Crazy how Arsenal really want to sign Declan Rice, I think it's too much if they need to spend more than 100 Million Euros because according to Arsenal big transfers [1] those players aren't show good performance like when they were in their previous clubs.
Nicolas Pepe, Aubameyang, Ben White and Alexandre Lacazette, they're failed transfers.
I would also agree that a club should never pay significantly more money as a transfer fee for a player than his current market value. Declan Rice hasca value of 80 Million € at the moment as far as i know, so it would be really stupid in my opinion if Arsenal would make another offer with even more money than those 100 M€ or so that they have already offered for him.
FC Chelsea was even worse, they have paid over 100 M€ for Fernandez in the winter.

I think for that money, Arsenal will actually get other players who are going to be good. I don’t see why Arsenal will have to pay that much money when the market value is 80 million. I am also hearing that the player also does not want to leave for Arsenal at the moment. And that’s why there is a high price tag for him at this moment. I think Arsenal should look for other players to get in the squad. Otherwise, if Arsenal really wants to get him in the squad, they will have to pay a lot of money extra which is really unnecessary. In my opinion.

When gambling consumes a person's thoughts actions and behaviors silently when even after repeated attempts one cannot refrain from that act. But if he loves and believes in religion, he can make a gambler give up gambling. Because there are many religions where gambling is forbidden. But it usually depends on the individual. And if there is an addiction to gambling then the trend of online gambling is very high nowadays. It can be played at home with your mobile. But before that learn about gambling then move on social economic impacts horrible economic losses are caused by gambling.

In religious teachings or principles, gambling is often discouraged or prohibited, as it is considered potentially addictive and harmful to individuals and society. Teachings like these can serve as moral guides and may encourage individuals to quit gambling or obtain addiction treatment.

While practicing a religion can lead to giving up gambling or getting rid of an addiction, it's important to remember that not everyone does. You or someone you know who struggles with gambling addiction should seek professional help from addiction counselors. To overcome an addiction and address its social and economic consequences, they can provide rehabilitation.

Victor Osimhen, displayed the best form of his career and this has attracted interest from several European clubs. I learned that Osimhen insists that the decision about his future lies with Napoli, and he is focused on helping the team win games and trophies. While his contract with Napoli runs until July 2025, there is a strong expectation that English clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United are pursuing a permanent transfer. I wish he goes Manchester United.
Victor Osimhen would benefit more from moving to Manchester United than to Chelsea, in my opinion. Chelsea's team has many good players who they acquired for a high price but still don't perform well, so if Osimhen joined the team, his career would likely come to an end as they would keep him down or refuse to start a game with him because they have so many players. Manchester United does have players, though, unlike Chelsea, who have players and still can't perform well this season.
It will be very exciting to see Victor Osimhen play for English clubs since it is ideal for players to play in many teams to demonstrate their strength and ability rather than remaining in one as a top player.

If Victor Osimhen gets an offer from Real Madrid, I think he should take that. But since we were only talking about English clubs right now, I absolutely agree that he should go to Manchester United instead of Chelsea. Manchester United finished in the third position and will be playing in the Champions League competition. But Chelsea is not going to take part in any European competition. And so this is a very easy choice to make.

Right now, I am hearing that Napoli is also thinking about keeping him. There is a chance of a contract renewal. but I think if he is moving out from Napoli he is going to go to Manchester United. Because Manchester United is the most interested club looking for him right now.

Afghanistan won the previous Test match against Bangladesh by more than 200 runs. So I thought I will see good performance from Afghanistan players in this test match as well. Moreover, this team is very strong in T20 format. Even in IPL, Afghanistan players played quite well. But I was very surprised by Afghanistan's first innings performance.
Afghanistan lost all their wickets for just 146 runs. I don't think Afghanistan will bat so badly. They were behind Bangladesh by 236 runs. And at the end of the second day, they trailed Bangladesh by 370 runs. Probably the Bangladesh team will give a target of more than 550 runs. And will avenge the previous defeat.
Defiantly a defeat waiting for Afghanistan in this match as Bangladesh are already 370 runs ahead and still 9 wickets left. Its shanto who did the real damage in first innings by scoring 146 runs. Afghanistan all out on 146 is the main reason why they are out from this test match. Masood had a perfect start of his test career as he picked 5 wickets. Bangladesh are very much nicely placed in this test.
Nijaat Masood has had a brilliant start to his career. He picked up 5 wickets in his debut innings. Masood bowled very well. But this match would have been more memorable for Masood had the Afghanistan batsmen been able to play well. Afghanistan lost all wickets for just 146 runs was unexpected. But the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled well. Every bowler got a wicket except Taskin and Ebadot managed to pick up 4 important wickets. Shanto scored 146 runs in the first innings. In the second innings too, he collected 54 runs unbeaten. Bangladesh is moving towards achieving big targets.
Bangladesh also bowled a lot of beautiful batting against Afghanistan. As cricket is a game of uncertainty, it cannot be said that Bangladesh will win . If Afghanistan's batting is strong then their game can turn around. However, Bangladesh is already ahead by 370 runs and still has nine wickets in hand. Therefore, the confidence of the Bangladesh team is very high. We who are cricket lovers must want Bangladesh's score to be long at the end of the second day. But there are many good wishes for Bangladesh.

Anything is possible. But since only 2 days have passed. And Bangladesh team is leading by 370 runs, so it can be said that Bangladesh's winning probability is now more than 90%. Because Afghanistan batted strangely in the first innings, even if they play well in the second innings, there is very little chance that they will win the target of 450 or 500 runs.

Moreover, Afghanistan team players are not in good form now. I think they are not confident enough. The team did not play well against Sri Lanka in the last series. The squad also lacks experienced players like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran, and Rahamanullah Gurbaz. And so I am not expecting a very good performance from the Afghanistan players in the second innings as well

Instead, I want to see how Pep Guardiola carries his squad in the Champions League. whether he is able to defend the title, with some of his newcomers. yep, if Bernardo Silva and Gundohan leave in the transfer window, it is even more likely that Mahrez will also have the potential to leave. if so, will City be as fierce as they have been this season, I'm really very curious. even so, I'm pretty sure City remain the superior team.
Well, if Manchester United is successfully acquired by Qatar. Most likely, they will be quite strong competitors in this competition. to be honest, I'm pretty sure with Ten Hag's ability to mix his squad into a strong team, they will be much better than what they have shown this season.
On the other hand, I don't expect much from the Gunners in this competition. but at least, with some newcomers they have to prove their toughness and solidity. this team, is my favorite squad than the other teams that I mentioned.
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City had all of the potentials to win the Champions League, but, I'm just a biased Manchester United fan when it comes to this aspect, and due to sentimental reasons, I just don't want to see Manchester City win the Champions League once again next season, it should rather go to the Italians thna return to Manchester City. Lolz.
The Qataris are currently leading the race to buy Manchester United, but it seems like glazers are still sending messages to the other parties to increase them bid if they're to beat them. Erik Ten Hag's a great coach, with the support of the Qataris, he'll get quality players, capable of fighting for Manchester United.
We'll see bout the gunner's, I do not undermine them. But same squad used fir the Premier League can't be used for the Champions League. They're to make sure they get quality players for depth also.

If some very rich man buys Manchester United, I think they are going to find better success. We have just seen Newcastle United being bought by a very rich dude.

We can already see the improvement that they are making. In the end, Money talks. Manchester United wasted a lot of money trying to get some overhyped players. Now the financial situation is certainly not ideal for Manchester United. With a good amount of money, they can overcome the situation which they are in right now. I will say that they are currently improving and not in too much bad a situation, to be honest. But with the help of more money will be able to compete with Manchester City.

The national team of England is not one of the best in my opinion. And another thing is, they are a little too dependent on Harry Kane. I understand that he is a great player. But as long as they are going to depend on him they are not going to find success. They will have to be good as a team. Of course, English Premier League is the best in the world right now. It does not mean England will be able to create the best national team in football.

In France, the league competition is not going to be interesting as long as the other teams are not getting bought by some rich guy.

What is next for Ligue 1 ? I mean , a lot of stars will leave France football in this summer and I don't see a lot to join in return. Why ? Well , simply because the internal football of France had a solid project but it kinda failed internationally because no club achieved anything in the last years for France but if we take a look on their national squad , we can say only good and great things about them so there is a huge gap right now between what a France player can do , no matter the club and what Ligue 1 is offering to them regarding strong internal competition because this is the first key towards international success...to make your internal championship as strong and tight as you can.

EPL did this and still doing this in order to get competition as strong as possible and I wouldn't be surprise if England wins next WC.

Afghanistan could not avoid the follow on but Bangladesh started their second innings without forcing them to bat. In the beginning, Bangladesh lost the wicket of Mahmudul Hasan in  18 runs. However, Bangladesh started the second innings with a big lead of 236 runs. If Bangladesh can give Afghanistan a target of more than 400 runs in the second innings, then it can be said for sure that Bangladesh will win the only Test.
It should be added that Bangladesh has a lead of 284 runs till the last update.
Afghanistan did not bowl well and later they even did not bat well. Their whole team was out under 150 runs, 146 to be exact. Afsar Zazai scored the highest 36 runs while Nasir Jamal scored 35 runs. Rest none of the batsmen were able to make any significant score.

Bangladesh have already scored 134 runs with one wicket down only and they have the match winning lead of 370 runs and counting.
Watching this Test match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, it seems once again that Afghanistan is yet to establish a good position in any format except T20. They lost all wickets for just 146 runs in the first innings against Bangladesh. Nasir Jamal and Zazai scored 71 runs from their batting which is almost the half score of the entire innings. Afghan batsmen could not create any hindrance for the Bangladeshi bowlers. On the other hand, they did not dominate in bowling either. Bangladesh's victory in this match can be said to be almost certain.

Afghanistan won the previous Test match against Bangladesh by more than 200 runs. So I thought I will see good performance from Afghanistan players in this test match as well.

I was trying to verify that Osimhen rejected Galtier as a coach, but there are no news which state that Osimhen did say that. Where did you find that Osimhen rejected Galtier?
I would actually be surprised if it turns out that Osimhen can contribute to the decision which coach they are going to sign next. How do we even know that Osimhen will still be playing for Napoli next season? This seems to be a weird and are probably fake news if they are anywhere to be found at all.
Yeah, with most chances now as we are heading for the transfer window many are trying to create drama for their own sack with news like this because there are serious rumours most chances Victor Osimhen is going to leave Napoli even it's also not confirmed, but now things like these are working around, so there is no reality in this news as well that Victor Osimhen is going to decide who is going to be next coach of Napoli it's completely useless.
Osimhen have good season with this it's never been mean he is going to contribute about the decision of next Napoli coach because this is completely based on management with they can do better things for their club not a player which is having just one good season in the team.

Victor Osimhen had a really good season. He is certainly going to get attention from a lot of big clubs. I don’t think he will stay in Napoli. He is getting a lot better offers. And by better I mean from bigger and better clubs. It is expected that he is going to leave.

But I still have no idea where he is going to go. The thing is he is very expensive right now. If he does not perform there have been other players who are a lot better in this price range. The risk is there. The question is is the risk worth taking? Because there is always a risk involved in every transfer. Also, is it safe to go for a player of this price range when he has told himself for only one season so far?

If PSG decided to stop Mbappe this season then that is very big risk because if he decides to leave next season that will be on a free transfer which would cost the club a big fortune thus losing millions of Euros, the only way forward is Mbappe to give assurance to the club that he is staying with the club for a long term basis and ready to sign a new contract, however with some recent speculations of his purported move to Real Madrid is unsettling his club,  of course Real Madrid needed a striker to replace Benzema who had left the club while the club is already on the move to bid for  and sign Harry Kane, however I think Real Madrid will  give up on signing him for Mbappe.
They already said that if he doesn't sign until 1st of august (automatic no renewal) then he is open for sale, and he is open for sale even right now because he hasn't signed it yet, the only way he would ever be off the table could be him getting that extension otherwise he is just on the market.
Not a ton of teams can afford him though, that's the issue, and not like he would go to any team neither, so there are very few teams that can both afford him and convince him at the same time. lets see what's going to happen, maybe one or two premier league teams, Madrid, and as I heard Bayern is getting ready to make an offer as well, its not official yet but seems like they probably won't be able to afford him. It will be a very very exciting summer without a doubt.

If any team is looking to get Mbappé right now in the team, I believe it will be a very wise decision to wait right now. There is no need to pay a huge amount of money for him when he is going to be a free agent after this season if I am not wrong. So it is a better decision to wait for him and try to get him on the team with the temptation of huge celery. If they try to pay the fee for him right now, they will basically be broke and might not even afford the salary, he’s going to ask for.

On the other hand, if Mbappé has even a single brain cell left, you should leave PSG. He should think about making a legacy. Money will always be there for a player like him.

I really want to see the Miami Heat cause some problems for the Nuggets.
I see that many people like that to happen but the reality is making us see on where is this going.
Personally, I would like to see the Miami Heat win this game. Because that is going to make things a lot more interesting. I also want to see the final get decided on the 7th game.
You're not alone on this thought but it's convincing that this is really going with the Nuggets whether we like it or not. And if ever the Heat wins the game then we'd see some more chance for them.
But if not, then that's it and we'll just witness a history that's being made through the Nuggets. Everyone wants to see it go until game 7 not until Nuggets will win the next game or by the 6 but who knows?

It is absolutely undeniable that the Denver Nuggets are actually better and more confident in this final. Miami Heat is that okay out of sorts right now. The confidence is not there. But they will have to find confidence because this is a must-win match for them.

And I also am not very confident that they will actually be able to win this match. But probably they will be able to win if they give their best. But honestly, the chances look very little. I will actually say that if the Miami Heat can actually manage to win this one, they will be able to take things to the seventh game. But if they lose this one, then it is just over.

I even though that Aldana corner is going to throw a towel after first round, as Aldana simply ate all the strike Nunes throw. That was a total declass by Nunes. And that is why I am not a fan of women mma. If Aldana was a contender for a belt, then I wonder how bad all other kittens are in roster.
Her corner keeps on telling him to throw some punches, her counters were really successful but the numbers can be counted in literally the number of fingers in her hands. She just focused on protecting herself like she is too afraid to be taken down or too afraid to be knockdown. I don't like Aldana's performance on that fight, maybe she can show something next time. A better Aldana who can prove that she will be the 4th Mexican to win the title just like Alexa Grasso.
To me Aldana looked like a rookie, that is scared to throw a strike, because he will be open for counter strike. Not going to rewatch their fight, but I dont remember any good strike that Aldana connected. Check out scorecards, she even got 8 for some rounds... And stats shows that Aldana landed only 41 strike, while Nunes 142...

I don’t like women’s MMA, as it is really unpredictable, and most often women fight with their feelings instead of fighting with their head. That’s what makes someone like Khabib Nurmagomedov, so good. Even after so much trash talking from Connor McGregor, he did not move away from his game plan. And honestly, except for a few women, Most of them are not very skillful.


We witnessed an upgraded Oliveira so this could be one of the biggest fights in the lightweight division if ever it will come true.
Imho, I did not see upgraded Oliveira. Same pushing, muay thai and elite grappling, same immediate fall to the back when dangerous. Now the question, who Oliveira gonna face next. Makhachev ? Imho their second fight might be a copy/paste of their first, as Charlie is going to be the same. Winner of Poirier vs Gaethji? Makes no sense, as he has already beaten them.

Charles Oliveira fought really well and far, better compared to Dariush. I would just say that this was not a night for Dariush. The striking of Charles Oliveira was multiple levels above Dariush. Dariush should have given Charles Oliveira a hard time because he is a good wrestler. But he did not even attempt any takedown. It’s like he got beaten down so much that he forgot his strength.

It is obvious that Denver has the big advantage nobody questions that and maybe Miami will not pull a Cavs and win this series, BUT that doesn't mean that they need to lose the next game. They could still make it 3-2 and then lose 4-2 as well and when you are betting that's all that matters.
I guess it is something that the Nuggets won't let it to happen. I mean the game 5 is the most perfect timing to close the series and celebrate in their home crowd as their first NBA championship. Not in game 6 with Miami's home crowd that would be too boring to celebrate your first championship and definitely not in game 7 as it will be the most difficult situation in their entire playoff run. So, the Nuggets would give it all they have to force and close this series out and win it all. Even the sportsbook recognizes it, point spread is more than 7 points in majority favouring the Nuggets to win.

Maybe because the Nuggets are going to go really hard trying to win the next match which is going to give the Miami Heat a better chance to win. Because I believe mistakes will be made by the Nuggets. And the Miami Heat can actually take advantage of that in my opinion. I believe this is a do or die match for the Miami Heat. Because if they lose this match they are losing the finals.

I really want to see the Miami Heat cause some problems for the Nuggets. Personally, I would like to see the Miami Heat win this game. Because that is going to make things a lot more interesting. I also want to see the final get decided on the 7th game.

If that happens, the more bitcoin falls, the more excited I am because there will be a lot of panic sellers, and that's an opportunity for us to own bitcoin at a cheaper price. Be greedy when others are fearful.

And if that happens, then altcoins will be even worse, and I suspect that many altcoins will be gone forever if bitcoin is dumped below $20k again. The past 2 days have been terrible for altcoin holders, most of the shitcoins have dropped 10-20% in the last 2 days. It was a terrible drop while bitcoin and ETH fell not much. Altcoin holders will finally understand what is the best investment this bearish season.

Obviously altcoins will take a greater hit of it, if we eventually get a further drop from here, maybe worst case scenario, we head back donw to test the previous low of $15k which is less likely to happen. In as much as there's gonna be pain in the market seeing your portfolios on red, but there's also a great opportunity there for people to get BTC below $20k if you have reserved cash or a new investors looking up to dive into the market.
Altcoins have been hit hard because the SEC charged them, the SEC declared all altcoins securities, but they ignored bitcoin. That caused panic in the altcoin market.

If bitcoin falls below $20k again, there will be more panic selling than buying, and I think only experienced people, investors who have been through previous bear seasons, will feel the excitement and buy bitcoin. I doubt newbies will buy bitcoin at that point, and that is the difference between successful and failed investors. Many people didn't buy when bitcoin dropped to $16k last year, and I believe they won't when bitcoin drops again.

It's a very difficult and big thing that Pep Guardiola has done, it's been a huge success this year. Manchester City have had very good players in recent years and they are using it very well. They always have a staff and a coach who can achieve success.
I used to see them as a team that can do anything because they have a lot of money, but now I have a lot of respect for how successful they are Smiley
City, is the opposite of PSG. both of these teams, both have abundant finances. the difference is, City is handled by competent people, be it staff, coaches, technical directors, all of whom understand football. while PSG, are not handled by people who understand football. I mean PSG management. as it were, the coach was always to blame. at this point, I do not mean to discredit one of them. it's just that, there are significant differences from my personal point of view. we can see, how great Manchester City in recent years. all that, not always talking big money.
As far as I can remember, the only player City bought expensively was Jack Grealish, even more expensive than when he brought Haaland to the Etihad Stadium.  IMO, one of the things that has made City as successful as it is today is Pep Guardiola and his officials. he built City much better, and in this season, they were able to lift the champions league trophy including 2 other trophies.  I'm not a City fan, but I respect Guardiola a lot with the ability he has.

On the one side, we can see Manchester City doing anything and everything possible to have a good result. Doesn't matter the competition. They are trying to do well in the English Premier League and also the Champions League and also of course in any other competition. That's why they have 5 trophies in this season.

And on another hand, we have PSG who are trying their best to keep mbappe in the team at any cost. It feels like that is the main target of PSG. What is the point of having a great player on the team if you cannot win anything? And what are they trying to achieve when they are giving that kid authority over other players?

I think Lewandowski's performance depends on the supporting players. Even though in this case he also never hesitates to pick up the ball but in terms of performance he is a waiting type striker and how the ball is given to him.

Lewandowski this season has appeared extraordinary and the top scorer is proof that he is one of the deadliest figures for Barcelona so I am still confident about his performance for next season. even though in this case he can't be like now because of some problems I think Barcelona still needs to think about all the conditions to get him out because apart from not having a striker there anymore, Barcelona is still the same with the many problems they have.

Barcelona is performing well, and Robert Lewandowski is certainly someone who contributed a lot for Barcelona in the last season. But I still wonder if he’s going to be able to perform like that in the next season as well. He is a great player, I have no doubt about that. But he is getting older. Barcelona actually needs a young striker who can perform well. That will be the investment for the future of Barcelona. The question is do they have the financial ability to bring in a striker like that? I think Barcelona will go with Robert Lewandowski as the main striker in the next season again.

May closed lower compared to April, of course this is an indication that the market has not recovered, when it was March and the price could skyrocket from $ 22k to more than $ 30k making us optimistic that the bull run will happen soon, unfortunately there is a decline and of course there are many reasons.

And if you look at it, there is one compelling reasons why the price in June has been hindered, it's because SEC decided to file a lawsuit against the top crypto exchanges which is Binance. Now the price goes down again to $25k and it really doesn't look good for the market.

Nevertheless, this is just a setback, just temporary for this year. Long term or at least in the next six months, I'm still seeing that the price might recovered for good, Might not be the bull run that we are expecting. But if we are going to compare it to the price that we have seen in the beginning of this year, then it's a significant jump.


The SEC only attacked Binance.us and some exchanges in the US market, not our entire market. They don't have the power to attack the entire Binance or market, so these effects will pass quickly. Furthermore, a bitcoin drop to $25k or less would be great, not as bad as you're feeling. If you also believe that all will be over soon and bitcoin will recover, then there is no reason not to collect more bitcoins now instead of worrying that things will worsen. We've been through much worse, and we've survived, so I'm not bothered by this little news.

Clearly most people weren't concerned by a correction from $30K, especially after the substantial increase from around $15K. I'm not convinced this will be the same if $25K doesn't hold as support so may well do a poll if this happens. I suspect the correction will go deeper and there could be significant panic selling if price breaks $25K, until another support level like $23K supports the price.
Obviously this can happen because the support is broken, then panic selling will occur.
Bitcoin hasn't really experienced a dump because it only fell -4% or -5%, but the impact it has on altcoins is extraordinary,
look at the altcoins that are bleeding a lot these days.

If that happens, the more bitcoin falls, the more excited I am because there will be a lot of panic sellers, and that's an opportunity for us to own bitcoin at a cheaper price. Be greedy when others are fearful.

And if that happens, then altcoins will be even worse, and I suspect that many altcoins will be gone forever if bitcoin is dumped below $20k again. The past 2 days have been terrible for altcoin holders, most of the shitcoins have dropped 10-20% in the last 2 days. It was a terrible drop while bitcoin and ETH fell not much. Altcoin holders will finally understand what is the best investment this bearish season.

In another news, Arsenal seems to be closing in on contract extension talks with William Saliba [2] who has really impressed Arsenal fans last season and has become a crucial part of the Gunners squad now. Also contract extension talks with Odeegard is still ongoing but that is expected to be done soon also as Odeegard is very crucial to Arsenal in this upcoming season where we have to compete in UCL as well.

Ødegaard has a contract with Arsenal till 2025. I believe this is just going to be done because he deserves a better role in the team. The amount of money will also be changed. But I believe the main reason was to get a better role in the squad.

William Saliba has certainly impressed. Actually, Arsenal as a team had impressed. It is just that Arsenal was not consistent enough towards the end.

Anyway, William Saliba performed well. I believe that the contract extension off him with Arsenal is going to be good for both parties. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal performs in the Champions League.

This has to be a one-sided match. Swiatek, it’s just leaps and bounds better compared to her opponent Muchová. We are talking about the player who is ranked first versus the player who is ranked 43. I don’t think we can predict the match just based on the one head-to-head match that they have at which was also back in 2019. Things have changed a lot since then. I absolutely agree that Swiatek, she’s going to be the winner of this match. For me, it is an 80-20 chance of Swiatek winning.

Swiatek v Muchova WTA final today. Swiatek has been confident and determined so far and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a one way traffic in this one. She had given her opponents a considerable number of bagels and yet to lose a set at this RG . Moreover, I'm pretty sure Muchova hasn't recovered after an exhausting semifinal against Sabalenka. The Czech has spent 5 more hours on court than Iga did (12 vs 7). Although, H2H is 1:0 in favor of Muchova, she managed to win in three sets back in 2019 in Prague. But all in all the outcome of this final looks quite clear to me - Swiatek to win the title.
