~the current Real Madrid squad is not much different from last season's squad that failed to win a trophy.
The current squad is worse than the previous season. What did they get on the transfer window? They sold 2 main centre backs, including their captain Ramos. And they just bought David Alaba which is basically not in the position of centre back. We can see the impacts now, Real Madrid defence line is rather weak. Even Levante can score 3 times and almost defeat Real Madrid yesterday. Madrid need the next few weeks back to best performance we will wait for this moment
Why are you confident that Real Madrid performance will be better in the next few weeks? I don't see any reasons that it can be true. Although it really happens, Real Madrid position on the table may be out of the top 5 already and it is difficult to compete for the La Liga trophy. the 2020/21 season was madrid's worst season because they didn't win a single title at that time and obviously the cause was poor performance, I think madrid this season will not be too different from madrid last season, because there really hasn't been much change in their squad this season apart from Losing Varane and Ramos, Madrid have only brought in Alaba and it is clear that Alaba's arrival cannot close the vital position that Varane and Ramos have left at this time, and I agree that Real Madrid this season will not be able to compete with clubs like Atletico, Barcelona and maybe even clubs that have a level below them like sevilla and also valencia. |

He has an excuse in that fight, so probably if he still chooses to fight again, another excuse would not be accepted again if he gets defeated. He said his legs were tight during the fight that's why he can't move his usual way, we actually did not see the move that we saw during his fight against Thurman, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt, one more fight and if he lose, then it's over.
On the eve of the match between Manny Pacquaio and Errol Spence Jr, Pacquaio said the reason he returned to boxing was because he wanted to have a really clean fight without any drama, but in the end the match was canceled due to Spence injury. But it seems that Pacquaio reasoning changed after ugas became Spence substitute opponent, because it was clear that pacquaio wanted to reclaim the belt that was revoked by the world boxing federation and give it to ugas for free at the time , i think in that match pacquaio was too eager to beat ugas with a knockout defeat and it drains he stamina . we all know the current pacquaio is not the pacquaio of three years ago who is able to move fast and aggressively, I think his legs are starting to weaken and slow down because of the age factor. |

PSG is already going at 3 for 3 and that is not an easy task to handle, starting with 3 wins is always a sure fire way to show the world that you mean business, Mbappe is not going to put all year and hope to get on another team, everyone talked about how he wanted to leave to go to Madrid and that could still be very well true who knows but that doesn't change the fact that dude plays very well even though he wants to be on another team.
I do not know 100% guaranteed if he wants to leave or not, but at least we all know (at least for now) that he is not going to play with 99%, he is putting 100% on all games and that is the thing that matters the most, if you can get the maximum out of Mbappe for all season you are going to be successful, that kid is something special, probably one of the best we have seen in the world at around that age (maybe except one or two players).
In fact, PSG's start looks very dubious - they conceded 5 goals in three games. This is a record figure for teams that are at the top of the table. If they continue to play in this way, then any serious rival (for example in the Champions League) will bury their ambitions. However, such indicators can most likely be attributed to the start of the season and poor teamwork of the players. In my opinion, PSG are still hiding their true strength, because of some of their new players, PSG have only fielded Wijnaldum and Hakimi to fill the core positions in the current squad, while Messi, Ramos and Donnarumma have not played even once until now and this shows that PSG have not played yet 100% showing the strength of his team to the football public. Now, although still without messi, ramos and donnarumma, PSG are able to top the standings with a perfect score without losing from 3 matches, so just imagine what PSG strength is like when messi, ramos, donnarumma, mbappe and neymar play together, doesn't that make PSG become the perfect and dangerous club in the world? Seeing the current PSG squad filled with star players, I remember the movie The Expendables which contains heroes from various cool movies  |

Spurs are in talks with Wolves for Adama Traore. I think it would be a great transfer given the attribute Traore possesses- his physique, his pace so it would be a strong man in wing which Spurs need right now. So I can see what Nuno is thinking there by adding another pacy winger in the team. Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, Son all have tremendous pace and adding Adama Traore in there would make their team extremely strong on counters. Now they just need to keep a hold on Kane and that's it- a perfect team.
Besides traore, actually Tottenham are targeting several wingers to strengthen their squad this season, tottenham hotspur are also trying to get Madueke from Psv eindhoven now, in my opinion, Madueke's performance at Psv eindhoven is no less good than traore, because apart from being young, Madueke is also a fairly fast and dangerous winger, until now Madueke has scored 9 goals and 6 assists. But it looks like traore is a target player that will be easy to get by tottenham considering both traore and Wolverhampton have a close relationship with the current tottenham coach, namely Nuno Espirito Santo. |

FC Koln was the 16th team in the points table last season. But looking at their performance yesterday I didn’t think they were a weak team in the previous season. Looks like they’ve been able to prepare themselves very well this season. Koln played well throughout the match. And they carried out some deadly attacks on Bayern Munich's goalposts that surprised everyone.
If Köln keep playing like this, they can go very far this year. They played very well and they didn't make it easy for Bayern. For me, it looks like Julian Nagelsmann hasn't really "arrived" yet. This is a good chance for the teams that play against Bayern in the next few weeks. In that match Koln had many chances to win but unfortunately they were still not in a row because they conceded the first goal, in my opinion Koln game showed a pretty impressive game against a team as big as Bayern Munich. With this victory, Bayern Munich managed to break the record that has been held by Madrid, namely the success of always scoring goals in consecutive matches in competitive matches with a total of 74 consecutive matches. |

What if in every defeat he will collect millions of money that he can use to help his people?
Good point, in each deal for fighting will allow him to collect money to enforce his charity works, still good for him to fight as long as his condition will be protected. I think it's still worth then as even if he keeps losing, people would still remember him as the living legend and the only 8th division world champion.
He will be remembered and never be forgotten, the only living legend who brings pride to the country who truly respect by most people in the world. We can't say that he will retire because in the end, it's still up to him to decide and since he is in control of his body, he knows when it's already time or not.
yeah right, it's him to tell if he can't fight any longer and if it's time for him to stop and enjoy his luxurious life away from this sport. it looks like the match against Ugas will be pacman's last fight in the ring, because if he wants to keep his record of course retirement is the best way for him because if he continues his career in boxing at an old age, of course he will get a bad reputation in history world boxing in the future, because it can be said that if he continues to box, of course he will experience defeat because there are indeed many young boxers who are currently improving their performance. |

I heard from my local news that the Chievo Verona club has now been disbanded due to not getting any sponsors so this resulted in a worse financial crisis and in the end they disbanded is that news really valid? Yes, it's really a pity because it has been successful in the past so that this year it's even worse due to a financial downturn I think this must be a big problem with the management. Some italian sports media have made the that news as their main today, and actually verona chievo has been having problems since last june, but their finances have continued to deteriorate in the last few weeks so they have failed to pay all debts and taxes that have been arrears for a long time, according to available information, the chievo team management has actually tried to get new investors and loans to pay off the debt but to no avail, so the Italian administration, CoViSoc considers the club unable to provide evidence of the team financial stability to compete in the season 2021/22, and in the end the chievo verona management announced that the club was officially dissolved. |

I never thought that a team like Juventus could be so degraded. I lost my bet money. Juventus has performed very poorly. Udinese weak team. Yet the performance they have shown against Juventus is amazing. Udinese players have attacked more than Juventus. I didn't think Juventus would show such a poor performance in the first match.
Everything can happen in football, Dybala playing well in the first half, I will think the same as you, money in my hand. but what happened in the second half is a dumb thing. Szczesny, I don't know what he's thinking, his blunder makes my money lost either and maybe I want to blame VAR too which make Ronaldo's goal disallowed on injured time. It was Juventus who lead the 1st half with a 2-0 score. Ronaldo then came on and ended up 2-2 with Udinese. The 2nd half was quite dramatic, but the yellow card and offside were the key factors in the outcome. VAR disallows winning goal. He just scored an offside goal, don't blame VAR! Could they have won the match if Ronaldo remained on the bench? Would you agree?  Yes, I agree with you, of course the referee has the authority to annull the goal if it is proven to be offside, and we can see in the VAR is indeed at that time Ronaldo shoulders and hands were in an offside position when he jumped and scored the goal, in my opinion in that match, apart from Wojciech Szczesny was unlucky for making two blunders, Ronaldo also had two misfortunes in that match, namely a goal which was disallowed by the referee and also a yellow card when celebrating goals scoring by removing his jersey. |

With his current age, of course it will be difficult for Pacquiao to win a KO/TKO victory over Ugas, especially if Ugas is a boxer who has strong stamina and of course the age factor is younger than pacman.
Even though,I favoring Pacman as the winner in that bout to claim the WBA (Super) welterweight world title.
I think pacquiao might benefit a little, because Ugas is not the aggressive type of boxer like Errol Spence Jr style of play.
The last time Pacquiao knock down an opponent was three years ago against Matthysse, Matthysse was already an aging boxer and he suffered a knee injury, Ugas is 35 years old but not showing a sign like what Mathhysse has shown, he will have a hard time with Ugas who is known to have a strong chin and can go toe to toe, although Pacquiao is a strong favorite we should not disregard Ugas, he can still pull out an upset. In that fight, a lot of people voted for pacman as the favorite winner, but as you said anything can happen in the ring, I think pacman only wins in terms of experience compared to ugas, and actually there are many factors in favor of ugas to be able to beat pacman in the match later, because indeed he has been very active in training and competing so far and this is different from pacman who only does training preparations only a few weeks before the match starts, in my opinion, pacman will be very difficult to beat the ugas and maybe the ugas that will win later. Even so I will still support pacman as my favorite boxer besides mike tyson |

I've seen in the news that Pacquiao hinted that this would be his last fight so he encourages anyone to watch it (maybe as part of the promotion too). On the other hand, Yordenis Ugas claimed that he will now put Pacquiao into retirement and make the upcoming match his last fight (we already used on hearing this).
Although honestly, I don't believe that this would be Pacquiao's last fight. He will be busy for the election until May next year so I think he still has 1 fight to pursue depends on the result of his election bid.
I actually think that this fight is the last professional fight that will be fought by pacman, because if you look at the age of 41 years, it is not a golden period for Manny Pacquiao as a professional boxer and maybe it's time for him to focus more on continuing his political career and I heard news if Pacman does plan to run for president of the Philippines in the 2022 election.
With a replacement opponent, this fight is a lot easier than the Spence fight and he may not absorb too many punches here so I think he can still fight at the age of 43 and that would be next year but of course, that depends on the outcome of his presidential bid (if ever he decides to run for that position).
On the other hand, it would be awesome if he defends his WBA title (considering he wins this one) while he is the sitting president of the Philippines lol.
With his current age, of course it will be difficult for Pacquiao to win a KO/TKO victory over Ugas, especially if Ugas is a boxer who has strong stamina and of course the age factor is younger than pacman. Even though,I favoring Pacman as the winner in that bout to claim the WBA (Super) welterweight world title. I think pacquiao might benefit a little, because Ugas is not the aggressive type of boxer like Errol Spence Jr style of play. |

a much improved performance from Leipzig, and now they need to build on this performance and mount a title challenge. Lastly I’m not sure about the draw because I expect both teams to attack each other, hence I except one of them to win, and if Leipzig show this form again then Bayern will be in serious trouble.
you right, after losing to Mainz in their first game last week, Leipzig seemed to immediately bounce back to win against Stuttgart, from the start of the match Leipzig had immediately played aggressively to suppress the Stuttgart defense and it didn't take long for them to immediately have a chance to score in the fifth minute, but unfortunately Emil Forsberg shot was well parried by the stuttgart goalkeeper. With a 4-0 win automatically making Leipzig move up to third place in the German League standings with three points from two matches, while Stuttgart dropped to seventh place with the same value, but lost on goal difference. Even though their game was quite good against stuttgart but these results can't be a reference if stuttgart will be able to match the game of teams like dortmund or bayern munchen in my opinion, and we can see in that match, if the Leipzig defense continues to make a lot of mistakes and it's even quite dangerous for their goalkeeper, but fortunately the stuttgart players could not take the opportunity with well. |

Lewandowsky is one of the best strikers in the world today, so besides Harry Kane, of course Lewandowsky is a suitable player to replace Sergio Aguero role in the Manchester City attack line, but just like Harry Kane who is not sold by Tottenham, of course Bayern Munich will not let go Lewandowsky easily this season, moreover Lewandowsky is a player who has an important role for Bayern Munich in attack, in my opinion, if Munich let Lewandowsky out of course it will be to their own disadvantage, because right now the transfer market is only a few days away and it will be very difficult to find substitute for lewandowsky.
Harry Kane and Lewandowski have very important roles at their respective clubs, so it won't be easy to make the two move. With the transfer market closing in a few days, it will be increasingly difficult to find a replacement for either Kane or Lewandowski if they move. So my prediction is that both of them will stay in their respective clubs, Moreover, the price that Bayern want is too expensive for Lewandowski who are 32 years old. Man City should look for other options, which is easier to get, and after all Man City do need a replacement for Aguero. In my opinion, Bayern Munich set a high price for Lewandowsky as a warning to Manchester City if indeed Lewandowsky is not for sale at all, it certainly looks ridiculous if Manchester City bought Lewandowsky for £100 million. Even though Lewandowsky is the best striker in the world he certainly doesn't deserve such a high price for his age and of course Manchester City will not invest 117 million pounds in a player who may only play a few seasons. Moreover, Bayern Munich currently does not have other players to replace Lewandowsky's position in the front lines, although Bayern Munich still has Mueller, but we know that Mueller is also old and his performances are not very consistent, while Genabry is relatively young and has no experience as a lone striker. I think with only 11 days left, it looks like Manchester City will be very difficult to get a striker this season, like it or not, Pep Guardianola should be able to make good use of their current players. |

I think that Chelsea can beat Arsenal even without Lukaku. Chelsea's squad is stronger, and so is the coach. Tuchel is a very strong coach and the team clearly follows his instructions. Unfortunately, Arsenal is the opposite. I think we will have a match with an abundance of goals and Chelsea's victory.
Can understand why many predict Arsenal will lose to chelsea even with many goal, from the lineup and coach of Chelsea above Arsenal, and the result in the first match adds to the doubts that Arsenal can beat Chelsea, but still it is not impossible for Arsenal to beat Chelsea or at least a draw to get 1 points. Arsenal did have good statistics against Chelsea during Tuchel tenure, from the last three meetings in competitive matches, Arsenal managed to finish with a win, even so Chelsea have a greater chance of winning than Arsenal in the tomorrow match, moreover arsenal is currently losing two of their important players namely Aubameyang and Lacazette due to illness, while chelsea will play with a full squad even they will play Lukaku as a striker and of course arsenal must be aware of the sharpness of Lukaku, because Lukaku is known as a strong player, fast and also able to take advantage of opportunities to score goals. My prediction, Chelsea will win by a score of 1-3 in that match. |

Although Lewandowski is 32 years old, his fitness is good. He can perform regularly. And he was less injured. Yet now all the clubs are in financial crisis because 117m is really too much. I think 70/80m is suitable for Lewandowski. He is a talented player.
Lewandowsky is one of the best strikers in the world today, so besides Harry Kane, of course Lewandowsky is a suitable player to replace Sergio Aguero's role in the Manchester City attack line, but just like Harry Kane who is not sold by Tottenham, of course Bayern Munich will not let go Lewandowsky easily this season, moreover Lewandowsky is a player who has an important role for Bayern Munich in attack, in my opinion, if Munich let Lewandowsky out of course it will be to their own disadvantage, because right now the transfer market is only a few days away and it will be very difficult to find substitute for lewandowsky. |

Its not yet late to buy top five coins in the marketcap, Bitcoin and Ethereum still be my favourite, and Cardano has 30% in my portfolio.
Investing in top five marketcap still make profit for me if i hold it for long term. Remember not too rush to enter the market, stay safe, and take profit.
In my personal opinion, in investing, of course, we must have clear benchmarks regarding the assets we have, and I also agree that it is better for us to choose altcoins that are in the top 5 coinmarketcaps than investing in new altcoins or tokens like those that are trending in the crypto world now that is NFT coin, I think investing in new altcoins or tokens has a big enough risk, because we don't know how big the fundamentals and the community that supports the altcoins or tokens. |

Hey all, We are still in the early stage of this uptrend cycle. This cycle will go on till end of 2022 and the peak will be about 350k per BTC. When it hits its next market cycle peak, bitcoin will have a market cap of $6.5 trillion. Total market cap will top out around $10–12 trillion combined BTC and altcoins, roughly on par with gold’s market cap today and the inflation-adjusted value of the dot-com boom. It took 24 months for bitcoin to go from its low of November 2011 to its high of November 2013. It took 35 months for bitcoin to go from its low of January 2015 to its high of December 17. Extend that pattern and we can predict it will take 46 months for bitcoin to go from its low of January 2019 to its high in October 2022. The image was done on 2020 so the "Today" time is not now in 2021, but I find this analysis is rather OK.  You can read the full analysis in this post: Is Bitcoin Nearing Another All-Time High? Why, When and How MuchI don't think anyone can analyze bitcoin price movements precisely, because there are many factors that can affect bitcoin prices on the market, there's nothing wrong with predicting bitcoin prices, but 2022 isn't that still too far away for us to predict? It is always possible for bitcoin to reach that price depending on some good news and some promotion that may come and the price of bitcoin today is bullish and the next season is still unknown, the best time to predict is maybe at the begining of year 2022.
Actually I don't care how big the price of bitcoin is in 2022, because it is still out of our reach and of course we don't need to expect too much from the prediction and if the prediction is wrong of course we will be very disappointed, the best thing we do now is believe in ourselves to buy bitcoin when the price is cheap, why do we keep looking at price predictions, but when the bitcoin price goes up and we don't have a bit of bitcoin in our wallet? |

I think Bitcoin and altcoins are in a bull market cycle and will continue until the end of this year. But this rally seems different from the one at the end of last year. First, the all-time high has been definitively breached. Second, institutions are piling up, while the public is still largely on the sidelines. So time will tell if Bitcoin finally hits new ATH levels but previous events suggest the potential for a big move higher in the next few months.
I also think that the current bitcoin price is still in a bull state, although previously the bitcoin price decreased slightly, but in the last 24 hours the bitcoin price continued to move up slowly, I think the current bitcoin price increase may be related to positive news from the cooperating coinbase with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc to start an exchange in Japan. Currently the price of Bitcoin is up more than 3,9% and is able to break through the $48,500 price level, if this continues of course we will likely see a price of $50,000 by the end of this month. |

Arsenal are currently in dire need of a goalkeeper who can really play consistently in goal this season, as you said, Leno performance last season was quite poor and he averaged 1 goal conceded in every game that arsenal played and Leno has only a few cleansheet in all of arsenal matches in last season, although many doubt that Ramdale will be able to become a good goalkeeper in Arsenal, but I think at least he has enough experience to be able to play under pressure and hopefully he can perform well enough and can shift the position Leno as Arsenal number 1 goalkeeper. |
