I mean the role of Benzema in the French national team, shouldn't he be a good example for the young players there? after what he went through to finally get his first Ballon Dór. In the French national team there are several senior players who don't like him and that also irritates him besides clashing with Deschamps.
He is a very good example for young players because he is so professional, not self-fish and he serves for his team and for general aims. I never know that Benzema caused any internal conflicts because of his benefits and his ego. The drama about Benzema in France is from other people, two star players and their coach, not from Benzema. During World Cup 2022 and so far, Benzema did not say any word about that. He just keep silent and working professionally. The rest will be verified by the truth and time. Even though his role is not optimal due to frequent injuries when international competition has started, he really wanted to join the French national team during the 2022 world cup which was the last world cup for him, but problems always arise and they cannot be avoided. The only title he can present with France is the 2020/2021 UEFA Nations League.
His injury is not too serious and he wanted to play for them but he is professional that ok, if you guys don't need me, I leave immediately, it's not a big problem with Benzema. He loves his national team but he did not get enough chance to contribute for them. His career is already bigger than many key players in France have achieved for their careers. Griezman has yet won any Champions League or Ballon d'Or and the same for Lorris. |

Both Barcelona and Manchester United have strong squads. There are many star players in their squad.
Before World Cup 2022, Barcelona had better foundation than Manchester United even United had some improvement in last several weeks before the tournament. After World Cup 2022, United have more players who have good performance in World Cup 2022 than Barcelona. Will it affect their face to face matches in Europa League? Both teams have made improvements this season , a lot different from the previous season. Barcelona had quite a tough time in the champions leagues and got kicked out in the group stages of the competition while Manchester United are looking to continue their campaign in the Europa league after the break.
The improvements in Barcelona started since the second half of last season and it has been continuing in this season. Xavi already a past second half season and a summer to prepare tactics, trainings for Barcelona. In contrast, Ten Hag only joined United in the summer and before World Cup 2022, he still tried to do trials and found best formations for United. With good results before World Cup, we can consider that Ten Hag already found a winning formula for United. Their meeting in the playoffs will show how well both teams have improved and are ready to compete in European top competitions this season. Both have good squads and capabilities to win, I believe the game can go either way.
Their meeting in a play-off knock-out matches in Europa League is a big clash that reminds their fans about their not too far past when two clubs are big names in Champions League. |

Bitmex used to be one of the top derivatives exchange (even above binance) until the CEO (Arthur hayes) started having some legal issues.
Arthur Hayes was free from jail recently. However, it has got one advantage that the derivates maker fee is -0.01% which means you earn to open a limit trade (which most of the exchanges dont offer).
Could you explain it more please. Their funding rates change each 8 hours, sometimes rates are positive and sometimes rates are negative. Other than this, there's no incentive to use bitmex. I'd say go with bybit or binance since they are popular and more trusted (atleast for now). BTCs price is mostly driven by binance while others follow.
If I choose from Bybyt and Binance, I would choose Binance, not Bybyt. Bybyt has some bonus programs for their users but the exchange is new and smaller than Binance. More risk to use Bybyt than Binance. And you're right, alts shouldnt be traded in derviates mode since they are more uncertain than BTC and ETH. Imo, you just have to trade the king (BTC) and you can earn enough for your living with right entry and leverage.
Altcoins are less certain than Bitcoin and biggest altcoin Ethereum. They have lower trading volume so they are more easily manipulated by whales and market markers. When manipulations on low trading-volumed altcoins occur, liquidations will find derivative traders. |

Agree, he must focus on only Real Madrid now, Benzema must have left all drama and opera on the National team. If he still looks and thinks to play again on the national team, I believe that will decrease his performance club which divided his mind. In fact, he is the best player in 2022, He got Ballon D'or, which means he's no ordinary player like others
At old age like Benzema, it is wiser to retire from international tasks to focus on club tasks only. Paul Scholes, Zizou and some players did the same. It will hep them to have a longer career with less stressful tasks from national teams and tournaments. Benzema after all bad experience and memory with France including a latest drama from World Cup 2022, he does not have any reason to continue with France. I agree with his decision and very sympathetic with him. He can give us more opportunities to enjoy his football that is enough. If France and French team-mates don't need him, why should he sacrifice his health and career to join? |

I disagree. Celebrities from other industries have to depend on their teams too to a large extent. If anyone from the their team does something wrong, the celebrity will end up getting screwed just like sports athletes.
I only partially agree with you. In team sports like football, chance to handle mistakes and get success at the end is almost impossible, very slim. Mistakes in football are like death penalties if they appear at last minutes, injured times and even if they occur not too late, they can be game-changing mistakes. Mentality of players can be changed from positive to negative, negative to positive by a single mistake. With other areas, there are more times and more chances to fix mistakes but can reach eventual success. I won't say it is easy to handle mistakes and achieve success after all but there are chances. |

Of course, PSG will take advantage of the condition of the Bayern Munich team who lost an important player, but considering that the matches will only start in February, Mane can be expected to recover. I don't think Bayern Munich will worry too much about the Champions League, but they seem to be more worried about the Bundesliga coming back soon. Mane's injury is certainly a loss for Bayern Munich because Mane is a very important player after Lewandowski move to Barcelona.
They can not expect too much from Mane because before his injury, he did not play well for Bayern. So it is unrealistic to expect better performance from Mane after a long injury. Of course we can not under estimate Mane as he is still a big name and a good attacking player with so many seasons appeared in Champions League with Liverpool. The first leg will be played in Paris in mid-February. I think there is plenty of time to do something if Bayern Munich is really worried about the quality of their team without Manuel Neuer and Mane, it means they have to find replacements in the next transfer window.
That match is important for PSG but in past seasons, they got some big wins in Paris in first legs. Later in second legs, they lost all big advantages and were knocked out by some clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona. In the latest season, they lost against Real Madrid too. Bayern Munich faced dilemma with two main player are injured, Manuel Neuer have confirmed absent with Bayern Munich until end season after his leg injuring, but for Sadio Mane not official confirm yet how long he need time for recovering, will ability for Bayern Munich against PSG in Champion League or not.
I think PSG have advantage if Bayern Munich missing thier main player actually with Neuer, but have rumor with Croatia goal keeper Dominik Livakovic will replace position by Neuer if reach agreement deal for transfer.
With two injuries of Neuer, Mane and some players had a bad World Cup 2022 with Germany. Bayern will not be actually ready when Champions League returns. Unlucky, their opponent will be PSG that are not easy to beat. Especially PSG will have Neymar, Mbappe, Messi returned to their club after great personal performances in World Cup 2022. |

Never used Kucoin for trading derivatives. Are you sure it's not the normal trading fee for closing the position?
Why is Kucoin not good for derivative tradings? Could you share more details, please. How about BitMEX exchange for derivatives tradings in your opinion, could you share? I am familiar with BitMEX that is good in my opinion for derivative tradings but they don't have many pairs for derivatives. However in fact we don't need hundred of derivative trading pairs. Too many pairs only cause us more easily to lose money. I usually trade with Bitcoin and Ethereum. |

Fiat money is the biggest scam of all. Think about it  Fiat money is a biggest scam. Altcoins are second biggest scam type. Stable coins are third biggest scam. I put altcoins at a second place because we can not calculate how much capital was lost in altcoins. Stable coins are altcoins but they are special altcoins and it is easier to estimate how much people lost in stable coins. |

 Image Source: Google The World Cup is over, and in about 1 month we'll see more matches in Europe's top leagues, one of which is the Bundesliga. Based on the picture above, we can see that currently the Bundesliga table is led by Bayern Munich with 34 points, followed by SC Freiburg with 30 points, and then in third place we also have RB Leipzig with 28 points at their disposal at the moment. It's a strange season when Dortmund can not stand in top three of Bundesliga. Many seasons, they are a strongest competitor against Bayern in Germany. Leipzig and Freiburg are making surprise in Bundesliga but Dortmund still have time to climb up on the table and claim the second position again. The runner up position is a favorite one for Dortmund in Bundesliga. How do you think the Bundesliga will go in the next half of the season? Will the dominance of Bayern Munich continue? or will RB Leipzig or SC Freiburg be able to seize dominance this season? Give me your feedback.
Bayern will continue to dominate Bundesliga in this season. Leipzig and Freiburg can create some challenge to Bayern but they will not be able to beat Bayern at the end. Bayern is the hosts, so they are more favorites to win, even though Neuer is injured and can't play, Bayern still has Ulreich who is quite good as a goalkeeper, and Bayern's defense will not falter.
I agree, the absence of Neuer won't cause big problem for Bayern. It does not reduce their strength too much. Ulreich is a good goalkeeper and Bayern strength is concentrated in their midfield and attacking. |

Unfair? I don't think so. They just have big expectations from him since he is a legendary player who is capable of achieving great things just like Ronaldo, Beckham, Pele, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Zidane etc.
These popular celebrities are used to dealing with this sort of pressure on a regular basis.
Unfair definitely. Because a super star players are different from celebrities in movie industry, music industry and the likes. All need team working to get success but with football, a need for team working is bigger. Messi can score 3 goals in a match but if their defense is weak or if Otamendi makes more mistakes that cause more penalty, how Argentina can win it. Messi is a biggest star player in Argentina squad but he can not bring them to World Cup championship if other players can not fulfill their tasks. Messi 'walk's a lot on field and it needs to be supported by other players like Julian Alvarez, De Paul, McAllister. This trophy is for all Argentinian players even Messi is their brightest star. Like Lewandowski, he is one of best strikers in last 10 years but he can not do much for Poland in big tournaments when he was hindered by many opponent players around. |

It is interesting how history keeps repeating itself, when Messi was at is peak and he was considered to be the best player around the world he had to deal with the fact that if he was not at the top of his game, it was almost impossible for his national team to win against the other great teams.
It's totally unfair for Messi when people complained about his contribution for Argentina, requested him to win World Cup for Argentina. He contributed a lot for Argentina but people did not recognize it and put unnecessary big pressure on him. After Messi won Copa America with Argentina, pressure on him was still very big. Now, all pressure on Messi from Argentina disappeared and people should enjoy every match of Messi from now. He might retire anytime he want but his football deserves to be fairly enjoyed and recognized. People should not attack Messi now and when he announces his retirement, they come back to request him to continue playing. And now Mbappe went through exactly the same thing, he had to do everything to stage such an impressive comeback, and yet it was not enough, as even if Messi is no longer the best player around the world now he had a better supporting cast, and this allowed him to finally get the win he has been looking for so long.
Mbappe is talented but is lucky too. He has chance to play in France when they have a very golden squad. Since Euro 2016, France have one of best squads in their history and they have a good coach too. Didier Deschamps brought more stability for France than Domenech in the past. He got good respect from players and that is helpful for France in general. |

As far as understand, every time you made a transaction, (sending out), if you are just sending part of the bitcoin holdings, the excess Bitcoin will go to another address created by the wallet.
It is called changed address that you can use it or not use it. It depends on you but by default, wallet will allow you to use change addresses. Change address is for internal movement of your bitcoins in a same wallet from one address of yours to another address of yours. Coin analogy has better explanation for you. Using change address is better than reuse your previous address so wallet softwares choose that option for you by their defaults. |

But for me what Manchester United needs right now are players who are always hungry for goals and have incredible speed. and a very suitable candidate for that is Osimhen who is currently still playing at Napoli (serie A). even a month ago it was widely circulated that Manchester United were indeed eyeing Osimhen to replace the place left by Cristiano Ronaldo. However, it seems that the news has not been updated yet.
Though Osimhen looks a be a good striker and he can play well in Premier League, I don't believe Napoli will let him go in January 2023. United will have to wait till the summer to buy the Nigerian striker. Griezmann's career got better when he performed well in the world cup and succeeded in impressing the Manchester United coach with his performance. But the age of Griezmann, who has entered the age of 31, has to be considered by Manchester United because I see that there are still many young strikers who have the same skills as Griezmann.
It can be because he is more comfortable in France team. Griezman was a very important player for France and he scored five goals in Euro 2016 to bring France to a runner-up position. Remember Mbappe only had a position in France squad since World Cup 2018 in Russia. Didier Deschamps understands what Griezman can do and is able to use the player skills for a team aim. Griezman sacrificed his favorite position to contribute more for a team when they lost Kante and Pogba. Moving to Manchester United and Premier League at his 31 age is not a wise decision. I believe La Liga is best for Griezman to play until his retirement. Or he can join PSG when Messi leaves the club. Griezman can play well at a play maker postion. |

And now the event is over. Despite the controversies with the host country and some equally controversial local regulations for the fans, this World Cup has indeed delivered. It's the sport that made this truly successful.
A big shoutout to Argentina for their precious victory. A big shoutout to Messi and Martinez and to the whole Argentinian team for showing the best that they can. France showed how great they are too. No wonder why the finals had to be decided on penalties. Mbappe can compete a Messi, but Messi is now clearly the GOAT in football.
Argentina had a super successful World Cup. They took the trophy and three personal awards for Best player (Messi), Best Young Player (Enzo) and Best Goalkeeper (Emilliano). They only lost a Golden Boot to Mbappe (France) but it is not big issue with them. Winning the World Cup, taking the trophy to their home are more important for them. It's a first World Cup trophy for Argentina after 36 years since Mexico 1986 with Diego Maradona. This trophy makes Argentina as the only nation that has won 3 World Cups. Above them are Brazil (5 trophies), Germany and Italy (4 trophies). Under them are France, Uruguay (2 trophies), Spain, England (1 trophy). At a press conference after the final match, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni told that he reserves a position for Messi in World Cup 2026. Just wait for Messi decision! |

Of course, Napoli will also receive defeats and draws for the following matches, but I am sure that the bad results that Napoli will get will not continue to happen. Likewise with Inter's good results, at least Inter will not continue to win in all subsequent matches.
Biggest problem with clubs like Napoli is when they lose an excellent form, they usually start a slippery one and fail to reclaim their excellent form. Big and experienced teams often reclaim their excellent forms easily and shortly after losing their winning streak. It helps them to not lose their advantage too quickly and don't give opponents to much big hope. Napoli have not shown many weaknesses this season. They have scored a lot of goals and haven't conceded many. So, my opinion is that they will continue to play well in the second half of the season.
I wish them luck but we can not say they are zero-weakness before the season ending. Lot of things can happen until season ending and the Scudetto competition is still going for all top clubs. If the Juventus scandal is proven then not only Vlahovic will leave Juventus, but I'm sure all Juventus players will leave. In the past, when the Juventus scandal cost Juventus a penalty of being relegated to Serie B and the only players who remained as far as I know were Buffon and Del Piero.
They are players who are very loyal to the team, but in this era I am not sure that any Juventus player will stay if the scandal causes Juventus to receive another relegation penalty.
Worse, nowadays it is harder to find loyal players like Alex Del Piero, Gigi Buffon who shown their love to the club by sacrificing one season in Serie B with them. Nowadays, players are more interested in money, high salary and winning titles. They don't have much loyalty for a club they are playing. If Vlahovic leaves Juventus, it would be a start of a domino effect. Other star players will leave and I am sure many big clubs around Europe welcome those players. |

Croatia led 2-1 at the end of the first half. I all know that the defense is very strong in both teams. And so it will be very difficult for Morocco to score another goal. But the players of both the teams continued their efforts. Both teams are performing very well. So far we have seen only defensive gameplay from the Moroccan team. But today they are not playing defensively. They are counter-attacking a lot. However, the players of Morocco are not able to score because of Croatia's experienced defenders.
Final whistle and final result, Croatia has a second time to end World Cup at a third position, a second time after World Cup 1998. It is big achievement for their country which is small in total area but is big in World Cup history. They are one of few teams can have 1 runner up, 2 third positions in Word Cup. It is more meaningful because the country is very young too. This third position is a good gift and farewell for Luka Modric at his 37 age. He did not say goodbye but we can imagine next four years, he will be 41 years old so World Cup 2022 is his last one. Maybe he can play in Euro 2024 but World Cup 2026 is impossible. |

It is very unfortunate indeed, Barcelona only buys expensive players but when Barcelona releases them or sells them only at a lower price. It's not a problem as a big club to buy expensive and sell cheap but what's really unfortunate is, players who were previously obtained at high prices but in reality these players can't contribute as they should and or a failure.
A case like this is of course an unhealthy investment and certainly destroys the club's own finances, so it is indeed difficult for Barcelona to get new players in the upcoming transfer market.
It is out of normal business and people with well mind would not buy Dembele with very expensive transfer cost over $100M. Barcelona sign Ousmane Dembélé from Borussia Dortmund for initial £97m. He was only a very young player in Dortmund back in 2017 and had only one season for Dortmund with 49 matches and 10 goals for them. Dembele record in 2016 - 2017 seasons for Dortmund. Others failed transfers are Coutinho and Griezman. What a hell as Griezman is playing super good in World Cup 2022? They also let Suarez left almost free to Atletico Madrid and in a next season, the striker helped their opponent to win La Liga. Others failed transfers for defenders and midfielders too. |

This will be a difficult task for Liverpool to try and turn the season around and be title contenders, I'm not saying it is impossible but it wouldn't be an easy task for the team. There is a low possibility of making it happen especially with the level of form Arsenal and Manchester city are on this season. It gives a major doubt that they will be able to make it happen. The only possibility I see is making the top four at the end of the season.
It's mostly impossible for The Kop to win Premier League 2022 - 2023 but it is very possible for them to end it within top four. The title competition if no big changes, will only be between Arsenal and Manchester City. After all, only 4 seats can qualify for the Champions League next season. When Liverpool lose their chance, it's a shame that a club that already has a big name has to give in to a team that is now moving faster. Liverpool's initial steps were less fortunate after signing Nunez, and their progress has been slow. It is true that there is little possibility for Liverpool, who are now outperforming teams such as Arsenal and Manchester City. Plus, if Liverpool don't have additional player options next season, it will make it even more difficult to be at the top of the standings.
Liverpool still have good chance to take a position in top four of Premier League. They had problems with medical care for their players which caused too many injuries in the past two seasons especially in early of this season. They had problems with Nunez adaptation to Liverpool formation and Premier League. That caused problems for them in need of a good replacement for Sadio Mane who moved to Bayern Munich. After all, their injured players are gradually recovered and returning to their training and are ready for matches. Nunez in latest matches before World Cup 2022 shown that he was playing better for Liverpool. All these are good supports for Liverpool performance after World Cup 2022 and it can help them to fight for top four position. |

i can say their odds will be 50:50 to be the winner then. but the situation can change if one team can score an early goal then changes will occur in total on the pitch. for me maybe expecting morocco to win 3rd place in the game later and that is a great honor for them. croatia is a serious challenger they are the runner up of world cup 2018 and they are a team full of experience in every decide match.
It's 50:50 for two teams but advantage is a little bit bigger for Croatia. They have more experience in World Cup than Morocco. Their player quality is better than Morocco too. Generally it is logically if Croatia wins the third-position match in World Cup 2022. For me, Croatia is a clear favorite in this match, their defense is no worse than that of Morocco, but they have a much stronger middle line and I think this can play a decisive role. Well, Croatia's attack is also better, and if it comes to penalties, then Croatia will be stronger there as well. Croatia took second place in 2018, and this speaks of their stable game and discipline, so they probably have more chances to win.
Croatia is better than Morocco in attacking but they had a draw match in World Cup. After all, they also shown that if needed, they can attack well (I mean both Croatia and Morocco). Difference between them is not too big and significant but I support you by choosing Croatia as a winner and they will take a third position in World Cup 2022. Their three midfielders are very good to control ball in order to support their defense and attacking. We talked about Gvardiol but defense of Croatia has very great support from their midfielders too. |
