VAR is still being judged by humans, which is why it still leaves a lot of problems in many football matches. For the club that is disadvantaged, of course it is very annoying, but the opposite is true for the club that benefits.
Maybe it is like that, because I also feel that the result is already determined and only the referee and the person involved will be punished. Points will remain the same and the match will not be repeated. But it was still Barcelona's loss.
Talking about Lamine Yamal, Barcelona must be prepared to lose this talented young player because it is reported that PSG has prepared fantastic funds to buy this player.
Regarding Yamal, he is Barcelona's best asset should he stay. Remember there is a release clause that is quite expensive for Yamal if not mistaken €1 billion. If Yamal leaves, it will make Barcelona even weaker.
I think if Lamine Yamal leaves, it doesn't seem like it will have a big impact on Barcelona's performance because after all, so far Lamine Yamal has only been linked with potential young players. But in reality, Lamine Yamal doesn't always make a big contribution to Barcelona's performance in every match. Therefore, if there is such a big clause for Lamine Yamal's move, then I think it would be good to restore Barcelona's finances a little. So yes, because of course Barcelona will get fresh funds, I don't think it will be a big problem if Lamine Yamal really leaves next season, because of course Barcelona can get other better players, of course.

I agree with you. Even if Lamine Yamal leaves Barcelona, we will not see any impact on Barcelona's gameplay. Lamine Yamal is a talented player. However, he has not been performing with the Barcelona squad for a long time. Even the Barcelona team is not dependent on Lamine Yamal's performance. Lamine Yamal is still a young player. Keeping Lamine Yamal in the squad could have benefited Barcelona in the future. He might become a star player in the future. However, considering the recent performance, Lamine Yamal's departure from Barcelona will not have much impact on Barcelona's performance.

Delhi Capital   VS  Gujrat Titans

Today's IPL match will be played between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans. There is no doubt that today's match will also be very competitive. Because the performance of both teams is still quite erratic.

But interestingly, the Gujarat team suffered a humiliating defeat in the previous match against Delhi. Gujarat Dr. Netri set a target of 90 runs. The team batted very badly. Delhi got a very easy win in the match. Delhi team reached the target of victory in 8.5 overs.

But I don't think today's match will be similarly one-sided. Gujarat has a strong squad. In today's match, they will definitely want to avenge their previous defeat.

Frosinone was able to take a point against Torino. That was a little surprising to me, to be honest. Because Torino is definitely a lot better compared to Frosinone. I think everybody expected Torio to win this match. But the match was actually close and not like it was easy for Torino to keep the possession throughout the whole match or even throughout the majority of it.

But to some extent, this also makes sense because Frosinone is trying to get out of the relegation zone. So it is understandable if they are trying really hard to get as many points as they can even against better opponents. But whatever it is, it was definitely unexpected.  Frosinone has not lost since the last four matches. There is a chance that they will actually get out of the relegation zone.  It does not seem like Torino is actually going to finish any better than the mid table.
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin transactions fees gone high and will be be increasing day by day? on: April 22, 2024, 01:44:04 PM
I have already asked my question on the title but I also want to mention here do you thing that BRC20, and NFT on bitcoin blockchain are one of the cause of it ?
And is it possible for any whale to make some make some intentionally spam on bitcoin network ? Or do you think it a weak point of bitcoin ?
I would like to add to what has been said here that the high Bitcoin transaction fees can be caused by congestion and the large number of tokens with their respective names being minted which can be seen here -> https://ordiscan.com/runes
If I consider the high Bitcoin transaction fees to be Bitcoin's weak point, I will not agree directly because transaction fees do not occur all the time except in situations like the current one.
You have to be sure that transaction fees will return to normal and won't be like this forever which can disrupt many services and businesses.

But have you ever thought of a scenario where the price of bitcoin increases, the popularity of bitcoin grows larger, and the demand for bitcoin also increases over time? That will certainly also lead to higher transaction fees. Slow transaction confirmation times and non-scalable blocks are bitcoin's weaknesses, and it's not something new. Bitcoin is not perfect and we need to accept that fact, do not stubbornly think that bitcoin is so perfect that it has no disadvantages.

If the developers don't come up with any solution to fix this, you'll see bitcoin transaction fees go even higher than they are now in the coming years as trading volume increases.
85  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Runes will be worthless. Don't waste your precious BTC on huge fees. on: April 22, 2024, 01:14:36 PM


A buyer will want to buy the cheapest one, so it will make the seller to keep decrease the price in order to attract the buyer. Sooner or later, Runes will be worthless.




But the opposite scenario can also happen, if someone uses a large amount of money to bump prices, and people will not want to miss out and they will Fomo to buy at a higher price.

Yes, eventually all these things will go away and no one wants to talk about them but in the near future, they won't go away anytime soon because someone made the game and they won't stop anytime soon until they make enough profit. By the way, if you check bitcoin transaction fees, they are decreasing, I see things cooling down and maybe RUNEs will end soon.
86  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everyone is celebrating about the fourth halving but what is this? on: April 21, 2024, 01:14:52 PM


I wonder who are these people because they are ready to get the piece of useless things at whatever cost, they have some kind of money growing plants to waste money on these things?

Some of the memes on RUNE became trash but some became valuable and as far as I know one of them was quite successful, it was the Satoshi token and it was listed on Gate. Similar to the BRC-20 wave, many tokens will become worthless but there are also tokens with a market capitalization of over billions of dollars such as ORDI or Sats and they are being traded on leading exchanges Binance. In terms of practical application, they are really as useless as other altcoins but they can be used as a money game, and those who take advantage of it will make decent profits.
87  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will Happen to crypto market after Bitcoin halving?? on: April 21, 2024, 01:06:26 PM
Even a newbie like you can predict that bitcoin will have a big dump after the halving and before the big bull season arrives. If everyone is waiting for this and still hasn't decided to buy bitcoin, do you think the market makers and sharks will please the crowd? They will sell their bitcoins to retail investors like us who buy them, then they will bump the price so we can sell the bitcoins back to them at a high price. Are they that kind and is the bitcoin market really predictable?

What will happen to the market after the halving, I dare say that no one will know, mate.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Runes push fees as high as 900/vbyte or $196 US on: April 21, 2024, 12:53:30 PM
Complain does not help anything for us in our practice. We have to switch to other blockchains for our fund transfers when Bitcoin mempools are continuing to be spammed by Ordinals and Runes.

I believe these spam waves will come and go but it takes time for them to be resolved block by block and hypes on Ordinals, Runes become less and there will be less demands from them on Bitcoin transactions. It's certainly that we have to adapt to live with Ordinals and Runes so we must have other plans for fund transfers.

It's true to say Bitcoin blockchain during these attacks, are not helpful for the poor with small fund and even for the rich, if they are smart, they will not waste their precious satoshi for very expensive transaction fee.

I think adaptation is something we all need to accept because even if the wave of BRC and RUNE passes there is no guarantee that a new concept will not be created and we will continue to fall into this situation. I have a feeling that someone wants bitcoin to be a game for the rich, they want to take the poor out of the game. Surely retail investors will not only feel uncomfortable but they will soon look for alternatives and altcoins will be their choice.

There have been several threads in the past questioning whether bitcoin like gold and real estate, will become a game for those with a lot of money, and I see that becoming a reality.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: April 20, 2024, 05:19:20 PM
It's always like that since klopp was underestimating their opponents. Liverpool deserves it since they did it very wrong by using the secondary squad to battle against atalanta which is really unacceptable thing for sure. I was expecting klopp to always used the full squads in any of european league match but it was wrong about it.
So, they deserved leave from europa league even early.
I don't think Klopp underestimated Liverpool opponent but he has to rotate their players when the season comes to the end and he saw his players were tired a little bit.

A bigger problem and weakness of Klopp is his ambition and failure to control it. He has to choose what is a biggest target of Liverpool in this season, Premier League or Europa League. By don't know what is most important competition, he wanted to win both and rotate his players for both competitions. By don't use best players for matches in Premier League and Europa League, Liverpool got defeats in latest matches and now they are out of Europa League while in Premier League, their chance to win the title is very small.

Well the bigger thing is, Liverpool is out of the Europa league competition and this gives Leverkusen a big chance to win the Europa league. Of course nobody knows if they will actually be able to do it or not. It might very well happen that they have played so well throughout the whole season and somehow losethe Europa league matches at this stage. But I think it is very unlikely that it will happen. And I am actually very unhappy with the Liverpool fans. They are showing a lot of club in my opinion. This is the last season. This season has definitely been a big upgrade of performance for Liverpool. And now when they are unable to perform well, the fans leave the stadium early. That’s just disrespect.
90  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you stopped using bitcoin for small transactions completely ? on: April 19, 2024, 12:20:37 PM
Instead I find myself using Dogecoin & Litecoin more frequently -- fees are almost nil so sometimes it makes sense to do a conversion, especially if an exchange is gonna charge you an arm and a leg for withdrawing BTC.
With you examples, I understand that you want to use Proof of Work altcoins as your alternatives for Bitcoin. You don't mention any Smart contract altcoin and I can feel that you don't like them. I agree with your practice too because using Proof of Work altcoins is safer than Smart contract altcoins.

With Smart contracts, your altcoins can be frozen even you store them in your non custodial wallets. Blockchains and transactions can be rolled back by centralized teams and smart contracts too.

PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

But no one will have time to freeze your account if you don't have too much money and that money is related to money laundering, hacking...even centralized exchanges, they will not freeze your account for no reason if you comply with their regulations. I see many people like to buy bitcoin, USDT or altcoins of unknown origin outside at cheap prices then switch to exchanges and immediately their accounts are locked. They started spreading negativity on social networks but they did not admit that they bought bitcoins from hacked sources.
91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't Altcoin a distraction to Bitcoin adoption? on: April 19, 2024, 12:08:47 PM
Like many previous ETFs topics, people always question ETFs, some think it will have a negative impact on Bitcoin and don't like the appearance of ETFs...but the problem is we can't do anything to prevent it. So it really is a waste of time when we spend time talking about things we cannot change. And in my opinion, the existence of Altcoins will have a positive and negative impact on bitcoin, and what we need to do is adapt to it because we won't be able to do anything to change that even when we don't like it.

I'm not against predicting or speculating on the impact of new things like ETFs could have on the price and Bitcoin as a whole. And I'm all in favour of trying to identify any future threats that ETFs or altcoins can pose to Bitcoin, so we can maybe act to prevent such etc. But asking whether Bitcoin would be better off if no altcoins ever existed is a pointless thought exercise at best with no value to it. Unless people get entertained by having such discussions, then it's OK I guess.
I also don't object to people speculating or spending time discussing the negative impact of ETFs or altcoins because I can't stop people from doing that. What I'm saying is that it's a waste of time because we have no way to stop them even if they have a negative impact on bitcoin. Just like altcoins, as many people say it is negatively impacting bitcoin, what are you going to do to stop that? Do you have any way to stop the development and growth of ETH? Or BNB and even shitcoin? Is there any way to stop people from creating them every day? I prefer adaptation to resistance.

Tomorrow evening there will be a very important game for Frankfurt when they play against Augsburg.
For not lose there place on the international spot Frankfurt have to win this game to be good , only 3 points difference to Augsburg.
It will be a hard game but i think that Frankfurt can make it at home and will win that match.
Frankfurt is bad in their recent matches, they win just one match in their last five matches, which means they are not consistent and they are in their last five matches; unlike Augsburg that is a bit consistent because they three and drew one in their last five matches.

On the other hand, if you check the last five matches they played against each others, they both win one matches each and drew three, which makes it a bit normal match and it will be hard to predict, but from all indications, it will be a draw match.

Frankfurt have lost the last four points. Although Aufsburg is not a strong team, the performance of the team is slightly better than Frankfurt. But I would say that the status of both these teams is similar now. So it is difficult to say which team will win this match.

Augsburg performed well in their last match against Union Berlin and won. However, they lost their previous two matches against Hoffenheim and Koln. The performance of this team is also erratic. So I won't bet on this match maybe or maybe. Betting on these matches is very risky. I just want to enjoy the match.

It is quite interesting to see that the long awaited day is close to knocking on the door, and it is just for us to relax and drinking some gin to celebrate the halving. Investors have always put their minds on the halving event, because they know that it triggers the bull run, because it reduces miners reward into halve, limiting the quantity in supply.

I know this might not be strange to OGs here but this is the first halving, I am about to experience, and I want to see how this will make the price of bitcoin to pump and also to see the highest price that will be recorded as the new ATH by next year. I think, it is going to be a great experience.

I don't want to spoil your excitement, but I need to remind you that when the halving event happens, it doesn't mean it will immediately trigger a bull run for bitcoin. Halving can be considered the most important event of bitcoin and bitcoin investors wait for this event no differently than people welcome a new year with the hope of having more joy and better things in life. But don't forget that this is also a financial market and things will not go as we expect and especially when the crowd gets too excited, bitcoin may move in the opposite direction.

Like what happened in recent days, most people expected that as the halving approached, bitcoin would continue to increase in price but finally. Bitcoin is still in the correction phase.
94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't Altcoin a distraction to Bitcoin adoption? on: April 18, 2024, 01:45:01 PM
I'm not sure if there's any point in having such discussion as we not going to develop an alternative universe in which altcoins don't exist.
Bitcoin is here to stay and so are altcoins. There's not much anyone can do about it, other than maybe governments banning them.

That being said, you can't ignore the positive effects of having multiple cryptocurrencies in existence on Bitcoin. First of all we have huge crypto exchange market, and altcoins act as a testing ground for many solutions/features that (if successful) could be implemented in Bitcoin.

What an interesting turn of events in the Champions League that could shape this season. City and Arsenal are already ousted in their Quarter-final matches so they can now focus all their attention to winning the Premier League. Liverpool is also likely to forget about overturning a three goal deficit against Atalanta in their second leg encounter.

Earlier in the day we saw two La Liga teams, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, were eliminated. And today the Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City were eliminated. Champions League is very difficult to predict.

Arsenal and City will now focus solely on the Premier League title. Manchester City have managed to occupy the top spot in the table. City's biggest chance of winning the title is if they can maintain their winning streak in the coming matches. The Liverpool team is also likely to be eliminated from the Europa League. So these three teams will now fight for Premier League only. The Premier League will become more competitive.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 17, 2024, 07:20:04 PM
Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid 15 minutes

The Real Madrid team took the lead in the 12th minute of the match by Rodrygo's goal. The players of both teams are playing well. From the start of the match, both teams were attacking and trying to score goals. Real Madrid's defense is very organized today. So while Manchester City's players can create several good attacking chances, they are capable of scoring goals.

In the first match we saw 6 goals from both teams. Many goals are likely to be scored in today's match. Because both teams' attacks are strong. I expect a good performance from Haaland in today's match. We don't see better performances from Haaland in important matches. Haaland did not play well in the previous match against Madrid.

De Rossi's match strategy is quite good. He has adapted well with the Roma players. Bonding between players has been strengthened. This is why the performance of the Roma team is now more consistent than before. The team has been performing well in both Serie A and Europa League in every match.
He surprised me with chosen tactics for that match and it shows that De Rossi is not a naive coach. He does not let his team play attacking in all matches and with his experience as a player from central defensive midfielder and sometimes as a central defender, De Rossi knows importance of defense.
De Rossi is not an experienced coach. But he is already proving that he is very talented. De Rossi is only 40 years old. As he is not old enough to be a coach. So he can mix well with the players and understand the mentality of the players. I think this is why De Rossi has been successful with Roma so far. And most importantly, he has been able to tighten Roma's defense through match tactics.

Roma are now in fourth place in serie A and fighting for the Europa League title. Therefore, Roma should continue to perform well. Otherwise, the team will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.
I don't understand your post, which is either because I am not intelligent enough or your post is completely weird. You said that De Rossi is not old enough to be a coach, but how does that work out now that is a successful coach? Is there a minimum age in your country for coaches like for other people who want to have a driving license or what the heck are you talking about? What about Xabi Alonso, is he old enough to be a coach? lol

I'm sorry I didn't understand you properly. Generally we mean experienced coaches by older coaches. We can look at Ancelotti and Guardiola as examples. Ancelotti is 64 years old and Guardiola is now 53 years old. On the other hand, De Rossi is only 40 years old. Ronaldo, one of the best players in history, is still playing for Al Nassr at the age of 39. Usually we see very few coaches of 39-40 years. This is why I say De Rossi is not an experienced coach. I certainly don't say this to insult De Rossi.
I would say the same about Xabi Alonso. He is a fantastic coach no doubt. Alonso's coaching career spans over 5 years. On the other hand, De Rossi's coaching career spanned a little over a year.

Delhi Capitals batsmen bowled very well today because of the attacking bowling from the start Gujarat Titans batsmen didn't bat that well only 89 all out. Mukesh Kumar bowled very well bowling 14 runs in 2.3 overs and took three wickets. Delhi Capitals won't have much problem to win due to the responsible batting of the next batsmen, although they were under a bit of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning of coming down to bat against the target of 90 runs given by Gujarat Titans. Delhi Capitals will win easily. If Gujarat Titans batsmen could have batted responsibly in today's match, the game might have been competitive. Gujarat Titans batting performance was really disappointing as they should have batted more responsibly as they could not play 20 overs before getting all out.
Delhi capitals bowled so well and this was a low score match and delhi capitals team shocked gujarat titans team and gujarat titans all team out on 89 runs . delhi capitals team won the match in 8 overs . Delhi capitals team played very well in bowling especially M Kumar he took 3 wickets by giving 14 run in 3 overs and T Sharma and Stubbs also played well he both took 2'2 wickets .If we talk about batting , none of the players from both the teams could not perform so well, it was Delhi capitals team luck in bowling due to which they won the match.

I watched Gujarat's performance against Rajasthan Royals. The Gujarat team batted for 197 runs in the match. Still they won the match. Rajasthan's bowling order is strong. And this was Rajasthan's first defeat of the season.
That's why I expected a better performance from Gujarat in today's match. But I did not think that Gujarat would bat so badly. Even with the target around 140, the match could have been competitive. Before 9 overs Delhi team reached the target of victory. I will not make the mistake of betting on Gujarat team again.

I am interested in the Milan vs Roma match. Milan played their home match in the first leg. But Milan lost the match 1-0. However, AC Milan players dominated the entire match. Milan players made a total of 25 shots. On the other hand, Roma's players made only 10 shots. Roma's defenders performed well in this match. Roma could not have won against Milan if the defenders did not do well.
AS Roma played very tactically in that match and both teams did not have too many opportunities. Roma won it because they had better rate of convert opportunity to goal than AC Milan. The Milan team wasted some opportunities include the shot of Giroud at very late minute. With this defeat, Milan will have bigger pressure than Roma in the second match and it's not good when they will have to play home away.
I agree with you. Milan's players missed several easy chances. And this is why they fell behind. At the same time it has to be admitted that Roma's defenders performed very well in this match. Roma would have conceded several goals in this match if the defenders had not done well. As Roma won the first leg. Therefore, if Roma can draw the match in the second leg, then Roma can secure the ticket for the next round. Roma coach De Rossi's main goal for the next match will be to keep Roma's defense strong.


Roma will play at their home in the second leg match. Still, I'd say it won't be easy for Roma to win this match. Milan team is comparatively stronger than Roma. Milan has a big chance to win this match. But Roma will try to draw the match. If the defenders of Roma can perform as well as in the first match, Roma team will qualify for the semi-finals.
Another reason I believe in Roma is De Rossi let many key players on bench in a match with Udinese. It help Roma to have very good player preparation for this big match against AC Milan. AC Milan will have to attack Roma and find goals but with Dybala, Lukaku, Pellegrini, Roma can do very good counter attack but they will aim at a draw in this match.
I don't think both teams will contribute an opened and interesting match to watch.

De Rossi's match strategy is quite good. He has adapted well with the Roma players. Bonding between players has been strengthened. This is why the performance of the Roma team is now more consistent than before. The team has been performing well in both Serie A and Europa League in every match.

De Rossi left out several key players in the starting XI against Udinese. Nevertheless, Roma's overall performance was quite good. However, the match was suspended. However, it is expected that Roma will be able to perform well in their next home match against Milan.
