Actually there is no fundamental reason for Graham Potter to rest his players after returning from the World Cup, because I think the time they get after the end of the World Cup is enough for them to recover physically, unless Graham Potter doesn't want his players to be in the main squad. in that match. It would be a shame if Graham Potter did not make the most of their players who shone at the Qatar World Cup, especially when they were in bad shape. Players like Hakim Ziyech could break the deadlock from Chelsea's current game. I think he should be included in the starting line-up, but it's all up to him now.
Agreed about this now with the current form and position of Chelsea; it's good time to have better impression and performance for the future with these players because they have already done good job and having long rest is ok for these professional players and as they will be joined their team and give the best this could be helpful for the club and their confidence as well Hakim Ziyech is surely going to be had good time in coming weeks with Mateo Kovacic is one of the best products from Croatia after their another fabulous performance like France even they fall behind into semifinal but still having one of the bet teams in last world cup with their quality and performance.

Chelsea will have to improve and they should also be able to improve their performance. You know, Chelsea did not win even one match in the last five. That is not good for them at all. I also agree that the break should be able to help them regroup. I believe that Chelsea has some very good players in the squad. But the main problem is that they have not scored good enough goals and they have also not defended well. The goal difference between Chelsea is currently zero. That is just not good enough for a team like Chelsea.

I think a big problem is the players not having good chemistry with each other. And that tactics are also not so convincing. They brought the new coach in for better results but they are not achieving that. Actually, they are achieving the worst results.

Really surprised to see Napoli lose their first friendly after the World Cup. The match did not show any signs of the kind of excellent performance they had before the World Cup. Hope they will come back in the next match.
In friendly matches, Napoli don't want to bring out their true strength because they know that it doesn't give them an advantage, so in the match against LOSC, they are not too serious and only for normal training, whereas in Serie A League matches, Napoli will show their true strength and make it difficult for opponents to control the defense.
A bit surprised that with the result from the match but im sure if that was not the real napoli yet the result may also become a signal if napoli may also perform so bad during the match against intermilan. Napoli must not continue that shitty result against another team or it will be affecting the mentality from the player. I can't believe if napoli lose against mediocre team like that. Will napoli continue the bad trend to lose a lot of goals against another team? Will inter destroy napoli in the upcoming match on serie a? That's very interesting question for us

I have to say that I am really surprised by the scoreline of this Napoli game after the World Cup. Although I have to say that this was a friendly match but conceding four goals against a mid-tier team is unacceptable in my opinion. Maybe I think the players are a bit tired after the World Cup. But I really think that the coach should work on the tactics better and see what went wrong and try to fix the problems as soon as possible. I really hope that Napoli will be able to turn around in the next game.

In a situation, when some of my relatives needs money for expensive operation, we dont have enough fiat money to cover expenses, without hesitation I would immediately sell crypto. In other words, life or death situation will force me to sell. And, probably, if I would run so much out of money, I would sell a bit of crypto just to survive until I find a solution.
Of course, there is no reason to keep bitcoin forever while our health is in trouble, our loved one is in danger, or in need of money. Bitcoin is the vehicle that serves our lives, we do not serve bitcoin. If I have financial difficulty and have no other way, I will not hesitate to sell my bitcoins to solve the problem or help my loved one. Bitcoin can be traded easily anywhere, anytime, as long as we have the money, so selling or holding bitcoin is not so important in difficult times.
1544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is fiat to Bitcoin? on: December 24, 2022, 03:28:29 AM
I don’t know what’s got into this post but fiat does not mean anything to the bitcoin except one thing, it’s just giving us the way to measure its weightage / cost/ value you name it. It’s simple idea, the way you just say one dollar equals to one dollar. In similar ways if you imagine the world where we only have bitcoin around the globe then who would have thought about bitcoin and fiat pair anyways? We just be saying that bitcoin is equal to one bitcoin and that’s all it need. So for me fiat does not matter much considering you are not selling it for fiat.

Fiat does not need to be as sublime as bitcoin, but with only one thing, which is to become the world currency, and the value of bitcoin is also measured in fiat, that alone is enough to show the importance of fiat. We are bitcoin investors we all know bitcoin is amazing but the benefits and importance of fiat should not be denied. If you think fiat doesn't matter, why wait for bitcoin to drop to 16k to buy, not buy bitcoin when it's at 70k? Fiat is still important, mate.

$250 million is not a small amount, and it is surprising when they say that there is no money to pay the investor but can spend 250 million just to let SBF be released. I remember not long ago the SBF himself said that the amount in his account is now no more than 100k dollars and he is about to go empty-handed but now he can spend big money just to be with his parents during the trial of the case. I wonder where this money is coming from, who can fund SBF?

But as far as I know, Eagle FC is growing in popularity quite quickly. I wanted to say that even though it only started recently, it will take them a long time to get close to UFC's popularity.
Sorry, but with Eagle FC you are wrong. If you examine MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... topics last 10-20 pages, you will rarely see an Eagle FC there. Try to google this promotion. Their webpage hasnt been updated with latest info for a while. It looks like Khabib does not have much free time to develop his promotion.

It is actually sad to see that eagle FC is not doing as well as it should be. I think it had a lot of potentials. And yes, you are right. Eagle FC is nowhere near as popular as the other, Bellator, KSW, and others. I think at the start it showed really great potential. But after all, every fighter is going to dream about fighting in the UFC.



If you think that I am wrong, then what were the times when "UFC were in prime"?
Another thing is, I said UFC is not in its prime. There are two reasons for that.
First of all as far as we know the pay-per-view is decreasing day by day. And obviously, I am obliged to say that prime time was when Conor McGregor was in his prime. He was bringing unbelievable numbers for Dana White. So, I believe that was prime time for UFC. And the popularity of UFC is certainly not the same as it was at that time.
And secondly, I am sure we are all aware of a certain wrestling organization named WWE. I don’t think Dana White is doing a good enough job when something fake is generating more annual revenue. I want UFC to surpass the popularity of WWE.
Take a look attendance number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFC_events. You would see that they are growing every year. To bad UFC does not share each event PPV numbers. But I think they will be on more or less same level.

I agree that the popularity of the UFC is not decreasing. But my opinion is that it should be growing at a higher rate. After all, it is the best mixed martial art organization ever in the world.

When we think about that standard, to me, it feels like UFC should be doing better. I am not trying to just talk shit about the UFC. I am trying to say that UFC should hold a lot higher standards for themselves. And I think that can start by being the fighters more, I really do not think that the fighters are getting paid enough.



Another thing is, I said UFC is not in its prime. There are two reasons for that.

I don't think you really explain the reasons behind those things.  First off, the UFC has been wildly successful as a business.  When it started taking investment at crazy valuations it was pumping tons of money into the brand to boost that valuation.  I think now we're at the stage where the investments have been made, the brand was built, and now they're collecting the money.  Once the money machine is running, they don't need that same focus on getting their brand introduced to the masses.

WWE is a money machine that has been rolling for a long time.  It's ok to not beat them in every measurement every year.

UFC as the biggest MMA organization in the world should be doing better in my opinion. Yes, they are in a profit. But I think they might show some of that profit to the fighters as well. My thinking between the UFC versus the WWE started when I saw almost all the WWE fighters, or I think I should say entertainers have a very luxurious lifestyle. But in the UFC the fighters are asking for a raise which UFC is not giving them. I think UFC has enough money to give more to the fighters. I believe that the fighters are entitled to it.

Karim Benzema deserve more years to stay in Real Madrid, because he has contributed so many things to make Real Madrid the most strongest team in the la Liga league competition. I believe, Real Madrid coach will consider some things they have achieved through the help of Karim Benzema to wait until he recover from his injury, since he has prepared his mind to resign from their international team. The major focus of Karim Benzema after recovering is the area to increase his goals so that those that think he cannot perform well after the injury can testify by themselves.
Karim Benzema is an outstanding striker for the los blancos and his presence in the team is not questionable because he's one of the best experience attacker in real Madrid and also laliga. Benzema injury have lasted over a month and this might actually affect his pending contract for real madrid. Florentino Pérez only extends contract with fully fit players and looks like the 35 years old frenchman will no longer be consistent in games at club level, that's the more reason he retired from international game so he could focus mainly on his club career.

You are right. Real Madrid management does not extend contracts to older or unfit players. Benzema has been injured for a long time. If he is not with the squad and does not perform well this season, Pérez will drop Benzema from the squad next season. Pérez will forget Benzema's contribution to Real Madrid. And so Benzema has now retired from his national team, and he wants to focus solely on Madrid's performance. And he is keen to stay in Madrid for a few more seasons.

Quote from: RILWAN
As far as I know Manchester city have not had any disappointing previous year and in the last season, Manchester City still came top of the league table and even played in the finals of championship finals. So at this point even though their below Arsenal currently on the table but with time the club will recover.
Manchester city Carry some potential skills that made them difference from other teams in terms of excellent performance, which they are capable to demonstrate what will surprise people in their remaining matches. They are in a good position to takeover this first position from Arsenal in this premier league table, to prepare the mind of their fans that they are able to win this title again. Arsenal can only drag second position in this season, because Manchester city will not allow any teams to takeover that first position than to use all their strategies to make it happen again in this season.
Since Manchester City began to win the English Premier League title, they have never won it with clear record. It is either 1 point difference with Liverpool or goal difference or the competition will be on the last day of the matche.
I believe that it will not be easy for Manchester City to close the 5points of Arsenal.

The Premier League is a very competitive league. There is not much difference between the teams in the points table. Every team is strong. Due to this, the points gap between the teams is very small. The city is 5 points behind Arsenal. 5 points don't seem like much. However, if Arsenal continues to perform consistently well, without losing the truck, it will be impossible for Manchester City to reduce the gap of 5 points. But anything can happen in the Premier League. Both Manchester City and Arsenal both could lose trucks, and it wouldn't be surprising if one of the other teams won the title.

Bayern already linked with several players like the goal keeper from croatia livakovic, goal keeper of argentina E.Martinez and bayern already rumoured to bring back alexander nubel from monaco. It seems like that bayern seeing injury that happened with neuer as the serious thing that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Bayern may get the new goal keeper in january. Im sure that if the main option must be to bring the alexander nubel back to bayern and second option was buying the new keeper that is having a good performance now.
the best possibility I believe is to buy the Argentine goalkeeper who is performing very well, Emiliano Martinez. although the option to repatriate Nubel also has a big possibility. but I think more about Munich will be strengthened by a new goalkeeper in the winter transfer market.
if Munich doesn't get Martinez, the option to send Nubel back will be exercised. it all depends on the negotiations that will take place.

30-year-old Emiliano Martinez will make Bayern Munich even stronger. Emiliano Martinez is very experienced. And he can perform well without faltering under a lot of pressure. I would say one of the biggest reasons why Argentina became world champions was the amazing performance of Emiliano Martinez. He has performed well in every match. But will Aston Villa agree to leave Emiliano Martinez at this moment? Aston Villa may be persuaded to sell him if Bayern Munich offers a higher price.

Bangladesh scored 38 runs in 14 overs after coming to the field to play the 2nd Test match. Looking at the game, I don't understand how many runs Bangladesh can score. However, Bangladesh players have not lost any wickets.
Today's Test match between Bangladesh vs India was held at Mirpur Stadium.  However, Bangladesh started batting early and lost 2 wickets for 82 runs.  Nazmul Hasan scored 24 runs off 57 balls and Zakir Hasan scored 15 runs off 34 balls to get out of the Test match today.  But they should have lasted longer as the Test match required more runs for Bangladesh.

We are not getting a good performance from Bangladesh today like in the last match. Even today Bangladesh's top order failed. Bangladesh lost three wickets for just 82 runs. The pitch is not batting-friendly at all. But the batsmen should have performed a bit more cautiously. Bangladesh will be in trouble if they collect less than 300 in the first innings. If Bangladesh wants to win or fight for victory in this match then they need to score at least 300 runs. The experienced Muminul and Mushfiqur are now at the crease. If these two batsmen form a big pair, Bangladesh will be able to collect big.

It's def wrong to say the UFC is past its prime.  As a company, it's more than thrice over larger than what it was 10 years ago and they're still growing.  They have the biggest PPV events in MMA, biggest non PPV events and obv have the biggest roster of fighters.  And it's not just that, they have most of the best fighters in MMA.
And it's funny how the other guy doubles down and says the Eagle FC is close to the UFC's level.  Khabib is just starting to realize how hard it is to be a promoter.
But I will say this, there was a time when it was the golden years in the UFC from a fan's perspective.  It was when Demetrious Johnson, Dominic Cruz, Aldo, GSP, Anderson Sliva, Jon Jones and Cain were all title holders at the same time.  Good times.
I have re-read his post and is seems that he said opposite - "there is no MMA promotion that is close to UFC level of fame". But the fact that he has mentioned Eagle FC shows that he is a new guy here Cheesy Bellator seems to be the most popular and biggest among "MMA but not UFC" promotions. Strikeforce used to be one step below UFC. They also had regular events, big name and huge rewards. But UFC bought them Cheesy I think he is confusing crazy hype and overall popularity. During Khabib vs McGregor, world media was indeed more on a hype than today.
Did you notice, that after Drew Dober beat Bobby Green this weekend, he has now in lightweights top15, and, we see no Tony Ferguson there now Smiley

I very well understand what you’re trying to convey. You guys are saying that UFC is obviously the biggest MMA organization ever. I absolutely agree with that.

You guys are also saying that I should not have compared UFC with Eagle FC. I will admit that it was not a suitable comparison. But as far as I know, Eagle FC is growing in popularity quite quickly. I wanted to say that even though it only started recently, it will take them a long time to get close to UFC's popularity.

I think UFC is going easy on him because a lot of people have been talking about the prime days of UFC already gone. I think I saw this in a YouTube short where Jake Paul was talking about the UFC and not being the one great MMA organization that it once was. Even though I do not think that Jake Paul is that much intelligent human being, I have to say I agree with him on this point.
Because if we look at the past, we will see that UFC had multiple fighters, actually a lot of fighters who could bring in a good amount of revenue. A lot of fighters could still fight. But now they have only a few. Probably that is one reason UFC did not want to keep him away for a longer period of time. Because then there comes a chance of the fighter switching to other combat sports like boxing where he will make a lot more money.
However, even though you say that their prime days are gone, each and every kid that is in combat sports dreams to get into UFC. Still a lot of fighters goal is to sign a contract with UFC. Even though first contract is only 3 fights with 10+10k reward, it is nothing, compared to what they spend.

As you have mentioned boxing - it is easier to become a professional, to train, to become a good boxer, rewards are many times greater. Yet kids dont want to be professional boxers and earn millions. They want to be in UFC. Quite strange for a dying UFC, dont you agree ?  

I am going to stick to my words and say that UFC is not in its prime days anymore. But as you said, the dream of every kid as a fighter is to fight in the UFC. Because even though UFC is not in its prime anymore, UFC is still the biggest mixed Martial art organization till now.

I don’t think there is any organization that can even get close to the UFC. The popularity of the UFC has certainly decreased, but still, other organizations like the Eagle FC or anything else have not even come close to that UFC. I think there is another reason for that which is a lot of popular fighters are choosing to go into boxing right now because that brings a lot more money than the UFC.

Another thing is, I would say, that the popularity of the UFC is certainly decreasing, but not at a level that can be considered as “dying“.

Dehydroepiandrosterone - that is what USADA found in him.

That crap does not look like a pill that you take once once you have a headache. You take it constantly to gain advantage. 6 month ban was truly a vacation for Green, specially if in their contract it is said that UFC are obliged to give a fighter 2-3 fights per year. I think 1 year ban + a fine from UFC is a minimum what a fighter that gets caught should get.

I think UFC is going easy on him because a lot of people have been talking about the prime days of UFC already gone.

I wish we will see that kind of consistency from Poole, honestly, I didn't expect them to win because of their bad performance in their previous game, but it was so surprising that they not only beat the Raptors, but they also dominated them. Poole is just inconsistent, that's why it's hard to trust the Warriors, it's good to trust them if they are a heavy underdog just like their game against the Raps.
What kind of consistency are you looking for? Like 40+ a game? There's only a handful of players who can do that hehe. He seems the type of player that excels when he's given more chance or time with the ball so it's up to the coach to take advantage of that. Hard to come up with big numbers when he's not the main guy task with most of the scoring.

Poole has been pretty decent this month actually.

Poole has certainly carried the Warriors in this match. We thought that the Warriors were going to face a lot of difficulties because they do not have the usual carrier Stephen Curry. But that was not the case. Poole played really well and didn’t let anyone feel the absence of Stephen Curry. He scored 43 very significant points for the Warriors.

Surely, this was going to be a tough road for the Warriors, the road to the playoffs. But if the other players can play like this, there should be no problem for them, even without Stephen Curry.

Actually they really have to find a replacement for Manuel Neuer, I mean Neuer will definitely be replaced, but with what he is experiencing now, Bayern Munich has to look for it faster than it should. There are several names that are being targeted by Bayern Munich, and those names are goalkeepers who performed well during the Qatar World Cup. Croatia goalkeeper, Morocco goalkeeper is one of the many names that are now their target players. I'm sure they will get the goalkeeper they are hoping for in the transfer window.
After Sadio Mané injury another big setback for the Bayern Munich as they lost heir first priority goalkeeper with mostly he will join again after in next season and Bayern Munich is having their top rank back after tough fight, so things are looking not easy for them with now they are going to face PSG in knock out round as well hopefully they will be able to have suitable replacement in January transfer window which will help them for having better performance.

Now they have few good options like Moroccan goalkeeper and few others like Croatia, hopefully Bayern Munich management will be able to have quick approach for them and bring quality replacement because now things are not easy, and they have to give their best for this spot as well.

Bayern Munich now have a few lackings in their squad, especially at the goalkeeper and striker positions. Manuel Neuer has been aging and his form is dipping it is quite clear on his games, so he needs a replacement as soon as possible.

Some goalkeepers from the World Cup, such as Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livaković and Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, are going to amaze all football fans during this tournament. And I am pretty sure that Bayern Munich are going to have their eyes on those keepers. The transfer window is about two weeks away from us and I am excited to see who Bayern Munich recruit.

Elon is now a clear overall bear since he expects a global recession according to his latest tweet. He must have sold his BTCs as well (along with tesla) in loss which he bought at 38-39k area. I wish he gets rekt (atleast by btc, if not stonks), and learns his lesson the hard way 😁. Dont pay too much attention to his words, he cant control the market for long even if he is the richest man on planet. 😉

What did he do to you that you have to wish he got rekt? He is not an economist, but he is the richest man on the planet, so it is normal for him to make predictions about the world economic situation, if you do not want to hear it, you can ignore it.
Whether he or Tesla sells bitcoin will be announced in their financial statements, they cannot sell arbitrarily like retail investors like us. And also need to reiterate that he is the richest man on the planet, so he knows what to do with his bitcoins, no need for you to teach him how.
But in the end, I agree with you: he can never control the market and doesn't love crypto as many would expect.

Recently, the SBF is said to have agreed to accept extradition to the US after many refusals by the Bahamas government. If he is extradited to the US and tried then he will face more charges and penalties from the SEC and CFTC, but if he comes back to the US, there will also be benefits for him because he has close ties with politicians. Until now, I still believe that he will not be sentenced too harshly, he will be released soon.

But one of my concerns is that this case may soon be forgotten by the public because we are quick to move on to something else.
This is certain, investors will quickly forget, just give them a small rally in the market, and they will quickly forget about the losses or accidents they have had in the past. Even though they lose a lot, their goal is still profit, and market makers know it, it won't be too difficult to make them forget everything and start a new game.

Amazing comeback, I thought it was all over at 2 nil surely that was it but Argentina slipped and France has taken full advantage of their defense lapse.   The Qatar commentary is calling it the best world cup final ever and I cant remember a match ever moving from one extreme to other like this before, still penalties is less then ideal imo for a decision.  Does this mean all the people who bet draw are the big winners on this bet ?

Whaaaaat a match! Whaat an exciting match! A perfect final we got to enjoy. In the first half, we saw only Argentina's dominance. But in the second half, it is completely opposite. France made a remarkable comeback in the second half. Mbappe scored two goals in just 1 minute. Even though Messi scored a goal in extra time, the match was tied again after 10 minutes. Martinez proved his mettle again in the penalty shootout. Like the first three shots, he managed to resist two. A great goalkeeper is Emiliano Martinez. I would say that Argentina won because of the great performances of Martinez and Messi.

99% is a bit of an exaggeration, but he was right when he said that someone would lose money by storing assets in a non-custodial wallet. As we have also seen, many threads asking about how to recover the private keys when they create the wallet and not store them afterward. It can be said that many people when participating in the market, are only interested in how to make a profit but ignore how to protect their assets until the incident occurs, they panic.
I don't know why I'm finding it difficult to believe. Like how will someone set up a wallet and ignore to save private keys? Perhaps they have no intention of sticking to that wallet and probably will not put huge coins I think. Especially bounty cheaters who indulge in multiple accounts might be a victim but any serious crypto enthusiast will not set up a wallet and not store the keys afterward.

I don't know about bounty cheaters but I think lack of knowledge, newbies, it is straightforward to fall into this situation, they don't know its importance until there is no chance to get it back. Or as I know so far, there are still many cases of storing keys online or on personal computers because they have not thought about their computer having a problem or their email being hacked. Many people never make an offline copy, this can be said to have happened a lot.

I don't know the specifics but I'm assuming whatever he was caught with wasn't so bad if he was only gone for six months.  For a fighter though, that can be devastating.  A lot of these guys are spending all their money on their training, and to miss the opportunity to fight can be life changing or even force them into retirement. 

In the case of McGregor though, a lot of guys "juice" when recovering from major injuries to help them speed things along and keep their body in peak condition while they recover.  McGregor looks like an absolute beast right now.  I wonder what he'll look like in another 5 months.

I believe that whatever Bobby Green was caught with is not USADA-approved. If it was, he wouldn’t have been banned anyway. And I have no problem as long as “the juice” is used for medical purposes. But if it is used to gain an advantage over the opponent, I will always have a problem with that.

It's quite sure that Bobby Green did not take it for medical purposes. If he did, he would not have been banned for sure. Because we have seen fighters taking inhalers during the break in the middle of a fight. I believe someone did that at the start of the second round in the UFC. He did not get banned because he didn’t know. So, I don’t think UFC will do that type of injustice.

Actually, the way Conor McGregor is bulking up, I am actually very suspicious of him. And I honestly do not know if he is qualified to pass all the tests. I am also quite sure that he is going to become really huge. More than what he already is right now.
