This news has spread everywhere and not only that, Ronaldo is also outspoken regarding his relationship with Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo admits that he has lost respect for the Dutch manager.
They both disrespect each other but I don't know who actually started it. It looks like Ronaldo began it in summer but before Ten Hag's unprofessional disrespect to Ronaldo, Manchester United disrespect their player too. They did not know what they should do, what they want from Ronaldo and what Ten Hag actually need. If they let Ronaldo leaving, it would not be bad like this.

Quote
With this controversial interview, Ronaldo's career at Man United could be over. It is highly likely that he will choose to leave Old Trafford once the January 2023 transfer window opens.
I think without Ronaldo Manchester United will still be a big club
Yeah, very likely his career in Old Trafford ends and he will choose another club in January after World Cup. Big clubs will look at his performance in World Cup to consider about transfer. I think Ronaldo will have to choose tier-2 clubs like Arsenal Napoli. These clubs suddenly join title races in this season and they might need supplements to increase their chance to win title races.

BTC will make it, but might be a long winter."
Long but how long, he did not tweet about how long.

We all know the bull market usually starts a few months before a halving day of Bitcoin. Let's see when would be a next halving day of Bitcoin? We don't know the exact day at the moment but we can estimate it based on Bitcoin block time (in average it is 10 minutes). Halving happens after 210,000 blocks and a next halving would happen in May 2024.

Did Elon mean 1 more year and a half is a long winter?

Boo hoo, poor Ronaldo. He can say whatever he wants, what matters is that he does not run, he does not press and he does not play well. United is a better team without him, they were last season as well.
He won't shock anyone at the World Cup, and Portugal will do a lot better if they put him on the bench as well.
He did have bad preparation in pre-season time and did have bad performance in the season so far. It is all bad  preparation for his last World Cup and I don't think he will play well in World Cup.

Especially in Portugal, he will not get good support from other Portugal players. That team is not too good and their operations are very smooth and it is not a good thing for Ronaldo because he is no longer able to create chances and score goals by himself. At his age, he needs more support from other players.

This is the main consideration that we must pay attention to. Not Ronaldo, but Manchester United is bigger than him. A little emotional when I heard the interview. He shouldn't have had to publicly disclose his situation. Without Manchester United he would not be a professional footballer who is famous all over the world.

His confession to Piers Morgan made him feel like a child. Manchester United fans can see and judge for themselves how he looks when played. Admit it or not, age can make a player's performance decline and his era is over.
No more chance for Ronaldo to play in Manchester United after this leak. I am not sure what he said is truth or lie but even it is truth, he did knew that after leaking all internal information, secret like this, his career in the club is ended.

Quote
Now Manchester United is preparing a new star who will shine beyond Ronaldo's rays.
With the condition of Manchester United in this season, it's hard for them to attract star players or super star players. They must complete this season within top four of Premier League and be eligible for Champions League 2023 - 2024. It will help them to sign with super star or good star players. Their current standing is good enough to end this season in top four.

A very surprising result where lazio had to lose to the host Juventus with a score of 3-0. 2 goals were scored by Moise Kean and 1 goal was scored by Arkadiucz Milk. With this result, Juventus managed to shift Lazio's position in 2nd place in the Standings and Lazio had to drop to 4th in the standings, after AC Milan managed to secure its victory against Fiorentina with a score of 2-1 at the San Siro.
This defeat of Lazio shows that Serie A in this season will be so exciting. Many clubs are unstable and they have very closely differences that result in big changes on a ranking table after one or two match days.

Juventus after all the crisis they had in early of season, now stand at the third position and they even can claim the second position of AC Milan in next one or two matches.
Lazio with this defeat will have to struggle to stay in top four.

AC Milan did make a good job by beating Fiorentina with only one goal difference. It is not a big win for them but three points are important for them to not falling behind Napoli too much.

After yesterday's matches, we already know the final arrangement of the Serie A table in this year. In first place, in great form, Napoli, who have not lost a game and currently have a comfortable eight-point lead over second-placed AC Milan.
Serie A would be more interesting if Napoli lose their win streak. One or two defeats from Napoli will bring a lot of hope for other clubs to catch Napoli. I wish Napoli to become a champions in this season but in a more sensational race.
1905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: World Cup 2022 - Crypto.com sponser on: November 14, 2022, 03:28:24 AM
If they are main sponsors for World Cup, it is very great chance for them to advertise Crypto.com globally. The tournament is very big and billions of people globally will watch many matches during the tournaments directly at stadiums, online via televisions, highlights after matches.

I only feel some other things. During past several months, I saw collapses of Terra, FTX which sponsored for some stadiums. I hope Crypto.com won't fall into same terrible steps of Terra and FTX.

If they succeed, it is good for all crypto enthusiasts because there will be no more black swan event from exchange, panic will slowly disappear.
1906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will FTX became the second Luna? on: November 11, 2022, 02:43:45 PM
It may be too early but at the same time investors cannot really afford to wait anymore to determine if FTX will follow Luna’s footsteps, whenever rumors like the ones that circled around FTX appear and then they are confirmed that is the moment to take action immediately and accept whatever losses you got and drop the coin, as you never know if you will have the opportunity to drop the coin or get your money out of the exchange in the future, and at least when it comes to be able to withdraw your capital it seems this is not possible anymore as FTX has halted withdrawals already, and as we know whenever this happens there is a very high chance that a collapse is imminent.
It will be less serious than Terra in loss of their token value. Why do I think so?

Because FTT does not have an automatic minting algorithm like Terra $LUNC and $UST. At least, by algorithm, there is no terrible massive minting like Terra. If Sam won't do stupid things to mint more $FTT like what Do Kwon decided to do in May 2022, $FTT will not have a terrible crash like Terra.

And I really believe that Sam will not do this. He is smart enough to make a right decision and he will not want to go to jail. The USA has more serious regulations than South Korea. So far Sam said FTX US is fine, only FTX international has issue with liquidity.

Perhaps you meant the Europa League? Arsenal are playing there this season. I think in relation to City they have an advantage in this sense, because if Arsenal will fly out of the Europa League, then no one will pay attention to it (assuming good results in the Premier League), but if City fly out of the Champions League, then everyone will make fun of it and Guardiola will be fired.
Europa League is a little bit easier than Champions League but if Arsenal or other clubs fight for trophy in either Europa League or Champions League, they will have to use their player resources for it. It will impact their available resources and performance in Premier League too. Mostly the effect should be negative, not positive.

Arsenal will be affected by Europa League if they want to win it. However, Manchester City will have same problem in Champions League and I am sure, Manchester City have more willingness to win Champions League than Arsenal's willingness to win Europa League.

I think that Arsenal will feel happy if they only win Premier League but fail in Europa League. In contrast, Manchester City will only feel happy if they can win Champions League in this season.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 11, 2022, 02:29:30 PM
It was quite an exciting match. 6 yellow cards throughout the match (3 for Real Madrid and 3 for Cadiz) are proof that the game is going on with high tension, even both teams didn't hesitate to commit fouls to stop their opponent's movement.
Bookmarkers do like the match as it helps them to get money from gamblers. In addition, total yellow cards are helpful for bookmakers because 6 yellow cards are uncommon and I believe bookmakers would have won against gamblers too.

Quote
Without Benzema Real Madrid can still get the win but these 2 goals were not scored by Real Madrid's front-line players, so it can be assumed that Real Madrid is still dependent on Benzema.
They have good young players like Vinicius or Rodrygo but they are not a striker like Benzema. They can grow and develop their skills to become strikers but it is not what they can play well in this season. Benzema is still very important with Real Madrid and they will have to hope that he won't get any injury by the World Cup.

This season will undoubtedly be fun, but hardly in a positive way. The World Cup completely breaks the whole season and I think that after the resumption of the competition we will see a big decline in some clubs - maybe Napoli, maybe Barcelona. As a result, angry fans will argue with each other on the topic "if it were not for the World Cup, then we would definitely win."
It is a strange season and the first in my life. Maybe there were some seasons with strange schedule around World War I and World War II but I did not search details about that. I remembered there were breaks between some World Cups around World Wars and also their hosting times were different than usual too.

Failed clubs will try to use ifs to make their failures are less serious and reduce their responsibility and weakness which should be reasons for their failures. If it is not this strange World Cup, they will find other different reasons. Referees, VARs, unfair schedule, injuries, weather conditions and more.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 11, 2022, 03:11:55 AM
I doubt most of Real Madrid wins comes out from them dominating the game, at least that might be the case in La Liga
A national league that is long and has more matches than Champions League. In Champions League, when it goes to direct face-to-face rounds, excellent moments can help you win and go next. However in a national league, a team must play very stable and good enough, better than other opponents within a long season in order to have enough more points than competitors to become a winner.

Real Madrid have enough experienced players to play well and flip results after a conceded goal in Champions League but in La Liga, with a weak defense, they will have so many troubles and lose more points during a long season.

Quote
in the champions league, it's completely the opposite, and even their triumph last season was an absolute testimony to that fact, they were actually completely dominated and all they end up getting is one or a couple of chances that they were able to capitalize on by scoring the goals needed to see them through to next stage, and the final against Liverpool was another instance where they were not in control of the game but some how lifted the trophy, if there is any team that actually plays shit all match long and win games in the end, it's definitely Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will meet Liverpool that have problems with defense too. It is their forms and defensive problems before the World Cup and we must wait for their player fitness after the World Cup to have a better overview about strength difference between two teams and can talk more about their chance to win.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 10, 2022, 03:04:49 PM
Lazio's good defensive record of just 8 goals conceded is the opposite of Monza's that have conceded 21 goals, i believe Lazio are going to add more goals to the 21 Monza have conceded. It looks like it will be an easy win for Lazio, Monza are not strong enough to take something from the game.
Lazio now is like Leicester City three seasons ago when they have best performance of these players. Immobile, Anderson, Milimovic Savic have their best times but they are getting older and some players like Immobile will fall into downside of their career soon.

They began this season not too well but gradually they got better results and now they can claim the third position on table.

Quote
Even though Lazio have a great chance of winning the game, i don't think they can be successful chasing Napoli, they are 11 points behind Napoli, the gap is too big and only if things collapse for Napoli can Lazio or any team go above them. The team that looks to be chasing Napoli is defending champions AC Milan, and even they are 8 points behind, it is Napoli's Scudetto title this season.
Chasing Napoli is difficult but they should not think too far like this. First they must win in future matches and wait for results from Napoli. There is no free gift from Napoli and Lazio must work to win, and wait for chance to take it.

Messi is in much better form than last season. And Messi's performance is good in every match.
He gets a better mentality in this season. In the past season, he just joined PSG in very last days before closing of a transfer market and he left Barcelona with big disappointment that all affected his performance. In this season, he did not have similar disappointment in summer preseason training and at beginning of season so he is more ready to play with his best.

Quote
Messi's role behind PSG's good performance in every match despite not scoring goals is undeniable. Messi is now PSG's playmaker. Messi strengthened the bond between PSG's midfield and forwards. And now we see Messi playing both midfielder and forward roles.
He is genius and we already saw it in Barcelona. Messi can play at all positions in an attacking system but in PSG, he has changed and played more regularly as a play maker as well as in midfield because he must has that adaption when he becomes older. He must avoid direct physical competitions with other players to avoid injuries and to prolong his career as longest as possible.

Quote
If Messi can continue this performance, the Argentina team can qualify for the finals in the World Cup. And can win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League as well. However, if Messi is not in form, PSG will not be able to win against Bayern Munich.
The World Cup will be the last tournament for Messi in Arghentina jersey. I think most of football fans will be happy to see Messi lifting the World Cup trophy in Quatar. He deserves to get it but in football, many great players did not achieve trophies they wanted.

Some legendary players even did not win Champions League in their career like Ronaldo Nazario de Lima (Brazil)

I don't think one trading inverse contracts gives them a more likelihood of their position getting liquidated as compared to a position of a linear contract. It has more to do with the rise and fall in the value of the underlying crypto asset, which translates to more or less profits in USD quoted from the base currency.
Yes, I meant it. At least people must choose an asset that can give them a most stable collateral value. Nothing is perfect if they choose one cryptocurrency as a collateral even it is Bitcoin. Even stable coins can lose their values like $UST.

But if I choose between Bitcoin / altcoins and stable coins for my collateral, I will choose a stable coin but that one should be a good one.

Quote
Using people's money as collateral even with stablecoins can still fuck things up if the market goes against the opened positions. Stablecoins do make the positions bulletproof from liquidation. The problem is too much greed by the so-called exchanges.
It is right. Having your position against the market movement, market trend will kill you. Whatever collateral type won't be able to save you if you get such positions.

I implied about the risk of liquidation because of your collateral gets serious loss in its value that will put your position in liquidation risk even it is not too bad.

Yep, Atletico Madrid got a loss again with an unexpected team.
Mallorca is only a small team, but they can defeat Atletico Madrid with 1 goal only. This is simply telling us that Atletico Madrid defenders performed very poorly and their attacking line didn't work properly. Atletico Madrid made 17 shot attempts, it is funny that they can't score a single goal. There is something wrong with Morata and Griezmann, or the problem is with the coach. Honestly, Atletico Madrid doesn't deserve to get a loss in this match.
They had a very bad match that I did not expect it to happen.

Atletico Madrid will get more issues if in the next summer transfer, they lose more important players. At least their position in La Liga is still acceptable but they must keep it up to finish this season at least in top four. A ticket to play in Champions League 2023 - 2024 will help the club receives good income from television rights, ticket selling, jersey selling, etc.

They look to have a problem in the squad. Atletico now is different from Atletico before, Morata looks barren while Griezman can't do anything throughout the game. So, I think Simone must change all schemes from 4-4-2 to another formation to give many ball supplies in front, seems to look difficult because they don't have a player specially playmaker.
Griezman lost best time of his career in Barcelona and we saw so many similar cases: Shevchenko in Chelsea, Kaka in Real Madrid, Torres in Chelsea and more. These players were no longer able to get their best performances back after losing it. It can be because of injuries, unwell fitness or ageing.

I am not doubtful that Griezman is affected more by his age. He is not too old but ageing has its effect, small or big, it always has.

Morata has never been a top striker and he is more favorite with a position in between of a striker and a player maker. He is also bad in coping with pressure on his shoulders. His best performance is when he played in Turin without too much expectation and pressure. He failed in Real Madrid and Chelsea when those clubs put too much pressure on him.
1914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 10, 2022, 02:59:39 AM
I think it's still too early to say that Atalanta, Inter and Roma have lost their chances in the fight for the title this season, no matter what gap they would have had from the leader in the face of Napoli.
It's too early to say this. Because the season is only passing one-third of it and a lot of matches are ahead. Chances for those clubs are small and will become smaller if they continue their unwell and unstable performances. In contrast, it will become bigger if they can improve to be better and more stable in performance and with another important condition: Napoli lose their current steady form.

Quote
Yes, Napoli is impressive this season and the team has scored a very good move, grinding opponents and turning the result in their favor even when the game does not quite add up, and this is what usually distinguishes championship teams from others. On the other hand, let's not forget that something similar happened last season and in the end, Napoli still lost the first place in the standings, and Inter, on the contrary, thanks to its series of victories, was able to soar to the top and claimed the Scudetto until the finish.
Napoli have a very big gap with other clubs and look at it, I am thinking of Bayern Munich domination in Bundesliga in most of seasons. Napoli are not Bayern and they are not familiar with such domination as well as their player resource is thinner than Bayern's player resource. Therefore they must balance between getting maximum points and avoiding, reducing risk of injuries on their players.
1915  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: November 09, 2022, 12:50:56 PM
- More cryptos accepted as payment options. We currently support BTC, ETH, EOS, USDT and USDC. More has been requested - but will it make depositing easier for you? And which cryptos should we add, in your opinion?
Dogecoin should be your first priority because it is used a lot and it is accepted a lot on many casinos. If you add Dogecoin to your casino, it will be helpful for traders and gamblers to move their Dogecoin from exchanges or other casinos to your casino.

Another coin I would suggest is BNB from Binance. They are great but I know many exchanges want to fight with Binance and does not accept BNB or BUSD on their exchanges. I am not sure about your team thinking about BNB and Binance.
1916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 09, 2022, 12:46:26 PM
If Napoli can continue to be consistent until the end of the season then of course there is no doubt that Napoli has become the strongest candidate who has the opportunity to hold the Serie A title this season. even until now Napoli have not lost at all in Serie A.
They did not lose a single match in Serie A and have 8 points more than the next club, AC Milan. Other clubs behind AC Milan don't have stable performance so Napoli can even expand the point differences with those clubs.

Quote
Even Napoli's defeat for the first time in the Champions League does not seem to have much impact on the mentality of the Napoli players.
They don't have to be unbeaten to win Serie A but their return after a first defeat in this season is very strong and impressive. That gives them more strength and belief in themselves to keep up good performance in late months.

Quote
but Udinese's next opponent is also to be reckoned with. Udinese is like a dark horse this season. so I don't want to miss a few more days between Napoli vs Udinese. although I still believe in the superiority of Napoli. but I hope there is a little surprise in the match
Udinese is one of underdogs in this season but maybe at the end they will not finish in top four. There are too many clubs in top 8 of Serie A after the latest match day and Udinese will have to beat so many competitors that look to be stronger than them.

Anyway, this season might be their best one after the retirement of Daniele Di Natale.
1917  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Three Big Lessons from CZ. on: November 09, 2022, 11:35:32 AM
Lesson for project owners from CZ
1. Never use a token you created as collateral
It is similar to collateral for your margin tradings. It should be in stable coins (a strong one that should be old enough. I don't trust new stable coins). If you use Bitcoin especially altcoins as collateral, you will be more easily liquidated.

Quote
2. Don't borrow if you run a crypto business.
You can make loan but it is similar to margin trading. Risk management should be done very well. Obviously the best is avoiding loan and too high leverage for your crypto business.


For stable coin, your business should have fiat currency as collateral, not Bitcoin or altcoins. UST from Terra is a good example for how such non-fiat collateral will cause collapse.

I agree with you and I wish everyone backing Frank Lampard will accept the fact that he is never a good coach.
He is not a good coach now but never is not true. Did people call Claudio Ranieri is not a good coach and in late of his career, he won Premier League with Leicester City in surprise of all ?

Lampard is still a young coach and he has lot of time to learn and improve himself. He might become a good coach in future. Don't say never now.

Quote
Frank Lambard made his first mistake by accepting to manage Chelsea football club which he spent so much money on signing average players that couldn't help the team to get better. Lampard ought to maintain his reputation as a former legend of Chelsea and England as a country by taking managerial jobs with smaller clubs maybe from them England championship or League one where he will gather more coaching experience or work as an assistant coach to his former bosses like Jose, Conte, or Pep
He made that mistake but if people don't have brave to take risk and challenge, do we see big successful surprise like Pep Guardiola or Zinedine Zidane? Lampard accepted challenge and failed with it but it is not too bad for him. Having that lesson is very good for him as without lesson and real experience, it's hard to know what you are bad and what you must improve.

Quote
I believe this will help him to get better rather than taking offers and sending clubs to the early relegation zone. If Everton fails to win their next game from away against Bournemouth, they will be in the relegation zone and Lampard will be sacked then because he can not help the team out.
I hope that Lampard will succeed to stay in Premier League with Everton. It's good for him and for Everton too. I can not believe to see Everton absence in Premier League after many years they are here.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 09, 2022, 11:21:26 AM
Since Karim Benzema's injury, Don Carlo has tried to maximize the potential of other players. So far, it is clear that Rodrygo is one example whose potential is visible. Benzema's absence helped bring out the best qualities from several players such as, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Fede Valverde.
The coach and Real Madrid know that they can not rely on Benzema for too long. He is old already and his career is coming to very last seasons. They can not expect that Benzema will carry their attacking for many seasons ahead. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde are growing very good under management of Carlo Ancelotti.

Quote
As for Madrid's defeat to Rayo in that match, I think defeat is a natural thing that can happen to any strong team. but as you said, El Real need some newcomers to anticipate when the team situation gets injured players, match bans.
Their attacking system is well but their defense system is not. They must enhance their defense from defensive midfielders to defenders and maybe they should have one or two players from January transfer market. If bad defense continues, they will have more troubles in later of seasons when attacking players have more pressure, exhaustion and maybe injuries that all will impact their attacking performance.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 08, 2022, 02:19:06 PM
They currently have the same 13 games. Six points with the remaining games of the season, there will still be plenty of opportunities.
Six points look big but it is small enough during a long season. 25 more matches will be enough for other clubs to catch Napoli.

Quote
The remaining 25 games will still be a World Cup. Napoli and Milan will probably still make a lot of mistakes. It's overconfident to say Napoli will definitely be champions this season. Remember besides that there is still a transfer market. If Milan or any other club has a lot of money I think Serie A will be even more interesting. Until now, they have never lost, they look convincing. Let's see until the end of the season.
At the moment, from the rankings, AC Milan are the most possible competitor with Napoli but it can change if Napololi lose 2 matches. Even Napoli have good form but losing two matches is not impossible. If they lose like that, it will give chances to other clubs under AC Milan to join the Scudetto competition.
