Those are the standings as of now. By the time the group stage comes to an end, I expect Portugal to top the Group A (right now both Serbia and Portugal have 10 points from 4 matches, but Serbia is ahead as a result of better goal difference). If Portugal somehow misses the boat to Doha in 2022, then a lot of people will be disappointed. As you have correctly pointed out, it may be the last world cup appearance for Cristiano Ronaldo. He's already 36 years old and I don't think that he will continue playing until 2026.

Yes, World Cup 2022, it should really be the last world championship that Ronaldo will participate in. But I think he should still participate in the 2024 European Championships.

So, let's see Ronaldo giving everything he has to the team to perform well.

We still don't know it yet. And I don't think that Ronaldo has decided when to end his national team career. I expect him to play football until the age of 40 at least. If he doesn't retire from the national team before, then we can see him in the next European Championship also. And Ronaldo is still very strong and energetic. He is still very determined. And as long as he is in a good shape, he should be able to play until being 40 at least.

Tottenham are going to start to the next match week with the Crystal Palace match. They are going to be playing away but they are still the favourite by far of course. Kane's staying at the team will help the team finish at a nice position a lot. So far, they still did a good job even without Kane's great performance. Nuno Espirito Santo's system seems like good for now. I really missed to see Tottenham at top places. They should be able to make it to the upper places under a better management this season.

I never would like to stay hungry rather than selling my coins. I don't see Bitcoin investment as a critical thing in my life. It is not more important than the quality of my life. So I never prefer to invest most of my money into Bitcoin. I plan my investments before and don't make them all at one time. We should make our investments wisely otherwise we would have even a lower-quality life in the future.

For this reason, I'm continuing with only the top altcoins in the market now. And I have invested a little into few promising projects also. I don't like to invest into so many altcoins. Because there are many scam projects also in this market. If I come across them, I can lose a lot of money. I prefer to move on more carefully. And altcoins are unpredictable even more than Bitcoin I think.

Today we have really nice matches like Belgium vs Czech Republic and Switzerland vs Italy.

Belgium defeated Estonia the last time by 5-2. Lukaku scored 2 goals in this one. They are still the leader. Czech Republic defeated Belarus 1-0 and they are following Belgium at the 2nd position by 3 points. I think that Belgium are highly the favorite team here and they will win it.

As for the other match, Italy got a surprising and unlucky result against Bulgaria, 1-1. But they are still the leader by 4 points. Switzerland were not too bad in the Euro 2020 but now I think that Italy can defeat them again like they did in that tournament by 3-0.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 05, 2021, 11:00:20 AM
He already left Italy for flying to Manchester before his transfer became clear. So, it seems like he didn't even think about joining PSG. Or maybe PSG weren't intending to make an offer for him so Ronaldo didn't have anything to do about it. Manchester City seemed to be the closest team but suddenly everything changed and we saw his deal with Manchester United.  Cheesy  It was a really weird 24-hour period to be honest.

As far as I know, the deal between Ronaldo and Manchester United has been in the final. And we haven't heard any rumors that PSG has made any offers to Ronaldo. But I heard he might join Manchester City. But City may not have been interested in him.

The deal is already done between Manchester United and Juventus. He is officially a Manchester United player now. You can check it on Transfermarkt also by the way. Manchester City were interested in him first but pulled out of the deal after not much time. If they didn't, I wonder which side would win the competition to sign Ronaldo. I guess that Ronaldo would choose his old team again even if Manchester City have a bigger chance to win the Premier League and the Champions League at the same time.

We are getting close to a critical match for Mikel Arteta which is going to be against Norwich. It is very crucial for Arsenal to get a win in this match. Otherwise, I'm seeing it for sure now that the club will fire him. They are much more capable of winning this match compared to Norwich. They just need to gather their focus and do what is expected from them. And I expect at least one goal from Aubameyang.
1148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you consider living on crypto? on: September 05, 2021, 10:23:06 AM
In today's world, it doesn't seem very possible to live on crypto unless your government decides to make it legal tender. Because cryptocurrencies are still not used everywhere. You can't pay your bills with cryptocurrencies for example. Or you can't buy anything you would like with even Bitcoin now. As long as fiat is used as the global currency, cryptocurrencies will not have this chance as much as fiat. However, this won't go on like this forever too. After digital currencies take the place of fiat in the future, we will always be using digital ones.
1149  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto will rival or replace crypto in 10 years? on: September 05, 2021, 10:18:41 AM
People really wonder whether cryptocurrencies would replace fiat in the future but I don't honestly. Because I already believe that volatile ones will have no chance against fiat or even the digital currencies developed by governments. Governments wouldn't like to deal with a volatile currency. They would actually make volatile ones their currencies but it is on the condition that they will shape it in the way they want. But this time, for example Bitcoin will lose its identity forever.

Latvia - Norway match has just finished and I see that Haaland scored again. Norway managed to defeat Latvia 2-0 easily. And Norway were too much dominant in this match that they could have scored at least 5 goals actually. They have started waiting for the remaining matches of the group which are:

Gibraltar v Turkey
Netherlands v Montenegro

I expect Turkey and Netherlands to win their matches without having much problem.

Halland is playing really good currently for Norway and is carrying them in every match what is expected from him.Turkey should destroy honestly Gibraltar that mostly unexperienced players play.Netherlands should be aware from Montenegro .They surprised Turkey last time in this match i expect 3-4 goals or more.

Turkey destroyed Gibraltar by scoring 3 goals and conceding none. However, they could have scored more goals than this. But they missed so many goal opportunities. When it comes to Netherlands, they obliterated Montenegro by 4-0. They dominated the game from the start to the end and deserved this huge victory. Turkey are still leading by one point and the 2nd team are Netherlands.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 05, 2021, 10:06:56 AM
The match will be a tough match. Because both teams are probably not weak, Dormund and Leverkusen both have a good squad. Although their last meeting was a victory to Dormund, but it won't be easy for them to beat Leverkusen this one. Is a home match for Leverkusen and out of their last 4 matches against Dormund, they won 2 which they were at home. And lost 2 which was away matches. However, I think Leverkusen will try their best in winning the match, although, it may end up draw, but I don't see Leverkusen losing the match.

One of the most exciting matches of the week will be played. Both teams are very strong and will try to win the match. Leverkusen started the season well, they were able to win in their last matches. I think Leverkusen will win this match as well.
I wonder what strategy the teams will follow. If there are many goals, it will be a very enjoyable match to watch. The match may end in a draw Smiley

I see that Borussia Dortmund have a 2.02 odd for their victory while Leverkusen's odd is 3.45. And the odd for a draw is 3.80. Dortmund seem as the favourite side of course but not by far either. Because Leverkusen are not a team to be underestimated here. They are really powerful and had a great start as they are at the 2nd place now. The safest option for me seems like both teams to score.

well manchester united's next opponent is not a very strong opponent, i'm talking about premier league opponent so machester united will win with some comfort with cristiano ronaldo on the field, but i think with these players manchester united should strive to get more far in the champions league

I agree with you on this. Their next opponent in the league is really not a strong one. As it will be his debut match, I can't wait to watch him in the starting eleven hopefully. Maybe he could be on the bench and enter the match in the second half also, we will see. In both cases, I have no doubt that he will do his best even in his first match. It is going to be sentimental for him to play here after many years.
1153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is NFT a Future of Crypto? on: September 04, 2021, 11:31:27 PM
I think yeah, NFT market is really promising considering cryptocurrency market in general. Because there is a really high interest into NFT projects nowadays. People really like this new technology and there are so many people who are buying NFTs or making them. And I believe that this is only a start for this market. I expect the NFT market to grow much bigger than now in the future while some people are believing that it will disappear after some.

This action shows how much El Salvador cares about Bitcoin adoption to reach really high levels. After making Bitcoin legal tender, they are trying every way they can to convince their people to start using Bitcoin as their main currency. And this is a clever way of doing it. If they place these Bitcoin ATMs to the right places like gas stations etc., they can benefit from it a lot.

I'm getting hyped about the Leicester - Manchester City game next week. I expect a really nice competition between them but of course Manchester City seem far better now. And they are very likely to win this by at least 2 goals I believe. However, Leicester beat them 1-0 in the Community Shield game. But maybe City didn't care about the game too much. We will see their real performance in this game. Leicester have dangerous players like Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans for example. They can score also but my score prediction is 1-3.

Leicester wasn't that convincing so far and seriously, apart from the first game Manchester City seems to be back on track obviously! Cheesy

10 - 0 goals the last two games, if they can keep their level of gameplay, there is no way for Leicester to do anything against them.
Manchester City have faced low level teams and Arsenal recently. Leicester is a lot better than the current Arsenal team and Leicester beat Manchester City in the cup before the Premier League started. Leicester going against Manchester City have a good record and would be the best bet to place because the odds will be in favor of Manchester City by a big amount. I watched the community shield game and Manchester City did care a lot about the match with a lot of their players being visibly frustrated with Leicester.  I wish we stopped pretending that Manchester City is a team that can beat anyone easily. The Premier League is the most competitive league in the world and while Manchester City on their best day are the best in the world Leicester have proven that they can beat them and frustrate those Manchester City players.

Leicester are going to be a much serious challenge for Manchester City actually. However, Manchester City are still highly the favourite side of course. I think that Manchester City will apply their classical game plan and dominate the match. Leicester might have to play a little defensive against them. But still, it wouldn't be enough for an opponent like this. Maybe one of the Tielemans-Maddison-Vardy trio can score a goal in this match but in the end, City should be able to win with at least 2-goal difference I think.

In my opinion, PSG desire to win the champions league makes them rule out any losses that may occur next season, one of which is to keep mbappe this season, even though they know that they are likely to suffer a considerable loss because mbappe will leave with the status of free transfer, but even so, there is still a chance for PSG to persuade mbappe to want to extend his contract with PSG and that could happen if PSG can win many titles by implementing the MNM trio this season.
I think the reason why PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi didn’t enter the deal of Christiano Ronaldo was prolly because he wanted Mbappe to stay. There’s Neymar, Lionel Meesi and Mbappé. They’re first team players, Ronaldo coming would’ve limited Mbappé's chances of playing and that alone could’ve seen him move to Real Madrid. I don’t know if they could’ve been able to handle the wage structure of these top players though but combing these forces would’ve been good for the champions league since it’s their target this season. PSG is a serious contender of the UCL trophy this season and if injuries do not set in, I don’t see any other team more prepared to win it than them. They’ve a very fearsome and sophisticated squad with a high level of experienced players. I hope they can blend well on time and win the UCL.
Ronaldo was not interested in joining PSG he only had the Manchester clubs in mind, the Messi and Ronaldo thing is never going to work, I'm sure if Ronaldo and Messi were to play in one team Messi would outclass Ronaldo in the team. Ronaldo is good at scoring goals but Messi is all round player.

He already left Italy for flying to Manchester before his transfer became clear. So, it seems like he didn't even think about joining PSG. Or maybe PSG weren't intending to make an offer for him so Ronaldo didn't have anything to do about it. Manchester City seemed to be the closest team but suddenly everything changed and we saw his deal with Manchester United.  Cheesy  It was a really weird 24-hour period to be honest.

This hacker must be an angel or something like that.  Grin  Joking aside, there are not only bad hackers, there are good ones also who we call them as white hat hackers. This hacker must be one of them. He/she just wanted to show the security leak of Poly Network. Normally, it would be really hard for a person to return this much money.

Bitcoin is not for the poor or the rich. Bitcoin is for everyone and this is never going to change in the future also. Some people still worry about whether the rich can capture all the Bitcoins and there would be no Bitcoin left for the other people. But they shouldn't worry about it. You will always be able to buy whatever amount of Bitcoin you'd like. There is no necessity for you to buy at least 1 BTC etc..

Red Bull is looking to bring Alexander Albon back into the Formula 1 world championship next season, with potential places at Alfa Romeo and Williams.
Albon had potential after he drove the Red Bull main team car last year, but unfortunately it wasn't enough and he lost his place to Mexican Sergio Perez, and Apparently Williams will have and open seat as George Russell is likely to replace Valtteri Bottas at Mercedes.
Bottas is expected to replace Raikkonen, while Alfa's second driver's seat, currently occupied by Italian Antonio Giovinazzi, is in doubt.
And on the possibility of Albon being released from his contract if he received an offer from Mercedes or Ferrari, Horner said Red Bull only wanted to return to racing.
But today Giovinazzi is hitting back after impressing in the FP1 and FP2 for the Dutch GP finishing in top 10 in both sessions.
Hamilton had engine problems in FP2 and he could get a grid penalty if they switched to a newer Power Unit so that will make his chances less to win this GP especially when you look at Ferrari doing so well on practice, it's true that they always give fans hope after Practice sessions but this is a considered a new circuit for F1 as the last time they raced here was in 85 so a lot of things can happen.

According to some news sources, Alexander Albon is going to fill George Russell's place as he is preparing for a Mercedes move to replace Valtteri Bottas. Hulkenberg must be disappointed after seeing that Albon is chosen for the Williams seat. And after Bottas couldn't put up a really good fight against Hamilton so far, it seems like he doesn't have any credit left at Mercedes from now on. After Raikkonen announced that he was going to retire at the end of the season, Bottas seemed very likely to take his place. I'm looking forward to watching Russell in the Mercedes seat in the next season. And by the way, Hamilton doesn't seem very happy after hearing that Russell is going to replace Bottas. Now, he will have a real challenge at the team.  Grin
