321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: June 21, 2023, 04:23:24 AM
Now, do you agree that crypto should be seen as a form of gambling? And if this eventually comes through, what should we expect as the constraints it might still bring to the crypto space?
I do not agree if crypto is called gambling, because it is clear that crypto assets are in the form of assets to invest and to be traded on the crypto market. Because in the crypto world too, there are sciences that must be learned and must be understood by investors, so that they can minimize losses and so that they can be closer to profits. So if that's the case, crypto cannot be called gambling, because when you want to invest or trade in crypto, you always need something called knowledge, such as analyzing the market sentimentally or fundamentally.

But if there is a crypto investor who is still new and keeps trying to trade or trying to invest, but from a scientific point of view it has not been explored, and only relies on luck. So if there are crypto investors like that, maybe they can be called gamblers, because there is no science yet, but they have the courage to invest.

So in conclusion, crypto assets cannot be called gambling, because basically crypto is an investment and trading asset. But what can turn crypto assets into a gamble, is because a crypto investor just joins in, because he only sees other people succeed, and then invests in crypto,and relying solely on luck without studying mature science.

It all depends on each person's knowledge, if you have no knowledge of investing and your investment in gold or stocks will also be considered gambling, not investment. Cryptocurrencies, stocks… all are just methods for us to use to make money, and whether it will be a gamble or an investment depends on our own decision. Even the people who create casinos and get rich from it, they will never call it gambling, what they are doing is investing and doing business.

For this season Xabi Alonso has brought big changes to Leverkusen and thanks to him Leverkusen are now in sixth place for this season.
If Alonso continues to use some good strategies, it is possible that next season he will be in the top four, but this is not only from Alonso, because the Leverkusen players themselves are very influential in getting to that position.
Even though it is felt that it is very unlikely for Leverkusen to have the top position, at least there is hope for them to reach the top four positions next season.
Leverkusen have been much stronger since being coached by Xabi Alonso, the peak of which was that he was able to bring Leverkusen to reach the semifinals of the Europa League last season, his steps were stopped after being eliminated by Roma 0-1 on aggregate. Leverkusen's potential is getting better, changes in quality are increasingly visible in the last season. Finishing in 6th place is not too disappointing for Leverkusen, at least they can compete in the Europa League next season.
Leverkusen must walk slowly to give competition in the top four positions, speaking of the top position is still very far and difficult to achieve at least for now. Being able to finish in the Champions League zone is already a proud achievement for Leverkusen.
Even though Bayer Leverkusen managed to finish in the top six, but in reality, Xabi Alonso was not easy to get Bayer Leverkusen to get up. Due to the fact, Bayer Leverkusen started last season from the relegation zone but yes, slowly Xabi Alonso can make great improvements in every match played. So of course, if in the next season Xabi Alonso can still make Bayer Leverkusen consistent to continue to compete in the top four or six in the Bundesliga standings, then I'm sure Xabi Alonso will also get a contract extension later.

I don't think Bayer Leverkusen's performances have been very good this season. Especially in the last 6 matches they could not win. The team could qualify for the Champions League if they perform well in these matches. Bayer Leverkusen management will likely look for a new coach next season. But Xabi Alonso seems to be a good enough coach. Given the opportunity next season, he may be able to stabilize the Leverkusen team. However, Leverkusen's forwards need to be strengthened. The team did not score much in the last season.

This and many more is the reason behind my current confidence in Bitcoin's ability never to let me lose if I hold for a long time.
Indeed knowledge is power, because knowledge can save you when money failed, because knowledge failure is a lifetime problem but money failure in terms of investment is temporally and if I wait I will soon be in profit again very soon, that is what past records have shown and proven.
I must say, I admire your courage for purchasing BTC before you actually studied it. Normally. potential investors would first study and research the market before they commit to an investment. Though the price of BTC has went down and somehow stabilized, this should not discourage anyone from attempting to invest in this space due to its sheer potential in the future.
It depends what you mean by "actually study it": bitcoin's purpose is pretty easy and straight forwarding to understand, and you don't need to be a financial expert or have some sort of financial degree to realize that countries keep printing money out of nothing, so inflation will be worse and worse every year. If you get those two points you are ready to buy bitcoin. Then you can go deeper on all the other related topics, especially the more technical ones, but in my opinion you don't need to know everything about bitcoin in order to buy it.

Are you trying to emphasize that buying bitcoin is to fight inflation and it's a good store of value to help us fight inflation? What if a person doesn't know too much about bitcoin and buys bitcoin for $69k? Will it still be an inflation hedge since even bitcoin was hit hard when inflation peaked in 2022?

If we want to invest in bitcoin, we need to know everything about bitcoin, there is no way that investing in bitcoin will yield good results without knowing too much about it. Bitcoin is very risky because of its volatility, if you don't have complete knowledge about it, how can you deal with its volatility?

It was a meaningful gift, and I'm sure she was delighted you did it with her. Recently I also saw a topic about giving bitcoins on the wedding day, but honestly, bitcoin will be a very meaningful gift if the recipient knows what it is and its value. But it doesn't make any sense if you give bitcoins to someone they don't know what it is.
Many people will object when you and her use Binance, but in this situation, I don't think there will be any other choice as she is relatively new and maybe Binance account is the only wallet she owns. Of course, you should tell her about the pros and cons of holding bitcoins on a centralized exchange, but with that amount of bitcoins, it would be really unwise to tell her about withdrawing bitcoins to the non-custodial wallet.

I think I am hearing Edin Dzeko s name through news every summer transfer season for like last 6-7 years. I think its too late to get him from now on. Turkish league isn't a league to do total retirement. Its highly competitive and matches on pitch are very physical. Old players like Gomis we may assume could only play like last 20 minutes at max. On the other hand I think Fenerbahçe will miss Enner Valencia a lot if he is really leaving. He wasn't very perfect player but he scored a lot. Hard to find such players.
The man is 37 years old, and his name is still mentioned in the transfer season. Fenerbahçe was interested in Dzeko and offered 8 million Euros for 2 seasons. Both a 2-year contract and such a hefty price are not really acceptable. If Dzeko had come 2-3 years ago, this money would have made sense, but a player on the brink of retirement right now is not given such a contract. I don't think Dzeko can handle 90 minute matches. However, he can enter the game later and contribute 25-30 minutes. No such contract is given for this. I don't think this transfer will happen, it just seems like news to pass the off season.
Despite the 37 year old player name being spoken up frequently during the transfer season it seems that the suggested agreement with Fenerbahçe is far from ideal. In light of the player current stage of development offering 8 million Euros for a two season contract seems extravagant. Even while such a sum could have been acceptable a few years ago it does not meet the standards for a player who is close to retiring. Dzeko ability to maintain himself for the entire 90 minutes of a game is questionable at this point but he still has time left in the game to contribute 25 to 30 minutes of experience and talent. But rather than a possible consequence It appears more likely that this transfer rumour is only a news tale created to fill the gap of the off season.
We have seen Edin Dzeko's name countless times during the transfer seasons for Fenerbahçe and even Galatasaray if I recall correctly. And finally it seems like it will happen. I also think 8 million Euros for 2 seasons is too much for a player at his age. Even Eto'o and Robinho came to Turkey at the age of 34, and Drogba at the age of 35. 37 is really too high. Turkish League's quality is highly debatable but we can say it is kinda physical league. 37-38 ages are very old for a player in the Big Three. I don't expect he will have a top performance time in here. I feel like a disappointment similar to Guiza is expecting Fenerbahce.

Edin Dzeko is over 37 years old. However, I don't think he's a good fit for the Turkish league. I saw Edin Dzeko's performance last season. Edin Dzeko's fitness is good despite his age. Edin Dzeko's performance with Inter Milan was quite good. He has performed in 33 Serie A matches and has not suffered too many injuries. And so I think if Dzeko joins any Super Lig team, he can give good service to the team for at least 2 years. Having Dzeko in the team at Fenerbahçe will definitely benefit.

Not expecting much from Nepal in Asia Cup. Several teams perform in the Asia Cup. Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are each stronger than Nepal. And the important thing is that experience plays a very important role in these series. Players need to be confident. But Nepali players are not very experienced. And so I see little possibility that Nepal will play well this season on a platform like Asia Cup. Also, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are in good form now.
Nepal is a very young team. Their captain (Rohit Paudel) is just 20 years old. Then there are several other players in their early 20s, such as Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Bhurtel, Bhim Sharki and Aasif Sheikh. Their star player Sandeep Lamichhane is just 22 years old. And then they have a few players who are still in their teens, such as Gulsan Jha, Kushal Malla and Arjun Saud. Whatever experience they gain from the two tournaments (2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier and the 2023 Asia Cup) will be useful for them in the future.
Nepal will need some experience. Without experience, they are not going to be able to beat the teams which are better than them. But if this team goes forward without having too many changes in the squad for at least three years now, I think they will be a good team in the future. But right now expecting anything from them is not the best expectation to have. They are young and energetic. With proper funding and coaching, they will be able to go a long way.
Nepal loves cricket a lot, and more and more people are getting excited about it. While relatively new to the world cricket, recently got chance to showcase their skills at prestigious events- Asia Cup 2023. However, their opponents both India and Pakistan are known for their high level of cricket. When you arrive at the international stage, even if they are very strong, you should always aim for bigger and better things. There is no limit of any dream, so let's play for the win. This team has the potential to join the top leagues of the ICC, but this will require perfect planning and a focused approach. With proper guidance and support, their cricket can go higher eventually.
There are some countries in cricket who have played for ages but not been able to change their status. However, considering Nepal from that point, they have been able to quickly change their position which is reflected in their performance. There are some batsmen in the Nepal team if they perform good the Nepal become a great opponent against any big team. Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Gyanendra Malla, Kushal Malla and some other batsmen who are likely to do well.

One of the reasons why the Nepali team is improving so fast is that the people of their country have been very interested in cricket since long. So they found some very talented players. Nepal has several talented players in its squad. However, they still lack experience. I watched Nepal match against Zimbabwe. The performance of Nepal's batsmen was quite good. But their bowlers are not playing well enough. As a result, Zimbabwe reached the target with the loss of just 2 wickets. Hope Nepal can find out its problems very soon. And will be able to quickly build the team stronger.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to fight with FUD about Bitcoin on: June 18, 2023, 03:11:54 AM
I'm an active participant in quora. Mostly I'm engaged in cryptocurrency discussion in Bengali. My purpose is simply to fight against FUD, misinformation. I have been doing this actively for long time now. I have engaged in debates in quora.

For the last few years, I'm trying to have a debate about Bitcoin with Mohammad Ghoni who was a Professor in a private university of Bangladesh. He claims himself as a economic analyst.

However, his negativity against Bitcoin is totally stupid. In fact, it seems he is biased when talking about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. He talks nonsense as if he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin. He is spreading wrong information about Bitcoin in quora. It's simple, when you don't know anything perfectly and you want to talk about that, you will only generate some stupid text.

I tried to engage with him in his responses. I'm ready to have a debate with him. The problem is he doesn't reply when someone wants to talk against his stupid opinion. He simply put answer on quora and then leave. I have replied in many of his answer in quora but never got a reply.
Now, I'm getting more concerned because he is spreading negativity in most of the questions. What can I do? Is there anything legal step someone can take, any foundation working on such issue? Or how can I invite him for a debate? I can simply put him on ignore but I'm also concerned about people getting wrong message. That's why I'm thinking something different.

Best thing you could do is ignore. If everybody would ignore his comments he'd just stop posting them. Reposting FUD articles and news is just feeding the trolls and amplifying the panic. Don't reply or repost and they will go away.

Totally agree, the OP's constant reply to those comments only makes them stand out even more and will help the creators of Fuds achieve their goals. I also think like you, when we come across comments or people spreading misinformation, it's best to ignore them. Because the more we care and respond, the more we inadvertently help them make their comments stand out and hit the front page. Conversely, when no one cares about them, they automatically disappear.
328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interested in investing in Bitcoin my childhood friend after losing business on: June 18, 2023, 02:59:07 AM
I didn't tell him anything about the risk of investing. Since he wants to invest, should I advise him to invest?

You must make it clear that you tell him about the risk of Bitcoin investment.  I think it is very crucial for your friend to invest in Bitcoin without knowing the risk he has to face when he invests in Bitcoin.  You as a friend should feel responsible of telling him the pros and cons of Bitcoin investment.  Then after he heard it, you do not need to push him into investing in Bitcoin he himself will know whether it best to invest in Bitcoin at the current market condition.

Giving investment advice to others is already a bad idea, and even worse if we try to hide the risks they may take. In my opinion, OP shouldn't just talk about the risks of investing in bitcoin, he should emphasize it to his friend because investing in bitcoin is really risky. Hiding the risk won't help his friend and will even hurt your friendship.
I agree with your advice, OP should not push or force him to invest. We should let him decide everything because he is investing with his own money and his own rights and interests.

Even a few years ago, the name of the Nepal team was not well known in the cricket world. But this team has been playing pretty well in the last two years. Their performance is improving very quickly. They have a lot of talented players in their country. Since Nepalese people like cricket well, they are interested in playing cricket. Nepal's squad has several talented players. These players will become experienced and Nepal team will be stronger. And this year's Asia Cup will help Nepalese players to become experienced.
Those who have seen some previous matches of Nepal team must have a good idea about this team. Despite being the No. 6 in the Asia Cup but they will definitely do well in this tournament. After India and Pakistan, the Nepal team is likely to form its position. However, the Nepal team may be a bit behind in terms of experience needed to play in any big tournament. But I am very optimistic about this country. Next 31st August Asia Cup will start and will continue to 17th September. We will be able to enjoy the desired fight between India and Pakistan as well.

Not expecting much from Nepal in Asia Cup. Several teams perform in the Asia Cup. Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are each stronger than Nepal. And the important thing is that experience plays a very important role in these series. Players need to be confident. But Nepali players are not very experienced.

Mbappe's favorite club is Real Madrid I've heard it many times. And every time for the last 3/4 seasons we hear rumours that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. But he didn't do that. I heard rumours this season that Messi will return to Barcelona, and then I heard that he will go to a club in Saudi Arabia. But eventually, Messi joined Inter Miami. And so we will hear a lot of rumours about Mbappe this season as well. But so far I don't believe any rumours regarding Mbappe. I don't think we will see Mbappe in Real Madrid's jersey this season.
Of course Mbappe will not be in Real Madrid's uniform in the 2023-2024 season, but there is always the possibility that PSG will try to complete Real Madrid's wishes as soon as possible so that they don't lose Mbappe for free.

PSG intends to sell Mbappe to any team that is willing to pay a high price, not only Real Madrid, so maybe we will get Mbappe in the uniform of one of the Premier League teams. Chelsea have shown interest, but Manchester City also appear to have a desire to take him to the Etihad. However I agree this is just a rumor because Mbappe still respects his contract very much.

PSG probably won't sell Mbappe. Because the main striker of their squad is now Mbappe. PSG management will not decide to sell Mbappe unless they find a replacement for Mbappe. I don't think Nasser Al-Khelaifi needs much money.
The whole matter of Mbappe joining Real Madrid is rumours. Also, I don't think Manchester City are too keen on Mbappe. The city has Haaland. Having Halland and Mbappe in a team is risky. Because they are rivals. I don't think Guardiola would want to take that risk. Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United also have a lot of money. These teams are also likely to want to sign Mbappe.

I do not like the too much issues that Mbappé move is causing. Already, I saw a news that where it seems someone was asking PSG to get done with deal and cut ties with him because he is trying to control the narrative. I just don't like that every time it is almost as if he is in the news for some odd reason. Messi moved without so much issues. I want Mbappé to go to whichever club he has chosen without noise.
Maybe you forgot which series with the possible transfer of Mbappe to Real Madrid we watched a year ago? Mbappe is a top player and as much as we would not like it now is the second season of the series and I am sure that perhaps until the fall we will see a lot of news about his future and possible options. By the way, there was also a lot of noise about Messi, and during the day the news sent him to the MLS, then to Barcelona, then to Saudi Arabia. The next day the cycle was repeated again.
As for the choice of Mbappe, this is obviously Real, but PSG do not want to let him go there, because in this case, Real will return to the top again (at least PSG will not have a chance against Real).

Mbappe's favorite club is Real Madrid I've heard it many times. And every time for the last 3/4 seasons we hear rumours that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. But he didn't do that. I heard rumours this season that Messi will return to Barcelona, and then I heard that he will go to a club in Saudi Arabia. But eventually, Messi joined Inter Miami. And so we will hear a lot of rumours about Mbappe this season as well. But so far I don't believe any rumours regarding Mbappe. I don't think we will see Mbappe in Real Madrid's jersey this season.

Nonetheless its a good news for Nepal as they will finally be seen competing with top teams of Asia.  
Nepal shown its existence and perform really well in its previous matches and now we are looking it in the Asia Cup and I hope it will show its power in the Cup too. All are top levels team and now we can say the Nepal team is also in top levels teams because now it is playing with them. And if it will perform well so it will show its name everywhere. Smiley
If you remember, Nepal qualified for the Asia Cup back in 2006 as well. But then the entire tournament was cancelled due to some dispute between the BCCI and PCB. For the next edition of the Asia Cup, the qualifiers was conducted once again rather than allowing Nepal to qualify directly. And this was the time when ICC changed their eligibility criteria, which allowed the Gulf teams to compete with first class players from India and Pakistan. As a result, the next tournament was conducted in 2008, and United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong participated in this tournament along with the 4 test nations from Asia.
Smaller teams like Nepal know what a big achievement it is to qualify for a major tournament but after they qualify, all their hard work goes in vain when the tournament is canceled due to political strife. In this season of Asia Cup as well, Nepal qualified for the Asia Cup as the sixth team but till now it was uncertain about the Asia Cup tournament because India was not willing to visit Pakistan and when Pakistan offered a hybrid model, various countries refused to play in that hybrid model. This year's Asia Cup is going to be held. This is great news for Nepal as the Asia Cup is finally going to be held after much discussion and criticism.
Asia Cup is very important for a team like Nepal. The Nepal team is not strong. And their players are inexperienced. Nepalese players will become more experienced if they play in big tournaments like Asia Cup. In this tournament, they will play against world-class players from Sri Lanka, Pakistan India and Bangladesh. I don't think Nepal will win any match. But the experience that the Nepali players will gain from this series is definitely very important for them.
The Asia Cup is basically held in the Asian continent with all the cricket playing countries.Among them are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka.However, Nepal is one of the most popular cricket-loving countries in Asia.They are working very hard to succeed in cricket I think Asia Cup is a very important tournament for them if they do well in this tournament then surely their cricket will go far.

Even a few years ago, the name of the Nepal team was not well known in the cricket world. But this team has been playing pretty well in the last two years.

If Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid takes place, a football player who will play successfully for many years as Real Madrid Benzema will be brought to the team. I believe Mbappe will outperform Benzema. What he's done for PSG is obvious and he's a perfect player statistically.
What are the bases of this your statement? You have any idea what Benzema have done for Real Madrid? Mbappe is probably a better player, but that doesn't mean he will have a better impact.
There are those that will ague that even Ronaldo did not do more for Madrid than Benzema, and if you look at the trophies they both won, Benzema has more trophies for Madrid than Ronaldo. Mbappe might score goals but lets see how Mbappe's time at Madrid will look like if he eventually signs.

Benzema's contribution to Real Madrid's squad is undeniable. Real Madrid have depended on Benzema's performances over the last few seasons. Benzema was in great form in the 2021-22 season. And Madrid won two important titles, La Liga and Champions League. Benzema has suffered several injuries this season. His performance was not very regular. Because of this, Madrid's performance was also erratic. Mbappe could be Benzema's replacement. However, it is unlikely that he will contribute more than Benzema once he joins Madrid. But Mbappe is a very talented scorer.

Nazmul Hossain to score a quiet double century.
Your prediction didn't come true, I regret to inform you that Nazmul Hossain got out with a quiet 146 runs. We all thought that he might score a double century today with the aggressive mood he is batting in but luck didn't help him. However, Bangladesh did not start the Test well when the first wicket fell for 7 runs. Mahmudul Hasan and Nazmul Hossain gave an impeccable innings of 212 runs. Nazmul Hossain Shanto was instrumental in making that pair and helped Bangladesh post a respectable score. Now Bangladesh wants a lot from Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das and if they can bat at the end of today's last session then the team score can go above 350 runs.

Shanto could not make 150 for only 4 runs. He played an excellent innings. Shanto returned to the dressing room after collecting 146 runs off 175 balls. While Shanto and Joy played well, two experienced batsmen like Liton and Muminul did not play well. They got out by collecting 15 and 9 runs respectively. I expected a better performance from Lytton. Now Miraz and Mushfiq are batting. These two batsmen of the Bangladesh squad are also very experienced. At the end of today, probably the Bangladesh team will be able to collect 370 runs.

Afghanistan cricket team has come to Bangladesh to play only one test match against Bangladesh. The only Test match between Bangladesh vs Afghanistan will be held at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium tomorrow. 
In the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh cricket team led by Liton Kumar Das will play a Test match against Afghanistan. 
Bangladesh's failure in test cricket against Afghanistan is 100% and Afghanistan's success is 100%. Bangladesh and Afghanistan have played only one official test match so far where Bangladesh lost by a big margin against Afghanistan.  These two teams will face each other in Test cricket in the second match through tomorrow's match. Bangladesh will surely want to win the second Test match to maintain the parity in the statistics.
Bangladesh recently played a test match against Ireland where they struggled to defeat the minnows. Spinners did a good job back then, with Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan picking up the wickets. But their batting performance was less than satisfactory, with batsmen other than Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim failing to make significant contributions. And this time it is going to be much tougher if Shakib is not there. Also, the Afghan bowling attack is much more lethal when compared to the Irish bowlers. Although Rashid is not there, they have quality bowlers like Zahir Khan and Karim Janat. 
The Bangladesh team cannot be called weak now. They have a strong enough squad. There are many talented players in the squad of Bangladesh. However, I have no confidence in Bangladesh's performance in the Test format. Bangladeshi players have less patience. And their performance in the Test format is very erratic. On the other hand, the opponent Afghanistan's spin bowlers are very experienced. Mirpur's pitch is also spin friendly. And so we probably won't see high scores in this test match. But the team whose batsmen play well will have more chances to win. The match is unlikely to be a draw. By the third or fourth day, we will see the result of the match.
You have said absolutely right that Bangladesh team should not be a weak team now.Because they have already proved that they have the ability to win against big teams.Moreover, the current Bangladesh team has several good quality batsmen and bowlers who can suddenly turn the tide of the match.

In the last few series, Bangladesh has also shown excellent performances against big teams. Bangladesh's performance against Ireland, England and India in the last 3 series has surprised everyone. And so at the moment, Afghanistan team is not a big opponent for Bangladesh. Also, Afghanistan played very badly in the last series against Sri Lanka. Even then Bangladesh's batsmen must bat responsibly in the next match. Afghanistan's spin attack is strong. If the Bangladeshi players do not perform carefully, they have the possibility of facing a batting disaster.

the weird thing about Sevilla which is different than Real Madrid is that Sevilla were playing terribly in their league and they managed to win the Europa League, in the other hand Real Madrid were still quite good in La Liga and they won the CL, so it wasn't as surprising as Sevilla, seems like spanish teams have some extra power on european leagues.
Sevilla have an interesting record in the Europa League, they have never lost on seven occasions going into the final. Sevilla seems to have strong chemistry with the Europa League, every time Sevilla is there they always manage to come out as champions.
Sevilla, which has performed poorly in La Liga, was able to show a different performance in UEL. The success of winning the UEL gave Sevilla an advantage next season. They are entitled to an automatic ticket to the UCL even if they fail to finish in the top four in the local competition. La Liga teams have proven capable of being the best in European competition, Real Madrid as the king of the Champions League while Sevilla as the king of the Europa League.
Sevilla's only target was the Europa League. We do not see any tendency among Sevilla players to perform well in the Champions League matches even though they have qualified for the Champions League. Sevilla have also qualified for next season's Champions League. But I think next season we will see Sevilla fighting for the Europa League title.
Sevilla's performance in La Liga has been very poor at the start of this season. They were consistently losing points in matches. Despite the poor performance in La Liga, we did not see any effect in the Europa League matches. Sevilla's performances in both La Liga and the Europa League were completely different. The Sevilla team can be called a specialist for the Europa League platform.
We can't complain about Sevilla targeting just Europa League instead of putting energy into all the trophies because according to the past results from this team and considering their situation, I think Sevilla could never focus on more than one achievement other than the Eruopa Leageu and that's why they had to put energy for this achievement.
Also, they were lucky enough to win this season of the Europa League because they can be in the next champions league which is a great win for this team.

I'm not complaining that Sevilla has only focused entirely on the Europa League. I say they only focused on one side so they became champions. Without Sevilla's focus, winning the Europa League title would have been more difficult. But I would have been happy if Sevilla could have done a bit better in La Liga. Sevilla's position in La Liga is 12th. I thought Sevilla would probably be in the 5/6 position. Hopefully, we will see better performances from Sevilla's players in La Liga next season too.

Afghanistan cricket team has come to Bangladesh to play only one test match against Bangladesh. The only Test match between Bangladesh vs Afghanistan will be held at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium tomorrow. 
In the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh cricket team led by Liton Kumar Das will play a Test match against Afghanistan. 
Bangladesh's failure in test cricket against Afghanistan is 100% and Afghanistan's success is 100%. Bangladesh and Afghanistan have played only one official test match so far where Bangladesh lost by a big margin against Afghanistan.  These two teams will face each other in Test cricket in the second match through tomorrow's match. Bangladesh will surely want to win the second Test match to maintain the parity in the statistics.
Bangladesh recently played a test match against Ireland where they struggled to defeat the minnows. Spinners did a good job back then, with Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan picking up the wickets. But their batting performance was less than satisfactory, with batsmen other than Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim failing to make significant contributions. And this time it is going to be much tougher if Shakib is not there. Also, the Afghan bowling attack is much more lethal when compared to the Irish bowlers. Although Rashid is not there, they have quality bowlers like Zahir Khan and Karim Janat. 

The Bangladesh team cannot be called weak now. They have a strong enough squad. There are many talented players in the squad of Bangladesh. However, I have no confidence in Bangladesh's performance in the Test format. Bangladeshi players have less patience. And their performance in the Test format is very erratic. On the other hand, the opponent Afghanistan's spin bowlers are very experienced. Mirpur's pitch is also spin friendly. And so we probably won't see high scores in this test match. But the team whose batsmen play well will have more chances to win. The match is unlikely to be a draw. By the third or fourth day, we will see the result of the match.

We can't judge Sevilla about their place in La Liga because they didn't focus on the league games and they didn't need the La Liga games to earn points at all in the last games because they couldn't reach the top of the table and on the other hand, Sevilla wanted to win the Europa League and they have enough hope for it because of the last wins the had in Europa League.
Many people still can't separate domestic league from European ones. Sevilla and West Ham are not that top in their leagues at all. Sevilla finished twelve and West Ham in the fourteenth position, yet they won Europa League and Conference League vs Italian teams that are classified better than them in the ranking.
Sevilla particularly are a hard number in Europa League, they are like nightmare for the teams facing them there!

Sevilla and West Ham were aiming to do well in the Europa League and Conference League respectively. And only qualifying for their own league. The Sevilla team's performance was very poor in La Liga. The team was also in the relegation zone for a long time. But they performed well in every Europa League match. As their target was the Europa League. They have succeeded in achieving the goal. Although big teams like Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United play in Europe League, they cannot win the title.
