Especially Jadeja played the most role in this final match as he was an old experienced player. Due to which he managed to score ten runs in two balls and in the last moment of the match the entire gallery audience was surprised and they thought that Gujarat would win. But this dream of Gujarat was broken by the last two balls and Chennai collected the IPL cup for the fifth time.
I heard in a news media that this was the last match in Dhoni career.  Because of his age, his followers believed that this IPL season was the last win of his career. But Mahindra Dhoni said that I want to play another match because of the love of the audience. There are few experienced all-rounders like Dhoni so he would like to use his intelligence and get another IPL season in his career.
After scoring big target Gujarat were in good position but CSK which was chasing this have good start and then good hitting from their batsmen in middle overs also help them for having this target and trophy as well Jadeja done his work on right time for his captain with this all things were favoring Dhoni and his team for the fifth title.
With mostly are feeling Dhoni play his last match already for the CSK and most chances now in coming season he could be joined this team as mentor because CSK wants to keep him for better results and motivation of their new generation players which will give them good confidence which helps for having positive results as well now IPL surely needs player like Dhoni for some more time because his presence could be having good impact for the fans as well which is important for the IPL as well.

Even if MS Dhoni does not provide too much value with the bat he is still one of the best wicketkeepers in the whole world.
Of course, he is still the best captain in my opinion. He can create a winning situation in a match for his team from a situation that does not look like anything winnable.
It would be better if he played in the IPL next season, in my opinion.

I don't see his performance dropping at all.
If anything his hands behind the stumps have actually gotten quicker. He is one captain that any team would like to have.

He is a very valuable asset for Napoli and Napoli must retain this player as much as possible. but the problem is that there are a lot of offers coming in for this player now which indirectly can also be very annoying considering that there must be a new hope for Osimhen with the offers from big clubs and with the lure of today's high fees.
Victor Osimhen has become a treasured asset for Napoli because of his outstanding play thus keeping him on board is essential. Napoli should put Osimhen future first over the enticement of lucrative bids from major clubs and large transfer costs. Napoli persistence in trying to get him a new deal shows how determined they are to keep him on their team. Although the situation is uncertain right now there is hope that Napoli will overcome these obstacles and continue to gain from Osimhen abilities and services.

Victor Osimhen has played brilliantly this season. He scored 26 goals in 32 matches, and 5 goals in 6 Champions League matches. One of those players Napoli will definitely not want to lose. If Napoli aims to win the title next season, they should definitely keep Victor Osimhen in the squad. Victor Osimhen leaving Napoli will have a negative impact on Napoli's performance. Victor Osimhen is only 24 now. And his fitness is very good. He will want to serve the team for a long time. And so several big teams will be interested in getting Victor Osimhen in the team next season.

UAE could not score big because they were all out it is wrong they lost wickets from the start and they could not score big because they lost wickets from the start. 
United Arab Emirates got all out in 47 overs which means if they could have batted for three more overs then I don't think they would have scored much runs. Against West Indies if they could have batted well from the start and built a good partnership, the score would have been bigger for UAE but they failed to build any big partnership. West Indies won the first ODI of the three-match ODI series to take a 1-0 lead against the hosts. These two teams will face each other again in the second ODI match on 6th.
West Indies is an experienced team and they should win this match and the series against the UAE. I was keen to see how the United Arab Emirates play this match and to my surprise, they played well to score over 200 runs. There were some good batting performances by Ali Naseer and Vriitya Aravind which helped UAE. I am hopeful that United Arab Emirates may gain good experience from this series.
Even if they manage to win a single match in the series, it will be a good for them.
Yes that's right, West Indies is a much stronger team than UAE. As a strong team, this series is supposed to be in the possession of West Indies.  But the biggest question is whether the West Indies cricket team can win this series?  The West Indies' opponents, the United Arab Emirates, also played very well in the first match. The UAE cricket team also has many talented batsmen. It is also possible that the UAE can turn the game around in the upcoming matches
UAE is good but obviously no comparison to west indies,they  are old and experienced.
I think west indies will win this series ,UAE will have difficulty in defeating them.
This is already known that West Indies will win the series. However there are situations in which underdogs have performed well. West Indies at times used to perform exceptional way. Same team at times go completely down with their performance. In a match the team chase 350+ runs, by the next match on the same pitch within few days difference used to end up scoring less than 150 runs. So, inconsistency in performance from West Indies could favour UAE to some extent.

The chances of UAE winning against West Indies were slim. But in the last few matches, we have seen a good performance from UAE. So we had high expectations from the UAE players in this series. UAE bowlers are not experienced enough. But they have some excellent batsmen. But the batsmen of UAE are not playing well against the bowlers of West Indies. UAE was badly defeated in the first match. If West Indies win the toss and bat, then at least they will give a target of 350 runs. Because UAE bowlers performance is not good.

I don't think Roma has the ability to be focused in all leagues. I don't think the Roma team is too strong either. Roma is an average team. They have been able to play well in the last two seasons due to Mourinho's excellent match strategy. But if the Roma management is interested in spending money next season, I believe Mourinho will be able to strengthen this team. However, in the past, Roma management was not interested in building the team by spending a lot of money. They may be thrifty this season too.
It is true that it seems that Roma also feel lucky enough to be able to compete until the final round in the European league because we know that the players are still filled with the same squad as last season. Maybe there is truth if the owner is willing to spend money to buy new players that can increase the performance power of his squad and Mourinho will be more flexible in determining options for a better starting line-up. We will still be waiting for Roma's revival in the European league next season and surely Mourinho's frustration in this year's final will be avenged by him in the European league next season until he reaches the final again.
Not because AS Roma was lucky but there was a great coach who was able to bring AS Roma to the top of the European league final.
Without the help of Jose Mourinho AS Roma would not be this great and would not be this strong and I am only sure that in next year's season AS Roma will have a better performance in the European league.

You are right, the Roma team qualified for the Europa League final due to Mourinho's extraordinary match strategy. And because of an experienced coach like Mourinho, Roma won the Conference League the previous season. Roma won a cup after a long time. The Roma team spends very little money on building their team. If Roma management had spent enough money to build their team then Roma's performance would have been more stable. Mourinho might even be fighting for the Serie A title.

It's quite unfortunate that Bilbao was only able to draw against Real Madrid, because if Bilbao manages to beat Real Madrid or win in that match then Bilbao will finish in seventh position. So yes, it was Osasuna who was able to maximize the home factor against Girona, in the end Osasuna only had enough to win with a score of 2-1 and that was enough for Osasuna to end the season in seventh place and will play in the Conference League next season.

This match was very important for Atheltic Bilbao. A win in this match would have seen Atheltic Bilbao move up to seventh in the table and qualify for the Conference League. Athletic Bilbao players tried hard to win this match. They made many attacks. But unfortunately, they could not win against Madrid. Madrid is a very experienced club. It is much more difficult for Madrid to win against them at home. And finally, Atheltic Bilbao managed to draw the match 1-1.
26  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: June 05, 2023, 04:16:18 PM
Investing excess or spare money is a good idea because investing could allow us to earn a higher return rather than keeping the money in a savings account. Investing can help us to diversify our portfolio and with that we can manage the risk. By investing in a variety of different assets we can spread the risk and it will reduce the impact of any individual investment who does not perform well. Investing can help you achieve long term financial goals such as retirement or purchasing house and lot. By investing over time we can build an amount of wealth that can be used to fund these goals.

The benefits of investing are many, and it can be said that investing is the fastest way for us to get rich. But besides the benefits, investing also comes with a lot of risks, which can make us lose if we invest in the wrong way. Investing is not easy, as many people say, and that's why everyone invests, but not too many are successful.

One effective approach could be to focus on providing better quality of products/services at competitive price.

How to increase the quality of products and services but still have to be cheap? Do you have a business? I have not seen any business that can do that, because to create good products, it is necessary to have quality raw materials and good people to develop high quality products. Does that mean it will cost more to manufacture, and how can it be sold cheaply? That clearly shows you are in the customer's position to make that request, not the boss's.
28  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you spend more-do you get more? on: June 05, 2023, 04:06:14 PM
i will save it more than spend it even if i get more because if we are wasteful we will not be able to enjoy the results we have any longer. but if we are wasteful it will not make us rich in the future. but not everyone has the same principle as this, there are people who are simple enough to earn a lot but also spend a lot, some people are looking for money just to spend it, even others just to find what their life needs.

One more thing, easy said but difficult to do. I have the same opinion as you, but when you have a lot of money, I don't believe you will not want to eat better, use more expensive things. Everyone has a need to eat well and dress well, so that can only be done on paper and will never happen. I don't believe someone is rich and likes to live a poor life.

Today, bitcoin is very valuable, and it can be said that of all assets, bitcoin is more valuable than gold. Have you seen anyone give away free gold, even a little? So never think that someone will give you bitcoins, an asset worth tens of dollars per bitcoin. There is no free lunch, so don't spend time looking for free food, work, and earn money to invest in bitcoin.
30  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin on: June 05, 2023, 03:38:08 PM
Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.

Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.

I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.

I too have been seeing such unlikeable threads being created all over the board recently. Why would anyone want to push propaganda towards children? Its not like they have money to invest into Bitcoin with. The ones who should be learning about Bitcoin are the young adults and obviously, the parents. The children will learn about it sooner or later, but just as I said in the other thread, I think the best thing the parents can do is buy some BTC for their children, so when they grow up they will have something to work with. And judging by how the Bitcoin adoption has been going, I would say the children will have a small fortune...

If I remember correctly, the topics that teach bitcoin to children have had a lot of support and welcome, and they ignore the factor of how old the child is and whether it is suitable to learn bitcoin or not. But in this thread, I don't see those people anymore, why don't they come in here and say that teaching bitcoin to 5 and 7 year olds is the right thing to do? Too many parents are teaching their children the wrong way blindly.

32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I love Bitcoin on: June 03, 2023, 05:37:10 AM
Although I also love bitcoin because it has given me so many things in life, But really, to apply it regularly in everyday life, there are real limitations. While the use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is increasing, the truth is that it may not be universally accepted as a payment method in all countries or regions. Also, the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is still evolving in many countries. There are still limitations in terms of frameworks to address concerns related to consumer protection, money laundering, taxation, and financial stability. As such, these regulations may affect the acceptance and use of Bitcoin as a transaction instrument in different jurisdictions. So although there are still many challenges, I think time will gradually overcome them.

What I doubt even more is, if bitcoin is widely accepted, will people spend it for everyday purposes? Because we all consider it a profitable investment, everyone just wants to accumulate to sell at a high price, no one wants to spend their bitcoins. So even if it is legalized, there won't be too many people spending their bitcoins. I also won't use my bitcoin for everyday purchases, it would still be a potential investment for me.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dad's retirement money is invested in Bitcoin! on: June 03, 2023, 05:32:04 AM
I don't know how I make decisions as a boy.  
My father is a military man. He has served in this military sector for 25 years. His term of service is almost at an end. After two months he was going to retire from the job. He will get retirement pension after his service life in the military sector and he has many plans based on this retirement pension.  
His first dream is to build a house with this retirement money. But right now in my country all the materials needed to build a house are very expensive so building a house right now can't be a good decision. And I don't feel safe keeping his pension money in the bank because earlier there was inflation in my country where some banks went bankrupt.
So right now I am not able to give him any proper advice as a boy. But one thing I've been wondering for a few days is if I invest half of my father's retirement allowance in Bitcoin, am I doing something wrong?
I feel like if I invest half the amount in Bitcoin for a year after receiving his retirement allowance, I might be able to hand over more money to my dad at the end of the year.  
Hope I get proper advice from you.


You are absolutely right that it has become very difficult to build a house in the current inflation. If a house is built with the pension money, financial problems will increase further in the future. I have seen many people who have built houses with pension money, and then they keep looking for jobs elsewhere.

Starting a business with pension money would be a great decision. If you want to invest in Bitcoin then Bitcoin investment is also a good strategy from which you can earn good profit, but before investment in this market you need complete information and study. This market is very volatile and may go against your expectations. If you can hold Bitcoin and be patient if the price falls down, and if you can control your emotions, then definitely invest in Bitcoin.

If you think building a house with retirement money is riskier than a business or an investment. What do you have to guarantee that the pension will not be lost when you invest in bitcoin or business? Whereas if you use it to build a house, you still have an asset over time, giving you a place to live without having to sleep on the street if your business fails. Moreover, have you always thought that investing in bitcoin is good? So what have you gained from investing in bitcoin? Bitcoin investment is risky, and we should only use the money that can be lost, do not invest it blindly.
34  Economy / Speculation / Re: Opportunity to buy on: June 03, 2023, 05:25:24 AM
Indeed, moreober when we are doing DCA in Bitcoin, everytime there is market correctiom, that is a great time to do DCA. This strategy can help us to add the accumulation of oir Bitcoin amount much worthier. Yeaj, because I am aware that I have not really much to invest in Bitcoin. So, doing DCA will be exactly worthy to do. Moreover with limited capital. It's always okay.
I am also quite consistent in doing DCA. Even though it's only with small scale purchases, when there is a correction in the market, that's when I get more excited and add to my purchases. I haven't invested much in bitcoin yet but I have a plan to keep increasing the amount as long as the market doesn't pass the 30k mark. and it's still circling in the current area.

But if it exceeds 30k, what will you do? And why don't you invest a lot in bitcoin while its price is still very low? Are you waiting for a bigger drop to buy? In my opinion, DCA is the right thing, but at this price is also the right time to buy it. If our target is the next bull season and we will only sell when bitcoin hits $100k, then this is the golden time to buy instead of waiting.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you support bitcoin as Global reserve currency? on: June 03, 2023, 05:20:19 AM
Hypothetically, yes I would support it, but the point is that for a currency to become reserve currency is not a question of support, it is a question of supply and demand, demand above all. The hypothetical future demand for Bitcoin in the international markets would be similar or higher than the demand for the dollar today, and that, if it ever arrives, is still a long way off. The first milestone in that sense will be to surpass the market cap of gold, and that still has quite a few cycles to go.
Correct. and to get there still have to wait a long time. Unless all of a sudden all countries adopt bitcoin like El salvador. but maybe that won't be enough either. because even countries like El Salvador today still use the dollar as the currency for the biggest transactions there. And there the government is still struggling to educate its people in knowing and understanding bitcoin to increase public interest in using bitcoin. and it turns out that it is not an easy step. so that from this small sample it will certainly be much more difficult for a large scale, namely global adoption.

Even the president of El Salvador is using bitcoin as an investment, how can he teach people about bitcoin as a currency? They accept bitcoin as legal tender because they are on the verge of bankruptcy and have no other solution. And bitcoin becoming a global reserve currency will never happen unless governments figure out how to control it. A decentralized, highly volatile asset that will never become a currency or national reserve asset.

Fiorentina vs sassuolo game is the only one in today schedule and its not a high stakes game but for gamblers it might be a good opportunity to win some money, fiorentina team is on a roll recently, and they will play away so the odds for their win are quite high and i think with sassuolo poor performance recently they might be able to win.
If you look at the head to head results for these two teams, actually Sassuolo is not a team that Fiorentina should underestimate. Because from the results of their past matches it is very clear that Sassuolo has only ever lost by a small number of goals to Fiorentina and vice versa so that Fiorentina should not underestimate their opponent in today's match which is also the last game for both. Because Sassuolo could also get a good result today if Fiorentina made a very fatal mistake.

Sassuolo's home match record against Fiorentina is good. Sassuolo has managed to beat Fiorentina in their last two home matches. However, compared to recent performances, Fiorentina's performance is now somewhat stable. Sassuolo has not won a match for a long time. I think Sassuolo will try to share the points in today's match. The match is unlikely to be very competitive, with both teams looking to play defensively.

Truly both sides have their weaknesses. Manchester city likes to keep possession and mount numbers in the opposition’s half as they progresses. And I expect Pep to repeat the same selections that featured against Real Madrid in the game tomorrow. Manchester will be planning to destruct all the passes and connections between Debruyne and Halaand and at the sam time play through with counter. I think both managers are aware of the threats they can both cause. Manchester city are more hungry than Manchester United and I see them winning tomorrow.
Manchester United is one team that can challenge any team because of how they play. Manchester United will not make it easy for Manchester City. Manchester United also desire to win a second title this season after the Carabao cup, so they will be on their best game. It will not be usual business for Manchester City in the midfield, Manchester United have the quality of Casimero, Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes to break their midfield power, Fred may start to man mark De Bruyne. It is going to be a tough finals, Manchester United coach will do his best to ensure that.
More precisely, Manchester United only wants to have a trophy from this FA Cup after failing in the Champions League last time so that Manchester City will have a little trouble against Manchester United.
This was all done because Manchester United already knew Manchester City's weaknesses from Pep Guardiola's strategy.
I would take a bit of a risk betting on Manchester united to get the better odds.
In the Carabao Cup, Manchester United only played against Newcastle, so it seems natural for Manchester United to win. But in this FA Cup final Manchester United played against Manchester City who can play well in the Champions League and of course in the Premier League. Therefore, I think Manchester City can promise enough to win. Also, even though Manchester United actually failed in the Europa League and not in the Champions League, I think Manchester United's failure in the Europa League will also not give Manchester United a big chance to beat Manchester City in this FA Cup final.

Manchester United won 2-1 in the last match against Manchester City. Manchester United's performance was quite good. And I won't be surprised at all if Manchester United wins the next match. Because Manchester City's main focus now is on the Champions League final. Guardiola is not too worried about FA Cup And so Manchester United have a chance to win this match if they can perform with some consistency. But City are hard to beat. City players are very confident now.

Lille will play their last match against Troyes. Troyes is one of the weaker teams this season. Troyes has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And so I don't think Lille will lose points in this match. An easy win awaits Lille. Unless they make a big mistake.
I can't call the BRest team weak against Rennes. However, the team is in the 14th position in the points table. But Brest won the last three matches. They are in a very good rhythm now. And so I won't be surprised if Rennes loses points in this match.
Indeed, Troyes is a small team and it is certain that they will be relegated this season, but if you look at Lille's previous performance against Nantes, they (Lille) benefited from 2 penalties which finally made them get an additional 3 points in that match. Lille played very badly and struggled to score from attacks and wouldn't this match be just as difficult for Lille against Troyes later?
Apart from that Lille must not underestimate even the smallest team and even though they are the underdogs, there will definitely be times when they slip up if they are not careful. For Rennes against Brest, it is likely that this will be a very fierce match, especially since Brest is the host, it will definitely not be easy to give up.

Lille's performance against Nantes was not good. They had 66% of the ball but didn't attack much. Lille were very lucky so they won. Lille scored both goals in the match from penalty chances. But I don't think Lille will make the same mistake two games in a row. If Lille plays an attacking strategy, breaking the defense of teams like Nantes and Troyes will not be a difficult task for them. Troyes defense is weak. And so if Lille don't make tactical mistakes in this match they will win.

Monaco has losing so many points from previous matches and 4 points from 5 matches seems is not impressive records and i know Monaco chance to finish at top 5 is quite slim but they can hopes Rennes or Lille slipped from next matches but Monaco should be able to bouncing back and win the match against Toulouse and if they can able to performing well Toulouse is not strong opponent for them because based on head to head statistics i can see Monaco had good records from Toulouse
it is difficult for Monaco to get 5th place while Rennes will compete with a team that is not too strong like Brest and I think at the end of the season Monaco will still get 6th place without being able to get a ticket to the European conference league or to the European league. unless Lille and Rennes lose their last game but that seems highly unlikely.
Because victory is the main target for Lille and also Rennes, so indeed I also think impossible for them to lose in the last match of this season. As you said, their opponents are also not too strong, and also Lille certainly won't be difficult against a team which is currently in the relegation zone. Too bad for Monaco, they couldn't get any points in the last few remaining matches. If only they could get points in the previous match against Rennes, then Monaco have a higher chance than Rennes in top 5.

Lille will play their last match against Troyes. Troyes is one of the weaker teams this season. Troyes has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And so I don't think Lille will lose points in this match. An easy win awaits Lille. Unless they make a big mistake.
I can't call the BRest team weak against Rennes. However, the team is in the 14th position in the points table. But Brest won the last three matches. They are in a very good rhythm now. And so I won't be surprised if Rennes loses points in this match.

Looks like Ireland first innings will be over by today. Right now Ireland have lost the 5th wicket. Most of the match this is the situation. Used to loss wickets at the  beginning and the lower order used to contribute better than the opening order. Atleast 250+ runs is a must to have a better match between the teams. McCollum -36, Moor - 10, Balbirnie - 0, Tector - 0, Stirling - 30. Stuart Broad in good form and have taken 4 wickets.
I had high expectations from Ireland's batsmen in this match. Because in the last few matches, I have seen Ireland's batsmen perform well. Ireland could not win though. However, Ireland's batsmen managed to perform very well. But against England's bowlers, Ireland's players are unable to survive at the crease.
Ireland lost their sixth wicket by 104 runs. Ireland has now collected 124 runs. Campher and McBrine are batting now. These two batsmen are quite experienced. If they survive I guess Ireland will collect like 250. But the probability of this is very low.
Stuart Broad bowled just 13 overs and gave away 5 maidens. And managed to take 5 wickets. Ireland will probably lose all wickets before 200 runs.
Other than Balbirnie and Tector there is contribution from every player, but none have come up with solid performance. Campher have scored 32* runs. More than 50 partnership between players is must for Ireland reach 200+ runs, if not this is going to be a match with first innings score less than 200 runs. Ireland have reached 169/8 at the end of 54 overs. There is big expectation on batting, and now somehow the team is good crossing 150+ runs which at the beginning is at a very bad position of 19/3
None of Ireland's batsmen can perform well. The highest collection for Ireland was by Paul Stirling. Stirling scored 30 runs. Ireland's first innings collection was only 172 runs. England players will not have any problem collecting 172 runs. England has already collected 145 runs. England has just lost 1 wicket. Zak Crawley returned to the dressing room with 56 off 45 balls. Duckett 58 and Ollie Pope 26 at the crease. Ireland's bowling line-up is very weak. My guess is that England will score at least 450 runs in the first innings. Ireland's team is going to lose very badly in this match.
England team have planned for some record, because every batsmen is playing as if like playing ODI. Even if the match ends by the second day of the match, nothing to get surprised. The bowling lineup isn't good, and Ireland needs to concentrate much on it. The batting order is good, if they play bit more responsible we can see better scoring from the players. England team have ended day 1 of the match with the score 152/1, Duckett 60*runs  and Pope 29*runs were on the crease. England have batted 25 overs and scored 152 runs which is above 6rpo. Seems to be very bad loss for Ireland.

The batting of England's batsmen does not look like it is a Test match. England's collection of 152 runs at the end of the first day. Opener Crawley scored 56 runs. Crawley's strike rate was 124.4. The strike rate of the other two batsmen Duckett and Pope is more than 80. In the Test format, batsmen usually bat patiently and bat slowly. As Ireland's bowlers are inexperienced, England's batsmen are making good use of this opportunity. England will collect big in the first innings. And England will win this match by an innings.
