Left big hole for Real Madrid after missing two great defender Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane because they have give more impressive performance for Real Madrid, now only got David Alaba and many still bigger problem for Real Madrid right now but still not any planning to get new player. I think not sure Real Madrid can speak more with La Liga or champion league.
Ancelotti will have a hard time building a team, training it to be coherent and efficient, it is kind of starting from 0 in the defence line mainly..
For the attack line, he has to decide whether it will be worthy to include Bale since Mbappe deal seems blocked and it appears to be the only contract Real Madrid is willing to achieve this summer..

Sure. Of course I have heard about these diseases and vaccines for them. But since you speak as a person who understands the issue, then do you really not see the difference? Those vaccines are strong and practically guarantee complete protection against the disease, and all covid vaccines are weak - they guarantee absolutely nothing. And this is the main problem with weak vaccines - they create the basis for new mutations because they do not completely kill the disease and its spread.
Mount Everest is the tallest so theoretically harder and more dangerous to climb, in fact K2 which is shorter, is worst to climb and more deadly.
Vaccine isn't invented to kill the virus, it just contains a part of it to allow our bodies to recognise it faster once it enters so our immune system will be prepared and effective. It is like knowing your enemy in advance in a battle so you can prepare yourself and build a better strategy. Weak/strong vaccines? It all depends from the virus itself, how fast it mutates and whether it is human only or can infect animals too. Eradicating a human only transmitted disease is possible but requires a lot of vaccination efforts and years, many years of patience.
Back to my first example about mountains, I just want to point that without studies and experiments, we will keep thinking what should look obvious, but in fact it is not.

Edit: I don't want to continue discussing this here since I feel we get off topic, personally I rarely talk about vaccination, everyone is free to do whatever they want, they just have to assume the consequences of their actions towards themselves, their families, their friends, colleagues, pregnant and fragile people that was on contact with them directly or indirectly.

To me, i see the Haaland situation as Dortmund refusing to sell up 2 core squad members in the same summer; it is not about the money involved, or the release clause in Haaland contract. It is about keeping the Dortmund squad competitive ahead of a new season.

On the other hand, the Player himself has shown no signs of wanting to leave, and ofcourse not to London. Dortmund would earn huge bucks from Haaland departure; either this summer or next summer
It is true that Haaland doesn't appear on rush to quit Dortmund as Mbappe on PSG but that doesn't mean that he wants to stay there until 2024 imo.
Dortmund is known to farm good players, I mean they pick future top players, make them stars then sell them and so on. They want to compete in European leagues, they want to have the Bundesliga title but they aren't spending a lot to do it.

According to rumors, Griezmann is ready to cut his salary if he remains in Barcelona. If he still has to leave, he wants to return to Atletico Madrid. But in my opinion he is not expected there. Atletico Madrid fans do not want to see him on the team. Griezmann did a great error going to Barcelona.

The negotiations between Atlético Madrid and Fc Barcelona are already going on about Griezman. Since Atlético knows that Fc Barcelona has some salary issues because of the cap and therefore want to get rid of Griezman, Atlético is trying to push the price down a lot, which Fc Barcelona also can't accept. Bad position for Barcelona here I would say.
Mathematics say, if Barca want to register the contract of its new players and Messi, they have 2 possibilities :
1- Get ride of Griezmann and his huge salary = beneficial for the club in terms of introduced money +/- sell other players.
2- Keep Griezmann but reduce his wage and other players salaries too +/- sell other players.
I don't see other solution for the club and ATM know this very well, that's why they try to grab him as cheap as possible!

Have you ever heard about Marek's disease (chicken)? And the history of vaccination against it? Vaccination has led to the emergence of stronger strains and now, without vaccination, birds are guaranteed to die (before vaccination, nothing like this happened). Please look for information about this and tell me your opinion (I will not give you links as I read about it in my native language).
As for India, I am sure that by the end of the year, despite this super terrible and super lethal strain and weak medicine in the country, we will not see any 7% of deaths (which were mentioned above) even close.

By the way, as a supporter of world vaccination, you must have heard that many countries do not accept each other's vaccines? For example, in mine, all vaccines are prohibited except for our local ones (which are shit).
I will start with the fact that countries not accepting each other vaccination. This is partially true and politically motivated. France (mainly) hates Russia and China so they were blocking the introduction of these vaccine in Europe. I will not deny that Russia didn't show the whole study to proof the efficiency of its vaccine but this was not the case for Chinese ones. They even attacked directly European countries that imported Russian/Chinese vaccines. Chinese one was accepted by WHO BTW..
To answer the first statement with an example as you did but applicable for human, how much vaccine we have until now for infectious diseases? It depends from countries for sure but many have dozen obligatory vaccines. Did you hear about smallpox? Polio?...etc
The virus mutate naturally so it is normal to find it mutating in vaccinated people and will continue to mutate until we stop its wide spread. If we can blame something for vaccination is the fact that contributed to the huge rise of World population and the shift of classic death from infectious diseases to cardiovascular ones. BTW KTChampions, I am not talking like that as an ordinary person but as someone who has enough experience in this field Smiley

This will be a very big blow to Real Madrid who actually thought Varane might change his mindset about leaving the club,to sign a contract since Ramos has already joined PSG.Varane is valued so highly at Madrid that they never wanted him to go,but now that reports are saying he's very close to a move to Man-U,it will really be a big blow to Madrid to have lost their two best defenders at a season.
Varan played well in conjunction with Ramos, and in matches when Ramos did not play, Varan played weak matches. So maybe Real doesn't value Varane as much as it seems at first glance.

And PSG with the purchase of Ramos certainly look comical, they buy everyone who has ever won in the Champions League, and for complete happiness they lack only Ronaldo and Zidane. Smiley
I don't want to say that Ramos is still a good defender only but a decent player although being old. Unfortunately he missed games last season and somehow dropped in performance but I think he will return as good as he used to be with PSG in CL games. For PSG, who said that they didn't think about CR7 & Zidane Tongue

^^ We have been trying to break $40k for at least 3x already and so far we have failed.

But I do hope that with the recent uptick on the price, this could be it. $38k has been broken, the pre-cursor of $40k. If we can broke it right now and then sustained a run, then definitely, $40k could be broken now. Crossing my fingers, this is a good start of the week and by the week end, hopefully that barrier is broken so that we can say that at least bull run has re-started again.
Bitcoin price on Preev right now is $40120 Wink
Now that's what I am talking about! The main thing to watch right now is to see more uprising and some stabilisation around $45k hopefully before passing to the next level.

If I had such an opportunity, I would have taken Ronaldinho to the team. The way he played, his play-style, his dribbling I still miss. I really love this player. I would have been fascinated by the pairing of Ronaldinho and Messi in Barcelona. Together these two had the ability to knock down any team's defense. Who would you choose?

Ronaldinho without any double, the best dribbler we have ever seen in this game.

Anyway, this should be the week for Locatelli to Juventus, the only player they will take IMHO.
I still enjoy watching his videos on YouTube from time to time, he was an impressive player, so yeah I pick him too.
For Locatelli, Sassuolo is asking for €40m which is offered by Arsenal but since the player wants to move to Juve then there will be more talks. Juve offered €30m (loan) which was rejected and now consider swap + cash. Hope they will not lose this deal Undecided
4570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The houses always win, are you the house or the gambler? on: July 25, 2021, 10:22:46 PM
The impression of gambling is to give plebs and others which may involve the option of winning through the unguaranteed chance and base on the OP question no gambler will ever be the house except those that invested in the house bankroll but it's not always profitable as people believe it to be because it also involves risk taking.
Indeed as someone who was at the same time a player and an investor in the house, I can confirm this. Here is my full investment history in Yolodice https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5254959.0
As a player, I won several times but was too greedy to stop few times which cost me a lot. Overall my stats were negative because I don't know when to stop.
As a small investor, well I passed by bad moments where my balance (and the house) was negative due to lucky dudes sucking a lot of coins. Fortunately those guys don't know when to stop also so they helped us to recover. Others kept winning and made other investors and the house bleeding.

But now they have lower rates of illness and death, despite the fact that there are practically no restrictions and there is no compulsion to vaccinate.
Mass vaccination, as you suggest, is really a joke. It will never be real given the fact that many will never agree to it for reasons of principle.

By the way, there is a theory that if a vaccine kills the original virus, then it contributes to the emergence of new, heavier strains, as it opens the way for them.
Coronavirus: Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf says coronavirus approach 'has failed'
Sweden’s failed COVID strategy leaves the country deeply divided
It all depends on how strong a country medical structure is, in terms of hospitals, oxygen beds...etc
If you switch Sweden by any other country with weak healthcare system, the result will be more disastrous and we all saw how catastrophic the situation was in India although they taken several restrictions measures...
I agree that being vaccinated doesn't mean there will be no more mutation, that's why I insist that a massive vaccination is the only solution to stop this shit. Otherwise it will be a 6 - 12 months vaccination for years...
BTW vaccine doesn't kill the virus, our strengthen immune system does.

everyone expects bitcoin in this week to break through $ 40,000 and the reality is now still between $ 30,000 - $ 34,000. the rate of decline is not too painful for investors, everyone's expectations seem to be fulfilled and hopeful.
will this hope last? Or is bitcoin even more painful for investors in the future?
Bitcoin price will break this level for sure, it is a matter of time. Look to the positive aspect, the price increased by $5k in few days and kept quite stable. Huge fluctuations aren't good but a healthy and stable recover is always welcome.
4574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 25, 2021, 04:08:05 PM
The Covid outbreak continues to scare Serie A. In England they have decided that those who have not get a jab will not play, end of story: this is the rule imposed by the Football Association that has set October 1 as the deadline. In Italy there is great tension on the issue: 15 positive cases in Spezia and 6 in Empoli have created new fears. In both teams there are players who have not taken the drug. Empoli President Corsi has decided to interrupt the retreat and allow the players involved to go home to avoid further spreading.
Very complicated story.
Honestly, I find FA decisions logic and good. Absentees due to covid ruined many games in barely all leagues in the previous season and the pandemic ruined football since most games were without spectators..
I would like to see this imposed by UEFA and to accept 100% vaccinated spectators in the stadium, the Czech way in EURO.
4575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 25, 2021, 04:02:10 PM
If Haaland doesn't sell this year and Dortmund doesn't extend his contract, his contract expires next year. BvB Dortmund could lose a football star like Haaland for free with no revenue. They are also aware of this. So if the contract cannot be renewed, it would be more profitable for them to sell it.
Haaland contract expires in June 2024 but he can quit Dortmund next year after paying €75m.
I read Chelsea offered around €150m to Dortmund, accept it or leave it, I think it is a golden chance for Dortmund otherwise they will lose him next year most probably for half that number!

I don't think liverpool needs a New signing, they need new mental state, they were very luck to have been in the UEFA champions league spot, I think that's an encouragement for them, they still have some unused talented players who hasn't displayed, Thiago hasn't really replicated his skills at Baryern Munich in Liverpool, maybe a second season is the charm for him. That said I think the favorite team for me to win next seasons premier league is Chelsea, they have the hottest players in the league and the coach has manned the team up well.
They need to have less injuries and good substitutes. Liverpool failed hard in the previous season due to these facts in addition to lack of concentration of their main squad including Mane and Salah.. Looking forward for Klopp to fix this otherwise his adventure with LFC might end badly.
4577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You got a pifzer ? Then you can be eligible for lottery in Poland. on: July 25, 2021, 03:48:49 PM
To be honest, I don't really trust all these findings, and strange that their sharp surge began after vaccines were invented and began to be widely used. In the first year of the pandemic, nothing like this was observed. This prompts certain thoughts. At the moment, the newest strain is very actively infecting vaccinated people, I do not really understand the meaning of vaccination in this case.
I am looking forward to the development of events with interest, but it seems to me that humanity will have to return to the Swedish model (early) and just survive covid like the flu.
Wrong. The Swedish model is a big failure, the death rate is 3x World's mean and even politicians there admitted their mistake.
Herd immunity alone is a joke and will never be achievable with this virus since every damn mutation might infect people again and again. I know many people who was contaminated twice and thrice and yes symptoms aren't mild in all cases.
To resolve this problem once for all, ALL countries have to achieve +90% vaccination coverage in few weeks. Like that the risk of having a new mutant will be very low and we can get ride of it. Otherwise we will keep living with +50% "features" locked!
BTW Poland made a clever way to encourage people getting the shots, other countries are giving money...
4578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 25, 2021, 12:23:49 AM
Is it true that Chelsea really want this player in the summer transfer market? They really have to spend a lot of money to get this player and even then it depend on how they seduce Dortmund to sell him. Looking at the statistics of this player, it seems that Barcelona are also interested in getting him to replace the aging Messi. LOL

It is like imaginating a broke businessman wants to buy Apple or Microsoft! Barcelona is struggling to sign couple of players for less than half the price asked by Dortmund for Haaland, how they could even show interest to getting him in lol.
I saw a question here about Lukaku or Haaland. If the difference between them is less than 25-30m then I pick Haaland.

Haha oh my god, anyone saw the results for Schalke against Hamburg? The Schalke guys continue they way they played the whole last season. It would be really funny to see Schalke lose the first five or six games. They would get so nervous, probably starting the plans for third league! Cheesy
Why I was not surprised to see such poor results because simply I was expecting it that clown mode button is still ON in Schalke setting. They will fight for the top bottom position this season too tho...
The schedule for the 2. Bundesliga war already published. The opening game will be held between Hamburger SC and Schalke 04.
-snip-
Why Schalke 0 is so lucky to always start the first game? Will they continue playing in clown mode and receive 8 eggs again or did they improved? I see they made some transfer and get back some loaned players without getting any one new in the attack line.
The other game Bremen finished 1-1 vs Hanovre.

According to some rumours, Juventus have some plans for Antoine Griezmann. If Ronaldo leaves Juventus, they are thinking of taking Griezmann on loan with an option to buy him. I wonder what Barcelona are thinking about this. Griezmann had a really productive year. He scored 13 goals and made 8 assists in 36 La Liga games. He is 30 years old now. He's still one of the most important players for Barcelona. So, I think they wouldn't be too much willing to send him to another club nowadays.
I am afraid that Barcelona may not be satisfied with just renting a player, even if a transfer for sale may follow later.
Barcelona has to get ride of many players as soon as possible and they might consider every possible way to do it in order to sign new players and renew Messi contract, even thought they said they are not considering to loan but to sell him this summer.
Well, I see Barcelona staff didn't learn anything about respecting their players and what Fernandes reported showed exactly 0 respect for him. The guy got fired by email, exactly a message asking him if he has always that email, then bye.
