of the driver.
Well, you have a valid point. Driving skills are sometimes outrun by the car itself. And the quality of the car that Mercedes have, it will be quite hard to compete with an Alfa Romeo one, but not impossible. If Bottas makes nearly zero mistakes, then he would have a good chance of going places but other than that, it's gonna tough for Valterri Bottas.

Right now, it's a great step for him. Then.. it also depends on how long will Lewis stay in F1 (and at Mercedes). If that will be for (too) long, he may not allow George get where he deserves. And I expect the team rules be strongly enforced around Lewis for the win.
Yes, the same thing that happened to Bottas, might happen to Russell, getting shadowed by Lewis Hamilton. This could be one of the main reasons that Bottas left. And as it always was, even this season Mercedes could shape up around Lewis Hamilton making George Russell fall a bit behind. But let's see how that works out for them.

Monza is one of my favorites, the opposite of something like Monaco which is far too tight for F1 imo.   Monza is the fastest course in the whole year last I checked, highest average speed as said due to the frequency of long straights with corners that can be threaded at high speed quite often.   I used to play through the F1 season on a simulator made by a programmer who had first qualified in physics, done with excellence.   I even heard F1 drivers unable to gain any other practice time with a new course or change would use it rather then only view the course on paper which I can believe; no doubt teams have all sorts of tech nowadays.

Man that match was insane Cheesy. Winning with 1.2-second difference is something else. That match gave me goosebumps. Till the last second, it was hard to know who would win, and Monza is like a heavenly place for Mercedes. Mercedes excels at these types of straight tracks. Mercedes should be hoping to win in this one.

Dame-Ben pairing could be a solid one but again, team chemistry is key and the chemistry between Dame and CJ is really good. Also, there lies a doubt that whether the new player and the current players will have the chemistry that CJ and the team had. But yes, CJ is actually a more versatile player compared to Ben so asking for another player in the trade could be a fair deal.

Red Bull cancelled Albon’s contract and let him go to Williams.  And it had something to do with Merc...  They can’t allow to let a Red Bull driver drive a car with a Mercedes engine since Red Bull will be making their own engines.  I’m not sure about the exact details of his current contract.
Anyway..  Interesting pick by Williams.
Albon signing was big surprise. Well, he wasn't good enough for Red Bull, but he deserves second chance in F1 and I think it's good pick for Williams. And in general, it's good to see this team improving. Just remember where they were few years ago, they were slow as F2 car.
Also, it was confirmed that Kimi won't be able to race in Monza and he will be replaced by Kubia again. Sad for Kimi, but I happy to see Kubica - back in his prime he was one of my favourite drivers.

Yes I also heard that news but Williams announced that Alexander Albon would be joining them in the 2022 season. He will team up with Nicholas Latifi. Pretty eager to watch him race after he returns. I hope that his chemistry with Latifi turns out to be a good one.
1045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 08, 2021, 05:20:42 PM
Plant is trying to sell the fight that is why he is trash talking. His fight with Canelo is going up against a stacked UFC card so they need all the hype they can get. Plant isn't really a household name so it will be harder to convince people to buy this fight instead of the UFC event.
He doesn't need to sell the fight, since it has already attracted so much attention. That said, I really doubt whether the PPV buys this time will match the sales made back in 2017 and 2018, when Canelo took on Golovkin. Back then the expectation was for a close fight between two evenly matched boxers. But this time, a lot of people expect the match to be lop-sided and many assume that Caleb will not last the full 12 rounds. But for us, it is the gambling odds that matters. The odds can change drastically, since two months remain for the match (-1000 for Canelo right now). 

I think if he already has a lot of attention why doesn't seek some more right? And a promo is almost all about trash-talking,  obviously, we've seen some exceptions were to hype up a fight, almost no trash talking was needed. The fight will take place on 6th November 2021 & I wish all the very best to both fighters. Now for Canelo the key is how to make Plant tired.

Noise is growing louder that Cleveland is interested in the 25-year-old, with NBA reporter Marc Stein revealing on Wednesday that the Cavaliers are eyeing a potential trade.
I was actually thinking about this at the time they want to buyout Kevin Love. Ben Simmons is their target to be listed in their roster but they need more space to build a team around him.
To conclude, I don't think Ben will ever be back in Philly and I don't know how the fans will react but some sides of the story is not yet revealed.
The question is who will Cavaliers give for Simmons. They don't have that good players IIRC. Maybe Sexton might do plus a bunch of average players for Simmons or add another bench player.
Ben will not go back in Philly. Simmons don't like them and the fans and the management doesn't want him either. Now I'm thinking on how he will play when he is playing into another team already and they are in Philly. The fans might "boo" him and add some words that can hurt his morale and reputation.

Well, Kevin love doesn't seem interested in any kind of buyout right now. His agent Jeff schwartz said that he is not interested in negotiating a buyout right now as he has two years and $60 million left on his contract with Cleveland cavaliers.

Have you guys seen the latest news about Valterri Bottas? It seems that he will join Alfa Romeo this 2022 and his seat will be replaced by George Russel! This is actually some great news considering that the skills and technique of Bottas is somehow hampered and contained due to the influence of Hamilton. Now that he is in Alfa Romeo, he can actually race on his own without worrying too much about his teammate!
As for George Russel, though many have argued that he doesn't deserve the seat on Mercedes, I am still happy for him as he is now on a superior car. I just really hope that his seat in Mercedes won't be another Rosberg vs Hamilton feud where they both clashed as teammates.
Imho it's not that much a great news than a basically normal development. All I can say is "finally, end of drama".
I am not convinced that the development is that great for George Russel, but time will tell. He clearly deserves a good car and he has shown that he can do wonders in a Mercedes.. when Lewis was not there. Let's see how the things will go when Lewis is present, especially as lately he seems to be needing badly any help he can get against Max. Of course, that may be or may not be the same next year.
I am more curious who will fill the "missing spot" (left by Russel). Will it be Alex Albon or will it be somebody else? That part may be a bit complicated...

Bottas joining Alfa Romeo is a very good fresh start for him. His role in Mercedes was like the second man where he backed up Hamilton. In this way, his true potential was not uncovered. Now that he is no longer under the shadow of Hamilton, I am hoping that he would do really well next season. And about Russell taking his spot in Mercedes, whether that was a good decision or not we will see in the future. But till then, we are up for an exciting season up ahead.

There are still a lot of coaches who uses this kind of strategy. Lakers Coach Frank Vogel is a defensive type strategist and they won the bubble championship because of it. He maximized the strength of Dwight Howard, Rondo, Morris and Danny Green on the defensive end that's why they gain the upper hand against the Miami Heat.
I think with just the right players in their roster they could make the same performance as their championship year and it's already happening that's why they let go some players to balance their team again.
You can play as defensive as you want but at the end of the day we are not in 2004 anymore and almost everything is a foul. Sure you can play better defense compared to other teams, but without hand checking, without proper body defending, it is all getting offensive, and if you do not have a proper offense then your defense doesn't even matter.
Utah is a great defensive team, do you see them at anywhere near the top when talking about teams? Hell Clippers has 2 of the best perimeter defenders in the entire game and they always fail at playoffs. Long story short it is not about defense anymore, Lakers won a bit of thanks to their defense of course, but their offense was Lebron James and AD, can you say their offense wasn't amazing as well? You could basically improve to a point, but we will never have 2004 pistons level of defense in the league ever again.

There is a reason people say that,
Quote
'offence wins you games, but defense wins you trophies.'
A team with a good defense and a good defensive strategy will most of the time if not always have the upper hand in the long run. That's because defending is always more consistent than attacking. Same goes for Lakers and their coach. If they can hold onto that same strategy, I see that they will be a good contender for the title.

A jake name man says he lost millions through trading bitcoin to the BBC scotland. He says i lost everything in a single trade. It can be said addiction of trading but there many positive sides of marketing Bitcoin. I can't say it is addiction, it can make you lazy in other works of earning money.
He is totally certified bitcoin addict. But i guess you will gain in BTC if you trade at the right timing, right decision and do not sell when you will only get some losses with your investment.

People can lose their wealth foolishness due to lack of knowledge. There is nothing of addiction. If that person lost his everything by investing in shit coin doing online trading then he is not skilled enough in this section. Before investing in the Crypto market he should learn first how the Crypto market actually works. Bitcoin is bullish and now came to $65K from $0 but still, you will find bunches of people who lost their everything by investing in Bitcoin, so you can't say they are addicts, but they are foolish enough and don't know how the market work.

Are you a fan of tautology? ~Btw, "Dynamo" Kiev, got into one of the toughest groups, while "Shakhtar" Donetsk was more fortunate because in their group they have no one to fear (Lukaku moved to Chelsea and Real is not the same as it was before). And then .... Messi against Guardiola, Villarreal again against Manchester United (and again the game will end in a draw) in general, we will have an exciting marathon. Shocked

Lol, Do you want to take away my freedom of speech, the last thing I have obtained from the democratic world? Tongue
Btw, I am waiting for Messi's match against Guardiola. You know, the good relationship between Messi and Guardiola. While there are many more star players at PSG, but still we don’t know how well they are able to perform together. On the other hand, Manchester City is a very strong team. Maybe a very competitive match is going to be held.
You know, the old memories of Barcelona against Bayern Munich are not pleasant. Barcelona lost the last match against Bayern 8-2. My guess is that Bayern Munich will be able to beat Barcelona in the next match as well.

Bangladesh does not have any player to replace Tamim Iqbal. In the last few series, Bangladesh has performed remarkably and won. But the failure of every top-order batsmen we have seen in every series. None of the top order batsmen are able to perform regularly. If Tamim does not play in the next World Cup, it is bad news for the Bangladesh team.
Tamim has already announced that he will not play t20 world cup. It seems to be an angry move as most of the Bangladeshi people have questioned his performance including me back in the day. But this is also true that we can't find anyone playing better than him even although the last series and current series against NZ can't prove anything as the pitch is quite terrible to play. It's favoring bowler all the time.

I think Tamim Iqbal has made this decision cause he is angry. BCB has a lot of talented players. But they are not as experienced as opening batting on a platform like the World Cup. Maybe Tamim Iqbal will change his mind. That is what I hope.

Honestly Monaco will have a lot of troubles in the group stage of Europe league. With both Real Sociedad and PSV it will be extremly hard for them to go into the next stage. Leverkusen on the other hand has amazing chances of going to the next stage with their group not really hard but not easy as well.
It will be really difficult for Monaco to cross the group stage and go to the next round. PSV and Real Sociedad are good teams. However, Monaco is not a weak team. They often perform better than expected. But it will be difficult to predict which team will qualify to the next round.
All are about the same level. Monaco is a strong team, and in principle they can get out of the group, for me they are still the favorites. In PSV I somehow do not believe, they are, in my opinion, one of the weakest in this group. By the way, do not forget that the second place will play for playoffs with the 3rd place from the Champions League group.
I don’t think we should rule out Monaco so early, because for me they’re a surprise package and they can stun other teams to progress ahead. Also I believe Real Sociedad has the best chance of topping the group, but I’m not sure PSV can make it just a hunch so do your own research before wagering on my hunch.

In my opinion, Monaco, Real Sociedad, and PSV Eindhoven are teams in almost the same category. Maybe we can call the Real Sociedad team better, but none of these three teams have the consistency of performance. So we can't say for sure which team will advance to the next round.

For players like Messi, the language barrier is definitely not a Barrier. Even if he does not know English, which I doubt ... then his colossal playing experience will help him in following the coaching instructions. But even this is not the main thing, since he already felt the atmosphere of the locker room, and the warm welcome that the whole Paris organized for him, (not to mention the fact that some of the PSG players speak Spanish).

I don't think language will cause too much trouble for Messi. Maybe talking to other players can be a bit of a problem. But it will not cause any problems on the field. There are also players like Neymar, Di Maria, and Icardi to help him.

Didn't learn anything new from this particular documentary since I am aware of everything that they presented though they skipped out on many critical points as some of the posters above mentioned. Good effort regardless.
Some people are unfairly criticizing this documentary though forgetting the fact that this is a mini documentary.
Yes, it's a very short documentary and he skipped everything, just talked about some glorious events but skipped most of the major part of strategy like-Bitcoin ban & acceptance by Govt, Bank & Institution.
He gave some weak reasons for bitcoin's pump & down, I can't agree with that, he said TESLA pushed the price to 45K but I totally disagreed with that. "TESLA, Inc." accepted Bitcoin as a payment medium to promote their own business, and Already they have made huge gains and profits by using the name of Bitcoin.

Lol. I guess you meant 2014 here since 2914 is far, far away.
Yes, that's stated on the video too, just a typo mistake. Already corrected.

The Bangladesh team has yet to find an experienced and talented opener batsman. They need talented and experienced opener batsmen to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Sadly[1], Tamim said he will not be playing the t20 world cup. He himself have informed this to the board. Instead, he said to look for new faces for the sake of the future team combination.
[1]- I said this sadly because there's no one who have perfectly replaced Tamim Iqbal. I was also opposing Tamim because he was also not a perfect one for opening but it seems there's no one better than him.

Bangladesh does not have any player to replace Tamim Iqbal. In the last few series, Bangladesh has performed remarkably and won. But the failure of every top-order batsmen we have seen in every series. None of the top order batsmen are able to perform regularly.

I guy from China contacted me and offered to send money to my PayPal and I will send them Bitcoins in exchange.He was selling sports clothing and equipment,which was manufactured in China.
Everything seemed really sketchy,so I refused.The idea of getting paid via a refundable payment method like PayPal and sending him non-refundable Bitcoins seemed really suspicious.
I don't remember what kind of commission he was offering to me.

Did he want to make an upfront payment or he asked you to send him first? A random guy can't offer like this way, maybe that guy following your activity some days/months and confirmed that you are a bitcoiners. Most often they are used social media platforms to catch new fish. You are blessed that you could refuse him but not everyone can do that, Most of the time new comers are fallen into this kind of scam. The scammer offers a lucrative interest and People are attracted to that and fall prey to the trap.

Benfica started their season very well. They have won all the first 4 matches. On the other hand, their two main opponents FC Porto and Sporting CP have both won 3 matches and drawn one. It looks like Benfica will do their best to win the title this season. I think Porto or Benfica will win the title this season.
It is too early to predict which team will win the title but indeed, for all three these teams remain the best in the Portuguese League and they started the season equally well. So, in my view these three teams still have a great chance of winning the title and because of that too, I personally still can't put my vote in the polls. Even though Benfica in these 4 matches got a win but still, in the last match yesterday Benfica still couldn't get a clean sheet at home. Therefore, I think Benfica still has a side that the opponent can use to turn it into a goal, which means that Benfica's dominance still has the potential to be broken.

Yeah, I know it's not right to predict so fast. It's too fast. But still Benfica and Porto seem to be more stable and strong than my other team. We hope to be able to win a title between these two teams. By observing some more matches in the future, one can guess which team is stronger.
