Barcelona have been struggling with injury issues throughout the season. The likes of Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and Jules Kounde missed key games in the Champions League group stages, for example, which ended up in Barça being relegated to the Europa League.

Even now, Ousmane Dembele has be picked up a muscle injury and will miss nearly a month worth’s of football, while Sergio Busquets is also ruled out due to injury.

The next few weeks present Barcelona with the toughest set of fixtures for the season, including a two-legged tie against Manchester United in the Europa League knockout stage.

This is unfortunate news for the Barcelona team, who have a big fixture this week. This should give Manchester United a better chance of winning the first leg, as well as another advantage if most of Barcelona's key players do not return in time for the second leg. It is now up to Ten Hag to manage the game effectively in order for them to win this week. If the game formation strategy is poor, I believe Manchester United will lose the game because Barcelona must have a backup plan in place by now.

It's always bad for the fans if not all of the best players are healthy and can play. But to me this looks as if it is quite even between the two teams now. Dembele is a significant loss to Barcelona has he has shown some great games thus far this season.

I am sure we can still be looking forward to a nice clash between the two teams. Still enough strong players available to make the games worthwhile watching. While it is highly unlikely that Barcelona could miss the direct qualification for the Champions League, the situation for Manchester is a bit different. They will have to fight in the Premier League until the very last day I think. Winning the Europa League could also be a backdoor ticket into the Champions League.

Farmers who have chickens for eggs especially on a large scale, easily get tired of eating the eggs from their chickens or even eggs in general. Caterers get tired of eating their own pastries, just as people who are exposed to certain produce get tired of them due to over exposure. Do you think this experience is the same for casino owners and owners of sports betting platforms?

Do you think that the owners of casinos and sports betting platform, gamble as much as other people do? If they gamble, do you think they gamble on their platform?



The question would be more interesting if you take into consideration some relative numbers as well. What does as mucheven mean here? Do you mean in terms of time or in terms of spending on gambling relative to income?

Take a casino owner who makes 100k per month and he spends 1% of that on gambling but only plays once a week. The guy is still fine if he sets this limit for himself and that's it. If someone is an excessive gambler, I don't know whether it is likely that that person runs successful casinos and has always been an excessive player. It could be the case, but I would imagine that people running successful businesses do have some self-control that might be stronger relative to another average person. There is also the difference that a casino owner's motivation for gambling might be different from that of an ordinary player. The intent might rather be to represent a casino on certain occasions or use one's own reputation (if there is any) to attract new players etc.

Real Madrid want to rely on Benzema for each matches but Benzema was often to get injured and this makes Real Madrid cannot played him even during this season Benzema only can played him 12 times and Ancelotti was attempts to experiment with played other player such as Rodrygo as the replacement of Benzema but his performance doesn't really good and this is the risk when some of particular clubs always be rely on one player because if those players got injured the performance of those clubs will automatically decline

I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem
At this time of Benzema's career it will be difficult to completely rely on him to carry the team because he is aged and obviously becoming prone to injuries, the best move for Ancelloti now is to find a suitable replacement for Benzema in the summer since the transfer window is already closed. There are still so many options in the market in that position, Real Madrid could try making a deal for Victor Osimhen in the summer.

I don't think the age of Benzema has something to do with his recent injury crises since this season, Benzema is just 35 years old and his performance on the pitch is very good just that he needs some time to really get better because the Real Madrid team is already built on his shoulder as his absence in the team has affected the performance of the team and they are beginning to drop unnecessary points Considering the condition of Benzema now, getting a replacement for him is not a bad idea and getting a player like Victor Osimhen of Napoli whom you suggested is good because currently he is highest the highest goal scorer in SerieA right now is amazing and I hope they make the deal as fast as possible.

I think Benzema had his peak and now the time is a bit over. He won't perform again as good as he did when he became the world's best football player. That's a thing of the past I think.

He is still good enough to fill the gap for a central striker, but he is also more prone to injuries with every year passing by. That is why they urgently need a central striker as soon as possible. But Real Madrid wouldn't be Real Madrid if they didn't know that. They are working on something big behind the scenes I am very sure about that.

Leao is still cheap but the problem is there are rumors that are being said that if chelsea is willing to buy osimhen at any price. That means chelsea is ready to spend hundreds of millions pounds again for osimhen from napoli which is very crazy if such a thing will be real. Chelsea has signed nkuku from leipzig and so what's a point of buying another striker again? So many playerd didn't even get regular time to play. How can chelsea be thinking adding more players are the best choice to bounce the performance from the club?
I think that todd must be using his sense. He is thinking like playing the football manager game where he can buy any players like that.

There are some things that makes me feel doubt

1. Chelsea has been linked with luis enrique as a potential replacement for potter
2. Chelsea has been recruiting rugby's coach and what is this for? I guess todd was thinking bringing rugby's coach to boost the mentality of the players is the best choice. *LMAO


Chelsea are going crazy with these transfer dealings. It is good to see club owners investing in their teams but this is beyond what I regard as fair spending. This kind of spending causes inflation in the transfer market as every other club will want to hype up the value of their players too. Imagine Chelsea wanting to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli with Napoli aware they signed Enzo Fernandez for a whopping 100m plus, the price of Osimhen will be above 150 million then.
The problem is chelsea owner didn't even spend his money wisely. I meant look at the result from the previous signing. The club has not yet made a signing to fix the main problem in chelsea which is in the striker. Datro fofana was already bought by chelsea at cheap price but he was not performing so well in his debut. The bubble in the player's price already started by PSG. This time it seems any club wanna sell their players with 100m as the price to buy the release clause. Napoli has not yet given the price tag to osimhen but some clubs like chelsea and MU have been declaring prepared so much money for him. Will another transfer record gonna happen with osimhen next season? Let's see

Also the players will now become more and more expensive for Chelsea because right now, why would someone want to go to Chelsea and leave another great club for them? The only reason is money. Chelsea isn't playing for the title and Chelsea right now is also not one of the best four clubs in the Premier League. The best argument that Chelsea has now going for them is the money and everyone knows it. I think that will give quite some acceleration to the cost spiral that they are into at the moment. It will be even worse when they can't qualify for the big tournaments for next season. All the good players will evaluate their options and most of them want to play in the big competitions.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: THE BULL RIDE OF 2021 on: July 25, 2021, 02:38:26 AM
With the current epidemic situation, many people are looking for ways to earn extra income without having to leave the house, can see that playing games and bringing in huge profits gradually becomes a fever small in the digital currency community. It would not be too surprising if this trend brings new strength and attracts many people back to the market.
Yes, this is one of the many reasons why NFT games now are bullish, it started with Axie Infinity which is an NFT game.
I am also afraid for people who are entering this new trend without the knowledge or knowing the risk, they should be aware of the risk too so in the future, they will not blame other people if something will go wrong.

But aren't the rewards gradually shrinking with the number of people flowing into this market segment? When I read about these huge APRs, I always think that it must go down. There are projects offering thousands of % APR, but it can't work out for everyone if the number of people constantly grows in those pools. Did anyone profit from these huge APRs?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How about the future of the market? on: July 25, 2021, 02:36:37 AM
no one can predict the future of the crypto market, it may rise again or it may continue to fall, but I believe crypto is the future, as well as NFT, I really hope the market will be bullish again soon
If no one can predict the future of the crypto market, why do you say that NFT is the future? is it because you always have the latest information about NFT out there that at this point you say so.

That's two different things you are bringing up here. The one is talking about price, and the other one is talking about asset categories that may most likely have a future for a certain reason. It is like saying "when you can't predict the price of Bitcoin, why are you saying that Bitcoin has a future?". Predicting prices is crap, but extrapolating certain trends in the wants and needs of people, or problems that could be solved with NFTs, that does indeed work. Will electric cars have a future? Yes, but what is the stock price of Tesla in 18 months from now? No idea!

People panic for one reason - when they don't know what to do. Imagine you have a disaster plan, will you panic? No.
Only if things don't go according to plan. Most people don't have any plans for crypto at all.
People panic for not knowing what to do because of lack of knowledge. If you're a kind of investor who fill your mind first with knowledge about what you're getting into then it can be prevented. However we are just human who commit mistakes, thus its normal but there's a way to not become someone who often panic if things didnt happen according to planned. It can help if we prepare ourselves for unexpected scenarios plus having plan and strategy, this way we know what to do and panicking wont be the solution.

I would argue that people don't panic because of lack of knowledge, but because of lack of experience. You can know a lot about the market, talk with someone, read a book and so on. But lack of experience punches you in the face when you see huge red candles on the screen thinking your investment is turning into the Titanic. If you then have experience, you will stay calm knowing that this happened before and chances for recovery are great.

Binance is the number one exchange in the world of cryptocurrencies.
For me it is also like for many, besides that it has the best score: https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/
You cannot trust Coinmarketcap and expect everything related to Binance will be updated even if there is something negative because they own the website as they purchased them from the old team for $400 million.

I don't see any exchange outgrow it for a long time, as it is constantly updated to have the best products from a good exchange...
You never know, some of the major traded countries have banned Binance and asked to comply with the regulators but instead of complying they ran away and how long they will be running and Binance exploded into the scene recently and you will see another exploding like that which is willing to comply with the regulators and it is possible that it will surpass Binance as well Wink.

While you are right that their ownership of the website could lead to some skewed statistics, I think they have put a lot of effort into the website to have a decently accurate picture of the current industry. When you check data about Binance I would say it is about right. Do you know someone who is in crypto and doesn't use them? Cheesy Everybody uses Binance.

The weirdest thing about crypto is that it actually works. It does something that hasn't been solved before. Coordinate a financial economy at scale around the whole globe without any actor being able to destroy it.

Oh and of course, the weirdest thing about crypto is that this new currency with potential influence on world economic order was set free by someone we will most likely never get to know. In theory, it could have been an 18 year old kid from its basement with the IQ of Vitalik Buterin.
all of that is very possible. because the crypto market is built on the trust of every crypto user in the market.
of everyone who believes in and trades in the market. it will grow the value of the crypto asset.
actually, this is almost the same as the system in traditional markets. but it's true what you said, that everyone might even be someone we wouldn't expect to be the person behind a crypto asset.
especially now that there are so many meme projects that I'm sure many of these coins don't have real projects to develop.

Yeah, it is algorithmic dispute resolution over who owns what. A register that nobody has to manually check and you can blind trusty that it will always be correct. Where else do we have that? Nowhere, that is the weirdest thing about crypto and it opens so many ways for new ideas and innovation based on algorithms.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Earn BNB by holding a token. on: July 23, 2021, 05:03:56 PM
I've been following a few Telegram conversations recently and I've seen a new project type that involves people hanging on to their tokens or coins and then passively earning BNB or another coin. Of course, this might be a wonderful marketing effort to get people to buy the primary token being promoted...after all, who wouldn't want to have passive income?

But, of course, we are always skeptical...do you believe that a programme like this can truly succeed and last? Or is this just another avalanche of meme token metamorphosis?

Such tactics are being used my many projects in order to gain the attention. When people are given the rewards to hold token, people buy more of those tokens as everyone like free money.
Staking is also another way to accumulate more tokens only by holding them.

It is often used by the teams to make the buyers hold while they themselves sell. I think though that more and more people don't care that much anymore about these holding incentives unless they are really convincing and with convincing I don't mean unrealistic APR of 300% for staking or something like that.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't panic on: July 23, 2021, 05:02:24 PM
They panic because they don't have enough knowledge about crypto so they wouldn't know how to deal with the market and that's actually normal for newbies. To be honest, all of us have committed mistakes in the beginning but it's just how we learn from it that's important. We couldn't be pros in the beginning but we could learn how to handle our emotions as we cope up with the changes in the market.
We should learn first to determine whether these is for short or long term investment. We will only need to panic when we know that the projects have no future at all since some projects are good in the long run while others are just it that moment. It's okay to panic at first, but later on we will know whether how long we can take the risk of investing and will be able to built a plan suit in our capabilities.

Identifying what types of assets we are holding is the best thing to do, you'll be ale set your goals if you know what kind of strategy to use.

Many traders and investors forget about doing their research and while they are into their investment they can't manage if the project dumped down.

It can be avoided if you have the right mindset regarding to your investment, easy to decide if you know whether if it's good for short or good for long.

I fully doubt they are "forgetting" to do their research Wink Conducting research can be cumbersome and I would rather say that many investors and traders don't put enough effort into it before making decisions. What is enough research? That is actually not that easy to tell if you think about it. You can do research forever. I think enough is when you believe you see an edge over the majority of market participants.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How about the future of the market? on: July 23, 2021, 05:00:16 PM
Eventually, it will pump before the end of 2021, then bearish market will surpass the all time high in May. I believe, with cryptocurrency, it has limitless potential. The future is still bright for crypto traders and investors. The fall in the market price is only normal because we know that the world of cryptocurrency we have entered is risky and volatile.

Nothing in the world is limitless, and the potential of cryptocurrency markets is by no means limitless. There is only so much wealth in the world that can be shifted into crypto. More projects doesn't mean more wealth necessarily, it rather means that existing wealth gets spread over a wider range of crypto assets.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't panic on: July 21, 2021, 10:37:40 PM
Why do people lose money in crypto? the number one reason is panic, they tend to be controlled by emotion, for newbies never ever just bought something you really know nothing about, that's one of the rule, research is needed, your money is important so don't waste it with wrong decisions, if you decided to what coin to buy, don't sell with small movement crypto is volatile, make some target for losses and earning.

Bagholding alts in a bear market is a terrible idea.  Better to just park it in btc or back into fiat until the drops stop for a long time.  Especially with alts bag holding in the past has led to coins just disappearing on the charts and leaving you with some useless coins and another wallet to delete.

But you also have to consider taxes. It is possible that you trigger taxation when you switch from an alt coin back to Bitcoin and then back again. It's not a simple decision depending on the circumstances. I think there are a few alt coins that are also safe to hold during a Bitcoin crash, but really not many. ICO tokens and so on almost never recover after a crash.

Maybe this is the effect of the increasingly expensive price of BTC, so people are looking for ways to keep investing, even though the investment does not get the maximum profit, but to just invest and have a profit, people must still do it.

We understand that the right investment involves a process of market analysis and monitoring, meaning that we cannot make any investment in a hurry, but the right choice for now is to think about how the investment should grow and develop for each of us who have the confidence to invest. .

This pattern is what we are doing in order to stay at the point where we need to invest properly and be able to minimize any possible losses.

I am not sure if you are discussing things like liquidity provision in order to earn passive income, but liquidity provision doesn't go without risk either. That is also the problem with staking unless you are absolutely certain that the coin won't dump more than it generates in staking revenue value. I guess not too many would lock their coins for staking for a year or so. Too much can happen in the meantime that destroys your staking rewards. In the end the decision for passive income is also a bet that the underlying at least keeps its value.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Earn BNB by holding a token. on: July 10, 2021, 07:14:39 PM
if you mean the token that is currently booming and moreover there is another pump in the new token I don't think you need to follow it because everyone already knows what the end of this token will be. but if you want to try go ahead Smiley
and I also suggest that if you want to earn passively choose one that is really trustworthy, don't be a fomo and you have to do your own research so you are sure

rug pull is always a possibility, do not think that some project is secure just because there is a hype around it
it is always a good practice to take your profits out, for next investment, and leave something for passive income, as a moon bag, because you never know what will actually play-out with the project
do not take this as advise, and always do your own research before investment

Rug pulls have been around forever in this industry, but it seems as if they become more popular currently again. It might be due to the fact that crypto has more publicity again and more newbies are joining the space. So some scammers try out one scam project and see if it's profitable, and if it is they launch one after another. It's the absolute worst in the space.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: July 10, 2021, 07:13:05 PM
I think if Elon musk drops his own coin it would not do well as we may think it would, why is that, to me Elon musk is double standard, tweet today in favour of something and against it on another tweet, I think investors may look at this before Investing, and obviously I won't get his coin if any comes out on mainstream, read up about Facebook coin and from my research it didn't do exciting things even with the amount of Facebook users, I think Elon musk coin if it comes out would do worse.
Still am only predicting, some alt-coins I didn't take serious did very well early this year, so crypto-currency prediction aren't concrete.

If Elon Musk did that before he shilled Dogecoin, it could have worked wonders. By now I think that people are more or less used to the effects he causes and nobody would really bet a whole fortune on his wild games he is playing.
Anyway, it is probably not going to be a flop if he launches a coin, but maybe not the success either that some people would expect!
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Becareful with Meme Coins on: July 10, 2021, 07:11:24 PM
there are people who keeps on insisting that the chance still there if you place your money in much earlier time, not  knowing that manipulators (pump and dump groups) already have huge bag holds that's awaits to sell out.

Meme coins designed to serve it's purpose if you are a serious trader / investor finding real project that have real case usages is far better than trying to ride with this kind of projects.

Be more practical in choosing where to place your money while you are inside this market.
I believe that if you are interested in a meme coin you are accepting that whatever you invested into will be manipulated like crazy from the start, that's just how the world works and if you do not want to be manipulated by the whales or whatever so that your coin is left alone and doing decent then you wouldn't have invested into memes to begin with, you are fully expecting everything that is bad could happen to your investment the moment you are putting it into memecoin. Why do people do something this silly then?

Well the profits, because if you are lucky you could buy when it is low and then sell when they pump it and get out, if you can do that which requires amazing timing skills then you could make a profit, aside from that everyone else will be losing their money, so you have to really hope that you will do a great job at timing your trades in a meme project.

The very beginning of your post pins reality down in a very precise way. You take part in the gamble and the only thing you need to do is make sure to take profit before liquidity dies out and everyone wants to dump. It sounds sad and doesn't really have a lot to do with cryptocurrency as a whole, but it is what it is.

Moreover, I do not perceive doge as a serious coin and all the hype on it I think is absurd.

If you are tired of manipulations, I have some very smart advice for you, but keep it to yourself because nobody else on this planet has the tiniest clue: there is manipulation 24/7 in any market, in the crypto market as a whole and not only in Dogecoin, but ZzZZzzz. If manipulation makes you tired, I hope you don't have to sleep all day long!
