I understand your own view, because people under the influence of Alcohol or drugs can comit a crime because at that time he is being controled by the drugs and can be very dangerous but in another perspective in times of stopping crime I don't think banning Alcohol, Hard drugs, Cigarette and weed can help to stop crime in a society because with or without drugs crime will always be there because there are people that comit crimes without the influence of Alcohol or any drugs, and also I was made to believe that most countries with high cold weather uses alcohol or cigarettes to keep themselves warm so in every angle we view it, is good and bad.
Yes... I also really agree with that. There are many reasons why someone can commit a crime. And alcohol and drugs are one of the triggers for a person to commit crimes, where if consumed not according to the rules can cause a person to lose control or become addicted to alcohol and drugs and this is a very dangerous thing, because apart from being able to harm oneself, it is this could be detrimental to other people. And besides that, alcohol and drugs can provide other benefits, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.
So it is necessary to pay attention to the rules for its use and distribution, because there are still many who abuse it.

And so it is with someone who is addicted to gambling. It is not ruled out that when a person is seriously addicted to gambling and what happens is he runs out of capital, it is possible that that person will do reckless things (crimes) to get money to return to the gambling table. Which is where it is very dangerous and this is where it is necessary to gamble responsibly

Even if that's the case, they still have a chance to currently be in the Champions League at least to qualify in the group phase.
Indeed there is Arsenal but looking at PSV and Lens I think they can compete in the 2nd place of the group phase even they can also compensate for Arsenal in this case. Sevilla sometimes surprise in European competition and last season was proof that they surprised everyone by winning the Europa Legaue.

In addition, with their destruction in La Liga now it cannot be a guarantee that they are also bad in the Champions League because Sevilla is a Champions League subscription and they can focus on the Champions League and qualify for the Knock out Phase later.

I think Manchester City is the best team in the Champions League so far. Because this team managed to win two trophies last season and won another trophy earlier this season. All things considered, they are self-confident. As such, Manchester City has the potential to perform well in the Champions League this time.
Really bro?  Huh
I'm discussing Sevilla here who are in group B with Arsenal, PSV and Lens.
When moving directly to Manchester City wouldn't this be too lame? On the other hand, I think everyone also knows that Manchester City is the best club at the moment and is still a strong candidate with their defending champion status so things like this are no longer up for debate.
Even though it is still within the scope of discussing the Champions League and Manchester City is also in it, I think you need to read further so that your post is not looked down upon because my previous discussion went too far from the answer you gave.

Their players are still not in sync with each other which makes it a bit tricky for Chelsea. On the other hand, it is true that they currently have a bad condition in attack but looking at the current condition I think it is a natural thing where risks like this will happen if we change too much from starting players and coaches.
One loss, one draw and 2 defeats are not very good if you look at the current conditions but I think with the current conditions it is actually still fixable and Pochettino can take Chelsea in a better direction just waiting for whether he will fall down with all the criticism or actually rise to be better.
Honestly speaking, I'm yet to understand Chelsea's current issues that's making them to be underperforming despite all the huge spendings by the club's management to add more quality players to the squad. From the statistics, Chelsea has spent more than any European club in the last three transfer windows yet the results gotten from these players are very poor.
Mauricio Pochettino is a great and experienced manager who I think should deploy the best of his managerial abilities to that'll serve as a lasting solution to the club's current issues. Though they've lost two games in four matches this season, but if Chelsea can bounce back to winning ways, they can still have a great season
All I can say for a reason in this case is that their reshuffle was so sudden. It's not just about the players but it starts from the owner as well as the club officials which makes them unable to recover quickly.
Todd would have breathed easier if Cech hadn't followed Abramovich's lead to leave but Abramovich's confidants left one by one which left them devastated last season and the replacements now both in terms of club officials and coaches still can't contribute much even though the player reshuffle is done every season.
In addition, the reshuffle of many players also cannot be a guarantee that they will immediately develop and the proof is last season and now, because they also have to think about adaptation which cannot be done quickly.

Frankly, I don't have high expectations from Sevilla either. They are not assertive in La Liga, and they joined UCL with their European cup win. If it wasn't for that quota, he wouldn't even be able to join the conference league. If I remember correctly, they finished in 12th place in the season.
Even if that's the case, they still have a chance to currently be in the Champions League at least to qualify in the group phase.

There is no longer a good possibility for Paul Pogba's career, like footballers who have been injured, they will be very vulnerable to being injured again, as happened to Paul Pogba, he has been injured several times, even Juventus took quite a bold step when brought him last season but the results were very disappointing, while at Juventus Paul Pogba spent more time healing from injuries.
Even now there is news circulating that Juventus is considering cutting Paul Pogba's salary because of his frequent injuries and lack of contribution to the team.
maybe if Paul Pogba did not suffer an injury I'm sure Juventus would be very proud to have this player because performance wise this player has a pretty good talent in every match I see he always makes a good contribution but its a shame the injury is the scariest ghost for all the player that Paul Pogba is currently experiencing and preventing him from contributing properly with Juventus and there is no other choice but to accept the offer of a salary cut from Juventus because there really is no current contribution in every match he is always injured which makes him have to leave the match.
Injuries are Pogba's main problem right now as the long rest and recuperation will have a huge impact on his performance.
Until now even though Pogba was brought in for free but he was unable to do much, Juventus were actually quite unlucky with the players.
Previously Chiesa was one of the most brilliant players and became the most reliable player but injuries also became a problem for him.

Now for Pogba to pioneer his performance from scratch and he must get good momentum so that his condition can return to initial performance.
But it will not be easy because at the moment the burden he carries is still very large because he besides having to improve his own performance he also has to make Juventus better and focus on keeping Juventus' performance better than before is the most important thing he must do.

Actually this is quite unfortunate even though Ansu's talent is still very good but indeed Xavi doesn't seem to really want Ansu in his squad because seeing some of the players he always plays Ansu is not an option because he prefers to play Gavi on the winger as well as providing a new portion for Gavi.

But with Ansu's loan to Brighton this could be a blessing for Brighton and be a good capital if Ansu can Improve in the EPL because with the quality of the EPL which is better than La Liga this can make the value of Ansu increase if he manages to perform well in the EPL.

Ansu Fati, a striker once considered a prodigy and expected to replace Messi at Barcelona. Miramontes once praised him and said that Fati would be a worthy successor to Messi's number 10 shirt. But injury brought his career at Camp Nou to a dead end. He gradually lost confidence when he got another slight damage, and coach Xavi dropped him from the main squad. In particular, the appearance of Lamine Yamal forced Fati to sit on the bench. Brighton borrowed Ansu Fati until next summer's transfer window. This is an opportunity for him to once again prove his achievements.
Ansu's mistake in recovering from his injury was that he opted for conservative methods rather than surgery, although this is good enough but it does not guarantee that he will not suffer the same injury and this could be a consideration for Xavi against Ansu.
Despite that I think he is still good enough if given more time, it's just that Xavi didn't give too much time to this player especially when trying to exploit Gavi in the winger position which made Ansu lose his position in Barcelona even more.
Now it depends on how Ansu fares at Brighton. It will be great as I said earlier if Ansu can prove himself and improve at Brighton especially now that Brighton is also a surprising dark horse club so if he can improve this will be very good for the value of Ansu himself.

Barcelona's just beginning youngster and jersey number 10 representative has parted ways with the club to join the English side. Xavi Hernandez expects him to develop with his new club with the goal to return and contribute positively to the blaugrana. Ansu Fati is currently at Amex Stadium, where he was revealed this summer as Brighton's new player. Roberto De Zerbi will make substantial use of the new player who is in England accumulating advantageous proficiency. Perhaps it's made public that Ansu Fati will wear the jersey number 31 in his first season with the seagulls.

Diego Simeone found no interest in working with the Portugal international, and constantly keeps him on the bench during league games. This summer, Atletico Madrid's best young player deserted the club. He turned down vast proposals from Saudi sides because he was only interested in the blaugrana transfer. João Félix was determined to play for the blaugrana this summer, so he pushed his way out of Estadio Civitas Metropolitano. His new manager, Xavi Hernandez, will be able to make advantage of the player's positive qualities for the team.
The bad relationship between Joao and Simeone has made this complicated, so Joao's position in the main squad has been threatened since Joao and Simeone had an argument.
It looks like Atletico are quite sorry now because seeing the relationship between Joao and Simeone continues to deteriorate then I think it would be better if they released Joao from the previous few seasons because if you reflect on the previous few seasons Joao has been offered at a high enough price by several clubs.
But now that is a thing of the past. Joao and Atletico who initially had a relationship will now be opposite.

Btw this is like a good revenge from Barcelona because seeing before they had experienced almost similar conditions by Griezmann now Atletico also feel the same way Grin

Chelsea never played well. Its defenders were always often making blunders while at the same time its attackers were unable to scoring the goal. That's why EA was rated whole of chelsea players so badly. Even mudryk never made even a single goal since he was coming to the club. I don't even know why this team looks like the stupidest club in EPL. Nottingham forest is far better than chelsea. I must admit if this thing was true.
Look at how chelsea defeated by nottingham forest at stamford bridge which was surprising anyone. Many fans were feeling satisfied with the current performance of chelsea. Pochettino's tactic just remind me with potter.

Many complaints were coming to the club. I feel that if nothing change happened to the club. Chelsea played even badly than last season.
The club could still get perfect results last season in winning some early matches in a row while this time it's only able winning a match against weaker team like luton.
Their players are still not in sync with each other which makes it a bit tricky for Chelsea. On the other hand, it is true that they currently have a bad condition in attack but looking at the current condition I think it is a natural thing where risks like this will happen if we change too much from starting players and coaches.

Security is something that must be maintained by everyone and the safety and comfort of users must be a top priority for organizers and online gambling site service providers (platforms) or anything that involves many people.
And this should also be a concern of all of us before deciding to register on a particular gambling site or platform and we need to do as much tracking as possible about the security of that platform. Apart from that, we also need to be careful in every step we take when registering on a platform, pay close attention to each step, don't just click agree because you're lazy to read.

I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?
I have never been addicted to gambling, but I did come close to becoming one. The first thing I did when I almost lost control in gambling was to stop the gambling activities that I was doing for quite a long time, up to several days. I need to do this to calm myself and control my emotions. and I will return to gambling once my emotions are controlled.

There is another thing that I do, namely by asking someone to accompany me to play. so that when I lose control, then someone will try to revive me.

And I'm a bit pessimistic if someone who is already heavily addicted to gambling, can wake up in a short period of time. They will realize their bad behavior when they have lost everything, including money and the people closest to them.

Not really a waste of time to take care of any animal, it is a problem of why are you taking care of them. It is like if you take care of a cow or a pig, the purpose is to eat it, so not really good nor bad just an utilitarian purpose. A different thing is treating the animals to fight and the like, which in my book is pretty much a bad thing.
Not all animals that are kept and bred are only intended for consumption, such as cows and so on. However, there are animals that are kept as decorations like fish, whose selling value can even be up to hundreds of dollars or even more. And there are also animals that are deliberately kept as fighting animals, such as fighting cocks/Bangkok chickens, which are the same as ornamental animals that can provide a very high selling value of up to hundreds of dollars or even more if the chicken has succeeded in winning several cockfighting competitions. So as long as "cockfighting" continues to be preserved and has many fans, then the selling price of the chicken will also be higher. So keeping fighting cocks for people who understand and cultivate them is very promising.

The method of reading books and information updates alone is not enough and not necessarily successful, this is indeed a benefit but not necessarily when practiced you can immediately get what you want,
Actually this has been answered with your previous words. that "Reading books is intended for basic learners only" reading books is an introduction for us to know and understand further things. Sometimes when we read a theory or an article on the internet we are not able to understand it. then this is where it is necessary to read books so that we are able to understand and absorb more information than just what is in the books we read. And this understanding can be created by reading books and the ability to absorb the latest information as a complement.

Quote from: bangjoe
to accelerate this is by also practicing it or in conjunction with the effort you use, So that what is still from the information both from books or other media, but it should be remembered that every sector in increasing capital has different methods and principles, so you need to filter again it all to match what you do.
And I agree with what you said "that there is no result without an optimal process" and in carrying out this process requires a strong determination not to be shaken by existing challenges and a good understanding so that we are able to go through these challenges

Okay, reading is not useful, of course. But it is not as productive as it is commonly believed today. I have read books by Kiyosaki, Kornegi and similar authors, but I can say that the information there is too stretched for nothing, and the main idea is always the same:
You can tell that reading books is pointless, because you've read books. So reading is very useful and important. If only you had never read books, then you would not speculate and understand that reading books is useless.

Lol marketing is a part of business activity and it isn't just happened right now, it was done centuries ago even before our ancestor was born.
Lahhh...Indeed, who wants to try to separate these two things. And everyone realizes that the progress of a business cannot be separated from promotion. However, if a promotion is carried out in excess (over), this can also be fatal to the business you are running and the promotion you are doing. And all this must be in good control.

About streamers, it is indeed a profitable venture if the streamer happen to get sponsored by a casino.  Since these streamers can have an income on views generated by the platform and at the same time get paid by the casino.  I like streamers that always remind their viewers to gamble responsibly and that any amazing result on the stream has nothing to do with the viewers gambling experience since the result of gambling is always random.
And speaking of gambling streamers, I rarely come across streamers who behave the way you say. I respect them as streamers because after all they are workers who struggle to make a living. However, they also must not only side with the sponsoring sites, but must also look at the people who spend large sums of money on gambling because of being consumed by steamer talk. but I also hope that in the future every streamer can convey the message "gambling responsibly"

There are still some news around like Al-Ittihad will go for one last try to sign Mohamed Salah while there are 2 days left for the window to close for them. However this will just not happen. Their attempts are in vain. No matter they offer 200 million pounds or more Liverpool's answer will be the same.

One thing they don't understand is that Liverpool can't fill his place even if they say okay to them. This wasn't among his plans so they weren't prepared. They just want to keep Salah for one last season at least and then they would probably let him go if he also wants.

But now if they sell him they will be much weaker this season which would affect their performance very negatively.
Yep, the offer is even crazier than Al Ittihad now because 215 million as an expenditure clause and a salary of 2.45 million / week is clearly a very crazy offer but on the other hand this is again a dilemma because if Liverpool agree to this now even though there is huge fresh money there, they will still lose the figure of Salah, whose position will definitely be empty until the winter transfer opens.
Unless Liverpool want to gamble with their performance. Salah is still one of the players who contributed to date, 4 matches 2 goals he has created and that is proof that Salah is still influential for Liverpool.
Now the decision is still the same whether they want money or performance because losing Salah can make the balance disappear in the end.

Xabi's presence made Leverkusen better and the reversal of performance last season when Leverkusen crumbled in the Seoane Era is proof that Xabi did his job well at Leverkusen.
Now the start of the season with 3 consecutive wins in the first 3 matches is actually possible for Leverkusen to be in a decent position and get better achievements than before.

The match against Bayern will be their first test now even though they can compete but seeing the condition of the location of the strength of the two clubs I think Leverkusen will maximize the draw in this match.

Although the current performance is quite good but playing openly with the offensive they always show this is too dangerous if the opponent is Bayern so Xabi will likely prefer to survive and force a draw.
if we observe as a whole from the Bayern Munich and Leverkusen players, surely Munich will be more favored and on the one hand, the match which took place at home to Munich will provide greater opportunities. but I do not rule out the possibility that Bayern Munich will win because at the moment Leverkusen is also in a consistent state in every match that has never been beaten and Im sure Leverkusen will not give up just like that and will defend its points.

upcoming match is little difficult to predict because it is too early to analyze because we need statistics on the formation that will be used and who the players will be playing on the field and betting for less risk betting on both team scoring seems better or having a choice option other.
Current Odds



from this alone it is known who will be the favorite. Playing at the Alianz Arena with their current form will clearly be a high confidence for Bayern, therefore I still feel that Leverkusen will survive and will be more passive in the hope that they can hold Bayern in a draw.
But something like this will happen if Xabi wants to play it safe because if they want to play more boldly then Leverkusen will try to keep up with the game given by Bayern in this match even though the risk is much greater.

Xabi's presence made Leverkusen better and the reversal of performance last season when Leverkusen crumbled in the Seoane Era is proof that Xabi did his job well at Leverkusen.
Now the start of the season with 3 consecutive wins in the first 3 matches is actually possible for Leverkusen to be in a decent position and get better achievements than before.

Although the current performance is quite good but playing openly with the offensive they always show this is too dangerous if the opponent is Bayern so Xabi will likely prefer to survive and force a draw.
Of course, this will be an interesting match where both of them will fight for the top of the Bundesliga standings, even though Leverkusen certainly doesn't want to lose points in the upcoming match against Munich, as a coach of course Xabi will make a special strategy for his team so they can play defensively as well as attack, at least they can get results. draw and not drop points or pick up a narrow win against Munich even though it looks difficult.

I think the bet for this game will be very interesting even though Bayern will still be in the favor because they are playing as hosts at the Allianz Arena, Xabi should be able to overcome his first test of the season by trying hard so that Leverkusen don't drop points, I think the result might be a draw if Xabi can give direction to his team to play defensively and force a draw, but apart from that, Munich is still determined to get a win because that win will shift Leverkusen from the top of the standings.
The quick counterattack option is still possible for now, but they still have to be able to minimize Bayern's attacks, especially sporadic attacks on the wings.
Looking at the several matches that have taken place, Davies and Mazraoui are always active in assisting the attacks and they are always able to return to their positions well so this should be a warning that Bayern's attacks can be very dangerous for Leverkusen.
But looking at the statistics for the 3 matches, Leverkusen's defense is still quite good. Hopefully this match will be the same as their previous game.

As for Lewandowski's penalty goal, I think it was good luck because if they didn't get a penalty they could have won a draw in this match.
I don't get it too. Barcelona's performance was average even though the club has been making so many goal attempts but most of these chances are wasted. Xavi has not been solving the problem faced by lewandowski.
He had been making another complaint toward xavi's strategy at this moment. I must say barcelona's performance was not good or bad but it's enough or in average performance of barcelona.

Barcelona was winning the game through penalty, not from open play. I saw that if barcelona's performance was dropping compared with the previous match before that.
Actually, looking at Xavi's positioning and strategy, I think it would be better if he tried Ferran or Ansu as wingers and Gavi returned to his normal position.
Although they are still doing quite well in terms of results, but if you look at their intensity, especially in terms of goal productivity, I think this is indeed a problem for Barcelona.
Lewandowski is a forward waiting in the wings to finish, but he rarely gets a decent ball in matches with several opposing defenders marking him.

As always, great possession of the ball (71%) with only 4 shots on target. I continue to believe that all this comes from the coach and Xavi is trying to implement a scheme that has not been working for a long time. They got lucky yesterday, but that won't always happen, plus when we say that Barcelona got lucky against Osasuna, things are bad.
Judging by the way Lewandowski started the season modestly (and how often Bellingham scores), he does not shine to become a top scorer this season.
There's nothing wrong with their possession as their tiki taka is very troublesome but on the other hand we seem to be on the same page in this regard as Barcelona still have a lot of problems especially in attack at the moment.
Indeed, their attacking line and the chances they create are still fairly good but the final finishing is still bad if we compare their current condition with the record of goals in each match.
Even looking at the match against Osauna yesterday we can see in terms of opportunities Osasuna was a little better.

Lewandowski still hasn't rediscovered the form of his first season on the other hand, it seems Xavi still wants to make some experiments by continuing to try to exploit Gavi on the winger and wants to give Lamine Yamal a chance but I think it would be better to try to put Gavi in an ideal position and give Ansu time.

Tiki taka is outdated garbage because no one is going to fight for the ball anymore if the team focuses on ball control. It is enough to stand on the defensive and keep the zones closed. In essence, tiki taka is a bus + possession of the ball. If a team does not risk going on the attack for fear of losing the ball, then in modern conditions it will suffer from draws with outsiders and even defeats (due to counterattacks).
I agree because instead of trying to take the initiative to recover the ball against a club that plays tiki taka it is better to wait and strengthen the defense so their tiki taka cannot penetrate the box.
Things like this happen often now so that Barcelona's attack pattern is always readable because they have difficulty penetrating the defense and only play with ball possession.
A few seasons ago this might have been effective but now it seems difficult to use in multiple games continuously.

But yes, after all Bayer Leverkusen has basically improved very well from last season too
Leverkusen has improved there things already in the middle of the season or since Alonso was become the Coach there.
I would say that Leverkusen at the moment has for sure chances to can compete with Munich.
Xabi's presence made Leverkusen better and the reversal of performance last season when Leverkusen crumbled in the Seoane Era is proof that Xabi did his job well at Leverkusen.
Now the start of the season with 3 consecutive wins in the first 3 matches is actually possible for Leverkusen to be in a decent position and get better achievements than before.

I don't really understand why this match is so good for Barcelona.
Indeed they won with a score of 2-1 in this match but seeing the course of the match that occurred I did not feel that this was very good for Barcelona, it looks like they are still quite bad, especially in finishing problems.
Many chances were wasted, they also failed to anticipate the counterattack which if we look at the goal from Osasuna could not have happened especially with the tightness of the Barcelona players in the penalty box but they only tried to keep the defense not marking players because they waited more which made the return goal from Osasuna created with a hard kick from Avila.

As for Lewandowski's penalty goal, I think it was good luck because if they didn't get a penalty they could have won a draw in this match.
Regardless of the final result of the match, we can see that Barcelona's performance in this match was not that good and it was still the same as the previous match, the team's play was not well organized on all fronts.
Barcelona should be able to win easily over Osasuna, because the quality of the Barcelona team is better but in the match it's not the case, so I think it's only natural that many criticize Barcelona's performance, already in 2 consecutive matches Barcelona won with difficulty even there was a bit of luck factor there .
If the team's performance continues like this, I doubt they will be able to defend the title and compete fiercely in the UCL.

That is the point, looking at the performance that occurred at the start of this season (regardless of the final results in the matches that have been played) Barcelona are still unable to provide truly good dominance in their performance. Even though there is no need to doubt the tiki-taka that they apply, the quality of their attacks by trying out several young players in the attack line such as Gavi, who is starting to be placed in a different position and Lamine Yamal, who is starting to be trusted in the core squad while increasing his playing time, does not look good. Barcelona's goal productivity so far.

Talking about the Champions League, they currently have a condition that should be more confident compared to last season because currently they have an easy group and the chance of qualifying for the next phase is quite big in my opinion because their opponents in this group phase are under their control.

The fact that United, Newcastle and Chelsea all started terribly is a bad sign for them. The transfer window is closed as well which means that they can't just get a big name transfer, maybe a free agent is allowed but still, they are not getting anyone that can fix the situation. These teams spend os much money on transfers, how come they are doing this terribly? I mean its obvious that the transfers they made weren't as good and the players they had already aren't great neither. But the main question was, how could they spend this much and still not get anyone decent? That doesn't really seem like it would make sense, I would have expected them to do a lot better on transfers.
Frustrating!!
It's been a total disaster, and I must admit, I'm running out of patience. It looks like that Man United coach struggles to find quality players. Instead, they go for high-priced players who don't perform well. Sure, they might have a good striker, but there's a lack of effective support for him. The main issue here is the team's coordination. They consistently put themselves under pressure due to this.
I think in this case there needs to be a tolerance for Manchester United if you look at their current condition.
First Hojlund just debuted and Amrabat just came to Manchester United besides that Varane, Malacia, Luke Shaw and some of their core players are still hampered by injuries so the option of using now a defense that can be said to be rough makes me feel this also has an impact on performance.

It doesn't look too good but we also can't force Manchester United to perform well in a situation where some of their core players can't play well.
Although looking from last season Manchester United's performance can be said to be no difference for the start of the season but I think this will improve as time goes by and their players begin to return from recovery.
