It is their financial ability that makes Paris Saint Germain very strong in Ligue 1. They don't think much when it comes to signing star players they don't even hesitate to spend a lot of money to get those players. Regarding Mbappe, yes, maybe he was a little over the top when he gave him very special treatment, that also made it a little difficult for him to control himself because he realized he was special. But it must be admitted that what he showed with his national team was extraordinary.
I also think that Paris Saint Germain's dominance will be very difficult to stop, unless there is a club that has the ability like Paris Saint Germain, especially in finance.
If we have same management in future no one going to challenge PSG because they are spending money without any hesitation, and they have enough funds which can give them good advantage so things looking good with Mbappé is also again at his best with his performance in world cup and Messi is also going to stay here for some more time which will give them good power and chance to win Champions League.
 
Now they are going to face Bayern Munich which is also strong but sadly due to injuries now having issues which will prevent them from having spot into last eight of Champions League in next round, even still it's never been easy for PSG because we have Manchester City and few more tough teams in competition.
I think as long as some other rich people don't invest in Ligue 1 clubs then things like this won't change because it's likely to become like the bundesliga with the hegemony of Bayern.
Even though in the previous 2 seasons there was Lille who was able to break it off but now there will be no one who can for that, regardless of anything resources are everything and PSG are too different from other clubs.

The match is still long enough because it will be held in February so the current injury doesn't necessarily have an impact but it could also be the other way around. There are several possibilities that could occur.

I personally feel that Ronaldo is becoming over desirous to achieve what he had already achieved. The only trophy that would have been given Ronaldo a very hard time should be the World Cup. Although he cried very well when he was eliminated from the World Cup. Apart from the World Cup what else does he need?
The debate about the ''Greatest of all time" in soccer was one of the best things in soccer for a long time now, more than a decade. I personally appreciate Ronaldo for his efforts and his achievements over the years that cannot be ignored. He didn't win the world cup to win the argument that he is the real GOAT, but it was exciting seeing him and Messi play and be compared to one another, there will never be any duo like them in soccer. Ronaldo has nothing else to prove, he should take things easy on himself and begin to come to terms with his age and fact that he will need to retire soon from playing soccer in general.
For me Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still GOATs, regardless of Cristiano Ronaldo's failure to win a trophy at this World Cup. Indeed, many are now saying that the debate over who GOAT is actually over after Messi managed to bring Argentina to victory in Qatar.
I think it's too naive to say that just because one of them didn't get what they didn't get, the fact is that they have been football icons even for a very long time, and until now they still exist in the world of football as professional players.
Messi and Ronaldo will always be the best in their different ways of doing it.

In the next 9 days, we will witness La Liga rolling again. And the most awaited is the competition between the 2 clubs who are now in positions 1 and 2, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their competition will be even more interesting to watch this season, because the fight for the championship will not be as easy as last season where Real Madrid could comfortably claim the championship without any obstacles that made them difficult. However this season will be very different as Barcelona have started to re-find the form they have lost in the last few seasons.
Atletico Madrid also did not go unnoticed after their recent decline. Many have questioned how this club will travel in the future, as well as their coach, Diego Simeone, is the subject of discussion.

Mbappe is an important player at PSG because PSG is also a team based in France, I see the French president pampered Mbappe too much and made him a golden boy. now each of the players competing in the world cup, be it messi or mbappe, have returned to their respective places, it's been a great journey in the world cup, and not until a month, ligue 1 starts again, i'm sure PSG will continue to maintain their dominance they are in ligue 1.
PSG's dominance in Ligue1 is still there and will continue to shine as long as there are still the best players in PSG like the two players you mentioned and even this year Mbappe has been named the top scorer in the world cup so that will obviously make PSG very happy. Because they have players like Mbappe, it's only natural that the French president spoils Mbappe too much after seeing the achievements Mbappe has made for France and PSG.
It is their financial ability that makes Paris Saint Germain very strong in Ligue 1. They don't think much when it comes to signing star players they don't even hesitate to spend a lot of money to get those players.

Barcelona could have won in the playoffs later, but the question is. what will Xavi apply, if he still doesn't fix his army. I'm sure Barcelona will find it difficult to meet Manchester United in the playoffs later.

Barcelona's performance is not stable yet. There are many star players in the team. However, Xavi is still struggling to stabilize the team. Barcelona is going to face Manchester United in the first match of the Europa League. Manchester United team is still not stable. Their performance is weaker than Barcelona's. And so I think Barcelona will probably be able to win against Manchester United. However, Xavi's main goal now is the La Liga title. However, Xavi will surely form his best squad in the Europa League matches.
If testing stability, then the stability of Manchester United and Barcelona is still in trouble. But that's exactly what we want to see, how are their preparations before they actually meet in the match later. They have not one or two weeks but months, so that should be enough to make them more stable and more prepared. I hope the biggest match of the play-off round did not disappoint, which meant that both clubs showed their abilities to the maximum and made the match very interesting. Because they are 2 big clubs that are expected to be the favorites for anyone who can move on to the next round in this European League. Xavi Hernandez and Erik Ten Hag will be tested in this match.

This is will be too bad for dortmund if it is true,  dortmund has always have the nature of selling their best players.  They don't care to know if they need this players , them selling their best players is affecting their performance to win trophies.
If that's what they consider, it means that Dortmund doesn't really aim for trophies every season so they are still considering selling their best players to other teams when there are very tempting offers. The point is that Dortmund are only concerned with money for themselves without thinking about the careers of their players. Obviously this is very unfortunate because Dortmund should have kept the best players to win trophies, not just wanting to earn money from selling the best players.

Dortmund's goal was never to become champions of the Bundesliga. They just want to do business and make a lot of money by selling players. If Dortmund's goal was to win the title, they wouldn't have sold Haaland. They would keep Haaland in the team and try to strengthen their squad. But they don't do it. The main player of their squad this season is Sébastien Haller. I think the Dortmund management will make a lot of money by selling Sébastien Haller within the next two seasons.
This concerns their management which makes Borussia Dortmund always take actions like that. It makes perfect sense with what they are doing that Borussia Dortmund don't intend to win the title, but I don't see the same thing in other clubs, because other clubs are competing to win titles. This is very strange in my opinion. How can one club not want to be champions when they have everything it takes to make it happen.
I think if we want to see Borussia Dortmund win then we have to see a change in management first. It is very unfortunate for the players who are part of them when they have to become victims of the business they run.

It is reported that Manchester United are interested in the French national team player Antoine Griezmann, yes they want Griezmann again after he performed well and brought France to the final, even though in the final France was defeated by Argentina in a penalty shootout which ended a few hours ago. Even though Antoine Griezmann got a new role at the World Cup, he succeeded in playing his new role. Actually, this is not the first time that Manchester United are interested in this player, because a few years ago Manchester United also tried to bring in this player, but Griezmann prefers to stay in La Liga.
This news is already busy now and it seems that Griezmann is one of the targets after Gakpo, Dumfries and a number of other players who are being rumored with Manchester United now.
In fact, Griezmann had also been rumored in 2017, but this was hindered by an Atletico Madrid shopping embargo so they failed, but it seems there is other interest at the moment following Griezmann's good performance in this world cup.
Griezmann's last few matches in the world cup have been quite good, especially when he played against Morocco in the semi-finals.
In this case I heard something else about Manchester United checking the 2017 transfer agreement where it was said that Griezmann had agreed personal terms with the striker before moving to Old Trafford at that time it was just hampered by the Atletico Madrid shopping embargo so now there are rumors about a clause agreement personally may be recovered.

Is to fill Ronaldo place?
Such a possibility especially in this case they also still need players who can fill Ronaldo's vacant position but again this is still about rumors and now apart from Griezmann there are also many players who have been linked with Manchester United.

The world cup is over and can't wait to see the Spanish league restart later on December 29, there is the opening game between Girona against Rayo Valecano. Broadly speaking Rayo Valecano have the upper hand, but this time they have to go to home to Girona and this is definitely quite difficult. But if Rayo Valecano can win in this match they will move up to the top 5 of the standings.
On paper, Rayo Vallecano is the favorite in this clash, but that doesn't mean it will be an automatic win for them. Girona is also on a good run, it's just that the increase had to stop because of the break that occurred. Girona will maximize their first match in La Liga, as well as Rayo Vallecano, they definitely want to boost their position in the standings by winning this match. This match will be held at Montilivi which is the headquarters of Girona, the hosts definitely don't want them to be embarrassed in front of their own fans and will show their best.

AC Milan - Tottenham Hotspur is an even battle when the match is played in Milan. About the diptych it seems to me that Tottenham is the favorite to go through to the next round. AC Milan lost 2x without a chance against Chelsea in the group stage. A lot of spectacle is expected at PSG - Bayern Munich, but they have their own battle to fight on the field. Bayern Munich has a strong team, but has not really been able to convince in its own competition despite a 1st place. The competition in France is no longer a challenge for PSG, all arrows will be aimed at winning the CL.
AC Milan and Tottenham both have the opportunity to beat each other. This will be one of the more interesting matches to watch apart from the big matches like Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid vs Liverpool. These two clubs both have the same material quality of players if we look at it now and also their performances in the domestic league are also worth considering. I want to see their game first after returning from a long break, because maybe in that break they will experience changes. Who is more prepared and consistent after this break then that club will have a higher chance in my opinion.
6671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 18, 2022, 07:54:19 PM
After the world cup ends, it will usually be followed by a big transfer market for big clubs and it seems that Chelsea are still not satisfied with getting another player to shine at the 2022 world cup. After the departure of the previous owner Roman Abramovich, of course there will be major repairs and funds given to Graham Potter to shop players of course very much.
the English league has a lot of wealthy teams, so they do player shopping without hesitation even in January we will see MU, Chelsea and others spend their money back to strengthen their team

Pulisic continues to be linked with MU, I wonder if the transfer will become a reality in January
Rich clubs, I underline this, because money is one of the factors where clubs will develop very rapidly and that's what happened in the Premier League. Let's call it Newcastle now, after they had a new owner who made the club's finances more stable, this affected their appearance in the League. Now they prove it by occupying the 3rd place in the table. I don't know how long they will last in that ranking, but this is an improvement that they have shown after having a new owner.
Even in the transfer market, clubs that have a lot of money will not hesitate to spend budgets on the players they want. Plus if they are not in good shape, it will make them hunt for players who have a very high market value.

Amazing match, exceptional teams, and a wonderful atmosphere. Both teams deserve a big round of applause. I'm sensing the first goal of France would be a disaster for Argentina, it seems by a few matches back, we can see a conceded goal at a crucial time will make Argentina lose its momentum. In the end, we can see France make its tied of the game.

The extra time is truly a remarkable point of the match, both teams truly have a winner mentality until the end of time. Tough luck for France, Argentina truly deserved it. Personally, I'm happy for Messi to accomplish this prestige championship. He truly deserved it. What a time to be alive to see such kind of player.
To be honest, at first I thought this match would not be as interesting as this, I mean when Argentina could be 2 goals ahead in the first half and also I saw that France's game was not as usual in the first half, they made a lot of unnecessary mistakes. However they were able to change their style of play in the second half and Mbappe made the difference in this game scoring 2 goals in normal time and 1 goal in 15 minutes of second added-time. Yes, this is a very interesting final when entering the second round. Messi and Mbappe are truly outstanding players.
I congratulate Argentina for winning the Qatar 2022 World Cup and this is a sweet gift given by Messi at the end of his career.
Argentina and France really set the tone for the final as it should, what a spectacle at the end of the competition.

A cashless society seems impossible as of the moment. There are still countries lacking behind when it comes to technology and individuals who isn't that techie. Additionally, there's still people who prefer using cash in a daily basis/transactions. To turn a cashless society into reality, poverty along with corruption must be solved first. That's one of the reason why other countries and individuals can't advance or hard to adapt in constant changes.


Right, it's impossible to replace cash with other systems such as cryptocurrencies, it's inconceivable if we want a transaction worth $ 10 but the transaction fee is more than $ 10, moreover the transaction fees during peak sessions are so expensive that it makes people continue to use cash, besides that another factor is the country can be easy to control cash than decentralized system.
We must be aware that the existence of Crypto is not to replace money and as for money, both in the form of fiat and paper money, it remains a legal means of payment, it's just that if btc can be an alternative there, then that can be a good thing. Being an alternative does not mean replacing.
As long as we are currently on the same step, money will still apply, especially paper money, in this case they are actually always the most reliable means of payment, especially for some small areas that are rarely touched by fiat.

Worse, nowadays it is harder to find loyal players like Alex Del Piero, Gigi Buffon who shown their love to the club by sacrificing one season in Serie B with them. Nowadays, players are more interested in money, high salary and winning titles. They don't have much loyalty for a club they are playing.

If Vlahovic leaves Juventus, it would be a start of a domino effect. Other star players will leave and I am sure many big clubs around Europe welcome those players.

If the stars of Juventus actually leave it is going to be very problematic because they have just started to win matches consistently. And if they leave, of course, Juventus might not be able to find loyal players. And there are a lot of clubs better than Juventus. Why are the players willing to stay at Juventus knowing that there is some shady business going on?

And right now there is nothing that Juventus can actually show new players so that they will come to the club. And don't worry about the players because there are always going to be a lot of clubs looking for talent and experience.
It's difficult with the current conditions now, especially seeing the problems that hit them, of course it's difficult to retain players, especially if they are proven to have made a mistake. I think there will be some changes if they are found guilty because I still feel that not a single star player ends up in a lower tier game and this could happen if Juventus are found guilty and are forcibly relegated.

Forget about the past players you say, focus on retaining current players because this is even better, especially since there are rumors that Vlahovic is also rumored to be close to several new clubs now.

Some shitcoiners do believe that they are "investing" in their shitcoin, so they believe that they are "in it" for the long term.. and even try to apply the same principles (such as DCAing into their positions) like is good for an investment like bitcoin but may well not be a very good idea for an overwhelming majority of shitcoins.
It's funny that wishing for something even so hard would likely be impossible in this case.
They are still naive if they do it with shitcoin, and even use the DCA system there? hel this is really they are too confident with that stuff lol

I think such actions are a waste of energy, time and of course money and it would be very strange if someone still did this in the hope that they would benefit from their shitcoin.

6676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 18, 2022, 09:43:33 AM

For now, there isn't but let's wait for the coming play if this long rest has proven a good rest for the other team, and did you see the list of injuries Bayern Munich has now not only Manuel Neuer that will definitely miss many games because his expected return will be on June 30, 2023, Marcel Sabitzer also has proven that he is also a vital player for the team, that has a yellow card suspension and may return on February 23, 2023, and Sadio Mane and right now there is no further information on when he will return for Bayern Munich or if he can compete for the world cup as Senegal's forward, right now it is a big problem because Both Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane is a tandem Bayern Munich fans love to watch, and for Senegal that really needs Mane to be there, So if there is no given date for Sadio Mane's return it will always be a crucial game for Bayern Munich,


I think that in this case an injury is not something that is difficult for Bayern to overcome, especially now that they are also preparing to look for options when Neuer is confirmed to be out for the next 3 months.
The problem in the Bundesliga actually lies not in injuries or anything, but in fact it is the differences in the strength of the clubs that have an effect.
Currently Bayern is always on top and that is quite natural because they are at a different level so it is very difficult for other clubs to balance their dominance so inevitably the hegemony will continue.
6677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 18, 2022, 09:00:08 AM

Balance in a club will be very important, they cannot rely on just one player, if that's the case then be prepared for the decline they will experience. Manchester City is now in a condition where the players are playing optimally and the chemistry between them has also been formed, they just need to maintain and further improve what they have shown at this time. Currently, Erling Haaland has undoubtedly become a goal machine for Manchester City, but he did not get it on his own, in the sense that other players also played a big role in his success so far.
They have an extraordinary coach, so we can see that Manchester City is very solid, the players they have are also very promising. Something that is continuous with one another.

I think Manchester City does a good job. Because they rely on Erling Haaland only for goals. The others supply the ball to him and he is trusted to do the finishing job. And he’s doing the job quite well. I think Manchester City have excellent teamwork. The problem is that during certain matches they are not being able to perform as they should. Just like the match against Liverpool. Liverpool was not in very good shape, but Manchester City still lost against Liverpool.

I also agree that Erling Haaland is the most successful or at least one of the most successful transfers that Manchester City have made recently. At least this is far better compared to what they did when they brought in Jack Grealish for 100 million.
The speed of the players on the wings and the accuracy of the passing driven by De Bruyne in the midfield are clearly very good so that Haaland is quite free in attack as a targetman.
This is a very brilliant strategy from Pep because he knows what he needs in his current squad.
As for Haaland, obviously this is a good transfer for Manchester City, it's not wrong to wait almost 2 seasons to get this young player because indeed it has paid off now and the results have been pretty good so far. With Haaland in the City attack everything is more complex for them.

superstitious people are usually like this, they think their mood/emotion will affect the result of the game they are betting on. that being said, while moods do not affect the result of the game, a change of mood or being too emotional can affect the way you gamble. I mean being moody can make someone decide something that they don't normally do when they gamble and it throws off how they usually gamble.
Well, the mood will not change the outcome of the game, but the mood will have an impact on how we play. I often feel this way when playing, it means that our mood influences the game. Emotional is part of the mood, many people say don't play with emotions, because the results will be very bad. This means that metaphysics or superstition is not put forward here, but rather how we get carried away while playing.
Mood is something different in my opinion, we must pay attention to this when playing, so that we are not carried away by bad moods when playing.

Maybe these are different events, but if you look at what happened, there is a connection. In fact, we should have been alert even before what we heard about Binance today. Things like this don't make us panic that causes us to make the wrong steps.
The demise of FTX also has many roles played by the CEO of CZ, and that will invite many who don't like binance to come and create FUD.
6680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 17, 2022, 07:15:56 PM
But in reality Manchester City only depends on Erling Haaland who has the nickname Walking Robot because indeed Erling Haalang's expertise when on the field is able to control the ball and control the ball quickly and if there is no full supervision then Erling Haaland will score many goals, the defense of each team is indeed there will always be the potential to be penetrated by opponents, all that needs to be done is good teamwork to strengthen the defense.
Only relying on Erling Haaland would be a big mistake for Manchester City, the success of a team is not measured by one or two individuals. Teamwork is needed and supported by the strategy implemented by the coach. Since the arrival of Erling Haaland to the Etihad stadium, Manchester City goal productivity has increased. Pep Guardiola certainly relies heavily on Erling Haaland as a killer in front of the opponent's goal, but Guardiola must have a plan B if Haaland is locked in by opposing players.
Haaland was the most successful transfer made by Manchester City before the season started, the money spent by Manchester City was not comparable to Haaland contribution while he was part of the Manchester City squad.

Yes, I also agree with @Raflesia, that Manchester City have a really talented and well-rounded squad right now. In the attic, they have the lethal Erling Haaland as well as Julian Alvarez as his backup.

In recent times, we have seen that Álvarez has been playing really well with Argentina in the World Cup. Moreover, I think they have a really solid midfield composition consisting of Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva. I think their backline also seems ok.

Overall I do not think they need to invest in a player right now. I think what they can do is they can buy younger talent so they can nourish them for the future.
