Of course, I think the same as you, and as I have said before, Messi should consider going to Saudi football, in particular I would like to see CR7 and Messi facing each other in that league, I am sure that worldwide all the attention would go to that side of the world, because with Messi there, wow, it's another level. There are very good players, there is Mappé, Haaland, among others, but they still do not have that shine that CR7 and Messi have given us over the years, that is something that I still see from afar, that is why these players, no matter how old they look For me they will continue to be the best.
This news surprised me today about Messi: https://www.goal.com/en/news/lionel-messi-barcelona-return-back-on-joan-laporta-confirms-meeting-with-psg-star-father/blt562136eff1991425Since Messi is not interested to stay in PSG and his destination is still unknown most people thought he will join a team to just receive a goal salary there but now according to some news If Barcelona sends him a good offer to get Messi back to Barcelona he won't say no to his previous team. You know that the contract of Lionel Messi's with PSG is going to end at the end of this season. So it is very possible for Barcelona to get Lionel Messi for basically free. But will Barcelona be able to afford the salary of Lionel Messi? Lionel Messi is still playing very well. So it is very understandable if he demands a good amount of salary. But I will not be surprised if Lionel Messi does take a pay cut just to play for Barcelona. After all, it was supposed to be the club which was going to make him a one club player. |

Atletico Madrid have made a really good improvement recently. There is a very visible progress in their latest results in the league.
Especially the win against Sevilla by an amazing score like 6-1 was incredible to watch. It was the most productive match for Atletico Madrid in this season that's for certain. Even Simeone seemed really surprised with this effort and result. This win has helped them capture the third position in the standings also. Because Real Sociedad have been the opposite of them and have lost many points. The gap was big between them actually but Atletico Madrid were lucky that Real Sociedad started a bad form.
Atletico Madrid took advantage of this best moment to score a lot of goals, Atletico Madrid knew that this was a good opportunity to get a high-scoring victory. Memphis Depay and Álvaro Morata managed to contribute by giving two goals, and with Atletico Madrid's win in this match, they are in the top three at the top of the standings. Those are the kind of things one should expect from football. It used to be at thing commonly done by real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester city in England. But now, neither Madrid nor Barcelona now have much anxiety to go for the 4th or 5th goal if 3 goal is already recorded. They play a relaxed and comfortable football throughout the remaining minutes. It is only Bayern that still keep such spirit. I was surprised i at the same time impressed at ATM's goal rate in that match. Atletico Madrid's performance in this match impressed everyone. We know that Sevilla was a weak team. And we were sure that Atletico Madrid would get 3 points. But Atletico Madrid will score 6 goals, it is probably not imagined by anyone. In fact, Atletico Madrid's attack is not very strong. Atlético Madrid has not managed to score more than one goal in every match before this match. Atletico Madrid's players dominated from the first half. And so it became easier for them to score. However, if Sevilla's players were confident, Atletico would not have scored so many goals. Sevilla's coach should try to boost the confidence of the players. |

For me, it doesn't matter if Bangladesh has already qualified or not. I still expected a better performance from Bangladesh against England. Of course, Bangladesh was unable to provide that type of performance. At least in the first two, it can be said that the performance of Bangladesh is below average in ODI right now. And with this type of performance, Bangladesh is not going to go very far in the world cup.
Bangladesh is now in the 4th position of the standing and qualified for the world cup. For the current season (2020-2023) of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Bangladesh started well with wins against tough opposition back in 2020 and 2021. And that is the reason why they are currently at the 4th place in points table. But their recent performances have been disappointing. Being a test member, Bangladesh receives around $16 million per year from the ICC (2015-2023 cycle). This money is not being spent productively. If the funds were used for grass-roots development, then the performance would have shown significant improvement by now. It would be wrong to say that Bangladesh's current performance is disappointing. Despite losing the series against England, we have seen excellent performances from the players of Bangladesh in two matches. Bangladesh performed very well in the first and last matches. And in the previous series, the Bangladesh team won the series 2-1 against India. They were able to win against teams like India and England. So it should not be said that Bangladesh's performance is not good. Bangladesh team has a lot of talented players. But their main problem is that none of the players can play well on a regular basis. This is why the Bangladesh team is lagging behind. |

I have seen in some local websites, that the situation of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid is not good at all, even though he has a contract with the team until July 2024, the coach may leave the club at the end of this season.
The conditions for the coach to stay at the club would be a relevant title (Champions League, La Liga or Copa do Rey).
In my opinion it's even unfair since the coach won the Club World Cup, won the Champions last year, is in second place in La Liga, semi-final of the Copa do Rey, and is still very good in the Champions, it's absurd to call this bad results.
Once again I will try to predict the future, and Ancelotti should really leave the club at the end of the season to take charge of the Brazilian national team.
The whole situation is heading for this to happen, since the Brazilian national team is with a temporary coach, just waiting for Ancelotti.
Real Madrid may try again Zidane.
I agree that Ancelotti should leave the authority of Real Madrid. He has achieved a lot at Real Madrid. I personally do not think he has anything to prove to anyone as coach of Real Madrid. In spite of the fact that we all know what he is doing, the results he is bringing are not bad. People should understand that the same success might not be found every season. Especially when the star player Benzema who was performing like the finest player in the world last season is not performing as expected. But anyway, people are not apt to think about those things much. Actually, it would be better if Real Madrid tried Zidane. Ancelotti should think about managing the Brazil national team. |

Napoli lost points against Lazio. Other teams have opportunities to close the points gap with Napoli. But they can't. The AC Milan team lost against Fiorentina. If they win this match, they have a chance to move to second place in the points table. Inter Milan will play against Lecce today. If Inter Milan wins the match they will move to second place in the points table.
In this season, Napoli have very stable outstanding form that is opposite with other clubs so one loss from Napoli can not help other clubs make any change in the Scudetto race. They are weaker than Napoli and have to accept that Scudetto belongs to Napoli in this season. This season can be terrible for AC Milan who currently hold the title but are facing risk to be fallen out of top four. The race is very competitive and no guarantee that AC Milan will be able to end with a position in top four. Napoli's defeat did not affect their position in the points table. Despite the defeat against Lazio, the Napoli team is 15 points ahead of Inter Milan. And to close this 15-point gap, Napoli needs to lose 5 matches and Inter Milan needs to win all the next matches. It seems almost impossible. Because Napoli is a very strong and consistent team. AC Milan's performance has been erratic. If they want to qualify for the Champions League, they will definitely have to play better. Several teams are fighting to qualify for the Champions League. So if Milan drops a point in any match they will be relegated. AC Milan is now fifth in the points table due to the defeat in the last match. |

Now Sevilla can be happy that Valencia has an away game against Barcelona and are probably going to lose it, but when you look at the table and imagine that both Valencia and Valladolid were to win their games, Sevilla would end up on position 18 in the table and their goal difference also suffered a lot today, which could play a role later towards the end of the season. Sevilla is now just 1 point ahead of Valladolid. And if they continue this poor performance, they will soon be back in the relegation zone. I thought Sevilla's match against Atletico Madrid would be competitive. But Sevilla's performance has deteriorated so much it was beyond my imagination. They conceded 6 goals. Only two goals were conceded in the first half. And their performance in the second half was even weaker. Atlético Madrid's attack is not very strong. Even then they scored 6 goals against Sevilla. Staying out of the relegation zone has now become challenging for Sevilla. Sevilla is completely out of control, they have been poor all season and it is always difficult to win match. Jorge Sampaoli deserved to be disappointed with the result his team got when they visited Wanda Metropolitano, the 6-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid was the least desirable thing. Until week 24, Sevilla had only made 6 wins, 7 draws and the rest lost. In fact, it will be very difficult for them to avoid the relegation zone if they don't improve their performance. While La Liga has 14 games for Sevilla, they still have a chance to fight and survive in La Liga next season. It's difficult to expect them to win all the points available, but at least Sevilla must try their best to survive and stay away from the relegation zone. We have seen Sevilla's poor performance since the start of the season. But now their performance has worsened. Sevilla's defence has completely collapsed. It's a shame to lose by conceding 6 goals. Also, Madrid's attack is not very strong. Sevilla conceded 6 goals due to a poor performance by their defenders. Their defence needs improvement. If the defence is weak, Sevilla will not be able to get out of the relegation zone. Sevilla still have a chance to stay away from the relegation zone. But for that, they must perform well in the upcoming matches. But Sevilla's performance is deteriorating day by day. And if this continues, it will be difficult for Sevilla to survive in La Liga. |

Manchester City also met the expectations today by having a comfortable win over Newcastle in Etihad. The championship race is going on heatedly between them and Arsenal.
Tottenham were the team that got an unexpected result for me. Despite all that effort during the whole game Tottenham still couldn't score a single goal. Wolves just punished them for their incapability in the last ten minutes. This was another valuable win in a tough home game for Wolves after beating Liverpool as well here. Actually Wolves aren't in good condition in the season but they are still getting some surprising results like this.
Achieving full points against Newcastle was not easy. Because Newcastle's goal was to draw the match by playing defensively. And we saw the defensive gameplay of Newcastle players throughout the match. However, Manchester City won 2-0 thanks to Foden's Silva. And the battle for the title with Arsenal continues. The day was not good for Tottenham. Tottenham played very well. Even then they can't win. It's really sad not to win after dominating the entire match. The wolves were lucky. They scored the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute and won the match 1–0. If Tottenham loses points like this, it will be difficult for them to stay in the top four of the table. |

AC Milan had such a poor performance in this game. I expected more of the team but, for my standard and how high I had placed them, they underperformed and didn't do much like a team that had any thought of winning against Fiorentina. On Friday, Napoli lost to Lazio, and today Milan lost to Fiorentina. That was unexpected by Milan, but that's what one gets for betting on only one option out of trust in a team. Milan messed up my bet just as Napoli did. Monza has played well and defended their home, managing two goals against Empoli. I just thought Milan could do better today. Napoli lost points against Lazio. Other teams have opportunities to close the points gap with Napoli. But they can't. The AC Milan team lost against Fiorentina. If they win this match, they have a chance to move to second place in the points table. Inter Milan will play against Lecce today. If Inter Milan wins the match they will move to second place in the points table. Monza played very well against Empoli. Their gameplay was very organized. Although they reduced the attack, their performance was stable. They were aware of the opponent's weaknesses. And so Monza had no problem winning the match. |

The most essential power of any individuals, organization, industries, churches, government, and nations is truly rely on the wings and Caprices of economic power.
Political power is good but political power can not survive without good economic power, political power is irrelevance if there is no good economy situations of any firm. It takes the economic power to build every other aspects of life.
Even government can not operates effectively if they lack or suffered economic kwashiorkor. Smooth organization operates as a function of good economy situations. When you economic power is stable and dignified, the evidence of Man's labour becomes very easy.
Exactly, economic power creates political power. Do we see any poor countries in the world that have strong politics? The US is the country with the largest political power in the world because it has a leading economy in the world, in recent years, China's economy has also developed strongly, and their politics is also increasingly influential in the world. While poor third world countries do not have any significant political power. It can be seen that the economy is what determines everything. |

Surprising to see Real Madrid to have ZERO shots on target against Barcelona. Even though they managed to keep 65 percent of the possession for the match. In the end, an own goal decided their fate but its incredible effort from Barcelona to keep a team like Real Madrid to not even get a single shot on target.
We saw Real Madrid's dominance throughout the match. Real Madrid players had 65% of the ball possession. Besides, they attacked a lot. Madrid had 13 shots in the entire match. But they can't be made any on-target shots. The performance of Barcelona's defenders was outstanding in this match. I would say that Barcelona was able to win at the Santiago Bernabeu only because of the excellent performance of the defenders. Barcelona won but their performance was poor. Xavi was tactical in this match. Perhaps his aim was to draw the away match. But Barcelona is lucky. They managed to win. |

No matter how bad the pitch was, it doesn't take away the fact that the Indians scored just 109 runs in their first innings. This is the same pitch where Australians managed to score close to 200. And the Australians had only one experienced spinner with them (Nathan Lyon). The other two were making their debut in this series (Matthew Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy).
India was defeated because of their poor performance. And I'd say it's a shame on them. The Indian players were well aware of the movement of the pitch. They made the pitch. And India has formed a suitable team for the pitch. Even then such bad batting cannot be expected from Indian players. In both matches, the performance of experienced top-order batsmen was poor. A good performance is expected from experienced batsmen on such a bowling-friendly pitch. Indian batsmen should have been more aware of their batting. Now I think Australia will win the last match too, and the series will be a draw. |

Are we now on crypto bull run or this yet to be go down futher more down than 15500?
Way too much FUD right now for not being on a temporary bottom at least.... Been hearing off that there would be still that last crash or dip on bitcoins price before it would take off, we dont know if ever this is true or not but recently we did make out some huge red candle way down. The only time we could presume that it would be having that bull run is on before or after halving event but mostly this would really happen on after bull run.This is why nowadays its still that hard to to say that we are on a bull run because the price cant even break out 25k price which its been rejected for how many times. It is really that hard to guess basing up on the market condition and this is why its better for you to be versatile on whatever things that you would encounter. We are not yet in a bull run, we are still in a bear season, what happened in the last 2 months is just a short-term rally for bitcoin. I have also seen many predictions that the market will have a few more corrections before bitcoin really recovers and rises again. I also agree with those statements, I don't know if history will repeat itself or not, but looking at the world economic situation, there is nothing better, so expect a bull market at this time. This is very unlikely to happen. |

It cant really be that predictable in the first place and we know that this market is truly that unpredictable and there's no way or someone could able to see on where it would be going.
There's no way that we could determine whether its already be bottom or not and it is really hard to determine on when it would be going up or down.If it was predictable
on the first place then all of us would be making money and also it cant be called a market since it doesnt really getting involved buy
and sell on this case.
You are right that the cryptocurrency market can be unpredictable and difficult to predict. The price of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate greatly over short periods, making it challenging for traders and investors to determine when to buy or sell. But, though it's true that the market can be unpredictable, it doesn't mean that it's impossible to make informed decisions based on market trends, technical analysis, and fundamental factors. Experienced and knowledgeable traders and investors use a variety of tools and strategies to analyze the market and make educated guesses about future price movements. It is true that the market is unpredictable, but that does not mean it is impossible to predict, if no one guesses, we all lose, but we also have a lot of people making money in the market meaning the market can still be predicted. Those who study hard and accumulate experience and skills, they can make predictions that can bring them profits, while those who are lazy but want to make quick money will pay the price with their money. I see the unpredictable market as a good and fair thing, those who work hard always pay off. |

Zidane is the coach that PSG really hopes for, that's a rumor very often i read in several media. However, Zidane has a history with Juventus and there is an assumption that Zidane has a chance to coach Juventus too. When it comes to opportunities, I think Juventus have more opportunities than PSG. Returning to Madrid, it seems not, because there is a possibility that he will look for other club options. Chelsea? I'm not sure he will going to Chelsea.
Zidane's this statement is surely lifeline for few clubs like PSG, Chelsea and Newcastle United because currently first two are going to have changed their coaches in coming summer window and Newcastle United is also looking for bringing good name in soccer which is possible with the person like Zidane which already done amazing stuff at Real Madrid and having amazing career in soccer as well even currently Eddie Howe is going good job but at the top level he fails to maintain momentum which is key for staying at the top and having good results near the end of season. PSG most chances will again lose in Champions League which could be big problem, and they will also try with Zidane and Chelsea is already in deep trouble as Graham Potter is not suitable even they spend good amount for better results. Let me make a prediction. PSG is not winning the Champions League this time. Actually, they are not the deserving team to win the Champions League. They will probably win the Ligue 1 title. But I am also not very sure about that. After this season the team is going to change a lot. Lionel Messi is probably not going to stay in the PSG team. And the PSG authority is probably trying to get Neymar out of the team. I don't understand what they are thinking. They cannot win with a good attack and that's why they are trying to downgrade, is that it? At this point, I highly doubt that even a good coach will actually be able to fix PSG. |

Fiat isn't trash its just a trap, you said it clearly you need cash to buy anything in the Store and government created an ecosystem in that way and renewing the new papers may have other intentions too which can't be exposed to fellow citizens.
However imagine if we adopted decentralized money like bitcoin then any order from government can't stop us from using and that is the freedom and money is supposed to give us that freedom.
But we are not the ones in authority, we are like sheep to follow their shepherd (government). So even if we adopted decentralized money, if the government banned it, it will become useless in our country. Cash or fiat money even though have a deflationary value, at least it will stay unlike the majority of cryptocurrencies that can be rug pulled or abandoned by the developer anytime. Even the most liquid, Bitcoin, we are unsure if it will last another decade or not. Why do we really need to care about our government approval when we are already adopted and make payments with decentralized crypto which can be bitcoin or any other thing which is not under control of anyone. Most cryptocurrencies created with no purpose other than making money for the Creator but not entirely such as Bitcoin and we know even Satoshi isn't sure about how people will approach the decentralized money but his vision is getting visible but still a long way to go and I am sure bitcoin is here to stay until we have something better than decentralized money. If your country bans bitcoin, you don't need government permission, you can still use bitcoin for payment, but you are using it stealthily, not publicly, and that's not freedom. We live in a centralized and government controlled world, we will never be free, bitcoin only helps us somewhat, it cannot make us completely free. We've been able to use bitcoin so far, it doesn't mean the government can't do anything to us, it simply doesn't want to oppress us yet. If they feel it's dangerous and seriously threatens them, they put it on the kill list as a terrorist then that would be a serious problem for us. |

Have you checked your attitude towards money lately? What is "your dream"? bigger home, a bigger car, private schools, branded drink, gold?...
As i'm getting older and after having my own family, my priority and focus are solely for my kids to have a better future. I'm saving and investing for them because I don't want them to go through the hardship that I had when I was younger. Hence, I always prioritize the needs before wants and I can say i'm good in managing our finances. Though I still make sure to reward myself from the things that can make me happy. Big house, luxury car, wearing branded clothes, or eating in restaurants… we can say we work, save, and invest just to achieve those things. I believe that is everyone's dream and desire, no one doesn't want it. But when our life is difficult, we can't achieve those things, so we consider those things as waste. For those who can't afford it, it's wasteful spending, but for the rich, it's normal. The future of our children should be a priority, but when I achieve financial freedom, I will also spend on those things, that is a goal for all of us, not just my own. |

With few minutes of having Kylian Mbappe, we had one of the most active and interesting game which saw two goals cancelled by var.
Those both goals were cancelled as a result of offside, but that only showed me the impact of Kylian Mbappe.
Having both Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe at least might do the trick even if Neymar Junior will be absent. The earlier th better they should not slow down this time, Bayern Munich did all they could to stop Parisans that night and it did worked. That's right. Mbappe is a player that can change the game alone. He shows that in a lot of critical games. Neymar's absence might be more tolerable than him. Having both Mbappe and Messi on the field from the start is PSG's biggest weapon. Considering they need to score at least two times, I still would like to see the three of them together in such an important R16 game. Even though he is still young, Mbappe seems to have had a dominant impact to bring up higher enthusiasm in the game on the field. at that time it was like that. minutes after Mbappe entered the field. surprisingly PSG's game became very aggressive and full of passion to score goals. so that several goals were created at that time even though they were declared invalid because they were in an offside position. and I'm sure that in the second leg, Mbappe will play as a starter. and his condition at the moment is much better than when he played in the first leg. Mbappe in the first leg was still in a condition that had not fully recovered. but he has been able to complicate Bayern's defense. so for the second leg I think Mbappe will play more optimally. In the French league yesterday we also saw Mbappe able to score 2 goals in the match against Marseille. this shows PSG are now much better prepared for the second leg than they were for the first leg. PSG may have prepared themselves better for the second leg. They have been able to correct the mistakes of the first leg. But we should not forget that PSG's opponent is Bayern Munich. And they won the first leg. And so Munich can qualify for the quarter-finals only if they can draw the second leg. PSG may be in good form right now. However, Bayern Munich is more experienced and organized than PSG in the Champions League. They will try their best to draw the match and qualify for the quarter-finals. However, PSG's attack is very strong. With Messi, Neymar and Mbappe playing well, PSG have the ability to break down any strong defence. |

At times it feels like South Africa Women team is unlucky. Maybe its true, because the similar situation is with the Men's team. They have good team and they easily get out of the tournament at the early stages. Atleast in Women's cricket they've come close to the winning. In men's cricket they don't even reach the finals in all the three formats of cricket.
Why do you think so? I thought that they were lucky to win the semi-final match against England. They were on backfoot during the chase, but then the England middle and lower order collapsed. And during the final, they were simply outclassed by a vastly superior team (Australia). On top of that, they had the advantage of playing at home. If anyone was unfortunate, it was the Indian women's team. Look at the way Harmanpreet Kaur got run out. I don't know whether it was unfortunate or just plain stupid, but that made them lose the match. The South African women's team is very lucky to have qualified for the finals. It was unexpected for me to see the South African team in the final. The performance of the England women's team suddenly deteriorated in the semi-finals. Despite leading at the start of the innings, their batting slowed down after 10 overs and they failed to win. However, South Africa did not have a strong and experienced squad to win against the likes of Australia in the final. Despite qualifying for the finals, this team lacks experienced players. I agree with you that the Indian women's team had very poor luck in this world cup. Because before the start of the World Cup, the Indian women's team had performed well in several series. And the Indian team was the favourite for this year's World Cup. But in the World Cup, we did not get the expected good performance from the Indian women's team. |

They already have 47 runs lead.
If they play really badly then they will add minimum 50 more runs, this is a very big lead IMO. Anything above that scenario would be game over for the Indians.
Indians have to bat their hearts out to overcome this deficit, not impossible for this Indian team despite top order being out of form tho. You would still back them to bounce back because of their past record. A lead of 100 runs would give them an advantage, but it will not ensure the defeat of India. During the second test, Australia scored a grand total of 113 runs in their second innings. The same metric for first test was 91 runs. Indian top order is in poor form. But the Aussie top order is in even worse condition (perhaps with the exception of Usman Khawaja). Smith and Labuschagne have scored some runs, but so far they have performed much below what was expected from them. And apart from Peter Handscomb, other Australian batsmen have hardly contributed so far. Defeating India will not be easy. In the second match too, India's batting in the first innings was not good enough. Still, they won the match. Australia now leads by only 47 runs in the third match. If Australia can take a lead of 200 runs then they have a chance to win. If they can take a lead of 100-120 then the match will be competitive. Both teams will have equal chances of winning. Indian batsmen batted badly in the first innings but they will not make the same mistakes in the second innings. I think India will score big in the second innings. And so the Australian players should now try to maintain a good lead in the first innings itself. |
