381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Debate: Should Your Business Accept Bitcoin? on: January 12, 2024, 11:58:47 AM
I think this depends on many factors such as is bitcoin legal in your country? Do people in your area use bitcoin regularly?...You should learn, evaluate all relevant factors and make decisions for your business. If accepting bitcoin for businesses is beneficial, why would you ignore it?
After all, bitcoin is a currency and can be a means of payment, and adding more payment methods to businesses will benefit us, not harm us. Why do we ignore them?

There are some people complaining about accepting bitcoin for their business and it doesn't bring any benefits, but that doesn't mean it will happen to you, too. It's better to experience it yourself and don't listen to them. Just like many people lose money investing in bitcoin, but that doesn't mean everyone will fail like them, a lot of people are making a lot of money investing in bitcoin.

it is still very difficult for the price of bitcoin to touch the price of 100k dollars. even though this year entered the year of halving. if the price is getting higher, people will rarely use it for transactions because sending fees will also be more expensive. the dilemma of the crypto currency world is like this, the higher the price, the more people use it but the more it decreases because the sending fee is getting more expensive.

If you have experienced 1 or 2 bull seasons before, you will know that the bull season does not come immediately when the halving takes place, but it only comes after a period of time after the halving (usually 1 year after the halving). Then you wouldn't rush to expect bitcoin to hit $100K or reach a new ATH this year.

It might take weeks or months before the actual bull run is going to happen after the halving. But still we will have that feel that something is going to happen this year after the halving, we might break our last all time high of $69,000 this year but it doesn't mean that the bull run will stop. It might continue up to 2025 wherein as majority is expecting, a $100,000 is waiting for us.


If we rely on history, we can see that the most recent halving took place in 2020 and it will not be until 2021 that we truly enter the bull season. We don't really know exactly when the bull season will arrive, but based on history, it's clear that the bull season won't come immediately after the halving. Therefore, we should not be impatient and disappointed if the bulls do not arrive as we expected. I am optimistic about the market this year but for bitcoin to make a new ATH, I think 2025 would be more suitable, IMO.
383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website? on: January 11, 2024, 04:49:26 PM
When money is on the horizon, the concept of ethics often fades into the background. People are ready to do anything for money; including writing fake reviews and deleting scam accusation. When someone plans to make a context page it is hard to stay independent, hard to resist the lust of monetizing your website. I think in I can trust a gambling review site only if I am ready to lose some money doing casino test, as I can fully trust only myself and my experience.

As people start gambling for money, they may compromise the ethics of gambling review websites, which often leads to one-eyed reviews or gagging of red information.

So the only method to gather personal experience of betting is to know the process of gambling and be connected with any casino. other way you could know about betting process from any of your gambling friends. However, you will not find any gambling friends who will speak against gambling or show you negative aspects, lol.

So, in this case, you could trust betting review website or blog. But you have to be aware about review sites or blogs such as the affiliation system, does the site has its own blog/review system or not, and transparency, although you will find many positive and negative comments on review sites, it is also prominent to be cautious and aware of the site's function and purpose. The final thing is obviously personal experience is far better than trusting someone else experience from unknown gambling review websites. you will never know is those story true or false.

It was a great performance from Zverev and there are high hopes that if he keeps playing at this level, we will see him go further at the Australian Open, there is at least a week for him to recover as he didn't play in Adelaide or Auckland, and the MVP goes to Swiatek who was quite disappointed with Poland's loss in the final.
I can't agree that Zverev was playing his best tennis. Far from it actually. He's not very fit physically, he was short of breath literally after every rally. He almost lost to Hurkacz, the Pole had 2 match points but failed to use this opportunity.
Maybe you're right because that's what I also saw in his performance in the United Cup, but his efforts, especially in the mixed doubles match against Australia and also how the mixed doubles played in the final.

I will also definitely agree that he could have done better. And especially when I think about his age, which is only 26, I believe he should put on a better effort compared to what he is doing. He is like in the peak physical condition right now. Of course, if he is not injured. He should be performing literally like an animal. But I don't think we actually have seen that from him in recent times. Of course, some people are going to agree with me and some people are not going, but I think better performance is definitely expected from him.
385  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC ATH ~~~ on: January 10, 2024, 10:23:40 AM
That's the pattern. That's the 4-year cycle. So there's a reason to believe that the same might once again happen. However that is never an assurance. What happened in the past, even if a number of times already, therefore creating a pattern, might not happen again. So there is always another possibility of it not happening once again. But I think it will happen at least once more. I am almost certain that a new ATH will be reached within 2024 or early 2025.

We just continue hodling. What is certain is that the ATH which was reached way back in November of 2021 will never remain an ATH forever.

Yes, it's the pattern that hasn't been broken, so expect a bull run this year up to 2025, what could be the new all time high, anybody guess but I will speculate around $120k at least, conservative. Also, this has been discussed before, there are some pundits who think that we will see super cycles or bull runs in a different cycle, but so far that theory has been proven false already.

So just sit back and relax, we might be on for something big as this will be the first time that we might touch 6 digits. And also remember that we have the Bitcoin ETF's that has been taking the news as of late and this could really help the price to push to $100k at least.

A conservative prediction of $120,000 as a new all time high seems bullish. I'm not as bullish but I'm almost sure that $100,000 will be reached within this year or next year. But I agree with you that a bullish sentiment doesn't necessarily mean that the market will indeed turn like it. It happened in the past. There was a time everybody was wearing laser eyes because everybody was expected that $100,000 is about to come. It didn't.

But Bitcoin is best if your game is hodling and waiting.
To me, the $120k ATH target is a pretty conservative prediction for bitcoin this bull season. From events like the ETF, the world economy entering a post-crisis recovery phase, halving...all these events will create a super cycle for us and bitcoin could reach 180k-200k$ this time, IMO.
It can be said that the goal of 100k USD is a goal that we have been pursuing for many years and had high expectations during the 2021 bull season, but in the end, it did not happen. But for this bull season, $100k is a fairly modest target as bitcoin's most recent ATH was $69k.

Regarding the issue of transaction fees becoming expensive, it only happens with bitcoin and some other coins and not the entire cryptocurrency market. Many altcoins like solana or bnb still have quite cheap transaction fees. In addition, we have a solution to the high fee problem of bitcoin such as using the Lightning Network, or layer 2 for ETH.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich are still favorites to win the title. It is true that Leverkusen are still performing very well. The Leverkusen team has not yet faced defeat in any match. However, I have considerable doubts whether the Leverkusen team can maintain such a consistent performance until the end of the season. But Xabi Alonso is very hardworking. At the same time Leverkusen team is not dependent on any specific player. So the team is able to consistently perform well. Every player in the team tries their best from their position to perform well.

Bayern Munich are classically the favorite team to win the Bundesliga title but we all saw how much they suffered last season. The title was confirmed for Bayern Munich in the last game and after Dortmund ruined their record, they were almost the champion!
This season, Bayer Leverkusen took the place of Dortmund last year and they are even better right now. I think they could claim the first place until they will face Bayern Munich and at that time we will have a better look about the winner this season. It will be interesting to see another team getting this title after all Wink

What Xabi Alonso and his team have been doing in the Bundesliga is very extraordinary and unimaginable. He has beaten multiple records in the Bundesliga by being unbeaten for so long. But I would agree with @Iranus. Bayern Munich are still the favorites to win this title. There will be a time when Bayer Leverkusen will drop points Bayern Munich will get some points to get ahead of them. But I think the match that will have the most impact on this championship title race is the match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Whoever wins this match will get a good advantage, even if it is 1 point. I mean 1 point is a lot considering how the current race is going. Bayern Munich knows how to gain back their lead I believe.

The European league is different from the domestic league. European League teams faced come from other leagues that play outside their domestic league. Villarreal's bad situation in La Liga this season is that they are still ranked below the top 10, they still have a chance to change for the better in the second half so that finishing in the top 10 is still there even though last season they finished in 5th position.
We still don't know who Villarreal will face in the European League in the next round after winning Group F.

They can continue like Sevilla, for me not necessarily because the European League competition will be different from the La Liga competition. Every team playing in the European League will try to go all out.

Two seasons ago, Frankfurt was a very surprising team in the Europa League. They won the Europa League title even though they performed poorly in the Bundesliga. The same thing happened last season, Sevilla won the Europa League title despite a poor performance in La Liga. Maybe this season will be very different because there are many strong teams in the European League who will compete closely since the round of 16.

Atalanta, Villareal, Leverkusen and Liverpool are some of the favorite teams in the round of 16, but several teams such as Milan, Galatasaray and several others are also worthy of being favorites. There are 8 teams that will qualify for the round of 16 from the playoffs, so we are looking forward to that.

La Liga has not been the competition for Villarreal. They have only one win in the last 5 matches in La Liga. That is definitely not something to be proud of. But I also agree that the Europa League competition is far different compared to the La Liga competition. And so far they have shown good performance in the Europa League competition. They are the top team in the group that they are in right now.

So I have high hopes from them in the Europa League competition. They should at least get to the semi-finals in that Europa League. And I will actually say that they should just concentrate on trying to stay out of the relegations in La Liga and concentrating on the Europa League competition. That will probably be better for them in the long run.

I agree with you, even though Zimbabwe lost the match against Sri Lanka yesterday, Zimbabwe played very well as a weak side. Despite playing at Sri Lanka's home ground and being a strong team, they did not play well in comparison. All the teams always play well at their home ground but the Sri Lankan team had to work hard to win against a weak team like Zimbabwe at their home ground. And playing the balls of the bowlers of the Zimbabwean team, the players of the strong Sri Lankan team were quite disoriented. Ngaravar's bowling of Zimbabwe team was able to blow away the batsmen of Sri Lankan team with ease. Sri Lanka won by two wickets in the second ODI yesterday, it was not an easy win for Sri Lanka.

Rather than any improvement from Zimbabwe, it just points to decline in overall performance from Sri Lanka. And they have been performing pathetically in ODI cricket recently. Remember the Asia Cup final? They got bowled out for just 50 runs against India. And then in the ODI World Cup of 2023, they got bowled out for just 55 runs against the same opposition and then lost the match by a massive 302 runs. Now they are struggling against Zimbabwe. Something is really wrong with Sri Lanka cricket. I am not very hopeful for their long-term future.

I agree with you. Zimbabwe is not that good of a team as an opponent. They have been performing very badly and they even failed to qualify from the African region in the T20 World Cup where the teams are not that good. It is very disappointing for Zimbabwe if you ask me. And now Sri Lanka are playing against them and the match which was finished went so close. The performance has been in decline for Sri Lanka. I don't think they can do much in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

I think they are wasting their time playing with Zimbabwe though. They need to find better opponents to challenge themselves. Because any team other than Zimbabwe would have won the matches if they were to perform like that.

I think Roma management assessing Mourinho's performance with current squad, if he demands more players, Roma will not extend his contract even if they achieve something. Roma is not able to get big signings due to their financial capacity, and they want Mourinho to understand that. It allows the club to evaluate the impact of Mourinho's strategies and coaching style on the team's performance over the course of the season.

The financial constraints and the difficulty in fulfilling all of Mourinho's transfer wishes emphasize the practical challenges clubs often face in the transfer market. It's also a recognition that building team cohesion and integrating new players mid-season can be challenging. Winning the Europa League is surely a priority for Mourinho this season. Success in European competitions could be a significant achievement for Roma, and Mourinho's experience in navigating these stages is certainly an asset.
For now, I don't classified AS Roma as an elite club because they have been failing to reach the require points to enter the UEFA Champions League competition. AS Roma was doing terribly poor in performance but since thr appointment of José Mourinho as headcoach, they have changed all round. Mourinho is an experience coach and he knows the basic steps to take inother to equipped his players, never backing down but striving harder than any other person in the team, he needs to build good reputations. José Mourinho can not leave AS Roma currently because he's a piece of master planner for the club and have done alot.

Jose Mourinho might still keep his job. I mean he bought Roma a trophy in the season he took the job. He is doing alright. It is just that this season his players have been injured. Some of his key players such as Lukakau and Dybala have been injured. And due to the injury, it is looking like that they are not doing well. But I think they still can qualify for the Europa League. They are also doing very well in the Uefa Europa League. They have a fair chance of winning it as well.

But Mourinho might need to sign a few players this season to achieve it as well because injuries are definitely holding them back.
But the question is whether the Roma board is satisfied with the current results!!
391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 08, 2024, 06:45:27 PM

Ok that is quite optimistic because I think that no team so far has ever won the treble twice in a row. Solely based on statistics I think that this statement is doomed to turn out to be wrong, but for as long as Manchester City is around and in the position to win all of the titles, there is nothing that speaks against them doing it. Whether they will, I don't know. But we can see that the competition in the Premier League has become incredibly tough and in the Champions League, there are a couple of clubs that I think are on the same level as Manchester City. Definitely Real Madrid I think.
Yeah mate my statement is just based on speculations and assumptions and nothing more than that,  because we have already multiple factors that may prevent that occurrence from happening and as the season goes going more or more limits may be placed on Manchester City that will prevent them from achieving that records of maintaining that position for multiple of time.

But also we can't outrightly write them off either since at the moment,  Manchester City is the defending champion and is more likely perceived as the closest club to the title since they hold the title currently.

I think Manchester City's situation looks kind of relaxing right now because Arsenal messed up a few games. They dropped points in the last 3 matches.  Drew against Liverpool which I think was an alright result but they lost the next 2 games against Fulham and West Ham which is unacceptable. But that has done good things for Manchester City because they are already ahead of them without even having to put in an effort. Salah of Liverpool is also leaving for AFCON for the upcoming few matches and they have a good chance of dropping the points. So, Manchester can be sitting relaxed right now. Aston Villa won’t be much of a problem I believe.

Manchester City's key players are also back. KDB made his comeback 2 matches ago, Haaland is looking to start the next match and Rodri also made a comeback from the injury a few games ago. So I think they are clear right now from the injuries of their major key players. All they have to do right now and go and win the games which will be easy if they don't face any more injuries.

Xabi Alonso has proven he's ready to contend Bayern Munich and possibly end their dominance and possibly win the league title this season and not only is Leverkusen trying to displace Bayern Munich but other teams such as Stuttgart are also looking forward to topping the table and win the league too aswell.

Bayern Munich has got a really experienced coach and so Leverkusen should be weary of not loosing a point because if they do at this point Bayern Munich will stop at nothing to getting back at the top of the table and reclaiming back their dominance in the Bundesliga this season which I'm sure is one of their greatest wishes this season. If Bayern Munich wins their next match, they will be a point behind Leverkusen as they are currently four points behind and if Leverkusen is able to win their next match, they will be able to maintaining the margin between the.and Bayern Munich only that Munich is still goals ahead.
The German Bundesliga this season have been more competitive than it's been in the past eleven years thanks to Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen impressive performance and just like many other football lovers across the globe who very happy with the development in the German league, I'm also very happy that Bayern Munich is finally facing a strong contention from a strong and determined team on who will finish the season with the German Bundesliga title.

Thomas Tuchel without doubt is a very experienced manager who have the needed managerial experience and abilities to help Bayern Munich overtake the current league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the race for the league but Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso have also shown strong signs on why he should also be feared and have proven already that he's ready to match whichever energy that's presented to him by Bayern Munich this season. Considering the the kind of hardwork and energy that Leverkusen have put in this season, I'll be disappointed if they don't end up with the league title

What Xabi Alonso and his team are doing is very extraordinary. They are making Bayern Munich look like they are having a bad season but where Bayern Munich is also having a very good season as well. The title race is getting very tight and I think the match that would have the most impact on the title race is the match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen mid february.

The German people are getting to see a very exciting season after a long time. As a neutral fan as well, it has been very enjoyable to see the German league. Bayer Leverkusen may even win the Europa League but their biggest hurdle will be Liverpool. But the way they are performing now, they might even beat Liverpool.

Girona will gets easy opponent this weekend that they will playing at Almeria home ground and in Laliga i have to says Almeria's chance to stay in Laliga is completely closed this because among all teams in this league only Almeria who still struggle to gets their first winning this season and with collect 5 points from 19 matches i think it's impossible for Almeria to bounce back and survive in Laliga so obviously at the end of season Almeria will return to segunda division

We all know Girona was in the good shape because they almost gets the winning results for each matches and they also has successfully to beat several strong teams this season and the latest is Girona can win from Atletico Madrid so beating Almeria should't be a big problem for them and if we see based on head to head statistics Girona can able to beat Almeria with big scores several times and from this match too i am quite confident Girona can win with 2 goals margin or more besides that Almeria defense also very weak because so far they have already conceded 43 goals in Laliga
If Girona's performance can remain as it was in the previous match, then we can predict Girona's victory in that match. Almeria will definitely have great difficulty in this match even though they are the hosts of the match. Because Girona this season has really become a different club to the previous season. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have even suffered defeats against Girona. So it feels like Almeria will even have difficulty achieving a draw. Girona will most likely score more than 2 goals in this match.

Seeing Almeria this season is a little sad. In fact, they have never gotten full points this season. This is different from Girona, which has an good record this season. And only had 1 defeat in 19 matches this season. Girona's record even matches Real Madrid's record this season.


The last team in the points table is Almeria. I don't see any chance of Girona dropping points in this match unless Girona are very unlucky. Girona won 4-3 against Atletico Madrid in the last match of La Liga. In the last match, Elche team also beat Girona 2-0. Although the match against Almeria is Girona's away match, Girona team is the favorite in this match.

Girona have played very well since the start of the season. And now the team is second in the table with equal points with Real Madrid. They scored 46 goals in 19 matches. Girona also has the potential to win by a big margin against Almeria. I think Girona will win by at least 2 goals.

India W VS Australia W 2nd T-20

The second match of the T20 series between India Women vs Australia Women will be played today. India Women were whitewashed in the ODI series, but won the first match of the T20 series with a brilliant performance. Australia Women were all out for 141 in the first T20I. India Women won by a huge margin of 9 wickets. Today also we will see good performance from India women. Today is a very important match for Australia women, they need to win today to level the series. If India women win today, they will win the series. It is not possible to tell which team will win today. Let's see which team can win today. Which team do you think will win?
In the second T20 match between India Women's team vs Australia Women's team, Australia team will bowl first and India Women's team will have to bat very carefully. We saw responsible batting in India Women's first T20 match. India Women's team won by nine wickets against Australia Women's team due to responsible batting in the first T20 match of India Women's team. If India Women's team wants to continue their winning streak then they need to bat responsibly in the second T20I otherwise they will not win the second T20I. Because in today's match Australia will try to give their best performance as they lost in the first match Australia will want to start with win today's match. Let's see how many runs Australia can stop India women's team in the end.
In the second match, the Australian women's team definitely needed to win against the Indian women's team and the Australian women's team won. After winning the first match of the three-match T20 series, India was ahead in this series, so if they did not win the third match, Team India would have won the series with one match in hand, but in the second match, Australia women's team was able to give their best. Seeing that they were able to play with their best in the second match, the third match was confirmed as the final match for both teams. If India wins the last match India will win the series if Australia wins then Australia will win the series both teams are likely to win the series.

After a poor performance in the ODI series I thought the India women's team would perform as usual in the T20 series. But the two Indian openers batted brilliantly in the first T20 match. So they easily won against Australia women team. That is why we had high expectations from the Indian batsmen in the second match. But they cannot maintain continuity. India women's team was given a target of only 131 runs. Even then, if the bowlers could bowl well, India might have won. But the Indian bowlers can't do well either. The last match is likely to be a competitive one. But the performance of India women's team is very erratic. That's why nothing can be said for sure.

Actually PSV is not really difficult opponent team for Dortmund on 16 round of Champion League depend have to face top teams from La Liga, Premier League or Serie A. Current standings, PSV lead top position awhile and have most impressive performance in domestic league with 16 won of 16 matches and not get loss or draw yet. But Eredivisie not really compete such as Bundesliga have many top teams with Dortmund can improving their performance get chance qualify to quarter final.
PSV group phase in Champion League not really difficult than Dortmund success eliminated AC Milan and defeat PSG to lead top position standings, I think Dortmund have bigger chance qualify to next round than PSV.
Borussia Dortmund is a big club that often plays in the Champions League, but I'm still wondering whether their goal is to become champions or not. Yes, realistically we would definitely say which club doesn't want to be champion, but what Borussia Dortmund still often does is contrary to the principle of clubs wanting the title. When other clubs bring in star and quality players, they actually sell those players, and they do this not just once or twice, but they do it almost every season.
Yes, maybe Borussia Dortmund's level is still above PSV, but my doubts still linger when I see Borussia Dortmund. Even if they can get past this round, I'm not sure they will get past the next round. I don't mean to demean Borussia Dortmund, but they themselves forced me to think like that.
Indeed, Borussia Dortmund's experience in the UCL league is no longer in doubt, they have participated in the UCL league every year, even though they did not become UCL champions, they often trouble the big teams. In fact, this season they managed to advance to the last 16 from the hell group.

But even so, Borussia Dortmund should not underestimate PSV in the first leg of the round of 16, especially since the first leg will be played at PSV's home ground, of course this will be a motivation for them to beat Borussia Dortmund in front of their own supporters. Apart from that, PSV this season has appeared very impressive in the domestic league, so far they have not been defeated, of course this will make it difficult for Borussia Dortmund to win in the first leg. So my prediction is that the first leg of PSV vs Borussia Dortmund will end in a draw.

I don't think PSV will actually be that much of a problem for Dortmund. The problems will be coming after they pass the Round of 16. Sure, PSV has beaten some good teams to get in the playoffs but Dortmund was in the group of death in my opinion. They topped a group where everyone thought they would be the bottom team. In their group, there were AC Milan, PSG and Newcastle. Newcastle performed very well in the last season in the Premier League but this season they are underperforming. But PSG and AC Milan are no joke. And they beat both of them to become the table topper.

India Women's team was not in good batting form today as India Women's team was under a lot of pressure at the end as 4 wickets fell in the power play. India women's team mustered only 130 runs in the second T20I, a small target for Australia women's team. If the Australia women's team can defend the wicket and stay on the field till the end then there is definitely a chance to win. Australia team's batting line is very strong, Mooney scored 20 runs off 28 balls in today's match. And if it survives then there is definitely a chance to do a half century.

Australia has lost two quick wickets and now they are on backfoot. The openers, Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney got out in quick succession, with both of them getting out to the bowling of Deepti Sharma. But the advantage for Australia is that they have a very experienced middle order. Tahlia McGrath and Ellyse Perry are at the crease now, and Ashleigh Gardner, Phoebe Litchfield and Grace Harris are yet to come. And for India, their chances will depend on how well the bowlers like Shreyanka Patil and Amanjot Kaur can backup Deepti Sharma.

Australia made a good comeback after getting dominated in the first T20. Ellyse Perry actually played a really good innings and she scored 34 runs in 21 balls which is a very good strike rate. I think India's batting was what let them down. Their bowling was alright. But if the score was let's say 20 more runs, then they could have defended the total. I think the Indian batters need to increase their strike rate to solve their issue.

The series is level now and the last t20 will be on 9th January. India won the Test series, Australia won the ODI series and it all comes down to the last T20. That is going to be very exciting.

Beşiktaş team's situation is very shaky now. This team is not playing well consistently. In the last 5 matches, this team has won only one match. And lost in 3 matches. Despite winning 2-1 against Hatayspor, Beşiktaş lost 3-1 against Kasimpasa. Beşiktaş also failed to show dominance in their home matches.

Beşiktaş played well in the first half against Kasimpasa. Despite conceding a goal in the 41st minute, they managed to end the first half at 1-1. But Kasimpasa's striker Nuno Da Costa's great performance saw Beşiktaş defeated. Nuno da Costa scored a hat trick in this match. After scoring one goal in the first half, he scored two more goals in the 80th and 83rd minutes of the second half. Kasimpasa got a fantastic win at Beşiktaş's ground.
The team is conceding simple goals. There is a loss of concentration. They are playing as if there is no goal left in the league. There's a ramble because the new manager hasn't arrived. Aside from the high number of missing players in the squad, the players who are on the pitch are not giving the performance they should. There was no break in the league to solve these problems. The new manager should come as soon as possible and new transfers should be made. There is also a numerical deficiency in the team. There is nothing acceptable about today's defeat. Beşiktaş was a team that beat Kasımpaşa even in their worst times. Today's defeat wasn't befitting.

I agree with you. In the past we have seen that Beşiktaş team played well and won against Kasimpasa even though their squad was not strong enough. But this season Beşiktaş lost 3-1. And it was their home match. Beşiktaş players can't perform well even in home matches.

Beşiktaş now needs to strengthen the squad a bit more. They have no chance of winning the title this season. But they should target the title next season. Experienced coaches should be hired before the winter transfer window and funds should be prepared to add talented players to the squad. Then maybe we can see a better performance from Beşiktaş next season.

The team does not need many star players in the squad for a good performance. We have seen proof of this several times. The Chelsea team won the Champions League title a few years ago. They did not have many star players in their squad. Leverkusen are still unbeaten in the Bundesliga and Europa League this season. This team also has no star players in its squad.

PSG had many star players in their squad, but their coach was not good. There was no friendly relationship between the players in the squad. PSG team cannot do well in Champions League due to lack of friendly relationship between players and lack of understanding between players. But now PSG has an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. Now, if PSG's squad was as strong in attack as before, PSG would have been able to dominate the Champions League.
PSG have some qualities and so I wonder why they’re bent on building their team on one man who’s clearly wanting to leave. Now his departure is lurking around, they must try so hard to either learn to play without him or they suffer a while and them having the latter choice will be so devastating for the fans. Football requires 11 players, not one player and they’ve got some good talents on the pitch with them who can do wonders locally and in Europe.

 All that’s needed are development of these players and also get few more signings to make this team gel and try to blend well then boom they can get you trophies instead of relying on an individual which when he doesn’t play well, the whole team suffers. If they're to build their team around him then he should be willing to remain in the team and help them pass through thick and thins to get better, if not there's no point depending on him.

It is true that the PSG team is dependent on Mbappe. But no matter which team Mbappe goes to, it's only natural that the team will be somewhat reliant on him. Because he has the ability to score a lot of goals. And it is not easy to fill this void when he is suddenly gone. But coach Luis Enrique is quite experienced. If Mbappe leaves, he will surely find a worthy replacement for Mbappe. PSG does not have a financial crisis. The management is ready to pay big funds to Luis Enrique. So Enrique doesn't seem to have too much trouble finding a suitable replacement for Ronaldo. Vlahovic, Osimhen and Haaland are being considered as Mbappe's replacements. I think these three players are one we will see in PSG's squad next season.

You are too demeaning to MLS by saying that no one watches the competition there, maybe the level of enthusiasm of football fans is not like in the top European leagues, but you need to know that every team always has fans who are always loyal to watch the matches played by their favorite team. Moving to MLM is not a bad choice for Giroud, especially since he is 37 years old.

They are professional players, there is no discrimination in the team, every player will always work together for the same goal. Giroud's position as a pure striker will make it easier to finish with experienced teammates, he can have fun at the end of his career with world class players.
It could be said that there are quite a lot of spectators for the MLS League, it's just that the level of enthusiasm for this league is different from other top European leagues. For me, the question is not a loss or not, but whether there is an opportunity for Giroud other than joining the team there, because without an opportunity there may not be a more interesting discussion other than accepting the offer. It was said that Cristiano Ronaldo was quite crazy when he decided to join the Saudi Arabian League, but now we can see the effect of his arrival in the league. Although perhaps Giroud does not have the ability to influence the world of football like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giroud is no longer young and maybe if he has the opportunity he should join the Saudi Arabian League. It cannot be denied that discrimination still exists in football, but because the league rules are strict, the players are quite protected. Giroud is just waiting for the rest of his career at this age and I think the choice to play in the MLM league is not too bad.

Bro, they are professional players and they do things professionally. Giroud won't be discriminated against of course. Have you seen how Messi and Ramos interacted with each other after Ramos joined PSG? They talked with each other like nothing had happened between them. This is what we call professionalism. As for Giroud joining MLS, I don't think it is a wrong decision.

MLS is like a pre-retirement club and Giroud has done enough in his career. So I think he should join MLS and I can tell you he would not be discriminated against.
