Leclerc deserved the victory but a safety car first and a Yellow flag later during his overtake attempt denied him the 1st position.

Let's hope these cars will improve at the same paste, it will be an awesome year, waiting for the Mercedes.
Saw the Tweets about it come out just as I posted that yesterday, yeah... And then the 2 yellows late on but investigations very quickly cleared anyone of wrongdoing.

But probably better than anything else, the guy didn't even complain a single bit -- absolutely racking up my opinion of him.

(I'm still crossing fingers for a surprise podium finish from AT but the way the first 2 races are going, think Ferrari will flex all the way). Australian magic?
Lol, I love the shade at Hamilton (hopefully I got it right) with complaining. Interestingly Hamilton had the audacity to say "I am doing the maximum I can do out there, I am not sure about the team" or something like that. All the fanbase hatred aside, Russell seems to be doing fine, he is constantly right behind those 4 drivers, and I believe that he will keep on racking points every week hoping that Ferrari and red bull keep on fighting and taking each other out time to time.

If there are enough retired races from both teams, George could find himself a fourth or even a third position this year, depending on the reliability of other teams of course. And this is considering how the teams are right now, if Mercedes gets better, then he definitely has a chance.

England lost Ashes 4-0 but thats something understandable as they were aganest worlds best Test team. West Indies is not in good form these days and they lost to Ireland in recent ODI series 2-1. Everyone was expecting England to regain there form in this series but England lost both ODI and test series, this is a big worry sign for England.
England now lost their last 5 test matches from 8 which is the worst for them and now many old legendary players are rising their voices about this all, but today I read Root is still consisting he will not leave captaincy even it's not good from him, but we can't talk about this. So, now playing in away matches is never been easy for any team and West Indies is currently the weakest team in test cricket, but England is also in the same category just because of their tactics and selection policy.

Even now many voices are talking about their all system which need to be big changes if they want to grow again, but it's not easy it needs some good and long policy hopefully now after having these the worst results their management will think about this and try to bring some better and quality talent even these could be from mostly Asian connection because it's now also big concern they are not bringing some good number of talented players those are from settled families which need to change.

We have seen that Dortmund was unable to use many of their opportunities in this season. They played as if they don't have the hope that they can overtake Bayern Munich at anytime. They were just playing that way.
There were alot of controversial refereeing in matches that would have favoured Dortmund. Atleast I witnessed it in one match I watched.
The best way for Dortmund to overtake Bayern Munich is if there is a fixture between Dortmund and Bayern, they will give there last shot. Is there such a fixture?
Agree with this Dortmund missed too many opportunities in this season and one thing also correct there is something wrong in refereeing as well because most of the time we have too much favor for Bayern Munich in this league which is helping them to control all things very easily, but sadly another big issue is Dortmund management never been serious about their title fight mostly they love to have their big profit from selling players and buying upcoming stars on very low price they need to change their mind as well because with this attitude they have never been good for win this league title but good thing happening now we have some good fight from Leverkusen, Leipzig and Hoffenheim which is good and this can create some healthy competition for Bayern Munich in coming season.

Currently, we have very interesting competition for end of season and spots for Champions League with four teams fighting hard for remaining two spots which is going for very healthy end of this season.

Barcelona already managed to beat Real Madrid and I believe that Sevilla should not be a big problem for them. This would mean that they would be tied in the same points with Sevilla and still lacking one game. In that case it is all but guaranteed for them to become second at the very least, and just 6 point difference with Real Madrid as well, for like 7-8 more games after that.

I am not saying that it could be closed because Real would barely lose 6 points in that many games, maybe not even that much, plus it would mean Barça beating every single opponent until the end of the season. But even the possibility of it is amazing improvement for Barcelona.

Liverpool are having another solid season now in the English Premier League and Champions League both. And they would definitely like to achieve both titles too. But it is not going to be comfortable for them either. However in this round, Benfica are not a big threat to Liverpool. I know how Benfica managed to eliminate Ajax despite showing a poor performance in general. But this doesn't work every time. You can't eliminate every team by having a poor effort. Liverpool are a merciless team in this kind of situations and I believe they will destroy Benfica in the first leg already.
Have different performance between Benfica and Liverpool on each domestic league, actually Benfica is not have chance for domestic league winner with inconsistent performance and behind 12 points from 1st standing FC Porto, have different thing with Liverpool on domestic league still have chance for the winner behind 1 points from Manchester City as leader standing position. I think on champion league Liverpool as favorite team to defeat Benfica on quarter final and I think have chance for Liverpool could winning between 1st and 2nd leg.
The biggest difference is that Benfica is not even in a great league like LFC is, Liverpool is just one points behind City in premier league, the biggest league in the world right now probably. So, when we are talking about something that big, it should not be a shock to anyone that Liverpool is seen as a great team not just against Benfica, but probably against any team in the world.

I can't name a single team that would be "dominating" against LFC, and certainly not benfica. LFC will easily beat benfica and go to next stage, it will not take long, the first game will end up with a result so clear cut that the second game will become just a formality.

I believe a key reason for Arteta success was that he decided to slowly implement his methods, and he removed the player’s that were not playing for him i.e. Auba and that showed a strong character which helped other player’s trust him more. Also I think that we’ll see boosted odds from Sportsbet for Arsenal vs Manchester United and Tottenham games, as these are really important fixtures which will determine who gets closer to the fourth spot.
The situation we are considering when it is about sportsbet.io sponsored teams is definitely important. Whatever we can get out of sportsbet.io from this situation would be a benefit to us and I believe that we should be very happy about it for sure.

However, the reality is that we should not really be getting too ahead of ourselves neither, UCL could be great, Arteta definitely works towards that, and you are right he is building the team slowly but at the same time this was the team that was last in the league during early weeks. So, we should not be really shocked that it may not happen so quickly and they may not get any good results like a cup or anything for a while longer.
3407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto wealth can only be built in bear market on: March 27, 2022, 02:59:34 PM
Not totally created in the bear market but it's part of the process. It was the first phase, you need to accumulate coins in the bear and hodl it till the bull returns. It's the bull market that lets you sold all the coins you bought in the bear for profits. Bitcoin value is now at $44k which means we are not in the bull market but we are also not in a bear market.

The market now is in the recovery phase. A bull market is when the coins surpasses their last ATH and a bear market is when the coins surpasses their previous ATHs. Depending on the bear, there are instant bears which price falls to a very low level in just a day but there's also bears which price decays slowly. Newbies should wait obviously for a decrease in price before they buy.
3408  Economy / Economics / Re: Ukraine has legalized the cryptosector on: March 27, 2022, 09:30:28 AM
IMO they have made a really good decision. I believe that this decision that they made would go as far as helping the country even after the war is over which we are all praying for. We all know for sure that cryptocurrency has really been a useful tool for Ukraine at this hard time. Through the cryptocurrency donations that they have received during the war they have been able to support their military in so many ways.

Imagine that they were not open to accepting cryptocurrency, most of what they have gotten through cryptocurrency wouldn’t have been made possible. It is good to see a country that is open to such an advancement in different areas.
3409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 27, 2022, 05:24:22 AM
True. It is like a fantasy, not sure what Barcelona management is doing. What for signing Lewandowski or Mbappe? I don't think they need new strikers, they already have many strikers right now. I suspect Barcelona only wants to get attention by doing this.  Cheesy
Lewandowski is having contract problems with Bayern and I think he is very much likely to leave free in next transfer window. Luuk de Jong is currently on loan at Barca so I think he will go back to Sevilla. Maybe Barca are looking to replace then? Lewandowski is going free and also won't give as much dent to their financial condition as compared to Haaland and Mbappe whom newspapers and online articles recently linked up.
As FC Barcelona President announces we have some good heat in transfer market and things could be more heated in coming days because two best strikers are having contract issues with their respective clubs and both are targeted by FC Barcelona president in his press conference even mostly feeling it's only fantasy but still something happening around these things.

Recently they have few very good signings and there were chances now they will not do any big deal as they are facing some big financial issues and have big debited which is also creating chaos for them, but now their performance is on best rise so with this all surely they can do some better marketing strategy and for next season they could be more lethal for having some big titles because without these they can't settle their financial problems and with this announcement they are bringing themselves in limelight.

Arteta easily the best rated manager in EPL right now, Klopp and Pep in a different class. Players like Saka absolutely motivated. Arsenal don't have it easy, but on the other hand, winning games against United and Spurs are their best bet for guaranteeing 4th spot (if not 3rd).
Arteta is comes from Pep tutorship right? Which means that even though Pep is a different class, Arteta had the chance to play in EPL for a long time, and then he had the chance to use that experience into building a better style with Pep for EPL and then used it for Arsenal. I mean he combined everything he got together and built something different. Dude is definitely one of the rare coaches for sure, but take him and put him on like let's say Lyon on Ligue 1 and I believe he would not be "this" great. He would still be a decent manager, but right now he is in the perfect position for his job and that is why he is overachieving so much.
He does come from Pep's staff, but I believe Arsenal part is a bit more true. Dude was an Arsenal player for like 5+ seasons I believe, and comes from Barcelona youth system himself as well. Combining those two together could be a bit more important than the Pep staff part. Don't get me wrong, he probably learned a lot there as well, definitely something beneficial for any manager in the world.

We have seen an example of this just recently Dominic Torrent was a staff member for Pep for years, started t o be manager for Galatasaray recently, and nearly took Barcelona to brink of elimination, so being in Pep's staff is a great deal for sure. But combining Barcelona youth + arsenal playing days for 5 seasons could lead to a great result too.

Which team is hot favourite for IPL - how is it going in India are people excited about IPL.
As far as I know PSL was very much like and admired by Pakistani cricket fans. I think the same spirit is seen for the IPL as well. Someone please tell me which team is favorite for win. Thanks
IPL is the biggest franchise tournament in Cricket and if that is the case you very well know the answer about the excitement as anyone who love Cricket will be engaged for a full month. There are two new teams added to the tournament and Chennai Super Kings in the defending champion but Mumbai Indians is the favorite all the time, other than that it is hard to predict which team will win the tournament.
After end of first match now prediction is not easy as defending champions lost very badly after having very bad performance into batting and very good and quality performance from KKR predicting about favourite is not easy but as usual Mumbai, CSK and KKR can go through in good way until end of this league as these teams having very good quality and experienced players.

But, as others are mentions now with the two extra teams and length of this tournament is also going to have some big impact because weather is also going to be big impact with this all which team will be able to adjust in quick time they can win this year's title.

If someone asks from me then I am going with Mumbai and RCB as now RCB is also can do some better after dropping Kohli from captaincy.
3412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Afghans turn to cryptocurrencies amid US sanctions on: March 26, 2022, 09:11:02 AM
Without sanctions we all know for sure that none of these countries were going to accept Bitcoin (most of them wouldn’t), but after they have been sanctioned, they now see the importance of having Bitcoin in their country and have decided that it is best for them to quickly adopt it or face the worst situation that is ahead of them.

Anyways, Bitcoin would be useful to them, but they shouldn’t really see it as a Savior because it wouldn’t really change much. The good thing is that there will be more people and institutions from these countries who would start investing in Bitcoin starting from now and it will help to boost Bitcoin on a long term.

For real what a shame, second time Italy is out from world cup....
Now in the status of European champions  Grin
In general, I think that the champions of Europe, Africa, South America, etc. must receive a ticket to the World Cup directly. It is rather strange that the champion of the strongest championship (European) misses the World Championship. Maybe this is logical from the point of view of the qualifying tournament system, but I don’t like such result at all.
I am not agreed with this suggestion because current selection system is best for this mega event around the globe just home team and defending champions are allowed to have their spots and others need to do pass this all process which give all teams an equal chance now many other sports authorities also going through with this system because they are feeling comfortable with this all and no one can object with any things about spot in world cup.

Now, European Champions out of this World Cup second time in a row and a team which was not in limelight having full chance of qualification if they beat Portugal like this is surely beauty and merit of this game with this option any new team can go through in World Cup and having their best option for winning this event as well because it's all open for all teams around the world.
3414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 25, 2022, 08:30:30 PM
Probably it's just me but I really fail to understand what is the problem here. it's not about double standards, it's about the players having more and more playing time. and if the players get those playtimes in other countries like Australia, England, New Zealand, or countries like these, I think the players would have become better compared to just them playing in the Indian domestic league.
I have been feeling it's not double standard it's only their own power, and they are good no one challenge this in last one decade because right now they are superpower in cricket with their financial strength.

Even it setsback for many players as they can take some good experience from playing in other countries and also can bring some good foreign currency for their country but BCCI is not thinking in this way, and they are not allowing because they want their local players only enjoy in this IPL, and they have some good advantage just because of this as India is also having some good communities in other countries, so these peoples watch their own Country players only in this league which give them some more strong fan base and more financial advantage as we all know they love this game and their own players.
3415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to be investing in Bitcoin? on: March 25, 2022, 06:44:48 AM
From my own perspective as a long term investor(this means I buy for the long term and not for the short term profit), I personally think there is no wrong time to buy bitcoin, please note that I mean bitcoin in particular, not just any crypto coin, most, if not all other coins and tokens out there do have a wrong time to buy them even if you plan to hold them for a long time, but bitcoin,  doesn't have a wrong time to buy, expect you are a day trader or a short term investor who care about the short term gains, then I did say you have to pay attention to buy bitcoin at the right time, bitcoin didnt drop as much as many thought it would due to the Russia Ukraine saga, this goes a long way to show that bitcoin is gradually proving itself as an independent currency which is what it was created to be.
I agree, I am a long term investor and there are a lot of coins that have a bottom and a peak but then it may not be possible to reach that peak over and over again. The only coins that I believe that will surely break its own ATH would be btc, eth and bnb (maybe ltc too) and that's it.

I am not saying others won't, they might too and they might get to a higher price, I am just saying that there is no guarantee in my mind for them to reach their ATH, it "may or may not" happen for me. This is why I believe that we should not be surprised to see people investing into bitcoin a lot more during this period, it certainly gives that freedom and ease of mind.

Fenerbahce officially declared that Mesut Ozil and Ozan Tufan is out of the roster right now. They took that small break and left the nation and just had fun, which was seen as unprofessional I guess. Whatever the reason was, it is a good deal because they were never really good and they never provided 100% they had to the game.

I get that they both could be looking like a good star level player for a club like Fener, but if you are a star that sits down and not works, versus some 16 year old kid comes out and suddenly outworks you, that kid deserves to be playing more than you do. I believe this will result with Fener becoming second, because everyone who stays will be afraid and will work harder.
3417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 24, 2022, 08:28:38 PM
I'm sure Sevilla will lose second place in the table after the next few matches. Sevilla will probably lose second place in the table after losing to Barcelona in their next match. It will be really difficult for them to stay in the top four of the table in the form they are in at the moment. But maybe Sevilla will be fourth in the table. In third place, we might see Atletico Madrid.
I also sure about this because in last few matches they are losing their rhythm and very crucial points which are going to be trouble for them even I have feeling they could be dropped to fourth with right now Atlético Madrid is also having amazing form, and they are in good touch specially after beating Manchester United now they are in Quarter-final of Champions League. They will try their best for having this third spot and push Sevilla at fourth which is also secure for next season Champions League spot.

After this break we have Barcelona vs Sevilla which is going to be killer for them as Barcelona will take second spot and Atlético Madrid with share third spot with Sevilla with just few goals difference.

Now things are very clear for ICC Women's World Cup as England outclass Pakistan very easily and now have their eyes on third spot with now they have last match against Bangladesh which is also very poor in technique and experience. After losing early matches, it's a big achievement for them to have this come back.

Three teams already out from Competition New Zealand, Bangladesh and Pakistan with two teams already secure their places in semi-final games and three are still in hot seats like West Indies having amazing start but now suddenly they are completely out of touch and lost matches against India and Pakistan and hard fought win against Bangladesh with today they lost one crucial point against South Africa due to rain now their slot depend on Indian win/lose if India win against South Africa then West Indies surely out and If they lost then they will be at fourth spot in case of rain still they will out.
3419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can we do to speed up Bitcoin mass adoption? on: March 24, 2022, 05:23:48 AM
You do not have to do donations for it, just get it legally and you will be fine. There is no law that says bitcoin cannot be accepted as a payment of a service or a product, it hasn't been in a long long time. Just put a bitcoin accepted here and maybe if you want to give discounts give discounts and sell it with that. Then pay your taxes on that income like a regular citizen (even though we do not like to pay it) and you should be fine.

The adoption will came in when more places started to accept it, more places will start to accept it when it is less volatile or at the very least it would be easier to accept it and turn to fiat very quickly (or instantly).

Actually, Roma also can take advantage of the situation next week. They are going to take on Sampdoria in an away game. While the teams in front of them are playing against each other, they can drop the gap with them more in the league table. Maybe it seems really difficult for Roma to make it to the top 4 now. But there is still nothing ended. And at least, they can keep their current position too. Because they are having an inconsistent season in general and it is the best for them to fight hard till the end.
AS Roma doing good job in last ten matches and have just one lost but sadly now they already lost their chance for having spot into top four because they were awful in middle of season and give easy points to weak teams which is now hurting very badly now their best chance is staying at fifth or sixth spot with Atlanta because top four teams having very good competition for staying at top and no other team can compete with them with their current run.

After break, we have Juventus vs Inter and Atlanta vs Napoli most chance Napoli and Juventus will take their full points and then surely gape will widen from other teams with top four. Inter were very good at top, but their current form is bringing them down from here they are doing their best for staying into top four, and they can do this with their quality players.
