It is said that Paul Pogba is going to start the season with Manchester Utd and then decide what do before the transfer windows ends. PSG seem to be still interested in signing him this summer. But I wonder what Pogba thinks about this now. He is actually doing quite good here. He had a really good season too.
According to the news circulating, it is not only PSG who want Paul Pogba but Paul Pogba former club, namely Juventus, has also sent a proposal to buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United and according to Calciomercato, Juventus have offered Pogba for 50 million euro, it seems selling Pogba is the right move for Manchester United because Pogba contract will expire on June 30, 2022 and until now Pogba has not signed a contract extension and this is the reason some rich clubs want to buy Pogba. Everything is quite simple here. If Pogba does not want to sign a new contract, then Pogba will definitely leave in this transfer window, because it is in the interests of both the club and, accordingly, the player himself, because it is absolutely clear that this non-signing is the main hint to the club about the desire to leave. Buying Pogba would be a good step for Juventus to strengthen, given the not quite unambiguous results of this season. Another question is whether Juventus will be able to satisfy the financial appetites of the French player and his famous agent. On the other hand, a return to France to Paris Saint-Germain, which, thanks to its Arab owners, should certainly satisfy the financial appetites of the player. |

Reading the news, it's clear Ronaldo said no to Real Madrid. He doesn't want to go back to Spain. In the meanwhile he's helping himself and his wife with new fancy cars as you can see from his Instagram. Now it's the time for a Brabus GV12 900 based on a Mercedes-AMG G 63. 280 km/h max speed..... not bad for a car that will go to the supermarket!  By the way, Ronaldo returned his fleet back to Italy, and it seems that before that there was information that the player had transported all his cars to Portugal? I also personally doubt that Ronaldo will return to Real Madrid, although of course life throws up more amazing scenarios. I rather believe more in the transfer of the Portuguese to Manchester United to England, where, taking into account the seemingly successful departure of Messi from Barcelona, the great confrontation between Messi and Ronaldo can be repeated again, if Messi goes to Pep Guardiola in Manchester City, respectively. It sounds quite promising and beautiful, especially if you take into account the very complex relationships and the constant competition between the clubs from Manchester  |

Most likely it looks like Haaland will stay at Dortmund, after Chelsea who are most serious about getting Haaland now start to turn to chasing
Lukaku as their next target.
Chelsea had Haaland in mind, but it seems it was not working out for them. No doubt, Haaland is a very good and talented player which Chelsea will definitely benefit from if transferred to the team. However, Dormund still need Haaland in their squad, they are not ready to give him out. Chelsea now turned their attention to Lukaku, he scored 24 goals last season in Inter Milan, and I also think he is a good player. I agree that Chelsea really wanted Haaland, but negotiations with Dortmund didn't go well. Chelsea finally had to choose another striker. And now Chelsea are focused on being able to buy Romelu Lukaku from Inter, after Lukaku played amazingly with Inter, even managed to help Inter get the Serie A trophy. I also have no doubts about Lukaku's quality, but let's not forget that Lukaku failed with Chelsea in 2011-2014. Taking that into account I think what Chelsea did was a bit of a gamble to sign Lukaku, I still believe Haaland should be the right striker for Chelsea. Undoubtedly, if Chelsea manage to sign Lukaku, then the English club can stop its attempts to get Haaland in this transfer window. Another question is that if Chelsea cannot buy Haaland now, then I think that the probability of buying in the next transfer windows drops sharply, because then other buyers, such as Real Madrid, can become more active, and Chelsea will not agree to pay a lot of money for Haaland, having already got Lukaku. Another question is whether Borussia Dortmund will not miscalculate by not selling the player now and keeping him will be able to get comparable money later, because Haaland alone is unlikely to be able to bring the title, it seems that the era of crazy TV contracts has come to an end. |

I just read that too, from what I understood Barcelona wants Messi to stay and he also wants to stay there but signing the deal is impossible to do due to the financial fair play? We already talked about that and said that Barca needs to get ride of many players and Griezmann preferably too in order to sign Messi! and what about Aguero and the rest? They will sacrifice Messi and sign the others?? It is weird, losing a legend for free  Some say it's not over yet for Barcelona as LaLiga is on their way down losing one more pillars would not serve them well that's why some observers believe that this announcement from Barcelona may constitute a major deception for the Spanish League. They believe that the departure of the best player in the world from the Spanish League due to the restrictions imposed by the Spanish League may push the League to go easy on the rules of Financial Fair Play to allow him to stay. If this is the case, it is a bold step, especially since Javier Tebas, the president of the association, has repeatedly criticized the financial situation of the club, and stressed a lot about Barcelona's need to reduce salaries by large percentages to keep Messi. I'm not sure that such an attempt at blackmail can help signing a contract. Barcelona is also to blame itself and failed to implement all the measures that could have allowed the club to comply with financial fair play, and when the club instead offered Messi to further reduce his financial ambitions, despite the previous agreement to cut wages by half, then the player himself could not stand it. Also, the big mistake of Barcelona is that the club delayed too long with the solution of this issue and did not begin to take action in advance and therefore was forced to solve its problems in a very short time, without taking into account the opinion of the players themselves, who will not be happy to lose significantly in salary or even change the club. |

 Psg or City? In case you know, the football of the people not of the money. First of all, seriously, it is surprising to know Messi finally wants to leave Barcelona this season. I don't know what is the biggest reason why he doesn't want to renew his contract there. After Barcelona signed Aguero, we all believe that Messi will stay in Barcelona because he seems to be happy playing with his national teammate. I guess Barcelona management and Messi can't get an agreement about salary or how long Messi contracts in Barcelona. However, Messi has the right to decide if he wants to move. I think it is the right time for Messi to get a new experience on another club before he considers retiring. Respect his decision! Regarding where he should go, I am sure PSG is the right place for Messi. Man City already has too many attackers, I doubt if Man City wants to spend more huge money to sign Messi. While PSG seems not signing a single striker yet, and PSG attackers are not as many as Man City has. So, I think PSG is more appropriate as the destination of Messi. Maybe Messi is just tired of waiting for a favorable outcome of negotiations to conclude a contract? And when Messi arrived to sign a contract, the player was asked to reduce his salary even more. It is quite possible that this is some attempt on the part of Barcelona and Messi to put pressure on La Liga, which does not want to make concessions. However, I strongly doubt that this will help much. I think that the whole world is shocked by such a development of events and it looks like the final departure of the Argentine from the club, because we were all assured that the issue was already practically resolved and it only remained to agree on small details. I think that Manchester City would also not refuse to sign Messi even if they have all their strikers, especially since you do not have to pay a lot of money to buy a player. |

Vaccinated people shouldn't be restricted from attending stadium after a long absence imo. Such huge open air place with vaccinated people on it is safe enough, they can play with 100% of the stadium capacity with masks on or 50% without mandatory masks and with social distancing. Obviously accepting more spectators or not should be evaluated every couple of weeks depending from the situation.
Well it depends. If we are talking about fully vaccinated people with 2 doses (or 3) or only with 1 dose. Besides that do you feel comfortable not wearing a mask in a place full of people even vaccinated knowing it will work at 95%? I will wear the mask for a long time. It all depends on the number of components in the vaccine, because there are vaccines for the use of which it is enough to use one component and, accordingly, once. Professional sports are suffering a lot because of the pandemic restrictions and it's really time to make concessions in favor of already vaccinated people and all sorts of talk about discrimination is inappropriate here, because it's time for humanity to end the pandemic and only vaccination will help in solving this problem. Even if the vaccine is not one hundred percent effective, even an efficiency of 70-80 percent will be crucial if as many people as possible are vaccinated. It is sad to watch football matches without spectators or with incomplete filling of stadiums, because a certain aura of sports action is lost. |

US Open starts in a month or so, even if he was injured it will heal properly until then.
he would not skip US Open in any case, and probably not that injured as well, just finding an excuse for a loss and will be a favorite there, not sure about Nadal, will he play at US Open, or skipping all tournaments until the end of the year? Medvedev, Zverev and Thiem could fight him on that surface, but on three sets, probably just make match more interesting For sure Djokovic will not skip the US Open and he will still be one of the favourites going into this tournament. No final word for Nadal if he would enter in the tournament, but he is on the Citi Open in Washington. So we will see how his injury has, or if he has recovered or at least 90%. If he is good then definitely, win or lose in Citi Open he will enter the US Open as this is a bigger stage. We will look at the situation with Novak, because he is still not iron and his body can malfunction due to increased load, and as you well understand, the weather conditions in Tokyo were clearly not ideal about the heat and humidity. Moreover, Novak had to play in several types of programs. It is clear that Novak is very disappointed, because there was an opportunity to win all the Grand Slam tournaments and the Olympics in one season, but fate and fortune clearly had other plans in this regard. Let's hope that Rafa Nadal did not miss the Olympics for nothing and was able to really improve his health on the eve of the US Open and will also be able to claim the title. |

Is FIA literally ruined Vettel race because he stood in dirty air behind Ocon all the race trying to overtake so I don't know if the speculation with his fuel giving extra power can be true. I mean , I can understand that they couldn't take the necessary fuel from it's fuel tank but to D/Q him just because of this seemed to much.
I can also say that Sainz worked a lot in that race and did everything to keep Hamilton on p3 and keep that podium for himself but if I were to chose a pilot who deserved the podium more than Sainz would be Alonso who drove on his birthday like he was 20 again.
Rules are rules, and it is quite obvious that the rules about fuel were also invented for good reason, because the less fuel in the car, the lighter it is, respectively, and the correspondingly higher speed it can develop on a circle. I am sorry that this happened with Vettel, but the requirements are more or less clear here and it is impossible to refer to the non-obvious wording. It is not entirely clear why Aston Martin was sure that after extracting 300 milliliters of fuel, there should have been another 1.44 liters left in the tank and how they are going to prove this. It's nice that Alonso at this age continues to show a high level of driving a car and it's not for nothing that Fernando was recognized as the driver of the day. |

Both are need to all ages of people but for idle money i go for crypto-currencies because it will go extra benefits to mine but fiat is almost fixed nothing changes are happened so if you take risk you will get extra benefits from crypto-currencies.
I have never have thought making deposits on my bank account a while now since I have almost all my coin bought before the Government disallow the deposit and withdrawal through banks, now I wonder how gullible I will be to live my iddle money to banks with zero interest rate. I will choose over crypto everyday in year and that's how the cycle will continue until perhaps we will have a stable coin adobt by Central banks and bitcoin Wil no longer be a threat to the governments. If the government of the state resorts to such measures, then there are good reasons for this, because believe me, no one in their right mind will just do such a thing and undermine their own banking system and, accordingly, trust in it. Another question is that it is simply not necessary to bring the matter to such situations and then questions arise about the correctness of the previous actions of the agency and its competence. Unfortunately, the current financial system in many countries is unstable and leads to high inflation in some countries and negative interest rates in other countries, and both are abnormal phenomena and investments in bitcoin may well smooth out these unpleasant features of the modern economy, but still there are also pitfalls and you should not consider bitcoin a panacea for everything. |

Crypto currency round the world has come to stay, to foster growth in business and build trust among its users but most world leaders are head bent on tackling bitcoin by making difficult policies to affect its stability, but little do they know that this policies of theirs make bitcoin to become more influential among other crypto ,making it scarce and the most sought after crypto currency thereby making the few people that have it to hod and inflate the price to which ever amount they wish to sale on peer to peer bases...what do you think
I didn't understand what you mean at all. Politicians' policy to make bitcoin the most demanded currency? But it was before politicians, Bitcoin was the most coveted and remains now, if we take things in general. Although I personally find it difficult to come up with a use for it in the future without a speculative nature. Yes, if we talk about this moment in time, then we can really only talk about the speculative nature of bitcoin as an asset, but let's not forget that bitcoin is clearly not intended for this, but for completely different purposes, such as performing some functions of fiat currencies. I don't think that in reality bitcoin and other decentralized currencies can displace or even displace traditional fiat currencies in large states, because the governments of these states simply won't allow it, but in small countries like El Salvador this may well happen and bitcoin may occupy a sufficient share in financial calculations. At least bitcoin is quite effective and useful for cross-border transfers of individuals in many cases. |

Bitcoin is a virtual currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or institutions like Banks. By its very own definition, Bitcoin sounds well positioned to kill central banks. Could it? This topic of central banks and their potential replacements are complex with a lot of valid arguments supporting it and against it.
The digital era may be against central banks, but it all not that easy as it has a strong foundation and six centuries of history. The first central banks, often helped nations in funding wars and other initiatives that are supported by the government. The British redefined the concept of central banking in 1844 with a legislative effort that laid the foundation for an institution that had the power to issue currency.
You could say one of the advantages of Bitcoin, or maybe a different cryptocurrency later down the road, is it might move us towards a global currency that is much more traceable than cash. If you really want to stamp or corruption and lower the amount of inequality within the world, the first step needs to be preventing the rich from hiding their money (or at least making it much much more difficult). If they only had a bitcoin-like object to use as currency then they would be forced to declare it and have it taxed fairly. You'd have a public ledger of how truly unbalanced the world is and it might force politicians globally to unite in disgust at the obscene quantities that just a few people currently reside over. Absolute transparency does not mean the eradication of all the problems of the world, because social inequality and unfair distribution of income is much higher than any mechanistic aspirations to change the world. This comes from all sorts of processes that occur in the world around us, and I am not sure that there are normal solutions that would eventually suit all the inhabitants of such a huge planet as Earth. Capitalism has grown out of all the modern economic systems of the world and assumes a free market and competition between the players of this market. Are you sure that absolute transparency of transactions will lead to the solution of all problems, when there is one huge force in the face of the state and which can decide whether these transactions are legal in the opinion of this state? And the state sees everything perfectly and tracks everything. Oh, the naive ones... |

Yes Bitcoin is absolutely better than Fiat. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are not immensely more stable than Fiat currency but they are also safe. According to the crypto specialists Bitcoin will supplant Fiat currency very soon.
Bitcoin is indeed a great Cryptocurrency, when you put your money in Fiat Currency, it doesn't grow. But when one invest in Bitcoin, and have patience. You will definitely make a nice profit. Bitcoin is getting popular everyday, and I believe with time, bitcoin will eventually supplant Fiat Currency. Also with time, many countries will understand the value of Bitcoin, and legalize it. I envy your optimism I myself am an ardent fan of bitcoin, but this process has a lot of underwater phenomena that prevent the legalization and strong spread of bitcoin.It is always interesting to listen to the opinion of specialists who remain in an insignificant minority, who talk about the absolute advantages of decentralized currencies and the insurmountable disadvantages of conventional fiat currencies It will be especially interesting to listen to the opinion of these specialists about the issue, about the management of the economy of an individual state. How can you manage the economy when some guys are swearing like hell what kind of commission is due to minners, and how much to make a commission for transactions... Well, well... |

the two currencies, both digital and fiat money, in my opinion have similarities, both are acceptable to the public because they have a function as a transaction tool in making payments and purchasing goods and services, fiat currency has value and is trusted as a medium of exchange because it is issued by the government while digital money apart from being an investment tool, digital money can also be used as a transaction tool even though it is not issued by the government, but in this case of course there are many policies from the government that prohibit the use of digital currency as a transaction tool and one of them is the nature of digital currency which is not limited and cannot be controlled by the government, however, along with technological advances in today's modern era, of course, one day the government will be able to accept digital currency as a substitute for fiat currency or the currency we usually use today, because currency digital has b many advantages both in terms of transaction speed, security and ease of storage.
Digital currencies can also be issued by the states themselves, which these states have recently been using very well and are looking for new options Whether the states will want such a competitor as digital cryptocurrencies is a very big question, because there are a lot of pitfalls, for example, about the level of emission. No offense, as the head of state, you would like to influence the inflation rate in your state and somehow try to influence it. Now imagine when there are guys from a foreign state who are trying to influence this... Personally, if I were the head of this state, I would think about it a little... And even more so about the displacement of the national currency by some competitor... |

I think Milan did a great move signing Giroud. The French forward introduced himself in the press conference and immediately clarified his objectives: he was welcomed to Milan like a champion and he seems very happy to be in Milan. He showed a lot of humility and great desire to put his experience at the service of the group. He said he won a lot in the past and that he wants to do the same for the Rossoneri.
Last but not least, on the possible dualism with Ibra he stated that: "Great players always find a way to adapt, I think we can be a great couple". I think so too.
Giroud is indeed a good striker, Giroud proved to be impressive in the pre-season test match against Nice. In that match Giroud scored a goal after replacing Rafael Leao in the 61st minute. Giroud's goal was his debut goal since signing from Chelsea, and managed to save AC Milan from defeat. This proves that AC Milan is right to bring in Giroud, it looks like Giroud will shine at AC Milan. I will only be happy if Giroud starts showing results in a team like Milan, because Milan deserves to reach a new level, rather than the results that have been in the past few years.To my great regret, Milan has begun to lose its status in recent years, which allowed it to win titles, including at the European level. Inter, to the great horror of all interested parties, began to take the first roles and the first place is a clear illustration of my opinion. Moreover, the club has lost Donnarumma, who was previously relied on and supported, when the club and the coach always relied on the player, even when he made productive mistakes. I think Giroud will be able to bring the necessary help to the offensive line. |

I feel you need to find yourself another sport to watch if you claim Rashford has failed in 2 seasons lol. I tell you and i repeat it to you that in the whole of EPL, No Left winger has a better stat than Marcus Rashford; Rashford had over 30 g+a in the league last season with a broken shoulder and bad ankle and you call him a failed winger ?
I am not a Manchester United fan but even I know Rashford is a great player. True,,, he was not able to deliver on some games, and in some matches he was a bad choice to put on the field but which great player cannot perform when he is dealing with injuries most of his playing time? I think the only mistake Ole make with him, is to play him when he is in real pain. Rashford himself is a pro which is why he chose to play on but sometimes as a coach you must make the decision for the player's own health. Good luck to him and get his injury dealt with. He is a monster and a nice guy. I wish him all well. What is so great about Rashford that you are so worried about him? Ashford loses the team competition at his club and only the head coach, who sees all the preparation of the team, decides who to put on matches and who to leave in reserve. I myself am worried about the player's career, but in any case, everything should be shown by the player's own game and the team's results.Some people say that Manchester United need a new coach, but I do not agree with this opinion. The club has made good purchases in the face of new players and now we need to see how the head coach will be able to transform the team's game. Manchester United, with its history, is already used to titles led by the great Ferguson, so we will see how it turns out in the new season. |

Does anyone know what happens with the Vettel situation? Not like he won, so I do not think that anyone would be doing any worse but I know few places have "podium" bets so I just wanted to ask if in general people know what happens with that. When people accused me for being a Max fanboi because of Silverstone crash and I said it was 100% Hamilton fault and even a bit deliberate as well, hell even heard someone say I am racist like crash had anything to do with someone's skin color somehow?
However THIS is a racing incident, Bottas was out, dude just got a lock up and hit Lando, not like he would want that neither, this is first career out of Bottas in first lap, dude never got out in first lap before, this was 100% racing incident, even though it hurts me as Max supporter, this was fair racing with a unlucky ending.
I am not a supporter of Max, but we must understand that in the previous race Hamilton risked being left without continuing the race himself and everything would have remained at the same level about the gap in the championship. The same situation is about Bottas ' accident, you need to have a very good prediction of the situation to think that entering one rider can lead to such wonderful consequences for the team. The most disappointing thing is that we were not able to see the Red Bull cars in normal combat conditions, although I, as a relatively outside observer, am pleased to see that there is an intrigue in the championship again, rather than at the beginning of the championship, when it seemed that Mercedes would not be able to present Red Bull at the end of the season. |

Bale had his fair share of glory but today you are giving him too much attention. He is a falling star, getting inconsistent season after season. Ancelotti does not look like the best coach for him right now because Carletto's football is very much different from the one that a player like Bale would require.
Zidane is a great coach, I believe Bale took it on a personal level not wanting to adapt to Zinedine's football. Too bad for him, the guy has lost some room to improve.
I remember later, when I watched Bale play he was on par with Messi or Ronaldo. His was great gameplay. Lots of goals and assists. Gradually it began to fall. He suffered a lot of injuries, gradually losing his fitness. And at last, he didn't adapt himself to Zidane's strategy. His last hope at the moment is Ancelotti. If he can't adapt himself to Ancelotti's strategy, he can't fix fitness. Then we might see Bale retire very soon. Let's not put Bale on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi. I don't like how Zidane treated Bale, with all the great respect for Zidane as a player and as a coach who managed to lead this squad to Champions League titles, but still Messi and Ronaldo are a completely different level and we will begin to understand this only after the completion of their magnificent careers. Messi is a football Mozart who, thanks to the wonders of modern pharmacology, was able to overcome his small stature and his brilliant talent and faith in him of a big club like Barcelona achieved great results. Ronaldo, on the other hand, achieved everything himself with hard work and the development of his above-average level to cosmic peaks. |

I'm not so sure about Haaland, to be honest. Yeah, Dortmund really don't want to sell him this summer. They want to keep him at the team at least for one more year. But if they get an offer which they wouldn't like to reject, then everything could change about their decision. Some sources were saying that Chelsea were preparing to make an offer around 175 million pounds. If this happens, I don't think that Dortmund would even think of keeping him at the team still.
although at that price I'm not sure chelsea can bring haaland to stamford bridge because the reason is clear that now haaland is still signaling that he will still be in the dortumud uniform for at least the next year, besides that Sebastan Kehl also firmly stated that haaland will stay in dortmund The most important reason may be that the player's father and the player himself and, accordingly, his agent may not want to transfer to this particular club. Money decides everything and I'm afraid that Chelsea will have to use this argument to the full. The club, represented by its representatives, can talk as much as you like about the player, stuffing the price, but Borussia with its transfers in this current transfer window has already shown that it is ready to get rid of players for an acceptable price. And in the case of Haaland for a very, very reasonable price |

Lionel Messi is on the closing on renewing his contract with Barcelona this summer. After his contract with Barcelona expired last June.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Barcelona reached in the last hours a final agreement with Messi regarding the renewal until 2026.
Sources close to Barcelona indicated that there were some marginal matters that were pending in the club's agreement with Messi, but they were resolved in the last hours.
The sources confirmed that Messi had already agreed to reduce his salary in the new contract by 50%.
The Spanish newspaper said that the official announcement of the renewal does not lack only an agreement on reducing salaries in Barcelona. And "Sport" added that Messi's contract renewal will become official in the next few days.
Are you sure that this endless soap series can be considered complete? In any case, Messi must agree to a salary reduction, because these are the new post-pandemic realities and requirements of La Liga. How this will be formalized is a completely different question, over which the lawyers of the Barcelona club have been fighting for several months. As far as I understand, all payments worthy of the level of such a big player and a club legend are spread over the years and taking into account the subsequent move of Messi to the United States of America, so I would advise to treat with great caution the rumors that say that Messi will earn as much as before the academy times. The market has narrowed and I am not sure that Barcelona will finish finishing its club budget even for such a player. |

It is true that Bitcoin is not dependent on Tesla and Amazon, but in many cases, these large corporations temporarily influence Bitcoin in the decisions of different individuals. These organizations motivate their followers to take a variety of actions by top-level individuals and, among both positive or negative comments, influence them. However, these issues have a temporary effect. However, these issues have a temporary effect. Although the decisions of organizations like Tesla and Amazon about Bitcoin have a lot of influence on the public which has a lot of positive or negative effects on them, they cannot control or influence it completely.
Short term is the keyword, remember when Tesla confirmed that they have bitcoin as a hedge in their balance sheet? after that confirmation the price rocketed to $50k-$60k, but after that short term effect and because of Elon Musk himself, the price plummeted to lowest low for his year. But the effect is long gone now, bitcoin has been on the uptick as of the last 10 days and we are heading to $45k maybe in the next coming days. So those influencers and news has an effect, but if it is a negative one, it will not last that long. I don't think that the latest news about Elon Musk and Tesla can affect the strategic behavior of the bitcoin price. The market is trying to find a point of equilibrium in the current situation and anything can happen now. It cannot be denied that the market was very overheated before and therefore the behavior of the exchange rate price was influenced by short-term phenomena such as Chinese events and Tesla's behavior about the purchased portion of bitcoins. Now events from other market sectors should be superimposed on the market, and only after that it will be possible to talk about the short-term behavior of the exchange rate. I am afraid that we are waiting for some correction at the end of the summer, caused by more fundamental factors than the behavior of Elon Musk and Tesla. |
