I don't usually watch Asian teams besides World cups although World cups clearly shows Japan and South Korea are the strongest teams in Asia. They have many familiar players from European leagues in general. On the other hand Australia (ever since they joined Asia instead of Oceania) can also be competitive in this tournament. Iran may also achieve good positions.
It is sad that China is not doing good in football yet still with a billion population.
Japan and Korea are not the best of the football teams when you compare them with the Europeans and south Americans teams. Also China, India, Iran, Saudi Arab hasn't make any impact. I wonder why the Asian teams are not so strong as compare to the rest of the world?
Maybe the hot weather in Asia is not suitable for the football game or there can be any other reason? Lack of interest in this sport  Huh
I think we are currently talking about Asian football and not European or South American football and I think that if you don't support football matches being held in Asia then you can go to another thread that fits what you are saying and needs to be addressed. note that last season the points earned by Japan were in second place so this shows that Japan cannot be underestimated.

I really don't think China is that much interested in football. Otherwise, I think they should have done a lot better compared to what they are doing right now. and I also agree that Japan and South Korea are the strongest teams in Asia. I don't think these teams are going to be beaten by any other teams. I am actually hopeful about Iran also. maybe Saudi Arabia can also bring in some surprises this time.

After Boateng returned to Hertha Berlin last year and the contract only went for one year he extended it for another year. Now he has said that the coming season will definitely be his last and that he wants to end his career as a professional player. He is currently 35 years old and that is certainly a good time to step back a bit.
Even though they are quite old but boateng still has a fairly important performance and role for hertha berlin, his ability is still very much needed by hertha berlin for next season and that's why they still offer a contract even though it is short term for boateng, one of the big influences brought by boateng is when they struggled when stuck in the relegation zone and in fact, they had to play in the Bundesliga play-off round against Hamburg, Boateng experience and toughness in midfield were the reason hertha berlin rose in the second leg at that time.

His age has certainly taken a toll. He is not as sharp as before anymore. He was once a really good midfield player. But now he is 35 years old. he does not possess the skills that he once did anymore. I don't think people are going to expect too much from him in the next season. And this does look like a good time for him to hang up his boots.

Chelsea might be changing their route to Inter defender Skriniar currently. Because some rumours are claiming that Juventus aren't willing to sign him for any price unless Chelsea pay the release clause fee. As it is worth above 100 million euros I don't think Chelsea would lean towards this deal. Skriniar is also not a cheap player in fact as his current market value is 65 million euros. But maybe they might sign him for a cheaper price compared to de Ligt. Skriniar also would be a great transfer.

I really don't know if paying the release clause of 100 million is going to be a good idea. We have seen clubs spend quite a lot of money for a player which was overrated and suffered later. So, I will obviously say that it will be better if they take things slow and see if they can get him for less transfer fee or otherwise I think they should look for other options.

I think Benzema should be the player above everyone else. he was on fire in the last season. Robert Lewandowski also played well but he has a better team and he also does not face so much petition as Real Madrid does in the La Liga.
Benzema has a very high contribution to Real Madrid, no offense, but Benzema is really the best player right now. His contribution moreover in the very ate play game time also really shows who he is, the champion mentality. However, he is also supported great players all in the squad. We know that football is a unity of players, not only one. That is why Benzema and all squads really have their high contributuion.
I ehard about one of the reasons why Lewandowski willing to move to Barcelona is to prove that he is better than Benzema. Let's see it

Benzema was in peak form last season. And I hope he will be able to carry on with the same form in the next season. I don’t know if Robert Lewandowski wants to prove anything like being better than Benzema but he certainly doesn't wanna stay in Bayern Munich.



I ehard about one of the reasons why Lewandowski willing to move to Barcelona is to prove that he is better than Benzema. Let's see it
Yes, it's all over the news, at least in the Spanish news. Apparently this is what his agent said in an interview on Cadena Ser Radio.
In 1vs1 they do a comparison between the two players and they conclude that: 'Given all statistical values we believe that Robert Lewandowski is the better player at the moment.' This is debatable, but they make a detailed analysis.
We'll also have to see how Lewandowski performs in the next league.

If we just compare the last season between the two players I will say Benzema was the better player. At least he was playing in a league where it was a little bit competitive. In Bayern Munich, I don’t think Robert Lewandowski faces any hard competition at all. So in my opinion Benzema was the better player in the last season and I haven’t even talked about the champions league win.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 27, 2022, 10:07:19 PM
Lewandowski is Bayern's best striker to date and has scored many goals for Bayern, then it's actually a big loss for bayern if they let lewandowski off as a free agent next year. €60 million is not money that will be easy for barca to get (looking at their current financial condition), so I believe that barca will try to continue negotiating for bayern to reduce lewandowski's price.
currently Bayern are just waiting for the right price but I believe Lewandowski will definitely be released this season because it would be a big loss for Bayern if they don't sell him this season whose contract will expire next season of course if Bayern don't let him go next season Lewandowski will leave for free.
in terms of quality it is very reasonable if Bayern offers a high price but if you look at the duration of the contract, which only has 1 season left, they will definitely release the player at the price demanded by Barcelona, at this time it is only used as a drama by Bayern so they get more money .
and also Bayern have officially signed Sadio Mane as a replacement for Lewandowski, so it is very likely that Lewandowski will soon leave Bayern.

Bayern Munich actually should not keep Robert Lewandowski in the team anymore especially after he has expressed himself so bluntly. and I think they know that very well. they are just trying to find out the best offer that they will be able to get for this player. I think what Barcelona offered to Bayern Munich is a very good offer and it is not going to get any better than this. so if you want to sell him they should do it now because I don't think under current circumstances Barcelona is going to increase the offer anymore.

I totally agree with the OP. We might not witness Bitcoin price fall below $30k again. So, it probably better we take the present situation of Bitcoin as an golden opportunity, and accumulate more Bitcoin. You don't have to let your emotions control you. Also, you don't have to panic if the cryptocurrency keep dipping. Certainly, the price will bounce back. Although, newbie are those who usually panic and sell their coins whenever the price dip.
Yes, if there's a coin that we want to buy during this bear market there's no doubt it will be either bitcoin or eth. We can see that for the last few months, bitcoin shows dip value, we all witness its ATH last year but now bitcoin is around 20k, we can take this opportunity to buy bitcoin at this price, everyone asking is this the right time to buy? I will answer it yes, compare to last few months it is the best time to buy.

I think it is not a very wise decision to jump into bitcoin with all of your investments at a time.
Yes, I agree, this is the perfect time to buy but can't say this dip is the ultimate dip, it could be dropped furthermore.
So, I think if anyone wants to invest in bitcoin, he should split his total money and buy bitcoin gradually over the next few months.
I bought some bitcoin when it first dropped to 30K, then I speculate and set my next buying point at 20k.
Now my new target is 17K then 10K, I like to buy gradually and I will hold it until 2025.

The level of corruption is so high and swept across the nation and even the Nigerian Football Federation, and to curb this problem it will only be advisable to fight against these problems in the NFF particularly putting stop to favoritism, bribery and curruption in the player selection process and funding expenses relating to player welfare. We should also focus on building and scouting  talents from the grassroot to represent the nation that way we will improve and do better.
The name Giant of Africa is just a slogan, cause we are not working according to the name. The Nigeria football federation (NFF) is full of corruption and favoritism, they only value players playing in most of the European clubs, they don't give way to the young players to see if they can perform to our expectations.
-snip-

The Nigerian football team is not going to improve at all if it is plagued with corruption and favoritism. A lot of important personnel need to be changed. And punish him so that it is made to send a message. Currently, they are not doing so good right now as well. This really needs to change otherwise the team is not going to improve.

Yes, I also noticed this game and was very surprised with the result. I never imagined, a "small" team could beat Palmeiras (or tie), besides that, Palmeiras is currently in an excellent phase!
Really few were expecting Palmeiras to tie this game. It seems that the coach did some management of the squad for the game in Libertadores and the result was this draw. The fact of having a good advantage of points, allows to better manage each game thinking about other competitions, even at the risk of having less positive results.

I have to say it was quite a good defensive setup from both teams. Even though they had scored two goals each, both of the teams scored the first goal from a penalty kick. It was really surprising to see these two teams draw. Because I always thought in a matchup between these two, Palmeiras should be the winner. For me, the result was a little surprising.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread on: June 27, 2022, 09:08:07 PM
Many players don't feel like playing these matches at all. Of course we see that they give interviews and that they say that they are looking forward to it and that they want to win, but that is simply a moral obligation to the fatherland. Kevin de Bruyne was recently one of the few players to come out publicly saying that he had no appetite for these conference leg matches at all. Now it can be a preparation for the World Cup, but that is a coincidence.
This competition was created with the aim of ending friendly games. Therefore, it is normal for many players to take these games less seriously. As the competition is still very recent, it still doesn't generate much motivation. But with three or four more years of competition, I believe that mentality will change a bit.

I really don’t care too much about this competition because it is just a bunch of teams trying to fight between each other. So, I am personally not worried about whatever happens in this tournament. I don’t think the results are going to be very important for any team that is taking part in this tournament.

For more than ten years, Ballon d'Or has been dominated by Messi and Ronaldo. We saw Modric winning the prize four years ago which was the only time a different player winning it in this time period. However considering the previous season, I think the most deserving players are Lewandowski and Benzema. I'm a little indecisive between them but I assume that I will vote for Benzema in this.  Grin  Because it was a great season he had with Real Madrid. They became even the champions in the Champions League too and Benzema played a huge role in this as well.
It's true that this dominance has lasted since 2008 and only Ronaldo and Messi have always been the decorations for the Ballon d'Or winner, except in 2018 when Modric managed to transform into a player who could stop domination even if it was only for 1 season.
It would be very nice if there were other names there, but most likely it will be like that especially now that Messi and Ronaldo are actually under in terms of performance, although they are still giving good performances, they are still below Benzema or Lewandowski.

I think Benzema should be the player above everyone else. he was on fire in the last season. Robert Lewandowski also played well but he has a better team and he also does not face so much petition as Real Madrid does in the La Liga. and Benzema also saved Real Madrid multiple Times in the Champions League as well. Cristiano Ronaldo has played well but Manchester United did not do well as a team. And to be honest  Lionel Messi did not do much in PSG.
So Benzema should be the deserving one in my opinion.

I would pick pochettino over Galtier and they are switching these two for some reason. Can't they just get another manager? Isn't there one that they could afford to get and be better than Galtier? Are there any free agent managers out there this year?
I also sincerely wonder why the Paris Saint-Germain leadership wants to replace Pochettino with Galtier's candidacy, then it would be better to leave Pochettino in this post for now. Undoubtedly, the shadow of Zinedine Zidane will hang over any coach who dares to lead a club like Paris Saint-Germain in any case. By the way, a strange situation has now been organized that concerns the coaching positions of two clubs at once. Lucien Favre is unable to start working with Nice due to the fact that Galtier has not yet left the club. And Galtier cannot come to Paris Saint-Germain as head coach due to the fact that Pochettino and the club's management cannot agree on the amount of compensation for the termination of the contract. PSG, which finds tens and hundreds of millions to sign new coaches and players and extend existing players, is sparing money and does not want to pay the full amount due to Pochettino for breaking the contract.

PSG must have gotten the new coach because they were not able to get Zidane To be the manager of PSG. I don’t think this is going to change things a lot because to me both the coaches are about the same. So, I don’t think PSG should count on their coach to bring them really good results. And I am also quite sure that this coach will also not be able to handle the star-filled PSG

I dont know much about porto miedfielders but they sure do need some, especially with the disaster xhaka does and the red cards he takes if they sign martinez and lautaro it would be a successfull recruitment but i think they need some defenders at least a central back becauce gabriel did not do good last season.
Arteta is really trying to strengthen several lines that are considered very vulnerable, I think the arrival of Viera will be a pretty good addition to the Arsenal midfield especially so far Xhaka and Elneny are still far from their best performance, apart from that Martinez is very prioritized to guard Arsenal defense but maybe the high price will be a bit of an obstacle for Arsenal, Tomiyassu and Ben White frequent injuries of course make Arsenal defense often fragile and I think Martinez will be a strong wall for Arsenal defense later, in fact Arsenal still have a saliba in defense because this season on loan period at marseille has ended but it looks like Arteta doesn't have full faith for Saliba so Arteta still want Martinez from Ajax at this time.

Arsenal has really made some good decisions about the transfer.  they have already got  Gabriel Jesus confirmed to be on the team. And they are also eyeing some really good players. this is a really good sign from Arsenal and I think in the next season they are at least going to finish in the top four and I also think they will have a really good performance in the Europa League as well.

Richardlison might make a shocking move to Tottenham only if the Spurs are serious with the Brazilian deal. Tottenham might include Harry winks in the deal of Richardlison, the both clubs are looking for a swapping deal. If Tottenham sealed Richardlison deal in the coming weeks, then their Frontlines is already set for goal scoring next season. Tottenham Frontline will be among the best in EPL next season because we would be having Kane, Son, Kulesevki and Richardlison. It will be perfect and easy job for Anthonio Conte.
I do not think it is a shocking move if Richardlison moves to Tottenham, it will be a big move and also an upgrade clubside for Richardlison if Spurs can get the deal over the line. With Spurs playing champions league football, they need bigger squad depth full of quality and this is exactly what Conte is trying to bring to the clubside, an attacking depth of son, Richardlison , Kulesevki , perisic is a huge one for any clubside

Richardlison Moving to Tottenham can actually be good for them. I heard that they are trying to get Richarlison and Anthony Gordon both for 85 million. If they can actually end up completing that deal is going to be really great for Tottenham. Both of these players will be able to give the team a lot more stability.

We would like to see many players in the English Premier League of course as it is the most prestigious league in Europe now. However we never know how much that player could adapt to the league after playing in the Serie A for long years. I'm saying this for Andrea Belotti. He has been a part of Torino team for many years that it is unknown how much he can perform in a different league. I haven't heard about any English team being interested in him in the recent times as well.

In recent times the players who have gone to the English Premier League with quite big expectations from the Italian League have not performed as expected. obviously, the expectation was higher but 802 could not even perform at their own level best at all. So I think he should really be careful about what he is going to do about his future. really don't think that a sudden move to English Premier League can be a good idea.

it's probably almost 100% certain. Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer moves from dynamo dresden to hamburg for 1.2 million euros.
he still has to pass the medical check and then travels directly to the training camp in austria.
but.........1.2 million euros for a player from the third division is a lot of money  Wink  at least for the hsv !

Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer In the last season had 34 appearances in total and he has scored five goals and has five assists. He also has 6 yellow cards in his name. So I don't think these stats look really overwhelming for a player who plays as a center-forward. really don't know if the 1.2 million euros is going to be worth it.

ICC does not have any governance on domestic cricket therefore ICC cannot ask for any money from BCCI. Other boards can still schedule their international matches when IPL is played but the question is that will those players play for their country or will they play for the franchise. Let the players decide.
Most of the players run after the money and they do not care for the country even though it's their country that brought them to this level.
In simple words you mean to say money is more important for a player over his country. If IPL allows Pakistan player now, they will leave their countries game to play for IPL. The problem here is that India will not allow Pakistani players till this ruling party is defeated in election.
Now, PCB can scream but ICC will not hear it unless there are other big boards. Which will never happen unless they generate huge revenue.  Therefore IPL will win but bilateral matches will lose somewhat similar to EPL.

ICC is always going to look for money. they are going to look for places where they will be able to generate better money e instead of thinking about what is best for the game.  and it is true that unless the Pakistan cricket board starts making more money or at least close to the amount of money that BCCI generates,  ICC will probably never hear them.

Qatar is difficult to compare with other countries. It may be known to the general public for its wealth, but there is also a lot of poverty. Those images are of course not quickly shown to the outside world. I think that the football players in December will also get little or nothing from it. It was a very unfortunate choice to hold the World Cup there. However, there are advantages, a large crowd in that country is looking forward to the World Cup. And the home crowd will also be cheering Qatar on at their matches.
FIFA as the highest sports body in world football is showing direction as the host of the 4th annual event where Qatar has prepared a stadium to make the world cup successful this time, but a series of controversies have begun to blow where the Qatari government itself prohibits various prostitution.alcohol parties and free sex. where it is very close to western culture but the Qatari government implements that there should be no violation of law in the country but until now the statement issued by the FIFA cataract government does not dare to dispute this because they have been bought with money, and until now we also have not heard protests from FIFA officials regarding the application of the law

Qatar is going to be a good host for the world cup. There are a lot of rules but those are for the best. And I am someone who likes rules. Because with rules, we stand for something. Without rules we become very tolerant. So, I think it is not going to be a problem for the world cup.

But Kaufmann did not play very often for Hamburger SV from the start of the game. He was always a reserve. He also was a loanplayer from FC Copenhagen. So it was more a decision from the two clubs not to keep him in the team. I do not know how big the competition at Karlsruhe is and whether he can play more there.

In terms of playtime, I think he will get a good amount of it in his new team. And I have to agree with you because it is also true that if a player is not very much relevant to a team I don't think it is going to give his career any boost even if his team performs well. For a player to get noticed he has to play for a team where he is getting a good amount of play time. So, in that case, it can be said that he made the right decision.
899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 24, 2022, 04:17:20 PM

I think that the answer is really simple here that Bayern is trying to extract maximum money they can for Lewandowski, and despite their public statements that he won’t be sold believe me they’ll sell him. Lastly they’re also trying not to upset their fans who adore Lewandowski, hence if the odds yet look good then I feel that one can wager on Lewandowski exit as it’s bound to happen in coming days.

I think they don't have that much problem which we are talking about. They can easily sell this player if they want and there is not going to be too much of a problem because everyone knows it is not a bad idea to get 40 or 50 million for a player who is 33 years old. I think they are just not going to sell him because they have not found a good replacement. I don't think anything else is a good enough reason to keep this player on the team other than that.

since yesterday it is 100% perfect :
Mikkel Kaufmann is leaving hsv to play for karlsruher sc next season.
karlsruhe has lost its top scorer Philipp Hofmann. Hofmann moved from karlsruhe to vfl bochum in the first bundesliga.
i personally think mikkel is good and hope he plays a good season in bochum. he is a very likeable person.

good luck Mikkel !

I don't know if that is the best decision that could have been taken.
Mikkel Kaufmann might have had a better successful time with HSV compared to Karlsruhe sc.
Because HSV is more successful.
I know he is a good player and I hope he will be able to have a good performance in his new team.
