Xabi Alonso made an excellent decision to continue with the team next season. Leverkusen will play in the next Champions League, they will need a coach like Xabi Alonso because he has played in major competitions such as the Champions League. I can't wait to see the club compete with the clubs from other leagues, as we have seen how they competed with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title race this season. You're right, they need to add more players next season, so they shouldn't be eliminated so easily, because they will face difficult challenges in the next Champions League if they meet a major team like Real Madrid or Manchester City, we don't know if their current players will have strength to play this way next season.
Xabi is taking risk by staying in Leverkusen as they might not be able to repeat this success next season. With limited player resource, they will have big troubles by defending their Bundesliga title while discover Champions League. It will put Leverkusen under pressure of using their player resource very wisely to maintain good performances in Bundesliga but still don't affect their discovery about their own ability in Champions League. They are both big tasks for Xabi Alonso and his players next season and I think Xabi decided to stay because he aims at a coach position in Real Madrid that is not available this summer. They will complete the contract with Carlo Ancelotti before finding a new coach in 2025 summer, not this coming summer next 3 months. This is very true, I do not think that it would be easy for him to repeat the same things again and again, there are situations where things are not going that hard. I believe that we are going to see them change some stuff next season and those changes (including selling good players like grimaldo) may make them worse. In that situation, the value of Xabi as a manager could drop, not a lot because he had this season, but he will not be considered as great as he is this season. Look at Spaletti, he is managing Italy right now, and that's a good job no doubt but that dude managed to make Napoli win the title, I would have expected some major team to get him. Italian managers don't do well outside of Italy, so maybe that's why he didn't. |

Some people are just very naive. And they believe that they need to share their successes with others so that they can share in their joy. By the way, this is implicitly imposed in various shows. There, the presenters are very picturesquely happy about the successes of the players, although in their hearts, I think, they deeply do not care. Likewise, I dont quite understand why people boast about their successes on Instagram. The social network Instagram itself was created in order to boast in front of other people. This is how people satisfy their psychological complexes.
It's complicated but some people are born that way, they just can't keep things to themselves even if they are private only to boast about themselves and how good their lives are while in reality, they are full of sh*t, and even a mediocre life is better than theirs. Some of them would do such things out of insecurity or maybe to show someone else that they have a better life than them, however, all of these are useless things and thought processes. I have always hated people who do such things, I don't even like it if they share their success stories because they barely do it to motivate others but they do it to gain attention and to make others jealous of what they have achieved which is disgusting. It's not for everyone, I know there are good people as well, but sharing your success stories with others don't make any sense to me. |

there are many airdrop projects currently using the SOLANA network, what do you think about the price of SOLANA in the future, will it touch ATH or cross ATH several times?
SOL price movements are currently quite fast. even pumps and dumps that occur several times are enough to provide profits for traders in a short time. of course, there are transaction factors from airdrop tokens and meme tokens which are currently widely available on the Solana network. the more transactions that occur, the better it will be for the price of SOL in the market. The ecosystem that Solana has built is quite good, even though there have been several problems in the past. when transaction congestion ever occurs on the Solana network. but they are still an alternative with their fast and cheap network. SOL has been like this sometimes in the past but right now, what made it break more heights or limits are the airdrops under it. When we say airdrops, many of these tokens are a shit coin which can only be pumped and dumped quickly, so I don't think this is a nice or ethical way to earn but using the main coin SOL would be better than them. Solana started great, though I think their later updates have affected them negatively but we can see their determination to recover from that and that must be the reason on why they are experiencing these success right now. They have re-gained the trust of the people that once they lost or almost lost. I wouldn't say they are only lucky there. |

Saudis target another player and this time it's the time for Deko the former player of Inter Milan. Deko is currently playing for Fenerbahçe in Turkey and he is old but he still can have a good performance at this age. The contract of this 37-year-old player will expire in 2025 and Saudis should make Fenerbahçe to accept the deal and let Deko leave the team. Al Hilal sent an offer for Deko with an 11 million euros salary which is much more than what Deko can earn in Fenerbahçe and considering his age, it's a huge amount of money for him  Dzeko is having 2 years contract with Fenerbahçe which is going to end in 2026, and currently he is happy at the Fenerbahçe even we can't predict about few things which can take good change any time so it's surely good and attractive offer but most chances he will not this because right now he is happy to play in Turkey there he can face problem due to conditions and completely different environment but here we have one thing surely which is surely going to hurt small leagues with now Saudi league organizers are going to invest another round of the buying which can create problems for the few leagues which are having not good budget but still want to improve their quality and also want to have better chance for the Champions League spots, but offer like these are surely going to hurt their cause. |

Today, traders in stocks or forex are mostly traders among them who are switching to crypto or bitcoin and holding bitcoin and top altcoins because of the bull run that is coming. That is the truth. There are legit traders who focus on one market and dont move to others recklessly and then there are showoff traders who talk big and dip their hands into non-crypto trading and eventually bring their burnt out faces back to crypto. Indeed, no one speculative market trading is superior, all have their own pros and cons. But if one person is well versed in a certain type of market, they should keep themselves limited to that one only. However getting a fixed or close to fixed amount every day or month is near impossible because trading is not like a job that pays you a fixed salary. Sometimes you get a good profit sometimes you dont and hence the mindset should be like that only. I believe that one should always keep learning something new but one should not experiment on anything without learning. I agree with you that trading is not like a job in which one gets a fixed income. I know a lot of people who make a lot of profit in day trading because they have mastery over their work and their market research is huge. They have learned very well when to invest, in which coins, and when to close our trades. Trading is not a child's play in which anyone can experiment and become successful. I can say that if we understand the market well, we can benefit a lot from it, but this can only be possible if we work hard ourselves, do our research, and do not follow what everyone else says. |

The march of technology definitely keeps the gambling world on its toes. I like the idea of being selective with new tech its like picking the right tool for the job, or in our case, the right game for the thrill. Plus, who knows? Maybe one day we'll find ourselves gambling in virtual reality from our couches  It's better we selective with the new tech because we must filter all information and only use the tech that we needs. Besides that, we don't knows if all tech can useful for us so filtering the tech and selecting the right tech for us is a must. That will prevents us to spends waste money for something that we don't needs so we can allocate the money to the right needs. Playing gambling in virtual reality has just began but it still needs to develops more to find the right one. Besides that, the devices still very expensive to many people so the tech must create something that can helps people who doesn't have much budgets. Being selective has a benefit and that is, you always ensure that you will only get the best. There were lots of technologies that are released and will still be released but a bunch of them are only unnecessary and we still can be able to live well even without them. Even if we are rich and can afford them, there are still better ways that we can spend our money. VR is not new and seems didn't boom well, especially here in the gambling world. It is said to offer a real-life experience but I guess people already proved that playing or doing the actual thing is still the best and it is also more healthy. VR might be one of those unnecessary technologies. |

The Europa League clearly has differences with the domestic league, but we can assess a team's performance there.
In Europa League, which uses a knockout system, anything can happen and even luck will be quite influential here.
There's nothing wrong with predicting Liverpool and Roma's final, because both teams have good quality, but it's not easy and I really don't think that the course or what happens in the Europa League will be in line with what many people predict.
Now as we have top eight teams left into competition things are looking competitive and predictions are going to be tough with any team can win and go through for the next round if we will have Liverpool vs Roma in final this could be not surprising because Roma already lost last year into final and Liverpool current quality and performance is at the top which can give them good chance for reaching into last four. We have four games into this round with all teams are good and having consistency which allow them to reach out here even few are looking stronger due to their quality and recent performance but still in UEFA events we can predict about any match with any game can go into either way with the match day performance of any team. |

If you go to the altcoin board right now, you'll see some threads in form of questions like, have altcoin bull started, and most of this thread are created by newbies who heard how some altcoins has given some investors a x100 profit without them knowing the basics of how a this things happen or coin that this things happen to. Its always good to conduct strick research on coin we aim to invest in before making any move for investment and not the other way around.
Mostly, people in the market, especially newbies, face losses because they make investments just by hearing things from here and there, and don't do any research from their side which is why most of their investments fail in the long run, and when that happens, they start blaming the industry, trading, predictions, and everything else. When you don't do research and make an investment just like that, there is more than a 90% chance of you losing money. I think a wise and mature person would never make an investment just because they have heard positive things about something, they would always conduct some research, check its history and present, see how it's doing in the market, and then if they are satisfied, they may go for investing in that project. |

There are many matches where we can see the club that is the favorite actually lose to the club that is not the favorite or end in a draw, that's why I prefer to bet close to a few minutes before the match starts. At least I know which players will be fielded too, it's important for me Looking at it, however, analysis and doing research are also necessary so that you don't choose the wrong club to bet on, that's why every sports bet is also inseparable from luck, even though this gambling doesn't require 100% luck, the final result is luck that determines it. The point is that winning and losing is part of gambling so just enjoy it.  I wouldn't say many matches go that way where the favorite team loses against a team that hasn't been performing very well, but it does happen with a few matches which isn't very often. So a person who has enough knowledge about a sport and better yet if they have experience in sports betting, can easily manage to win more matches than they will lose if they conduct enough research before each game. As far as I know, squads are announced before the games, so you don't need to wait until the last few minutes before the game to make your bets because sometimes you might miss the bet in case you face a problem with the platform or maybe your internet connection, etc. |

Addiction and irresponsible gambling is the major cause of the ban of gamble in some countries, just as you said those who could not get money for gambling legally may end up selling their property or even go as far as robbery just to get money for gambling, and initial one of the reason they keep coming back to gamble is because they are chasing after their loses. If only they could realize this, they quit the addiction and focus on other things or play only when they have money to risk.
Most religions promote peace and harmony, and as you mentioned, gambling can make people do evil things or commit crimes when they see they don't have more money but they can't control the urge to gamble because they are addicted to it, they will be compelled to do something so that they can get some money and in that urge, they might commit heinous crimes such as kidnapping people for ransom money, stealing, robbery, etc. So I believe just like the countries that ban gambling because of the potential crimes it can bring in a society, religions also forbid gambling for same reasons so that people don't gamble, and when they don't gamble, they won't get addicted, and if they don't get addicted, they wouldn't commit crimes. |

This goes beyond temptation to the constant bombardment of our senses by screens we can't escape. The casinos? Instead of moralizing, they intend to cast a large net on social media, where the fish are plentiful and the guards are down
It's true that online gambling dens' exploitative activities aren't solely responsible. We must protect the future generation. Digital literacy should be discussed in depth. We must discuss device use with our kids, not just dictate it. It's about teaching judgment and critical thinking, not creating a digital boogeyman
Remember that internet accessibility is a double-edged sword. It connects us to the world but also opens doors we don't want. Thus, vigilance becomes a lifestyle. We must teach ourselves and our children about internet dangers
They can spreads their gambling activity in their social media but they must be careful because we don't know what people wants after they see our gambling activity. The gambling now becomes popular since social media allow people to gives screenshot about their gambling activity so that can makes many people of their friends knows about gambling and trying to playing gambling like other people. But when our kids access internet, we must supervise them so they don't doing anything that can makes them takes a wrong way. They can see the gambling ads in the internet, especially in their social media pages because the gambling ads will be showed many times and that can lead them curious and wants to know for further. If we always gives suggestions and anything necessary and for their needs in using the internet, they will not trying to try what other kids do because they already knows that will makes them in trouble. If they are new in gambling, they may get curious on our posts and try it. There is no problem there as long as the platform is legit and they will have a control of their selves. Not only screenshots are allowed now but even a live stream about gambling and there is also gambling ads. They are more alarming as they can target more audience. I am not sure if underage people can't see those types of contents as they are mainly built for adult people but social medias should do that. It's the same as those sexual type and other explicit content. They might have their own kids too or little brother, cousins, etc... and they may not want the same bad thing to happen to them. |

I think the Champions League quarter-finals this season look more even, and not a single game does look unbalanced, yes we admit Manchester City and Madrid are like a final because of their performance and consistency so far in playing, but I think we also should not rule out other matches and I think will not be less exciting in the Champions League quarterfinals this season.
The Madrid and Manchester City match is like a revenge match for Madrid and that's why I think in the match both teams will play with high intensity to beat each other, seeing the performance and experience of course Madrid will still be the favorite in the match, but in terms of mentality and also squad depth of course Manchester City cannot be underestimated especially they are the defending champions this season, And that's why it looks like the game will be difficult for us to guess who the winner is, because indeed both teams are the best teams available at the moment, besides that I think their ability will be really tested in the game and besides that I think the match will be a proving match for Haalaand and Belingham to declare who is the best between the two former Dortmund players.
Yeah I agree, we have all matches well-balanced, and all teams are going to be give their best for having spot into last four and prediction is not easy for any game in these all matches all teams are at their best this time we have PSG vs Barcelona which is also well-balanced due to recent problems which are bringing their quality down and PSG which is having good time in this season, and now they are trying their best for having spot into last four which could be bonus for them after having good win against another Spanish club Real Sociedad as mostly were predicting about their win but PSG done good job. Atlético Madrid also at his best and now having good chance for the final as well after beating Inter Milan their confidence level is high, and their performance is also good which can bring good results for them in coming matches. |

EPL matches becomes boring without the interference of these outstanding players. Everything will worked in due time, everyone needs to be patient becauset the slightest mistakes will give opponents work. Manchester City would have crumbled in performance but overlooking certain sectors. Pep Guardiola knows what to do when it comes to injuries in his squad, he ensured he has good replacement for them and not relenting efforts. Manchester City goalkeeper, Ederson injured, atleast he has good time and represents his s side well enough.
Injuries are making big impact on few teams performance which is surely not suitable but still we are having few big teams which are playing with their suitable replacements which are giving them good performance and same level game which are they needed in absence of their quality players we have good players at the Manchester City but still if they lost their quality players this hurt their performance as we have few weeks back now things are coming back to normal but still we will have good competition. Pepe and Arteta both are quality coaches and also understand all conditions which are important for them, and they need to act at this stage quickly because it's also suitable for the both sides next few days will be enough for having all updates related to these top teams about their injuries. |

Arriving many top players on the several Saudi Arabia clubs have expected with more compete Saudi Pro League but currently Al Hilal keep on the top position without any team can beat them until few matches left. Al Nassr is the expected teams can stopping Al Hilal in this season seems not compete yet and looks over with their opportunity for winning domestic league after remaining 12 points of 10 matches left. I don't sure with Al Nassr can't catch up Al Hilal points in 10 matches left with inconsistency performance and other side Al Hilal still unbeaten more than 28 matches.
Next match, Al Hilal will face the 10th standings position Al Shabab and seems they can't beat Al Hilal and make them keep closer become the domestic league winner this season.
I would say that "competitive" is not what they were really after, because if that would be the case they would get players who would be free agents and still good and not people who are about to retire. They didn't really look for talent, or just talent, they looked for fame, so that they would be able to say that they are doing fine. They are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to Italy and Spain just to have their cup games there, do they get anything from it aside from fame? They are looking for more viewers that's it, they want popularity and that's about all the things they require. This means that some teams got lucky and got better players than other teams which ended up being the most important part. |

PSG will still own League 1 with or without Mbappe because this League does not make other clubs feel superior at all. PSG is also the richest club, the depth of the squad is capable and when compared with other clubs it is just entertainment. All eyes are on one team, there are no obstacles for PSG in League 1. However don't be surprised why PSG is not satisfied, because being in League 1 is not enough, and the target is UCL. It's a shame that the UCL is not the same, the competition is tight, healthy and PSG hasn't been able to achieve anything in the Champions League even though it was full of star players.
UCL competition and League 1 competition are not the same. UCL championship is PSG's biggest dream. To win that cup, they spent a lot of money to create a triple offensive line with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. Only Mbappe remained today, but they still managed to qualify. They will play important matches for the UCL and I think advancing to the next round is more important for them than League 1 matches. PSG spend huge funds for the Champions League is now past things are taking good changes, and they are working on building their team as best unit which is possible, but currently we are having Mbappé dilemma still on which is going to be ended in this summer and things will be more clear about this club's future. PSG management is having dream which can came true, but this is never been easy because usually we can't buy trophies with money this all needed good work as well, but sadly they never do this which is their fault first time we have quality coach which can bring better results but this all needed time and if we have this for Luis Enrique then surely things can go their way, and we will have this team as one of the best in UEFA region. |

In the first test match between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Bangladesh lost the first test match against Sri Lanka by a big margin. In the first test match, the Bangladeshi bowlers could not bowl well and the Bangladeshi batsmen could not bat with responsibility at all, due to which Bangladesh accepted a big defeat even in the condition of their home ground. Defeated in the first Test, the Bangladeshi Tigers will surely fight to bounce back in the second Test. If Bangladesh can draw the second test match, this series will be the most interesting series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as Sri Lanka won the series in T20 and Bangladesh won the series in ODI. In that case, if there is a draw in the Test match, we must accept that all the series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have been very tough contests.
Against teams like New Zealand, Bangladeshis were able to win matches as a result of preparing dust-bowls. But this tactic doesn't work against Sri Lanka, as they have some of the best test spinners in the world. So the curators prepared sporting wickets, which failed to swing the match in Bangladesh's favor. They lost the first match by a very heavy margin and prospects are very bleak for the second match as well. I would advice them to prepare a sporting pitch for the second match and face the enemies courageously. After having embarrassing defeat in first test Bangladesh team's confident level is at their lowest level and chances are not high for them to have anything positive in second test match of this series even they will go with supportive pitch because Sri Lankan team is currently having few good players which are giving their best and creating some good foundation for the better future of this team even this is also not easy for them with going to take long time, but now their confidence level is high, and they are well-prepared for the games after having big win in last game. Their batting lineup is doing good with their bowlers are also competitive for the Bangladesh batting which is currently at their lowest level of quality and things are going down instead of going to improve with experience due to their poor domestic structure. |

The 7th match of Indian Premier League has started between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl. Chennai Super Kings lost the toss and went into bat to collect 206 runs after losing 6 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. All batsmen of Chennai Super Kings have performed very well. Shivam Dube, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad all batted very well. 207 runs is a big target in T20 format. Chennai Super Kings bowlers can win if they do well. I think Chennai Super Kings will win today. Let's see which team can win in the end.
In the seventh game of this season, we have CSK bats first and set huge target for the GT which are currently batting and have all sort of trouble with just after 8 overs we have 57 runs with the lost of 3 wickets after this start now things are going completely down for the GT which is having good start of the season after beating MI into their first game but now this time they are having serious punishment from the CSK batting with now things are going completely in the opposite side. Gill, Saha and Vijay Shankar gone now Miller and Sai at the crease and required rate is already over 12.5 which is clearly indicating this match is already over for them and they have to check their bowling and batting for the next game if they want to have something good in this season. |

In fact, many poor people get caught up in gambling because they think gambling is the only way to get rich. In my country, several survey institutions have proven that many poor people are trapped in online gambling and even become addicted.
For me, what differentiates rich people from poor people in gambling is just a matter of capital and not being stressed if they lose. Rich people when gambling are never afraid of the capital they spend, but poor people gamble with the hope of winning big so it is not uncommon for them to be willing to commit crimes just to get capital to gamble again.
That is such a sad thing, I hear so many sad stories where people lose all hope in the world and turn to gambling for a possibility of making some money and they lose the very small amount they have left. I have been very very poor in my life, as recently as in 2024 as well, the first two months of this year I had days where I just drank soup and ate bread, that's it, for many days in a row, because I had no money left and soup is like 10 cents here, and bread is like 30 cents, so a meal would come down to 40-50 cents, and I did that like for a week, once in January and once in February, I was THAT poor, I had no solid food at all, just soup and bread, all day everyday for 7 days in a row. You know what I didn't do? I didn't gamble at that time. I am better now, I can eat normal food again at least, not rich or anything but not that poor anymore. So if these people did the same, they could do better too. |

Just winning in the FA Cup has never been guaranteed to have win in every game with Manchester United performance against Liverpool at the Old Trafford is impressive last time Liverpool won their game back in 2021 and after this they fail to win any game into their three attempts which is surely giving view how tough this rivalry is, and Manchester United will surely give their best again in coming game which is important for both teams.
Now after this international break things could be not on level due to many injuries even right now we have no updates about any player but still few clubs are going to suffer, and they will pay for this as well so we have to wait for few more days than clearly we will have all updates about all teams and clubs how they will be able to perform.
However at least it can be seen that Manchester United's performance is getting better, being able to do the same thing is not an easy thing and now Manchester United also has quite a lot of motivation to achieve positive results in order to continue competing to finish in the top 4 of the standings. After the international break there will be possibilities that the team will accept and that is quite normal, sometimes players return to the team with injuries and sometimes players return to the team with high self-confidence after performing well with their country and that will have a positive impact on team. Win against Liverpool is surely good and will increase their confidence but still things are they are inconsistent which is their main problem, and they needed good depth into their game for having better results consistently which are not coming even they are having few top quality players if they are able to have better results and things as they needed in last few rounds of this season then surely we can expect another good end for them which could be impressive and things can go favourable for the Ten Hag as well which are currently uncertain. Now after the international break we are expecting some changes due to injured players even currently nothing is clear but still few changes and decrease in performance can happen for the few teams which is surely going to have impact on their spots in league table. |
