361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread on: January 11, 2024, 09:10:12 PM
Well Ajax didn’t just lose outrightly to a 3rd division team; they were 2 goals down and tried to equalize but only got unlucky in the last minute of play. The defeat from a 3rd division team isn’t new in football; and yes it happens.That doesn’t mean Ajax haven’t improved from the way they started the season. Yes the team is pretty poor no doubt but they’re better compared to how they started the season.

As I said before, it's not unusual. It's just that currently we are talking about Ajax's poor performance in the league and the hope of improving its performance. But the defeat confirmed that Ajax is in very poor form and has no hope of getting to the Champions League next season. People say Twente and Alkmaar will lose to Ajax in the race for the top 4 positions but with this bad result I am sure Ajax will not be able to shift Twente or Alkmaar's position in the League.
Every team having good and bad days with currently in this season we are having in Premier League few top ranks clubs are struggling even they spend huge amounts for the improvement but still nothing positive happening, so Ajax was also in bad shape, and they were struggling with now on recovery which is surely good, and they are back in business without losing too much time because here in Eredivisie we have no competitiveness like Premier League and difference of quality is also wide open which is not allowing many teams to improve their squads for the top quality.
Ajax is one of the best club in UEFA with having good history and performance so they are now back and most chances we will have them at the better spot until end of this season as well even for me, they can go through for the top three.

Few big cricketing nations are on decline which is purely their own mistakes because they completely fail to bring required changes even ICC giving them good funds, but they are having nothing to do with this and too much political influence and other domestic issues are creating problems for them currently we have just 5 to 6 countries which are doing better with all others are on fall which is surely not good deal for this game with still time is available for the changes but if someone care about this all.

In this series, we have really pathetic performance from the Sri Lanka which is almost at the verge of collapse like West Indies even Afghanistan is ready to replace them but still we need improvement and better performance which will create good competition in this game in the future.

Well.. I would agree. Most of the teams that are in decline (such as Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, West Indies and Bangladesh) have cricket boards that are incompetent. The funds that they receive every year from the ICC are not being spent for the growth of cricket in these nations. On the other hand, Afghanistan is doing relatively well, and that is despite the Taliban takeover. Actually the tier-1 full member nations such as Bangladesh should learn something from the Afghanistan cricket board.
No doubt in few things we have to blame these boards but with this all we have no solution for this as well because ICC can't settle things which are creating problems and having missuses of funds as well which is also another problem but due to many factors we are having decline in quality and performance in few countries which is the biggest concern and ICC is also not able to have brought positive changes due to peoples those are involved they also don't care about this all.
But now it's time to bring more countries involved and also having competitions between associate countries which are trying to have improved quality and consistency, hopefully as we will have more countries and better things we will be able to have positive changes in this game.

Easy win for team India despite the initial niggle with Rohit getting run out. Almost all players(batsmen and bowlers) performed well as expected. Afghanistan clearly are missing the services of their star(Rashid Khan).

Hope Afghanistan bounces back in the second T20 setting up an exciting final clash between both teams.
After injuries of Surya Kumar and Hardick Pandya selectors call Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli which is not wise decision because today after watching performance of the youngsters, I have feeling they need to bring them on front instead of calling these two veterans because today we have impressive performance from these all youths and as they perform most chances, we will have no chance for the Afghanistan in next matches as well.

Between these two countries quality difference is clear India clearly leading all three formats and Afghanistan having 10th spot mean things need to be more which is not possible for these Afghanis specially while they are playing in India.

You are right since winning the 2023 world cup Australia team is in great form they are playing well in every match. Especially in the three Test matches against Pakistan, Australia's batsmen have batted exceptionally well. Australia team has won three Test matches due to excellent batting. Australia team will do very well against West Indies because every Australian player bats well. Australia's bowling is excellent so it looks like they will do very well against the West Indies.  Maybe West Indies team can do well in T20 if they play well Westin T20 match we will see competitive match. On the one hand the players of the Australian national team are doing great and on the other hand the Australian women's team is winning with a bang against India.

Australians are true professionals and their cricket board is very supportive of their players. And that is also one of the reasons why Australian players are some of the highest paid cricketers in the world. Indian players on the other hand are swimming in wads of cash, but they focus more on showoff rather than professionalism. And now coming to West Indies, I am not sure whether they can be competitive against the Australians. They performed poorly in the tour match against Cricket Australia XI (which didn't had any player with international experience).
Currently, Australians are doing one of the best things in sports, and they are surely taking good benefit of them as well like cricket at the top and rugby and field hockey are also best and few other sports they are enjoying because they are grooming their youths from early ages and bring best of them at right time which is surely amazing with now it's time for the Indians to learn and bring some better changes even it's not easy and not happening in near future because too many problems and other difficulties which are clearly not allowing them, but now money is also not used wisely which is also creating problems.
West Indies could be going for like we have Pakistan few days back and most chances these two test matches are going to be one-sided affair but good for the home side as thy will be able to have the good number of points for the WTC league table.

I was right and I was wrong and it dont matter because it took till yesterday for the price to get its break out either way.     Its amounted to a blip and BTC already doing better, I would argue we are now more bullish because price was tested to the downside.  
  The details of why we sold off yesterday probably dont matter as much as it was fairly brief and contained, the recovery is impressive so far.   So in conclusion I think we have to remain bullish in the price outcome for Jan now, keep watching but this is a big green tick for future positivity so far in 2024.     Its already hard to hit the bullseye on the monthly bet but also the odds are reguarly quite decent to bet on breakouts, I like the game idea.
We usually fail to predict the market and fail to time the market. Predictions are for short term with so many factors can affect the market includes news, fud, regulations and more. In long term, those factors have less impacts and Bitcoin shows its strength by increasing its adoption, more use cases, more utility, then bigger trading volume, higher marketcap.

Some years from now, we will look back at 2023 and say, oh some years ago, Bitcoin marketcap was less than $1T.

https://companiesmarketcap.com/assets-by-market-cap/

For halving in April, there will some fud to shake out the market but if we can hold our bitcoin, we will be able to enjoy good price growth of Bitcoin. I expect it to be another amazing upward curve.
Here I agreed with your all views about price and bitcoin with most chances now things are under whales control so most of the time they manipulate market for their own currently situation is very interesting with many are waiting for the verdict from SEC about the trading and few are saying whales are playing their games as well which are going to hurt small investors but still hodlers are going to enjoy this all.

I was also expecting some positive activity, but now few things are creating confusion which are surely going to hurt market as well, but we need to be positive with hodlers never have any problem most chances things could be much better in this 2024 for the bitcoin even we will have too many rumors about this all.

Some publications say that Newcastle are interested in Girona coach Michel Sanchez. Newcastle management is considering the option of dismissing Eddie Howe and appointing Sanchez in his place. Michel has been coaching Girona since 2021. Now this team is located on the second line of the Spanish La Liga after Real Madrid. However, there is still no information about the desire of Michel, whether he wants to stay or leave Girona.

I have a feeling that Howe will not start the 2024/25 season as Newcastle manager. There has been a big drop off in their results from last season.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Newcastle owners sack Howe and get somebody else in. They are now a very wealthy club, they will not accept mediocrity.
With current performance of the Newcastle United most chances we will have to change and as media reports are coming Saudi owners are interested to bring José Mourinho in coming season which is interested, but I have feeling Eddie Howe still can turn the tables, but he needs to be fit and inform players situation is not good with too many injuries and other problems are going to end his impressive start into nightmare end.

Sanchez could be also good option, but his availability is also important as he wants to join here or no this will be clear after the end of this season, currently nothing is available about anyone.

Logo ne apna stable coin ko Ethereum,btc aur mukhtakif coins ma convert kia. future walo ne long ko on kia aur en ese time ma exchange ko mauqa mela k ab en ko liquidate karo, ab paisa kamane ka acha waqt aaya ha. Spot trading sab se best ha. agar price dump bei kar jae tho per bei chances hothe ha k opar jae market aur apka coin dobara usi halat par ae. Future ma ek bar liquidate huwe tho per kuch na raha chahe us k bad market kaisa hee acha rahe.

Brother, Bitcoin ETF ki market mein bht sari speculations chal rehi han, lakin 10 January,24 k baad hee billi bag se baher aai gi. Kuch log abi bi yehi kah rehe han k Bitcoin ETF ki approval mazeed postpon ho gi, kuch rejection ki baatein ker rehe han lakin majority ka view yehi ha k next week Spot ETF approve ho jai ga. Insha Allah.

Meri liye yeh samjhna zayadeh zaruri ha k approval ki soorat mein Bitcoin ki price kitni br sakti ha or rejection ki soorat mein kitna drop ho sakti ha. Mera khayal ha k next week Bitcoin ki price ki upside 50K ha or downside 38K. DYOR

The drama about Mbappe is talked about endlessly and it will continue to be news that is quite shocking to the world. The presence of Luis Enrique as coach may be the reason why Mbappe is trying to be retained because the coach likes Mbappe's playing style. But that is not strong enough to break Mbappe's reasons for wanting to leave in the current transfer market.
You're right. Mbappe's drama won't be over as long as he still doesn't move to a new team. I hope Luis Enrique won't be a part of a new drama on Mbappe's transfer issue. Sure, Luis Enrique will try to keep Mbappe because he is the machine goal and main player of PSG. But if Mbappe decides to leave, I really Luis Enrique will give the chance to Mbappe leaving PSG.

Indeed Real Madrid still prioritize for signing Kylian Mbappe or not but they have bad experienced when trying sign him last several season when his contract expiring and one more step closer for reaching agreement deal but Mbbape accept new offer from PSG. I don't think Real Madrid will prioritize with players have make them get disappointed last two season and try to sign him although Madrid attacking line right now more solid.
Real Madrid will always prioritize Mbappe, they know Mbappe is the best player that is suitable with Real Madrid play style. Moreover, Mbappe's contract will expire soon this year, Real Madrid will try all out to sign Mbappe. Real Madrid will sign Mbappe for free when Mbappe's contract is over. This is the biggest chance to get Mbappe from PSG.


Currently, as media reports are coming most chances Mbappé drama is going to end at the end of this season with PSG management is fixing all things, and they will create no problem even he is going to join any other club as free agent he spends here good time with few good wins in French Ligue 1, and now he is looking forward for having better things in his life with other clubs which is good.
In last few years we have only Real Madrid a strong club which was looking for him, but now recent reports are showing Liverpool is also looking for this move, and they will fight as Mohammad Salah is also leaving club at the end of this season things are looking interesting now we have to wait for the end of this season then we will have who is going to have this legendary player into their club.
371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: January 05, 2024, 12:44:27 AM
Maybe the Saudi Pro League currently looks unattractive, but Ronaldo has confidence that this league will definitely be registered in the Champions League at any time. What is certain is that Ronaldo is a professional star player and is committed to what he has received because he has been given facilities and a good salary. very big and Ronaldo returned the favor with a strong performance providing scores in large numbers and if Ronaldo is able to score in large numbers surely Al Nassr as the owner of the club will have an increase in the name of his club and I am sure of Ronaldo's hard work at this time because he is sure that if the league It will soon be listed in the Champions League.
Even though currently Al Nassr as the owner of this star player has not been able to reach first place in the points table, at least they have tried to give their best and for me, even though they will only be runners up, it doesn't matter and that's fine.
In this season, Saudi League enters in new era with their huge investments and things are turning into positive way for them even still long way to go for them to have good mark but their new start and strategy is impressive they have the good number of top quality players those are giving their best and trying to increase level of the performance and quality for this league which is the biggest challenge because conditions are not easy and just money can't bring changes it's also need few other things which make things perfect for all.

Currently, we have four top clubs which are under control of one fund, and they are at the top with too many foreign players, but organizers are claiming more chances and development will he is coming in future because they are having good vision for this in their country hopefully all will be ok, and they will be one of the best in Asian region.

I'm not sure about the goal of this country but they are still interested in hiring more superstar players and even after some teams like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad spent too much money for their players getting not good results in the Saudi League but there is the interested even from these two teams to invest more money.
I think Saudi Arabia is trying to increase the development speed of football in this country and that is why they don't really care even if some transfers like Neymar fail for them.
But so far the best transfer we saw in the SAud iLague was definitely Ronaldo moving to Al Nassr.
I think goals are clear now we have changed in leadership at the top and new generation is trying to open this all and using their money and influence for the development of this country with having too many different things which were never happen here, but now they are bringing with their target is Soccer World Cup which is coming in 2034 and also involved their youths in these activities which were never happen before MBS.
Money is not problem with now they have good influence in sports organizations as well which is helping them for having changes as they wanted, and their best move was of course bringing Cristiano Ronaldo in this league which give them huge success, and now they are trying their best for having their mark into soccer world which is going to be filled soon as they are doing good decisions on right time and using their money for the development of sports into their country.

Afghanistan under 19 team could not give enough runs target. Afghanistan were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets early on and were eventually bowled out for 88 runs. The bowling of India U19 team is really commendable. Naman Tiwari bowled brilliantly taking 4 important wickets with 11 runs in 7 overs. A target of 89 runs was not a good enough target for the ODI format. India U19 chased down a target of 89 runs in just 13 overs to win by a huge margin of 9 wickets. Congratulations to the India U19 team.
India are unbeaten so far in the trination series between Afghanistan U19 South Africa U19 and India U19. India have won all three of the first three matches and with 100% wins in three matches they have earned 6 points and these six points have put them at the number one position in the points table. Afghanistan U19 team has won only one match and their number of points is 2 and they are number two in the table with these two points but South Africa have played two matches so far but they have not seen any win. India will be the first favorite team for this series and from my side I will put Afghanistan ahead as the second favorite team as Afghanistan U19 team is doing quite well now compared to South Africa U19 team.
Indian cricketing future is bright with their system is doing good job and have good structure which is allowing these youngsters to do good from their early days which help them for having better results in this event we have both opposite teams are not good enough to handle this all and losing matches badly today as things were going I was expecting Afghanistan will be not able to score 50 runs but at the end they have done good job and reach at 88 Nazeer Hassan and Sohail Khan Zurmati were the main scorer for them Naman Tiwari were the main destroyer for them in this match in reply India chase this target very easily with the lost of just one wicket and Adarsh Singh hit quick fifty for the winning team.
The cricket future of India, Australia, South Africa is very bright and they are always seen doing very well in the game of cricket. But especially India is far ahead in terms of cricketers both in women and men. ODI, T-20, Test almost all India is seen to be on top. This is possible because the Indian team has very good players and their coach is very competent. Coming to the test match, India lost the first test against South Africa but came to the second test match, India beat South Africa very badly. this is the power of indian cricket team he he
I am not agreed about South Africa because they are currently on decline and I have feeling if they are not going to change their policies then surely they can face consequences as we have in West Indies with their team can go down badly here now time for them to have fair and solid strategy which helps their system for producing quality cricketers and improve their structure but due to political influence and having few other issues surely giving them setbacks.

In last 32 years they completely fail to bring positive improvement and having the worst fall in quality and consistency which is surely never been good if they want to be good then surely they need to work on system and structure which is important for the improvement.

Opener Marakram returned to the dressing room with 106 runs from 103 balls. Mohammad Siraj also took this important wicket. After losing the wicket of Marakram, South Africa also lost the wicket of Rabada. And the South African team managed to collect 169 runs by losing 9 wickets. South Africa managed to take a lead of only 71 runs. They probably will not be able to provide the target of 80 runs. Although the target was 100+, South Africa had a chance to fight and win. Because the pitch is completely bowling-friendly. But I don't see a chance to fight in this match by giving the target so few runs. Although the South African team won the first test match by a big margin, we saw the dominance of the Indian players in the second match.
He batted well considering all other batters were not able to bat today. So Bhumrah today got 6 wickets while Shiraj got the wicket of Markran who was becoming a headache for the Indian captain. A lead of 78 runs can be chased without any issue if Indian batters play well. In the first innings, Rohit batted well but Jaiswal is struggling to stay afoot. Kohli has been consistent but Gill has not been in his form after the dengue he caught while playing in the World Cup. This is an easy game for India to win and level the series.
In the second Test match of India vs South Africa, South Africa batted very badly in the first innings. The South African batsmen were all out for just 55 runs in the first innings. With a lead of 55 runs, the Indian team went into bat and lost wickets and was under some pressure. Rohit Sharma and Gill's responsible batting led the Indian team to some progress. In the second innings South African opener Markram batted brilliantly if any other batsman could have scored good runs with him then South Africa could have given India a big target. India needed just 16 runs to win the second Test.

In the first Test match, we saw some great batting from the South African batsmen. They collected 408 runs in the first innings. India collected 376 runs in their two innings. South Africa dominated and won the first test match. And so in the second match, the fans expected more from the South African batsmen.
Yes , you are right. South African International test cricket team did not play good in 2nd test match. Mohammed Siraj Played very well in 2nd test match and he took 7 wickets in the whole match . He took 6 wickets in first inning by giving 15 runs and he took 1 wicket by giving 31 runs. South African 9 batsmans couldn't enter in double figures in first inning of match. And South African International test cricket team all out by making only 55 runs , that is very performance by South African International test cricket team and no one expect that kind of performance from South Africa against Indian team .
South African are preparing their team with new blood and their mostly batsmen are not as par standard of test which is the toughest format and Indian bowlers Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj done good job in both innings as they take 15 wickets which change match completely and give them huge win as in first Inning Indian were struggling most were feeling things will be worst for them after losing first test, but their bowlers give them impressive support and bowled out South Africa on 55 runs which is terrible for the home team these 98 runs lead bring India in winning position, and they ended their tour on high note with win in whit-ball format and having level in red-ball format good for their youngsters.

We can still have some predictions considering how the general trend of Europa League had been and how the performance of each individual team are in local and international perspective.
Villarreal and Liverpool are surely the favorite ones. It's a rare occasion for Europa cup going anywhere except Premier league or La Liga teams.
But Leverkusen is a rare success this time. Not just due to their success in the group stage but also how they are performing this season in the bundesliga. They are certainly going to be promoted to the UEFA cup this year.
Villareal, this is the first time I hear someone mentioning Villareal as the main favorite next to Liverpool. Really, I appreciate that you have an opinion nobody else has had so far. I don't think Villareal is a favorite, but I would also not describe them as a weak team or an underdog. They are more like average similar to many of the other teams.

Leverkusen has gathered some experience in the last season in the Europa League and I think this time it could really be their turn to go one step further and reach the final hopefully.
Villareal can be an underdog like how they reached UCL semi-final under Unai emery seasons ago. But they have new manager now and are not in a good shape of football. I dont know much about how they play, but the statistics are not in their favor. But, in Europa League history, Spanish clubs tend to do well, because they put always UEL as their priority.

Leverkusen is the real favorite alongside Liverpool due to their performance in their league and group stage. But their priority is also intriguing, because they are fighting for the league title under the pressure of bayern which is not easy to handle both competition in the same manner. Experience can often play a crucial role in a team's performance, and Xabi Alonso is new to this situation where he has to compete with already experienced teams and managers. I would put Roma as the most serious contender because of Mourinho.
I am not agreed about Villarreal is going to be underdog because which team reach into Champions League was completely different current team is having the worst performance in this season, and they are badly down with their decline in quality and having 13th spot into La Liga table even their performance in group stage matches were good but still not enough for having anything special for the title race currently they need to be better in La Liga if they want to stay at better spot until end of this season.
Here we have Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool and few other teams can do much better than Villarreal for the title race which is surely not easy for these teams as well which are currently doing good in all leagues with their superior quality and consistency.

Opening match of the 2023 Asian Cup, Qatar vs Lebanon

Qatar can be favored because they have always won over Lebanon in the last 3 meetings.
This Asian Cup, Qatar is the host.
FIFA rankings, Qatar is #58. Lebanon is #107.

Next, you can choose which strongest team is your favorite to win this tournament.
12th January Friday we will have this first game at Al Bayt Stadium with on papers Qatar is very strong team and clearly looking they will win against Lebanon with good margin because relatively they are not good enough to hold them in this match even, we can expect they will be group leader because other teams are also not good enough with their current performance and quality.

13th January could be more busy day as we will have three action packed matches even mostly are looking one-sided because now, we have good difference of quality between teams which need to be cover, but it's not easy going to take long time.

Pakistan scored 313 all out in the first innings, giving Australia a huge target. Pakistan batsmen Aamer Jamal and Rizwan both played brilliantly, which is why Pakistan team managed to score such a big score today. However, in the second innings, the Australian team came into the field with the aim of meeting the target given by Pakistan and two experienced batsmen at the crease. If the Australian team can perform as well as the first two tests, then they will definitely be able to fulfill the target given by Pakistan and give a huge lead. Australia team has collected 6 runs at the moment but still 307 behind Pakistan, so Australia will have to perform well to win the match against Pakistan.
Paksitani team has done spectacular performance compared to thier previous two matches where they got defeated by Australian team. No doubt just like previous matches thier top order failed to give a decent start to his team despite they give chance to some new guys still they unable to set a stage with a significant partnership where rest of the player will carry on thier momentum later after his dismissal. Anyway paksitan set a decent target and now it's upto bowler if they get some early on quick important wickets then definitely they will get them before the required 300 around target, but the way Paksitani batter done I am sure Australian will create trouble for them too. All my best wishes for paksitan to atleast safe his team from series whitewash
Pakistani fielding is garbage again dropped David Warner in first over of the Aamer Jamal by debutant Saim Ayub look like he wants to give good farewell may be with another hundred or double hundred nothing positive for the Pakistan in fielding even their bowlers are doing good job on this pitch in this match for the positive result but fielders not supporting them.

A slow but steady start by the both Australian openers with the help of Pakistani fielders most chances they will do another whitewash, and we will keep our record for losing matches in Australia because of poor fielding and batting as well.

I dont remotely think Son is gonna get out of european football, a total no chance, he is still a very high level also he is now bieng the number 1 of the team after the departure of Harry Kane so i dont see him going out until at least 35 years, and when he reach that age maybe he wants to return to south korea.
Saudi Arabia clubs are coming for big names. Since the departure of Harry Kane, it's been Son all along, he's been the main player that have received the major accolades in Kane's absence. Son is a vital player for Tottenham Hotspur and a key player under Ange Postecoglou project in the club. We have watch his performance and I would proudly say he's not going anywhere, it doesn't the hugh amount placed on the table for the Korean international, he's very active as a frontline for Spurs and numerous times, he delivered the club and a key player for the future of Spurs.
Son is one of the best Asian product in Premier League with now in this season he is playing as captain which is the biggest honor for him, and he is doing impressive job with Tottenham which is currently in top five, and they can achieve more things in near future with this all most chances he will never leave this league and club after end of this season he would be 32 and his contract is going to end 2026 most chances if he will join this league then 2026 not before this.
Ange Postecoglou doing good work after joining Tottenham as coach and their team having very good start of the season even currently, they are suffering due to some bad performances, but they can fight back, and we will have them at better spot with Son is key for this all, and he is also not player who can leave this all for the money.

I have no doubt that Liverpool are the strongest of the Europa League teams. They have a very strong squad. But my point is whether the Liverpool team is interested in the Europa League title. If they are interested, they will definitely try their best to win the Europa League title. But looking at their Europa League and Premier League performances so far, I think their first priority should be winning the Premier League title. And they are moving towards this goal. We have seen poor performances from Liverpool in several matches in the Europa League group stage. And that's why I think they're not very interested in the Europa League.

They are very much interested in the Europa league trophy the same way they are interested in the Premier League. Although there’s priority to them and their lack of good performance seen in the Europa League in some matches is because of how less important the match was to them and they can still qualify even without winning the match, so I see nothing wrong about that from them. Liverpool is amongst the best teams and the most favourite to win the Europa League title. They might be focused on the premier league title too but they haven’t lost hope or stop chasing after the Europa League title when they know they can play well and succeed in both of the competitions.
Currently, with this performance most chances we will have Liverpool in both leagues at the top with currently after beating Newcastle United they are having top slot and things are looking positive for them in remaining of this season even Manchester City is also at his best, but we will have close call between these two teams for the title race here we have already Liverpool at the hot favorite list with few more contenders join them in recent weeks as they dropped from Champions League but still Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool both are strong candidates for the title and from these both Liverpool is having much better chance as they are team to watch and beat with their two loses were not due to poor performance these happen due to having reserve players into team for experience and practice.

Unfortunately, human trafficking is a widespread problem that exists all over the world. These traffickers prey on vulnerable people who are desperate for income and a better life, often promising them jobs or opportunities in other countries. Once they are trapped, they are subjected to various forms of exploitation such as forced labour, sexual exploitation or organ trafficking. Sometimes the headlines on news channels are who are actually involved in human trafficking? I have seen in the news media of the Asian continent that person who grew up under the umbrella of big political leaders are involved in these activities, but still many human trafficking organizations are out of reach.
No doubt we have too many rules and tough things but still every year we have millions of peoples involved in this all with recently we have too many lives also loses in these things but still nothing positive is happened and as mentioned It's not alone in Europe we have too many countries and regions which are involved with many highly reputable peoples are also part of this all and helping criminal gangs and organizations which are doing this all for the huge profit.
In last few years I also met few peoples those were going through with the help of few organizations as they were looking for the better life and have no enough opportunities into their countries so they go through and lost heir money with beloved relatives but nothing happen, and now they are working to stop this all which is looking difficult because everyone want to have better life with high dreams.
