Bangladesh is getting demolished by Pakistan at the moment. Their score was way too low to begin with thanks to bad performances by most batsmen while their bowlers aren't able to do much.

Imam and Rizwan scored half the runs themselves. Very bad performance by the Bongs in literally every department. Predictable encounter!
The pitch was not bowling friendly. A target of 193 runs was not enough to win on this pitch. If Bangladesh had scored like 280 then the match would have been very competitive. Since the target was very low, Pakistan's batsmen batted very cautiously. The batsmen are not in a hurry. Even then they lost three wickets. Mohammad Rizwan and Imam Ul Haque batted well in this match. Pakistan bowlers Haris Rouf and Naseem Shah also picked up 7 wickets. These two bowlers bowled brilliantly. And because of their excellent performance, they were able to stop the Bangladesh team within just 192 runs.
In this match Bangladesh team could have scored 250 runs if they had batted full 50 overs. But before reaching the moment, all the wickets fell in just 38 overs. There is no option but to send a lofty target to fight against the Pakistan team who currently ranked first in the ODI rankings. It was a foregone conclusion that Bangladesh would lose but if they could have scored a few more runs it would have been a very competitive game. For example, there was a match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka which really managed to give the audience a lot of joy and excitement.

Bangladesh's batting today depended on their two senior players, Mushfiq and Shakib. Apart from these two experienced batsmen, no one else in the team can play well. Pakistan's bowling attack can be said to be the best bowling attack in the world at present. Despite having young talented players in the team, they batted very poorly. Towhid Hridoy, Naim, Miraj and Afif are not playing well. Everyone is talented enough. But none of them can stay at the crease for long against the Pakistani bowlers. Bangladesh needed a more experienced squad. Looking forward to see how they prepare their squad ahead of the next World Cup. There is no possibility that Bangladesh will do very well in the World Cup with this squad. But we have to admit that Bangladesh's bowlers are doing great now.

Pakistan : Bangladesh

I am eagerly waiting to watch Bangladesh vs Pakistan match today. There is no doubt that Pakistan team is very strong. And I would say Pakistan has the best bowling line-up in the world right now. It is very difficult to stay at the crease against Pakistan bowlers. On the other hand, I will not say that the batsmen of Bangladesh are bad. However, their performance is not consistent. In the first match they collected only 166 runs against Sri Lanka, in the second match this team scored 334 runs. There is no telling how they will fare against Pakistan's bowlers. However, Bangladesh have less chance of scoring big against Pakistan bowlers.

Although Pakistan's batting line-up is quite good, Bangladesh's bowlers have been playing well in recent times. Shakib and Miraj are great spinners. On the other hand, Taskin, SHoriful and Hasan Mahmud are very good pace bowlers. And they are in good form. I think the match will be competitive. Although Pakistan is the favorite in this match.

The Afghanistan team played very well but Such a BIG Blunder by Afghanistan. They needed 6 runs of 3 balls to Qualify and their batters Farooqi and Rashid Khan were unaware of it. Forooqi tried to stop those 3 deliveries and out in the Next 37.4 over in 289 runs. Afghanistan are now out of the Asia Cup and also lost the match by 2 runs.
I also think that Afghanistan batters not aware of the exact equation lost the last two wickets for zero runs and Rashid Khan remained off strike. Now Pakistan, India from Group A and Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from Group B quality for Super Four teams of the Asia Cup 2023.
Yes these two batters of Afghanistan were unlucky and they did not play well so they loss match by just two runs. Kusal mendis from the team of Sri Lanka played well against the team of Afghanistan.
For last two batters who did not get a single run it was necessary to play well so they could achieve the target easily but unfortunately they don't take it serious which become cause of their defeat.
 One more thing is also possible that at last players are in more pressure and they cannot play with efforts so this can also be a reason of losing match.

Afghanistan needed to win the match in 37.1 overs. Then they would have been able to qualify for the next round. As Afghanistan failed to win in 37.1 overs. So I don't think they suffered much loss even if they didn't win the match. But Afghanistan players played very well. They tried their best to win the match in 37 overs. Due to slow batting at the beginning of the innings, they could not win the match in 37.1 overs.

Afghanistan's collection was only 129 runs in the first 20 overs. They needed 163 runs to win in the next 17.1 overs. The team needed to collect an average of around 10 runs per over. Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Najibullah Zadran and Rashid Khan batted well but the team failed to win in the end. Still we got a chance to enjoy a very exciting match.

Im also feeling the same as you, being so skeptical about the performance from napoli. It's different from last season caused by napoli was always winning the game till the early matches of season. Even though garcia implemented the same strategy but he can't engage to the players like what spalletti did last season. Napoli has not faced yet the big clubs like duo milan or juventus. The way for napoli to get the trophy will become even higher starting from now. I don't expect a lot from Napoli this year.

Napoli performed well last season. Their coach has done a great job. Spalletti helped Napoli win the title. There is no denying it. Napoli's performances were very consistent thanks to Spalletti's excellent match tactics. Napoli have dominated and won every match in Serie A. However, Napoli's performance this season is relatively slow. Even in friendly matches we have seen slow performances from Napoli. New coach Garcia is yet to stabilize the team. For these reasons, I do not consider Napoli as the favorite for the title this year.


New coach Garcia has not been able to strengthen the team yet. A lot of problems are still visible within the party. Napoli lost due to poor defense against Lazio. Lazio had only 6 shots in the whole match, which allowed them to score 2 goals. Napoli will need to continue their performance if their goal is to win the title.
Based on my analyzation if garcia is not bringing significant impact to the club. He is still using the same mechanism used by spalletti last season. Its opponent can beat napoli as long as it was aware of the club's weakness.
Lazio has been beating napoli two times this year, which has been proving if the club knew on which players that must be pressured in preventing napoli from playing freely against lazio.
I must admit sarri's strategy is really effective in preventing napoli from winning the game.

Last season we saw spalletti change the game strategy against important opponents. Looking forward to see what match strategy Garcia will apply against Lazio. Lazio are strong opponents. Therefore, it is not possible to beat Lazio if the match strategy and performance of the players are not good.

Obviously the top teams are getting better without a doubt. However, to be fair to them the level they reached is not the part that should be considered good, it's the growth that they had which is the success. Right now they are not even a top 10 league in my book, and yet they are acted as if top 5-6 right now with all the media attention they are getting.

For example, I would prefer Belgium league more than this, I bet they are better but for some reason they are not considered as good as Saudi league by the fans, all because of the names. Just names do not get you wins, you need those names to play well too, we will see if they will actually do fine. I think it is to start thinking about a serious club world cup type of thing by Uefa, UCL is great but we need a global one.

The league in Saudi Arabia is still not very developed. The Saudi national football team is also quite weak. Even the Saudi League has come into the discussion after taking the world's best star player like Ronald to the league.

But the Saudi League is changing itself quite quickly. You won't find any similarities between the current league and the Saudi league of two years ago. They have added big star players like Benzema, Sadio Mane, Neymar and Ronaldo to their league. They are spending a lot of money. And its size is incredibly large. But they are starting to reap the benefits. The overall performance of the teams has improved. I watched the Ittihad vs Al Hilal match that day. Both teams have performed well. After trailing 3-1 at the end of the first half, Al Hilal won the match 4-3. Undoubtedly, the Saudi League is improving. And I think Saudi League will be among the top 6/7 leagues very soon.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 05, 2023, 01:41:45 AM
Napoli will do fine, they are not going to end up doing terrible that easily. This is the team that won the title with a lot of points difference last year, and now we are talking about something terrible right away? They are going to be fine, sure they may have started a bit different but they are going to be fine and nothing will go wrong if you ask me.

It's better to let the team be for the time being and the yare going to do a lot better. I hope that we are going to be doing something that would be better on the long run, and I suppose it should be something that really causes them to rally back up and do better. Maybe it is a bonding thing, maybe manager thing, but they will definitely end up getting better without a doubt.

Personally I don't think Napoli will win the title this season. I don't consider Napoli as champions of Serie A. There is a gap between last season's performance and this season's performance. Napoli had a great performance last season, but this season Napoli's performance is quite slow. The bond between the players is also not very strong. After all, the kind of performance needed to win the title, we haven't seen that kind of performance from Napoli.

New coach Garcia has not been able to strengthen the team yet. A lot of problems are still visible within the party. Napoli lost due to poor defense against Lazio. Lazio had only 6 shots in the whole match, which allowed them to score 2 goals. Napoli will need to continue their performance if their goal is to win the title.

This is what happened with Rose Namajunas finger in first rounds, and after that it was hard to expect better performance from her.
Stuff like this is happening all the time even during training but it is much harder when it happens during important fight and you have to pretend that everything is ok.




I think I have mentioned a minimum of 5 times here that UFC gloves suck. This is all due to gloves. Change the gloves for more closed and there wont be broken or dislocated fingers, or eye pokes. Frankly, this injury does not look like it might affect the fight. If this is just dislocated, corner guys could fix that, if the joints are destroyed, then just squeeze fist more hard. People fight with broken ribs, bones or face bones, have huge cuts. I dont give discount for her being a female. She knew what kind of sport she is in.

weird. actually, UFC gloves need to be changed. normal gloves, or maybe I should compare it with boxing gloves, and while compared to the boxing gloves, the UFC gloves are different. Boxing gloves generally make your hand in a natural closed fist position.  But with UFC gloves it is actually hard to close your fist.  With the UFC gloves, it is easier to keep your fist open. Which definitely should not be the case. This causes fighters to get injured easily because this is causing fighters to get poked in the eye easily and this also causes fighters to break their fingers easily. It is high time that there should change in the design.

I think if Spence will change coach, I wouldn't get Roy Jones though. He is a good boxer, one of the legends no doubt, but I don't think he has what it takes to be a great coach. If I'm not mistaken, he was the trainer of Chris Eubanks against Liam Smith in the first fight and Chris lost.

So he dump Jones, and then goes to the trainer of Crawford, BoMoc. Now Eubanks gets his revenge against Liam this weekends. So I do agree, Derrick James is a great trainer, however, Crawford is too much for Spence that I doubt that even who ever coach him that time, will have a hard time trying to figure out Bud Crawford. And I doubt that there is similarities between AJ and Spence that they need to switch trainers.

I absolutely agree. He can change his trainer if he thinks it will be a good decision. But it will definitely not be a good decision to choose Roy Jones. He would rather be better with the trainer that he has right now. I believe it will be better if he does not rush things. He better give this a very good thought.  This is a big decision for his career. If he chooses wrong he will pay the consequences for sure.  so I think he should think about this long and hard. He certainly does not want to choose wrong and lose his next fight. About who he should choose, I am not going to talk about that.  I will just say that it will be better if he chooses someone else instead of Roy Jones.

There is a rumor floating around that Errol Spence had broken his ties with long time trainer Derrick James.
Again, this is just a rumor and could be fake news, but we all know that when fighters suffer their first defeat, they usually change trainers.
Just like with Anthony Joshua. And they said that the replacement will be Roy Jones. But that's where it gets interesting as Roy Jones for me is not a good trainer.
So let's see if there is some truth in this rumor, and if this is true, then it's big. I mean, he want's to go up to 154, but there might be his closest buddy in James stable which is Jermell Charlo (who is fighting Canelo at 168 lbs).
Charlo can go back to 154 lbs if he wanted or if he losses, then there is a potential fight between Spence and Charlo and also Spence as 154 lbs.

Errol Spence should definitely concentrate on his mistakes that he had made. I don’t think it is a good time for him to actually change trainers. We have seen a lot of fighters change their trainer after the first loss as you said. But I definitely think that it would be better if Errol Spencer actually concentrated on what he did wrong instead of what other people did wrong.

There is also another thing which people are saying. A lot of people are saying that if this is rumoured, this is definitely being discussed. I actually think that is also true.

Haaland is a great player. He has a lot of scoring ability. And at the same time I would say Haaland is very lucky to have Guardiola as his coach. He got such an experienced coach at the beginning of his career. As a result, Haaland will become more experienced and his performance will improve. Haaland's performances with Manchester City last season impressed everyone. [He became the top scorer in the Premier League, as well as scoring 12 goals in 11 matches in the Champions League. He has achieved a lot at just 23 years of age. However, it is expected that we will see good performances from Haaland this season as well. Haaland has already scored two goals with three mats. He will be the top scorer in the Premier League again.
Erling Haaland has indisputable talent, and anyone who disagrees with him is probably ignorant of football subtler intricacies. At the age of 22, he has excelled in Europe very competitive championships. His transfer to Manchester City was not just a stroke of luck it was a calculated move made by both parties. The partnership between Pep Guardiola and Haaland has benefited both parties because Pep expertise as a coach has sharpened the young star abilities. Achieving so much at such a young age would have been difficult under ordinary conditions, but at City, Haaland trajectory is set for even greater successes in the years to come. Haaland game is positioned for tremendous progress while playing for Manchester City under Pep leadership.

The Bundesliga is proof that Haaland is a fantastically talented player. Haaland was able to perform well with Dortmund as well. Guardiola has made no mistake in selecting players for his squad. He has added eligible players to the squad. And in the first season Haaland has managed to fit in well with Manchester City. And became the highest scorer. It was not easy for Haaland to adapt to the new team so quickly without the support of Guardiola. Guardiola's match strategy was also excellent. Guardiola also managed to create a strong bond between the players. Manchester City's performance was consistent throughout the season. It's been a great season for City fans.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 02, 2023, 05:48:06 AM
Haaland is a good player, there is no doubt about that. The argument I have been seeing in this thread about him can be settled by saying the following things about him;
  • Haaland is a good player
  • Without Manchester City Haaland will still be a good player
  • Haaland was lucky to join a perfect club for him
  • Manchester City has therefore made Haaland to be excellent
THEREFORE, Manchester City has helped Haaland more than Haaland helped them.
Anybody who says ill of Erling Haaland is dump and stupid, not that alone, he knows nothing about football and his opinion shouldn't be taken seriously.
Great Player honestly, he needs no further introduction, his leaving the dream at 22. Already won it all when it comes to the Competitive Competitions in Europe.
I won't say Erling Haaland was lucky joining Manchester City. If Manchester City was perfect, them they shouldn't have required his service for the Central attacker role. Europe had series of attackers doing great and they didn't make moves for them. Pep Guardiola saw greatness in the young lad.
It's a two way process, Manchester City benefited from Erling Haaland and Erling Haaland did likewise from Manchester City and work with Pep Guardiola. Working with Pep Guardiola is something I'll do anyday anytime if I had the opportunity. He is the best Manager in the World.
Working under Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland has personally achieved great things at a young age. Had Erling Haaland been at a normal club and performing under a normal manager, it would have been very difficult for him to achieve so much at such a young age. Manchester City's contract with Erling Haaland has benefited Manchester City as well as Erling Haaland has benefited a lot on a personal level. Erling Haaland was voted the best player in Europe at just 22 years old, so just imagine where his achievements could end up at the age of twenty-four to twenty-five. As long as Erling Haaland is at Manchester City and as long as Pep Guardiola is in charge of Manchester City, we will see a huge improvement in Erling Haaland's game.

Haaland is a great player. He has a lot of scoring ability. And at the same time I would say Haaland is very lucky to have Guardiola as his coach. He got such an experienced coach at the beginning of his career. As a result, Haaland will become more experienced and his performance will improve.

causing them to hold onto seemingly worthless fiat currency?

Why do you call fiat worthless? Crypto has it's use, fiat has it's — both will go hand in hand, none will replace another.

The funny thing is that a lot of people always say that fiat currency is useless, it's rubbish but they invest in bitcoin and at the end of the day they convert their bitcoin into fiat currency to use. They insult fiat on a daily basis but also use it every day and their life cannot exist without fiat.

Indeed, fiat is losing significant value over time, but that doesn't mean it's completely worthless. They still have their own use cases and we're still using them every day. Fiat shouldn't be held for long, that's its downside.

Investment and business are only considered gambling when we have no knowledge, but when we have full knowledge and understanding about it, it is not gambling but can bring us good income.
I disagree. It is always gambling. Companies gamble with new ideas, new products then they separate in successful companies and dead companies. Big corporations gamble that they don't need to gamble with bigger risks in new trends, then some of them lost their positions like Nokia, Koddak, Yahoo. Some accepted risks and succeed like Samsung, Tesla, SpaceX.

In investing or doing business there is always risk and to be successful we need to accept risks. And if you consider taking risks and trade-offs as gambling then there's nothing wrong with that but I don't think anyone would call it gambling, it's just business risk. If you think that taking risks to achieve success is gambling, then everything in this world is gambling, including our lives. Because no one knows in advance what our decisions will bring about in the future. Life is like a gamble from your point of view.

Currently the match between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal is taking place and the great thing is, neither team is the favorite in this match because Al Ittihad and Al Hilal have exactly the same odds. But yes, if I look at their head to head results then at least Al Hilal has a better winning record when Al Hilal plays against Al Ittihad. But yes, because at this moment Al Ittihad also certainly has a target to defend the title and also, they already have great players and star players, then of course Al Ittihad will not lose because Al Ittihad also plays at home this match.
This game between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal was unique one,because this match between the first and third place team.So this will be the deciding one of the semi final.Most probably this two team going to meet in the semi final,So this match may be the pre match to them.It may help the losing team to get learn of all the tactics of winning team and help to use in the Semi Final.Most probably the Al Ittihad going to win this match,because it had all win in the four matches.But the Hilal only had 10 points,but the Ittihad had 12 points and top the table.The half time score was 3-1 of the Al Ittihad and Al Hilal,the Ittihad had more opportunity for the win.

I thought I'd watch Benzema vs Neymar today. But Neymar missed the match due to injury. Even with PSG, he was sidelined for most of the matches due to injury. We see the same situation of Neymar in the league of Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal trailed 3-1 in the first half against Ittihad. Al Hilal's performance in today's match is quite poor. They can't make any powerful attacks. Although Ittihad had 5 shots on target in the first half, AL Hilal had only 1. Benzema scored a goal. Coronado, Hamdallah and Romarinho also performed well. Ittihad is going to get an easy win today. Had Neymar been with Al Hilal's squad today, the match would have been a competitive one.

Although Hellas Verona won the previous two matches, the team is not able to play well in the away match of Sassuolo today. The match turned out to be extremely enjoyable. Sassuolo lead 2-1 after 70 minutes. And in the home match Sassuolo boys are performing quite well today.

Sassuolo lost the first two matches. The team lost both matches against Atalanta and Napoli. The important thing is that the team was not able to score a single goal in these two matches. And so today probably many gamblers were considering Hellas Verona as favourites. But in today's match Sassuolo is back on the truck. Their performance is also quite good. So far the match situation looks like Sassuolo will get 3 points in this match. Hellas Verona's attack looks a bit weak today.

Sassuolo won the match 3-1. Sassuolo had a great comeback after losing two matches. The dominance of Sassuolo's players was very visible throughout the match. Hellas Verona's performance was a bit slow from the start of the match. And finally the team had to admit defeat. Sassuolo players had a total of 16 shots in this match, 7 of which were on taget. Sassuolo's every attack was very strong. That's why Hellas Verona's defenders failed to resist Sassuolo. Beradi and Pinamonti's performances were excellent today.

Milan scored in just 9 minutes against Roma. Giroud scored from the penalty spot. It looks like Roma will not be able to score points today. Despite playing well in the last season, the team's performance has been poor since the beginning of this season. Roma's attack in particular is very weak.

Now Dortmund has many things for which they can do a lot, with this signing, I think they can do things in a more special and much bigger way, Dortmund is aiming to give it their all to win the Budneslifga this time, they have already been told note that they are not even a bit afraid of Bayern.
They have and got already the things in the past for can making big things , even they lost a few good players in the transfer period this time,
i guess its possible that they can show there true face now , but they need to start it today against Heidenheim with a win and hopefully many scored goals.
Dortmund is not afraid about Bayern Munich.
Fingers crossed that Niclas Füllkrug will get a few Minutes to play and maybe score a goal for his new Team.

I don't think Dortmund will win the title. I don't even consider Dortmund as favorites for the title. And I have never seen a better performance from Dortmund in the opening two games of the season. Dortmund got a narrow 1-0 win against a weak team like Koln. Dortmund team drew 1-1 against Bochum in the second match.
In the first two matches, it is well understood that Dortmund's attack is quite weak. The team managed to score only two goals in two matches. Dortmund fans will certainly expect goals from Niclas Füllkrug, Dortmund's new striker, in today's match. If Niclas Füllkrug performs well, maybe Dortmund's performance will stabilize.

Bayern Munich are not considering Dortmund as an opponent for the title. Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga again this year and easily win the title. Harry Kane has settled into the team very well. And he is capable of scoring a lot of goals. So Munich's chances of winning the title have increased.

It seems what happening right now is "buy the news sell the rumors". Look what happened on the price when Grayscale things popped, the market pumped, and look at now, dumped again.
For sure a lot of people are losing money because of these kinds of news.

Although the SEC lost the case to Grayscale, the acceptance or rejection of the ETFs is still at the discretion of the SEC and not any other agency. So it's not surprising to me that they continue to reject all ETFs proposals, including BlackRock's, which we were most looking forward to. But what's interesting is that they delayed it until March 2024 and that's also when the halving will take place. Therefore, on social network X, many conspiracy theories have appeared claiming that the SEC is also participating in market manipulation.

If you're trading or investing in Bitcoin, then you can be able to make money to put food on your table. But there are risks involved, you can see that the market is highly volatile, so anything you are doing, you just have to be careful. When it comes to anything investment , there are risks involved.
It's like a gamble though but if you are able to do things right, it is not a gamble. If you invest time and effort, you will succeed and you can do trading for a living.
So yeah, it's a risk that you will rely on trading only for food for our family, what will happen if there are days/weeks that you don't win on trading? Always think also on the other side.


Investment and business are only considered gambling when we have no knowledge, but when we have full knowledge and understanding about it, it is not gambling but can bring us good income. While I am not advocating for anyone to consider investing or trading bitcoin as their main source of income, there are still some people who are doing it and have been successful. But of course, very few people can do it and everyone should not follow, but rely on their own ability.

Bitcoin is just a tool for us to generate income, so it not only provides food but can also be our daily need, if we know how. It's all up to us, not bitcoin or any other asset.

He has effectively generated interest in the fight, and now, we're eager to witness it unfold. While Inoue currently holds the championship title, there's no doubt that Casimero will present a tough challenge. His approach is distinct from the kind of competition Inoue has faced in his previous bouts.

That's why it's of utmost importance for the fight with Tapales to take place this year, as it could pave the way for another significant Inoue fight next year.

This won't stop until he gets a chance to fight Inoue. He's set his sights on Inoue as he seeks a fast track to success, but Casimero's luck in this regard seems a bit uncertain, as he hasn't been able to cross paths with Inoue just yet. This is his opportunity, as they now compete in the same division—Casimero as a challenger and Inoue as the champion.

It wouldn't be unreasonable if Inoue were to put an end to the speculations surrounding their matchup by facing Casimero. It could silence Casimero in one effective way: a knockout victory. However, it's perplexing why Inoue doesn't seem interested. This lack of enthusiasm on Inoue's part raises questions and can't help but lead people to consider whether Inoue is avoiding a clash with Casimero out of fear.

Inoue knows very well what is happening here. He knows that he is a money fight right now. And there will be a lot of people trying to fight against him. And Casimero is probably doing this because he wants to have a go at him even though he might not deserve it. I am definitely not going to say that he does not deserve the fight. It is a different conversation if he actually deserves the fight or not. But if there is a big fighter who can actually be a payday for other fighters, there will be a lot of fighters talking trash about him.

So I don’t know if he is going to take Casimero seriously or not. Maybe if Casimero wins his fight on 12th October, he will get his chance.
