6 associate teams including Bermuda, Canada and Netherlands were part of that worldcup. I do agree that so many associate teams destroy the level of competition. Only good performing associate teams like Ireland and Afghanistan should be included in such top level tournaments.
Now we can't do anything which happen fifteen years back, but we can do some better things for future cricket which are very important and applicable for all if ICC having any positive mindset for cricket because right now they are just trying to have some bad tactics which are surely hurting cricket.
Even we have now better system League system is operating, and associate countries are playing in their relative league for promotion which is giving them good experience but still we have big gaped which need to reduced with few laws and funding from ICC for these countries.
But for me in next few years we need to close this ODI chapter and having some better intention for T-10 and T-20 leagues with Test matches for having better results and more fan base in all countries.

I don’t think test match is going to be the way to go. It is actually going to be better if the T20 and T10 format is given a big push. T20 is already very popular and I think the T10 format is going to be even more popular. So, these two formats are going to be the best option for ICC to increase regular cricket playing teams, but the problem is I don’t think ICC is going to be very interested in increasing teams that will play cricket regularly. For generating more revenue they will be promoting the T10 format, and that is going to bring in more teams eventually.

His career is not ending, there are other goals that must be carved out by him, joining LAFC actually to strengthen his fitness to be ready for the world cup. If he can show all his talents at this event, possible that he will be offered by a top European club. Bale is a player also can be concluded is not too old for a career, July 16 he will be 33 years old. While we can see there are still many older players above him having a career at big clubs.

I also think that his main target is going to be the World Cup right now. He really does not seem to be interested in club football. So, this is going to prepare him for the World Cup but if he was at all interested in club football he wouldn’t have taken a decision like this.



Surely he has few years left in his career as good player, and he can regain his best in coming days with having some good performance in world up and play in LAFC for one season. If he is able to perform in good way then surely we will expect good change for him in next season, and he could be in his desired team for next season, right now going to LAFC is good and positive change for him and his career.

After having some amazing seasons he achieves some good success but sadly in new Real Madrid setup he fails to take his place and now leaving his club just for having some better time in game which is not available in current team due to some good players already having his place.

He was once a Real Madrid star. And he has given Real Madrid some really good time. It is just a little unexpected, let me rephrase, it is actually really unexpected for a lot of people that he just cannot get his place back again in Real Madrid. And now his main target is the World Cup. But I really don’t think he’s going to have very good success in the World Cup as well.

I know very well that Gareth Bale is going to get a lot more play time in his new team. But I still don't know how he made a decision like that. I think he had a lot better options than this. Even though his current performance does not suggest that he was being targeted by top tier or even mid tier teams. But I certainly think he could have done better than this. This decision of his has made me think that he is not serious about football anymore. If he was, I think he would have waited and made a better decision about his future. I am really disappointed to see this as I also think a lot of other people are.
And what other teams were considered besides Los Angeles? It seems that his salary played an important role in choosing a new team. This is his choice, I can’t say if it’s bad or good, he will have constant playing practice with good pay, there is nothing bad for a football player. And according to his decision, it is difficult to say that he began to relate to football differently by signing this contract.

Didn't he have any team interested to bring him into the team from Europe or maybe England? 

I am sure if he had waited he could have found a better team. At least he could have been in some genuine action. I really don't think this is a good decision taken by him. but I also agree that this is his choice.  and I think we also know that he is not going to be in the news as he was before. Actually, I am a little disappointed and I think a lot of people are watching this decision. we all have seen him play at the top level. we have seen him rise from nothing and being something. it is really sad to see his career ending in such a way Sad.

West Ham continue to make good transfers. First they are close to sign Alphonse Areola permanently from PSG on a €11m deal. Fabianski is quite old now as he is 37. West Ham must be thinking of making Areola their main goalkeeper by the beginning of next season. His performance was quite decent when he had chances last season.

After this deal, they are interested in signing Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse also. He has been the most important player for his team and he is a pro when it comes to free-kicks too. I wonder how Southampton will answer their offer.

https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/12691/12640604/west-ham-agree-163-11m-areola-deal-interest-in-ward-prowse

James Ward-Prowse should be a really good one. West ham has already made some really good transfers. I think the idea of having a new regular goalkeeper is going to work out really well for them. And we all know that a goalkeeper has to be really agile to do his work correctly.

If the goalkeeper of your team is old you will not have a very reliable defender in the match. So, I think they are going in the right direction. And I really like that they are thinking like a coordinated club right now. I don’t think the set-piece has been a strength for them. So bringing in James Prowse is going to be a really good decision.

We all have a very good idea now that ICC is anything but honest. They are always going to look for profits instead of thinking about what is best for cricket in the long run. And that is happening because of some corrupt authority personnel in the ICC. Everyone should have a problem if a national team is made out of a hundred percent foreign players. Here we are talking about how to fix this situation and meanwhile, we have more teams like that about to take part in the next World Cup. It feels as if ICC is actually encouraging this type of behavior or should I say “Business Policy.” This needs to be stopped ASAP.
ICC is mostly headed by Australia and England now in last two decades we have few changes, but policies are still as we have few decades back sadly the change is also having no major impact even few corrupt peoples are joined, and they are bringing same policies which are helpful for few peoples and most are not having any positive return from this.

As we all know Olympics is the biggest even, and we are not in because of ICC policies, and they never like to join this as it can hurt their stake mean for this they have to bring some big changes, and it's not acceptable for B-3 so with this all we have to live in this hell world and never accept any positive and solid policy for bright future of cricket.

The main problem is that in the 2007 World Cup ICC tried to play it with a lot of teams. If I am not wrong 16 teams played in that World Cup end it was a disaster for the better teams. A lot of big names were eliminated in that World Cup by smaller teams. And that caused a lot of less revenue to be generated.

That also hurt ICC funding as well. It is like the ICC and the top four teams made it back that the World Cup is going to be played with less teams so that the revenue is going to be higher but if they did continue with having a lot more teams in the World Cup it would have made a lot more revenue than they are making right now.

Lewandowski is Bayern's best striker to date and has scored many goals for Bayern, then it's actually a big loss for bayern if they let lewandowski off as a free agent next year. €60 million is not money that will be easy for barca to get (looking at their current financial condition), so I believe that barca will try to continue negotiating for bayern to reduce lewandowski's price.
I continue to wonder what Barcelona will be doing with the strikers they have and the ones they want to have.They have the likes of Aubameyang who came from Arsenal to deliver them,he scored a couple of goals that helped Barcelona get to the position they were able to reach last season.Now they want to bring in Lewandowski,another center forward who does even more better than Aubameyang,that means they won't be having problem with attack next season.
If they are able to acquire the services of Lewa,then I will say Barca are strong favourites for the Lalliga tittle next season.Nevertheless,let's wait to see what happens in the coming days.
Yes, we will wait until the transfer window closes, I'm sure in the end Lewandowski will become Barcelona's. This case is actually not difficult if Barcelona are in good financial condition, because the player himself, Lewandowski, really wants to play with Barcelona. So yes, even though the price might be lower than Bayern Munich would like it to be but at least it's good if it comes close and comes with some bonuses to make. I personally am very optimistic that Lewandowski will play for Barcelona next season, although at the moment it still looks difficult to achieve.

I am not sure if it is going to happen between Barcelona and Robert Lewandowski. Things really don’t look very good from Barcelona‘s point of view, because they really cannot spend so much money on only one player. Especially under the current condition of the finance of Barcelona.
But, I think if Barcelona don’t make any more offer and just wait what they have offered to Bayern Munich, I think Bayern Munich is going to sell Robert Lewandowski. I really don’t want Barcelona to spend so much money on this player. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 27, 2022, 12:05:49 PM
I think I can say that every club in Italy would like to have Ronaldo. He's gotten a bit older, but he's still very good. I do not know what the relationship is between Ronaldo and the management of the club at Juventus. I think he still has a good relationship with the players. If a club like AS Roma gets Ronaldo, that will of course change the title chances for this club, let alone what happens to the chances for Inter Miklan if he went there or Napoli.

The rumor regarding his price is 12m/€ before taxes so there are not so many clubs who can pay so much.
Also, he wants probably to play in the champions league so if he comes back to Italy it can be only Juventus or Milan.
Inter have a problem with money right now I can't see them depending so much.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, I think Juventus is the best option. And after that comes Milan. Inter is probably not going to be interested because they have their own problems with the financial situation going on right now.

But I really highly doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be back in the Italian league. The last I heard was that he was thinking about staying in Manchester United. So, in that comparison I think going to Juventus or Milan should be considered a good move. First of all, he will be able to play in the champions league, and secondly, I think he will have better support from his team.

Bale have finally sealed his new potential bid with MLS side, Los Angeles FC. Bale move on like a recommendation, because been in Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelloti is hell. Talking about his stats, he's still in good shape only if he starts seeing tight games and regular play time. Although the Walesman will still come back only that his he sign a year contract with LOs Angeles FC. Real Madrid Don't know what they have just missed, all these talks are in the past as the team have new set of young Players who delivered in games.

I know very well that Gareth Bale is going to get a lot more play time in his new team. But I still don't know how he made a decision like that. I think he had a lot better options than this. Even though his current performance does not suggest that he was being targeted by top tier or even mid tier teams. But I certainly think he could have done better than this. This decision of his has made me think that he is not serious about football anymore. If he was, I think he would have waited and made a better decision about his future. I am really disappointed to see this as I also think a lot of other people are.
1969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 26, 2022, 07:30:57 AM
Gareth Bale have sealed a move to Los Angeles FC. He will exits the Los Blancos side in the coming weeks and join the MLS.
Well, I don't want to be here criticizing his decision, but man what the hell is he thinking? i watched some US soccer games and seriously i almost laid my TV on the floor they play so horrible, i lost money betting on US local games and said to myself: no it's not, i don't bet on soccer games anymore from the USA. they are horrible when playing. strange that the US first team play very well. But anyway, with this decision it's as if he had retired

Well, I think something like this was somewhat expected from a footballer who enjoys playing golf now Lips sealed. But, I have to say this is a decision which means that he doesn't have any interest in club football right now. I actually think he does not have any interest in football altogether. He could have been one of the legends of football. I still remember people talking about Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez being the next Messi and Ronaldo. But Messi and Ronaldo have ended up outlasting them. It is really sad to see great potential going to Waste. Even in Real Madrid Gareth Bale didn't same to be concentrating in his game and this decision has made everything clear to the people in my opinion.
1970  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin (BTC) Crash To $13K After The Fed Rate Hike? on: June 26, 2022, 06:45:41 AM
Bitcoin was created to be deflationary, so any increase in the inflation rate of fiat should naturally make people adopt Bitcoin more. If it's not happening according to the design of bitcoin we might as well believe the Feds news didn't have an effect on bitcoin whatsoever.

With what is going on, we can see bitcoin is still not out of the game. Bitcoin is one of the asset classes that is rated as a risk asset so I believe it will be greatly affected by the Fed, every time interest rates increase, assets like bitcoin and stocks move in the direction of the trending decrease rather than increase.
Bitcoin was created with a maximum supply as a hedge against inflation but that is not really possible right now because of the volatility and risk it brings.
1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 26, 2022, 05:45:46 AM
Hakim Ziyech have a possible link move to AC Milan. Milan have been watching Hakim for a long time and they think now is the perfect time to open talks with Hakim agents. Meanwhile Chelsea wants to loan out Moroccan player to AC Milan, it seems they don't want any permanent deal now. However, the contract will be a done deal in the coming weeks while Ziyech would be happy to to fly to the San Siro stadium to undergo medical in the coming weeks.

Hakim Ziyech is someone who came into the club with really big expectations. But his time in the club has not been great at all, to be honest.
He has not performed well let alone up to the expectations. And it is quite safe to say that the wizard has lost its power.
I think some players are just not made for EPL and he might be one of them.


I am hearing that he has even gone so far as to file for requesting a transfer.
And AC Milan is also doing everything they can to get this player on the team.

I have started seeing on some sources that Liverpool have started considering the selling option for Mohamed Salah in this summer. I mean they are thinking of doing this on the condition that they get an offer around 60 million pounds. This is really shocking to me as I wasn't expecting this to happen already now. Maybe at the end of next season this would have happened but not now. I hope this stays as a rumour only in the coming days. Otherwise Liverpool can have big struggles if they haven't thought of an alternative for Salah.
If Liverpool next season without Moh Salah will be the biggest mistake that makes this club not have the ideal potential. Exceeding expectations like last season. Moh Salah contribution is still very much needed and must remain a symbol of Liverpool. It is possible that the rate of 60 million pounds is not an expensive price for other clubs to be able to take this opportunity. I really don't think Liverpool will do that when they don't have a replacement for a striker like Moh Salah.

I mean I know that there are better players compared to Muhammad Salah to be played in Liverpool and if they spend enough money they will get better players than him who will also be very suitable for Liverpool.

But I don't think selling Mohammad Salah is going to be the best choice for Liverpool. He has been in the team for a long time and it is not easy finding a player who knows the English Premier League like Mohammed Salah and also performs well in a team like Liverpool. I think even if they are considering him to sell for 60 million pounds I don't think they will find someone who will be equally good or even better than him.
1973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stake platforms for BNB on: June 25, 2022, 04:09:02 AM
Hi guys,

Does anyone know any stake platforms for staking BNB? I'm waiting for bnb final drop them I will buy some and hold it for a few years or until the uptrend cycle is reached. So looking for stake platforms to stake bnb to earn some passive income. Thanks

There are many exchanges and platforms that support staking for BNB, but I would recommend going straight to the binance exchange. As BNB is a product of Binance and there is no better and safer place for you to store and stake your BNB. The APY levels may vary a little between platforms but overall not much, in my opinion.
1974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China warns Bitcoin is heading to zero on: June 24, 2022, 04:13:11 PM
This is probably what the Chinese government has been waiting for for years, unfortunately for them it will never happen. A news coming from the country that always considers bitcoin as the top enemy is really not worth our attention. Their claims regarding bitcoin have become futile and they have almost no influence on bitcoin. Perhaps they were too delusional, overconfident in themselves.

As he said, it could take months, even years, no one can predict exactly when bitcoin will bounce back and surpass the old ATH . However, one thing I can assure you is that bitcoin will rise again and there will be a new ATH, but how much and when will only time tell. The most talked about prediction is probably the bitcoin halving in 2024, so let's wait until then.
1976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin price and actions to raise it on: June 24, 2022, 03:48:14 PM
`snip~
in the position of lowly people like me, indeed giving the knowledge that we control to those closest to us has helped the adoption of bitcoin, especially if this method is continued by the people we have taught, so that over time bitcoin will spread by itself. especially if it is presented with evidence of success while holding bitcoin, then this is easier to pass on to other people, but we must remember that we must also provide an explanation of the risks

Right, It is our mission to spread bitcoin by giving knowledge to our brothers and friends. However, we must also warn them about the risks bitcoin could pose when investing, and staying away from other cryptocurrencies not bitcoin, they are not ready for that.

Today, with the increase of social networks, it is not hard to find advertisements about bitcoins and cryptocurrencies, but in order to understand properly and accurately, an instructor like us, who has experience in the market, is necessary.

Power cuts for miners will likely be temporary since Iran is entering summer and it needs to ensure enough supplies for the country during this time. It is possible that the power cut to all licensed miners could also be part of an attempt to detect and combat illegal mining facilities that use unauthorized electricity.

Recently, the market has fallen continuously for various reasons and I don't believe that this is the cause of the market's current weakness.
1978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is being too nice. Most people don't deserve the chance to buy it so cheap. on: June 23, 2022, 02:37:36 AM
Since there is no positive news regarding bitcoin and crypto right now,we can still wait for more "discounted" price.You know the usual method,buy the rumor,sell the news.So if there are no solid rumor yet,wait till the market started to show slight recovery and then go in.

Market is unpredictable, if it was as easy as you say, many people wouldn't have bought at $60k and then got liquidated for $18k. Markets are not governed by a set of rules, we buy only when we feel comfortable and satisfied with the price. In case you had purchased bitcoin beforehand, you should hold on to it, but if you have not yet acquired bitcoin, don't hesitate, act now while the price is low. I don't think we're going to have much of a chance to get cheap bitcoins anymore.
1979  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Age of bitcoiners on: June 23, 2022, 02:24:21 AM
I would say maximum number of Bitcoiners on this forum are from 2013-2015. So, Age of Bitcoiners above 30 is going to be the maximum (atleast in this part of the forum) as most of the young ones are still wandering in Altcoins section. People do stupid stuff in young age and be more gentle as they mature, Bitcoin is that maturity which they will get after some years.

I agree that Gen Z is being seen as a major force in this market, but they are not targeting bitcoin but altcoins and shitcoins instead. They love to hunt for hidden gems and are willing to take any risks. After the recent market crash by Luna and some lending protocols, a lot of GEN Z lost a lot of money and they slowly started to realize only bitcoin is eternal and nothing else can be compared to it.
1980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: History is always on the side of innovation(bitcoin), not the side of skeptics on: June 22, 2022, 02:42:36 PM
Few will understand this.
For sure that most of the people who are crying because of this small dump are those people who bought Bitcoin just for money. They don't understand innovation, how Bitcoin works and how Bitcoin will help our finance.
We should always have a long-term mindset here.

90% of people invest in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies based on the returns they bring, few do it based on the technology behind it. Truth be told, most people here don't care what bitcoin is, what its technology is, or what it's going to do in the future . They are just investing blindly in the hopes of quickly becoming millionaires and exiting when they get there. I have seen a lot of people get rich from bitcoin and crypto but then they just enjoy life by doing expensive shopping and spending all night. They don't want or do nothing to spread the magic of bitcoin, that's really sad.


The market is going through bear days, it's a bit bad, but this is not the end of Bitcoin, it's just the beginning of a revolution called Bitcoin.
It is not bad, it is an opportunity to buy bitcoin at a huge discount.
It is also not the beginning of the revolution, technically that was 2009 when bitcoin was introduced.


It's a bit sad because our assets have decreased but It is a great chance for those who see bitcoin's potential and who have not had the chance to buy cheap bitcoin before.
I mean, bitcoin is a new beginning and the stories of bitcoin's devaluation are only a small part of the bitcoin revolution. There is no peace without bloodshed and loss.
