Wait, didn't Ben Chilwell play quite well last season? What do you think made Enzo Maresca tell him to leave? I can't believe what happened to Chelsea. In fact, this team will always make big spending when the transfer season arrives and if this continues without end then they will not be able to create an ideal squad to win the competition.

I also don't know for sure why Enzo Maresca doesn't like him and indeed every coach has his own choice of players who will be included in the planning. If Ben Chilwell leaves it is actually quite good for his career rather than continuing to be in a silly team like Chelsea. I look forward to a club that wants to recruit him and if there isn't one by the end of this summer he will likely spend more time on the bench.



Sigh! I never expected that if Maresca would be brutally honest. I know that if Maresca is not excluding Chilwell from his plan. But, there is no guarantee his system will succeed. It will be very bad if we let one of top-notch LB to leave from our club. He is the only experienced LB in our club.

I bet Chilwell will last longer than Maresca at the club. Unless, of course, Chelsea has not terminated his contract or sold him. Im seeing this as a circus, and it's about how to destroy a Football Club in 3 short years.

Ipswich Town 0 - 2 Liverpool FC

It was a very tiring game to watch in the first half in my opinion, Ipswich Town fans celebrated when the first half ended in a draw, they probably thought that with the draw in the first half they were able to deal with Liverpool and were hoping to win or draw. But unfortunately for them in the second half Liverpool improved their performance a lot and caused great danger to the Ipswich Town defense in the 54th minute and 4 minutes later Liverpool could have scored a goal, but Diogo Jota was unlucky, funny thing is that 1 minute later Salah made a good assist for Diogo Jota who scored a goal and 5 minutes later Salah scored the second goal. I laughed a lot at this sequence of events.



Congratulations to Liverpool with this victory we are at the beginning of the race for the title
The first half was disappointed me to see how Liverpool has not yet found their rythm. But, yeah, that's a great win for sure. Though they always had tough to play the newly promoted teams on their home turf.  And some points that must be emphasize is that if Grav looked really good, and he has stepped up in that game. Diogoal is only warming up, and he showed he has potential. Salah is GOAT in this game, and no doubt he's one of best forwarder in PL. And last, Liverpool shall extend Trent's contract. He's still performing very well today, and deserve a new contract from Liverpool.

ETH is not looking well for it to catch up to Bitcoin apparently, the ETF was a massive disappointment with so many outflows



as someone who holds ETH as well myself, i'm just not really optimistic about the situation of ETH let alone thinking that it will catch up to Bitcoin which I don't think it will.

the presence of the Bitcoin L2 actually should be a serious competition to ETH though since it enables smart contract for BTC though it got its disadvantages as well.
344  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Many altcoins may not recover this fall. on: August 17, 2024, 02:10:14 AM
Whenever there is fall like this, only shitcoins don't recover back from the dip because it investors would have left when the coin or token lacks the minimum and adequate fund to keep it running up to the required stage, knowing more about the project developers is very important also because some where known for this that they will reward people for their investment on them while some may not due to so many reasons only them can relate with
some VC funded coin also don't really recover back, there were many of them I lost count but majority of coin that didn't have the token unlocked already and isn't at the level of top 100 usually have difficulty of recovering back due to the increase in BTC dominance lately and also because they are mostly just secondary investment choices.

that's why investing in some random altcoins is never a good idea to begin with



too much risk involved.
345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: August 16, 2024, 12:41:32 PM
Real Madrid is by far the best team for UCL this year, if it's too early to say this, they have the best squad in history right now, it feels very good to watch them, we are talking about a team that plays a game almost without making mistakes. Mbappe did not surprise me by scoring a goal in his first game, I was sure he would and he did.

I am already curious about how many goals he will score this season, he will do what he wants with the solid passer and playmakers behind him.
Expectations are high for Mbappe. I am sure he will experience a lot of goal celebrations in La Liga. There are many players in the back who will feed him. I think Mbappe can finish the season with close to 30 goals after these players feed him well. I congratulate President Perez for crowning the great squad in Real Madrid with the best. Mbappe will play exceptionally in this team.
Not only the defenders will contribute to Mbappe, but Luka Modric will also be a defender who I think can be questioned for his contribution, because from his feet it will be a deadly pass for the opponent to supply Mbappe to the opponent's goal, so it is not surprising that in yesterday's match Real Madrid was able to defeat Atalanta easily, even though Atalanta had given significant resistance, Real Madrid was actually stronger than the Italian club.
Hold on, dude. I'm only wondering since when Luka Modric has been a defender? He was playing as CM/AM. Modric was not even playing as a DM. It's hard to know your intention by saying it. And you should never doubt Modric's contribution to Madrid. he'd been lifting bunches of trophies even before Mbappe was getting into PSG and join in Madrid.

It seems you're not even reading the post you're quoting above.
346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 16, 2024, 12:27:41 PM
I read this news:
AS Roma are still waiting to receive an official bid from Al Qadsiah — while Saudi club advanced in contract talks with Dybala.
Negotiations continue while value of Al Qadsiah bid will be crucial step to understand if deal gets done
.
source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1823707008195026950
I confess that I am shocked. Roma have already lost Lukaku, when they lose Dybala, the team will not have good results. When Mourinho arrived at Roma and became coach, one of the very good things he achieved was to sign Dybala and bring in Lukaku. I do not understand why Roma did not make an effort to have Lukaku permanently and now they want to sell Dybala, who is a great player who has contributed a lot to the team's good results. It is clear how well Roma plays when Dybala is on the field. I also do not understand why Dybala is agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia when he is still young, he is 30 years old and could play another 3 seasons in Europe and then move to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he has been very unlucky with the Argentine national team. He does not even play in friendlies. It seems that the coach of the Argentine national team does not like Dybala. If Dybala leaves for Saudi Arabia, then he will hardly return to play for any big team in Europe.
Surprisingly Roma let Dybala to negotiation with Al Qadsiah representative which mean this transfer potentially will be happened and i think who doesn't interested high salary which offered by Saudi Arabian club because now it just happend to Dybala although he still 30 years old and his performance also still deserved to playing at Serie A but 20 million salary per year is really tempting him and probably he will thinking this offers with very well and not impossible Dybala will be accept it
I can see Roma has prepare to gets new players if Dybala really accept the offers from Al Qadsiah because currently Roma was attempts to look for new players as the replacement of Dybala and according to the rumours currently Roma targetting Juventus player Federico Chiesa and Jeremie Boga and about Federico Chiesa he has cheap price and Juventus want to sell him and if Roma is really really serious then i am sure this transfer will be happened

Should Dybala actually agree to go to the Saudi league?

He is only 30 years old and I think he still has a lot to actually give to his club. For a player like him, going to the Saudi league at only 30 years of age is probably not the right decision. He should actually stay at the top of the competition and try to perform well. I understand that the biggest problem he has is the injury problem. But that can happen wherever he goes right?

maybe he is trying to grab the cash bag before his injury situation becomes a lot worse and his market value becomes slower. But I think there is still time for that situation to come. Honestly, it is actually a surprise to me that he might agree to go to the Saudi league.

By the way, did he actually agree or are they just in negotiations with him? I understand why the club would want to sell him to the Saudi league. Of course, they are going to get a good amount of money. But the player really should not agree.



Man, please understand the situation properly. I know Dybala, at 30, can still play in the European league. But is there a club that will offer more than Qadsiah? Also, when a football player is getting even older, this is also decreasing his wages.

None wanted to pay an old player with very high wages. The problem is that, he's not Ronaldo, Dybala is not a superstar. He can't play into his late 30s like them.

Also, the latest report said that Dybala may have agreed to a transfer to Qadsiah.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/aug/12/chelsea-eye-permanent-deal-for-atletico-madrids-joao-felix

Joao Felix to Chelsea... Very likely to happen soon as it seems. It would be great news for Atletico Madrid and Felix both. He has no future left there you know. Chelsea will need to pay quite a lot for his fee though. I hope he would show performances proving his value.

I'm not feeling good about how ATM isn’t pushing Samu to be moved but willing to push Felix to leave from there. ATM seems to have lured us in with Samu, and they planned for him to reject the offer from us. Then, they offered us Felix instead as a replacement for Samu. They knew Conor had already agreed to join with them. They wanted to make us look bad for holding the deal up with the hope we'll agree to buy unwanted talent like Felix.

And if Chelsea is gonna fall into this ATM's trap, we will look so stupid. I totally disagreed with bringing Felix back to this club. Conor brings much more to the squad than Felix did last seasons.

348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptocurrencies fall sharply on: August 16, 2024, 01:39:03 AM
What collapsed was Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies continued to collapse due to the impact of Bitcoin. Ethereum performed poorly compared to BTC and USDT and wiped out all the gains of the ETF. The support lines are at 2300 and 2100, if Bitcoin drops further then the problem will be.


it's mainly because some entity is dumping ETH massively that's why it performs worse than BTC but BTC also has its share of dumping as well in the past so it's understandable.

at least right now the ETF NET INFLOW is positive so it's a relief



but if BTC crashed again it will touch $2100 again though I guess.
349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you think of Aptos blockchain so far? on: August 16, 2024, 01:31:54 AM
Aptos blockchain is one of the VC garbage funded blockchain project. I don’t expect anything huge in long term with this project since the VC backing it is just jumping from one project to another for profit leaving a project like this insufficient funding in the future.

The current price is still over valued which we all know that it can suffer heavy dump on a bear market. Much better to stick to trusted blockchain project that doesn’t rely solely to VC funding to run the project.
indeed, these $350m fund raised from series of investment rounds for aptos need to be cashed out at some point



so, saying that it's a VC coin is pretty much true but unfortunately most of the other coin or blockchains are always being invested heavily by VC so unless we invest in ETH or BTC it's gonna be hard finding promising coin that didn't get invested by these VC funders.
350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Btc is for rich solana is for people on: August 16, 2024, 01:27:51 AM
How did you come out with that belief it's like saying that if you're poor, Bitcoin is not for you, so you should settle for cheap coins like Solana.

Just to enlighten you, you can buy $10 Bitcoin, and you can still make a profit, we have proven Bitcoin profitability for over a decade.

Solana is good, but I don't think it is better than Bitcoin in terms of profitability, market cap, and popularity; Bitcoin is a highly stable investment. You just have to be patient to reap the profit.
if there's anything that could be used to determine whether a coin is for rich or poor it'd be the fee imposed on the blockchain like ETH back then where it requires $200 just to mint NFT or to swap coin.
since cryptocurrencies can be bought in decimal amount, using the price to determine whether it's good investment for the rich or the poor isn't really the right thing.

even BTC which OP called out as a coin for the rich only require cheap fee, so it isn't exactly coin for the rich but coin for the people who seek opportunity.

The Premier League kicks off this weekend so our boredom will soon be over as it's a league we look forward to betting on, of course. Grin

I have prepared a combo bet for the first week:
Man United @1.60
Liverpool @1.33
Newcastle @1.35
Man City @1.81
Total odds @5.20

It won't be much $10 is enough to bet, because that's what I can afford to lose if it's $10. Tongue

My bet is almost similar to yours, but I'm not underestimating Chelsea in their first week. I take double chance as a safe bet. It's probably that Chelsea learned from their loss to City in the pre-season game.

But, why don't you take Arsenal against wolves? It's also one of ez match to bet beside Liverpool and Newcastle.

352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 15, 2024, 05:39:22 PM
Dybala will probably leave As Roma for 15€ yearly offered by Saudi Arabia.
Easy to buy players with petrodollars Cheesy

Anyway, Roma is going for Boga now to replace his slot.

It seems Dybala is still using his sense. Dybala played football for money, and it's so hard for him to miss a lucrative offer from saudi. this is because he is now 30 years old, and that makes sense for him to take petrodollars offer from Saudi. And it seems Roma is also interested in selling him too before his contract runs out.
And also, it's a win-win situation for Dybala and Roma. This is because Dybala will get 80 mil euros in 3 years from Qadsiah, and Roma also gets 15 mil plus his wages off the books. This sounds fair for all parties.

It seems Roma is gonna use that money raised from selling Dybala to fund Boga.
353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If An Altcoin is Not Listed on Coinmarketcap - Will it Never be? on: August 15, 2024, 03:55:58 AM
It is not necessary for a coin to be listed on CoinMarketCap to be good or available for trading, it can be listed on other altcoin listing sites other than CoinMarket.

Also some meme coins can be traded instantly on DEX by contract address without being listed, some people think that listing on CoinMarketCap makes a coin good and this is not true at all, there are a lot of scam coins listed on CoinMarket.
but taking it this way will also exposes us to scam coin and rugpulls, maybe at some point you can be trading a fake coin too, there were scam coins in coinmarketcap but the amount of scams that you're exposed to significantly increase when you just pick some random contract address and decide to use it in uniswap or any other dexes for example and as it turns out it was a fake contract address all along.
so I think coinmarketcap still plays a role in giving us assurance that at least the data shown in their website are reliable enough to be trusted.
354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When Others Panic, the Wise Accumulate: Opportunity knocks in crypto downturns on: August 15, 2024, 03:25:21 AM
For now, the crypto market is currently on a giveaway, and any investor who has money to benefit from the dip in the crypto market should seize the opportunity before bitcoin starts increasing again. But they should be careful while navigating the crypto market. Now, not all tokens in the crypto market can bounce back; a lot of them will rug-pull, and some can't survive this dip because there are no solid ideas behind them. I am only bullish on bitcoin and can easily recommend it to someone to buy and hold it for the long term because bitcoin has been around for a long time.

just invest in solana or ethereum if you decide to invest in altcoin and everything will be easier, no rugpull, no sudden dump by dev, just a dip that you can buy to get better position for your investment in the market and get the head start.

the current market right now seems to be favouring bitcoin, apparently bitcoin dominance has been increasing ever since while altcoin is dumping in term of dominance, therefore investing in smaller altcoin with low chance of recovery isn't really the brightest idea, i'd invest in the best of the best altcoin if i were to put money into altcoin in the time of turbulence like this just for the sake of safety and risk management.
355  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DOGS airdrop ending today on: August 15, 2024, 03:21:05 AM
The fact that the dog coin team generated a 50 million user base doesn't translate into success because almost 99% of those subscribers are all airdrop hunters who are looking for some free money on the Internet and using the telegram age to earn free coins.

but this is also what most of meme coin looking for, a sudden spike of userbase or community enough to create hypes although the user number will plummet once TGE is done but I think the coin itself will still valued quite high, but i'm certainly thinking twice about buying this coin until it dumped really deep because there were so many people that got airdropped millions of DOGS.
but i'm pretty sure though the market cap will be above $100 million since it got endorsed by the TON team which adds to the hype since it's in TON ecosystem and the current ecosystem is still growing.
356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any Meme Coins That Will Explode – What Should We Watch? on: August 14, 2024, 05:37:46 AM
I believe that the ideal is not to discover the next meme coin, you should go after solid projects that have something to contribute. This will give you more money and less headache. Memes can go to zero quickly and you will lose the money you worked for. To me, that will never be worth it.

some solid project with solid team like manta is also going to zero same thing with memes, so solid project isn't guarantee that the price gonna shoot up anyway.
regardless if we just stick with BTC, ETH, some of the lesser market valued coin such as SOL and BNB, I think it's gonna be better if we really try to avoid some coin that can goes to zero.

but indeed, a meme coin could definitely go to zero faster than any other, even maybe in just 12 hours it can go to zero already, such thing happened quite frequently in birdeye and dexscreener just look it up LOL Grin.
357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it easy to teach crypto to beginners? How to? on: August 14, 2024, 05:32:23 AM
people asked me how to play crypto then they asked me to teach them how.

should tell them to change their mindset that crypto isn't playing at all, it's real money we are talking about and if someone is greedy and they go on future trading with 200x leverage they'd probably become broke in just few days Grin.

so I think teaching them about the fundamental of invesitng and trading in which could prevent them from being greedy and goes broke should also be the first to teach if you plan to teach them something that could risk their money, just my opinion regardless.

The trending altcoins this year are Pepe Coin, Bome, Wif, Ton, Manta, Not, Sol, and many others, as far as I know.

But the ones I have from the ones I mentioned are Notc Bome, Pepe, and Ton, which include Base and Aero. These are just a few of my holdings that are altcoins at the moment, honestly speaking.
manta is trending but in rather in a bad way LOL Grin.
the coin literally went form $4 to $0.7 even if it's the most trending crypto ever in the entire world I don't think i will invest in it.



I think currently the crypto that's trending is ONDO, PEPE, TON, NOT and some of the upcoming coin from the ton blockchain.

Fenerbahçe was unfortunately eliminated from the Champions League. He played the match very well and scored the goal, even if it was a chance goal, in the 90th minute, but he ended the match 1-1 with the goal he conceded without extra time and was eliminated with a score of 3-2 in total because he was defeated in the first match.
The team played very well. I think it is better for Fenerbahçe to continue from the Europa League because it is not possible to go very far in the Champions League. There are more equal teams in the Europa League and they can go all the way to the final.

It's so sad, man. This is an unfortunate result for Fenerbahce. They're not playing badly in this game. Fenerbahce made many golden chances. But, they weren't lucky enough to convert these chances into goals. They deserved to win this. They hit the post twice; they had 7 shots on goal. It's just so unlucky.
The result against LOSC ended their chance to earn money from the UCL. The upside is they still qualify for the Europa League. It doesn't pay as much as the UCL, but it's better than nothing. And last, proud of the Fenerbahce team for fighting so hard though.

Chelsea again throwing money buying players here and there but if they are actually serious and building up the youngsters there, primier league could be seeing prime Chelsea in next few years.

It's unlikely to happen. Chelsea bought lots of players because they are gonna flip them for more money. If you see the club's composition, there are many inexperienced youths there. And it makes me think that if we're not going to see prime Chelsea in the coming years.

The current line-up does not show we care about the title race.  But we care about buying a young talent, developing him well, then selling him. And that's straight with Boehly's vision that sees football as a business.
