Considering Germany is a first world country where people are supposed to have better wages and access to higher quality products the prices are similar to the ones I find in my third world country where quality of goods is much inferior. Here a bottle of oil 900ml (not olive oil) is about 3$. Olive oil 500ml must be around 3$ as well. And these are the cheapest options at the cheapest supermarkets disponible. If you want your food more tasty and delicious you have to purchase higher quality oils, of course.
News claim expensive prices are due to war, but I guess it's due to greed from producers who want to take advantage of the world's scenario to make extra profit.
Germany, the European countries are affected and they are paying more for everything when the war comes but I think that is still nothing compared to the 3rd world countries you and I live in. An 8-hour workday is almost impossible to feed a family with three meals and this has been the case for many years, many places are struggling with food shortages. You can also buy cooking oil, that's happiness, in the countryside where I live now many families have to use lard to replace cooking oil. There's much worse that we don't know because we've never heard of it. |

I really don't think England did face any hard competition from Afghanistan. Afghanistan never scored enough runs. And this target was always going to be chased by England. It was a little surprising to see England lose 5 wickets in that process.
But I think we all knew that eventually, England was going to be the winner of this match. The batting of Afghanistan is obviously not at the level which can play against the English bowling lineup easily.
So, the only thing that gives Afghanistan cricket hope is the bowling. But if they don't have enough on the board to defend they will eventually lose even though they have a good bowling lineup. Just imagine them having the same type of bowling in the first innings and after that, they come out to chase. Things would be very different.
New Zealand vs Afghanistan
I expect a strong bowling performance from Afghanistan in today's match.

Casemiro did very well in the game, got his first Manchester United goal in fine style at the dead period of the game. What a goal to secure a point for his team. Since his arrival to Manchester United he seemed not to have blended in until the weekend where he showed what he is capable of attaining in the team and I think this is only a tip of the iceberg as to what he is capable of. The result I believe is fair enough for both teams. Ten Hag is letting his emotions get the better of him, whatever is the problem between himself and Ronaldo should not be brought into the game. Ronaldo has done a lot in the world of football and the way is being treated by Ten Hag, critics and all the haters is disrespectful to his career accomplishments.
You have forgotten the Man United game versus Everton fast, Casemiro had his second best game for United in that match against Omonia he has his first and that game with Chelsea was his third best game so far representing the United logo. Good header to secure United the win, leaving that behind he had a good game, it's how it should have been all this year's for United, a proper DM to protect the defense. It's okay to let go of the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, Ten Hag wanted to part ways with him at United since but Man United board said no. He can go, but it will be wise if hru sign a new winger and attacker as haaland. Where will Ten Hag find a regular scorer like Haaland? Young and regular players like Haaland and Mbappe are no longer there. So I don't think Ten Hag will be able to fix Manchester United's attacking weaknesses now. Ten Hag should have used Ronaldo as their main striker. Because the most talented and experienced player in the Manchester United squad is still Cristiano Ronaldo. And so if Ronaldo is able to fit in well then United would be a stronger team. I don't think Manchester United will qualify for the Champions League this year. |

Barcelona played well against Athletic Club. Where they were not wrong. Barcelona always play well against teams like this. The next match with Bayern Munich, will see that poor performance again, although this match will be played at Barca's home ground, so we hope Barca will win.
Barcelona is under pressure ahead of the match against Bayern Munich because to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League, besides having to beat Bayern Munich, it is also determined by the results of the Inter Milan VS Viktoria Plzen match at the Giuseppe Meazza. Hopefully, Lewy show up, and we need Frenkie and Balde in the starting lineup. Barca kicked Messi out after all this to spend half a billion to buy other Players, but the Champions League is almost gone  The situation in Barcelona is very sad right now. Barcelona need full points against Bayern Munich if they want to go to the round of 16. Barcelona is still 3 points behind Inter Milan. Barcelona need to win their next two matches, and if Inter Milan lose either of their next two matches, Barcelona will qualify for the round of 16. Barcelona's future in the Champions League is completely uncertain. Barcelona management has spent a lot of money to bring in new players. Even so, Barcelona is failing to perform as well as expected. |

A bounce-back performance is sure to be expected from host Australia against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is in hot form, and Australia needs to win this game. There will be an interesting match, but the odds should not be so lopsided. In the event that Australia loses to Sri Lanka today, the team will be eliminated from the tournament. For this reason, betting companies have put greater trust in Australia to win against Sri Lanka and have made Australia the clear favorite.
Australia need to win in today's match and Sri Lanka will not give up. But naturally Sri Lanka is a much weaker team than Australia. It is very much difficult to win Sri Lanka by defeating Australia. But if something like that happens in today's match, Australia must face the danger. I think Australia will fight hardly to win the match for their existence in world cup. Australia have lost one match and their position at the bottom of the points table while Sri Lanka is at the 2nd position in Super 12 Group 1 with a win. If we compare the two squads then it is easy to say that the Australian team is stronger. But in the first match, the Australian team lost badly against New Zealand. The Australian team was able to collect only 111 runs. They batted very badly. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan team performed very well in the Asia Cup. Both Sri Lanka and Australia's performances are erratic now. The Sri Lankan squad is not weak. Sri Lankan players have the ability to perform well against Australia as well. I guess the match will be competitive. However, since Australia's pacers are better than Sri Lanka's, Australia's chances of winning are high. |

Teaching corruption or not won't change anything. It just the same thing teaching someone not to lie. It doesn't mean the person will hate lie. Corruption is in the human nature that can't be erase. Teaching corruption will help the child to an extent though, but it is not a guarantee that one will live with no corruption.
Yes, it is human nature, there will be no way to eliminate corruption unless we lose consciousness. Teaching children not to be greedy and lie from a young age is only a small part because when they grow up, depending on what life circumstances will turn them into. living environment will be decisive, when you live in an environment where everyone is corrupt, you can't fight them alone, you will be eliminated immediately if you don't become like them. We all know people today live extremely pragmatic, without money will not be respected by everyone, including family members. So to have a world free of corruption, that's never going to happen. |

So for all the newbie small investors out there that have this same mindset as my brother, what would you as an OG, advice them to do?
Remember, they wanna become a millionaire, but they think since they can not afford to buy up to 0.5 bitcoin atleast, then bitcoin can not give them that millions they so desire.... What would be your advice?
Let's discuss.
Try showing past altcoins deaths to your brother such as the most recent one being Luna, a potential altcoin with a market cap of $60 billion has collapsed in just 2 weeks and caused thousands of investors to stumble, even commit suicide, believing that investing in altcoins can make them rich fast. Most newbies have this mindset, they always think bitcoin is too old to be profitable for them and they look to newer altcoins. Let them invest in altcoins but tell them don't invest too much, invest a little bit, let them experience it for themselves they will learn their lesson and come back to bitcoin soon. |

Another experience is that when I withdrew money at the ATM, the transaction was successful, but the money did not come out until the transaction was declared complete, I did not get the money from the ATM. I happened to make a cash withdrawal at a minimarket and it was caught on CCTV, then I was advised by the minimarket keeper to report it to the bank. And finally, I reported to the bank. I was able to get my money back, but after 3 days later. Even though at that time I really needed the money, how troublesome and annoyed if there was a problem like this but we couldn't get a solution quickly, moreover, we also wasted time taking care of it, and the mechanism for taking care of the bank was also quite troublesome.
This also happened to me 5 days ago, I have withdrawn money at an ATM but for some reason they deducted money from my card but the money did not come out. I was quite panicking as it was my first time having this problem, then I contacted the bank to get it resolved. The annoying thing here is that I have to go directly to the bank to solve it in 2 days and I really need the money, today is 5 days and they promise the money will return to my account within 1 week. Banking is a centralized system so I believe this is not the only mistake they make, which is quite annoying if we have urgent work but everything is still solved. Of course, these problems do not happen with bitcoin but once we use bitcoin we need to be very careful because even a small mistake we will not be able to undo our money. |

The game ended in a draw, which was not bad for Southampton considering that Arsenal is becoming more difficult to beat after playing 1:1. I predicted an arsenal straight win and also thought that what happened between Manchester United and Chelsea would happen again, and it was well played by both sides. Southampton received two yellow cards, while Arsenal also received one, and both teams had the same number of shots on target. Arsenal also had about 60% of the ball, and they had three counterattacks.
Arsenal did not get full points in today's away match. I don't think Arsenal played very well either. Arsenal's performance in this match did not satisfy me. I expected a more responsible performance especially from their attacking players. But Arsenal's attacking players didn't attack much today. They probably took 12 shots in total in today's match. Arsenal's players would not have found it too difficult to break down Southampton's defense if the attacking players had performed well. However, Arsenal are at the top of the table despite losing 2 points in this match. |

In the game between Barcelona and Bilbao, Barcelona is sure to win. Bilbao's players will want to do their best to secure a draw. But Barcelona's attacking side is playing brilliantly. Stopping Lewandowski is a very difficult task. Also, fast players like Dembele will definitely score. Of course, that's because Lewandowski is a player with a strong character as the current highest goalscorer at Barcelona. Xavi wants him to be consistent and keep scoring goals in match, but I've found him struggling to do that in the past few match. But Bilbao aren't strong enough to stop Lewandowski, I guess. So I also think he will score in this match, and maybe it would be great if Fati and Dembele did too. After the defeat of the El Casico match I think Barcelona's performance has returned to good. Of course it was especially true when they beat Villareal 3-0 a few days ago, and now the same hope should be true for the result against Bilbao. The Athletic Bilbao team is not weak. The team is quite strong. But they are not able to play consistently well. They have lost points in their last three matches. But their attack is quite strong. If Bilbao players can score first against Barcelona then this match will be a win for Barcelona . Barcelona have been doing very well against Villarreal in the last match with Lewandowski scoring 2 goals and youngster Fati scoring one goal. We think Lewandowski will score in today's match as well. He is in very good form. Barcelona will win by at least 2 goals today if they get enough support from the midfielders. |

I wouldn't really compare South Korea and Japan with Qatar, because Korea and Japan have a much longer football tradition, they have invested much more in football, and they have a much larger population and a much larger football base.
Just look at their results in the last world cups, Korea and Japan often make it to the knockout stages of world cups and achieving great results.
Ok, it seems that Qatar is currently achieving good results in friendly matches, but does anyone seriously think that they would have qualified for this World Cup if they did not have the direct right to participate as hosts?
No, of course. No one holding that illusion. Before, Qatar isn't on the same level as some of the MENA teams in the region. If not for the host right, they wouldn't even pass against other strong teams like Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Qatar recently got good only because of the massive preparation for this World Cup. They got a lot of new players under their national team, buying and transferring left and right just for the stake to put up a good face as a host. I'm damn sure after this World Cup is over, Qatar will fall back to its place, behind stronger teams in MENA. Money can only buy them some temporary victories before and a bit after this World Cup. I will also jump the bandwagon of people saying NO, and if I could swap them for another team then I would have gladly use it to bring back Italy. Furthermore do you’ll think that it’ll be a nice opportunity to make some quick bucks while wagering against them, and even though I’m expecting super low odds I yet feel that we can earn some good bucks on their matches if we get lucky. I'm also sorry that Italy didn't qualify for the World Cup again. It+s really a tragedy that we will not see such a great team, the current champion of Europe, at the World Cup, and on the other hand, Qatar will play at the World Cup thanks to the fact that they are the hosts of the championship. On the other hand, Qatar will certainly be a very interesting betting option at this world championship  I'm really interested in what will happen next with the Qatar team, in the next competitions after this world cup and how successful they will be in terms of results. I really hope that the authorities of Qatar football realize that this is not just a revenue stream through which they will be able to make money. I hope they realize that they have a really good chance of showing the world what they can do in football. There should not only be a focus on getting money from this world cup, but also on having some people looking for really skilled players in Qatar as a result of this world cup. And I expect that the people of Qatar will also be very interested in football after this world cup happens. It does feel sad that Italy did not qualify for the world cup. But I think that's okay. They are a capable team and they probably deserved to play in the world cup, but nothing can be done now. |

Proper Manner if he wins surely it is really hard for me to take a side but when you said that you have committed to Makhachev because of Khabib Nurmagomedov, makes me think that was the answer, Khabib Nurmagomedov will be on the side teaching Islam Makhachev how to win and he really knows how dangerous Charles Oliveira can be, so I think as a coach for Makhachev he will surely teach him everything on the Dagestan wrestling books, (if there is one) and Islam Makhachev has said that he will be coach Khabib's 1st champion as a coach, that is some pretty much determine words,
I think having Khabib on his side is going to make Makhachev a lot more dangerous. I have seen in previous fights Khabib instructing Makhachev how to fight and giving some crucial instructions on how to get in better positions to submit his opponent and that worked like a charm for Makhachev. So, I think it is going to be very beneficial to have Khabib on ringside for Makhachev as well. No disrespect for Charles Oliviera. He also has a substantial amount of experience. He knows exactly what to do at just the right moment. But I think it will be a better option for him if he does not fight Makhachev on the ground for too long. I have also heard Khabib say that the ground game of Makhachev is better compared to Charles Oliviera. This is what Khabib said about Oliviera Vs Makhachev  https://youtu.be/-sUIlCg9-4EThis is Khabib instructing Makhachev from ringside  https://youtube.com/shorts/spUTqsVkYl8 |

Yeah it is really sad, he is somewhat of a club legend and tbh i don't think anyone associated with Manchester United would have wanted it to come to an end this way, but i guess it is what it is, and sometimes it's not so good to return to your previous team. I think Ronaldo acted in a disrespectful manner leaving the stadium in that way, but i also think Ronaldo himself has been disrespected by Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag so much this season, so looking at it from another perspective it seems he has had enough of it.
Having said that, i can't imagine what's next for Ronaldo after this suspension, and then where does he go in the January transfer window, i don't think too many clubs are interested in him, his wages being one of the factors in that, imo i think Ronaldo should move to a less competitive league that is willing to pay him an unbelievable amount, i heard a club from Saudi Arabia were interested in the summer, if that offer is still on then he should take it, his time at this level seems to be up, so it's much better he goes to where he will constantly play and make quite a lot of money in the process, but without any headlines for him.
This. Ten Hag acted like a ratly rat, endlessly declaring that he was counting on Ronaldo, and then, under various pretexts, did not put him in the squad. All these sneaky talks about respect, etc. It's funny to hear that. It would be much more honest, correct and respectful to initially warn Ronaldo (publicly or privately - it doesn’t matter since this is a professional matter, everyone understands everything) that he does not fit into Ten Hag’s game scheme/concept and cannot count on a place in the squad. And now everything ends not in a friendly manner, but in an atmosphere of hatred and scandals. The management of United are boobies (and Ten Hag is a rat) who spoil the image of the club. I was really starting to think that Cristiano Ronaldo would be able to perform well at Manchester United and probably he would be pursued by other big clubs. And in the next transfer window, he will finally leave Manchester United. However, after Cristiano Ronaldo made such a stunt, I believe other clubs will be less interested in signing him. The way he is acting is almost like he wants his career to end soon. Even though his team was doing well, that was the wrong thing for him to do. I really wonder what happened so that Cristiano Ronaldo could not keep his composure! I think he is still a great player but the problem is the relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United has become very toxic. In addition, I really don't understand what lies in the future of his career. He did not want to move to any team that is not playing in the Champions League. Now we are talking about him moving to clubs from Saudi Arabia. |

Barcelona have already finished the match seemingly. They scored 3 goals in only 9 minutes after leaving the first 30 minutes behind. Villarreal couldn't resist them much and this was no surprise. We might even see an enormous goal difference if Villarreal give up on their defense from now on. There is a significant drop in Villarreal's performance these days and maybe it is related to having many missing players now. Otherwise they started the season really good actually.
Lewandowski seems to have improved his performance as he has scored two goals already. It would be nice to see a hat-trick from him while there is a big chance. He really wants to stay in the fight with Haaland for Golden Boot but the season is long. It feels like he won't be able to score more than Haaland this season.
It was quite an easy match for Barcelona. They have also dominated this match. The 3-0 victory for Barcelona will help them regain their confidence. Obviously, it was a terrible experience for Barcelona against Real Madrid. But now Barcelona will be optimistic again about their performance. In this match, Villarreal tried to play an excellent defense but eventually, Barcelona was able to find holes in their defense. Barcelona scored 3 goals in a short period of time. And after those 3 goals, it was also almost certain that Barcelona was going to win this match. Nice to see Robert Lewandowski scoring. However, I also think that he is not as likely to be able to score more compared to Haaland. |

Nobody expected that Union Berlin would be in first place, which is actually unprecedented that it went so well. And they also played a great game against Dortmund and won. I am curious if they can also compete with Bayern Munich in a mutual duel. It is striking that the striker of Union Berlin has indicated that his objective was to maintain himself in the competition. You can hardly believe that actually. I also don't know what kind of objective Union Berlin should have now. The championship is not realistic, but still, if Bayern lose 1x and Berlin win, then the gap is already 7 points and suddenly everything is possible.
If Bayern Munich lost and Union Berlin won and brought their point difference to 7, but this is not half their way. There's still a lot of games and there's still a lot of possibilities that could happen. Union Berlin can maintain its position if they are able to maintain their form. because, I believe Bayern Munich can play and get 3 points in the match. It depends on Union Berlin, and their meeting with Bayern Munich will change the situation. Bayern Munich wont play against Union Berlin for a long time so Union Berlin has a good schedule ahead of them. They can maintain the lead but that is really hard they arent a team that can win so many games and stay on top. While Bayern Munich can maintain the wins but they showed they drop a lot of points as well There is a difference of 4 points between the team which is in first place, Union Berlin, and Bayern Munich which is in second place, but the problem is this season Bayern Munich has been inconsistent. And that is why it is difficult to say that they will be able to get back to the first position very easily and quickly. Bayern Munich is scheduled to play against Hoffenheim in the next match and I am not saying it is going to be easy but I believe they should be able to get 3 points from that match. And on the other hand, Union Berlin is going to play against Bochum which is absolutely at the bottom of the table. So I don't think the point difference between Union Berlin and Bayern Munich is likely to reduce anytime soon. |

Inter confirms as always an unreliable team and a hole in which to throw money only
I'm very sorry for the fans, but I see them as the worst team ever
a lot of money spent and very little results
The financial condition of several Serie A teams is not doing well. After all, all club owners will consider * profit * title * sponsors if in terms of profit it is not met, it may be maintained if it still has enough sponsors to cover losses or to help pay player salaries. However, of course they also think about title (most nowadays, want instant titles), because if they have achievements to be a champions domestic or Euefa competitions, this title will help bring profits and sponsors. However, it is also difficult to maintain the finance, if the player's salary is too expensive. There are some big reasons why everyone is so interested in money right now. You know the Coronavirus situation that the world has been through very recently. At that time a lot of companies lost a lot of money. It wasn't just the companies that lost money, but many individuals as well. And the world has not been the same since. I think we also know that in the very near future the world might face famine. That could be a big reason why a lot of people are very interested in money right now. But obviously, this is just my point of view. I know that a lot of the points I have made might not seem relatable. However, I think these reasons are not that far apart either. |

Finally, this thread is so alive, that we have few pages of only Makhachev vs Olivera prediction  While few people care about Aljo vs Dillashaw fight. And I will remind, that it is going to be a title fight. Funny that no one is really that much interested in title fight, like it is women title fight Dillashaw has already been UFC bantamweight champion two times and has a chance to become a champion for the third time. Anyone remember a fighter, that has been a champion three times ? I think Randy Couture was the only one who was UFC champ three times, while there are less than 10 (maybe) fighters who were UFC champtions twice in their career. Those were the days. I'm a fan but didn't really know he was a champion 3x. Must be the reason for being in the hall of fame. His dirty boxing may not be working well against the hybrids these days who could just jump on the back of their opponents and choke them to death. I can actually think Olivera will win against Makhachev if Makhachev begins to be aggressive like how he fought with Martins, Olivera can easily find an opening to throw a jab and submit Makhachev. Some situation could change with just one hit and Olivera had done that many times in his career. Oliviera can take a hit, I'll give him that credit. However, I don't think he is better than Makhachev at the ground game. I may agree that he possesses similar skills when it comes to the ground game as Makhachev, but I don't think he is better than Makhachev. There is no doubt that Makhachev is a hard puncher, and Oliviera is someone who can withstand multiple hits without losing focus. So, this is obviously going to be an interesting fight between these two. In addition, the fact that Khabib is teaching Makhachev all he needs to know about winning this fight makes me commit to Makhachev. On the other hand, it is also true that in the end, Makhachev will have to be the one who will be responsible for executing the plans in the proper manner. |

A new Ballon d'Or has been awarded to Karim Benzema. The article I read has made me fall in love with this man. It is impossible to measure the level of sportsmanship and dedication he showed to his team. Because undergoing surgery would leave him out of action for two months, he has been serving his team with a fractured little finger. This shows his determination to reach his dreams, and finally he was awarded the Ballon d'Or.
I can totally remember how barely Benzema used to score for Real Madrid during the time when he took the lead. Even just before the season Ronaldo left, he only scored 5 goals. It is worth mentioning that Benzema was happy to be a sideman for Ronaldo while CR7 was on the team since CR7 had the main responsibility for scoring goals for the team, which fell to him. Upon his departure, Karin stepped into that position, and my God, what an amazing job he has done with it!! He scored 27 goals in the league the following season after CR7 left, and since then he has been one of the most consistent goal scorers in the entire continent, and this Ballon d Or was well deserved for him |

@hahay I believe that these two are key factors why PSG player’s are not performing that well: 1) the new coach has failed to unite this egoistic squad, 2) Mbappe status is causing discontent among the squad and the solution is to sell him and reinvest in other player or player’s. Furthermore there’s also talks of Messi leaving which has further distracted the squad, and if PSG wants to achieve success this season then it needs to put an end to Messi’s exit rumours. PSG has all the potential to lift the UEFA Champions League this season but its greatest obstacle would be unresolved internal rifts. Kylian Mbappe is the center of all these challenges. He is gradually losing the support of the fans and the management. There are reports that he was booed by the fans during the Ballon d'Or ceremony. And there are also speculations that the club is willing to sell him, at the right price. He has claimed that he has no intention of leaving the club in the January transfer window. But I think PSG would achieve more without him because he is really causing division in the dressing room. The news that Messi wants to leave is not a surprise to me. The club gave Mbappe so much privilege that he could conveniently disrespect one of the greatest players that ever existed. Yes, Mbappe has a glorious football future, but his ill behavior and selfishness can make him end like a player like Mario Balotelli. It is very clear to me that you are right. I foresaw this when Mbappe was given administrative authority to prevent him from moving to Real Madrid. There is no doubt that this is one of the most prominent examples of the money game that is now spoiling the game of football. Taking a look at the names in PSG's squad, you would have thought that they should have been the number one team in the world by a wide margin based on their roster. I can barely see respect among the players because there is discontent among the squad, and internal clashes have caused them to play very poorly, so I don't expect them to do well. It is outrageous that Mbappe stopped his run in a counterattack the other day when his teammate did not pass to him. This is inexcusable. In addition to that, rumors are circulating that Messi may be leaving at the end of the season, which totally makes sense, he deserves better treatment than what he is getting now. |

I was even surprised Man City lost. Moh.Salah's goal became the decisive goal of the victory. Haaland's goal was annulled by the referee. I think Joao Cancelo was quick to make salah karane unable to sweep the ball from Alisson's delivery to Moh Salah.
In addition, I also saw de Bruyne also missing from midfield. De Bruyne failed to become a creative midfielder. Fabinho and Tiago succeeded in shutting down his creativity. It disrupted the flow of the ball to haaland. In addition Var also provided assistance to Liverpool , as Haaland's goal was cancelled out.
This game was a good example of Liverpool's rock-solid defense, which played a crucial role in their victory. In spite of the fact that Man City had some effective control of the midfield, as KDB and Silva both played well, they were not able to serve the ball to Haaland as Van Dijk, Fabinho and Thiago all played very well to disrupt that situation. Although, I must also admit that I think Haaland did miss some decent enough chances that he should have been able to score on. I remember de Bruyne crossing the ball and Haaland was open, and when he shot the ball exactly toward the keeper, it should have been an easy goal for a player like Haaland, since he was in the open. When it comes to Liverpool's game, I really do not know what to say about it. It may have just been a bad day at the office for Mancity. |
