OP you are right every gambler should look at gambling platforms as entertainment. People who do not see this gambling platform as entertainment get addicted to this gambling platform very quickly. We who are associated with this gambling platform do not consider this gambling platform as entertainment and therefore use it as a means of earning. I can definitely say that every gambler first takes it as entertainment but later chooses it as a means of earning. However if every gambler accepts gambling platform as entertainment then they can continue their life pretty smoothly otherwise they can destroy their life at any moment from this gambling platform.


This is a good point. I think that this should be a common knowledge for everyone that gambling, and casino are built as a means for entertainment and fun. But sometimes, we cannot avoid perceiving activity as a form of generating money because we literally can earn money from it. However, it is undeniable that almost the whole population of gamblers are leaning towards gambling for them to earn money because they cannot think of other ways on how they were be able to sustain their lives and their family. We cannot tell these people otherwise, because do not their reasons behind it and we cannot judge them easily.

Exactly, the statement that gambling is / is just an activity for fun or looking for fun to fill spare time during work holidays or reduce boredom on your day off should be common knowledge for all gamblers, especially for those beginners who have just come to this gambling. This knowledge will really be very useful for their own safety too, because none other than gambling is very dangerous because there is a huge risk there, so anyone who thinks that gambling is a place to make a living by not applying the self-control that is intended then obviously they will suffer a downturn that I think is unimaginable. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to keep in mind that there will be people who bring the wrong mindset to gambling, as we discussed above, they come with the intention of making money by taking advantage of the opportunities of gambling itself. We can't avoid it because in reality gambling can really give us money, but the difference is that there is no consistency and there is no guarantee in it, and the victory will be random depending on the luck of each person.

Because from what I have observed, rich people perceive gambling as a form of entertainment, while poor people saw gambling as an opportunity to earn money. So, we can say that there are a lot of factors that might contribute on this kind of mindset and social factors is one of them. Because for me, if people only have their choice, they will not look at gambling as a means of making money just as the rich people.

Of course, the rich only consider this as entertainment, and behind that it is not uncommon for poor people who come to make money because they misinterpret what the real opportunities are in gambling. I'm not going to fully blame the poor here because of course it's true as you said, there are many factors that influence why they carry such a wrong mindset. It is none other than because they are poor people who definitely want to get money in the minimum way possible to increase their finances or even to fulfill their needs. This is a very dangerous mindset. I hope they (poor people) will soon realize, because of course it is very dangerous if they enter the addiction phase.

Of course, if a player wins, he will continue to play, because few people are ready to stop after winning, but it is important to stop on the day you win, rest is also needed. And in case of a big win, you should withdraw your profit and leave a game deposit, this way you can definitely save what you won and continue playing from the level where you were. Withdrawal of profit is a very important point and not only in gambling.
When a player wins and continues playing, he must be prepared for losses that can come to him at any time because in gambling, it can come after they win. They should rest first while calming their minds and withdrawing their wins, as you said so they can enjoy their winnings. And they can also save a little money to prepare for gambling another day after resting. Withdrawing winnings that have reached the withdrawal limit is something the winner must do to celebrate their winning moment with their family and friends.

That's right, they should be prepared for surprises in the future, as we know if you or they bring the role of greed in any field then it will usually always end up with unexpected things and you will regret it. Right buddy, usually greed will come when they have managed to get a victory, instead of stopping and enjoying the victory but they continue to play and say "I'm sure I will be able to win much bigger", they assume that it is the right time for them to act aggressively, haha lol even though they do not realize that they have entered the gambling trap, which means that the final result will usually not be as expected.

Well that's the best they can do, I agree with you, this is gambling which means everything is luck and always unpredictable about the final result. Therefore, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible and go to enjoy the victory, do not ignore any temptation that looks tempting because it is very likely that it is just a trap. Allocating a little money to enjoy the winnings with friends over a glass of beer and a box of pizza and leaving a little to gamble on tomorrow, that's better and that's the real victory. Wink
2763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 27, 2023, 09:49:24 AM
~snip~
Yes indeed this is quite realistic and I agree that if you want to have a successful career in gambling it is very difficult, especially if you are just a pure gambler who only expects mercy from the casino for a win, it is almost impossible, and even if it is possible at most only occasionally with dozens of attempts. And also on the other hand I don't believe and don't believe if there are people who are able to succeed in gambling, I don't really understand what is meant by real success in gambling, there is no peak point that they can reach, and the fact that more often than not you will only suffer a lot of losses, nothing more than that.

Gambling is all about luck and for anyone who is serious about chasing something especially winning then I'm sure the end result will be the opposite and I'd say it's worse than you thought. Well agreed, we must really realize that this is just an activity for entertainment only and in no way can be made a place to make money or even a career with the aim of success, it doesn't make sense to me. So I hope you or they can quickly correct the wrong mindset and perspective, think more clearly and also make sense. If you are serious about building a career then allocate your passion to something that is more certain and guaranteed, that's all.
Perhaps we don't believe in gamblers who are successful in gambling because we have never met people who are truly successful in gambling. I think some people can achieve success in gambling, but these people are not easy to assemble because they don't want to say that they are successful from gambling. They will hide their success from gambling from people, and only a few people know that they have been able to achieve that success. And that is a difficult thing to achieve in gambling, so it is very rare for people to achieve that success.

Well maybe so and also yes everyone may have a different view on this gambling, but for myself honestly I really don't understand and don't believe if there really is a successful gambler. I would ask, did they really become rich as a result of gambling purely? What gambling or based on what they do? Sports-based gambling yes I understand skills can really help you to increase the chances of winning but in the end it still still refers to luck and will not always be lucky too, meaning defeat will definitely be there. And maybe I will believe that success is not in the sense of being comprehensive but "success in winning gambling on one occasion", and the rest of the time defeat will dominate. And besides that I would say that anyone can be successful with real evidence if they are "the bookie themselves, or own the casino", that's all. Perhaps your assumption is correct, meaning that there may be some gamblers who manage to become successful and they hide their success because they may be a little ashamed of their achievements that turned out to be only from gambling.


We won't know how people who are successful in gambling do it because perhaps they won't tell us and don't want us to try to become successful gamblers. Perhaps there are many ways or lessons that we have to learn, but they don't tell us about them. But I think there is a lot to learn to be a successful gambler because it is a long journey. And that is why not many people or gamblers can reach that stage because they cannot go through the processes. We can only learn self-control and other things that we consider necessary so as not to experience things that can harm us or not become addicted to gambling.

Honestly on the other hand I just heard that there are people who can succeed in something that is based on luck. For myself I don't have any goals in gambling let alone a successful career, because I know it's not the right place for a long process and also maybe it will only create a lot of financial problems in my life,, and yes maybe I will gamble with the aim and intention of seeking entertainment only, it will not be more than that. And maybe out there like you said there are some people who are struggling to become successful in gambling, I don't mind it because it's everyone's right as long as they are truly responsible for everything that will happen to them later. On the other hand, if I want to be successful and rich in gambling then I will not become a gambler but will open my own casino and gain a lot of profit from people who lose. Regarding control and some other limits are indeed very important in gambling, that's what you should always apply so that you don't overdo it and don't end up with addiction, that's right.
2764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 27, 2023, 09:16:52 AM
Well everything will come back to the caution and vigilance they have prepared and of course it will be very useful if they are firm in applying it every time they gamble, not tempted by any temptation there and also with a little getting rid of their greed, it would be better so that they end up with a normal feeling without any regret or disappointment due to bad conditions there. Management will be a very necessary thing in terms of balancing in any condition, including when we are married and have a big responsibility to provide for our children and wife, of course all expenses must be really considered and not let us buy something that is not necessary, because obviously in such conditions there will be many other more important needs. Therefore it is very appropriate to say that if you are a gambler then as much as possible you should try to get out of the zone, not gambling if it does not require a capital budget while on the other hand you have other interests, namely a family that must be prioritized, then yes it is better to change our mindset in gambling by slightly reducing or still considering that this is just an activity for entertainment only so that you will not overdo it in gambling.
They must be able to eliminate their greed from within themselves, which means suppressing that feeling of greed so that it doesn't get bigger so that they won't lose a lot of money while gambling. But whatever it is, they better think about supporting their children and wives in other ways and not through gambling because they won't always be able to bring money home. But if they can try other ways, they can make money for their children and wives, which is better than using gambling. Financial management for the family must be a priority in their lives after they get married because they will be together all their lives and spend their time together. And if they use their money to gamble where they can lose money, it will disrupt their financial position and later, they will find it difficult to support their families.

It should be like that, but to be able to eliminate 90% of greed requires very strong assertiveness, while in gambling almost everything there is filled with temptation, so it is indeed a pretty tough task to do. Therefore, I honestly don't really believe that there are some people who are already addicted who will be able to eliminate their greed by applying very strict self-control, some of them succeed too but usually they fail. But on the other hand it's the only way to prevent bigger negative impacts from happening. In my opinion, only stupid and lazy people work who are determined to support their children and wives from gambling, of course it will never work because they only rely on luck there, so maybe the term if they are unlucky in gambling then they will not be able to eat at home haha. While on the other hand luck will only come once in a while from many trials, just try to imagine. So indeed back again buddy, nothing is better unless you stop doing this harmful activity, remember you have a family which means you already have a lot of responsibilities, so instead of being busy with gambling you better think about how to stop. Consider a lot of advice from other people and it's better to find another job that is more reasonable and promising.

Read the latest news and neuer will be coming back as soon as possible. There's no doubt to see him back again as a starting line up. The current goal keeper was so bad but we shall not feel worry as neuer is fully ready to protect bayern's goal net again.
Having neuer will be also strentgthening the defensive line of bayern. neuer has been known as a goalkeeper with a bunch of experiences. He had been playing with bayern even since the match between bayern vs chelsea.

We will not feel worry again when neuer has become the main goal keeper of bayern. he was as good as some old goal keeper like casiles or even cech. There's no need to feel worry and i think bayernw ill be conceded less goal after neuer will be taking over the spot to become bayern's goal keeper. Let's see how good his comeback after he was not playing for so many months.
I have no doubt at all that Neuer is the best goalkeeper ever, but then again usually when a player comes back from a long injury he needs time to adapt again to get his game back. I don't know what will happen to Neuer after he returns, and I hope he can quickly find his form just like before he was injured.
I'd say it's a risk if he comes back, because there are many goalkeepers who decline after an injury and have to take a long break.
His association with Bayern Munich has been very long, and that will help him to find his form again because the chemistry I'm sure will not be lost, it just takes a little adjustment.

AC Milan is the only club yet to taste victory in this group, and yes Paris Siant Germain can win the match with a pretty big score, it is a good signal that they show.
After being able to occupy the top of the standings, now finally Newcastle must also drop to 3rd place after Borussia Dortmund can beat them with a thin score. And yes it is a very tight competition in this group, as we predicted earlier that this group is the strongest group in the Champions League this season. AC Milan itself still has hope with 3 matches that they will still do.
Newcastle are very unlucky to be in this group... I'd probably say it's the group of death... But Borussia and Newcastle still have a good chance to be in second place... But Milan have to show their best football to try to get out of the group... But I'm more interested in how Newcastle will play...
Yes, they are unlucky, but on the other hand it is beneficial for them if Newcastle manages to escape from the group stage, because it must be said that by joining this group, they are like a mental test before they are in the knock out phase. They are new to the Champions League, and by being in this group it gives an idea that in the matches they will face next they will get more pressure than what they got in this group phase.
Yeah like I said it's good for their mentality, and if they make it it's great.

With his incredible ambition, it's not impossible to see Ronaldo back in the next World Cup, even though he's already 41. If you look at it now, I think he still deserves to be part of the Portugal squad, the only problem is that the next World Cup is still a long time away and I don't know for sure whether he will experience a significant decline or not. Decreasing speed is a given, but if he can maintain his fitness until the 2026 World Cup then it's not impossible that he'll be part of the Portugal squad that goes to the World Cup.

The impact of ageing can't be prevented. But the big question is whether that will prevent him from getting selected to the playing XI. In case he is not up to the mark, then it can create a lot of complicated scenarios. For almost two decades, Ronaldo has been like an one man army for the Portuguese team. So if he wants to participate in the 2026 tournament, can the coach deny his ambition even if he is not in good shape? But then another question will arise. If Ronaldo is not in good form, then can the coach overlook the younger players in his favor?
Yes, age doesn't lie, although he still plays well, he is not as good as when he was in his golden years.
It can be said that he is a player who plays a vital role in the Portugal squad, one of which is that he is a player who can provide motivation for young players. But will they dare to take the risk to keep Ronaldo? To be honest, Potugal is now one of the countries that is experiencing good development. It will be a complicated situation, I agree with that. The coach must be able to be wise in considering this, which he thinks is more beneficial.
2768  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 26, 2023, 03:42:05 PM
The issue is prevalent and requires coordination with wives. It is acceptable for monthly income data to be disclosed honestly, as it helps wives understand and manage it. However, additional efforts may be needed to address shortcomings. Being truthful allows family heads to communicate the actual circumstances, as the only group they aim to help is their own family, not others. This approach is preferable as it allows for better communication and understanding.
Prioritizing an honest and open attitude towards family is very necessary in a household and in managing family finances. Especially to our wives. Because after all, we and our wives must fight together in everything and we must always solve all problems together. Including financial problems. So of course our wives must also know how money flows in and out of the family. And he also has to know our sources of income if we want our wife to help us manage our finances. Unless we feel capable of managing family finances ourselves. But I think it's a difficult task. Because sometimes we have to share tasks with our wives in this matter. We focus on making money by working hard and our wife will manage the household including the finances. Because sometimes our wives know more about what needs must be met in the family. Our children's school needs and so on are always better known to our wives.
Sharing tasks with our wife will indeed make it easier for us to complete every responsibility within the family. If we were the only ones to solve family problems, this would be very burdensome for us. If we have mutual understanding between husband and wife, of course our family life will be very beautiful even though we have an income that is only enough for our daily needs and for those who have a lot of money, they will not necessarily be able to have a happy family life because they are always busy with their own activities. so it is very rare to be able to gather with their families. It would be very good if the wife managed all the household needs because they already know what their children and their husband need.

And that's what should happen in every family relationship, whatever happens in the family whether it's pleasure or misery we must be able to live it together because togetherness is what must be prioritized when we already have a family. Families are not as beautiful as we think, as is the fact that happens and indeed some people who are married have also confirmed that there will be tests in the household through several problems that come continuously, so there is the importance of togetherness, as you said by sharing tasks with your wife or husband will make it easier for us to solve various problems, by possibly exchanging solutions or even when finances cannot cover the needs then our wives can also look for part-time jobs. It is indeed less recommended because basically the one who has to provide for the husband but that does not mean it is impossible because only they will feel difficulties if the economy is bad, so maybe it is also a good alternative to increase income, I see that many have also done it.

And if indeed the husband has a good enough job with a large enough yield to provide for his wife and children then as you said the wife's role may be busier in terms of financial management and also home affairs such as preparing everything that is needed by her husband or children in need.
2769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 26, 2023, 03:18:52 PM
Gambling for me is just an entertainment so there is no reason for me to quit. Quitting  is for those who are addicted to gambling. For now I still has no time for it, maybe next time when time comes I have extra money. From now on I will be gambling responsibly of course.
Well, gambling in old age can be very fun, most especially if the man have a lot of money and is financially comfortable, and he also have good friends too who are financially comfortable too, i can picture several evenings and night they all sit around a table, with drinks and some good meat to eat, then gambling and chanting and just having fun, what other way to enjoy ones retirement if not to do that which one loves and do it with other people who are very happy doing the same thing.

So yeah, for me, i will still gamble even in old age, as long as i am very rich, and have reliable sources of income, and my gambling is mainly for entertainment purposes and not to try to make money, for anxiety kills faster in old age, so it's very risky to try to deal with anxiety from gambling loses in old age.

Everything will feel fun and comfortable if we are in a condition of being able to do anything or for example have financial or financial above average, and if it turns out that the condition of our old age will not be like what is expected now then let alone gambling, for basic needs alone may still be difficult. It will indeed be very fun and hopefully our financial condition in old age will be in accordance with our expectations, namely having good finances and enjoying it by allocating a little money for pleasure whether it's for gambling or other things that can make us happy and feel satisfied.

For myself, I honestly will not target how long I will or should gamble because of course gambling is still a bad activity especially in terms of risk and impact, especially if my financial condition does not allow it in my old age and I might look for other fun activities rather than gambling. Yes I agree, it's true that as we get older our anxiety will also increase, so for me it's better to reduce gambling from now on, I don't target to gamble in old age because if you just want fun then there are many other things that are fun and also certainly not risky.
2770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 26, 2023, 03:03:25 PM
Just thinking about turning gambling into a full time job is a bit risky.
Those that have taken it as a full time job understands the risk that it bears.

It is in the mind that we have allowed our thoughts to be controlled by wrong views and beliefs. We have immediately put our mind in jeopardy because it is not realistic.
Honestly, it is realistic when someone makes gambling a career and becomes successful on it but the chances for it to happen for an individual is pretty low.

Those that have made a good run on it and still are on it, they see that it's possible for them to make that happen but they need to realize that it's not going to last long.
It is realistic, but we know that it will never be easy to do it and get it because there are many things we have to learn, and only a few people can do it. Those who are not capable and keep trying will only experience bigger losses, and if they still don't realize it, they will experience losses. That's where we have to realize that making gambling a career will not work well, and we should think about looking for other ways that have better opportunities to build a career. They can work in an office with a definite career path, so they only need to focus on their work to get promoted one day.

Yes indeed this is quite realistic and I agree that if you want to have a successful career in gambling it is very difficult, especially if you are just a pure gambler who only expects mercy from the casino for a win, it is almost impossible, and even if it is possible at most only occasionally with dozens of attempts. And also on the other hand I don't believe and don't believe if there are people who are able to succeed in gambling, I don't really understand what is meant by real success in gambling, there is no peak point that they can reach, and the fact that more often than not you will only suffer a lot of losses, nothing more than that.

Gambling is all about luck and for anyone who is serious about chasing something especially winning then I'm sure the end result will be the opposite and I'd say it's worse than you thought. Well agreed, we must really realize that this is just an activity for entertainment only and in no way can be made a place to make money or even a career with the aim of success, it doesn't make sense to me. So I hope you or they can quickly correct the wrong mindset and perspective, think more clearly and also make sense. If you are serious about building a career then allocate your passion to something that is more certain and guaranteed, that's all.
2771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 26, 2023, 02:25:14 PM
(...)How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot?
Yes, I can mention the level of luck here, and I also want to share this about my personal case: many years ago I also bought the lottery, and fortunately I won twice, But the bonus is not too big because it is based on the ratio of the special prize you bet on the last pair of numbers. With a 100x rate, I only bought $1 each time I won.
I know it's really luck because I know this game quite well since my grandfather often participated, but the level of winning is almost impossible, and indeed that brings a feeling of excitement, at that time. These were times when I didn't have much work to earn income, so it was an important amount of money at that time.
Lucky you. For those people like me who never won on lottery games, let's just be happy for others for their luck. I personally haven't win any lottery games even if it is a small bet, it's just that I have a not so good of a luck on lottery games, that's why I stopped trying participate in lotteries. Winning twice on a luck based game is crazy as majority of people doesn't even experience winning on those in their entire life.

I'm honestly like you, the lottery game is really very confusing and I don't really know how to play there, and also it's very difficult, although yes I understand gambling or the final result is always difficult to predict but for the lottery game itself I think it's much more difficult and besides that there is no sensation that I get, unlike other games that give some sensations whether it's bad or good in every round like maybe slots. Yes, maybe it is true that we have no luck at all in the lottery game so it is very difficult to get a win even with a small amount. I don't know whether luck in the game is very difficult compared to other games or indeed we just haven't got luck in us.

Avoiding and preferring more fun games might be better than continuing to play with a very high level of difficulty in terms of luck there. And also even though for example in the game we still can't get lucky but at least we can get a sensation of pleasure from there.
2772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 26, 2023, 01:51:00 PM
I think there are two assumptions from them or their intentions when they just came to gambling, first maybe it's still reasonable as you said they came just for fun and to fill spare time, and secondly there are also those who deliberately come to look for income from winning, no other than they can assume like that because they have seen some wins from other people or even from their own close friends. But in my opinion, even if they come just for fun, it will not always be able to rule out the possibility that one day they will become addicted, maybe you also know that gambling really involves a great sensation when winning and that means that if they are too serious in responding to that pleasure then they want to keep playing and over time it is very likely that they will enter into addiction without realizing it, and also may not care too much about the money they spend as long as they can feel that kind of pleasure again, and eventually they will enter into a cycle of addiction that usually does not accept defeat and continues to seek victory.

But well that's just a possibility that is worried about, if indeed they can keep their limits well then maybe it will not enter the addiction stage, depending on the person too. Basically, the impact of gambling is great so it's better to reduce it from now on, it's better friends.
If they can be alert or control themselves while gambling, it will not negatively influence them, especially for newly married couples because they are committed to always being careful with their spending. Someone who gambles just for fun will always try to use gambling as entertainment and will not try to chase winnings because they know they are using money that will be used for their family. They will try to limit themselves in gambling so that nothing bad will happen after they finish gambling. They will not allow themselves to become addicted to gambling because they can take good care of themselves with these restrictions.

Well everything will come back to the caution and vigilance they have prepared and of course it will be very useful if they are firm in applying it every time they gamble, not tempted by any temptation there and also with a little getting rid of their greed, it would be better so that they end up with a normal feeling without any regret or disappointment due to bad conditions there. Management will be a very necessary thing in terms of balancing in any condition, including when we are married and have a big responsibility to provide for our children and wife, of course all expenses must be really considered and not let us buy something that is not necessary, because obviously in such conditions there will be many other more important needs. Therefore it is very appropriate to say that if you are a gambler then as much as possible you should try to get out of the zone, not gambling if it does not require a capital budget while on the other hand you have other interests, namely a family that must be prioritized, then yes it is better to change our mindset in gambling by slightly reducing or still considering that this is just an activity for entertainment only so that you will not overdo it in gambling.

If their partner sees what they are doing is wrong, they will remind their partner that this is starting to be wrong and must stop immediately. And people who only gamble for entertainment will soon realize this so they will start trying to reduce their gambling activities. They will prioritize their family over their desire for pleasure because they know they can get pleasure from other things.

It is true, therefore from both spouses they must be able to establish an agreement and not to hide anything from their gambling to one of the spouses because in the household they will live together and that means they will need each other and exchange solutions to any problems. So it's better to just be honest with each other, especially if it's a financial problem which is very likely the impact of gambling will worsen your finances with your family and you will live in shortages there.

After stumbling in the first 5 matches, AS Roma slowly got up with 3 consecutive wins in Serie A, yes it was a good record for them. But now the test will come again by dealing with INter Milan who are at the top of the standings with their good performances. Moreover, this will be an away match for AS Roma which will make the pressure heavier that comes to them.
But Inter Milan themselves must be careful of AS Roma, because AS Roma want to keep their winning record. If seen, maybe a draw will have a chance to happen in this match.
It would be quite profitable for Roma if they were able to draw at Inter Milan's home ground later, because on the same day Napoli and AC Milan also met to compete for victory at Napoli's home ground so it would be a little detrimental for Inter Milan if AC Milan could win at Napoli's home ground. However, I think that Roma will indeed come under heavier pressure than Inter Milan because Inter themselves also really want to distance themselves from AC Milan and Juventus who are currently right below them in the standings.
Yes it is a realistic target, indeed victory is the best result, but with the strength of the opponent they will face coupled with their status as the host, stealing just 1 point is very meaningful for them.
Surely everyone will agree with this, that winning at home to Inter Milan will be very difficult for AS Roma to do, especially since they are also now maintaining their position at the top of the standings and not to be coupled by other clubs that have a very close point difference.
I wonder what tactics will be applied by Jose Mourinho to be able to bring As Roma to bring home points from this match.

Yes, the coming week is a week that everyone will be looking forward to, because this week there will be a meeting of the two big clubs that are giants in La Liga. The meeting of these two clubs always presents a hot tension, in addition to competing they also fight for great prestige, yes it is a match between Barcelona vs Real Madrid titled El Clasico. I'm pretty sure everyone can't wait for that match, yes I'm no exception. There are new names that have never felt the fierceness of this match before, and it will be a very extraordinary experience for them. As happened to previous players who first felt the atmosphere of El Clasico.
This is the most anticipated match this weekend in the Laliga and it's really going to be a very tough game for both sides cause they're both performing very well in both the Laliga and UCL matches, Realmadrid were at away against Braga but they managed to beat them 2 goals to continue their winning streak and secure 9 points to be in the top of their table, Barcelona also did same too against Shakhtar Donetsk to secure 9 points and top their table.

 However I feel Realmadrid are the favorites to win the game, if you compare both squad you'll see that Madrid would feature a better squad in the game however Barcelona are going to be playing without most of their key players in the match, maybe we could see one or two that's not very fully fit play them.
Yes, that may be the difference in this match, Barcelona will not be at full strength as some of their main players are unavailable.
Real Madrid must take advantage of the gap Barcelona has, because they will appear with full strength when they travel to Barcelona headquarters this week. But Barcelona themselves must have realized their weak points, yes because after all the loss of several players from this match will be quite felt the impact, I hope Xavi Hernandez has prepared the players he will show, as well as the players who become his choice are players who are ready to fill the vacant places left behind.

The Manchester Derby will take place in week 10 of the Premier League, which will be held at Manchester United's headquarters, Old Trafford. Looking at the record of these two clubs meeting, in the last 5 meetings Manchester City dominated the victory by winning 4 wins, while Manchester United could only win 1 match from their last 5 meetings. and when talking about Manchester City's match record at Old Trafford they also have a pretty good record and are able to win matches there.
But now it is quite difficult to predict the outcome of this match, because Manchester City are also in an unstable state, just like Manchester United. Although indeed Manchester City has a better performance than Manchester United.

It is a relatively close race between the top teams in the Saudi Professional League, but I believe that over the course of the whole season the form that Ronaldo and Mane are in as of now may pay off for Al-Nassr despite the fact that they are slightly trailing. The next three games for Al-Nassr are not that hard and are all must wins. If they get the full 9 points out of the 3 games, I think they might be close enough to then take on Al-Hilal and Ittihad in December. If they play well and win those games, they might possess the lead by the beginning of next year.
Ronaldo and Mane their performance is undoubtedly, both of them are top and professional players, so Al Nassr would probably be fine if them not got any injured. But don't forget with Talisca too, him are Al Nassr mainstay striker because so far Talisca performance is not too bad. In terms of points, Al Nassr must stay close to Al Hilal if they want to win the Saudi Pro League title. And they must win in every match until they finally meet Al Hilal in December, but also it will be very lucky if Al Ahli succeeds in beating Al Hilal, because the gap will be very close later.
Yes Al Nassr has a promising attacking lineup, with 2 top players with European labels in their squad. They have been playing well so far and I agree that they would probably continue their good play if nothing happened to them, such as injuries.
If we look at the scoresheet, 3 AlNassr players, and all 3 of the players you mentioned are on the list of top scorers so far and Ronaldo is the most prolific scorer with 11 goals to his name. Not only that, he is also the player who entered the list of assist standings in the SPL.

I agree with your opinion. There is no need to push their luck with putting Neuer in the starting eleven right away. Because I don't see a big problem for Bayern Munich in terms of conceding goals this season. I must admit that I didn't expect even Ulreich to be made their main goalkeeper. I thought they would sign a new solid goalkeeper instead.

However it didn't happen. But I don't think they are regretful about it at all. Because Ulreich has been really successful so far. For example I really liked a save of him against Galatasaray as the volley was directed towards the corner.

Neuer's recovery is happening too slowly, much longer than expected, but there is definitely no need to rush. I assume that’s why Sommer left, because he understood that he would lose places in the team as soon as Neuer returned, and he didn’t want to sit on the bench. Ulreich has always had very little playing experience, perhaps he will need some time to reach a new level, now is his chance, he will either do it or remain number two forever.
Losing the main goalkeeper is still a problem for Bayern Munich, but it is not a serious problem because the substitutes in the squad can still fill the void left. Yes you're right, Neuer's recovery is taking longer and it's not coming back as quickly as expected. Bringing and making him the main goalkeeper is quite risky in my opinion, because maybe he will need more adaptation time to restore his lost performance because he had to be sidelined due to injury.  Bayern Munich do not have to rush into this, because they still have players who can close the gap.

I love how PSG played against Acmilan today in their UCL game,  at the earlier stages of the season they were inconsistent and it affected them to the point that got embarrassed by Newcastle, they were defeated 4-1 but after the international break it seems the whole squad have rediscovered their form cause they're currently playing very brilliantly and did very well today, i had doubts about them winning before the match started but suprisenly they did a good job and claimed 3points from Acmilan.

 PSG performance today was outstanding I think the players are now getting an understanding amongst themselves, it was their star player that scored the opener goal to boost their morale in the 1st half and the game would had ended in a 4-0 victory if not for Dembele's goal that was cancelled by VAR, PSG really deserved the victory they performed better, dominated mostly and even created more chances.
Yes, it's a victory they deserve, but I hope they don't get complacent with what they achieved in the Champions League match. Keep in mind they still have problems with consistency, so in one match they play well and then in the next match they show something that is not pleasant to watch and in the end makes them lose the match.
Now they are in good shape, and surely their morale will increase after getting this victory, but there are still some notes that they must improve so that they do not lose their performance again in the next match.

They do insist on the same names way too often when they shouldn't and that's the problem with Erik Tan Hag. That dude has his " favorites" in the club and keeps playing those players and he had some players that he wanted to buy as well and he did that, on top of that no matter how good you may look or how good you may play during training, you are not going to get that chance. Thats their problem, the manager doesn't care how good you are or how well you can be, he has his 11 in mind and as long as they are all healthy, he will keep on playing that 11 no matter what. This of course sometimes causes them to not play with the best 11 they have, and end up with a bad result.
I thought I was the only one who thought like that, but it turns out there are still people who think the same way as me. I agree with you, that Erik Ten Hag seems to favor some players, so that they are always the first choice to fill the line-up of players who will compete.
I'll give you one example, when he came to Old Trafford he also brought players who had worked with him before. I have no problem with that especially if the player can perform according to expectations, and some of the players he brought did play quite well. But it gives the impression that he does have favorite players, just like what you said.

That is not a bad odd, 80% is definitely something that is realistic. I still wonder what Ronaldo situation will be like, he is 38 right now at 2023, that means 39 at 24, and 40 at 25 so that means he will be 41 years old when the next world cup happens. Do we really think that a 41 year old Cristiano Ronaldo could play at the world cup level?

I mean Portugal is not a terrible team, if we were talking about some terrible team then they would not have any other player, but can't Portugal find a single player to play at striker position better than a 41 year old Ronaldo? I do not think that he could be playing, Messi won't be that old, he would be like 36 or 37 I think, that's still fine, understandable levels, but 41 seems way too old.

If Ronaldo wants to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, then he will take part. It is mainly up to him. Because even now, he is performing exceptionally and Portugal is dependent on him to a great degree. And also, he just asked Al Nassr to extend his contract till 2027. If he was planning to retire earlier than this date, then he could have never asked them to do it. The message I am getting is that Ronaldo is still interested to represent Portugal in 2026 World Cup and he is preparing really hard by taking part in the qualifier matches.
With his incredible ambition, it's not impossible to see Ronaldo back in the next World Cup, even though he's already 41. If you look at it now, I think he still deserves to be part of the Portugal squad, the only problem is that the next World Cup is still a long time away and I don't know for sure whether he will experience a significant decline or not. Decreasing speed is a given, but if he can maintain his fitness until the 2026 World Cup then it's not impossible that he'll be part of the Portugal squad that goes to the World Cup.
