The salary Mbappe is receiving in PSG with a new contract is insane which he can not find in other clubs. If big clubs keep raising their salary ceilings, soon we will see massive collapses in finance from them. I do think they know about risk they are facing with if they join the insane salary race.

Mbappe if want to join another big club, he will have to sacrifice his salary and accept a lower salary. He has to choose between winning trophies, personal awards rather than receiving highest salary. Honestly, at PSG level, they are already in a top range in Europe but to win trophies, awards, Real Madrid is a better choice for Mbappe. Beyond Real Madrid, I can not find another good club for him.

But one risk factor, the long time President of Real Madrid Florentino Perez is already too old and that club can have big change in upper structure any time. That can put Real Madrid in a few years of crisis if it happens.

Team and manager are free too choose winners. It is not easy to pick winners by criteria, formulas like math. We are talking about arts which are more challenging to get consensus from different people.

In Roobet contest, winners are chosen by team and manager, not by community votes so participants should accept decisions of the team and manager.

I also don't think choosing winners from community votes is a good idea because it can be manipulated by shady lobbious activities from participants and their friends.

He did not have chance to play for Bayern because they have Neuer who played well and is their legendary goalkeeper. Neuer has good reputation in Bayern and Germany and unless he has too bad form, it is difficult to send him on bench.

Ulreich will have a very good opportunity to find a good position in Bayern with Neuer injury. If Ulreich performs well, he even can become a main goalkeeper for Bayern in a next season. Neuer soon will be impacted by ageing and will perform worse.

They had plan with Sadio Mane but not all plans can work as expected and they had it with Mane. Bad adaption in Bayern and got an injury, Bayern did not plan it when they bought Mane to replace Lewandowski.

No striker at Lewandowski level in Bayern at the moment but with their good system and good midfielders, they can help a normal striker like Choupo-Moting played better. However, it is only fine in Bundesliga, in Champions League, they can not get good contribution from a normal striker like Choupo-Moting.

Benzema can not fight against his ageing like other players. This season can be a start of his failure against ageing. We saw it in Cristiano Ronaldo too.

However, Benzema lost his chance to play in World Cup not only because his injury but perhaps France coach and players did not need Benzema to play World Cup with them. So they sent him back to his club and three days later, he recovered well.

Unless he gets another injury in next one month, he will be able to play in February because before World Cup final, he already recovered and played one half of a friendly match with Real Madrid.

Back in 1990s to 2000s, Serie A is the most exciting league and La Liga even had less star players than Serie A. They are biggest league in these two decades but lost it to La Liga and Premier League. They even lost a third position to Bundesliga in some seasons.

It's hard for Serie A to reclaim it because Premier League now is too big and it has perfect marketing which helps their clubs to receive big income from television rights.

8 or 9 points are only big difference if Napoli won't lose many points. If they lose in two matches, differences will become 2 and 3 points that are no longer big and safe difference for them.

They won it with Maradona and this year, Argentina won World Cup after 36 years. Will Napoli win a first Scudetto after 39 years?

France scored their goals because of Argentina mistakes from Otamendi first and a third goal is a mistake of VAR referee team. I believe that penalty can be rejected by VAR team because the defender of Argentina did not let his arm too open and it is an unavoidable arm touch from him after a powerful kick from Mbappe.

A hattrick and two of them are from penalty. I only recognized what Mbappe did in the final in a second goal and a few dangerous personal attacks when Argentina players were tired and can not catch Mbappe with his high speedy run.

In World Cup 2022, Messi did tried a lot and run more than he usually run in non World Cup 2022 matches. He won it not only by being lucky but by playing and fighting seriously for his dream. His dream after all became true. He lifted the trophy a first time and last time too. Now he can retire with full satisfaction for his career achievement.

Mbappe already won one World Cup but he has yet won Euro, Champions League and Ballon d'Or. At Mbappe age, Messi already won a few Ballon d'Ors.

He has time to play for Real Madrid and months ago, when he was asked about his plan after this contract expiration, he said he will end his career in Madrid, with Real Madrid, not with another club.

Benzema retired his career with his national team France. He announced it one day after World Cup 2022 final match. It is predictable after the latest unfair treatment of France and Deschamps for Benzema.

I can not verify news about Benzema vs Deschamps relationship is true but Benzema career with France is not smooth. He has a national career like Eric Cantona and David Ginola especially King Eric Cantona. Benzema and Cantona have successful careers with their clubs (Real Madrid for Benzema and Manchester United for Cantona) but their careers with France are very bad.

They did not have many chances with their national team and both Cantona, Benzema ended their national career without any title.

Giroud is a traditional striker and his favorite area is within a box or not too far from it. He owns unique skills that help him to be a goal productive striker even he isn't too clever technically.

It is a little hilarious and bitter for Giroud because he won World Cup 2018 without a single goal but in World Cup 2022, he scored four goals and did not win it. Life is not fair for everyone and Giroud is lucky enough to have one chance to lift World Cup trophy in 2018.

At Giroud age, World Cup 2022 is his last World Cup. No chance for him in World Cup 2026 in the USA. because France has many young talents. Nkunku is a best one among young players you listed.

AS Roma are fighting for a spot in top four, not top six.

In a few matches before World Cup 2022, AS Roma form was bad because of Dybala absence by his injury. Dybala recovered and was back in World Cup semi final and final matches. He will be ready for AS Roma and Serie A and it is a good supplement for them.

Dybala has big contributions for AS Roma and is very important for their attacking system. I hope Dybala will bring his winning mood from World Cup 2022 to Roma and helps them to achieve big things in Serie A and Europa League.

Lorris is one of best goalkeepers in World Cup 2022 and Argentina goalkeeper won the award because his team won this World Cup. Personally Lorris, Emilliano, Livakovic, Bounou had very good World Cup. It is not easy to say what goalkeeper is the best by their performance. In final match, both Lorris and Emilliano did their jobs mostly well the same. If France had won World Cup 2022, Lorris would have won the personal award, not Emilliano.

Same for the personal award for Messi, if France had won World Cup, Mbappe will take that award, not Messi. Mbappe is only 23 now and he has about 10 more years to play. He will have at least 3 more World Cups to fight for his second trophy. At World Cup 2034, Mbappe will be at his 35 years old like Messi this year.

Eden Hazard is a mysterious transfer for Real Madrid. Did he suddenly turn to be more vulnerable with injuries after moving from Chelsea to Real Madrid? Or did Chelsea knew about his medical problems and decided to sell him to Real Madrid?

I am more thinking about the second reason that Chelsea knew that Hazard will no longer to play well by advice from their medical staffs. Real Madrid were trapped by Chelsea to buy Hazard with expensive cost.

Real Madrid have many successful transfers and many failed transfers too. In history of their club, they actually succeeded more than failed in many seasons. Danilo failed to meet Real Madrid expectation on him but at least he is a good player and can be chosen for Brazilian squad. At least Danilo is still a better transfer than Jonathan Woodgate from Leeds United in the past.

Mbappe played very bad in about first 70 minutes but he suddenly scored two goals for France. Starting by a mistake of Otamendi, Mbappe scored 1 then 2 goal to bring France back to the match. Later he scored another third goal, another equalizer for France. In the final, France made lot of challenge and fear for Argentina after Deschamps sent some strong and fast players in like Marcus Thuram, Kolo Muani, Kingsley Coman, Camavinga.

I felt Argentina should lose that match because their coach, Scaloni was very late with substitutions and before two appearances of Lautaro Martinez and Paolo Dybala, Argentina were mostly at verge of failure with big pressure from France. A substitution of Marcos Acuna for Angel Di Maria is a failed one too.

France lost a chance to be a first team can protect their trophy after Brazil many years ago. Mbappe will return to PSG with bad mood and relationship with Messi and Neymar. Neymar congratulated Messi but did not show anything for Mbappe.

Will PSG be able to win Champions League with internal conflict of their biggest attacking players?

Real Madrid are not only rich but also very smart. They have better transfer strategy than Barcelona. They have better finance than Barcelona and use their money on transfer market smarter than Barcelona.

They invest in future with youth players and in the past two seasons, we see Valverde, Rodrgyo, Vini Jr., Tchouameni, Camavinga are growing from young players to star players. Endrick can be a new successful transfer for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are smarter than Barcelona because they confidently sold their old players at expensive price like Ozil, Ronaldo, Casemiro to other clubs. Barcelona are oppositely worse, they bought players with expensive costs and sold at very cheap costs. Coutinho, Suarez, Griezman are examples of their bad transfer strategy.

With big clubs, being able to play in Champions League means a lot for them. It secures their finance and balance sheet for that season. If suddenly in one season, they can not play in Champions League, their income will be lower a lot. Even it is only at a group stage, difference of income is big already. If they go farther like Round of 16, quarter or semi-final, income from Champions League will be bigger.

Losing income from Champions League is terrible for big clubs which have big salary burden for their star players. After a bad season, they will get more harmful effect by being less attractive with star players. That makes them harder to convince star players to join their clubs when they have big demand to increase their competitiveness with new star players.

Consequences are a lot, not only income but related to a few seasons after that.

Defensive players like Makelele, Mikel, Kante have problems when they get older. It's because they have to use their strength and energy to run, tackle, do face to face competitions. Their bodies only get worse and weaker with higher ages.

Kante is not exception as we see that he is getting more injuries in recent seasons.

This World Cup belongs to two best tournaments of Griezman for France. Another one is Euro 2016 when France was beaten by Portugal in the final match.

The absence of Pogba and Kante gave Griezman opportunity. In World Cup 2022, he was used differently than before. He has to run more to cover Mbappe's laziness and special rights to be free of defense. But Griezman also contributes well to France attacking too.

In the last season, they had to play too many matches which affected their performance in this season. Klopp was too optimistic after lost in Champions League final match last season. He did not imagine that season will make his players tired physically.

Nunez will play very important role in Liverpool after World Cup. He will be a most second important player in Liverpool attacking, after Mohamed Salah.

Top four is in their hands but load of works must be done by Liverpool. They have disadvantage to other competitors so they must work harder in rest of season.

Is it coincidence as both Ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo complained about professional of Jadon Sancho and his lack of training?

I guess it reflects a problem of this young player in Manchester United. After an expensive transfer from Dortmund, he got more pressure, more expectation but at the same time receive higher salary each week. His problems can be mentally with pressure and expectation but can also be from his bad ability to use his salary. With too high salary, he might use it badly and is distracted from his main job, training and playing well on field.

How does a layer 2 project can take over the layer 1 project?

It is impossible in theory and in reality, it won't happen too. If I use my capital to invest in either Ethereum or MATIC, I am sure I will go with Ethereum, not MATIC. Ethereum does not need to prove anything more but MATIC has to upgrade a lot and must be tested a lot by community and bear market.

I don't invest in MATIC because others are hyped about its potential which is not real. Potentiality of a project is shown more clearly in bear market not in bull market. MATIC must have to go through another bear market, in 2025 or 2026, to be considered as a strong layer 2 project.

Real Madrid succeed with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo and these players even can grow more. They are trying to use a same strategy for Endrick by give him and his family a good contract at his very young age.

With the height of three players, I don't think any of them are good at the striker position for Real Madrid. I believe that Real Madrid will have to look for another striker from transfer market. But maybe these players will create a trio attacking like MNS (Messi - Neymar - Suarez) in Barcelona years ago. None of three players have good heights and Vini, Rodrygo, Endrick can create a similar trio attacking.

Ethereum is a second biggest cryptocurrency, a biggest alternate cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency market dominance: BTC: 39.4%; ETH: 18.3% according to Coinmarketcap

2 days ago, CFTC declared (again) that they consider ETH as a commodity, not as a stock.

CFTC declares Ether as a commodity again in court filing

If ETH is not considered as a stock, it is very good for them, for ERC20 tokens, for cryptocurrency market generally.

In addition, it is good for Ripple XRP with their lawsuit against SEC too.
