8321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [CHESS] FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2022 on: July 22, 2022, 04:19:34 AM

maybe it wasn't that much, but would be nice to look at the data

it was the series that really motivated me to learn more about chess theory and technique and to play more often
same thing for some of my friends

but would love to check online chess websites number of users over time to try to see if there are any correlations
I have learnt a very important lesson from Queen Gambit. And that is you fight your own battle be it your personal life, professional life.
And money is crazy thing - it makes relationship stones hearted and you lose them when you lose money.

Not a bad idea to separate friends from money  Roll Eyes

the series has some details about money and all but imo is not really about it
way more about the main character fight over herself and improvement trajectory
Actually yes, I think that on a personal level one thing is what we live and the other is very different from the way of playing and being able to solve things within a board, just as she thought in the series, she believed that he was in control and that he saw all the moves and it really isn't like that, there are many variants that only other minds see and with more capacity, that doesn't mean they are more intelligent or something similar, but rather the level of training of those players is so immense that they are capable of having such a vision, I have played since I was a child and since I was a child I saw a lot of plays, but then I got very tired, and it was really a great effort.

Bots from social media and bots from gambling are not alike and are too different from each other especially when it comes to functionalities. Social media bots are mostly used for increasing followers and traffic from each post being made thru comments, followers and likes. Gambling bots are used to detect which strategy best work for each seed. I mainly see gambling bots on dice games and there some software out there that you can buy to process which strategy best work for each seed however it is not accurate which is why this only sometimes work at the first you used it.
That is good point mentioned - the gambling bots and social media bots are two different things all together.
But that is also correct that whatever strategy the bots suggest is not always correct. However - for keeping a check that is also a fine thing to do...
If this is so, what is the point of using bots for casinos? if they are not able to beat the system? I feel that this type of gambling bot is not profitable at all, and even so if it worked only 1 time and if they show that it works 100% well, guaranteeing good amounts of profit, no matter how expensive it was, I know that the players would buy it, but It doesn't make any sense, besides, as I said before, it doesn't make sense to play with bots risking our lives, which may already be well worked by a bot that doesn't even have a good effectiveness rate, at least in my personal opinion. I don't see anything good about it.

If they can pick the right personnel to take over the chance of getting decent taxes and incomes from this plan

is really achievable, but if they will just place people who have hidden agendas to corrupt the system and to have power to
put their own money making system.

there's nothing to expect, but an abuse for the citizens of the country. Then again, everything will be good if the person
who will facilitate the business is pro-people / for the benefits of many, and nothing else.
I am not very clear about what the governments are like in other countries, or if in Europe I clearly think that the governments are much more transparent and ethical than in South America and may have enough ethics for it, but at least where I live, the things are not like that, first of all the government wants to manage everything and have its slice of money in each business that is generated, if it is not under their tutelage, then it simply does not happen, and if it happens secretly from the government they run with the risk of being imprisoned, therefore everything that is given in the name of a government, be it a casino or something similar, at least I would stay well away.

You just have to be very careful,  telegram is a place most people want to always generate money from people.  If you feel this platform is real one thing I will tell you is for you to only put in money you can afford to loss. Before you do anything try to be very sure you are in the right place, make enquiries.
Telegram for me is a factor where you should be very careful, in fact, sometimes many scammers use bots to try to harm people, that is why any suspicious attitude through telegram should be denounced and reported, that's why when groups are formed and tend to give positive things, such as improving trading, giving free signals, it is not something to trust, I think it is the most iconic way of being able to enter the privacy of the person, where it is very easy to enter and steal information and money, it is for this reason that for groups of this style on telegram I usually run away, it is not my style.

Moderate gambler too, however, I'm not quite sure how accurate these tests are. I'm considering myself a low-risk gambler due to how frequently and how much I gamble, something that the quiz doesn't take into account. The questions are pretty general in my opinion and should not be taken for granted. Obviously, if gambling is causing you problems in your daily life, either financially or mentally, you should seek help.
I agree with your statement, I could not say what type of player I am too, although I consider myself habitual but moderate, where I manage my own risk and do not bet or spend more than what I have destined to lose, where in one of those I get to winning would be accepted with great joy, but my greatest discipline is to follow my own rules without breaking them, because just like in trading those who break their own rules will lead to failure, and the game is a very high risk factor when the conditions Mental health is not very well defined in terms of risk management, personality, and even the way one gets along with other people.

Well, I think that this time you were very lucky that it accompanied you, however, if you plan to make a loan for the same thing, all or the most responsible of us would say no, because just like this time you were lucky, maybe next time you won't. This gambling thing must be taken with great responsibility, the most important thing is that you make a sustainable plan where you have options to have profits, even if they are small, but they are profits, it is not the same to win a little bit than to lose, because losing is having less money, winning even if it is not much, is winning and represents an increase in money, anyway I congratulate you on your victory.
8327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To build your Professionalism on casino on: July 22, 2022, 12:59:58 AM
I also prefer to be a responsible gambler to a professional gambler because being responsible is important for a gambler. We can be a professional but not necessarily we can be responsible for ourselves and our money. But if we are responsible gamblers, we can surely become professional gamblers one day. That is an important thing that a gambler should pay attention to.

I think responsibility is not an option or (to be). but an attitude that must be applied in any case, especially in gambling. being responsible for yourself is important especially in gambling which is very risky, any excessive action in gambling will be fatal to yourself or the people around us that is why someone must be responsible for every action. Actually I think the concept of building a professional is not important if we just play for fun, unless someone makes gambling a job and builds professionals with various knowledge or strategies. even that will not guarantee income
By having responsibility, at least they can play gambling safely because they can estimate how much money they can use to gamble. If your responsibility is gone, just get ready to lose more money. But whatever it is, if it's too much, then it won't be good for us so we better adjust.

Even if someone wants to make gambling a professional thing, they must have a big responsibility because that will protect them from all the things that will be fatal for them.
I know that to be a professional you must comply with certain attitudes, among them responsibility shines, and responsibility does not mean that you are a professional or that thanks to it they become professionals, and although it could be a way to do so, there are many players who they are not responsible at all, and that they are professionals, but they are professionals because they know when they should play, how much they should bet and, above all, how much they are about to bet, I could not bet all my money on just one play and leave everything to chance, because it would be something very stupid, a professional person knows that if he plays he must do it for his greatest quest, which is to win.Usually the professionals are the whales.
8328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: July 22, 2022, 12:29:48 AM
The market is so unpredictable - anything can happen at any stage of the time. If we look at LUNA - what a horrible mistake it was.
Two of my friends lost their big capital to LUNA, I was about to make the same mistake but thank God - I missed buying them.
Without a doubt when people are talking about a dump they think of a regular drop in the market in which there is still a possibility for the coin in which they invested to recover, however the dump of Luna was different.

If someone had most of their capital invested in Luna and was even gambling with it then what happened affected them to an incredible degree, as the coin crashed almost all the way to zero in a single week, and as such any moment of hesitation was a moment in which the price kept dropping and it was making more and more difficult the decision to sell, which is why so many people that bought Luna for a high price decided to not sell thinking the coin will recover, only to be proven wrong and losing any chance of ever recovering their money, which without a doubt affected their gambling as well as now they had no money to spare at all for the activity.

Really, the LUNA thing should not take us by surprise, this type of currency can reach that type of behavior, we know very well that everything is managed by supply and demand, and obviously LUNA does not have and never had a life of its own, LUNA just like all altcoins will always depend on BTC, and BTC is the only King currency, the one that rules, and yes, BTC is the only currency that has life, and only the fact of falling in price shakes the weaker altcoin projects and the it collapses, for me that was what happened to LUNA, it never had a good project, therefore it failed and everything went down, like a big landslide where nothing was left.
8329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2022/23 | Qualifying on: July 21, 2022, 11:32:00 PM
I mean, yeah this is Champions League but it's not actually started yet, betting at this stage is just like betting on Third or Fourth tier football. I blame it on lack of La Liga!
As i always say everybody now plays football. Before it was much easier on this qualifiers teams quality was a big difference .
But yeah Dinamo was an apsolute favorite and to lose to such a weak estonian club is a shock. Be careful with this bets in the future
That's some truth to it, I mean I don't mind there is Conference League and everyone gets their chance for international club football but now yes I even see weird teams playing to qualify for Champions league, now it's really 90% of the teams I don't recognize.

No use to be more careful, but maybe useful to bet on the other team facing favorites!
This is why I believe that we should be getting the qualifiers of UCL a bit less, not have this many, instead move those to europa right now, and the high amount of qualifiers for europa should be moved to conference league instead. Have the conference league a VAST thing that all the weird smaller clubs could play, and have the eruopa to be few smaller clubs and then mediocre European ones, and only the greatest ones and champions at the champions league.

Why would you have teams that worth less than literally bench player of a big club as a whole. We see literally bench player of City being worth more than Dinamo as a whole for example, that just doesn't make sense, send them to europa and they would have a chance.
Well, the comparison of the player from the bench with one from Dinamo is a bit exaggerated, but if it transmits in a certain way what is wanted to be transmitted, and it really has been something important, but the reality is, if the number of quotas for the UCL will not cause more pain in some countries? many want to go up to the first division of their countries because they dream of playing in the UCL, I know that only the best qualify in the UCL, but it would be entering into a non-inclusion issue and for what reason? I don't think that for now UEFA is going to get into a big problem in FIFA just for saying that other teams are not up to the task.

Fener having a good game there still didn't mean much, why? Because they attacked with absolutely no frustration. I mean they had a few chances where they could have scored, but they had the ball so many times where they just didn't know what to do and that is a big problem. Just ignore any team that doesn't know how to attack to a team that is laying back and waiting to be attacked.

Dynamo ended up doing that tactic a lot, let Fener attack a ton, and then when they got the ball they counter attacked and it worked like a charm. Maybe no team won the first game, but I feel like Dynamo could end up winning the second game if they score least once because I doubt Fener could.

Fenerbahce was better in the match and should have won,but i still think they are missing a really good striker. They got a good coach and i think they will win at home against Dinamo Kiev. But still a rough match for both teams and a lot is at stake

Many are embracing that, they say that they will easily beat Dynamo kyiv, although I did not trust myself very much, Dynamo kyiv can do things differently and make a difference, I think that one of their tactics and that it can work for them is look for the early goal and then all get on defense, to precisely defend the score, and play counterattack, many times a ball from defense can be taken by a striker and score a goal, it's something like the Italian style, and play with desperation of the opposing team.
8330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Brasileirão 2022 - Brazilian Championship Serie A on: July 21, 2022, 10:25:33 PM
I never expected Fluminense to win 4-0 against Corinthians in the last game but I think it just made the Serie A even better to watch and follow.Now there are the first six teams divided by just a mere 4 points between them and anything can happen.My all time and old favorite of Brazil Serie A,are starting to become stronger again,I see Internacional de Alegre being in sixth position and having a real look and fight for the title.In fact Corinthians,Atletico Mg and Palmeiras have one game less compared to the other teams that are divided by just 4 points but what took my eye is the recent form of Fluminense,which prompts me to believe they to be the strongest team so far in Serie A,they are the only team that have not lost a single game in the last five games they have played while all other teams in the top of the standings have at least lost one game in their last 5.Also Atletico MG has not lost a game in the 5 last games so a really unpredictable league so far,as who is going to win.I never seen any more competitive Serie A for years in Brazil.
You are right, Fluminense is shining and at the same time burning for all its fans in Brazil, besides, it did not win by the simple difference, but 4 goals, that is, a total humiliation because they did not even let them score the goal of honor, when the tournaments they get like this is when I like it the most, this reminds me of last season of the second bundesliga where any team could go to the first division, but in this case it is with the Brazilian teams that I consider one of the best in the world, although for my Corinthias and Palmeiras are at another level, undoubtedly they still have a long way to go to reach them.

Santos beat Botafogo by a good score... Fluminense also beat Goias, although the match was very difficult for both teams... Nobody wanted to concede 3 points, but the visitors were more lucky... Well Inter and Sao Paulo managed to score against each other and the game was the most intense of all the other games... I got lucky, and all my predictions came true! Grin

I really liked Santos' game, I really think that they are finally recovering the leadership that they can reach, besides Sao Paulo is not doing badly at all, I know that Sao Paulo was going through a not very good moment, that's what football great, from here on it will get better. The Brazilian championship should have more relevance on ESPN channels, Fox, among others, since Brazil in general produces very good players and they always do a good job in European clubs.
8331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ? on: July 21, 2022, 08:30:02 PM
Now in the modern world - thing are more covered up there are new techniques and ways for the match fixing. But I am sure every big game has a big game behind it. To me almost every match if not approx 80% matches are fixed. Do you agree?

No. Big games are most watched. There is high money at stake here making it critical to be involved in a match-fixing.

Big games and matches are also recognized by most people around the world and I doubt something fishy will happen here. They won't ruin their reputation for that. Their fans are the reason why they are getting profits.

If we are talking about local leagues or small leagues, maybe there are a few cases of game-fixing but it's not 80%. That was too much.
I too believe most big games have big money behind. And surly most of the bookie would try to buy the players as well. But again now players are more concerned about their reputation and career they would like to stay clean and neutral because sooner of later the secret is out.
The fact of saying that there is no money in the big fights is something absurd, behind each fight there are arrangements, there are negotiations, and obviously there is a lot of money invested so that the fights take place, and this is only so that they can be carried out After all, the other thing that is there and that everyone sees is the business model that is established between promoters, if they see that there is a good agreement between them of a monetary nature, then the fight is very likely to happen, but if not, it guarantees big bets and betting movements by the whales or big bets are not done, so all this is what boxing brings with it.

If you will only visit every crypto gambling review site that you can see on the web you will noticed that many of the crypto gambling sites that they review don't have an ANN thread on our forum. There are some which are ranked high and they do have a thread here but it was not that active anymore.
There are instances that those known casinos that have already built up their casino and community, don't stay here anymore. Maybe they think that it's no longer effective as they've got most of the customers already that they need but for sure that the forum has helped them out. Also, they're active in other social media and that's much easier for them to address and solve issues by their customers.
I think that's the reason why they're no longer active in here if ever they've got a thread in the forum.
There is no exact numbers of costumer for any business mate, because imagine that gamblers are not permanently going in single site as they are keep finding new one so how come that they will be contented upon their sites player.

Maybe they are now extending their ads in different sites so they are gathering new costumers and not willing to advertise here anymore .
Although it is a viable option, but not very convincing, because all the sites know that by having an Ann thread here in Bitcointalk, it means having many more clients, more traffic and that is something that every online casino is looking for, unless it is a casino that is based only on fiat money and does not do any type of conversion, but even so if it works that way it would not be bad to advertise, even if it involves introducing some cryptocurrency into the casino, be it BTC, USDT which are the most common and those that could mainly be added quickly and that it be in networks that do not use much associated fee, because that is another topic.
8333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON POY Awards. on: July 21, 2022, 06:37:34 PM
Yes. The Super Falcon is one team that gladdens my heart even when they lose unlike their male counterparts. Some days ago, they lost to South-Africa but defeated Botswana in the Women's African Cup of Nation group match. Tomorrow they'll lock heads with Burundi and South-Africa with Botswana. South-African has the highest points (6) in the group. Nigeria shares the same point with Botswana (3). My prediction for tomorrows match is Nigeria 2 - 1 Burundi and South-Africa 1 - 0 Botswana
The Super Falcons of Nigeria are the best team in Africa as long as African women's football is concerned but we can not compare them to the Super Eagles team because the male football competition is more competitive and difficult than the female competition. Even though the Super Falcons lost in their game against South Africa they still had so many fans supporting and cheering them up like the male team that receives harsh words and abuses whenever they are defeated in a match that alone has been a major setback in the super eagle's team.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will have an easy win against Burundi because following their last performance against Botswana, I believe they will be able to score two or more goals and I see the South African side sharing points with Botswana because the Botswana team will be hoping to win them so as to progress to the next stage and they hope Nigeria will not have a win against Burundi too.

Yes, what happens is that many times the love for the eagles is usually confused with the super falcons, and it is clearly as you say, the women's soccer team if it is something competitive, but the male version of soccer is more in demand In addition, everything is measured based on men's football, and as for the African league, for me it has quite a level, only as a foreigner and as a connoisseur of football I know that here a lot of work is done with the "thread" or with preferences , that is obviously caused by money, and it is something common, in South America it is also a very lucrative business model, although a little of that has already been cleaned up.
8334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: July 21, 2022, 05:44:55 PM
There are other strong teams in South America, such as Uruguay, which was twice the world champion and played in the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup.
It is true that Europe has more quality national teams, but the main reason for this is that Europe has many more countries than South America.
And some other South American national teams were also very difficult opponents of the European national teams at the previous world championships, like Chile or Paraguay, as far as I remember.
We will see who will be more successful at this world championship in Qatar, European or South American teams  Cheesy
I do not believe even Brazil and Argentina, let alone Uruguay. This is why I do not think that any of them would do anything to win it. Why I believe that? I do not know if this is wrong or not, but I feel like those teams do not have the seriousness when they are playing to make this work, like they play with more talent and fun then anything else, and they lack the discipline required to be a winner of a tournament when playing with other continents.

Maybe I am wrong, but if you look at it, last time a team from South America won, was 2002 Brazil, it has been 20 years, ever since then it has been just one more finalist, and all others were European.
Be careful, you cannot underestimate the colossi, you are talking about Brazil, Argentina, and the first country that won a World Cup, which is Uruguay, do not echo what Mbappé said that they have silenced him enough, both the European and South American teams they have a high level, I think that a European player would not feel good playing in Manaus in a temperature above 42°C at noon, where the sun hits much harder and the humidity is impressive, where your head it can become as heavy as an anvil and where sweat is the drops of water that you don't want to leave your body, because that's what it feels like to run (Just run) in the Arena do Brasil (Manaus) I tell you properly because I've played there, and you know something? the Brazilians play there at that time as if they were very fresh, in fact, the one who played there was CR7 in 2014, and they had to do intervals of time to give the players hydration, because the Europeans couldn't stand much, then the stronger conditions makes stronger players.

FIFA will formally introduce the semi-automatic offside system for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Match officials can use these tools to help them make decisions more quickly and correctly both on the field and in the video room. The success of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) at the 2018 World Cup in Russia inspired the development of this semi-automatic offside detection device, which has since undergone trials at the Arab Cup 2021 and the Club World Cup.

To create and enhance semi-automatic offside detection technology, FIFA closely collaborates with Adidas and a number of other partners.

Interestingly referees can still make big mistakes despite having a system like VAR. We see these mistakes in some games even though not the majority of games are like this. However I still hope that this new technology will hinder big mistakes in the World Cup. Some positions can be very tricky to decide whether they are offside or not. You just need to look into them in a very detailed way. If this system doesn't have any technical problem then these positions wouldn't be evaluated wrongly as of now.
This technology will be very useful and very helpful for the referee's work on the field, and although it is assisted by great technology and also the first time for the Qatar 2022 World Cup later the final decision remains in the hands of the referee.
and semi-automated offside technology which is expected to provide additional and more accurate VAR information, as well as assist the referee's decision-making process and make the review process as efficient as possible. And I really wanted to see how it worked on the pitch because this technology is a first in football.
This type of system is much more reliable, because even so with the VAR the one who has the last voice is a human, and I think the technology is much more reliable, hopefully all kinds of assistive technology can be implemented for a referee and that Above all, it is visible to everyone, so it is much easier to detect not only a play, but it also reveals any type of corruption that the referee himself wants to do.
8335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 21, 2022, 04:42:09 PM
You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

Having people around that are not exposed to gambling will always be helpful for someone who is a gambling addict. However, that won't guarantee that he'll stop gambling anymore. Where there's a will, there's a way. So expect that he'll still be looking for some nearby casinos or just play online casinos without leaving the house. Also, in cases that an individual still develop his gambling habit even without influencers around, that only seldom to happen but still possible. Usually, gamblers develop their interest if they are also seeing gamblers in their own environment or society.
I think that a change of environment where people who are of a gambling nature or who represent gambling are not present is a respite for an addicted person, since it does not make them remember every moment, but we must bear in mind that the mind is another thing, you can be doing many things and activities, but obviously there will always be the fact that there will be the endless desire to play, it is for this reason that an addicted person cannot get rid of gambling once and for all, it would be something illogical and haha dangerous, the addicted person must continue playing but with increasingly smaller time intervals, until his cravings are replaced, which is very difficult.
8336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Manage Gambling Addiction an Open Discussion. on: July 21, 2022, 03:46:57 PM
Another tip is tell people your gambling challenge,  like some gamblers who are addicted find it difficult to tell people what they go through.  When this challenges is share among people around it will be more easy to tackle the life style.



I would not say that it is a lifestyle, because there are no people who have a lifestyle that is based only on gambling, and if there is someone who leads that lifestyle, they must have many debts. For me, a person who has a gambling lifestyle is something like, if they have a family, they put it at risk, usually the type of people like that arrive very late, usually they drink a lot of liquor and this begins to damage relationships and more so if you have children, because you really cannot offer a good future otherwise everything would be a mirage or something that does not make sense nor would it serve as the best example that can be given to them.

If you look at the bookmakers, Spain is the big favourite. But the differences with the rest of the countries are not very big. France is around 3.5 in odds, and the countries below that have about 5.0 to 8.0. The countries that are even lower have in principle no chance of becoming champions. The Netherlands is the reigning European champion, but Sweden managed to play 1-1 quite easily. I also thought that Sweden had the best football player in the world or was that a Norwegian one?
Like the majority, I believe that my inclination is towards Spain and France, legally this championship is usually measured a lot by the girls and their abilities, and in this football you can appreciate the technique of the players very well, for me this football is much more soft, you can see better movements of the players and strategies, as for the teams I think my biggest bet is on these two teams, and without any desire to belittle the other teams or detract from them, I think these countries show more performance , seto reminds me of the women's cup america that is also running, and it is very exciting.

Today, the neighbouring countries Germany and Austria meet. There's probably no doubt that Germany will win this game and Austria won't be able to score. Judging by the way Germany has played in previous games against strong teams, Austria has no chance today. I'm sure Germany will make it to the next round.

For me, Germany has a lot of weight, I've seen that the soccer teams that are from strong countries show it by women, Germany may win today, in fact, a good bet would be that they win, Austria for its part, they have a motivation that is be dangerous for Germany, I would say that even if I bought both teams, I would still go for Germany.

I think they also need a central midfielder to replace Modric. Although Modric still looks very agile, Anceloti needs updating. Benzema is still good but having a potential replacement is not wrong I think it will be profitable to start now. The senior madrid players on average may effectively play 3 years again. Maybe your thoughts are the same as mine, being afraid to start with young players. Madrid will fail in the transition period.

They have actually made their move to replace not only Modric but also Kroos already. Tchouameni has been brought to the team and he is the future of Real Madrid midfield together with Camavinga. I don't know if they would play side by side in the starting eleven already now but they are going to do so soon. Real Madrid are caring about making the team younger a lot. It is the key for them to be successful in the long run as well.
Yes, Real Madrid has started to regenerate players like Modric, Kroos. Actually they did that even last season, it's just that the intensity of the game is still bigger for them (Modric, Kroos and Casimero). I think next season they will start with a bit more rotation in the middle position. I see they will start to give time to their young players but it is still in their senior command.
For me, for now, I don't think Real Madrid will make many purchases, since the World Cup will be in November and many players will be seen, some will emerge and others will be recognized, this is a unique opportunity, and we all know that in this type of events Real Madrid usually chooses the best players to play with them, and obviously the youngest, Real Madrid for now will keep the most veteran players in its ranks and they will continue to enjoy their performance to the maximum, but even the same Players like Benzema know that they have to look for new horizons, just like Modric and some others.

Barcelona will be a strong competitor to Madrid this season. different from last season, when Barcelona experienced a big problem that disrupted the team's performance. but now I think Barcelona can play more consistently than last season.

every team has weaknesses, and so do Madrid and Barcelona. bringing in several players is one of the team's efforts to cover their weaknesses. once on the field, the consistency of the players in carrying out the coach's plans will win.
There are always a lot of positive points that Barcelona will get next season this time. I agree that every season is almost unpredictable and that is wide open for Barcelona as well, being a worthy contender for Real Madrid. Barcelona now with a terrible squad will definitely be the center of attention. Hopefully, this is the time we see Barcelona going to feast on goals.

I think that Barcelona currently has a very good opportunity, Lewa's entry into the team gives him a lot of morale and I think he can help the team a lot, however I see Barcelona that still lacks a lot, as they are now I still don't see him at such a level as tall as Real Madrid, I think they still need a couple of players, one to help Lewa and another very good one who is in midfield, in my personal opinion I think that a good football team begins to dominate and win from midfield.

Manchester United are after two players and both of them are Ajax players. I must admit that I'm not surprised.  Grin  Ten Hag knows his old players well of course and he wants to bring the ones who can be very useful. These seem like Antony and Lisandro Martinez for now. However they will need to pay around 100 million euros in total for both of them as it seems. Because Ajax aren't keen on selling them for cheap prices. I wonder if Manchester United will still sign both of them.

Ten Hag must be living nightmare days with cristiano ronaldo and his rebelliousness in not showing up for training, from what I understand cristiano ronaldo is sabotaging the team to leave manchester, but he forgets that with his age he is even being the best player in the In the world he won't have many teams willing to hire him due to his age and high salary he would ask for. I don't understand why he wants to leave manchester now and also in the newspaper they say that Erik ten Hag is angry with the management of manchester united for being delay in increasing the value of money to guarantee the signing of Lisandro Martínez and Antony

Although it is not a very professional behavior of CR7 I think his discontent is a fact, we all know that CR7 is a person who always comes first and leaves last after each training session, he makes the most of it and I think that is a clear a sign that he is no longer interested in being at the MU, for me the directors do not want to let him go because they feel that it was also his responsibility not to make them go to the UCL, but to be honest, in my personal opinion, if there is not a A good team that supports a star can't do much, he does a lot, but if he doesn't have players to support him at all times, nothing can be done.

Paulo Dybala is staying in serie a as expected after his departure from juventus turin on a free transfer. on wednesday as roma announced the signing of the argentine international striker.
P. Dybala receives a contract until summer 2025.
Is Mourinho still the manager of Roma?  I'm not sure how good Dybala is these days but he was decent from what I've seen of him more than a couple of years ago...  Let's hope he doesn't mess up Dybala's head like what he's famous for.  Lol.  He messed up the heads of the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Paul Pogba.  Both great players.  But for KDB, good thing he left the EPL for a while and found belief in himself while playing at the Bundesliga.

Jose Mourinho is still the manager of Roma, yes. And yes, I don't think that I have seen this player play up to his full potential in recent times as well. I don't know how I am supposed to judge this move but I have to say, considering the team which he was in previously, this does feel like a step-down. And another honest thing is that I never liked Jose Mourinho as a coach. You know, he destroyed a lot of careers. But I really hope that nothing like that is going to happen in this case. If anything Roma should perform better with Dybala in the team, I just hope that he does not get injured.

Well, Mou may be a very radical technical director in what he is looking for, and how he is, but I know that he wants the best for Roma, and I know that Dybala is a great option, he is a player who has a lot of experience, he knows very well. how to play for Roma, he has played alongside what I consider to be the best players of these times and I really think he will play a good role in the Argentina team at the World Cup, I think Mou has a good vision.

Although I'm disappointed with the news that Manny Pacquiao will come out of retirement by participating in an exhibition match, that's his life.
As a fan of Manny, just it's pretty disappointing to see him on the bandwagon on what Floyd has started for retired boxers. But we have to understand where Manny is coming from.
Well, I agree with both of you that it's really disappointing that someone who has said that he's retired for good, can't stand up to his words. But  I guess this is really all about the pay that he can get.

If there's a big offer to him and he can't decline, he'll take it.

He has spent that much money and he has to make money again and this usually is the mindset of the rich people including him, that when they have spent that much, they have to recover it in some ways that they can while they can.

Manny spent a lot of money when he runs for the presidency, it's time to get earn big money again, and I think he deserves to enjoy the exhibition fights since he is a legend, and for sure many fighters will like to fight with him and earn millions of dollars. Mayweather vs Pacman 2 in an exhibition fight, I think that's a good one, but hopefully, the split would be even.

We can't question Manny because he's now out of politics and he needs to make money again after losing the presidential election. There are really retirement announcements that could be broken for some reasons. Manny actually told everyone multiple times that he would have his last match but still had more. I guess as long as Manny still has the stamina to fight, he will never stop having matches.

I hope that Manny can take action, boxing really needs a boxer as iconic as him, above all I would like him to have that great well-deserved rematch with Mayweather, that for me that fight was very unfair, and something controversial where there is many things that were not clear to me, and where clearly the judges seemed to me to be very biased, perhaps at that time it was convenient for him to win and not a Filipino, because to speak truthfully, what Mayweather did was run around the ring and get behind each technical gesture taking advantage of his height, which is not very pleasant.Although I think the only thing these two can do for now is exhibition fights.
