Arsenal must learn from their experience that three failed to win the EPL title even though they have a good game but sometimes they have difficulty scoring goals. So Rodrygo will be a very wise decision, especially Rodrygo players who have experience and he is able to face a difficult situation when the team needs victory. We can see Rodrygo under Ancelotti several times he managed to save Real Madrid from defeat.
And this will also be better for Rodrygo because it looks like Xabi Alanso is not so suitable for Strtagi that is applied by him at Real Madrid which makes it difficult for Rodrygo to get the main place in Real Madrid so he has a little minute playing. At Arsenal Rodrygo will definitely get a lot of playing time and this is good for Rodrygo's career in the future. I can say Rodrygo does not match Xabi Alanso's philosophy because in some matches Rodrygo always plays from the bench. In my opinion, Rodrygo should stay at Real Madrid, he should be more patient, the league hasn't started yet and it seems to me that the new coach is still experimenting with the squad to have a definitive formation and players who will always be the ones to start the game. He probably still wants to see what the best position is for Rodrygo and Viciniu Jr. because both of them haven't been able to score goals consistently. |

I think they will accept Galatasaray's offer, Osimhen has had a very happy season and is very pleased with the interest shown in him in Türkiye. Also, Galatasaray's squad is very interesting, we expect him to want to play here now.
It doesn't work that way. If the two teams dont come to an agreement at the end of the day Osimhen will be going no where. From my observation, Napoli is not ready to reduce the price for Osimhen, everything all falls down to if Galatasaray will agree to release that amount for the player. If it is by value, I am pretty sure Osimhen worth more than that amount, he is only not playing in the right club and right league. I still dont know why big leagues are not considering him to be the striker they want. If Napoli does not accept this offer, they will run a high risk of not gaining anything from the link they have with Osimhen. It seems to me that Osimhen's contract ends next season and he could become a free agent and that would not be good for Napoli. Also, the fact that Osimhen refuses the Saudi clubs and there are no other big clubs in Europe interested in them could put pressure on Napoli to give in and close a deal with Galatasaray early. Napoli will come out on top with the proposal that Galatasaray is offering, they do not have many choices. If Osimhen stays at Napoli, then Napoli's management would be forced to pay him a high salary even if he is not playing, this is a very bad thing for Napoli's management. |

Fortunately, in my case, it has nothing to do with any of these options. I got into gambling for fun. I already really liked football and we would place bets when they played, but it wasn't something official, I mean, it was done on some website. It was done between friends, so I asked myself: why not do it on official websites?
As I was already on this forum and read people's comments on the threads about European football leagues, it was really fun to read and comment, so I started betting on football matches on sports betting sites, But I always bet for fun, when I'm stressed I don't bet. I have a very clear rule: I don't take my problems to the world of gambling, and it's a big mistake to think that gambling will improve the mood of someone who is having problems in the real world.

When I read this news I was wondering what Sporting's next season will be like without Gyokeres. It seems to me that this Almeria striker, Luis Suárez, is not at the same level of performance that Gyokeres has had since he arrived at Sporting. It is true that he was the top scorer in La Liga 2, but asking for 25 million euros for him knowing that he is 27 years old is an exaggeration. He is valued at 8 million and the Spanish club wants to ask for 25 million, even knowing that the guy is 27 years old, has played 41 games and scored 27 goals. In my opinion, these numbers are not attractive, because we are talking about the second division and being the top scorer in a league with these data is not motivating. |

I came across news that there’s a senator pushing to ban gambling in our country.
So I’d like to ask fellow gamblers here, do you think this move is justified? Or is it too harsh?
We all know that gambling is addictive by nature. No matter our financial status, anyone can fall into addiction. But is banning it entirely really the only solution?
And what could be the possible consequences if gambling were banned in a country? Can you share some thoughts or examples?
Let’s have an open discussion ...
So your country's government should also ban: - All beer companies, all wine companies, all gin and whiskey companies. Because many people are spending money on alcohol and becoming addicted, alcohol has already destroyed many families. But I have never seen governments ban all alcohol companies - They should also ban cars, because the number of accidents involving high speed and deaths is frightening, and a number that does not stop increasing why do they blame the casinos when they are not to blame for people's decisions? For example, I am not a citizen of your country, but let's suppose I were a citizen of your country, it would not be fair for the government to ban gambling when I gamble and I am not addicted, that would be punishing me and other people who are not addicted and the casinos for the actions of other people who became addicted. It is not fair |

I just found that Olivier Giroud returned to Ligue 1 after signing a 1 year contract with Lille. He was playing in USA, precisely in Los Angeles and apparently he wants to return home once for all. I assume this short contract was done because of his age. Lille will evaluate the player before doing an extension and if he fails, he will try to find a weaker team to end his career with, maybe.
In another news, we might see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returning to Ligue 1 or finding a better contract elsewhere since he seems to end his contract with his Saudi Pro League team. Honestly, Olivier Giroud made a good decision, the American football league is of much lower quality compared to Ligue1, he is 38 years old, in Ligue1 he could still play for 2 seasons and then he could retire in a memorable way.
 https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1942526277644345547Last season Auxerre failed to achieve good results in Ligue 1, but at least they managed to stay in the league. It would have been worse for them if they had been relegated. This season they reached an agreement with Brighton to have Ibrahim Osman on loan, with an option to buy for €16m. Ibrahim Osman is a very young player, he is only 20 years old and plays as a striker. He played 22 games, scored 3 goals and made 3 assists last season. These are not very encouraging numbers. |

Fenerbahçe added Jhon Duran to their squad on a 1-year loan.
The situation that caught my attention is the cost, Fenerbahçe paid the highest amount given to a loaned player, if the news on the internet is true.
I hope Fenerbahçe can get what they paid for.
Beşiktaş is reportedly interested in Orkun Kökçü, Benfica will ask for a good transfer fee for Orkun Kökçü. Honestly, I wonder what it is about Fenerbahce that makes strange signings. In my opinion, Jhon Jader Durán didn't do well at Al Nassr. He played 13 games. I don't know why he only played 13 games and scored 8 goals, but he didn't make any assists. We're talking about the Saudi league, which has many weak teams. The guy should have scored more goals and made more assists. While Fenerbahce's management makes strange deals, Galatasaray's management has done a good job. Take a look at this for example:
Galatasaray have sent initial bid for Victor Osimhen for €50m plus €5m… while Napoli want more.
Osimhen, keen in return to Gala but deal depends on club to club talks.
🇸🇦 Al Hilal remain involved in race with plan to pay €75m clause but no agreement with Victor yet.
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1942236593609203888Galatasaray's management is very visionary, they want to buy Victor Osimhen, while Fenerbahce's management keeps doing nonsense. That's why Fenerbahce won't be able to win the league any time soon, I see Galatasaray winning the league again |

Al Qadsiah wants to sign Mateo Retegui  https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1940821744841117837Mateo Retegui is 26 years old, he plays as a striker and honestly at this age he still has the potential to play for a big team in Europe, I don't know what he will decide, but after the Club World Cup games, it is becoming clear that the Saudi league can be beneficial for players in terms of finance but also in terms of maintaining their skills. I am not seeing any decline in skills in the European players who went to the Saudi league. You know these days not every player fancies a move to Saudi Arabia, it is said that players who move to Saudi pro league only go for the money but most players prefer staying in Europe and making a name for themselves. We are yet to know Mateo’s decision, he is young and so I expect him to want to stay back and play in Europe. Players need to think hard about their careers vs. how they will live after they retire. There are few players nowadays who are lucky enough to play for big teams and have a reputation with a high salary. In the case of Mateo Retegui, he will probably think about whether in the next 3 years he will have any chance of being in a big team in Europe where he will earn more salary and titles. After carefully analyzing this scenario, he can decide. The Saudi league offers a lot of money for at least 2 or 3 years of contract and then European players can return to Europe and play in small leagues and who knows, return to a big league because this Club World Cup is showing that players who leave Europe for the Saudi league do not lose their skills in the Saudi league. |

It is a very complicated case because the person who is accusing has no evidence, he said he was not present when the people died, he also said that there was a video showing people being tortured, but that his phone was confiscated and burned. So without evidence it is very difficult to give credibility to the case.
It is also very strange that no one filmed when there was a cockfight, that way at least it could be said that the people were at the cockfight organized by Atong Ang, I saw this news on Portuguese channels, and according to the sources I saw, they said that this case happened in 2021 - 2022 and that 15 police officers were arrested.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting? definitely Slots, I didn't need to do any research to have this opinion. Slots games are available every day at any time, while sports betting has a specific calendar and people rarely bet every day, because they don't like and don't know all the leagues in the world. So in most cases people tend to bet on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. There are people who only bet on fights and basketball and these are sports that also have a specific calendar. |

I'm just asking this question as I look back years ago when I was in the height of my gambling addiction. So perhaps I might also ask the community about it and see how it goes if we are the same or maybe those who might fall into addiction might have experience it already.
"What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward? "
As for me, when I have one of those days that I have a big loss, it's more on a mental trauma to me. I can't function as normal, I went into depression mode, can't get out of my bed and go to work and will just call my boss that I'm sick. And this might take to 3 days or even a whole week. And of course, the physical effect as well, I can't eat and so I lose a lot of weight. You have a serious problem, you probably have a gambling problem, you have to stop playing forever, because when you play you are not having fun, on the contrary, when you play you have negative feelings and it is negatively affecting your life. Your job should be a priority, you cannot harm yourself at work because of gambling. This is very serious, try to stop playing for a while, if you can't stop playing, then you are addicted to gambling. How about you guys? Did you experience this when you gamble a lot? I have had many losses and none of them made me sad or negatively affected my life. |

My advice would be for people to only play what they like and not think about making a profit. If they like casino games, such as slots, then they should focus on playing these games, but always be aware that they are playing just for fun and not with the intention of making a profit. Because
if a person likes casino games but wants to make a profit, they know it will be difficult because they will have to depend on luck, whereas in sports betting and poker games they would have to depend on skill and decide to play poker or sports betting, they may be disappointed, they may have difficulties and they will lose money.

It is very safe at this point to say PSG is now a top contender at every level, I think it is very rare and unusual to have a team win a bigger team with lesser players in the team of which PSG just did, I mean with 9 men, that was not just brilliant, but an extraordinary epic victory.
Yes, you are right, PSG is now not just a "top club from the farmer league", but PSG is a top club in Europe with its achievements in the 2024/2025 season which are so incredible. The next step must be much more difficult because it has to face Real Madrid, not only about Real Madrid, but also Mbappe, as a former PSG player who is in the world spotlight. But here, Real Madrid must be more and more careful PSG is now on another condition, they are full power and winning spirit. PSG is currently better than Real Madrid on paper, but the game on the 9th of this month will show us how much Real Madrid has improved with the new coach, because if they make the same mistake they made in the last minutes of the game against Dortmund, then Real Madrid could come away with a very humiliating defeat. I hope that the Real Madrid coach strengthens the defense, because PSG is currently the strongest team in Europe and even in that league on paper PSG is the strongest in my opinion. |

 UEFA strikes again. They're now urging Chelsea to raise at very least 60m in order to be able register their new signings. If Chelsea unable to do that, they will not able to register their new signings. I don't think such amounts is huge for Chelsea considering selling medueke to Arsenal already helped them a lot in fulfiling UEFA's requirements. In addition the money raised from CWC won't be counted. It has to come from player sales. Not a hard task for blues, but hope they can fix it asap. They have about 15 players or more to be sold. It seems raise 60m like a peanuts for them. In recent years, Chelsea has signed many players and has made exaggeratedly long-term contracts, I don't know what they intend to do with this, but there are cases of their players who are not leaving the club, for example the case of Joăo Felix, he has a contract with Chelsea until 2031.  https://www.transfermarkt.us/joao-felix/profil/spieler/462250They are also not able to sell Joăo Felix, who has already been loaned by many clubs. UEFA is probably right in the case of Chelsea. I wonder how much money these Chelsea owners have to keep signing so many players for very high prices and with contracts for many years, and then not use them and sell them for very low prices. |

I don't know if it's good or bad news for Botafogo fans  https://dailysports.net/news/carlo-ancelottis-son-davide-set-for-his-first-head-coaching-job/Ancelotte's son, who has worked with his father for many years, will be the new coach of Botafogo. His name is Davide Ancelotti. He is 35 years old and has 13 years of experience as an assistant coach. I think he has the qualifications to be the coach of Botafogo. He is in a very delicate situation at Botafogo. I say this because currently, although Botafogo is not far behind the top teams in terms of points, they are in 8th place in the table. This is not good, especially because they are the current league champions. He will have to prove his worth, and the only way to do this will be to put Botafogo at the top of the table. |

Well, if the tokens rising was not because of a new listing, then I am really wondering what is the catalyst or reason why the we saw the surge or rise in the value of the token, is there something that some persons out there know about the token that we ourselves here don't know? We really need to dig and find out what moved the token price up because I believe it can't be because of speculation alone. looking at the chart  It seems to me that it is rising thanks to the rise in the price of bitcoin, as this token is not owned by FreeBitco, it is only being used in FreeBitco, so people are less afraid to buy because they have understood that even if FreeBitco disappeared, this token would not die. also combined with the fact that the price of bitcoin is rising a lot, the price of this token has also risen. of course there may also be factors such as pump and dump coming from the owners of FreeBitco, I am not trying to accuse the owners of FreeBitco. I am just commenting on the various possibilities. |

 Okay, 5 players (Rasford, Antony, Garnacho, Sancho and Malacia) of Manchester United asked to leave. This is such a good news for MU because they don't need to put more effort in order to sell them. However, this news is so late. This should happen like two years ago in order to minimize their financial lose. They have to accept the financial lose from selling them all, then focus on how to rebuild the club back from the scratch. How come Manchester United doesn't need to make an effort to sell them? I think you shouldn't blame Manchester United for why they haven't sold Sancho, Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell because other clubs need to show interest that they want to sign those players before Manchester United can be able to sell them, and if Manchester United looks for the clubs that will buy those players, Manchester United will surely sell them below what they should have sold them for because it will be too obvious that Manchester United is desperate to sell those players, and other clubs will not bid good money to sign those players. The point is that Manchester United needs to sell them. I think the situation has escalated to a level where the club should no longer be making things more difficult. When the club sets high prices, it does not lower them so that players can be sold with a certain urgency, so the club does not want the players to be sold. So if the players are not sold, the club will come out with much more losses because it would be paying them wages without them playing. For example, let's say Manchester United wants 40 million for Rasford, but other clubs want him for 20 million. The Manchester United board does not accept it. But they forget that Rasford is not performing well, and if he stays at Manchester United, the club will continue to pay his wages until 2028. And to make matters worse, if Rasford does not play, then his price will be much lower. So it's worth selling it now for a low price |

Some parents don't know what it takes to be parents
Same goes with some posters in this topic, who have never raised a child, and their experience is sitting with a baby for 30min when parents are not around. Somd posters dont understand that not always what a child see, it becomes something that he wants to try. Just try to look how a child will behave when he is in new place or dont understand what is going on around him. A child does not rush to ask questions, try activities others do around him. A child usually stand and watch, and maybe, later he would ask a question what was that what he saw recently. And not every child is persistive in asking next or more questions, when he gets an answer. true, but children from first world countries, especially children from the US, children of rich people, have access to devices that access the internet very early, although third world children also have it, the difference is that first world children when they are 14 to 16 years old can access their parents' accounts create accounts in casinos and play, I've even seen news of children who managed to steal their parents' cars to go to a party, and from what I understood from the news they were 12-year-old children, but this happens because parents do not give their children due attention. |

This is nothing new, for some reason that I don't know, many governments look at gambling as something that they should ban, but since they don't want to look bad, they keep increasing the tax that people will have to pay when they play. The idea of making people pay taxes even when they lose is a way to discourage people from playing in my opinion and unfortunately there is nothing that people can do. If they want to continue playing they will have to pay this tax.

I confess that I am shocked by this law. It seems that the poor do not have the right to spend their own money, which was earned through their sacrifice. If the government is determining that the poor must have a limit on how they can gamble, then the government is giving orders to the poor on how they should use their money.
In my opinion, this should be illegal. I do not know what is written in the Philippine Constitution, but in most countries the Constitution gives all people the same rights and duties and it is up to the people to manage their own money. It is wrong for a government to discriminate against people.
