Now it's almost confirmed that West Indies will not qualify for the ODI World Cup this year. Scotland needs just 89 more runs, with 9 wickets in hand. And if by some miracle Scotland can win their remaining two matches (against Zimbabwe and Netherlands), then they will be able to qualify to the World Cup. At this point, it looks like Sri Lanka will qualify with ease. And this is going to be the first time that West Indies could not qualify for the ODI World Cup. They were the champions in 1975 and 1979, and played all the editions to date. 

I will be happy if West Indies do not qualify for the World Cup. Because West Indies players are more interested in various franchise leagues than national team matches. West Indies players have not much desire to play in ODI and Test formats. They are very strong in the T20 format. And the West Indies team has been weak in ODI and Test formats ever since the senior players of the team retired. The West Indies Board did not make any attempt to solve this problem. And as a result, this team is not able to qualify for the World Cup.

How high can we go before 2024? $40k? $50k?
From the way things are going we can't predict the exact price that will end Bitcoin in this year. And if I may say or predict, it will below $30k. The first six months in the year, it was between 25,26, to 30k$ and now it has stand on 30k$. So the remaining six months it will still come down below $30k before it will go up again.

Your prediction is completely different from the rest here and it is interesting to think about it. To me, the market does not follow the crowd, when everyone expects and believes that bitcoin will definitely increase, bitcoin will reach 40k-50k by the end of the year. It is more than likely that bitcoin will go against people's wishes, and it has happened many times, and this time was no exception.

What I want is to accumulate a lot of bitcoins, so I don't expect bitcoins to rise too quickly and cross the $30k. I prefer bitcoin with low prices until year-end rather than recovery.

England are doing OK, they trail by 138 runs but never underestimate their ability to totally mess things up. Australia set a tough target but England are doing OK with only 4 wickets lost. I’ve seen England in similar positions get bowled out in 90 minutes though.
Hopefully they can push to get close to the total of 416 set by the Aussies but do not rule out an England collapse on day 3, we’ve seen it all before.

England's batsmen are playing very well. Every batsman except Joe Root managed to score good runs. Looking forward to seeing how the England batsmen will start tomorrow. England is only 138 runs behind. If they bat well in the first 10 overs of the day, England can easily collect 138 runs. My guess is that England will be able to collect something like 4450-470 in their first innings. But the Australian bowlers are quite experienced. England's batsmen must try to stay at the crease with patience if they want to collect big.

Simone Inzaghi is quite an experienced coach. And Inter Milan's performance last season wasn't too bad. However, their performance was erratic. Inter Milan's squad is not strong right now. And so we are not seeing good performance from the team even after the coach is good enough. If Inter Milan can spend enough money to build the team next season then I would say Simone Inzaghi can make Inter Milan team more stable. However, Inter Milan is unlikely to prepare large funds for player purchases.
Actually, even though Inter Milan failed to win the UCL title, they have shown that even though they don't have the fit players to stop the movement of opposing players. Next season, Inter Milan needs to close the transfer window with a focus on close several players. If this is done by Inter maybe next season they can win the Serie-A title.
Failure to win the UCL title is unfortunate for Inter. But I think Inter's player turnover is the main weakness for Inter's team.  But for the next season, Interminal should select skilled players to be fully prepared. If the internal coach can add some new players and develop them into skilled players by coaching them properly. I think it will be very easy to win the Serie-A title next season

I would say Inter Milan qualifying for the Champions League final is a huge achievement for them. If Inter Milan had faced Bayern Munich or Madrid, the team might not have qualified for the final. Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League was steady. But their squad was not strong enough. As all the teams in the Champions League are strong, Inter Milan also needed a strong squad. We are not sure if Inter Milan management will build a stronger squad next season.
305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 28, 2023, 06:02:27 PM
There is always a way out. I tee Milan has quite aging players that are worth replacing.  They have Henric Mkhitaryan for 34 years (attacking Midfield), Edin  Dzeko, for 37 years (central forward), and Darmian, for 33 years (right back). Currently, all the centre-backs in Inter Milan are 36 years and above and the two goal keepers are 38 and 40 years respectively. This team has enough players that are worth replacing to race funds and bring in new young players that are hungry to make names.  This is the only way forward but they keep holding unto those aging players.
Its not that easy. Rebuilding a squad is expensive and Inter don't have that kind of money. And also you don't expect them to just get young players. That's risky. The young players might not leave up to their potential, plus experience is a very big advantage in football.
Inter's players are not all old. They have players that are 27-29 years and the also have young player like Barella and Bastoni that are very good.
They just need to make a few additions and replace players like Brozovic and Dzeko that are leaving and they are good. I also read that they want to sign Lukaku permanently.
but you know, in my opinion it's not so much the players who have to change
This team has been like this for decades, the problem is the managerial part
it's the one to send home, not the players and not even the coach
Inter have changed many coaches, even good ones, no one manages to get as much as they should

Simone Inzaghi is quite an experienced coach. And Inter Milan's performance last season wasn't too bad. However, their performance was erratic. Inter Milan's squad is not strong right now. And so we are not seeing good performance from the team even after the coach is good enough.

306  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC > 1M ? on: June 28, 2023, 04:28:22 AM
very likely, but not at this time and not in the near future.
there used to be experts who said bitcoin price would reach $100k but few people believed that, and now $100k looks very likely. maybe something like this will happen again.
One million for 1 BTC? The chances of that happening are slim, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Right, we all had doubts about bitcoin hitting $100k until it hit $69k then that doubt was gone. So it's no surprise that many people don't believe that bitcoin can hit $1 million. Honestly, even I never thought about this until I came across this thread. But I think we don't need to think about those distant things, we should focus on the nearer goals, and that is $100k. When the goal of $ 100k is completed, we can think of bigger things.
Chances are not "slim" in the sense that there is no timing, that's what makes this a bit weird. I mean think about it this way, could it be over a million dollars by 2050? If bitcoin keeps on growing and doesn't collapse and be worth nothing, then as long as it continues then 1 million is nothing by that time, it could be multiple million dollars. Would it be a million this year? Of course not, next year? Nope, year after that? No chance.

However, could it be 30 years from now? Obviously it could be and the chances are not slim on that one. This is why I believe that we shouldn't really be doing anything that is crazy and unexpected, we should be expecting this to happen and it wouldn't be such a shock to anyone, it would be normal.
Each of us does have that different taking when it comes to Bitcoins potential on which there would really be those people who would really be that optimistic with the price and this is why they would be predicting about a million per coin which we cant really tell whether this one would really happen or not.It did really just turn out that there are people who are really that saying these numbers in a short time frame lets say this upcoming bull run andi into the next one which we know that it isnt something achievable if we do really tend to look on how the price behaves or moves with the recent years on which it is really just that a hell of  wavy ocean
on which the price goes up and down. We do have cycles and we do have trend and seasons on which we know that it could  be only neither be bullish or bearish or simply just depend.
This is why i cant blame out some people would be saying that this price is unrealistic or something that could happen in the future.

In short, everything is just a prediction, and depending on each person's vision of bitcoin, no one will be right or wrong because it has not happened, so it is difficult to say. I don't care if bitcoin hits $1 million or not because that's too far-fetched goal, what I care most about is if bitcoin hits $100k, how much profit will I get from it? So what I am focusing on is accumulating bitcoins every time I have money, and I hope this bear season lasts longer so I have enough time for myself. I'm pretty pragmatic, bitcoin hasn't hit $100k yet, so it's unrealistic to think of $1 million.
307  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price hitting 30k twice this year. on: June 27, 2023, 08:48:51 AM

So far $30k is still holding, but maybe not too strong support when the current price gap is only $400. I hope the bitcoin price doesn't drop below $30k by the close of June, although I know that's also possible.

If bitcoin falls below $30k, it's not a bad thing. I mean, why don't we take advantage of the short-term correction to profit, or will that also give us more time to accumulate bitcoins? Even if bitcoin goes higher and crosses $35,000, we won't have a bull market this year, so I think it would be better for it to fall back instead of continuing higher. Maybe I'm thinking the opposite of everyone, but that's what I want. For me, the bulls will only appear after the halving, so the current rally will only make it harder for us to accumulate, so I don't expect bitcoin to go higher.

 Left for me, i don't think Joselu  could come closer to the likes of Karim Benzema when it comes to replacing him as a top 9 of a big club like Realmadrid, better finishers the likes of Victor oshimen, Harry kane or even kylan mbappe would have been preferable.
Fans like us can only give opinions according to our own views, while the team management and coaches also have their own views in recruiting players into the team. I also don't know what Joselu sees from Real Madrid, while players like Victor Oshimen, Harry Kane or even Kylian Mbappe are very clear that they are all players who have made pretty good achievements in the team they have occupied. So Real Madrid fans can only hope for Joselu to be better than Karim Benzema.

Joselu is a very talented player. Last season we saw excellent performances from Joselu, even with a weak team like Espanyol. Joselu is quite an experienced player. I think Joselu will be able to play better with a stable and experienced squad like Real Madrid. But I would have been happy if the Madrid management had chosen Kane or Mbappe as a replacement for Benzema. If these two players were added to the Madrid team, Madrid's attack would have become stronger.
309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 26, 2023, 05:51:51 PM
Barcelona made the right transfer move. İlkay Gündoğan will be very successful there. They needed to reinforce the midfield. İlkay Gündoğan is a true maestro who both scores and assists. He will fit perfectly into the FC Barcelona system. It's necessary to make such additions to the champion roster.
Barcelona benefited greatly from their success in signing Gundogan from Manchester City for free. He is a talented player who can play in several positions, his right foot and left foot are equally strong which allows him to play in both left midfield and right midfield positions. He is also able to play well in the defensive midfield position, when the coach needs him to play in that position, he is able to play his role well.
After officially introducing Gundogan as a new player, Barcelona immediately fenced off the player with a high release clause. Reporting from Fabrizio Romano report on his Twitter account, Barcelona installed Gundogan release clause of 400 million Euro. He will be an important player for Barcelona because his experience and talent can help strengthen the Barcelona midfield area and he is also very diligent in scoring goals and assists.
As luck would have it, Barcelona can get Gundogan for free and put up a high price because it is to improve their finances or if not, Barcelona really don't want to lose Gundogan from their club.
I think next season Barcelona will not be as strong as last season even though there are still some other reliable players but the dominance of the club is definitely weakening every season and needs new players to strengthen it but Barcelona can't achieve that and one way is just to charge a high price for Gundogan.
This is actually a blessing for Barcelona because if we look at Gundogan's transfer, there is no need to spend money there, of course this is a blessing in itself.
On the other hand, they also immediately gave more space to their finances by spending Busquets, which indirectly reduced their salary expenses, especially considering Busquets' condition is one of the players with the biggest salaries for them. This is clearly an extraordinary advantage for Barcelona because apart from reducing their salary burden a little, on the other hand they also immediately got a replacement which is actually quite good because Gundogan is still one of the players with above average individual skills.

Barcelona is still struggling financially. And if Gundogan had to be bought by Barcelona, then maybe the Barcelona management would not be very interested in taking Gundogan into the team. However, although Barcelona are still weak financially, they will do their best to strengthen their squad. Because next season, Barcelona will not only play for the La Liga title, but the team will also want to do well in the Champions League. And so despite the financial crisis, Barcelona will be adding a number of talented players to their squad this season.

Yes the both players are completely different, Bale played an important role and did play very well for Real Madrid, but not with Hazard. He did not have a good performance when at Real Madrid, repeated injuries and poor performance make kept him on the bench. A little playing time also made that man performance a weak, if only Ancellotti can played it in every game when he was recovering from injury then I think Hazard performance can be a better, but no because maybe Ancellotti was not too satisfied with him.
It could be that Ancelotti is not too satisfied with him, but Ancelotti himself must also realize that Hazard's poor performance at Real Madrid was due to injury and very little playing time so that there would be no development whatsoever from Hazard's appearance at Real Madrid. And if next season Hazard is still at Real Madrid, I think Ancelotti needs to give him more time to play in games so that there is an improvement that Hazard can bring to Real Madrid if he is no longer hampered by injuries.
Hazard should have really recovered from his injury before being used by Ancelotti to play to strengthen the team because if his condition has not fully recovered it will only make him injured again.
Actually, Hazard is a talented player and can make the opposing team aware of him, but again, Hazard always has problems with injuries that always happen.
Ancelotti must have other options so that Hazard can be useful for Real Madrid and not just sit idly on the bench.

Hazard is a talented player but he did not succeed with Real Madrid. He played only 54 matches in 4 seasons with Madrid. And scored only 4 goals. As soon as he arrived at Madrid, his fitness problems started. He has played over 30 matches in each season with Chelsea. However, Ancelotti should find a replacement for Hazard. Or deciding to sell Hazard. Since Madrid is not getting good performance from Hazard. So Madrid should sell him and get a new player.

Currently, bitcoin is like a commodity, and to own bitcoin, you need to buy and sell it with fiat, if you don't have a bank account, how will you buy bitcoins? Are you an investor, and are you using the bank to buy and sell bitcoins? Honestly, I don't see this going to have any impact on the development of bitcoin, they are entirely unrelated. Moreover, many people are reducing their dependence on banks, which does not mean they no longer use banks and only use bitcoin. As long as fiat remains the main currency, we cannot stop using the bank completely, we will still depend on it to a certain extent.

Zimbabwe team is all out for 268 runs. I think 268 runs is a small target for West Indies. That's because West Indies' batting is stronger than Zimbabwe's, if they can give them a better run target, it would have been a little easier for Zimbabwe to win this match. However, Zimbabwe will now have to bowl well and take wickets. If that happens, the West Indies team will be under a bit of pressure. Zimbabwe will not be able to beat the West Indies if they do not take consecutive wickets
The match turned out to be very competitive. We are enjoying a great match. It is still not possible to predict which team will win today. West Indies collected 199 runs in 37 overs. But they lost 6 wickets. Roston Chase and Holder are batting now. Roston managed to collect 30 runs. Even then, scoring 70 off 78 balls seems to be much more difficult. The important thing is that the bowling of Zimbabwe bowlers today is very controlled. This is why West Indies batsmen are unable to stay at the crease for long. I will be happy if Zimbabwe wins. Because this group is very hardworking.
West Indies just lost the wicket of Jason Holder. West Indies' seventh wicket falls. I would say West Indies' last hope now is Roston Chase. West Indies will win or lose if Roston Chase survives to the end. West Indies players need to collect 50 more runs to win. But since there are no experienced players at the crease. It is very difficult for West Indies batsmen to collect 50 runs under such pressure. And you said that Zimbabwean bowlers are bowling very well today. But I am surprised Zimbabwe's captain today used their 8 bowlers. At the moment, Zimbabwe looks more likely to win.
Zimbabwe likely to win in this match against the West Indies and it seems that the last two wickets for West Indies would not be able to achieve this target.
Both teams have won two matches each and also they played two matches so this match is crucial for them as if the points they get in this match will be helpful in the super 6 stage of the world cup qualifier.
Edit: 36 runs needed from 34 balls and only the last wicket remaining for the West Indies.

Whaaat a match!!! Shocked Shocked Today was a memorable day for Zimbabwe. It was totally unexpected that they could pull off such a great win against the West Indies. Still, after being given a target of just 269 runs, everyone thought West Indies would win today. Because in the last match too, West Indies made a huge collection of 339 runs against Nepal. But today West Indies lost by 35 runs against Zimbabwe. Congratulations to the Zimbabwe team. Special thanks should go to Sikendar Raza. He scored 68 runs and bowled well.

West Indies vs Zimbabwe

I am looking forward to watching the Zimbabwe vs West Indies match. This match is very important for both teams. Because the team that wins this match will occupy the top spot in the table. In general, the West Indies team seems to be favourites in this match. But the performance of the Zimbabwean players in the first two matches was really surprising. They won the two matches by 6 and 8 wickets respectively. The batsmen are in great form. And if they are able to put up such a performance against West Indies, it will be very difficult for West Indies to beat Zimbabwe.
Today's match will see two teams topping the points table face off against each other. There is no option for both teams to win today's match to retain the top position in the points table. According to statistics, West Indies should be ahead in this match. But it cannot be said that West Indies will win this match depending on Zimbabwe's recent performance in World Cup qualifiers. The captains of the two teams may have different plans for winning the toss. West Indies batting success in the first innings proved against Nepal and Zimbabwe are the successful team playing with targets as they won the first two matches playing with targets by huge margins. Hopefully, whichever team wins the toss, no team should have a problem winning the toss.
West Indies won the toss and decided to field today. Zimbabwe started well. They did not lose any wickets in 15 overs. However, at the end of 20 overs, Zimbabwe lost 2 wickets and lost 80 runs. I wouldn't say it's a bad collection. If the batsmen can stay at the crease then Zimbabwe will be able to provide big targets.
Opener Craig Ervine remained unbeaten on 41 runs. He has batted responsibly in the previous two matches as well. He played an innings of 121 runs in the first match and 50 runs in the second match. Maybe he will be able to play big innings in today's match.
Falling two wickets at this time is risky for the Zimbabwe team. Now there is a pair of Craig Ervine and sean William if the pair can hold then Zimbabwe can bring a big number of runs. Craig Ervine has done very well in the last two matches but is on the way to a half century today too I think. West Indies will have their toughest challenge if Craig Ervine can achieve a century. If Zimbabwe can collect runs like this, they can collect more than 300 runs. West Indies and Zimbabwe will be a very competitive game as both teams are strong.
Right now, Zimbabwe have lost 4 wickets and their run rate has completely slowed down. at this time the Zimbabwean batsmen were under pressure and could not score much runs. If today's match ends like this then it will be very difficult to score 230 runs. The way Zimbabwean batsmen are batting at the moment shows that it is very difficult for them to increase their runs. Their chances of winning this match are very low. At the moment, Zimbabwe's total score is 150 runs, 4 wickets in 33 overs.

The Zimbabwe team was able to collect 268 runs. As they started, it was a very good collection. But is it enough to win? We know the West Indies batting line-up is very strong. And the batsmen are in very good form in this tournament too. That is why it is difficult to win against a team like West Indies by giving a target of 269 runs. In 9 overs, West Indies lost 1 wicket and collected 46 runs. If they don't lose quick wickets, West Indies will reach the target of victory very easily. But if the top order wickets of West Indies can be picked up quickly by the bowlers of Zimbabwe, then the match will become competitive.

Nunez may not even be remotely close to Haaland, but I agree that the team plays a big role in there. If Nunez played for City and Haaland played for Liverpool, I think we would see Haaland score less and Nunez score more. Would Haaland still score more than Nunez? Maybe, maybe not.
I think the teams involved does play a huge role here. Nunez is a very talented player as well and could very well be relied upon to score goals. Manchester City plays beautiful football as a team and does a pretty good job of getting the ball over to Haaland who then goes ahead to score goals.
I agree with you that if the roles were reversed and Darwin Nunez was playing for Manchester City, we would see Nunez score more goals and Haaland score less. I think the entire team hugely contributed to a very successful first premier league season for Haaland.
With a squad like Manchester City, Nunez might have scored a lot of goals. Not to say that the Liverpool squad is weak. However, since Sadio Mane left the team, Liverpool's performance has completely collapsed. And their performance was very erratic. Because of this, the team has not consistently performed better than Nunez. However, in the last few games of the season, Liverpool played very well and their performance was stable. Therefore, it is expected that Liverpool's performance will not be irregular in the next season. At the same time, Nunez will be able to score a lot of goals if he gets enough support from his teammates.
A lot has indeed gone wrong since Mane's departure, but let's also not forget that Virgil van Dijk has left the best days behind him too. Since he recovered from his serious knee injury, he has never reached his old level again. He used to lead his defense perfectly, but now it's almost winning every game and it's all leaking like a basket in the back. Van Dijk is not someone you can just replace, but I think you're going to need more leadership at the back for Liverpool. Otherwise it could be another catastrophic season. If Klopp performs poorly again, it could be the end of the story for him. And was Arsenal's performance a fluke or were they just really good?

Sadio Mane was a very important player in Liverpool's squad. But Liverpool's management and coach could not understand Mane's talent. And so they sold Mane without finding a suitable replacement. And as a result, the performance of the entire team became unstable. However, almost all Premier League teams will make changes to their squads next season. Liverpool management should also add more talented players to their squad. If not, it will be much more difficult for Liverpool to stay in the competition. The team could not qualify for the Champions League. Their aim should be to win next season's Europa League.

Today's match of UAE vs Scotland is a very tough one. Team UAE won the toss but they decided to do bowling first. According to the current statistics, the match is highly in the favor of UAE team and they are most likely to win the match if they continue playing like this. In 19 over Scotland team has made just 64 runs, and they have already got 4 of their players out during those overs. Scotland team has very fewer chances to cross the 200-run mark, and if they score anywhere around 170-190, then it won't be a hard target for team UAE. I'm quite sure that UAE team will have victory in this match, but it's still too early to decide. Someone on this forum has betted in support of team Scotland, and I think that guy will lose the bet if team UAE wins the match. However, the shape of the match can change anytime if Scotland team gives their best.

I thought the UAE team was strong enough. But UAE's performance in the World Cup Qualifier matches disappointed me. They lost against Sri Lanka and Oman. And in today's match also UAE team is going to lose against Scotland. Scotland set a huge target of 283. But UAE batsmen are not playing well. UAE has already lost 8 wickets and collected only 170 runs. UAE need 113 runs in 16 overs to win. And I think it is impossible for them. Scotland are looking for their second win today after their win against Ireland in the first match.

Nunez may not even be remotely close to Haaland, but I agree that the team plays a big role in there. If Nunez played for City and Haaland played for Liverpool, I think we would see Haaland score less and Nunez score more. Would Haaland still score more than Nunez? Maybe, maybe not.
I think the teams involved does play a huge role here. Nunez is a very talented player as well and could very well be relied upon to score goals. Manchester City plays beautiful football as a team and does a pretty good job of getting the ball over to Haaland who then goes ahead to score goals.
I agree with you that if the roles were reversed and Darwin Nunez was playing for Manchester City, we would see Nunez score more goals and Haaland score less. I think the entire team hugely contributed to a very successful first premier league season for Haaland.

With a squad like Manchester City, Nunez might have scored a lot of goals. Not to say that the Liverpool squad is weak. However, since Sadio Mane left the team, Liverpool's performance has completely collapsed. And their performance was very erratic. Because of this, the team has not consistently performed better than Nunez. However, in the last few games of the season, Liverpool played very well and their performance was stable. Therefore, it is expected that Liverpool's performance will not be irregular in the next season. At the same time, Nunez will be able to score a lot of goals if he gets enough support from his teammates.

Whether Bellingham made the right choice depends on whether he can play his way into the team and become a pillar of the Real Madrid team. If not, he would be one of those young guys who took the step one or two years too early. It can happen, but it can also end greatly for him and turn out to be the exact right thing to do.
But I now saw that he said it wasn't about the money for him and has never been. to be honest it makes me laugh because Real Madrid is among the highest paying teams in the world (SPL not included here). It was said he had an offer from Manchester City and it was even better in terms of his salary, but really how much? A few million? That doesn't even matter whether you earn 20 million in Madrid or 25 million in Manchester. Saying that money doesn't matter when you actually earn far over 20 million a year including sponsoring deals must be quite easy. I would also say that money doesn't matter if I made 20 million or 30 million a year...
I think it still matters that in Real Madrid Bellingham will become a star, and in City he will be part of the mechanism, even Haaland is considered there as a cog in Guardiola's machine. While Bellingham is young, he really shouldn’t chase after a meager (if you take persents) profit - he needs to work for global goals, because when he becomes a legendary football player, some Saudis will pay him several hundred million at once.

Real Madrid would be the best choice for Bellingham. Madrid has an experienced squad. And this team always performs well in the Champions League. Bellingham is undoubtedly a very talented player. With an experienced squad like Madrid, he will become more experienced. We have seen the performance of Manchester City's Haaland this season. He played several times better with Manchester City than he did at Dortmund. Bellingham is expected to become a legendary player for Madrid in the future. If he works hard, I think Bellingham has the potential.
