It is true that Rohit Sharma has not been able to perform as well as the fans will remember for Mumbai Indians this year. But Mumbai Indians are performing well overall and have managed to come up with the tops in the points table. It remains to be seen whether Mumbai Indians can finally make it to the top four.
After a bad month we trust Rohit Sharma in the next match but in the next match Rohit Sharma does bad again. If Rohit Sharma was not the captain of Mumbai Indians then maybe someone else would have been given a chance instead but Rohit Sharma has already been retained by Mumbai Indians at a very high price and then he has been given responsibility under Mumbai Indians that is why Mumbai Indians is not planning to play someone else instead of him. Even if he does badly in all the matches, the team management will still rely on him.

Suriya Kumar Yadav's return to form was much needed. The performance of Suriya Kumar Yadav in the last match, I hope the team management is happy with his performance.
Right. Mumbai Indians team management will not think of dropping a player like Sharma, at least in this year's IPL. If Rohit Sharma continues this performance, the Mumbai Indians team management will definitely be under pressure to find out who will be the captain of Mumbai Indians in the next IPL. Because if Rohit Sharma is not the captain of this team, then the team management would have dropped him.
I don't think Mumbai Indians can take such a decision against Rohit Sharma for poor performance recently as Rohit Sharma has performed beyond expectations for Mumbai Indians in the past. It wouldn't be wrong to call Rohit Sharma the most successful captain in IPL. Because Mumbai Indians have brought home the maximum number of IPL trophies till now under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. 
2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020 have been championed by Rohit Sharma for five consecutive seasons. And Rohit Sharma has scored 6000 plus runs in IPL so far, hope Mumbai Indians won't forget his records for poor performance recently.

Rohit Sharma's performance is not good this season. I would say he has not been successful as an opener and captain this season. Mumbai has a very strong squad. Most of the players in the squad are very experienced in the T20 format. After that, Mumbai Indians have been defeated very miserably in several matches. But Rohit Sharma alone cannot be blamed for this.

Despite the erratic performance of Mumbai Indians, this team still has the potential to win the title. The Mumbai team did not start the season well. However, they have won three of the last four matches. If Rohit Sharma can return to form then Mumbai's batting line-up will be stronger in the upcoming matches. But Mumbai's bowlers need to perform better.

But I hope Rohit Sharma's achievements in the past years will not be forgotten due to Rohit's poor performance in recent years. Kohli has been out of form for a long time. Still, everyone supported Kohli and now he is playing very well. Hopefully, Mumbai management and BCCI will do the same with Rohit Sharma.

This is like a wild ball in my opinion, yes, we know that one of the people closest to him is his own family, and I think it's not without reason that Messi's father said something about his son. They must have planned this so that the news would heat up more and the puzzles about Messi's new club would make more speculation or even matchology. lol
Until now I have not heard an official statement from Messi aside from a few rebuttals that can still be questioned. What is certain now is that Messi's departure from Paris Saint Germain is very likely given the current situation.
But there is something that keeps me thinking the transfer will actually happen to Al-Hilal. What is happening right now is no coincidence with Ronaldo transferring there and now Messi, but to another club. It would be the exact thing that the Saudis want. They are the ones to make happen what the whole world wanted to see one more time: Ronaldo vs. Messi. I am sure that the TV viewing rates would go through the roof around the globe, all eyes on the game in Saudi Arabia. Both Ronaldo and Messi are ambassadors for Saudi Arabia and in 2030, an application as the hosts will be handed in for the World Cup to take place in Saudi Arabia. They are going to make it happen no matter what. 
We are sure that Messi can't stay in PSG for another season because there is a bad and negative atmosphere against this player and the fans are unhappy about him, there are two possible destinations for this player we usually see in the news, the Arabian teams or Barcelona but I think Messi will choose the first option for next season.
That is the most likely in my opinion as well. He is still the top scorer in Ligue 1 in terms of goals and assists, but I also have no idea what the plan for PSG is for Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Is he im despair now, giving up on his Champions League dream or will he keep pumping hundreds of millions into PSG in the hope to eventually win that trophy? Now that he had Neymar, Messi and Mbappe on his team, what is he going to do next? This is probably frustrating for him and the project somehow loses relevance over time as well if the big success remains unachieved.

I think Nasser Al-Khelaifi has realized his mistake. It has been proved that money alone cannot win the Champions League title. PSG spent an incredible amount to build their team. But their performance was still poor.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi should now look for an experienced coach. And then giving the coach full freedom to build the team. And indeed large funds must be provided. If Nasser Al-Khelaifi gets a coach like Zidane for his club then I think the PSG team will be able to win the title. Unless the coach is experienced, I don't see a chance for PSG to do well in the Champions League.

Manchester City played absolutely well last night by making Madrid struggle to get the ball and it's what I was expecting from the Citizens, to me Madrid was no match for City. After the first goal by Vinicius Jr I thought that would be another problem for Manchester CITY, like they would be panicking to get an equalizer but Pep controlled his boys asking them to continue pushing till they got a goal.
I still don't know why whenever it comes to a crucial game such as this, Erling Haaland would just be a ghost in the game, like is worrisome and Pep Guardiola needs to start up somebody who's not relaxing in games such as this like Alvarez. I believe he [Alvarez] can do better than Erling or if possibly play both attackers in the return leg and make the defense of Madrid work more than they did in the first leg and hopefully it will be a win for City at the end.
I wouldn't say that Real Madrid's performance was bad. But I expected a better performance from Real Madrid. Luka Modric is back from injury. But he could not play well in this match. More importantly, Benzema's performance was not good in this match. If Benzema had played well, maybe Madrid would have won.
Real Madrid has fallen behind by not being able to win home matches. In the previous season, we saw Real Madrid lose 4-3 against Manchester City in the away match, but they managed to qualify for the final thanks to a 3-1 win at home. But this time they can't play well in the home match. I think Manchester City will qualify for the final.
This was a very fierce match, both teams took the initiative to play a fast tempo, and there were lots of collisions which resulted in 4 yellow cards. I don't think it's the day of the strikers because they seem to be deadlocked. The tight defense of each team makes it difficult to create good opportunities. Man City certainly has an advantage in the second leg because they will be playing at home but still, they can't let their guard down because Real Madrid is a dangerous team that has a good mentality.

I expected this match to be very competitive and both teams will play very fast. We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. The players of both the teams tried hard to score. However, Real Madrid cannot take advantage of the home. I'd say Ancelotti was defeated by Guardiola's match tactics at home. I won't say that Real Madrid played badly, but I expected them to win. But they can't win. However, after losing the first leg last season, Madrid produced a great performance in the second leg and beat City to qualify for the final. I hope the second leg will be more crowded.

Currently Manchester United have 63 points, one point different from Liverpool very close Sir, although Manchester United has the advantage in one unplayed match yet but yes this gap is really threatening. Manchester United will be forget about their defeat, because thier still have a big chance to get UCL tickets. And I'm sure they will win and secure three points against Wolves, because the situation will be in the red devil's favour, I mean they will play at home. So far Manchester United have also performance well at Old Trafford, meanwhile Wolves have a bad record when playing away.
United has some tough fixtures upcoming like Wolves, Fulham and Chelsea which can make things difficult for them to finish top 4. At current state, with injuries and all its a tough job for ten Haag to manage his team. United needs someone aside from Rashford to step up and start scoring for them. Lately, they have been unable to score in games. Wolves can prove to be tough opponents at times also. They might not be in good shape right now but don't undermine Wolves at all.

Newcastle also have a game with Brighton which I predict to be a difficult one for Newcastle so they might also drop some points there. Liverpool are not far behind and Spurs and Brighton are also going close. So its gonna be interesting to watch shifts in table positions between these teams placed in 3rd to 7th.

Manchester United is just a little too inconsistent in my opinion. I don't think they will be able to get ahead of the 4th position on the table. I think they really don't need to. It will be alright if they just stay in the top four somehow. They have certainly improved well enough this season.

At one point it did not feel like they would be even finishing in the top 6. Manchester United have also lost the last two matches back to back. That is certainly not a good indication for them. I don't think Liverpool will be able to get ahead of Manchester United. After all, Liverpool has played one match more and they are still 1 point behind.

Ireland scored 65 runs in 16.3 overs with 3 wickets. The match has been stopped due to rain. Stephen Doheny was out for 17 runs off 39 balls. Paul Shirling is out for 15 runs off 10 balls. Andrew Balbirnie is out for 5 runs off 9 balls. Harry Techter is unbeaten on 21 runs off 37 balls. Lorcan Tucker was unbeaten with 2 runs from 4 balls. Bangladesh bowled very well, Taijul Islam got 1 wicket with 5 runs in 2 overs. Hasan Mahmud took one wicket with 21 runs in 5 overs. Shoriful Islam took 1 wicket with 21 runs in 5 overs.
In Bangladesh and Ireland series. Bangladesh team is looking more strong as compare to Ireland team. As in the first match we can see Bangladesh made 246 runs and this is an average target but Ireland is looking more weak. But we can't decide now. At this time rain is interfering so the match stopped.
Yes it must be believed because Bangladesh is much stronger than Ireland. Because we have seen from test matches and T20 matches that Bangladesh is much stronger than Ireland. Seeing Bangladesh's two wickets fall in the first over, I thought they wouldn't be able to score too many runs. But Bangladesh managed to score 246 runs by playing the ball till 50 overs. Meanwhile, Ireland were under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets early on. Had the match not been abandoned due to rain, Bangladesh would have won this match. Because in terms of performance, Ireland was under a lot of pressure.
Despite England's pitch not being favor for Bangladesh, the runs they scored that was much worthy. Ireland more likely to lose the match. Due to rain the match is declared by no result. I think rain gave away a good chance for Ireland. In that match, Ireland lost 3 wickets in just 16.3 overs, so if they batted a little longer, they could have lost more wickets. However, with only two matches left in the series, it remains to be seen what happens there. Either team needs to win both matches to win the series.

I would not call a target of 247 runs a low collection. This is a good enough collection on the pitch at Chelmsford. And Bangladesh's chances of winning were high. Ireland quickly lost three key batsmen in their top order. Ireland's collection was only 65 runs in 16.3 overs. The performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers was very good. Bangladesh would have been able to win the match had it not rained. The series is of three matches. I hope Bangladesh will win the next two matches. Bangladesh team will win the series against Ireland.

Ireland - Bangladesh

I am looking forward to Bangladesh vs Ireland series. Today the first ODI match of the series is going to be played in Chelmsford.
The Bangladesh team is in very good form now in the ODI format. In the last two series, Bangladesh dominated and won against England and Ireland. The players of Bangladesh did a great performance. However, series two was Bangladesh's home match. And the Bangladesh team at home is always strong. However, this series against Ireland is going to be held in England. England pitches generally provide more support to pace bowlers. And so I am waiting to see how Bangladesh players perform on such a pitch. But I think the Bangladesh team will maintain their consistency. And Bangladesh will win this series by dominating against Ireland.

Ireland won the toss and took the fielding decision. And at the beginning of the innings, Ireland's bowlers managed to take the wicket of Liton Das. Liton Das failed to collect any runs in the first round. He returned to the dressing room with the first ball. Liton Das has played well in the last few series. So the expectation was that he would maintain consistency.
Tamim Iqbal and Shanto are batting now. If these two batsmen are not able to play well, if they are not able to form a big partnership, then it will be difficult to collect big scores in today's match.

If the performance of the Wolfsburg team is not consistent, there is no chance to call this team weak. Now this team is in good form. I have seen excellent gameplay from Wolfsburg in the last few matches. And so the Wolfsburg team will play today with the aim of winning against Dortmund.
Wolfsburg beat Dortmund 2-0 in the home match. However, Wolfsburg had been defeated in the previous four matches. I think the Dortmund team will avenge their previous match defeat today. Dortmund's performance has been somewhat erratic, but if they want to close the points gap with Munich, they need to get 3 points in today's match by any means.
Bayern beat Werder Bremen and now have a 4-point advantage over Dortmund, although Bayern's victory was not convincing, especially in the second half. Dortmund can beat Wolfsborg today and keep this intrigue, especially since the series of home victories has already reached 10 victories and very often these are high-scoring matches. I expect Dortmund to win and I also expect that the hosts will score at least two goals and the intrigue in the Bundesliga will still remain.

Dortmund played very well against Wolfsburg. I didn't expect Dortmund to perform so well. My guess was Dortmund would get a narrow win. But Dortmund won this match 6-0. Dortmund's attacking players played very well and their defence was solid in this match. Wolfsburg did not play a defensive strategy at all. They tried to score. Despite some good attacks, they failed to break down Dortmund's stout defence. The dortmund team is only 1 point behind Bayern Munich. Dortmund still have a chance to top the table if they consistently play well in every match.

Wolfsburg winning this could take them to the Europa Conference League Qualifiers, while Dortmund has a lead against Bayern Munich, so both teams have a crucial win for them right now Raphael Guerreiro, Soumaïla Coulibaly, Nico Schlotterbeck, Thomas Meunier, Thomas Meunier, and Mateu Morey, will surely not play for the Dortmund, while Maxence Lacroix, Paulo Otavio, and Lukas Nmecha can not give up, but surely it goes time for both but surely Dortmund will win this in my opinion,
Its amazing to watch two talented teams go head to head in such a crucial game. With so much on the line there will certainly be a fierce battle between Dortmund and Wolfsburg. Dortmund may be without some important players but their successful history versus Bayern Munich demonstrates that they are still capable of winning. Maxence Lacroix Paulo Otavio and Lukas Nmecha of Wolfsburg on the other hand are determined to have an impression. Although its difficult to make predictions I think Dortmund might have the advantage. In any case football fans should expect an entertaining contest.

If the performance of the Wolfsburg team is not consistent, there is no chance to call this team weak. Now this team is in good form. I have seen excellent gameplay from Wolfsburg in the last few matches. And so the Wolfsburg team will play today with the aim of winning against Dortmund.

The 49th Match of Indian Premier League has started today. Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians these two teams have entered the field to play. Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and decided to bowl. Mumbai Indians now entered the field to bat. They scored 59 runs in 9 overs.  But till now Mumbai Indians Shakti Shali lost 3 wickets. Ishan Kishan got out for 7 runs in 9 balls. Today Ishan Kishan has bad performance in batting. Mumbai Indians team batsmen are under a lot of pressure.
Congratulations to Chennai Super Kings on their fantastic win over Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets and with 16 balls left. The player of the match is  Matheesha Pathirana superb bowling performance of taking 3 wickets in just 15 runs in 20 overs was truly amazing Also Devon Conway brilliant inning of 44 runs played an important role in securing the victory for CSK. Its great to see the team hard work and determination pay off in such an impressive victory. Well done to the entire Chennai Super Kings team
Too be honest, many people had huge expectations on Mumbai Indians to win the match. Many also thought this will be a high scoring game, as all the batters of Mumbai were in great form. But unfortunately in this match, the batting lineup just collapsed. Only Nehal Wadhera’s slow innings took Mumbai to 140 runs. Now Rohit Sharma had to really look on his form, as he is also the captain of Indian team and 2 world cups coming. Moreover Chennai bowlers also needs to praised for their amazing performance.

Mumbai India's batsmen were in good form. Even then they could not score big in this match. Due to the rapid loss of wickets, Mumbai managed to collect only 139 runs in 20 overs. As if 139 was not a good enough collection to win on such a pitch. Experienced batsmen like Cameron Green, Ishan Kishan, and Rohit Sharma did not play well in this match. Chennai squad's Deepak Charah, Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha bowled well in this match. Due to the controlled bowling of the bowlers, the innings of the Mumbai team ended at just 139. Mumbai would have been able to occupy the second place in the points table if they had won this match.

because from my understanding and experience in bitcoin, theirs no time you purchase bitcoin for investment is not best time, except that your motive of investing in bitcoin is for short term,

Really? Was buying at the ath of $68k the "best" time as well?
I get it, we are on the Bitcoin forum and (almost) everyone is pro-bitcoin, but let's not get detached from reality. Buying in at something that looks like a potential peak is not a smart move even if you're here for the long run. There's no guarantee that ath will keep getting higher every cycle or that cycles will keep repeating themselves as they did in the past. That's impossible.

The ultimate goal when investing in bitcoin is profit, when and at what price is extremely important, so I also disagree with saying that there is no best time to buy. If we bought bitcoin for $69k last year, we most likely won't lose money when the next bull season comes, but we won't be profitable either, and that's a real waste of time and money. As for me, I'm still accumulating bitcoins, but when the price crosses $50k or nears the old ATH, I'll stop buying and wait instead of buying regardless because the future is unpredictable, including bitcoins.

Good choice to decide less risk investment, your assets will be stay on your initial investment plan. Real Estate investement will be suitable for you.
But, you must be know that there are many new projects coming up and combining investment between real estate and crypto currency. they may be your option for combinations investement.

Real estate investments are not safe right now. The problem is that business is now moving into remote mode, which means you need fewer shopping centers, less office space. Inflation is also devaluing real estate investments. So there are plenty of risks here.

The demand for real estate will never disappear or diminish. Although online business is dominating, the ability to expand the chain of many businesses is no longer high. But the demand for housing has never stopped, the world population is already 8 billion people and will increase sharply in the future, and the demand for housing will be even greater. Inflation affects everything, not just real estate, and inflation can't last forever. There will come a time when we will also find a way to control it. The worrying thing is that real estate requires a huge amount of capital to invest and many young people like you and I can't afford it.

The wicket of Samad destroyed all hopes for SRH. The last three balls of the last over were very critical. I never expected SRH to win against KKR. Some brilliant piece of fielding and incredible catches by both the teams were seen yesterday.

Rinku Singh again proved himself. I was surprised to see how long he had to wait on the non striker end. At one point I felt the other batters have forgotten to rotate the strike. All of them wanted to clear the ropes rather give the strike to the inform batter.

Apart from Heinrich Klaasen, I don't like the performance of any batsmen of SunRagers Hyderabad. Aiden Markram though managed to collect 41 runs. But Markram's strike on the night was only 102.5. Markram needed to bat a bit better in the target of 172 runs. Also, Kolkata bowlers gave 14 extra runs. Kolkata's bowlers also had a chance to perform better.

Rinki Singh batted well. This player is very talented. But his performance is not consistent. If Rinku's performance is consistent then I think he will find a place in the Indian squad very quickly. Also, Nitish Rana and Russel's batting was quite good in this match.

Even though this was a draw, it was enough to make them champions and win the Scudetto for the third time while in Serie A.
This is obviously a very good thing because of course it can be a kicker but the challenges next season are tough and the main problem right now is how to retain their key players.
The gamblers won't care so much about napoli won scudetto caused by the result was enough making gamblers lose their bet. I guess that if anyone may not expect the draw as the result against udinese. I'm feeling so bad about napoli. My choice was not coming true.
Despite the fact that napoli won scudetto, but the result is not a good result for me. I put my choice if napoli gonna win the match but this club gets two draws in a row which is a bad result.

Congrats for napoli but the result is not making me feel satisfying.  Angry

Looking at Napoli's performance in this match, I don't think their goal was to win this match. I was very disappointed with Napoli's performance in this match. Napoli players have 65% ball possession in this match. Napoli have possession of the ball, but they don't make much of an attacking effort. Napoli made only 7 shots in 90 minutes. Napoli is a strong team. And their attack is very strong. Even then, we don't expect such defensive gameplay from a big team like Napoli. As this team is guaranteed to win the title. And so I don't see any tendency among the players to perform well.

Real Madrid is surely not having the best of season in their domestic league but one thing about the club is that they know how to play in the Champions League competition.
Manchester on the other hand has been exceptionally great this season both in the domestic games and in the UEFA Champions League competition but I still don't think that it gives them an edge over Real Madrid. Manchester City got eliminated by Madrid at this same stage of the competition last season and will surely wanna take a revenge this time but it'll be a very hard for them to achieve that against the most successful club in the competition
Their extensive experience and the status of defending champions for now, of course, can make a spirit booster for them.
Manchester City are a tough opponent and we know that but Madrid are also quite special because given their condition they are always capable of doing things that were thought to be impossible even for the Champions League like last season.
But personally I think Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League this season. Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team. But in the Champions League, excellence cannot be measured only by the team's ability to play. but also must be assessed in terms of the mentality of the players. And Real Madrid excels in this regard. But still I will support Manchester City. because they need the award.
Every season we have seen the favourite Manchester City team for the Champions League title. And as usual, this team is the favourite for the Champions League title this season. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win the title. Because in the last few seasons, we have seen City's performance suddenly deteriorate in the semi-finals or finals and the team get badly beaten. Last season, the team was eliminated from the Champions League after an unfortunate 3-1 defeat against Madrid. And they lost against Chelsea in the previous season as well. Madrid is a very strong opponent this season. Even so, I would say that Manchester City can be considered favourites in this match.
yeah right. Because we often see unexpected things in the world of football. especially when it's about the Champions League. with the level of the most stringent and hottest competition. so that everything can happen beyond our predictions. And indeed Man City has always been the favorite in the last few seasons. but in the end they always failed to win the title. Even last season they were off guard in the last minutes so that Real Madrid could win. well, even this season Man city is the favorite but we still can't predict the final result.

I have no doubt that Coach Guardiola is very experienced. But I would blame Guardiola for Manchester City's failure to reach the semi-finals and final of the Champions League in the last few seasons. In the last two seasons, we have seen Guardiola apply strange match tactics in semi-finals and finals. Manchester City players probably could not adapt themselves well to the match strategy, hence they were defeated. Manchester City might have won if the players could adapt themselves well to Guardiola's match strategy. But one should not take risks in such an important match. However, maybe Guardiola will apply a new match strategy this season as well. And so I would say this match will have a 50-50 chance of winning.

Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team. But in the Champions League, excellence cannot be measured only by the team's ability to play. but also must be assessed in terms of the mentality of the players. And Real Madrid excels in this regard. But still I will support Manchester City. because they need the award.

Every season we have seen the favourite Manchester City team for the Champions League title. And as usual, this team is the favourite for the Champions League title this season. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win the title. Because in the last few seasons, we have seen City's performance suddenly deteriorate in the semi-finals or finals and the team get badly beaten. Last season, the team was eliminated from the Champions League after an unfortunate 3-1 defeat against Madrid. And they lost against Chelsea in the previous season as well. Madrid is a very strong opponent this season. Even so, I would say that Manchester City can be considered favourites in this match.

We have read many similar predictions by many market analysts and so-called Bitcoin enthusiasts about the bright future of Bitcoin. This is not surprising and this post is not a speculation post. What is surprising is that such kind of optimistic predictions is coming from one of the banking majors. The current banking turmoil has helped Bitcoin to win the trust of the people.

Not all battles are fought on the battleground. Some are fought silently and patiently and time decides the winner. We are surely on the winning path!

Thoughts?


$100,000 bitcoin price by the end of 2024 seems like a very low bitcoin price prediction as i guess that by that time the bitcoin halving would have been done, the US dollar may be more weakened and the world economic indicators may be more towards high inflation and at that time people would be investing more in bitcoin which may lead to even higher prices that 100,000$.

Anyways, as we approach towards the next bitcoin halving, we will continue to see such statements by big players in the market. This will increase the hype. Be prepared to read more crazy predictions about bitcoin in the coming months.

ATH may be higher than $100k, but to say that high inflation and weaker USD is the reason for the bitcoin price increase, I disagree with you on this. Currently, inflation is still high, but I don't see a positive impact on bitcoin, on the contrary, I find everything difficult, and bitcoin is no exception.

The halving will still be the most powerful catalyst to help bitcoin generate new ATHs. But it will be better if the world economy recovers and grows in 2024 and 2025, it will also be an equally important factor for us to expect bitcoin to hit a higher ATH in the next bull season.

Personally I do not have the cash to redirect to precious metals at the moment, but they are a good long term investment, also do not underestimate silver, most of the uses of gold preserve the gold, as is the case of the minting of gold coins and jewelry, however silver is such an useful metal that is used on many industrial process which make it harder to recover, this increases its scarcity and this is a key component on the potential increase of value of an asset.
Gold may have very limited use cases but it is way more rare than Silver and that is the reason why there is a huge price difference between the two. I don't say that Silver is bad, it's also good as it is a useful metal and it has a lot of use cases as you mentioned, but it's not as scarce as Gold and that is the reason why it's cheaper than it.

If I was to invest money into one of these, I would most definitely go with gold since I know and I can clearly see that the price of gold is increasing rapidly and that has been the case for the whole history of its existence.

I also think that the price of gold in the coming years will continue to increase when the currency war between the superpowers, America, China, and Russia is intense, and countries are racing to hoard gold as much as possible. In the long term, this will stimulate gold prices to new ATH levels is not difficult. But to make a significant profit from investing in gold, we need to have a large amount of capital, and this is very difficult for individual investors like us. And that's also why I think people choose bitcoin over gold to invest.

hsv could still slip down to 4th place.
next weekend hsv will play at home against paderborn. and if hsv loses this game they will only be fourth. then the fear of the next defeat will set in.
but 4th place ....is the favourite place of the hamburgers.  Grin
Hamburger SV can not slip to place 4 at the next matchday. They are currently 6 points away from it.
But it will certainly be the most important game for them on Friday. If they lose they have to fight for place 3. But as you already wrote: Maybe they want to get back to place 4. They could even end up slipping to place 6 at the end of the season. Oh dear.

Hamburger SV's performance is not regular. And so this team is likely to fall further back in the points table. They have managed to win two of their last five matches. But I think Hamburger SV will be able to hold on to third place in the table until the end of the season. Paderborn, who are fourth in the table, are 6 points behind Hamburger SV. Also Paderborn's performance is not regular. Each team will play only four matches this season. And I don't think Hamburger SV will lose more than 6 points in 4 games. I think the top four teams in the points table will keep their position unchanged until the end of the season.

Every Champions League match was very important for Madrid. Real Madrid has dominated the Champions League matches since the beginning of the season. And so we have seen better performances from Real Madrid in almost every Champions League match.
Manchester City is a strong opponent. And so it won't be easy for Madrid to beat City. I would say both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning. The team that will be able to play well on the field will qualify for the finals. The Madrid team is experienced in the Champions League platform. Despite City being strong, against Ancelotti's match strategy, Manchester City will find it very difficult to win.
There are always different views on the semi-finals between Real Madrid vs Man City, the two clubs are equally great, they just have different experiences, while what we know is that Man City, under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, has been able to win various titles for several years, only one that has not been achieved, namely the Champions League.
Their chances are still the same advancing to the final but we saw the history of Real Madrid which impresses everyone but Manchester City will still continue to try against these odds their squad is ready with a very reliable squad especially Haaland who has always been talked about will be the destroyer of Real Madrid later, but it's still very difficult to predict, we always see Madrid so strong at the end.
Correct. various speculations and predictions about the Champions League semi-final match between Man city vs Real Madrid are always hotly discussed. and all of them firmly hold their own assumptions. There are those who hold the opinion that Real Madrid's mentality is far superior. and there are also those who stick to last season's statistical data. which in fact Man city dominated the game last season. even Man City won the first leg. and in the second leg, Man City won 1 goal until the 90th minute. But Man City failed to maintain their focus on maintaining their advantage because they thought they felt safe because the match was almost over. and finally it turned out that Real Madrid managed to score 3 goals in 5 minutes. ie from the 90th minute to the 95th minute (additional time). I only see that Real Madrid got the win in that match because of luck and also because of the carelessness of the Man City players at that time. this luck also happened because it was caused by the Real Madrid players who did not give up until the last minute of the game.

Manchester City have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Real Madrid. And Real Madrid won just one match. In the previous season's Champions League match, Manchester City won the first leg 4-3. But City were defeated 3-1 in the away match of the second leg.
It is easy to understand that the Madrid team is very strong at home. And so the first leg of this season will certainly require Manchester City to play very carefully if they want to qualify for the finals. If Manchester City is defeated in the first leg, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win against an experienced team like Madrid in the second leg. And so Manchester City must play well in the first leg.
