141  Economy / Gambling / Re: From $17 to $37000!!! Craziest Crypto Win in 2023!!!! on: January 15, 2024, 05:20:35 PM
Reminds me of the run I recently had on Dplay, when I managed to turn a little over $100 into $4350!! Needles to say your run is more amazing, but this was still arguably one of the best ways to close 2023 I could've thought of

Nice advise, it's an opportunity to the winner to take advantage of because another may not occur again of it's kind, gambling sometimes comes with it's own of benefits to us, but we must realized the fact that it's not something that can happen on a continuous process, it's something not that common to see people winning like that, which means that we should always make use of the privilege in gambling to make something worthwhile for ourselves.
If gambling gives a gambler a chance then using it properly is the most important option for that gambler. This is the story I also read that this gambler got a lot of financial support because of getting a good amount of money, now if he can use this money properly and invest it in good places then he can make this money to a bigger amount.

So along with winning gambling it is also important to do proper money management, due to proper money management a gambler can use his winning money properly to change his current situation. Because there are very few people in gambling who have won huge and are using that money properly.

Everyone's goal in gambling is to win and make a profitable withdrawal. But if you want to win a bet, you have to bet enough money and know how to take risks. Actually, the game is fun as long as you keep winning. But when you lose money, the game would also be toxic to you. 

In the case of winning, money management should be understood very well. First of all, fix a budget for betting on the game and it should be of an amount that won't hurt you too much if you lose. If you win suddenly, you cannot be too greedy and bet large sums of money. Take risks, of course, but not so much that you sit by the wayside. If a good amount is deposited in your account, withdraw or move to the volt it early and bring your gambling habit under control. And of course, it's important to keep a record of every game. Always play safe, don't be jealous of someone else's win.  Because this jealousy will force your mind to invest money beyond the budget which may not have good results.

Gambling is not only about playing but also about knowing the rules and regulations so that entertainment is maintained and big money is not lost. It is important to keep an eye on the rules of money management.

An interesting match between FAA vs Thiem, and now the fourth set after the third set Thiem managed to take it to make the match longer and in the tie break FAA made several mistakes that gave points to Thiem, this is still difficult to predict even though FAA is the favorite to win but it is very possible that this will go to five sets.

Naomi Osaka was not smooth in her comeback in Australia Open, she did not play poorly but Caroline Garcia managed to overcome the pressure well because the crowd was on Osaka's side, and the match lasted two sets with the second tie break.

FAA had to work very hard and I don't think anyone expected that he would have to work so hard to win this match. At least I did not expect that. I thought the match should have been a lot easier for FAA. Remember that this is the first round of the Australian Open. Imagine how hard he will have to work towards the later part of the competition. He will play the next match against Garnier. In my opinion that match should also be easy for him. but who knows,  maybe his opponent will make him work just like he had to in the last match.

Naomi Osaka did try to win this match in my opinion. and I agree that her opponent was just better in this match. it was one of those matches for her,  whatever she was trying was not working out in favour of her.

It's a good sign in my opinion, the price going down means that it's giving us an opportunity to buy more and not think too much about all of this because at the end of the day, bitcoin will inevitably go back up and then go to the moon which it always does, I still don't get why people are so scared and panicky about bitcoin going down in prices when this has happened before and bitcoin reached an ATH.

This is considered a normal reactions for the market price and it won't be that serious because we have already happened to experience such a scenario in the past when the crypto market had some problems, it won't be forever and there will come a time when it will recover and gain much more price in the future based on its past history. While others are in a panic about selling their bitcoins, others are actually celebrating because finally they get a chance to buy low and sell it high in the future or for those investors who want to buy it low and hold it for the long term, this is one of the right time to do that while the price was still low and not so expensive when bull runs come this year.

I was also surprised to see some forum members expressing disappointment about bitcoin's price drop in recent days. Because they are people who have been participating in the market for a long time and they are even one of the people who always urge people to buy bitcoin every time the price drops.

I wouldn't call this the best time or good price to buy because the price has increased quite a bit compared to many months ago. But that's not too bad a price for we can DCA and hold until bitcoin makes a new ATH.

Afghanistan put a decent total on the board, and they have the resources to defend this total against any team. Gulbadin batted beautifully for his fifty, while Arshdeep was the pick of the bowler. That middle phase batting from the Afghan batter tilted the game toward India. India is a very balanced team, and the inclusion of Virat Kohli provided them further lift. I think India should easily chase down this total by looking at the depth and form of their batting. Virat Kohli is on the charge straightaway. If they want to win this match or at least for a close contest, Afghanistan should bowl with intent and in good line and length.
India won the 2nd T20 match is a good style and also won the series with this win.  Afghanistan did score a decent score of 172 runs and lost all wickets in the process. Gulbadin Naib made 57 runs and was the highest score among the New Zealand team. I thought this was a decent score but if their batsmen had batted a bit more responsibility, they could have scored a few 10 to 30 more runs and that might had made the difference.

India chased this score in only the 16th over which shows that India was in full control in this match. Yashasvi Jaiswal made 68 runs and Shivam Dube made 63 runs and these two innings at a good run rate were enough for the Indian team to chase this score. Both of them scored at the strike rate of 200, which was too good to watch.

The final T20 match will be played at Bengaluru, on 17th January but the result of this match will not matter much. India already grabbing the series.  Wink

The pitch was completely batting friendly. So India won't have any problem to win today's match. The target was not small. Even then, India won very easily. The way Afghanistan started their innings, it looked like they would collect 200-plus today. But in the end, Afghanistan team gave the target of 173 runs.

India scored 174 runs in just 15.4 overs losing just four wickets. Rohit Sharma lost form. Rohit's performance was poor in both the matches. Yashashvi Jaiswal and Shivman Dube's excellent batting saw India easily reach the victory target. Jaiswal was dismissed for 68 off just 34 balls. And DUbe was unbeaten on 63 off 32 balls. India won the first two matches of the three-match series very easily. It is expected that India will win the last match as well.

If Giannis demanded a trade just because his brother wasn't on the team, that would be selfish on his part. I mean, it wouldn't be good if Giannis manipulated and blackmailed the Bucks' management just to secure a roster spot for his brother.
I'm more than sure there are a lot of guys with good potential who lose the opportunity to get on the roster just because a player like Thanasis already takes the spot.
Maybe it will be a different scenario now. He already helped his brother make a lot of money and if they are good at managing it perhaps letting him decide where to go from there should be the new option. It's not like that dude is a bad player. He is still a big man that can be used by other teams for bench rebounders and I think other teams will be willing to make him an offer.

Milwaukee Bucks won today but the Golden State Warriors without Stephen Curry gave them a hard time to take the win. Klay Thompson found his rhythm and there's Kuminga who had been showing a phenomenal performance every game. Then there's Brandin Podziemski who tied his career high of 23 points. But, that's not enough to defeat the trio of the Bucks. 3 players, Giannis, Dame, and Middleton all scored beyond 20 points but it was Middleton who put the dagger to win the game, he was shooting lights out and had been playing like an All-Star once again.
Still, Steve Kerr must be happy that his bench showed well today, there was even a time when they got the lead so he must be satisfied with what happened although they lost.

Well, I am not going to talk trash about him just for trying to help his brother. All I want to say is he is obviously going to want the best for his brother. But whether the authority is going to agree or not is another story. At least that's how it should be. If the daughter is pressured to do something which they do not feel is going to be the best for the team just because of a player, that is probably wrong in my opinion.

I can say that the Golden State Warriors are definitely missing the service of Stephen Curry. If he had been with the team, I think this could have been a win for the Golden State Warriors. But anyway, the Bucks performed dwell in this match and got a very well-deserved win.
146  Economy / Speculation / Re: will the btc price reach 100k ? on: January 14, 2024, 03:48:39 PM
What do you guys think?
We hit almost $70k when no traditional market comes in the play and with the exposure right now with the Bitcoin spot ETF that should be entirely possible considering how scarce it is. It may be a bumpy ride before we get on that level but we will get to that level and I don't doubt that possibility.

Even if we don't have ETFs, traditional investors or large institutions investing in bitcoin, bitcoin hitting $100k won't be too difficult. All we need to do is just wait because no one knows exactly when bitcoin will touch the $100k but it will definitely get there without any doubt.
It could be said that the $100k target would be a memorable milestone for bitcoin but I think that target is too modest for the upcoming bull season as the recent ATH was $69k. I have faith that bitcoin can reach $200k in the upcoming bull season, it will not stop at $100k like many people are saying.
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as P2P currency vs Bitcoin as an asset on: January 14, 2024, 03:22:46 PM
To be fair Bitcoin initially was a P2P currency, while now it has become an asset. Everyone here in the forum is always promoting the HODL concept that started from this forum. Maximalists are known to be the biggest accumulators and holders, so why ask this question as we have a lot of maxis here? There was a time when Bitcoin was considered as a P2P currency and that happened before LN was launched. Why was BTCLN even decided? The reason is that the main chain cannot help with adopting Bitcoin.

The forum was once flooded with topics comparing Bitcoin with Gold and even the mainstream media started doing it. Why? Because, after 2017 ATH Bitcoin was never considered a P2P currency even countries such as Argentina treat it as an asset class. The country of El Salvador has already implemented BTCLN with its localized wallet to increase the usability of Bitcoin as a legal tender.
Yes, we are the ones who turned bitcoin into an asset, but even though it is an asset, an investment, it has never lost its peer-to-peer currency feature. It may not be recognized and become a commonly used currency, but also no one can prohibit us from using it as a P2P currency if we need to use it and no one can remove the P2P feature of bitcoin.

Most of us here are bitcoin investors, very few people use it as currency, but that doesn't mean no one uses it as currency. Right on this forum, I don't remember each person's exact name, but sometimes I still meet some people who are using and spreading bitcoin as a currency, not everyone considers it an investment like us. Therefore, in my opinion, no matter how much bitcoin value increases and is recognized by the government as a commodity, asset...it will never lose its P2P feature.

Chelsea was not able to win the match against Middlesbrough. But I think that was expected from almost everyone. So I don't think it is going to make a lot of difference in the perspective for people.
That could be wrong. Many fans were excited and had high expectations for the match against Preston, confident that Chelsea would come out victorious, especially since they were facing a seemingly easier opponent like Middlesbrough. The reality said the opposite thing which is making so many fans are feeling so desperate to the club. Even there were some fans are starting to surrounding PochOUT on twitter. People were getting excited after chelsea destroyed preston with 4 goals. Yet they were getting disappointed result like this which is hurting their fans.

Yes, I think I could be wrong. Chelsea really lost that match. And a lot of people obviously wanted Chelsea to win that much. But they were unable to do so. At this point, I do not know what to expect from Chelsea, to be honest. The Preston match was easy for Chelsea. And we did not think that Chelsea was going to lose the match after that. I agree Middlesbrough is not a very hard opponent. But that does not seem to be the case for Chelsea


And to be frank I do think that they need to change the coach. Because he is not bringing in the best results. He is not even bringing in the result that can be counted as average for Chelsea to be honest. Especially after spending so much money, they should be able to bring in far better results compared to what they are bringing in. so I don't think the authority is going to be happy with the coach. I think it is going to be better if they take a bold step and change the coach. Because I think they have tried everything with this coach and it is not working.
If chelsea keeps performing like shit then should not the club sack him out from chelsea? Pochettino was a disaster for the club and he brought the club to perform even worst than before. I can still appreciate the players but it's not for pochettino.
Sterling shall not be placed in the regular squad too. He was so dumb as a winger and so selfish. Chelsea was rarely giving pressure to the its opponents and it was always doing backpass and other shitty pass.

I think the Chelsea situation has become pretty unique. Chelsea is being able to bring in a few wins here and there. And using that, the coach is saying he is bringing in results. What we all know is that the results are not good enough for a club like Chelsea. No, I see Chelsea being able to win three matches in a row in the English Premier League. I am pretty sure that the coaches going to use that and say he is trying his best to bring in results and he just needs more time.

Chelsea was able to win against Fulham.. but it was also because of a penalty, Smiley

FC Bayern Munich 3 - 0 TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

It was a very good and easy game for Bayern who didn't waste a chance to come away with 3 points in this game, the opponent was a medium level team in terms of difficulties, that's why I didn't see any danger of Bayern losing in that game, so I put Bayern in my parlay and as expected from Bayern, they won the game without having any difficulties.


Yes, nice win, the result from Bayern Munich was definitely expected. They were able to win the match and they were also able to win pretty comfortably. All the things that they were able to do were. They are goal difference. I think that is going to help them a lot going forward. Because they have played one match less compared to Leverkusen and the point difference is four right now. So the goal difference might come in very handy later on.


Augsburg 0 - 1 Leverkusen


so I was worried about leverkusen being the team that would be unlucky to lose to them, and when I saw that the game was already in the 90 minutes I thought the game would end in a draw, I've already seen my bet being lost, since I added leverkusen to my parlay, so if the game ended in a draw I would have lost my bet. but I was happy when Leverkusen scored a goal and won the game

I actually thought that Leverkusen might not win the match. But they were able to somehow find a way to score on the 94th minute of the match. I never bet on anything ever. I want to get that out of the way first. But I just want to see Bayern Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title this season.

What are thoughts as well?

I completely agree with your thoughts and I thought about this a month ago as news about ETFs grew. Once the ETF is approved, it can be said that Coinbase(COIN) stock will be the biggest beneficiary, and the reason is as you mentioned. Furthermore, Coinbase also announced that they will soon expand their market and allow investors worldwide to use their platform. As far as I know, everything is being prepared and they will soon release a global version of coinbase exchange for users everywhere in the world. I thought about it but in the end, I didn't invest because I don't like investing in stocks, I prefer cryptocurrencies and forex.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF officially approved! on: January 11, 2024, 12:13:33 PM
This may not be normal as bitcoin ETFs should be able to bring more money into the market which then causes prices to increase drastically - but it may take some time for this news to be confirmed. If this news is true - then I think the market is really going to party in the next little while. Let's wait and see how he reacts.
Perhaps it was true and officially approved but unfortunately, the impact is not overwhelming as people are still confused about the announcement due to hacking incidents. The slow response is likely what we experience but who knows in the coming days, some individuals may be just waiting for some clarifications.  Or maybe, we just assume that this (pump) would happen and it fails. I'd rather think that halving is more influential than this.
Anyways, let us see what will happen the next couple of day otherwise, the majority are wrong.
The approval news was posted all over social networks and major newspapers. I don't think anyone is confused and unaware of the news that ETFs have been approved.

I'm not too surprised that bitcoin didn't react too strongly to this news. In the past 2 months, bitcoin also increased a lot because of ETF-related news, and the increase in bitcoin's price is not a recovery due to increased bitcoin demand or for any reason. Therefore, it is understandable that bitcoin no longer increased strongly when the ETF was approved.
152  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 11, 2024, 11:25:29 AM
I slightly disagree with what you said that people who live from just one source of income can become poor at any time, because many people live from just one source of income and can build a house and buy a vehicle and live well. And what's more, not everyone has the opportunity to have more than one source of income. So I think it's no problem living from one source of income, the most important thing is how you can make good use of that money and not use it for something that is not needed and always save for the future.
What you say is very true, those who have one income can still meet the needs they need and can also build their house, but they have to save to be able to fulfill what they want and not use their money for needs they don't really need.
Indeed, for some people who have time to work from morning to evening it is very difficult to find additional income and if they force themselves to have other sources of income of course they will be very tired and will not be able to have enough rest time, I agree with you there is no What's wrong with having one source of income If we can manage it well, of course we can get what we want.
I have an uncle who is a doctor and he is very rich, he doesn't even have enough time to work and has no time to rest, let alone have to work part-time to increase his income. One source of income or multiple sources of income depends on each person, we cannot look at it and say that anyone who has one source of income will be poor. Only people with income from their main job try to find other sources of additional income, while people with good jobs and high positions do not need to spend time doing part-time jobs.

By the way, I agree with what lovesmayfamilis said, even if we eliminate the things OP mentioned, it won't make us rich.

Mind blowing, this great tool could change the mind of those who doubts casino from time to time, unfortunately this is only for Bustabit, I have never use this casino before and having this great tool makes me want to try the casino out already, well done brother.

Imagine how things will be if all casinos have such tool, gamblers will have a ease mind on games they play, even when they lose their money they will feel good about it knowing that there is no cheat code running in the background that's benefiting the casino more.

I can't even recollect how many gamblers have raised some suspicious of how a casino gaming feels like cheating to them, this tool will make people trust Bustabit even more, I trust that this is going on behind the scene because we don't know but those who knows will use the casino more than others.

Yes, Bustabit is an amazing platform for players, only those who use it can tell. Like Bustabit such a fairness and transparency in online casinos are preeminent for building up an optimistic impression of bettors. every well-known gambling house should adopt a similar gimmick to reveal their fairness, then really it could impact and reinforce gambler's trust. In this way, online casinos are losing players due to scamming can bring back the player's interest in online casinos to the gaming platform. I believe that if the fraud rate in casinos can be reduced and more conveniences can be increased then online casinos will revolutionize. If the threat of scamming is removed, the number of players will increase, and the casino will also regain popularity. This is an important step towards restoring confidence in online gambling platforms by dispelling apprehensions.

today's match in the efl cup midlesbourgh vs chelsea.
and until now chelsea is still behind 1-0. even the championship division answer chelsea hassles. clearly shows the quality of chelsea is less able to compete in the premiere league. even though his player spending is crazy maybe because the price is overate and the coach is less able to build a team and buy players that fit his game scheme.
No one cares about Chelsea today, whatever the situation, they are always lost and lost. 400 million pounds just for landing on the 10th stand is shamed for clubs who have expensive players like Moises Caicedo, (115 pounds). 22 matches is a lot if Pochetino can't adapt yet, he look stuck and don't know what should he do to get win and delight fans. I think, with all the great players chelsea have, Chelsea must think about changing clever tactician asap, Pochetino is good, but in past, before everyone in premier league knew the tactics, today all premier club knows how to beat Pochetino tactics even chelsea have good defender and  midfielder.

What do you think?, Does Chelsea need to change coach?

155  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you work toward hodling bitcoin? on: January 10, 2024, 12:37:09 PM
earn through altcoin and save it to bitcoin, this is most feasible way so far for me, might differ for other people but this way easily double your long term profit.
also, this way you are not worrying about selling the bitcoin since it acts like your investment you can be waiting for as long as it can to get the most of the bullish market, therefore would work out so well for your long term investment.
i believe there are many people that are also doing the same trading in altcoin, doing some airdrop and save the final result in bitcoin, but some people might not favour it because the volatility of bitcoin that sometime indeed affect the overall situation of our portfolio but then again if our vision from the start is to hold it until it reaches the all time high we aren't gonna be fazed by such thing instead we just continue to hold it for even longer term.

This is a way to increase bitcoin in our portfolio but it is not always as successful and easy as we are talking. Because the movement of altcoins is completely dependent on bitcoin, once bitcoin drops, most altcoins will fall as well. Even if bitcoin only drops 2-5%, many altcoins can drop 20-30%, so how can you increase your bitcoin count when your short-term investment in altcoins is not as expected? I have also tried this method and I only feel it is effective when you really have enough knowledge and skills to analyze and find altcoins with short-term price increase potential. Otherwise, this idea will be very difficult to implement because it is easy to say but not simple to do.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 10, 2024, 11:02:21 AM
The fact that there are only 5 points to Fiorentina (fourth place) does not mean anything at all. In such situations, you need to take into account the number of teams that are in front of you. For example, if there was only one point to fourth place, but there were 100 teams ahead of Napoli, then Napoli’s chances of overtaking them all would be practically zero. Now there are as many as five teams ahead of Napoli and this is a large enough number that, despite the formally small gap, we can assume that Napoli’s chances are very low. Maybe a change of coach will give some kind of shake-up to the team, but at the moment it is not very clear how Napoli can seriously strengthen.

I don't think it's impossible for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League yet. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will still play 19 more matches. So the scenario is likely to change. But for that, Napoli need to play well and win consistently. Napoli team is 5 points behind Fiorentina in the fourth place in the table. Napoli are also now ninth in the points table. There is still a chance to finish fourth in the table with consistent good performances and wins. But as Napoli are currently performing poorly, the chances of Napoli winning every match in a row is very low.
Napoli chance of finishing in 4th position is in their hands, but if they fail to improve their performance and win most of their matches, I don't think that it is be possible for them because the clubs ahead of Napoli also trying their best to see that they can qualify for UCL too.

It will be a big challenge for them because of their current form and their coach can't come up with a good game strategy to see if it will work out, since the old one is not favoring them. I feel for Napoli each time that I see them struggle to win a match and they end up losing the match. The defending champions are now vulnerable to small clubs.

I will actually say that them being in the 9th position already is definitely a red flag. It has not been half of the season. And they are already in the 9th position. Even though the point difference is not very big, it is going to be hard for them to actually decrease the point difference. And remember they are the defending champions. So if our better performance was expected from them. It is probably not going to be a bad thing to assume that they are not defending the title successfully. But of course, a lot of things can happen. Maybe the performance will improve for them quickly. But the way they are performing, I don't see them suddenly going into the top 4/3 positions anytime soon.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 09, 2024, 09:35:57 PM
After all, the competition for the Premier League title always has surprises to follow from season to season.
If last season there was Newcastle, maybe this season Aston Villa will be among the teams projected to be the strongest candidates to win the Premier League.
Why do you even think Aston villa might win the league this season? Seriously am counting the  club which you mentioned above out, I know premier league is just kind of unpredictable, but maybe Aston villa can win the league another season, but not this season. Aston villa performed well at the beginning of the season, but there performance have really dropped lately, they are struggling with teams weaker than them, just the same way Arsenal performance have dropped. You not mentioning Liverpool or Manchester City to win the league, am surprised to see the two clubs you mentioned.

Aston Villa improved considerably these years, yet I doubt they could overtake all of Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester City by the end of the season. They might pick a place in Champions League, they might be able to be above of one or two of these teams but definitely not above all them.
From April until the end of the season, Aston Villa games will be harder than now since they will face Manchester City, Arsenal, Brighton, Chelsea and Liverpool.

I know Aston Villa are performing well this season but I don't think they will be winning the Premier League this season. It is not that easy. Manchester City is back in their form and Liverpool are looking as sharp as they were at the starting of the season. I think it's about time that Manchester City will take over Aston Villa in the Points table. They dropped a few points recently, losing to a struggling Manchester United. And if they were to win the Premier League, they would not have dropped points there.  Manchester City has 2 points less than them while playing 1 match less.

So if they win their next match, they will get ahead of them. Aston Villa is a strong candidate for the UCL spot but then again I think they would have to fight very hard for it against Spurs, Arsenal. Arsenal has been bottling lately and Spurs are not far away from them.

It seems that India Women team will not be able to win this run. In the previous matches, Australia Women  The team has performed well. If we see the last 5 matches of both teams, Australia Women team is leading. Australia Women team has won 3 matches out of 5 matches and lost 2 matches. On the other hand, India Women team has won 2 matches and lost 3 matches out of 5 matches.  So I still don't understand how well India Women team can do in today's match.
Congrats Australia women squad for this amazing victory in today match as well as for winning this competition from India women sqaud. India women squad performance in today match was not impressive and they also was not collected good run rate in 3rd match of T20 competition. Australia Women sqaud emerged victory in match very simply 7 batters and 8 deliveries remained for play. Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy these starters played a important role in today match because of their fantastic batting inning performance that Australia women sqaud achieved a victory in this match and total defending target was 147 scores. Beth Mooney batter collected 55 scores and Alyssa Healy batter collected 52 scores. Total 149 scores collected by Australia women sqaud in 18.4 scores.

This was definitely easy in the end for Australian women to win. And I also think that the Indian women should have been given a bigger target for Australian women. And let's also remember that the Australian team had given away 15 extra runs for India. Otherwise, India could have only got 132.

Anyway, it is a part of the game but still, India did not get enough to actually give Australia a problem. India at least needed to get somewhere around 165. Australia was able to reach the total with seven wickets in hand and also having eight balls left. Even 160 could have been a lot more challenging. But anyway, congratulations to the Australian women's team to be able to win this t20 series against India.

Brazil had a bit of a managerial issue and seems like they have recovered that and hired someone now, and I believe that they are going to get better. Also, it is not really like their entire doom or anything if they end up not having a great year, they may get eliminated once, and that would still be fine, it is not a big deal.

Just let them get better, they do not have all that amazing team right now, and with time there will be better kids who will take up the jersey and will do better. Brazil is a football culture nation, they are not going to end up being terrible just because of a few seasons, they may miss some cups and do badly and they will still be fine. When was the last time they won something? It's fine, it should not be a big deal.
The current Brazil team manager has been relieved of his duties due to consecutive failures in the World Cup qualifiers but there is no word yet on who has been appointed as the new manager. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was supposed to take charge of the Brazilian team, but he extended the contract with Real Madrid, which means that even in this season, Real Madrid is not getting this manager. In that case, maybe we are going to see a different manager to perform the duties of Brazil. I don't have any idea who the next manager will be, but whoever is given the responsibility of the next manager, the Brazilian football organization CBF must think carefully and then give the responsibility because they gave someone the responsibility before and he didn't do his job properly.

A good team but lack of a good manager, if a good manager takes charge of this team, the performance of this team will change a lot.

I will also say that Brazil is a good team but probably not a balanced team. Course the coaching has been a problem for them. But at the same time, the game is not very balanced which has been a problem for them. But I think the change of authority is actually going to matter because they will be able to do better in my opinion. I don't know if they are going to win the next World Cup or not of course. Because that level of improvement is going to take time just like it did with Argentina. But it is definitely not impossible if approached correctly, right?

About Benzema i think he was failed to adapt with the atmosphere of Saudi Pro League so that's why the fans were starting to complaining to his performance although this season he has scores 9 goals but it didn't make the fans satisfied with his performance because they expect Benzema can scores more goals with Al Ittihad besides that Benzema also rumoured he has a conflict with Al Ittihad previous manager Nuno Espirito Santo and this also causes Espirito Santo have to sacked
Some of European players has starting not too comfortable to playing at Saudi Pro League including Benzema this because they failed to adapt with this league and some people predict those players had possibilities to leave Saudi Pro League this January and for Benzema too the recent rumour is this player maybe will leave Al Ittihad and he was linked to Manchester United

I have big doubts about his problem being the atmosphere. I think he is lacking the willpower to work for his money. Benzema had his luckiest moment ever when he became the best player in the world and out of a sudden the teams from the Saudi Professional League wanted him, but he is different than Ronaldo actually. Ronaldo really wants to score the most goals, that is the least he can do and he will do it whenever he can. Benzema doesn't care about becoming the goal scorer and he knows that nobody can take away the salary from him. That is why he doesn't behave like a professional. He plays like an amateur and can't get himself going again. It's like a scam to me, but the Saudi clubs are the ones who are wasting their money, so I don't care.

Well in the grand scheme of things I don't think that the Saudi clubs are actually wasting money. Because they wanted to improve the popularity of their club and the whole of Saudi football. They are successfully doing that by bringing in these very players. Now of course it is going to matter for the individual clubs if the player is going to perform well or not. But they are actually achieving what they wanted in some way.

But the way Benzema is performing right now, it is definitely hurting the club. And I don't think anyone can actually deny that benzema was very lucky in that year which he was the best player of the world. A lot of goals that he scored were very lucky. But he did deserve that in that year. But now it's like a different person.
