Honestly I was expecting Manchester City to win this Community Shield title one way or another. I waited for a good competition at the beginning of the season of course. Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.
Pep Guardiola losing to his former boy, Mikel Arteta for the very first time, more like celebrating their victory. No one expected the winning outcome of Arsenal, they all thought as usual, Arsenal will struggle until they conceded and give up, but reversed was the whole scenario, they fight back and claimed their triumphed in the final. Manchester losing to Arsenal on penalty shootouts doesn't bother me, what baffles me is that, the gunners have the strength to hold city down full time draw. That implies that Arsenal are not holding back, they put in everything they got, and deserved the trophy.

This is just an appetizer of what they see for next season, things are getting hot, and I think everyone expects a lot from City and look, here Arsenal knows that things can get better whenever they want. Personally, I like the tpnonica in how it is taking place in the PL, if this is the case in the PL, I can't imagine how the level can be set in the UCL, since that is where they most expect things to be get very intense, what I think about this is that everything is possible, not only for Arsenal who is showing what they are made of, but for all the PL teams, which I see as a good omen for all of them Here, no team wants to give up anything to anyone, the points will be very close, and at the level they should always be.

In the case of the PL teams, I would always like to be careful with a team that shows Pep, because he is a very calculating coach, he looks and has a very broad vision of the game and I think that in almost every game he reads them just as they could be.

Man City update emerges on Joao Cancelo future at the Etihad



Quote
Having already allowed Riyad Mahrez to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli in a £30million deal, Citizens boss Pep Guardiola could sanction further big-name departures ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
Man City transfer news - Joao Cancelo

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Cancelo is eager to seal a switch to Barcelona and has already agreed personal terms with the La Liga giants.

The Italian journalist suggests head coach Xavi has been keen to sign the right-back, who has been on Manchester City's books since making the £60million move from Juventus four years ago, since January and talks are ongoing over the structure of a potential deal.

Cancelo ended up joining Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich during the winter window instead, but he has returned to the Etihad Stadium after they opted against taking advantage of the £61million option to make his loan move permanent.

And well things can change drastically for the players, in this case Joao Cancelo wants to leave, it's not bad, it's his decision and when they go against a Pep, it's better to leave.

There is some shocking news about Real Madrid and Arda Guler, we know Barcelona wanted to hire this player and he was the target for Barcelona even before Real Madrid but it seems there are some secrets about this player. Since Real Madrid wanted to somehow hire this player they even knew Arda Guler is injured and they were aware of his situation also Fenerbahce knew everything about him and that's why Arda Guler couldn't play any games yet because he was injured even for joining Real Madrid.

https://i.postimg.cc/CLBj9MXc/i4dcestt.jpg

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/08/03/fenerbahce-and-arda-guler-knew-about-meniscus-injury-before-real-madrid-move-report

Sad news for him and Real Madrid but this news is shocking. If Fenerbahçe medicals really suggested a surgery and he played like that, I wonder how didn't Real Madrid medicals know this problem? How did he pass fitness tests? I'm confused as I read the article. Surely something is missing in this story. Real paid a big price for a young player and now he's facing against a big injury that may cost him his career.

Well, we all know the rivalry that exists between Madrid and Barcelona, but I don't think this is so important and just to reach the player and take it away, what I consider is that the player perhaps did not know the magnitude of what he had, the Neither did Madrid, only the doctors, but it seems unethical to me that they have not given this information, not because of the money they received for the player, which was a lot, but because of his health. He must play with the health of a person, and less so with that of such a young and promising player, perhaps what happened is that the player was brought in to play, and the injury took a stronger course with a medical complexity of another level, but thanks to the degree of stress that the jguaor underwent when playing, that could also have happened, I don't think the doctors had such bad intentions.

Real Madrid Boss Provides Arda Guler Injury Update


Quote
Ancelotti added that Güler has already completed the first phase of his recovery and his knee responded well. “I think he will miss around a month,” the Italian boss said.

Previously, it was expected that Güler would spend about two months on the sidelines.

However, the positive news from his recovery so far suggests that he could return to action sooner than expected.

Güler is yet to make his Real Madrid debut, but he has been highly rated by the club’s coaching staff.

He is considered to be a very talented player with a bright future ahead of him.

Source: https://turkish-football.com/real-madrid-boss-provides-arda-guler-injury-update/

Well, I think that this update leaves everyone a little calmer, the maximum that the player can stay in bed or rest will be 1 month, the injury does not look that serious, I don't think it will cost the player his career, this guy of injuries are very common in football, the good thing is that here the doctors have a very good vision and I think that things can go very well forward.

The fact that you have to wait 1 month is not a bad thing, it is something significant, it is 1 month that you will be very delicate with the care, therapies, the important thing is that you have reacted well, that is already quite encouraging, I hope you can recover sooner, not so that he is 100% with Madrid, but so that the player is in good health, I think that first of all, we are human and that the fact that he gets better quickly causes joy.


I think Dembele and Ferran Torres are really lacking if they are made as an option to replace a pure striker like Lewandowski because both of them have pure winger positions and Barcelona really should try to bring in a striker to cover for Lewandowski who also has a tall stature and a pretty good finish. If Barcelona still have to wait for Victor Roque until next year, of course that's long enough, they have to look for him now, whether he's a striker on a free agent or can borrow him first for a season. There are still many ways that Barcelona can do to get a pure striker and of course there are also many players out there who want to join a big team like Barcelona.

waiting for Victor Roque next year is not difficult for Barcelona. I'm sure Xavi can come up with a strategy with the formations used even with the existing players. Lewandowsky is indeed very important on the Barcelona front line. but I still believe that if Xavi lets Lewandowsky rest, Xavi can still use other options. Ferran Torres cannot be a replacement for Lewandowsky. but it looks like Xavi will have a special formation that makes him comfortable playing.
I just checked the Barcelona squad list and it's true that there are no pure strikers other than Lewandowski. I don't know what Xavi was thinking with not a single back-up for their striker position. Moreover, next season's competition is getting fiercer and they should be able to prepare things that will make it easier to win. The only way if Lewandowski is later sidelined due to injury or a card penalty is to change his formation to 4-4-2 by plotting Ansu Fatti and Ferran Torres in the attacking positions. I think that formation makes a lot more sense and would be easier to do with the depth of Barcelona's current squad.

Xavi can put the formation he wants, it doesn't matter. What is relevant here is that he is leaving Lewa as the only striker, and that is quite a strong job for the player, and considering that he is not 20 years old, since he is not the same speed, here he has a great Opportunity , so they Should sign Neymar is a player who can do well, he can take a game forward, this player has also matured a lot, he has had to send his man to Brazil many times, and that says a lot, not everyone does that with a Team of so many renown, so the things that can be done with these two men up front are many, because Lewa is not of the Same attitude as Mbappé , so if that is why , they could get Along very Well.

I know since we saw Neymar playing for PSG in this season there is not much chance to see him leaving PSG for another team and he seems happy in PSG even after his friend Messi left this team but still, according to some resources, Neymar is close to leave PSG for Barcelona and return to this team for another time. The last time when Messi left PSG for Inter Milan Sheikh Mabkhout Al-Marri is a journalist and was the first person who announced this and now he said Neymar is going to join Barcelona.



https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2023/08/05/fc-barcelona-signing-neymar-from-psg-looks-probable-because-of-these--strange-nuances/
PSG's dominance in Ligue One has continued, and it will continue as there is no apparent pre-eminent opponent for the league title. Leo Messi is the first to leave the club, followed by other important players. It is essential that PSG begin casting their nets to catch several fish this summer, signing more players for a variety of reasons. Neymar Jr is on the verge of leaving the club; he's a major star at Parc des Princes, and his presence is extremely important to the club. Luis Enrique, the new manager, would be happy to include Neymar Jr in his plans for the coming season.

In Reality , for me Neymar is a player who will always shine for me , no matter what team he is in, if he Stays at PSG, which I would like because I know that there he does not have the pressure of a League where if you have many injuries, you no longer you serve , because this is a double-edged sword for the player due to his ankle injury that is so difficult to heal, however the player has always revealed himself to be one of the best, they are what I call the most legendary .

Now PSG has a different color , now without Mbappé, and seeing that his situation is so particular, because he is obviously very partial only towards Real Madrid , he no longer wantsAnything with PSG, which I consider to be something that has been marking him a lot. , PSG has to be comfortable with what it has, there is a new coach, new strategies , there is a lot of speculation and there is much to show in the team.



Quote
Barcelona have been very active in the transfer market so far this summer, and they will continue to be so in the next few weeks, once Ousmane Dembele’s move to Paris Saint-Germain is finally completed.

They are looking into signing a new right-back, with a creative midfielder also being on the agenda. Neymar Junior, who looks to be on his way out at PSG, falls into neither category, but could still end up at Barcelona.

Source: https://www.football-espana.net/2023/08/06/journalist-claims-that-neymar-junior-will-return-to-barcelona-this-summer

The problem basically for Ney to return to Barcelona is basically Xavi, because if he sees that he doesn't fit in then they won't bring him, I think that Xavi is playing it here, he is trusting Lewa a lot, and that is not good, because we don't know if in During the course of La Liga or the UCL, the player is injured and you cannot be at 100%&, so who is going to replace him? If they have a Ney to have the safest attack option is something else, considering that the Brazilian is very good, it is easy to know that things can work wonderfully here with Ney+Lewa, that combination would be very deadly for any team.

Now considering that Neymar wants to return to Barcelona, well it doesn't seem right to me, it has been proven that players who return to their old teams do not adapt well to the team rejecting them or in particular end up having more problems with their coaches and that makes things worse. do not flow and become one more problem for the club.

I respect Xavi's decision if he does not want to accept him at his club, but he is a star player, he is a legend and Barcelona needs to do something now to ensure victories, I would not think about it, I would have him in my team and count on him for everything time.

There are many rumors about new decisions in the government of America and some people think Joe Biden is going to make some changes in the government of America and the steps to get the visa and make it easier for people in all over the world to take via for America but the fact about taking visa is it's not the same for all people in different countries because for countries that's easier and for some other countries with bad a relation shop with America this will be harder.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/16/us/visa-process-united-states.html



Yeah but you can't really compare general population data of visas denied with visas for the world cup.

On the other hand it could clearly be an excuse, so they might get a bit paranoid, and deny visas from African fans.

Here I consider something, at the moment that people buy the tickets to the world, those people have to be assigned a visa immediately, according to the number of tickets that the people buy, because it is something that has to be like that, I think that in A World Cup should not have or exist borders for anyone, neither for Africans nor for people who come from other places that other countries consider prohibited or prohibited, because that does not make sense to me, and even less because it comes from decisions of world wars or something like that, I think that the existence of borders is something that should not exist, because we are all humans, or at least until now things with the aliens have not yet been released to the public to know how it is.

As long as there is only one race, which is human , that should not exist, Unless a world War is created and all the countries of the world participate to remove that beto , the truth is that for me it does not make sense, then in Such a glass a visa to go see the world is not bad , I Consider that a person who eats enters to go to the World Cup, should be granted from at least 5 days before the start of the World Cup and that it expires 5 days after the World Cup ends I believe that this is the most appropriate , and for any person without exception, wherever they come from and those who remain in the country illegally , as this is very difficult to Control, but that is what the authorities are for and I believe that this is not so hard for them to grab people and throw them away.

I know that any method that is going to be applied by the USA so that they can enter the country will be used, that is something that can and will happen, people who want to enter the USA will only have to get a ticket for a soccer match, I don't know if they will give visas for a certain time, or how it will be, if it is for a permit for 1 month or something like that, what is difficult to determine is how many people are going to stay in the country Illegally , that is what is difficult Easy to determine , I don't know how they will do it , but it's quite a Challenge Really.
3825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: August 07, 2023, 03:46:18 AM

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?

Gambling is not a source of income, you are delusional if you think it is, yes you can win a couple of times but you cannot keep up and continue your winning, the house always has the edge if you keep holding on to this belief that gambling can provide your financial need you are in big trouble.
Know your limitation and the fact about gambling and hold on to these beliefs, don't go on your boundary stay with it and you will be fine all your life.




It is very good Advice, and the truth is that I also think that putting things to the limit when it comes to things related to money, you have to think about it very carefully, because in a casino things can go well, but suddenly if a bad streak comes There is Nothing to do there but Resignation and acceptance , that's why not going to the market in the bets is only better , normally the Majority of people in the world who play in a traditional casino or an online casino, all have a capacity of economy to a medium degree, very few are those who have a large amount of money to spend in the casino without Affecting their lives.

When a person has a lot of capacity to spend money in a casino, things can be green from another point of view, because they are people who don't know how to spend their money and well, they don't mind putting their money in a casino and continuing or trying their luck because they can have fun. .

We, as players, are sometimes of a low-medium style because we always adjust to what we have to learn many things, strategists to be able to play , because we have to pay up our money, that is the law, while a millionaire Person sometimes plays just to play, without Paying attention to it or at least getting excited, that is what you are looking for, that the person seeks to have a pleasant time, that they feel the desire to bet, to lose, to win , Everything is valid, but do it with great moderation because things If they don't get out of control, I think that's where everything should come from , from Tranquility and control.

I wish we Could always have that possibility of saying, my Profit limit every day is this "xx" any number that is very High, but it is not so, we or at least I do not Have that Defined rate , Because I have learned The slightest profit for me is a big victory , and that is to be profitable, the Same applies to trading , before I was not satisfied with Small profits , it seemed to me that I was wasting time , but I Prefer that way and not Lose Money.
3826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: August 07, 2023, 03:21:39 AM
I haven't been threatened because my gambling addiction isn't severe and I won't let myself go that far. Simply because I've been gambling for so long, I know how it works, and going too far won't help. So going to the point where a threat will come from individuals close to me will not happen.
Well, I think you have said all the consequences of when an assignment is acquired, and if you are right they can be like that, in my very personal opinion I am a player who controls very well what is destined to play and lose in a casino For me , if the money that I have destined to use in the casino runs out because I lost it, I will stay away, I will not start inventing more edpepostitar because I will be going against my own rules and that is something that I never want us to be able to and should not do neither in the game nor in the trade.

Now, if a person who has spent their money in the casino and decides to take a loan, it is because that person has the ability to pay in case they lose, whether it be with jewelry, gold, cars, whatever, it is their decision. of the person, now if the person has nothing or capciada of payment, it is a very bad decision to have taken a loan and secondly things should not be done like this because a person who is of legal age and completely of legal age does not have to recriminate nothing, because it was under his decision that they gave him that credit or loan.

In particular, I am a person who would never take a loan to play in a casino. It seems to me the dumbest way to spend money, because it is very difficult to earn with that pressure that the money is lent, I must also emphasize that things are not how people always imagine them, when you take a loan there is the hope of earning the most money, to repay the loan and make a profit, or worse, to go after what you already spent to see if it can be recovered.

I am one of those who think that when there is a lot to spend in a casino, other types of things can be done, but less for a loan because I consider that a loan in a casino is not as necessary as for other things that are necessary, it is In other words, for things that must be paid for health, or emergencies, of course it is my criteria, I don't see any other, but there are some who give priority to casinos and that is respectable, everyone has their criteria.
3827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: August 07, 2023, 03:01:58 AM
everyone often talks about how to win at gambling, but very few talk about a healthy mindset, even though it is one of the important factors not to go bankrupt when gambling. with a healthy mindset it will definitely keep someone from bankruptcy and can make them successful in gambling or various things in their life. with a healthy mindset, a person can manage their finances better and they can use that to build a business or investment that can bring them more money.

that's why a healthy mindset is very necessary for gamblers so that they can still gamble, but not fixated on it, they can still manage their finances and make it to increase their wealth and they can also control their emotions and not gamble excessively which can ruined their financial condition.

It's way easier to talk about it and discuss these things though it isn't something that can be developed in a matter of a few months. It's a hard thing to accomplish given how humans are susceptible to changing their mind about something that doesn't fulfill their desires or what their mind wants to have. Especially in gambling - most of us would think that since we already won a big amount, we can easily replicate it and just take the stacks whenever we can while in reality, it's something that only occurs to us once in a blue moon. Or if ever someone won something consecutively, it'll only last for a few instances before their lack runs out.

What happens with all this is that there are people who do not like to talk about a healthy mentality, or a healthy mind to play in a casino personally, it is something super important to be able to perform in casinos, bet on sports and I believe in any activity that is done in the world, it is true, when talking about games, there is always someone who talks about these strategies, about many things, but if your mind is not healthy I think that things do not turn out very well, and that It's what I know needs to improve, many times a person feels bad and that represses him inside, and that feeling stays there, even though something sounds so tonal, it stays there in our minds like something we can't let go of. and discard so that it does not occupy or make a cloudiness in our brain.

We as gamers, before being gamers we are human, and being human we are too weak in many aspects, and in this case it is very difficult for someone to expose their weaknesses, or not have a sane mind because they can easily mark you as someone weird, or someone who is out of control at some point we have all tried to lose our minds for whatever reason and that can be controlled we are human but we must overcome whatever comes our way because these facts for us then seeing seven types of things or shortcomings in a person, what we should do is quickly help with advice, telling them what is best for that person and not judging, it is normal for some of us to have many problems and we all have their Problems However they can.

A healthy mentality is only achieved when there is prior planning, I am one of those who considers that when you play in a casino you should plan and manage money risks, because the money that is risked in the casino is that , something that can be lost , in fact the easiest way is to lose and not win, for this reason we must always have everything very clear so that there are no strange things, we must always have Control of what is spent , that It is my best advice to maintain a Healthy mentality and not be corrupted by the Game.
3828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ADVICE]Boy Wins $46k from Sports Bet but Can't Tell Strict Religious Parents... on: August 07, 2023, 02:03:45 AM
If he knew that his parents would be angry when he told the truth about his big win and received the money, it would be better for him not to say anything about it. Better to save the money for a while and act like nothing happened not to arouse any suspicion from his parents. Or he could secretly invest the money into something more beneficial to him. But there was also another option he could make, which was to tell about his winning honestly.
First of all, what he did was wrong because he didn't follow the order of his parent's but now that he already committed the mistake, I think it will now be easy for him to commit another mistake which is to lie, just in case his parents find out about the money. Im sure there must be other profitable activity that is allowed in his country like investing or trading. He can just say that he got the money from those sources. There might still be people who can feel guilty right after making one mistake and they will confess it right away. They think this will lessen the punishment that they will be getting.

His parents loves him and that's why. His will to take an action should not be cause he is afraid of them he must think about god/Allah first. If he don't care about the creator then fuck his parents no need to worry about them.
Our parents are important because without them, we won't exist but without god there's also no people that will exist. There's even a saying that "god must come first". Maybe it's fine to dis-obey our parent's as long as what they are telling to us is not the same as what is written in the bible.
I think something, we are sinners by nature, but here in the case it was a child who did it, and a child generally does not have a mind like that of an adult, yes I know he disobeyed, but tell me something, what Sometimes a child does not disobey his parents (I sometimes did when I was a child) that is why it is not worth playing, secondly I know that without them our parents would have no life and I agree that God is first above all things, in fact the first commandment is that of loving God above all things, so from there we must also ask ourselves, if the child did that, it is because it was allowed to do so.

Now the case of the parents, that a son tells me that he earned a lot of money, but that he earned it because he disobeyed me, well I hug him the same and even with more joy, please how are you going to tell him that not money? He is also a child who did it, I know that the fact is bad, but I think that a person is not that he is comfortable, he is still happy with the end, but I think he can achieve happiness faster or in at least 90% because since money helps people to be happy, that is really what I need the most to be a very happy man, sometimes religions are very radical and make people become or become something they are not , and God does not like that, and the children belong to God, so I think that this is more than forgiven, now those who must ask for forgiveness in this case, without a doubt, God is the father of that child.

There are some things that happen where I am with some religions, where they ask people to give 10% of what they earn, and that seems so incredible to me, because they take advantage of the things of God the Heavenly Father to make money, and that is something that does not reach God, what reaches God are good deeds, or giving money to someone who really needs it, not for a Church, in fact in the Bible it says something like that, it does not reach God to the one who gives more money to a Church but other works that actually have spiritual weight.
3829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling scenario that keeps repeating on you on: August 07, 2023, 01:44:31 AM
Mine is with bonuses. When it's a bonus bet then it's chilled turn off for me as I have never won making use of bonus despite the amount involved and so in the past years I have developed that psychology that am going to lose even before making use of any bonuses am  given by the house. It all goes back to the house in one complete piece  Grin
Well sometimes the experience can be very hard on ourselves, we can do many things, but we cannot enter the casino with such an attitude, for example I know that it is very easy to lose money in a casino and that it is quite difficult to win or multiply our money, however there are people who achieve it, there are people who have that luck, when it comes to bonuses things can be colored in many colors, but it is not that it is something bad enough to sign a casino like that I will not play there because I will never win, or I will play even though I will lose.

When we stay in a casino, the bonuses always have their conditions, and it is mandatory for us to read all those requirements, to see if we have the capacity, patience, and time to do everything to be able to withdraw, which are usually quite a few things. It is difficult to be able to do it, however there are people who have enough patience and achieve it, but according to our personality we must verify if we are capable of doing it or not, that is the great advantage we have, to choose, to make decisions, this It's like life, it's about making a decision.

If the person makes the decision to enforce the bonus requirements, then they should already know if it was good or not to have accepted that challenge, and accordingly, the person begins to deviate or have a great deal of stress, because a When a person enters a casino, they must enter with a winning mentality without neglecting the reality of things.

As a player I have a peculiarity of playing, first I review the bonuses very well, and if it meets my abilities for the game I take it or leave it, because I know myself very well, I know that sometimes it can be achieved, but most Sometimes when I look closely at each bonus requirement, I don't feel capable of doing it, because I am someone who does not have so much patience when in a casino, I like to play but not with so much patience, and normally to take a bonus takes a lot of work and patience, most of the time I don't take them anymore.

Gambling credit is a very bad idea, because if player lose, the he will get a lot of problems. And if you have to play with borrowed money, then this means that the player has lost all the money available for this and is now trying to find more money to win, but this is always a bad idea. In gambling, you need to rely only on your own money, otherwise it will always lead to problems.
You're right, it's a terrible idea to gamble in the first place with koan money, debts and selling of properties would be the possibleend results. Taking out loans to place wagers on games is not an advantageous concept; it will almost certainly result in debt, financial difficulties, and account closing down. Gambling benefitted only the persistent and prudent, not the avaricious, because they would always have a chance to incur losses from the system. Most gamblers are motivated by hope and ambition to wager on games with borrowed money in the hopes of repaying it and profiting twice as much.

Well, I think you have said all the consequences of when an assignment is acquired, and if you are right they can be like that, in my very personal opinion I am a player who controls very well what is destined to play and lose in a casino For me , if the money that I have destined to use in the casino runs out because I lost it, I will stay away, I will not start inventing more edpepostitar because I will be going against my own rules and that is something that I never want us to be able to and should not do neither in the game nor in the trade.

Now, if a person who has spent their money in the casino and decides to take a loan, it is because that person has the ability to pay in case they lose, whether it be with jewelry, gold, cars, whatever, it is their decision. of the person, now if the person has nothing or capciada of payment, it is a very bad decision to have taken a loan and secondly things should not be done like this because a person who is of legal age and completely of legal age does not have to recriminate nothing, because it was under his decision that they gave him that credit or loan.

In particular, I am a person who would never take a loan to play in a casino. It seems to me the dumbest way to spend money, because it is very difficult to earn with that pressure that the money is lent, I must also emphasize that things are not how people always imagine them, when you take a loan there is the hope of earning the most money, to repay the loan and make a profit, or worse, to go after what you already spent to see if it can be recovered.

I am one of those who think that when there is a lot to spend in a casino, other types of things can be done, but less for a loan because I consider that a loan in a casino is not as necessary as for other things that are necessary, it is In other words, for things that must be paid for health, or emergencies, of course it is my criteria, I don't see any other, but there are some who give priority to casinos and that is respectable, everyone has their criteria.
3831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: August 07, 2023, 12:16:44 AM
Looking at the odds, I noticed two things - Biden's odds have worsened, and surprisingly Kennedy is now a very serious contender. I am a bit perplexed. Opinion polls are not showing a downward trend for Biden, or an upward trend for Kennedy. That said, for the greater good of world peace, I would love to see Kennedy as the POTUS in 2024, and he is much more preferable than either Biden or Trump. And in case he manages to secure the Democrat nomination, then he will be able to beat either Trump or DeSantis relatively easily.

No way Kennedy is a serious contender with the nonsense he has been caught red handed saying both in private and in public. It is disappointing he is the only Democrat nominee who people is talking about (besides Biden), because I actually expected some able politician to step up and democratically challenge Joe in a debate, but Kennedy is rather a distraction, it is a circus.

His supporters are very likely to be Republicans from the MAGA branch who believe vaccines are poison...

Apart from Kennedy, who is the other serious contender to Democrat nomination? Harris dropped out after Biden made it clear that he will be running again. Marianne Williamson is the only other Democrat who has announced the candidature so far, and I haven't even heard about her before. There are rumors that Joe Manchin and Dean Phillips may jump in to the fray, but these two have almost zero chances of securing the nomination. And trust me, if it's between Biden and Kennedy, then I would chose the latter at any time of the day.

I am not fully aware of your political standing but why are the reasons someone would prefer to vote for Kennedy instead Biden. If one looks at the statistics Biden is actually working okey on the economy, it was said even on channels like Fox.

One of the things I definitely do not like about him is how he treats certain groups of people within the USA. The government is supposed to treat all of us in the same way.

There still chance some surprise candidate within the Democrat party takes us all by surprise, very much like Obama did back in the day.

Well, that is something very important and that can produce whether or not a president wins, in erosnal terms, when a government is more biased towards a certain type of public, or let's call it a certain part of the "people", the other part will react, that's lao very obvious, but it is not known how it is, perhaps the most common and that he has seen are harsh protests, that is what occurs mostly, some protests are quite radical, I don't know if you remember the time that Trump supporters took the White House, to me these things seemed unusual for them to happen in the USA, well I am not saying anything that this happens in third world countries, because I already see that as normal, but in the USA , where security is the main reason for your country , at that time I did not see a security body that could have requested that entry in that way, which seemed somewhat grotesque to me.

Now seeing that there are people who are in the USA and it is seen that they have not been treated in the same way as others because they are of a type X , the president or his policies go against those people, I think that is something that is not He is very professional, it is also the USA where the laws are always Complied with, in fact if we start to see many countries copied the US system of laws and that is or was their pattern at that time, what happens is that with the amendments and all those things that have been said because the laws have changed, that is why it seems incredible to me that partialisms exist and more so in this era where opticians have to win the affection of many, a bad face, or a praxis in the Treatment of a person is not Good.

In these times I have seen that world politics has been in constant change, it is no longer the same as a few years ago, I have seen that now politicians have more power, they need to have the power to make decisions almost in favor of their Own interests, and that's when it's bad, when they seize power to obtain their own benefits, and I don't know , something tells me that these Candidates currently want to be in Power for that.

The question was who wants to bet on the elections. I would like to say that I don’t. This is not a roulette. This is not sport. This is not about any game. This is like bet on nuclear button. Literally. Because USA is a nuclear power. People speculating on the elections make a kind of show around them. Elections are not a show. Elections are about someone’s future.
It has become a culture in several countries with a presidential system of government when there is an election, many people will bet on it.
If you say elections are not roulette or sports, that's true, but in betting, it's not just a game or a sports match.
Maybe you still need to have knowledge about the meaning of betting.

Election winners are determined from the votes cast by the people of a country and some people use elections to support the candidate for the leader they choose and use it to generate profits such as betting.
Also, we are just betting on it, it is not like we are voting. I am not American so I am not voting anyway, by betting on this how could I hurt anything? I understand the notion that this is a serious thing and it should not be a joking matter but I am not joking about it, I am betting on it.

Just the other day one of the candidates called the other candidate a dumb son of... and we shouldn't bet? Hell if candidates take it "that" seriously, then I might as well have fun with it as well, I am not the one who should be taking it seriously. If they are that dumb, then me gambling will not change anything. It just doesn't have any consequences, I can bet as much as I want and nothing will come out of that no way.

Betting on elections had been done over and over in the past. Political discussions at the local level can sometimes result in verbal fights and I have been to it before with my brother which includes betting on our president. He lost as I always pick the populist regardless of what its plan.

This is not very different to sports in my opinion since you can see there are polls and those who participated in polls and surveys are like betting on who will be the president.

Yes, things are indeed like that, it is that now in this very particular case, we have two very strong contenders, one is a current president who I see has not done anything wrong, but in the USA things are very good. I would like to live in the USA to give my opinion because I believe that the people who live in the USA are the only ones who can express their opinion with great mastery, however I have seen the news, I have seen articles, I have seen many things that have been done to trump, and the truth is, I don't know if they are political traps by people with power who don't want trump to arrive as a candidate, but it's obvious that they want to get him out of the way.

There have been accusations made through women of sexual abuse, something like that, then a mistake that Trump made of having taken the classified files for nuclear purposes, all of that has now been taken from him and they have him in a big mess, this now provokes different reactions Around the world, the first reaction may be to support being left in prison since they are the private property of a nation, or to gain more support from the people because you are being attacked by the elite, so these things are the ones that have to think and That is why I insist, it would be excellent for the people of the USA to express their opinion, because they are the people who are there living day to day, and seeing how they can defend themselves in the country now, I know that the United States. The United States has been making a lot of changes, and I don't know if that's good or bad or if the changes are classified as good or bad.

I don't know how much these things have advanced against Trump, but what I think is that they are Moves of the same policy and they are things that do not seem to me, because Politics in the USA is becoming very power-hungry and that is worrying, I had never I have seen these politicians act like this, if all this that they have done to Trump is due to political traps to disable him, I do not consider it correct, I see it as a lack of respect towards a country that has needs and that obviously wants to continue having a great future .
3833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 06, 2023, 09:19:19 PM
According to the news, Inoue is set to have more fights in the current division before moving up. This presents an opportunity for Casimero to finally face the boxer whom he called "the turtle" and claim that he is the real beast. I know he is just trash talking, but the only way to find out who is the better boxer of the two is if they fight.

Casimero is not a top contender yet based on the ranking, but as he continues to have more fights, he will eventually become a top contender. I hope the time is not too late for him to become a mandatory challenger for Inoue.

Well, but it's not bad, I like that, I think Casiero is putting his sentence on himself , Because if the Fight Occurs, things that I would like, well, whoever wins here will be able to continue showing off what he is, although I have seen Inoue's attitudes And he is a Very Respectful boxer, he is not Praising himself and he is really a person who is a good sportsman, I consider him almost a genius of the sport, because he has controlled each fight , I have not seen it yet a fight where Inoue sees him as bad, or out of his mind , while Casimero does, Casimero should mess with any boxer, but not with Inoue, in fact, in the way Inoue is at the moment , I'm sure he could even hit him a good Knockout to Casimero.
^^ Same here, I'll just see what will be the outcome, and I don't have any intention to bet on this fight either. Sure, the name of Nate Diaz still bring some hype because he was really a colorful individual when he was still with the UFC and had great matches.

But this is boxing, and Jake Paul has made a killing of this sports as he made a lot of money already winning fights and this will be the same case here. And I think the sports of boxing exhibitions are over, we are back the normal now. We do love to see some exhibitions, but we had some good boxing this year that we are done with this kind of fights as we are entertain with real boxers fighting each other.

It is obvious this fight is created to generate money for the boxer, and promoter,  and is not created for boxing development.  Though exhibition is a good thing once in a while but having too many in a short span of time makes me look at it as boring as hell.  Though I am thinking this exhibition fight is boring, I am looking forward to see the development of Shields vs Thurman mix gender boxing fight.  I wanted to see if these thing is a scripted one (someone is pulling a string behind the scene creating a fixed results that can boost one's popularity for future marketing exploits)

Maybe in the beginning and during the pandemic, it's good to see this kind of exhibitions. And really in the beginning, it was good, like Tyson vs Roy Jones. But then it was fully exploited by Floyd Mayweather and then the Paul brothers to generate millions for them and it is very effective admit it or not as they got now a company to promote their fight if I'm not mistaken.

However, now it becomes boring, and if Jake Paul wanted to be a boxer then maybe he can do it and make a pro fight. But for sure there will be less money for him and that's why he just stay in his comfort zone - exhibitions matches, easy peasy millions for them.

Yes right, if he really aiming to become a pro he always have that advantage over those who are trying to enter this industry, he already have a name and he can negotiate a fight with his chosen division, but same with what you said, the amount of money is far lesser unless he will hype his fight and encourage those followers and viewers to buy a ticket with his fight.

Or, if he can set his first fight against a champion or a good ranking fighter, maybe that will also bring some decent amount of profits.

Well, to go from being a very good UFC fighter to boxing, I know that UFC fighters use their hands more to defend themselves, but in the specific case of being boxers, I think they should be very careful, because a boxer has more experience, it resists more blows, and the UFC blows are not the same as those of a boxer, they are stronger, faster and really one of those blows can kill anyone, only with 1, me in my personal experience With respect to the contact sports, I can say it, because it is not the same to fight hapkido and then mess with a boxer, because the boxer can give a knockout when the fighter does not expect it, to switch to boxing, I think what is indicated is to train the fighter. least 1 year, and if you have a lot of talent you can go down to 6 months but with a lot of risk, boxing really is very hard, a sport that not everyone resists.

and the fight:

YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul decisively beat UFC legend Nate Diaz in a boxing match Saturday night, but Diaz said he’s willing to take on Paul again, whether in the ring or the mixed-martial arts cage.

“Right now we’re going to go home and we’re going to talk about it, and we’re going to figure out whether we want to do MMA or boxing, and then we’ll see what they want to do,” Diaz said in his news conference after the match.

What I like the most about this is that the boxers will always ask for revenge, no matter how much they have been beaten, even if they are dying, they always ask for revenge, it is like that pride that does not let them do more than think about winning when they meet again. see, this is the typical behavior of any boxer, I just hope that Paul gives him the opportunity and they continue with the fights and give each other a good revenge because things can happen quickly, and it doesn't happen like that fight where Crawford was almost begging a Spence did not want to give him that fight and everything ended very badly for Spence, it is a shame for him, but they are all in different positions, today you can win, tomorrow you lose, that's boxing.

This topic is very good, because on several occasions people may believe their predictions and what will happen , I think I have already told it, but I want to bring it to this thread because I think it is very interesting, where I live people look to do raffles, be it cars, other items of that style, so when the raffles are very famous things get good, because they choose 4-figure raffles, and that is quite difficult for you to win that raffle You have to be very lucky , however when they sell many tickets, I have witnessed the raffle owners talk and whisper among themselves to go to a person who smokes tobacco so that they can do a "job" for him so that the number does not fall among the people who bought the raffle, because if so they keep the prizes and continue to do more raffles with the same cars , motorcycles, etc.

I couldn't help but listen to this, because I found it very Funny the fact that People look for witches, shamans and that kind of help so that they interfere in a lottery, obviously when people here go to those places they faithfully believe in the person who gave them He takes large amounts of money for doing that, the most important thing is that after that, and the winning number comes out, one of the tickets that someone did buy does come out , so this type of belief is based on the faith that the person places in it, but it is not something infallible that is going to happen as such. I really do not know whether to classify that belief as nonsense or something like that , it is Preferable that you start doing probabilities and statistics that is much more credible and closer to Reality.
3835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 06, 2023, 07:45:12 PM
How is there nothing wrong with greed? It's a negative emotion that makes you do things that are unnecessary only to get extra gains over what you are already getting or have gotten, and that usually makes you lose what you have already got which is why it is something that we should avoid at all costs. A greedy person can barely become successful at any venture, be it gambling, a business, or any financial situation in your life, be real and try to get what is rightfully yours or what you are getting out of luck but never get greedy.

The thing you mentioned at the end is exactly what greed is all about. When destiny is giving you the opportunity to get $200 which you can get immediately but you become greedy and wants to get $1,200 that only is a possibility and you might not even get it, you will even lose the $200 that you could get and might not get $1,200 as well.

This mindset needs to be overcome and anticipated, as expecting more in gambling often leads to the opposite result. We cannot control the website's system, especially in online games; instead, the system manages us. Humans cannot alter the outcomes predetermined by the system. It's a matter of luck – you might experience a big win if you're fortunate, but if luck is not on your side, you may end up losing more.

Well I agree with what you both say, in part if I have $200 that I won I think that is an indication at least for me to withdraw with profit of course there is the other part which is if I bet that full $200 to make at least 1200 usd is not a bad thing , but that risk implies something very Important that if it is lost, those 200 usd that we already had secured and tied up ready to be withdrawn will go away, it is a decision that is difficult for many , but I have it clear, if I withdraw it based on my criteria, based on my experience, I don't care if they later Classify me as fearful , or a Person who Does not like to take Risks , because that is Something that can also Happen.

In the event that we decide to risk it , and if it is lost , how do we stay? with a bad taste in the mouth, and our brain is something that we cannot avoid repeating the simple message of "you would have retired, you would be enjoying that money" that Always happens, of course now, if not, it is possible, it leads to a profit of 1200 usd is because firstly he was very lucky and secondly he has an angle that does not leave him, that's for sure, so there is no choice but to celebrate, but obviously that is a very remote possibility, I would not do it.

Each person has the power of decision, things can happen as long as our way of thinking decides it and sees it as something correct and possible, I know how I act in the face of some eventualities, but I cannot expect the same reaction from another person, such as such maybe the other person is in a better financial Position than me and doesn't Care if he takes a risk or not.

When we are in a casino , sometimes our logical and reason thoughts can be distorted and go elsewhere, because the same Emotion of the casino makes these logical Thoughts decrease when playing, it could be the casino environment, the music, all this causes an effect of another type of environment that is pleasant , so when we decide to play we have to have a Plan for Each event that Occurs.
3836  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: August 06, 2023, 07:20:17 PM
I think about this the following, a person who enters the casino and with little or no money is totally irresponsible, you cannot get involved in any other way if you have almost no money, at least you have to allocate a part of our money that is not so representative for a casino, because in a casino it is easier to lose the money that is deposited than the money that can be won, and it is not because I am a negative person, but rather that you have to be quite realistic with things, as players we are thinking people, if we have enough money to afford to play in a casino for "fun" it is ideal, otherwise if we do not have money and risk it in a casino, that is one of the most irresponsible acts that can be seen.

I know that each person is the owner of their actions and obviously is the owner of their money and that is something that we cannot deny, but we can advise, if a person who has almost no money and goes to a casino thinking that he can multiply his money, I would tell him not to do it, because that money that he wants to multiply if it depends on spending for a basic need should not be done, also in a casino you do not win everything, there it is easier to lose than to win.

I am very sure that the one who does that is not doing it well, because they play with stress, with fear and these two feelings sometimes, or stop betting well, or think clearly, it is very difficult to think with stress and fear what to think clearly without fear of losing the money destined to lose.

People who have very little money for anything, just to cover their basic needs should not think about playing in a casino, because if apart from everything they are quite new, in the game it can create a particularity, they may like it a lot, they will let yourself be carried away by emotions, enter a cycle where you want to win and you know that if you put in more money you can earn double what you have lost and that can become a double-edged sword and you lose everything, that is what you should avoid at all costs.
3837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 06, 2023, 06:47:37 PM

Casimero is just surrounded by unprofessional people some of them are ready to exploit and his lifestyle made it worse. Even after the Butler cancellation, it took nearly a year for Casimero to fight again. Whereas Tapales after becoming overweight in his supposed WBO 118 title defense, move up right away in his next fight which made Tete the interim champion elevated as the new WBO champion which he later lost to Casimero.   

Meanwhile, Casimero should continue to stay active because once Inoue becomes undisputed, I believe he is the main target of the first undisputed title defense and there is no chance of saying no once that opportunity comes. If in case Tapales becomes undisputed, the more Casimero needs to stay active to force a mandatory shot probably via WBO since the IBF and WBA already had their mandatories waiting to be announced.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/07/31/Qb7E9.png

I like the idea of Inoue staying in the division to defend his belts. Nery is banned from fighting in Japan due to his failed drug test and missing weight against Yamanaka. Inoue will have to either fight him in the US or fight Casimero instead. I think many Japanese people would like to see Inoue avenge their countryman, but there is also those who believe a dirty fighter like Nery doesn’t deserve another opportunity.

I have said this in my previous post that the plan of Team Inoue is to unify the super bantamweight division and defend the belts once against Nery or Casimero so if the former has a questionable reputation and banned from fighting on Japanese soil then this makes Casimero the probable opponent whenever Tapales lose this fight. It may also be a welcome sight for Japanese fight fans if indeed Casimero will be the challenger as they want Inoue to punish him as a vengeance to all the Japanese that Casimero defeated.

IMO, Casimero is the only fighter in this division who has a higher chance of defeating Inoue.

Perhaps it might be competitive early, but as the rounds goes by, Inoue could possibly caught Casimero my surprised, just like what the did to Fulton. So not sure how Casimero will overcome the advantage of Inoue, tough chin, faster hands and obviously the power behind those jabs might take a toll on him the later rounds.

And it's better to see Nery vs Casimero first, this is going to be explosive fight and whoever wins then go straight to Inoue as his first defense. However, I don't see any present breed of super bantamweight to beat Inoue, Naoya is even taller than Casimero and Nery.

Well, I also have a position here, for me Casimero is the ideal fighter for Inoue as well, if we put him to fight Tapalñes it's obvious that Inoue is going to defeat him, it's not that I'm saying that Tpales is bad or that I'm underestimating him, but come on, you just have to see what he did to Fulton, Futlton came out with a forward and backward manner, he did not realize when he beat him, there were so many things as Inoue cornered him, there were so many accurate blows that Inoue gave that Fulton had no choice but to accept his defeat, but I don't know how much is going through Fulton's mind, but I know that he did not imagine that things would have been this hard for him, it is something that did not fit in his head He really imagined that fight in another way.

Hopefully that will be the case for Inoue, stay at the top of 122 lbs division for at least to defend the belt. The problem though if by chance Inoue had all the belts in this division, sanctioning bodies are going to have their mandatory. So it's very hard to defend all the belts that he had that he will have to vacant some of it and then defend either 1 or 2 belts only. And if he doesn't want to, then he can go up in the next weight class and for sure, that's one option as well that he and his team is looking for. So maybe a Casimero fight, as much as we want to see it, the chance are very slim, just saying.

Yup, those sanctioning bodies also want to earn some money by doing mandatory fights but the goal of Inoue is to be a unified champion at 122 lbs and after that he could relinquish some of the belts that he doesn't want to depend but first, he needs to fight Tapales to achieve his goal and give the latter the appropriate money for that fight as it a big fight that I think would earn big money.

Luis Nerry or Casimero is the fight they target before going up.

It depends if Inoue's camp are planning to make him stay in his current division for long, it has been said that he will stay for like one or two title defense fight considering that he is already the undisputed champion but after that, there's no telling if he will stay or not as there is also a chance that he will climb the next weight class and try to be a champion again.

So, these sanctioning bodies may throw successive mandatory fights towards Inoue if they want but nothing will stop him if they are already inclined to fight in the next weight class. He will be stripped for sure if that is the case but that will become irrelevant as he already unified all those belts beforehand.

That will be a mystery for now because that is quite too far from the situation they currently have. Step by step, we will get to that discussion because for now, Naoya Inoue is still a 2-belt champion and just had his first bout in super-bantamweight. In the upcoming months, we might see some improvement while Inoue and Tapales's camp are discussing about the upcoming undisputed fight, hopefully they can agree on it and make another fight before this year ends so that Inoue's timetable will be much more manageable.
Now everyone wants to fight Inoue , they can't get over the fact that Inoue is a boxer on Another Level, and this is something they must accept, because first things are not as they think , but as they are , they cannot accept that Inoue came not to lose, and what I like about this is that Inoue is not a braggart like the other boxers , he is a quiet boxer, he just does his job, he concentrates on winning and that's it, he doesn't give much to talk about, they look for him to challenge him, Inoue here He must be very selective, he must go with the most experienced in this category so that he can be even more famous , what I want is that this boxer will have Many more opportunities , the best thing is that he can continue to emerge and rise in the category.

3838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: August 06, 2023, 06:15:35 PM
There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?

Futures trading is gambling in my opinion. You’re just making bets on companies and their ability to over or underperform expectations. Since it isn’t a black and white type of gambling it could give people the illusion that futures are some type of investment, but they are a really poor way to invest and a great way to gamble.
No, it isn't. Just because the outcome in futures trading is also unknown it doesn't make it pure gambling. To get to know the difference between futures trading and gambling, take one regular gambler and one regular futures trader, and ask them about the results they tend to get in a week's time, the answers will surely let you know the difference and how gambling is not exactly the same as futures trading because you don't blindly open trades in futures trading but it's all done after a process.

So people who trade in futures that have knowledge and experience about it tend to win more trades than they lose and they make trades with proper risk-management such as stop-loss where you don't lose everything even if you lose a trade, while in gambling, a bet that you lose takes away the whole amount you have wagered.
Actually this problem is still a big question because according to the answers some people here say that futures trading is the same as gambling but some say it not gambling.
But for myself this is clearly not comparable because the functions of the two are different or briefly both have different ways of working so for me gambling is not trading and trading is not gambling.

Futures trading is something that moves at a time that is hard to predict, at least for me, because it moves too fast, I can trade but long-term, medium-term, but futures The market moves very different, although it is the same market, but it is not the same, because here the strategies that work are applied a lot, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, use of indicators, a bit of everything, and everything that is study and trade is never to bet, because to bet is to leave everything to chance, play and play until you win and have that good touch of luck at the right time.

I have done futures trading applying Wyxkoff's theory, only for that period of time it is very difficult for me, that's why I do analysis using the Wyckoff method but in a longer period, 1 hour and from there I draw conclusions based on the tempo, that is, I can do my analysis at 1 hour and at the end of 1 hour I can sense where the market can go, and from there I take it, it is not what should be done, but it is my method, although I did not do it again do because I feel like I'm making it up.

So when I make these comparisons, trading of any kind is clearly not the same as betting, betting is always something else, I know that there are people who enter a casino betting, playing for the sake of playing, some apply strategies, but randomness can do it . Win or lose, but entering a trade by betting is the most dangerous thing to do.

My analogies regarding gambling and trading will always be the same, first of all in gambling and in trading when you win even a little, that's a win, I prefer that to losing, there are actually many people who have ways of thinking very different, they only settle when they get very large profits and that is difficult, both in gambling and in the casino, the profits for me should be few but continuous, that is, if I win little money in one day I accumulate it, then the next day or t 3 days, it doesn't matter, you have to see this as a business.

And this happens because athletes take their bodies to the utmost limits, and if they have some unknown disease or condition then they can literally drop dead on the field, an image we have unfortunately see many times during our lives, so if doping was allowed the number of cases like that will increase dramatically, as in their attempts to be the very best they can be athletes will push the limits of their bodies and develop all kind of short and long term diseases.
Aren't there medical checks before such drugs are taken? If not, the management should be responsible for what happens to the players if there is a reaction or something due to the drug taken to enhance the player's abilities, because they are the ones who should be checking all these things if they are allowing and making their players take the drugs so that they can perform much better than their normal selves and that they manage to win the games.

Though I am totally against this thing of allowing players to openly use ability-enhancing drugs only to make the games more interesting, I still feel if something happens to the players, the management should be taken responsible for that since they should do medical check-ups before allowing a player to take drugs.
In theory yes, if doping was allowed then doctors should keep a close watch on the athletes and the reactions they have to the medicines they take to improve their performance, but at the same time it is not as if we can predict perfectly what will be the effects on a person after taking a drug, while at the same time some heart conditions are very difficult you detect, and when we add that many athletes will probably take drugs on their own without consulting their doctors then this could create the perfect storm for a lot of accidents to happen.

Well, in that you are absolutely right, with the amount of medications that there are, it is very likely that a person who takes them without knowing how their body is internally, does not know what side effect it brings, sometimes there are people who self-edit and they do better. al, when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, the heart is the one that sets the tone, we can't take something that can speed it up more than normal, there are different types of hearts, the other day I started talking to a cycling coach He told me that he had to include a common athlete that we knew, but according to what he said, it is that when they did the medical exams his heart was not adequate, that is, he did not have the heart to be a cyclist.

When he told the mutual friend, he told him to make an exception, that he was going to train, and since my friend is not a bad person, despite everything he did, he began to train him, but when he left with the team in the peloton, his performance in particular started to go down, he was not at the level, even though he lasted at least 6 months training, he always kept up, he choked a lot, he could not be at the level of the big climbs that yes, my friend really did not he could cope with the level that others had and that frustrated him but he ended up accepting that even the type of cyclist's heart has very particular characteristics, now if a person like that, who has those foods or that particular condition, if you dope? what would happen ? It would endanger his life, and that's what drugs do.

In addition to where the idea of legalizing drugs or doping in the Olympic Games came from , which is something so Sacred, so clean in sport , whoever comes to the Olympic Games is because they have been working on it all their lives , I see that as something so unique , so hard to achieve , because any athlete is not capable of doing everything so perfectly to come to represent their Country , and if they Legalize doping then anyone who starts practicing a sport will arrive easily because the Simple fact of Drugs make the body do things that it normally can't sometimes do.

I did the same and even bet on Alex Morgan to score but it was a bust.
Portugal's defense was quite good because of the many chances USA got on the other hand, I also like the performance of Pereira and Portugal players who dare to play the ball more than USA in this match.
The second half could have gone Portugal's way if Ana Capeta's shot hadn't hit the bar but unfortunately it ended in a scoreless tie.
With this, the Netherlands are firmly at the top of Group E as they won easily against Vietnam.

It was really a shame for Portugal to leave the World Cup, despite having played well. But, they should have played more against Holland. If Portugal had played a match like the one they played against the USA, maybe now they would still be in the competition.

But, for a team that was at the Worlds for the first time, you just have to leave with pride, and keep working to progress even further.
Congratulations "Navegantes" (Nickname of the Portuguese women's football team).  Wink


In turn, I expected a little more from the US. Are they saving up for the rest of the competition?

Well, to tell the truth, it hurt me a lot that Portugal left, I think the way they believed was very premature. It's the first time in a World Cup, but there's no denying that they did a good job, I've seen some matches, I really like the job they did, now the Colombian team has me on the edge, they've really done it very good, I liked how they beat Germany because the Germans showed exquisite football and things were not given this time, but I think the Colombian team is doing wonderfully , I like that a Latin American team is shining in this world.

Although Sweden women's players are performing well on the field, the USA women's team is the best offensively. The USA Women's team has had the most attacks in attacks so far in the current half. Although neither team was successful in attacking, in that case I can say that the team that can attack more after half time will be the winning team today. And if we want to score today, we will have to attack the hardest because the defenders of both teams are very strong and hard working players. But usa is attacking the most i think USA can win because also much ahead in attack.
They are now waiting to play penalties and I would have not imagined this.USA is one of the best teams in women soccer and I am surprised at how great Sweden was in holding up against them.Now the penalties are just a lottery and any team can pass but I think it would be a huge surprise the USA elimination from the tournament.The fact that USA didn't score means that now they can suffer the unwritten law of football which is "when you don't score you will concede or if you don't you will risk it all in sudden death (penalties".The odd was great for Sweden to have a draw and I was afraid of them because I thought USA would crush them.
Today as match was going in first half I was really surprised with the performance of the Sweden team because this was beyond my expectations as USA playing aggressively I was expecting good number of goals but nothing happen, and they have to face penalties which was surely not good because in today match luck was not near their quality and performance which eliminate them from the event in round of 16 on eight penalties which is surely sad new for the world no 1 team and their fans because before start of this event there were expectations about them to have spot into last two, but now we have top two teams out before any serious note.

I'm not surprised about Sweden and the USA, because I've always liked how the girls from Sweden play, Sweden is also a very soccer country and the girls play very well, also the USA have good technique, they didn't lose so badly, a taking a penalty or going out for a penalty is not so embarrassing, also what surprises me here is that Colombia has been advancing a lot, the South Americans have done a great job and that is something that I like a lot, because they have already beaten Jamaica and eliminated to Brazil and that's not just anything, the Cololmbnioanas have eliminated the Germans and it's not just any thing, the German girls have a great team and that makes things in this World Cup go in a direction that nobody expected.

Everyone is surprised by the USA, but what? This is normal, this is soccer, many expected the USA to wipe out Sweden, but it was not like that, I liked this result and it is proof that this World Cup things are on another level.

United States' World Cup dynasty ends along with myth of supremacy



Quote
MELBOURNE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The United States came to the Women's World Cup bullish about their chances of winning an unprecedented third consecutive title but their round-of-16 exit at the hands of Sweden showed their campaign was built more on hope than substance.

After back-to-back World Cup triumphs under Jill Ellis in 2015-19, Vlatko Andonovski's efforts to regenerate the four-times champions will be judged a failure in the wake of their 5-4 loss on penalties in Melbourne on Sunday.

Well, things are over for the USA, I am surprised by the large amount of news about this, they have only focused on rating, they do not praise the work of other teams, I think that the women's world championship was not just USA, things are now focused in another direction, it seems excellent to me, because here it is shown that the players who are considered very favorites and very monsters also fall, sometimes fame makes that weigh heavily on the athletes and that is why it is very surprising worldwide, all the women who had so much seniority and now are here with a total loss, it's not that the penalties are bad, it's that Sweden did their job well and did not allow or let themselves be discouraged by fame or by the ocentarios or by everything that influences on social networks, they played and that's it, they won in the right way and my congratulations to the Swedish team , and the USA will be for another opportunity.
