I admit that Manchester City is still the best club that was difficult to beat in the Premier League last season, it is more appropriate and deserves to be a champion, but at this time of course the competition will remain tight, and both Manchester City and Liverpool seem to have the same quality, but it's true If you say you missed it a little bit for Mancity then you have a chance for Liverpool.
They are too strong and have too good ability to control ball possession that reduces risk from opponents. In my opinion, they have yet reached to the level of Barcelona with Pep Guardiola years ago or maybe they have reached to that level already.

Liverpool is a closest club in Premier League can compare with Manchester City. It is like race between Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga years ago.

Quote
It is said that Mancity is in no doubt in their domestic league, it will still be difficult for Mancity to make it to the final of the champions league, there are always obstacles that occur even though their game of dominance is very strong and their journey always runs aground in the quarter-finals or semifinals of the UCL.
In a new season, Manchester City in theory will become stronger and can destroy Premier League with Haaland. They will have a new striker who can decide matches with so diversity of goal scoring skills.

Even they did not buy Haaland with aim to destroy Premier League, but to win Champions League.

Neymar will definitely work under his new boss, Christophe Galtier because the new manager have already declare interest in the Brazilian bigname. Moreover, Neymar is a top high-profile player which every manager would want to work with him. Hoping to see PSG as a strong team next season, not just in their league but also in the champions league. Christophe Galtier is a good coach, and he would look forward to add some new players in the tewm.
Neymar is one of models for PSG new skirt in a coming season. If PSG did not have plan for Neymar, they would have used another player. It can be a very last season of Neymar in Paris. If he continues to make PSG board of director disappointed, they will consider to let him go.

Neymar is one of best players but he has yet achieved big things. No World Cup, no Ballon d'Or and since his transfer from Barcelona to PSG, what he made is under expectation based on his transfer value and his very high salary.

Indeed, I also expect - sooner or later - bull market return and new ATH too.
However, I prefer to let people decide for themselves what they do with their money. Even more, there are chances that the bottom is not in yet, so maybe he wants to risk waiting (but the risk may be too big!).
Bull market will return but with the financial recession is looming, it will be harder time ahead of us.

Anyway I have belief in Bitcoin and the four year cycle. Even this time, bear market lasts longer than 2 years, it is not the end of Bitcoin and we will see a new all time high above $69 in future. It can be in 2024 or 2028, I don't care. In next 2 to 6 years, I am going to work for Bitcoin.

You are right too that it is likely bottom is not in yet.

Ronaldo age is not a big problem for clubs interested in signing him in this summer's transfer window. The proof of Ronaldo age is not debatable because he can still make a big contribution to the team as last season he was the top scorer in the Manchester United squad. even his arrival can increase the club income from the sales of merchandise and other accessories. Bayern may be the best choice for Ronaldo besides PSG because these two leagues have not been tried by Ronaldo during his career.
Ronaldo is still playing well and his performance is even better than many young players, not only players at his age. However, it is untrue to say ageing is not a big issue for Ronaldo. Now he is able to score less goals than a few seasons ago, you can not order him to score 40 or 50 goals like 5 years ago. In addition, you can not order Ronaldo to contribute a lot for defense at his age.

In fact, at the age of 38, he is still in demand by many clubs. In fact, many big clubs want to bring Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United. It proves that Ronaldo's quality is still maintained even though he is old.
As you said, that Ronaldo is the top goalscorer at Manchester United, it's one of the proofs that he can still compete.
It is because he has very excellent skills to score goals and a lot of goals. It's hard to say no with a player who can score 30 goals in each season. However, any club uses Ronaldo has to know that he has little contribution in key passes, assists as well as lack of defense contribution. They have to require other users to cover that weakness of Ronaldo. It's not easy in modern football when all players have to be responsible for defense.

But even so until now there is still no certainty which team will sign Ronaldo, many teams are being linked with Ronaldo now but it's just a rumour. So yes, Ronaldo does have its own charm but unfortunately, his old age and too high a salary make teams who want to sign him will certainly consider him again. But if these teams really need a player who has a good influence to motivate the team even more so to help him win the Champions League title next season, then Ronaldo is the right player but if they consider for the long term then Ronaldo is not the right choice.
Big clubs have better choices than Ronaldo. It's better if they choose Kane, Son, Salah, Mane, Mbappe, Haaland as they are younger players and can play for them in more seasons. With Ronaldo, they can not have plan that is longer than 2 or 3 seasons. Let's see Ibrahimovic. He played very well 3 and 2 seasons ago but in the past season, almost no contribution for AC Milan. Players at the age of Ronaldo can end their career anytime with serious injury.
2405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 05, 2022, 03:58:01 PM
There is one more player that I think also previously this player was very prioritized to fill the starting line-up, he was Ivan Perisic. Ivan Perisic will play for Tottenham next season, despite his age is not young but his performance is still very good and Tottenham signed Ivan Perisic on a free agent and of course that is an advantage.
Losing Perisic is a considerable loss for Inter Milan. He is very good and energetic player. Perisic is an attacking player but he can contribute a lot for defense if match condition requires him to do so. A very good player for any team. He is not sort of selfish player who just think of himself. With Perisic, he thinks of general performance and result first.

Quote
But Inter also signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Roma and this is also a free agent transfer and in fact, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ivan Perisic are the same age. So if we assume Inter stay on track and don't change the squad much, and therefore Inter next season will still be fine I'm sure.
Mkhitaryan had a very good season with Roma even he was not a first choice of Mourinho when Mr. Special took over the coach position in Roma. Even they did not have too good relation in the past in Manchester United. He was professional and his contribution for Roma is big enough. However, it seems he does not feel good when working with Roma.

In my opinion, Perisic is at a little higher level than Mkhitaryan from their achievements at club and national levels.

from what i read this neymar issue became more controversial because coach Christophe Galtier told Luís Campos that he wants neymar next season so he can implement a system a 3-5-2 tactical system with neymar playing behind of Messi and Kylian Mbappe. I think that with this news then neymar will not leave PSG. I hope this new coach knows what he's doing, because neymar can never play all season without having an injury that prevents him from playing many games, PSG is spending money on him
Neymar is one of best players and in PSG, he is one of best ones too. Any coach will prefer to have Neymar in their team but it is just Neymar has a record transfer and his salary is too high. Therefore people ask for bigger contributions and titles from Neymar. If he does not receive too high salary, pressure on him should be much lower.

Working with a new coach will be challenge for all players in PSG as Galtier is a very disciplined coach just like Morinho. He will punish players who don't obey club rules.

According to L'Equipe, Paris Saint Germain's contract with Neymar was automatically extended on July 1 until 2027, and sources in Neymar's entourage are confident that next season will be one of the best in his career. Well, a rather unexpected turn in this story, because quite recently, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi made unequivocal statements about those who want to stay in the comfort zone leaving the club, which many took as a hint towards Neymar
Neymar made a smart condition in his contract with PSG and honestly, I don't know why PSG was dumb like this. Expanding a contract with players from 30+ years old is risky. Their performance can decrease dramatically afger their 30s and when they lose it, they hardly to get their best back. Neymar as we known is not too professional to maintain his body and fitness. I am very doubtful that he will be able to play well in next 2 or 3 years.

Maybe PSG just wanted to convince Neymar to sign a contract with them and did not think too far. They just hoped to win Champions League with Neymar in one to three seasons.

I also understand on a serious note that theymos is very much unwilling to add anything to this old software of the forum. So, you could suggest it on the new software sub board
The new forum software is mostly done as theymos sneak peeked years ago. There are issues with data transition and testing. We need more testing on a new forum software. Two or three years ago, people got hyped to test it but it was cooled down since bull run 2020.

A current forum software, SMF is old and something that is too hard to integrate in or improve (again as theymos said). In addition, itf we have draft page that is good enough.

If you can not find it in draft page, you can try with third party tool like LoyceV's unedited posts data scrapper.

Ultimately, it is not just about how new the site is, but also about how much faith we have in the company behind it. For example, would anyone leave their personal information with 1xbit and the like? Certainly not . People need to know the site is secure and reputable, and that there is a serious business behind it.
With Roobet, you have both: an old casino, and its good reputation.

You can verify it by search engines or by look at trust feedback, trust, flag and scam accusations. Search engine helps you to verify reputation of Roobet widely, and others will help you to get overview about it on this forum. I believe if anyone does this homework, result should be very positively for Roobet casino.

It is reasonable because Roobet itself is a very good casino, trusted, creative and well customer support.

You can see that on Sportsbet website, they have partnership with big clubs Southhampton, Sao Paolo and third one is Arsenal, but they don't have cool shirts with big Sporstbet logo for Arsenal.
This could change in future but only with top clubs, they previously worked with Flamengo, Watford, Rosario Central, CONIFA and others.
Newest personal partnership deal as ambassador is with Nwankwo Kanu, Nigerian legend and ex Arsenal player.
https://sportsbet.io/about/sportsbet-io-partnerships
If I am not wrong, in past partnerships and shirts for Flamengo, Watford, Sportsbet does not have big logo on it. It is either on shoulder, sleeve or in front at chest area. Logo is at a size that is recognizable enough but not too large.

In some interviews, press conferences, I see Sportsbet.io logo too.

Arsenal is one of biggest clubs in England and if Sportsbet.io can make a deal to deploy their logo on Arsenal skirts, marketing effects will be very massive. It would be bigger than what they got from partnership with Watford.

Bitcoin network is the biggest and safest blockchain network.

It has very high total hashrate. Its network is very decentralized from node distribution, miing farm (hashrate) distribution geographically to coin ownership distribution.

Highest hashrate means safest in term of against replay attacks. With 3 confirmations on Bitcoin network, your transactions are ver safe, irreverisble. After a day it is completely safe.

With networks of alternate cryptocurrencies, your transactions are less safely. Some chains are centralized and can be reverted.

However, Liverpool's success in playing well throughout this season is not only because Salah has played well and was productive. this is a game the team has to play. and all lines have a strong role. Klopp has to make a good combination for Liverpool. and losing Mane would have to make Liverpool's front-line setup updated.
when there is a deified star player in a team, it can be positive or negative for the team's performance. it all depends on how the players influence the team play.
Mane is not happy about it and he shown his feelings many times. Even Salah made more key passes to Mane but it looks like it was too late to improve their relationship and eventually we see Liverpool failed to convince Mane to stay.

He want to move to another club at which he feels he will get better recogition. He chose Bayern but I don't know will he achieve it in Bayern. He might achieve it if Bayern sells Lewandowski and he will become their main striker. Then he will be a core of Bayern attacking system. If Lewandowski does not move, Mane will have to play at either left of right swing and his position will be like in Liverpool. Something is closely to a second most important player after Lewamdowski.
2414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 02, 2022, 02:53:04 AM
Neymar's problems are Neymar's problems. I do not understand the strategy of PSG who want to get rid of him before Messi - in my opinion they have already received all the profits (PR, shirt sales, etc.) from the transfer of Messi and then he will only pull the team to the bottom. If they want to start updating the team, then they definitely shouldn’t start with Neymar.
PSG should give them one more season and these players should stay in Paris one more season. They had one full season to build up their connections and in their second position together, they might play better and can bring PSG to bit titles like Champions League.

I think neither should go. Both Messi and Neymar could provide so much for the team, they are great players and I understand that both could miss out some games and that is a problem for them, they would rather see them play each match. But even like this, they are making as much profit as possible with the jersey sales, and they are great team.

With holding onto Mbappe by paying that much, but then go ahead and get a terrible manager and selling Neymar? That's going to be something terrible for them and their future. It's like getting the prime years of Mbappe and for absolutely nothing, just so he could rot there and not do anything and not win anything other than ligue 1, makes no sense.
Neymar must avoid injury then he can contribute more for PSG. Especially after party time like Christmas and New Year holidays. Avoid injury first, maintain good fitness, avoid overweight after holidays.

Messi will have his last season in current contract with PSG and he will not want to complete it in Paris as a failed transfer. Moreover, PSG has enough resource to win Champions League but they need a more solid performance of players, in important matches, decisive moments and an experienced, winning coach in Champions League.
2415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 02, 2022, 02:45:17 AM
That's why a guy like salah who has become most contributed player and top scorer must not be leaving from the team. Glad to see that a new contract already signed by salah but i just curious how long the duration for the contract will be. Some media were mentioning long term. It can be around a few years or even more.

So far salah has been giving liverpool lots of trophies and that's a worst decision to let him leave from the club. There's no guarantee if liverpool can find another salah again.

Salah also stated that if he will give more trophies to the liverpudlian. The next season will be very competitive for premier league
We said a lot about Salah and the trio but let's see a trio is made up of three players, not only Salah. Salah must to get support from other two players and he has to support them to. Together they made great success for the trio but only them can not bring Liverpool to success. They need support from midfielders, defenders and goalkeeper. Not yet mention about Klopp and different staffs in the club.

Salah is a most recognizable player in Liverpool but he can be their problems too. At least we see how Mane was not happy about that. It can be one of reasons Mane left Liverpool. I  my opinion, I don't think Mane has less contribution for Liverpool than Salah. But I disagree with some on field reactions of Mane against Salah, that is bad and unprofessional.

It will affect old cryptocurrencies mostly because a new generation uses non Proof of Work algorithm. They are keen on smart contract, proof of stake, DAG etc. Those projects will not be affected too much by new regulation on energy consumption and environmental protection.

Some projects will be affected mildly if they are hybrid between Proof of Stake and Proof of Work.

Smart contract and Proof of stake can cause scam issues. Developers can mint new tokens from the air. Regulation can not do anything to prevent it from beginning.

Maybe after they start agreeing (if Barcelona's offer is successful) Will Lewa be willing to take a pay cut too? because for the current season conditions like this are mandatory for Barcelona in order to secure their finances so they don't fall for too long.
It's still two possibilities considering Lewa doesn't want to be at Bayern one of the reasons is asking for an extra salary there and when he wants to be at Barcelona this obviously has to be discussed. Don't let them have a deal but are still hampered in terms of salary.
Schematically I wouldn't really worry too much about him, he's the spearhead up front and Tiki-taka prefers midfield and wingers so he just needs to adapt a little bit up attack.
This is rumor only, we have to wait for final deal and announcememt of the transfer. Lewandowski is not happy in Bayern but will he agree to sign a contract with Barcelona is different. There are more big clubs in Europe can give him a striker position and with better salary than Barcelona.

In other clubs, he won't have to change his playing style and struggle with tiki taka. We know old people, old players are more difficult to adapt to new things, new tactics.

If he agrees with Barcelona, moves there, he will have to face with one of biggest challenge in his career, adapting to a tactic he has never played with, tiki taka.

For Barcelona, it seems another failed transfer from the idea and maybe they will get failed result from their bet.

I was looking at the uncertainty that there is currently about investing or not in NFT projects... what do you think about it?
Investment is a serious activity and must be made after you make due diligent research. Research on NFT technology and on list of NFT projects are considering to pick one of them for your investment.

NFT technology is good but at this moment, people only think of it as a fastest and easiest way to get rich. It is not true. Investment does not mean to get rich quickly. Get rich quickly is for speculation, not investment.

Like you see Facebook (now Meta) invested in Metaverse and have been developing it after a few years. Do they get profit from what they invest in and develop? They have yet gotten profit from it. No get-rich-quick game.

Barcelona are trying to interfere Chelsea's deal to sign Raphinha now. They are rumoured to be ready to offer an amount like 70 million euros to sign him. However I wonder how they will be able to afford Raphinha and Lewandowski both at the same time. Because they will have to pay more than 100 million to sign them both. A team that are having financial issues shouldn't be able to spend this much money. Maybe they are relying on the Frenkie de Jong transfer to Manchester United from which they are likely to get 65 million fee directly.
It looks terrible when they try to make noise. With their finance, they should spend money very carefully and avoid to make expensive transfers as well as too high salary for their players.

Xavi is doing great works but he and Barcelona board members must fully aware that they no longer have good finance. In coming seasons, they will have to save as much outcome as possible and collect as much income as possible from results in La Liga, Champions League, television rights, etc.

Rafinha and Lewandowski are out of hands if Barcelona use that approach. Lewandowski, again we are discussing about him and Barcelona while we know that is not a relevant player for Barcelona.
