It's understandable why people call Ronaldo "Penaldo".  He scored another penalty goal and improved his statistics. But it was thanks to Ronaldo's shot that he got the penalty, and scoring a penalty goal is not an easy task. It's true that people expect Ronaldo to score more goals that aren't penalties, but it's undeniable that Ronaldo's presence in the team has helped a lot. I really admire him because at his age he still plays very well, unlike many young players who can't help their country's national team.  This game just ended in a 1:1 draw. South Africa with 17 points topping the group table. Now have automatically qualification to the 2026 World Cup tournament. While the rest team will struggle for the second place after which only one nation will qualify to play in the play off. I confess that I was shocked when I saw that Nigeria was unable to beat South Africa. It was supposed that with the squad that Nigeria has, they would be able to qualify easily in this group. This raises the following question: could the problem not be with the coaches that Nigeria has hired? because in my opinion it seems that the Nigerian Football Federation should consider hiring a coach who has shown that he has managed to win many titles both nationally and internationally. Someone who knows Nigerian players well.

When I read the thread, I wondered the following:
Gambling is a form of entertainment, but in the case of this doomscrolling, could it be classified as a form of entertainment? Who spends hours on social media scrolling through other people's photos and videos and finds it fun? It's acceptable to spend a few minutes browsing social media because there's news that people can be the first to see, they can also post things and interact with followers, in the case of people who make money from social media. Now, someone who doesn't make money from social media, spending 5 hours scrolling through other people's photos, honestly, how would that be fun?
I prefer to play in a casino, at least that way I have fun. I know that there are people who become addicted to gambling, but each person is responsible for themselves. So, you can't blame gambling. If people play in moderation, they won't become addicted and their lives won't be destroyed. Now, having an addiction to social media is extremely bad.

In my opinion, the first thing a person should do is ask themselves what sport they like. After that, start watching all the games of that sport they like, because only this way will the person get to know the players of each team and how each team plays. If a person really wants to bet on soccer games, for example, then they need to know which leagues they like and find it easier to watch the games and get information quickly, because in the world of sports betting, information about teams is very valuable.
Imagine there's a Chelsea vs Manchester United game. You don't know either of these two teams, so how will you know which one has the best chance of winning? If you only rely on the bookmaker's odds, you can make mistakes and lose money. It's true that bookmakers can place Chelsea as the favorite with odds of @1.30, for example. This is a very low odd that isn't worth it. However, if you know both teams well, you can choose to bet on the over or under goals market and get much better odds and win your bet.

In my case, I always prefer casinos that pay without problems. I don't focus on KYC. I know there's a risk of my documents being leaked, but this is a law that governments have decided, and casinos are simply obeying it. Therefore, there's nothing that can be changed. That's why I comply with KYC.
Now, accepting to use a casino that takes weeks to process a person's withdrawal and takes months to release people's winnings when they see that people played with little money but were lucky enough to win a lot of money is a bad idea. I honestly don't use this type of casino because it doesn't make sense.

Yes, the photo is not wrong, he left Tottenham and returned in a few weeks to another Premier League team.  Ange Postecoglou has agreed a deal to become the next Nottingham Forest head coach.
The contract will last until the summer of 2027 and an announcement could come as soon as Tuesday.
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11727/13427461/ange-postecoglou-nottingham-forest-set-to-appoint-former-tottenham-head-coach-after-nuno-espirito-santo-sackingSometimes I sit and ask myself: do most football managers take the time to watch other teams' games to stay up to date on the performance of other coaches in case they ever need to hire a coach? I confess that I tend to believe that the answer to my question is a big No. I say this because what I've seen in the world of professional football is not normal, and worse, coming from big leagues. How can you explain that a big team with a good coach, who fights for titles, hires a coach with few achievements? I'm talking about Inter Milan. Someone might think that this only happened in Italy, but no, it's happening in all leagues. An example is the case of this news. The previous coach managed to make the team stable and strong, at least it was at the top of the table. The guy was fired and in his place they hired a coach who couldn't put Tottenham at the top of the table. I honestly can't understand what logic was used in the hiring of Postecoglou.

I saw a post about someone returning to gambling after quitting for some time, maybe a year or more. But my concern is not more on the return to gambling, rather it is on the very question I am about to ask that requires your opinions if really we want to solve the problem of gambling and addiction into it
What could be the reason for his return and what can be done to manage such situation?
If someone isn't addicted to gambling, but they have a very limited budget and need to pay bills, they'll stop gambling because it's the best solution. But the day they have a very high budget, they'll start gambling again. In this case, they're acting very well and with a strong sense of responsibility. Now, when we have a case where someone is addicted to gambling, goes to a rehab clinic, is cured, and a year later starts gambling again, what usually happens is that the person who was addicted to gambling, after leaving the clinic, must have encountered the same problem that led to their addiction, which is why they started gambling again.

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet. Liverpool are playing okay — not great — and even though they have all 9 points, there are clear issues in their defense. Not to mention, Salah doesn’t look like the old Salah we’re all used to.
They’ll probably win, but not without some drama. I’d say 1–2 to Liverpool.
I agree with you. Liverpool played well, but there was a slight decline in their defense. And we have to say, their defense isn't as solid as last season. There are several gaps that opponents seem to be able to exploit. Fortunately, this team's attack level is still top-notch, but Liverpool is still better. Oh yes, Liverpool will also face a tough opponent in the Champions League. In the opening round, they will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. And I think that will be a good test for this team. It's true that in these first few games, the defense remains terrible. I say continues because last season we lost the European Champions League and the FA Cup because we had a terrible defense. Now, I haven't seen any major improvement in defense this season. Just look at the top teams, we have a staggering scenario: 1 - Liverpool = 3 games, 4 goals conceded
2 - Chelsea = 3 games, 1 goal conceded
3 - Arsenal = 3 games, 1 goal concededIn other words, we're averaging 1 goal per game. Fortunately, we didn't concede a goal in the game against Arsenal. Maybe that means we've made some improvement in defense. We'll see how things go in this weekend's game.

Potential winning can only be yours when all you predicted games went as plan, some gamblers already see their potential win as there own which is bad when the game hasn't played, what makes gamblers loss entirely everything when gambling is greed when am been given a reasonable amount to cash i always make use the cash out button to make sure i never lost entirely no matter the game that is remaining as long as no game is sure as long as football or gambling is involved so i can have another staking power to bet another game.
I've also been using this strategy when I make my multi-bet bets and place many teams. As soon as I see that the profit exceeds 3x, I prefer to use the cashout option. I've been using another rule: after using the cashout option, I don't look at the results of the remaining games. This is to avoid feeling guilty if I've won all the remaining games. There was a time when I had made a parlay with 10 games, I won 8 games, and I cashed out because I didn't want to be greedy. It turns out that later I got curious and went to see how my multi-bet was going and discovered that after all, I could have won the remaining games, and with that, I would have made a big profit. At that moment, I got angry with myself and created the rule that I shouldn't watch the remaining games after I cashed out.

although I didn't follow up that match, but when I checked Livescore I was surprised, because the score I saw spain beat turkey 6:0 which was never expecting to see such thing because turkey team is not a week team, but there is one thing you guys should understand that in football anything can help, normally nobody was expecting Spain to beat turkey 6:0, because turkey also had good team, and I believe turkey team is still in good performance, but not like the one of Spain. So things like this one of Spain and turkey due happen in football.
in my opinion, the reason turkey conceded six goals and failed to score even one was that their team structure lagged far behind spain's. when turkey briefly had possession of the ball, we didn't see clear passes or a fast attack organization, and they immediately lost the ball to spain. in contrast, spain, when in possession, scored goals by comfortably passing through the midfield and defense in a very organized manner. spain is a team with a fast-paced understanding, and turkey couldn't handle this difference in the team. I didn't watch the game, so it's very difficult to correctly analyze what happened. But the fact is that Turkey now needs to improve a lot in defense so that in the next game they don't concede many goals against a weak opponent on paper. Because in this group, Turkey is the team that has conceded the most goals the humiliation that the players suffered could negatively affect them, especially the defense players who will feel guilty. What makes me even more shocked in all of this is seeing that the Turkish national team failed to score at least one goal.

Well you never can say, it's football and anything can happen I mean there are teams that have done it before so it's very much possible that PSG can replicate their previous success although it's not going to be easy as most of the big teams are well aware of their pattern of play so they will likely more match their energy and make it very difficult for them to win. The Champions League is filled with lots of strong teams and most of them are now equipped with quality players ready to win the league.
PSG doing the same as they did last season in the champions League will be miracle, I know that football can give silly results sometimes but I will want to ask, hope you have watch PSG play at the recent time, no doubt they are big team, do you see them as a team that can defend the title this season, I know that they answer might be we won't know, my own answer is I don't think so, Liverpool is hot in the EPL other teams are still not taking things easy, I even forget to mention Barcelona, even Realmadrid that PSG defeated last season won't want such Mess to repeat itself again, so it might be the same way they did it last season, however it is early to conclude, let's allow event to keep unfolding to see who takes the title this time. Last season, PSG had a lot of difficulties in the first games of the Champions League, they had defeats, strangely enough, even so, because of the new format, they managed to reach the final and become champions, but if it were in the old format, I highly doubt they would be able to be champions, for this season I don't know, I say this because it could be that they start very badly again in the European Champions League but then reach the final and become champions again. This is because many big teams in Europe are going through a bad phase, it makes things much easier for PSG

You’re spot on! It is obvious PSG’s dominance in the French league is because of how rich the club is, they have the finances and influence to build their team to a certain level unlike other average teams in the league that are unable to make significant and noticeable signings to build their squad to match PSG’s squad and gives them tough competition.
That is just the fact. PSG are the only strongest and more favorable to dominating the French league, mostly in every season, which we all know. They are the richest in the league, and it will not be easy for any of the other teams in the league to even be a threat to them. That is why most of the time, the Ligue 1 games are always boring, because there is not that much competition in the league, and this makes the game look so predictive and boring. I don't think that PSG dominance in the French ligue 1 is only due to the fact that PSG is rich I will not agree with you on that because in today football there is financial fair play rule that applies,so a team can't go and bring money from another source of income to sponsor a team the truth is that other teams in this league are not just serious about competing and this is not only limited to the French ligue they don't even do well in European competitions. Until the rest of the clubs start to think about winning a trophy and challenging PSG they will continue to be under the shadow of PSG because looking at the just concluded transfer market how many teams in the French ligue 1 actually bought top quality players. I have also defended the same thing, I even gave the example that Mbappe was a Monaco player, and with Monaco he did not win Ligue 1 consecutively, he was not even famous at Monaco, and was sold to PSG where he was more valued and became popular, at PSG he was not valued because the club is rich, in my opinion he was valued because PSG has managed to hire good coaches who knew how to guide Mbappe well, and that is what the other Ligue 1 teams are missing, they need to have good coaches and management that is committed to winning titles and not just thinking about selling players to have a lot of money and not doing anything relevant for the club

After my country Mozambique suffered a great humiliation in the last game against Uganda in which we lost and conceded 4 goals, in a game in which we did not score any goals, today we managed to win and score 2 goals  Knowing how crazy people are who run my country's football, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they had sold the game to Algeria. The way my country lost is very strange. The coach didn't put the team captain in and only announced this just one day before the game. This immediately raised a red flag in my head. I could be wrong, but it's very obvious that the president of my country is in Algeria, and my country loses 4-0 and loses the chance to fight for qualification. My country's leaders are corrupt, bloodthirsty, and do everything for money. Those gentlemen never thought about the people.

so if I will be betting on this game, I will be going with the option of XorGG because their is a higher probability that this game might earn in a draw or both teams to score, but avoid staking on it entirely is better to me because this game seems like a difficult one to predict. I confess that I didn't understand what it means to bet on "XorG"? I agree that betting on Atlético Madrid's victory is a high risk, although I believe that those who like to bet on the underdog will bet on Atlético Madrid, because of their history and reputation. But Villarreal doesn't seem to have a guaranteed victory in this game; in my opinion, it's more of a draw. I wouldn't bet on both teams. I'd rather bet on other good games this weekend. There are many games, but the question is whether I'll be able to get it right because I'm reading news about players from big teams getting injured. That's another problem, which is why I haven't bet on any teams yet. I'm waiting for the national teams' games to finish and see which teams are affected by injuries.

Al Hilal always gave the impression to be a better built team compared to the other ones. The don't have any real superstar but they have many extremely good players in all roles. Al Nassr is all about Ronaldo, and this is both a blessing and a curse. I also like a lot Al Ahli because despite the limited amount of foreign players they obtain excellent results. To be honest at the end the most disappointing team has been Al Nassr, everybody were expecting them to win everything and they ended up with nothing.
Sometimes you don't need superstars to shine as a team, just like you said, they have many extremely good players in all roles, that alone is enough to make a team unstoppable. Just have players that are good in their different positions and you're good to go. Last season Al Littihad were so good that they beat both Al Hilal and Al Nassr, infact there was even this very match that Al Nassr were leading with 2 - 0 but at the end, it ended in Al Littihad winning 3 - 2 on the night. But Al Littihad has Karin Benzema, who was a goal-scoring machine at Real Madrid. He left Real Madrid on his own accord. He could still be playing there today. I consider him a Real Madrid hero. When we were losing and the coach brought in Karin Benzema, I immediately had high expectations for him, and he didn't disappoint. He managed to score an equalizer and a winning goal. He was always a great player. He stopped playing for the Franca national team because of a disagreement with the Franca national team coach. If Benzema had a lot of media attention, he would be getting a lot of attention today. Consider that this season, he played one game and scored three goals.

Bayer Leverkusen is already looking for a new coach, and we can see that they are now looking to hire the head coach of the Danish national team.In fact, the coach's special quality is that he is fluent in both Danish and German, which makes the German club's management believe that he will adapt to the club very quickly. So it is largely true that the team is now placing more importance on this new manager after the sensational dismissal of Erik ten Hag, although the name of Ange Postecogluo was also associated with this club but they might want to work under a Danish coach. It is true that Kasper Hjulmand should take over at this German club much sooner because they need a lot of improvement.  In my opinion, both coaches would be a terrible option. I say this because, looking at the history of both coaches, they are not coming from successes in other teams; on the contrary, they are coming from failures. It is very difficult for a coach who is coming from failure in another team to be able to make a team that is doing well achieve great results. Everything gets worse when the coach failed in a rich team and comes to a failed team with few financial conditions. This coach is doomed to fail. In my opinion, Leverkusen, having sold some of their good players, became a weak team. Now, with the dismissal of the coach who made the new signings and with the market closing, the new coach will not be able to sign new players. Therefore, these two coaches will fail.

I just read this news:  𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Trabzonspor and Man United have 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 for André Onana!
Club to club agreement done today on initial loan and final decision on move now only up to André Onana…
Cameroon goalkeeper will decide on his future soon. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1964330596861174054André Onana left a good club for Manchester United and destroyed his career. The guy is 29 years old. If he hadn't made the serious mistake of going to Manchester United, he would be among the top teams in Europe today. But now he will have to go to a small team in the Turkish league, I say small when compared to Galatasaray which is a big and very good team. If André Onana had been lucky enough to go to Galatasaray, his career would be in good hands. But he was unlucky enough to go to Trabzonspor, who didn't buy him. I predict he will return to Manchester United and will be loaned out again to a small club. If actually this news is true it will be a good one instead of Onana to be left in the bench it's better that he go for a loan and have some quality playing time, Trabzonspor is a top team in the Turkish super league so this move will help Onana very well. Onana is a very good goal keeper and we saw that when he was in Ajax the problem still remains that Even if Onana leaves that Manchester United team united will still conceive many goals because it's not about the players or goal keeper, but something is fundamentally wrong with this United team and that is not having a good management. United has not still gotten a coach that will bring out the best in the United players. the news is true and the problem with this is the amount he will receive as salary: 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐃: André Onana will earn 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 at Trabzonspor as part of the deal
Trabzonspor will cover Onana’s current salary at Man United plus signing fee and bonuses to make it higher.
The contracts have been signed, medical this week in order to make official announcement very soon
https://www.instagram.com/p/DOVVeRZiJLc/Analyzing the cost-benefit ratio, it doesn't make sense. I say this because he's not a goalkeeper who performed well, so why the hell would he have to earn a higher salary than Trabzonspor's current players? That doesn't make sense to me. I even see Trabzonspor leaving with financial losses and they could also lose games due to the goalkeeper's mistakes. In my opinion, what should have been made was an agreement based on objectives. He would start with a low salary, and when he proved his worth, they could then raise his salary, but the increase should be gradual. I don't understand why Trabzonspor's management didn't do this.

There were games that really shocked me with their results, for example:
Lithuania 2 - 3 Netherlands
Honestly, I didn't expect the Netherlands to concede 2 goals in that game, because they weren't playing against a strong opponent; on the contrary, they were a very weak opponent. That was another game.
Turkey 0 - 6 Spain
How the hell did Turkey concede 6 goals? We are talking about a very important game, a World Cup qualifier, but they conceded 6 goals, they couldn't score at least 1 goal. How was that possible? Turkey was supposed to be the second strongest team in that group, but after that defeat, I see them with little chance of qualifying.

In my opinion, the only one to blame is the coach. This is because he's the one who hires the players, designs the entire strategy during the game, creates the team's formation, and decides which position each player should play on the field. Players don't decide to play in whatever position they want, so when a team loses, the only one to blame is the coaches. There are many examples of teams that had many losses, but when they changed coaches, those same teams started playing well and achieved good results, proving that a team's success depends on the coach.

Quitting addiction is not an easy task. I've had addicted relatives who took years to recover. We spent years chasing them to recover. When we put them in a rehab clinic for months, they were cured. It turns out that when they met with an addicted friend, they would return to the world of addiction and disappear from home. We spent months searching for them until, when we found them, it was a sight that made our eyes and head hurt because his body was so thin.
We would pick him up and put him back in a rehab clinic. This cycle only ended the day he died. Months ago, I realized that one of my relative's employees was an addict. The guy doesn't want to quit the addiction even though he sees that his body and mind are slowly failing.
|
|
|
I see that if a company is profitable and also thinks about seeing people mentally healthy, then taking measures that enable a reduction in cases of addiction is always very welcome. I just hope that the company is really being serious and not just making statements in the press to gain people's attention while behind the scenes they make other decisions. Because I've seen many cases where companies pose in the media as companies that want the well-being of people while behind the scenes they are acting badly.
