In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Jesse Lingard pursuing a career in the Arab League because there perhaps his skills can be honed well, especially by Steven Gerrard. For this season, Arab clubs are focusing a lot on attracting European players, but if it is Al-Ettifaq class, bringing in Lingard will not be as easy as other Arab clubs that have to compete. Remembering that when Steven Gerrard was interested in his abilities, maybe there was potential he wanted to explore in Lingard.

Lingard has spent all his life in England both national and clubs yet not a single Premier League nor Champions League he has ever won, and he has only been a supportive in the last 5 years, even in his last transfer to Nottingham Forest, not a single goal was scored by him. I don't think there is nothing left for him in England, he will push for Saudi Arabia by January when their own transfer market start, Lingard will prefer to have some paycheck from Al-ettifaq than retire in his 30.



Jesse Lingard had shown a lot of promise in his career. But he was never able to live up to the expectation. At least that's what I think. And I also believe that it is not going to be bad for him to perceive a career in the Arab league. At least he will be valuable to his club and everyone is not going to shit on him. And let's remember that he is 30 years old. So he is not also too old to be honest. Especially not too old to play in the Arab league. So I think he's going to have a good performance going there.

Australia team's David Warner and Mitchell Marsh these two batsmen have done a great performance in today's match. I didn't like the performance of the rest of the Australia team's batsmen. David Warner scored 163 runs from 124 balls. Mitchell Marsh scored 121 runs from 108 balls. But the runs that Australia team scored in today's match  It will be very difficult for Pakistan team to win by exceeding this target. Pakistan team has performed poorly in the bowling line in today's match.

Australia lost their third wicket in the 27th over. Captain Babar Azam returned to the dressing room with just 18 runs. If Babar Azam was at the crease, Pakistan  would have won. But now I don't think Pakistan can  win anymore. Although Rizwan is still at the crease. However, I have no confidence in the performance of Pakistan's middle order players. Their performance is  very erratic. Pakistan team can't collect 200 runs yet. After Babar is out, their performance will slow down a bit  more in the next few overs. After 28 overs, Pakistan collected 181 runs from 132 balls, the team still needs 187 runs. If the batsmen can't bat at a good strike rate  then they won't be able to win this match from now on. They now need around 8.5 runs per over to win.

We have to imagine some life mystery as we are living, have you asked yourself of investment profit and investment loss. The mystery is behind the both when it occurs. Right now I'm thinking to myself of my investment and if only investment i have is bitcoin, and when I'm no more who will manage my bitcoin investment and how will my family know about my bitcoin investment, when  I was ill, I was asking myself series of questions in my mind.

> should I show my family my seed phrase ?
> If I die who will take over my bitcoin since nobody knows my seed phrase?
So I'm asking if it will be good to show any of your family person your seed phrase or should we keep having the secret of your seed phrase personal.
It's a tricky question because it all depends on your relationship with your family, and only you know that. In general you should know whether someone has money problem, how they manage their finances, if they have debts, etc etc. Also, very important, they must be pretty good with technology and you need to make sure they understand that the seed phrase can't never be shown/told anyone.

I don't think someone needs to be tech-savvy to hold bitcoin or our seed phrase. Just teach them the basics and talk about the importance of seed phrases, and I'm sure they'll keep them the same way you keep them. It is important that when giving the seed phrase to a loved one, we emphasize its importance and how to keep it safe, we do not need to worry too much about the rest. Like my mother, she has kept her assets such as jewelry and other assets for many years without anyone knowing, so I also feel completely secure in entrusting my seed phrase to her.

How about you guys, did you earn your first Bitcoin through services here on this forum? Are you mining or you bought it as well? Which crypto came to you first, is it Bitcoin or Altcoins? What are your Bitcoin source at the moment if you don't mind me asking?
I never experience to own 1 Bitcoin yet. Because even i'm an investor for years already, there are times I had to sell due to specific reason, that's why. Although I have some in my wallet, it's just a fraction of what I accumulate through buying using a portion of my salary from my day job and the earnings through signature campaign.

I became aware of Bitcoin first before knowing the existence of alts. That being said, I started with Bitcoin before trying to invest in alts. Nevertheless, it is profitable to engage ourselves in Bitcoin or crypto in general but much better to have other sources to earn. This way, you don't have to rely solely on your crypto earnings.

Owning 1BTC these days is not easy because its value has become very large. I still haven't accumulated 1 BTC and I'm also curious, how many people on our forum own more than 1 BTC?

No matter how good investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrency is and how big the profits are, because it is unstable, never depend completely or only on it. We need to have a main job with a stable income to be able to maintain a life. Furthermore, investing always carries risks, so we should prioritize our daily needs before thinking about investing.

One advantage of real estate that we also need to mention is that it can even bring us passive income, something not all assets can do. If you own real estate, you can rent it out short or long term and you will receive a monthly income stream without losing full ownership of your land. To be fair, bitcoin and real estate are both assets worth investing in and holding for anyone. But saying that bitcoin is better than real estate in every way is a bias against bitcoin.

I do agree that Bitcoin as investment is not better than Real Estate, at least for now, because Bitcoin is extremely volatile and harder to predict compared to Real-Estate investment. But all that being said, Real Estate also has it downside, there are more risk on real estate, more of the time related to the tennant, if the tenant is bad the maintenance fee for the real estate could reduce the profit, not to mention other force majeur risk like fire and natural disaster. While Bitcoin is free of all those kind of risks.

Well, those risks are very minimal and it has a little to no chance for a natural disaster to destroy your property.
If you have tenant issues, you can always have them ejected from your property as they are causing a trouble inside your premise and then replace them with a new one eventually.
Those risks you have mentioned are actually controllable, real estate still has a wayyyyy lower risk than bitcoin to be honest not being biased here.
You know what's another risky thing about bitcoin except from it being extremely volatile? The fact that you don't have a tangible asset, the risk of it getting stolen by someone is always gonna be the risks you are carrying day to day. You could lose your bitcoin in just one Thanos snap if you're being too complacent about your security.
Could someone steal a real estate property away from you?

If he is worried about risks such as natural disasters and fires that will cause damage to real estate, he should also think about the risks of the house he lives in because it is also real estate. As for problems like renters, it's too easy to solve, just kick them out of the house and rent it to someone else, I guess he has never rented a property or house to anyone.

Yes, if we evaluate fairly and without bias, it is clear that real estate is much safer than bitcoin. That is why many people call real estate and gold a safe haven, no one calls bitcoin a safe haven instead it is a risky investment. But the higher the risk, the higher the return, which is why many young people today prefer bitcoin over other traditional investments.
1066  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Governments Ban Cryptocurrency {Bitcoin} on: October 19, 2023, 09:48:08 AM
There are many reasons why a country bans Bitcoin, and most countries don't want to bring these reasons to the public. Some governments think that if Bitcoin is allowed in their country, they will not be able to control their country's economy, while some countries' governments think that if Bitcoin is allowed in their country, people will deposit their money through Bitcoin instead of keeping money in banks, which will result in their country's money going out , while some countries may ban bitcoins in the country considering their country's education rate. For example you mentioned China and Russia here, I know you all have very good economic condition of China and Russia, why they are not allowing Bitcoin in their country despite having good economic condition, there may be some reason behind it. Maybe they don't want another currency to rule their country. 
Different countries generally play different roles in banning Bitcoin.

To me, the government doesn't have too many reasons to ban bitcoin, they only have one reason, which is that it is decentralized. The decentralized nature of bitcoin is the only factor that makes it impossible for governments to be friendly towards it as it would destroy a host of government regulations and rules put in place to control us. But they never revealed that reason to the public and also gave hundreds of other silly reasons.

But government resistance to bitcoin is also gradually failing because they cannot stop people from using it and its adoption is gradually happening faster than in previous years.

I agree with your point, actually the government doesn't have too many reasons to ban bitcoin, the only reason is its decentralized nature and that makes them unable to control it. Besides that reason, I don't see any more reasonable reason like bitcoin related to crime, fraudulent activities...Let's not forget that crime and fraud predate bitcoin by hundreds of years so those reasons are really silly and stupid to me. They do not dare to admit that they have failed to control bitcoin, so they find every reason to hide that failure.
1067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? Selling all or not on: October 19, 2023, 08:50:37 AM
While it would not be a good idea to sell all bitcoins in a bull market, some bitcoins should be kept in the fund.  There are many investors who are anxious to see a bull market, and they think that if there is a good profit, they should sell everything. However, the trading strategy may differ from one person to another.  I agree it can be a good idea to sell your bitcoins during a bull run, but sell 50% without selling all the bitcoins.  Because there is no guarantee when the next bear market will occur.  If Bitcoin really go to moon if the price goes above 100k then you can consider it.

That's why we need to have appropriate plans and goals for buying and selling. We should not follow the flow of the market because we will never know where is the bottom and where is the highest peak of the market.

I will sell 50% of my bitcoins when bitcoin reaches its 1st target of $100k, and I will hold the remaining 50% until bitcoin reaches its 2nd target of $150k. If the market then continues to reach a higher ATH, I will accept my profits because I have achieved my target. But if the market suddenly drops later and I can't achieve my second goal, I won't regret it too much because my plan is 50% complete. In investing, everything is very unpredictable so we should have a specific plan, don't invest based on emotions.
1068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Give Bitcoin investment time on: October 19, 2023, 08:42:40 AM
When people take the initiative to create a business or a company, there is definitely a need for time. Moreover, if he is to advance in the field of business, he must take a lot of time and time is of the utmost importance. No trader can bring profit in a short period of time rather any action taken takes a long time to be successful. That's why I think it would be completely foolish to invest in Bitcoin and expect to make a profit within a short period of time. Because investing in bitcoins must be patient and wait for a long period of time but it will be possible to make a profit. However, an investor should be most aware of the fact that investing in bitcoins will not make you rich in a short period of time. To get rich by investing in bitcoins, only those who have to wait long until the bitcoin market changes will be successful.

You're right, everyone knows that making money from business or any job is not easy and takes a lot of time. Even though we are salaried workers, we still have to work hard for 26 to 30 days to receive our small salary. So why might we think that bitcoin can help us get rich quickly?  If that were true, would it still be available to us? Bitcoin is like any other investment or business, everything requires knowledge, skills and time to conquer it. No success is easily achieved without paying a price.
1069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 19, 2023, 04:34:25 AM
I think Real Sociedad's chances of winning this match are very big, especially since they are playing at home, and currently Real Sociedad's performance is very good and now Real Sociedad is in 6th place in the La Liga standings.
And Mallorca is a team that is clearly below Real Sociedad in terms of quality, so far Mallorca have only been able to win once in the 9 matches they have played.
So I have no doubts about Real Sociedad's victory in this match and I even predict that this will be an easy win for Real Sociedad.
It might be quite easy to win for Real Sociedad, but it might only be a very small score because of the results of the meetings between these two teams in several matches that have passed in previous seasons. Real Sociedad very rarely wins by a lot of scores against Mallorca and could even possibly draw if Mallorca is able to create a better game at home to Real Sociedad. However, I still have more confidence in Real Sociedad's performance in that match because Real Sociedad will not let Mallorca win or draw at the Reale Arena.

The small score is okay, the most important thing is that Real Sociedad gets all three points in the game. Real Sociedad has the upper hand of winning Mallorca because they are stronger than Mallorca and they will also the playing at home, which is an additional advantage for them.

Mallorca might try their best from stopping Real Sociedad from gaining all three point by drawing the match, and this is if Real Sociedad underestimate Mallorca, it might even become a win for Mallorca. I don't think is will be that easy for Mallorca to win but it is possible for a draw. I will place my bet on Real Sociedad because they are the strongest in this match.


Mallorca has been showing pretty mediocre performance in recent times. Having only one win in the last five matches is definitely not good enough.  But on the other hand Real Sociedad is in good form. At least compared to their opponent going into this match.  They have three wins in the last five matches and even though they actually lost the last match, I will say that they will have a better performance going into this match against Mallorca. Honestly, Real Sociedad has a chance to get further ahead on the points table. I actually want them to grab that opportunity and make sure that they get three points from this match.

If you look at the two that have been played, of course it is predicted that Bayern Munich will be the leader of group A. In my opinion, teams like Manchester United, Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen still have the same big chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the UCL. . My prediction is in group A
1 Bayern Munich
2 Galatasaray
3 Manchester United
4 FC Copenhagen

Galatasaray should not be taken lightly, they managed to beat Man United previously. I'm also not sure that Man United can win the remaining four matches, in fact I'm more inclined to make Man United make more mistakes than Galatasaray.
I agree with your scenario, it is difficult for Manchester United to wipe out the remaining four matches in the UCL group phase, because two matches are a little easier to play and win, namely when they face Copenhagen, the rest United have to face Galatasaray and Bayern Munchen again. At the first meeting, United had already received defeat from both clubs, perhaps the most realistic thing for United was to achieve a draw in these two matches.

If United finish in third place, then Ten Hag will bring his squad to compete in the Europa League. However, it should be noted that Copenhagen is currently still better than United in Group A, they have one point while Manchester United has none.

With the kind of performance, Manchester United is showing right now, I do not think that Ten Hag is going to be the coach of Manchester United for a long time, to be honest. He is not being able to bring in good performances. And if Manchester United is not performing in the Champions League, I think we will see some changes in the authority.

After getting all the facilities that he wants, he is still unable to bring in consistent results. Why are clubs like Manchester United who definitely has a decent squad going to be worried about qualifying for the next stage from the group stage of the Champions League?
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 19, 2023, 01:22:05 AM
It's not like I wanted to undermine Dortmund at all but I feel that Dortmund also needs to step up their consistency to a level at which Bayern are in. And Dortmund do need strong players to get that consistency. With players moving out or being sold they are relying on fresh faces and experience with which I feel chances are very low to win a title. Even if they do I would say they are lucky to win the title.

With the way Bayern Munich are structured definitely I will agree with you that it will take a bit of luck to get Dortmund to win the title. Last season was their golden opportunity to at least end the yearly dominance and stop the streak Bayern Munich were on and as usual they lack the ability to withstand that pressure just on the last day of the league. If you look properly the league is usually won when you have a very strong and large squad and Dortmund last season had that squad. Although they fell short of winning last season my thought is they will regroup and comeback stronger by adding more players this season but they even ended up letting some of their key players leave, some like Guirreiro to even your biggest rival.

This period is seriously a time when other team will have to dethrone Bayern Munich because if look from last season they are having an internal problem in the team that spans beyond just players and managerial issues but rather a management problem which we saw a very chunk change of directors. This kind of situation is what I want other teams to capitalize on and Only Bayer Leverkusen is doing that at the moment and I hope they go all the way to win it

Dortmund is never going to get to the same level as Bayern Munich. Simply because they lack the passion. They are a club which actually never goes for the trophy.  And when I say lacking passion, I mean not being able to win trophies. Actually it is not even unable to win trophies, it is actually not even wanting to win trophies. And a club is never going to improve or actually pose any threat to other clubs as long as they keep selling the best players that they produce for money. Especially when they sell those players to the rival clubs.

David Raya was also a target for Manchester United but ended up choosing Onana, which in my opinion choosing Onana was a mistake. Today Raya proved that she is better than Onana, very clear and comparable over the last few kagas. Manchester United has again made the wrong decision in choosing a goalkeeper. There is a lot of praise that David Raya can get with Arsenal considering that if Arteta has given him a place and continues to be used as a starter, it means that Artets has great trust. It is possible that a permanent option will be realized next season. Ramsdale may have to be willing to share space because after all this is a risk he has to accept.


I think Onana is not a bad choice but it was unnecessary for sure. It is difficult for any new player at the beginning at United. At United , pressure is huge and right now Onana is under a huge pressure. I would say Onana hasn't adjusted well at United and needs a bit more time in my opinion.

Raya also could have been a good choice but the difficult part is Brentford doesn't wants to let him go easily and at that time when United were looking for goalkeeper, United were actually looking for a permanent option and not a temporary one.
We should not just approach issues as simple as they appear. There is no guarantee that Raya will no longer flop throughout the season and there is no guarantee that Onana has failed as a goalkeeper. Presently, we can say that Raya is doing outstandingly well and also we can say that Onana is struggling but this two developments will not remain static

It is known that Manchester United is used to making mistakes in the transfer market but I can attest that the case of Onana wasn't a mistake. Onana was among the best of not the available best as at when Manchester United went into the market in search of a goalkeeper. In as much as Onana has not given his best, I can confidently say that Manchester United problem is not a goalkeeper. If Manchester United team is stabled, their goal keeper will be stable.

naira, I actually don’t think even David Raya would have been better for Manchester United. Because remember, the problem is not with the players. The problem is actually with Manchester United. At least that's what I think. Otherwise, why would whichever player joins Manchester United start performing so badly?  Is there a chance that if Manchester United actually chose David Raya, as their goalkeeper, he would have done better? Yes, there is.  But that does not refute the point that Manchester United is performing badly even though they are bringing in players consistently. And at this point, the coach actually has no excuse as well.
1073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife. on: October 18, 2023, 08:50:18 AM
I promised in a post on this forum a few months ago. I had a plan to give half of my bitcoin investment to my wife after marriage. I got married a few days ago. First I gave my wife all the ideas about Bitcoin. I was surprised to hear my wife, as soon as I told my wife about Bitcoin, she said that she had heard the name of Bitcoin before. I thought it would be very difficult to convince girls. But my wife was able to understand about Bitcoin very easily. I gave him half of the investment as per my word. He is very happy to get Bitcoin. My wife plans to hold bitcoin for a long time. Now you can say it is better to give girls gold jewelery than bitcoins. I have given gold ornaments to my wife as per her wish. Have any of you managed to teach your wife Bitcoin? Have any of you gifted bitcoin to a wife like me?

I can teach my wife about Bitcoin, but I can't gift Bitcoin. Because I will teach bitcoin and give ideas about investing and the idea will get my wife interested and she will start investing. And if I help him with Bitcoin, I'll think that I didn't pique his interest with the idea of ​​Bitcoin.

Because I think the bitcoin gift you gave to your wife is wrong in my opinion. Because if you give him idea about bitcoin.(you give some small money to your wife) surely he will start investing with small amount of money. And investing in DCA method can be invested with any amount of assets. 
Then I understand that you got your wife properly interested in Bitcoin and got the right education.


If she is truly passionate about bitcoin, even if you give her some bitcoin, will that amount be enough for her to stop accumulating it? Just like you, how much bitcoin is enough for you, or if given the opportunity, would you hold as much as possible? Teaching your wife bitcoin is a good thing, but it has nothing to do with you gifting her bitcoin. Because it is considered a gift for an important event. OP didn't give gold or other gifts but instead gave bitcoin to his wife, so there's nothing wrong. It even fueled her desire to accumulate more bitcoin because she saw its true potential.

Hardware wallet is the perfect choice if you are in worries about protecting your Bitcoin.

Hardware wallets are not perfect at protecting your bitcoins, they do not completely protect you from risk, they may be more secure than online wallets or software wallets but the safety of your bitcoins depends entirely on you . I see some people use hardware wallets to store their bitcoins but store the seed phrase on their phone or online storage platform. Many people mistakenly believe that their bitcoins are stored in hardware wallets and that as long as the hardware wallets are secured, they are safe. And this is a serious lack of knowledge. So for me, the safety of our bitcoin depends entirely on how we store it.
1075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am 19 years old boy living in South korea. Please give me an advice on: October 18, 2023, 08:33:17 AM
I receive about $100 a month from my dad. I am planning to use them to buy some bitcoin.
Please give me an advice to be successful Bitcoin investor in the future.
Is that pocket money? or the money you need for food, bus fare, and internet? If that $100 is the money gifts from parents that are used for pocket money to buy snacks, soft drinks, or card games. Better to use it to buy bitcoin, use at least $75 to buy bitcoin, and the rest you use it for snacks. I am salute with you because you are still young and have thought to realize the future to begin investment. I very rarely meet the young people, who save pocket money just to buy a few bitcoins, I don't know how?, maybe because of the conditions in your country is very comfortable to live, and think a young people like you think about life in the future.

Just continue it, and the next, you just need to control your emotions and have a target for when to sell or buy the asset.

But what if that was all the money his parents gave him for monthly expenses, including food, tuition...so what? I think studying is more important than using that money to invest in bitcoin and disrupting his studies.

Many young people today have the idea of getting rich, they all want to become rich, that is the desire of young people. But what's more worrying is that they like to get rich quickly, they prefer gambling rather than getting rich slowly and sustainably. Therefore, I think OP needs to have a proper look at bitcoin before making an investment decision. Bitcoin cannot make us rich with just a small amount of capital or will make us rich overnight.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 18, 2023, 06:26:02 AM
If you look at the experience that De Gea already has, it is still quite feasible for a team as big as Bayern Munich to attract him into their squad. Because De Gea is not that old, it is still possible for him to be trusted again as the best goalkeeper in a team that has good dominance in the Bundesliga. And if Sommer can still make a good contribution to Bayern Munich, he doesn't need to be sold either, but for now I think it is also difficult for Bayern Munich to make a choice on this matter.
I mean, if De Gea is so that great, many teams should be interested to sign him after Manchester United not want to extend his contract, isn't? but the reality there's no big team is seriously want to sign him, Bayern Munich is a big team and they're need to find a good goalkeeper.

I think it's because of De Gea want a high salary and no team can afford it except Saudi Arabian teams.

I also feel strange about De Gea, because about De Gea last season at Manchester United last season, in fact De Gea managed to become the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. So, with his status as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League last season, at least this achievement should make De Gea easy to be brought in by other big teams . After all, bringing De Gea at this moment also can be obtained for free too, unless De Gea demands a large salary. Because anyway, in the last transfer window it also seemed like Bayern Munich were not interested in bringing in De Gea so yes, I personally don't believe Bayern Munich will bring in De Gea in the next transfer windows. Despite the fact, Bayern Munich defense so far this season is also not very good and Bayern Munich should bring in a new goalkeeper who certainly also has good quality.

The performance from him has been quite bad with Manchester United. De Gea is conceited a lot and I will blame the defense of Manchester United for that. I am not saying that he did not make any mistakes. Definitely, he did but the defense, especially Harry Maguire was the one to blame. I thought, after he becomes a free agent, other clubs are going to be interested in him and would take him in pretty quickly. But it seems like that is not the case. I really do not know why but clubs are just not interested in him. Could it be the salary?
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 18, 2023, 12:52:36 AM

Lyon's performance is very disappointing. Their achievement is only 3 points in 8 matches. The team could not win even one of the 8 matches. I don't think the Lyon team is weak. I have seen good performances from this team in past seasons. But their performance has been very poor since the beginning of this season. And the main reason for their poor performance is their poor defense. They conceded 16 goals in 8 matches. Lyon have one of the weakest defenses in Ligue 1.

Clermont's situation isn't much better either. The last team in the table is now Clermont. Lyon vs Clermont match is more likely to be a draw. The reason is that both parties are weak. And so no team wants to lose points. They will be happy to get 1 point from this match.
I think the struggle now for Lyon should be getting out of the red zone nd probably steering clear off it for a as long as the season would be because they have started the season on a very poor note and they are now way behind, even if they happen to improve from their current status they will only be struggling to stay In the main league by finishing amongst first seven teams.

Playing against Clermont is another opportunity for them to get three points and leave the relegation zone but if they happen to get a draw or a loss they are definitely not going out of that zone because they will have just four points, although Clermont is not to be underestimated because they are good teams aswell, they have an average performance with their recent games especially when they were able to share points with PSG. If it were to be last season I would have no doubts about Lyon because comparing their performance this season they were much better last season.

Not being able to win a single match in the eight matches that they have played, it is definitely very disappointing and do some extent heartbreaking for the fans. Drastic measures have to be taken in my opinion. Otherwise, it seems unlikely that the team is actually going to improve. At this point, I think we can say that they are not going to finish at the top of the table because the way they have started the season, it has become almost impossible to recover completely from this situation in this season.

But in the next match, they will be playing against another team who has not been able to win a single match either. Which is Clermont Foot. This is definitely a chance for them to get three points.

So far this season Bayer Leverkusen managed to maintain great results without defeat in all competitions, because Bayer Leverkusen only got one draw when Bayer Leverkusen played against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga . So yes, with a record without defeat so far this season in all competitions, then of course Bayer Leverkusen will have a chance to also be able to win the Europa League trophy this season. But about AS Roma and Marseille, because the opponents they will face in the next match are the top teams. Then I think it is not easy for AS Roma and Marseille to win, and although AS Roma and Marseille will play at home but still, I think it is also not a guarantee for AS Roma and Marseille to win.
I still didn't expect that Leverkusen would be this good in all competitions and they maintained the positive results they achieved without even losing. Now Liverpool clearly have real rivals for the European league competition and it is certain that Liverpool's progress will probably be stopped if they face Leverkusen in one of the European league rounds later. Indeed, sometimes Roma and Marseille are also very doubtful of being able to win and I think both of them are likely to achieve less good results in the next match.

However, from Roma's point of view, they have the same points as Slavia Prague with 6 points, so the match will still be decisive for the top of the temporary Group G standings. Meanwhile for Marseille, if they win, of course they will be able to shift AEK Athens' temporary position in Group B, but if Marseille loses, their chances will also be increasingly slim in the future.

Yes, even though this moment I doubt AS Roma and Marseille a little but still, on paper AS Roma and Marseille should to win. Because of course, there is still a chance for AS Roma and Marseille to win and of course to become winner in their respective groups in this group phase . But regarding Bayer Leverkusen I think it is clear, Bayer Leverkusen has made extraordinary achievements so far this season. Of course, the great achievements so far are also thanks to the extraordinary skills possessed by Xabi Alonso. Moreover, if for example Bayer Leverkusen plays against Liverpool later, then I think Bayer Leverkusen still has a chance to win. Because after all, in the past when Xabi Alonso was still a player, in fact Xabi Alonso had played at Liverpool also before leaving for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Bayern Leverkusen is showing incredible performance. And I don't think it is actually going to be a good idea to underestimate them against any opponent at this moment. I am specially, scared because I thought at least Bayern Munich was going to have no problem being able to beat them. But even Buyer Munich, which is the best team in Bundesliga was unable to do that. That has also raised a question in my mind about whether Bayern Munich is actually still the best team in the Bundesliga or not. so anyway, nobody should actually underestimate by Leverkusen anymore.

It is certain that Luka Modric will not be in the Real Madrid squad for long, the development of younger midfielders makes Luka Modric position even more threatened. Bellingham increasing performance has made him one of the irreplaceable midfielders in Real Madrid main squad.
Federico Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavinga also always perform well when given their trust, Ancelotti only rotates them in several matches by including Toni Kroos or Luka Modric. Modric presence is increasingly marginalized in the Real Madrid squad, now he mostly sits on the bench rather than being trusted to play from the first minute.

Modric's position is already under threat. But that is a normal thing. Considering that he is no longer young. Currently Modric has one more year on his contract until 30 June 2024. And I doubt that next year Real Madrid will again extend his contract at the club. But I still remember that in the transfer market yesterday Modric rejected an offer from an Arab club. And he still chooses to play at Real Madrid with his contract extension only until next year. And in a report it was reported that Modric wanted to retire at Real Madrid. So is it possible that if his contract is not extended next season then he will retire? But my guess is that he will be approached again by an Arab club and if it is a high offer then maybe he will follow C.Ronaldo to an Arab club. But if Real Madrid extends his contract again then of course Modric will definitely continue to stay at Real Madrid. But I'm not sure that will happen.

I am also very much doubtful about them, extending the contract with Luka Modrić. He is obviously still a very good player. There is no doubt about that. But if history can tell us anything, I think we know that Real Madrid do not keep players who are old. And especially Real Madrid, do not keep players who are past their prime.  Luka Modrić is definitely not in his prime. But the main reason he is still in Real Madrid is because he is still performing quite well and they also have not found a true replacement of him.

But anyway I do not think that Real Madrid is extending their contract with him. But I believe it will be a better idea to extend his contract for one more year and sell him to a Saudi club for a big amount of money. and by the time they will also be able to find a replacement.

I hate wars. I hate conflicts. Both they are almost unavailable. Wars and conflicts disrupts lives. It kills people - men, women, babies. Businesses are shot down. Schools are shot down. Boys become father's and look after their moms and siblings because their father has gone to war. Daughters become mothers and have to care for their siblings because they lose their mothers to war. Children with perfectly normal lives become refugees

Wars and conflicts doesn't give you the time to plan. It happens fast and it happens suddenly. It comes with a huge economic cost. And for us in the cryptocurrency, we are not exempted too. If you are a miner, your mining operation is affected because if you are caught up in the conflict, you have to abandon it and flee so that you do not get killed.


War is something no one wants because it brings no benefits, but for politicians, those who crave power see it as necessary to prove their power, a hobby. War will never go away and those politicians will never care about our life or death so let's find a way to take care of ourselves if war happens in our country.

The war between Russia and Ukraine is not over yet, we continue to witness the war between Israel and Hamas, I don't expect there will be another war from China and Taiwan in the future. I don't want world war 3 to happen but we can't do anything else if they want it to happen.
