I still dont understand why PSG even signed donnarumma this season.Kaylor Navas was one of the best players in the entire team of PSG some amazing saves this year.I know he is starting to get old,but still i think this is really early to get a new goalkeeper.But still Donnarumma is still very young and this is still a big signing from them
Cause they want to flex over everyone else. Simple like this. Nothing more. They have right now 9 Goalkeepers in the squad. They've signed Euros player of the tournament. PSG might encounter another issue by next season when their squads are bigger and more complex to manage. Kylor Navas is still good, yet they are pushing him out gradually. PSG good at signing big names, however circumstance is getting intense. I believe the simple reason was Donnarumma was available on a free transfer, and at his age he can give PSG 10 - 15 year’s of football before they need to find a new keeper, and that’s a wise investment. Furthermore to elaborate his transfer value could easily be $50 - $60 million, hence even if they sell him later on they’ll get amazing returns on this deal hence a wise move in my opinion.

Which teams have a talented squad that are capable of getting to the final? England, France, Belgium, Italy... is that it?
Last time, the world cup was hosted by Europe and the European countries performed better. But I have a feeling that this time it may be the turn of South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil. Anyone who had watched the recently concluded Copa America tournament would agree with me. On the other hand, the major European teams (France, Belgium, Germany.etc) couldn't perform as expected in the EURO 2021. Italy and Spain managed to reach the semi-finals and among them Italy became the champions. But still, I noticed a lot of weaknesses. @Sithara007 while Argentina and Brazil are good, but Italy seems to be the superior team and so is England and on their day they can beat Argentina and Brazil. Furthermore Belgium has lots of talent, but they just need to utilise it well and they can go on to become the best team at the World Cup.

Djokovic has already voiced his reservations about going to the Olympics, that may not happen, I understand if he is prioritising the 4th Grand Slam over the Olympics. Federer is already out for Olympics and Nadal previously announced that he will not join too. So I think this would be a fairly easy win for Djokovic. He can do both US Open and Olympics I suppose. He seems fit and he won 3 Grand Slams in a row without any problem. Recently he said he's 50-50 about Olympics, he's undecided because of strict restrictions. It's his choice but I think he has the capability to win both tournaments. @ingiltere I’m pretty sure that he’ll be skipping the Olympics, because he normally announces it before attending any particular tournament. Furthermore I don’t blame him as he’s on the cusp of rewriting history, hence it totally makes sense to prioritise which tournaments to participate and which to skip.

But where does that lives us if almost all the co-founding clubs already changed their decisions and withdrew their alleged involvement with ESL, Iirc there was also a lot of backlash from each team fans as well. I don't think there's anyway the breakout ESL would exist, at least for the next few years (4 minimum) that's if it's even going to happen at all. UEFA can't do anything officially but under the table it could and it will not forget this easily. Those (remaining) teams will get severe sanctions for any stupid mistake and UEFA will try to figure out a way to tackle this project.
@coinlocket$ once again the power of Real Madrid is proven and though they can’t run the league without the other top teams, I wonder if they’ll look at alternative teams?. Furthermore this is a huge blow to UEFA because now this league can resume at a later stage, and the only thorn is the fans how to get them onboard for this, and if the clubs can figure this then this league will be live in coming year’s.

Ireland got their first win against South Africa in ODI cricket. They played a well balanced game today and deserve the victory. Although the first match was abandoned for rain but Ireland has also batted well in that match. Beside the low order batting lineup, South Africa need to improve their bowling too. Can't say how they will perform in the last ODI but I would like to keep them (Ireland) ahead in that match.
Ireland is showing a lot of improvement. Their batting is showing a lot of depth. Earlier, they would just fold up in case Paul Stirling get out. But this time, Stirling fell cheaply, and Porterfield was not available due to injury. And yet Balbirnie and Tector batted very sensibly, with Dockrell adding some quick runs in the end. And in the bowling department, Craig Young was exceptional. And South Africa should blame themselves. They took the match very casually and decided to rest both Ngidi and Quinton de Kock. I’m totally surprised the way SA let their guard down in this match, and they deserved to lose this match and hopefully they’ll learn their lesson of never underestimating their opponent. Furthermore Ireland has gained valuable points from this match, and if they can win more matches then it’ll help them in the new ICC tournament.

With the win of the Euro Cup, Italy reached rank 4 FIFA for clus. IDk how Belgium can still be the number one since they never won anything in their lives and always lost earlier in big tournaments.
Maybe they need to change the formula for points...
FIFA has changed the ranking criteria in the past, to make it more accurate. The one we have now was devised after a lot of research and analysis and I don't think that there is any issue in the way the points are calculated. Belgium remains at the top, because they have won matches regularly against other top ranking teams, with big margins. Before the defeat against Italy in Euro 2021, their last defeat came against England in October 2020. It was an unbeaten run for 9 months in a row. During this period, they defeated England (2-0), Denmark (4-2), and Portugal (1-0). @Sithara007 you’re absolutely correct as FIFA did change the ranking system in 2018, but yet I find it difficult to see Belgium on the top because unless they win a major tournament they don’t deserve to be on the top. Also I do acknowledge that they had a good winning streak, but if they keep failing in the tournaments then they’ll lose that spot very fast.

Actually, we should not be discouraged by many other people with their tickets, but all of that has been proven fair that in this lottery it is pure luck that Roobet chose, there is no other reason for many tickets to be collected because it does not guarantee that you will be the winner of all of them. depends on our fate which is destined to win. Now we know that if there are more contests in the future, there is no need to think about more tickets with hundreds of them being winners, it's just that it may be more regular to play at Roobet. I agree. We've seeen enough scenarios in which some drawn winners only owns very few tickets. So even having only few tickets, we should atleast see some hope that our names can also be drawn to that raffle. But no doubt, those who has lots of tickets has better probabilty of getting drawn and win that whooping $5000. Congrats to all of the winners! The more tickets the better maybe that can only be said for big people as bettors on roobet, we are only the lower middle class in gambling if there is a contest of course almost all bettors will play in this lottery, so this scenario is indeed different from my previous thoughts about the winner will have a lot of tickets but the reality is not, so for me it's a bit more relieved after I know. I can attest to this as I have often seen people win the big price holding lower amount of tickets, and thanks to provably fair system it give smaller gamblers like me hope to win the big price. Also it’s been said since the dawn of gambling, and I’ll repeat it once more time that in the end ‘ONE’S LUCK’ plays a major factor, and if it’s your lucky day then even few tickets can do the trick.

@DuckDice.io the link you have shared is not working, I’m attaching the image can you check and fix the error. Also can you post how much Rakeback is available for zero level users, cause normally zero level user’s don’t get much, hence this information would help all old and new player’s who would be keen to join your site. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FXNzbVg0d%2F403315-CD-1053-4-C78-8-F82-C4-F9-F16477-CC.jpg&t=665&c=WF5cIWRwOJxUtg)

So once a streamer got a deal with a casino (for sponsorship) then there is no chances for him to participate in any contests in the casinos even if the streamer want to use his own money for the contest?
I doubt they will participate when they already made a deal with a casino. The reason only because they want to get huge attraction from people who seeing they playing on that casino, so more people will be wager more on that casino because of they showed it. That's main reason of hiring a streamer IMO I don’t understand why the streamer can’t participate because most of the times the terms clearly state that casinos employees, and their families can’t participate, and a streamer is not an employee. Also I believe the answer would lie in the contract signed by the streamer and the casino, and sadly their content would not be available for public to review hence we can only speculate about this.

One of the Oldest Dice site in Crypto world that still alive and operating , while some of their competitors had already Hold their Flags of surrendering .
Goodluck PrimeDice and Wish you all the best and long years, it is indeed that the intention and the trust that will make the business stays for long, Keep that spirit up.
I think we can call Primedice is the oldest dice site in the gambling industry. They have been established since 2013 until now, obviously with many times changed for their updates but they are still on here. The oldest dice site, satoshidice has been shut down AFAIK. Many dice sites have been closed due to several reasons, but not all of them finished because of surrendering @janggernaut I believe it’s right to call PD one of the oldest gambling site yet running, and I too disagree with the word surrender as there were multiple scenarios which led to those old sites closing down. Also when I googled Satoshidice a gambling site is opening up, so is PD oldest competitor back in action?.

Also another rule of having 5 posts in your forum should be relaxed for bitcointalk users, as we’re active here and not on your forum I hope you’ll consider changing that rule.
This rule also prevents me personally from participating, but would have liked to spend more time on Windice again Especially for Bitcointalk members this rule could be relaxed a bit, we post here very regularly and support if necessary directly in the forum. But at the same time I understand that the tracking of Bitcointalk usernames is not implemented and would mean a significant additional effort for Windice. But of course I don't want to have to create an account and "spam" so that I can participate. @Lakai01 exactly people will only spam their forum cause they’ll need to keep those 5 posts constantly, and that’s a turnoff for me cause these posts will be meaningless for the site. Furthermore they can keep a google sheet for Bitcointalk members, and it’s not that hard to keep a track if they want.

wondered that are we entitled for the triple winning ?
It should be as the official result is a TKO win for Poirier in round 1. Didn't watch the fight, but what an anticlimax! Maybe this opens the door for fight nr 4... @KennyXBTC wait for the official decision from Stake I’m sure soon they’ll announce their stand on this match, and most likely it’ll be a good decision which will please all those who had wagered on this match. @babygun yea it was totally unexpected and very sad to see someone injured like that, hopefully he’ll get a rematch once he’s fit.

Yes of course he is going to leave, but not this year. I doubt Dortmund is going to leave Sancho and Haaland in the same year. I just don't think there is any chance for that to happen unless, as I said, the transfer fee is a real moonshot.
They will wait for Haaland to grow up more and sell as higher as possible and I agree that they might not want to sell both two big stars in a same transfer season. They need time to rebuild their team, to find another player as replacement for Sancho and to make sure their performance won't be affected too much. With Dortmund, they will sell star players to enrich their balance sheet and Haaland will not feel happy in Dortmund if he plays there in many years. Without Sancho and Haaland, Dortmund will have trouble making it even into the champions league qualification. Hell, it could even be close for the Europen League. Imagine they have two or three injuries during the season and Sancho and Haaland are gone, game over!
In the past season Dortmund struggled to get a position to Champions League. It would be terrible if they sell both Sancho and Haaland. @hd49728 Dortmund have already clarified that Halland won’t be sold this season, but next season he’s definitely being sold and Dortmund can’t keep him beyond 2021 - 2022. Also I doubt that their performances will be severely effected because they’ll reinvest in little unknown player who’ll prove equal to Sancho and then two season later sell him, it’s typical Dortmund thing.

Ronaldo is at the end of his career but he can provide more than 20 or even 30 goals every season. It is better than many younger players. Problems that are barriers for a transfer to another club is his salary and his ambition to win titles especially Champions League. There are not many clubs can satisfy the demand of Ronaldo.
About Juventus, I think they got good income from Ronaldo and what happened because of the pandemic is common in football. Every clubs suffer financial troubles since the pandemic, not only Juventus and it is not responsibility of Ronaldo.
They can do a trick, renew his contract by 1 year so in this way they put less money as an expense since the money will divide in 2 years. Anyway, his agent is currently in Italy, we can have news very soon. Remember CR7 is not only a player is an Industry and we have only 50days left in the transfer market, if a normal player can wait the final week of the session he can't just do it. Besides that next week, Juventus will start the preparation for the new season with the players who weren't in the Euro or Copa America. @coinlocket$ I personally feel that Ronaldo's team is making all this noise in the press about him leaving, because neither Manchester United nor PSG want him, because if they did they would have already made a bid for him. Lastly his best option is to take a pay cut and stick with Juventus, unless Juventus don't have any money to pay him then he’ll be asked to leave but it’ll be interesting to see where he goes then.

~snip~ If Ramos and Varane leave the team together, their defense will be completely shattered.
It's sad that Madrid won't be shopping new players this time. It looks like they need big funds to buy new players. It could be that this step can make Madrid unable to compete with other clubs if there is no transfer of new players. If they lose 2 players at once it is not good . Ramos and Varane are starting to get along. They were always the first choice last season. Madrid should start hunting for Madrid players who are getting old. @AakZaki Real Madrid will have to promote player’s from within the club, or hope to get rid few squad player’s but so far I see no one is leaving. Also another option for them would be is to target the free player’s, but as far as I know there’re aren’t any quality player’s available for free in the current transfer window.

Djokovic didn't managed to cover the under 33.5 for me. I thought that he can win in 3 sets, which he did, but the score is very close, Shapolavov really gave a good fight and I would say that it is very close that in can go either way. But Djokovic mentally is really above most of the tennis players right now and that's what gives him the edge in winning close matches. I'll take this L. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) @TravelMug credits to Shapolavov for stretching Djokovic in all the sets, but he just felt short of defeating Djokovic. Also for the finals I expect Djokovic to win, and I think it’ll be a good idea to wager on him what do you’ll think?.

I still think that Barcelona will find ways to keep Messi, because too much was at stake and Laporta won the club's presidency, including with a promise to keep Messi at the club, and the player himself, unlike last year, has already expressed a desire to stay at the club, although of course the situation is already starting to drag on too much.
Bringing Laporta back is a first step of Barcelona to keep Messi. Messi looks to play better in the past season after the appearance of Laporta and he might win the first national title with Argentina. A big match with Brazil is not easy for Messi but let's see how he and Arghentina finish the Coppa America final match. If Messi feels good after Coppa America, I believe he will stay in Barcelona. I would also like to see Messi in another championship with pleasure and see how quickly he could fit into the playing patterns of another club and how successfully he did it. On the one hand, the English Premier League is now much more statuesque than the French championship, but on the other hand, I think that it would be easier for Messi with his style of play to play in France.
Premier League looks to not fit with Messi. He does not want to get injuries and might be fearful about Premier League. Lique I is at lower level than Premier League, La Liga and Serie A and it has similar level as Bundesliga. Those leagues have very strong teams Bayern Munich and PSG but others are not competitive enough. They all make those leagues are less interesting and competitive. If Messi only want Champions League, he can join PSG. @SquirrelJulietGarden more than injuries he’ll fear the premier league defenders, which will make his life very difficult on the pitch and hence I doubt he’ll be brave enough to come to premier league. Furthermore the only sticking point is that he needs to take a pay cut to stay, and at his age he might not be keen to take one.

Aus vs Windies series starting soon(5 T-20, 3 ODI) Surprised to see that Aussie squad missing few big names in this tour such as Warner, Smith, Cummins along with 2 T20 specialists Maxwell and Stoinis. Smith seems injured and Cummins must be preparing for the Ashes but why T-20 specialists opting out from the tour? Considering WC is not too far away. IPL effect or what? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FnG9deYV.jpg&t=665&c=7AlxxIUow0ZCTw) @JSRAW one reason has to be IPL because they’ll want to be fully fit before it resumes again, and from their perspective I can understand if they chose IPL over national cricket. Also second reason could be the WC, or just the need to take a break because they have many matches ahead of them and maybe they don’t consider WI big enough to participate in this series.

Assuming Messi decided to leave Barca, could PSG get it without attracting the attention of everyone? and as coinlocket mentioned what about financial fair play? Honestly if I am in Messi position, I will think twice before staying in Barca since he wants to lift a trophy with them, which won't be CL ones when you see what PSG is doing right now! without counting City, Chelsea..
It has never existed for them, they were investigating on them. Now their president is president of the European Club Association and Ceferin sold to him the copyright for something, can't remember for what. Do you even think they touch them? UEFA is nothing less than a Mafia. @coinlocket$ no club can buy Messi without breaking financial fair play rules, and not even PSG or City can get him even if they badly want him so he’s going to remain with Barcelona only at a reduced pay. Also anyone feels for Deepay, because he just joined Barcelona and already has to take a pay cut to make his signing official.
